Facebook really helps me to keep up with my old friends. Even if I didn't get to see them face to face, at least I see their photos. I could barely recognise some of them. Through the years, many have changed so much. I wonder if they know I'm peeping at them. Or perhaps I'm being peeped right now! haha!
The magic of technology. Reminds me of one of the grueling GP essays I have to write. haha! Actually, many of my friends have become prettier and more handsome. I see many of them going to the clubs and wearing pretty clothes. Then I look at myself. hmmm... Seems like I didn't really change much. Maybe minus the two long plaits. :)
But I still miss those times when we had ugly hair styles. haha! We used to play catching at the back of the stage before the old BPS was taken away. And we played hop-scotch and crocodile and I miss the plain noodles with chilli and fishballs! Woo. Primary school food is like the best to me.
Well, I'm growing up. I love growing up and looking back at those fond memories. It's just a nice feeling.

Red Cliff - A John Woo movie
I've just caught the Red Cliff Part 1 movie. It leaves me some afterthoughts.
Above is the trailer of Red Cliff, I guess it includes some of the Part 2 elements.
I wasn't really that interested in the Three Kingdoms initially, and I couldn't understand why Junming loves the story so much. He'd tell me some famous phrases that illustrate the happenings of the story and etc. I shall not elaborate more because I really can't remember much of the phrases now. haha!
But after this movie, I'm setting my heart to comprehending the "chim-inology" of the Three Kingdoms. The reason for my urge to watch this really bloody and manly show is because of Tony Leung, my idol. haha! Not that I'm superficial but his charm is irresistable. Moreover, it's a John Woo movie and there are so many good actors, I just can't believe how bad it'll get. So, I'm for the good actors, especially Tony Leung! haha!
Things that I like about the movie:
1. Tony Leung as Zhou Yu, someone who has courage & wit. I mean I like the way he protrays Zhou Yu. A man of charm and humour. Well, supposedly, it was Chow Yun-Fat to take the role but since it's my idol now, it's even better.
2. I like their war scenes. Finally for one show I know who is fighting who! Their moves were nicely planned. And they had brilliant tactics thought by the infamous Zhu Ge Liang!
3. I like it when Guan Yu emerged and randomly threw his spear, which hit one soldier. After which, he grabbed hold of another soldier's spear and poke the soldier behind him. Then he took the poor victim's spear and poke yet another man, and then grab another soldier's spear and poke another, and...
He's like playing a snatch-and-poke game.
An amusing thing happen halfway through I watch the movie.
Suddenly, when it comes to Zhou Yu and others meeting Liu Bei, the screen was suddenly blank and a soft background music sounded. Everybody was shocked. I thought that was the end of my $10 movie! haha!
So there was an error made by the control people. But when the screen is up again, it wasn't any better. There was no audio from the movie and the soft music was still playing. When a dancer was shown dancing in front of Cao Cao, the music of "Beauty and the Beast" started to play and haha! the whole cinema broke into laughter!
But not too bad, I've got a complimentary pass now. haha!

my baby cousin
Huixin is so adorable!
Now she knows how to 'twist' when she takes pictures,
she knows her ABCs,
she knows how to fit those jig-saw puzzles,
she knows how to choose her diapers' colours,
she knows how to avoid '辣辣' (spicy) food,
she knows how to bully my brother and take away his computer chair,
she knows how to order people around...
haha. Such a naughty yet adorable imp.
Sometimes I really dunno whether I should be angry with her or to laugh at her.
Kids are just so lovable.

I've just finished watching a HK drama series - 识法代言人
When I first started chasing after every episode, I secretly wish that I can finish watching the whole series quickly. I'd watch one esp after another with enthusiasm.
But now, after all the efforts, I am gald to announce that I have come to the end of this drama.
But somehow, ironically, I just feel a teeny bit of disappointment.
I often get this kind of disappointment especially when it comes to good books or good movies or good drama series. There seems to be a kind of emptiness within me when I come to the end of the stories. Is it because there is no more continunity of the story? I think so.
We always need something to look forward to. Something that gives us hope.
It reminds me of my serving as a worship leader.
When I first started, I am so on 'fire'. I want to serve as often as possible.
But after many episodes of serving, I feel like I'm coming to the end of the story.
But the truth is no, there's a continuity. And in fact, that's that that makes me tired.
What I lack is hope and passion. With these, I'm sure I can do better.

Worship leading...
"We, worship leaders, are just signposts to point people to God, in both good times and bad."
YES! :)
-Daniel Seet, 13/2/07
Being a Worship Leader is full of challenge.
To serve with passion, to serve with influence and to serve with power.
Recently, it hasn't been smooth-sailing for me.
The weight of worship leading has been heavy on me, so much that I get tired of leading.
Whenever I'm choosing songs, my mind becomes blank.
I realise I'm running on my reserve, not from the Source of Power.
Thank God that He persisted and never give up on me. :)
Lord will bless me in this Youth Sunday's worship!
But all is not too bad. The various times that I led, despite the process behind every worship leading, the results turn out to be good. Miraculously! God will never allow His worship to be a failure. :) Good, as in people are worshiping.
The best is still ahead!
每一个必须得胜的战场，就是我们的心。
每一个必须得胜的战场，就是我们的心。
I will soar victoriously!
YES! :)Tuesday, June 24
Post-camp post
Recalling about the camp, I really have much after-thoughts about it.
This is my first time participating a camp as a committee.
It really wasn't easy organising one. In fact, it is more than tedious.
It requires a very detailed plan of the whole 4days 3nights activities.
Even as I'm planning the murderer game with Sihui and Huilin, the details of the story are unfathomable.
I'm in charged of the budget for this camp. And I'm so afraid of have deficit in my cash on hand.
So I prayed very hard. Trust me, I really prayed so hard. haha! I dun wanna fork out money from my own pocket or let any money disapear without any reason.
But God is a gracious God! He really works miracles! Or rather did I pray too hard?
There was excess in my cash on hand! And it's not a small sum. I double-checked and re-verified, but there was just excess! Oh man! God is fabulous! :)
As for Rakkaus, I really have nothing to say!
I wasn't able to participate and stay with my family most of the time.
I tried my best to stay with them, know the new friends and really have fun with them.
But it was hard. It really is easier to have more fellowship with the rest as a participant. :)
i was really worried about Rakkaus. The team dynamics of theirs, whether they were able to enjoy the games and whether they feel comfortable in the group. But thank God, in the end, I see everyone enjoying themselves. And we even emerged as the champion! That was really unexpected! (even to me, when i was calculating the points!)
But still, Rock on Rakkaus!
A family protrait of the piggy Rakkaus!
Rakkaus seriously at work... on our beautiful flag!
