Normality, somewhere between a fantasy and a nightmare...


Song of the moment: Mikuni Shimokawa - Minamikaze(Full Metal Panic: TSR OP theme)

Once again, normality has settled into my life...in the end, it's just a job to earn a little more pocket money and get a bit more experience of working life. Although it was rather relaxed for the first couple of days, today was photocopying and binding all the way during work. At least it isn't as boring anymore...but I still miss leveling up my characters in FF1...

My church has started a 'combined CG' kind of thing on certain week to facilitate in the preparation for my church's DOC (Days of Outreach and Celebration), where as it says, we do outreach to the community in various ways. Last week's combined cell was training for us youths on how to reach out to non-Christians, done by people from Youth For Christ. Rather interesting, rope tricks and hand gestures with a biblical message in them.
Really screwed up last Saturday for the powerpoint slides. Still haven't really got used to the flow of the music team but I managed to get some kind of continuity when showing the slides, thankfully. Dinner there was good though, fish cake porridge with hot dogs and toast(sounds more like breakfast, doesn't it?). I am still nowhere near done with setting up the computers in Bay for public use. I haven't found the time to go down and start setting it up proper.

Met up with SJ and Jon after Church to do some birthday shopping for two of my classmates(Happy Birthday, KT and Winnie!). Once again, more of my hard earned(or rather, not-so-hard earned) cash goes to buying presents. I also found out SJ's little secret...all I have to say is, "Be a man...do the right thing!!". LOL...just cheer up, you'll find the ONE eventually.
(Anyways, just to give my two classmates a clue, your present are from Perlini's...also Russell Peters is supposedly coming to Singapore on the 12th of October, anyone got info? Let's all buy the tickets together! Otherwise, Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad... )

Now, I have read up till Chapter 30 (a.k.a the final chapter) of HBP, 'The White Tomb'. Dumbledore's killer, while not unexpected, still came as somewhat of a surprise to me. Also, the Half-Blood Price has also been revealed to us. His true was more of a surprise to me as throughout the book, none of the 'clues' ever pointed to him. I expect Chapter 30 to have Harry closing himself emotionally to prepare himself for his showdown against Lord Voldemort. Guess we all must have faith in Rowling to continue to give us readers fanservice and yet stay true to her vision for Harry Potter. You might wonder, is there any fanservice at all in Harry Potter? Some people may not think so, but I feel that the Remus/Tonks relationship was more fanservice than Rowling's plot. Just a personal opinion so don't flame me too much...

There are times, we feel that we have the right to choose how we want to run our lives and it is so hard to stick to God's plans for us. In the end, FAITH makes all the difference...FAITH in what we cannot see or feel, FAITH in what we cannot understand...
