♥ 8:18 AM
gloomy gloomy morning.
for the first time i went to work, the skies are grey.
well tht was kinda random. anw, went to send weiwei off on mon, stayed over at deb's to send yx off the nxt morn. actually wanted to stayover at the airport, but since deb offered her house, so why not eh. haa. anw we cabbed tgt the nxt morn. cos according to deb, it takes an hr to bus to work though she lives in the east! yea so theres no more yx until june ): yes and cos of sending her off, i took a day leave off work! it feels damn shiok and exciting to take leave. haha. prolly cos its my first official leave which i took. LOL.
met tiffy later tht to day watch DEFIANCE. yeah DANIEL CRAIG (: we were all in rush cos it was kinda last min. initially we agreed on changeling at ps. bt somehow we were still deciding, then in the end we realised we wont be able to make it in time to catch the movie cos we were all still home. so last min switch to defiance, which was still a rush thou. lol. had to wait for tiffy to buy tic cos STUDENT PASS is $6. hoho. yea so think we were like 5 min late for the movie. but nvm, i think its a pretty nice movie. i dno, i just have a thing for war movies.
so it was about during the Hitler times, where the jews were condemned. There was this group of people, called the Belskis, who fled and hid to live in the forests, and whenever Germans found them, the whole group would run, taking only weapons and ammunitions, while some of the men would stay to fight off the Germans to allow the rest of their fellow Jews to cover more grounds. So it goes on to show how these 3 brothers overcome difficulties and obstacles to lead the Jews, to keep the community alive, to provide for them, to protect them. There was this time when they came to desperation as German planes drop bombs over the forest, so they fled until a point where it was the waters. It's either the walk across the waters, or stay there to fight. Knowing tht it was impossible to fight the Germans, and quite impossible to cross the waters cos its quite deep actually, the leader actually was at a loss of wht to do, he really didnt know wht to do. Until the other brother came back and said: ''Moses is not going to part the waters for us, but we can all do this together. The men will carry the children on their backs, and the strong will support the weak." so he gathered all the people's belts and stuff and linked them tgt, and hand in hand, they all crossed the waters to the other side of the land, and yes they all did it. I was just simply amazed by this scene.
Apparently this is a true story. The Belskis lived in the forests for another 2 years, and despite people dying frm the fighting, frm sickeness and harsh living conditions, their numbers grew. Sadly one of the brothers didnt live to see his child, while the other 2 started a business and continued for another 30 yrs. These are people with a dream, a vision, hope and faith. Thats why they succeed. Worth the time and money (:
Flipping thru the papers everyday, seeing news of firms, big & small, in all sorts of industries, all facing financial crsis, retrenchment, losing billions and billions. This is really depressing and sometimes it really makes you wonder, what is the world coming to? what is the world becoming of? I once heard someome say tht such financial crisis comes once every 10 yrs, which is kinda true i guess. theres 1998 Asian financial crisis and 1987 Global financial crisis, and now, theres another global financial crisis. So prolly its just a cycle thing in which nature takes its course? haa. i really dont know.
anw i have some plans for the rest of the hols:
- screwtape letters on 27feb
- disney princess on ice on 13mar(tentative)
- mission trip to thai in mid mar
- 30mar-8apr HongKong (: (book tic alr at sale fare!)
- church retreat to msia in june
- aus if i still have time and money (hoho)
yes its getting bloody exciting. LOL! at least now i have smth to look forward in the midst of boring working life. wheeeee! i hope this sat all the boys will be out, cos its VALENTINES yo. hmmm...which one shld i pick? HOHO! but peanuts will be out for sure! and i still owe him a beanie! anw i wanna catch benjamin buttons!
hoho anw ytd i topped up my ezlink at 7-11 cos im no where near an mrt. so i wanted to top up $20 but they charge 50cents for the service so $20.50. but i only have $20, so i say then just top up $10. then this morn when i took the bus i realise the value was $29.95. hoho. so i knew the person must have forgotten to cancel the previous $20 top up transaction. so now theres near $30 when i only paid $10. damn shiok. lol. bt anw i couldnt do anything now right when the value is alr added in. well well, JUST MY LUCK. haha (:
