Narnia. I wanna get the books!!!

I have watched Narnia with Abel (finally!) on Monday. It was a movie treat from Abel. I so much wanted to watch the movie. Thanks Abel!
It was such a great show! Can literally see the bible coming out of the whole story.

Or should I say it resembles the four Gospels to be more precise.

Ok, the obvious.
The witch = Satan.
Aslan the Lion = Jesus the King.
Aslan dying for the treachery of Edmund = Jesus dying on the cross for humanity.
Aslan coming back to life = Jesus' resurection.
Aslan killing the witch = Jesus defeating Satan.

How about,
Edmund betraying the righteous for sweets = Iscariot's betraying Jesus for 30 silver?
Lucy being the youngest and the most positive and believing = the childlike faith Jesus always talks about?
Aslan welcoming the treacherous Edmund into the camp and asking everyone not to bring out the past again = Jesus saving the adulteress and asking her not to sin again?
Susan and Lucy crying beside the dead Aslan = the mourning of the women when Jesus died on the cross?
Susan and Lucy being the first to see the resurected Aslan = the women being the first to see the resurected Jesus?
The four different personalities of the silblings and the different kind of tools given to them to fight one common battle = the church making up of people with different background and given different gift from God all gathering for one common purpose?
The splitting of the stone table signifying the breaking of tradition = the splitting of the veil in the temple?

Also, did anyone notice the character of Peter is so much like the biblical Apostle Peter? Someone who is a leader and also talk real big? And when given the responsibilty to lead the whole army, he found himself lacking confidence and need Aslan to keep encouraging him? Just like how Jesus have to keep reassuring Apostle Peter that he was called to lead the church. Read Gospel of John 21: 20-25.

There's definitely more shadows of the bible in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Anyway, after saying so much, I just wanna say,
I WANNA GET THE WHOLE SERIES OF THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA!!! Hahaha!
I shall just add that to my wishlist. :) God is Good.

Christmas 2005.

Just wanna say a belated MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone. Hahaha!

This year, celebrated Christmas with Brother Meng Chin's members who are really fun and outgoing. Having a CG merger isn't so bad after all. Later, I ended the day having a party at Briony's place together with Cinthia. Hahaha. Also wanna thank everyone who had blessed me something for Christmas and the whole year.

Time to update my wishlist. To date, I have:

1.) 8 new clothes since the past 3 months.
2.) 8 watches altogether.
3.) 2 pairs of leather shoes.
4.) 2 pairs of sandals.
5.) 2 pairs of running shoes.
6.) 1 pair of boots.
7.) 1 pair of leather sneakers.
8.) 1 large buckle belt.

Talk about vanities. Hahaha.

So what I do intend to get within a the next 3 months is...

1.) A new large buckle belt I saw at Bugis Village. Cost: $30++
2.) A leather Billabong wallet with coin compartment I saw recently at The Wallet Shop. Cost: $30++
3.) More new clothes! Cost: $64848465164984+++
p.s. I hope the things I saw don't go out of stock before I get them...

Reason:

1.) I can't be wearing the same belt all the time.
2.) My current wallet is falling apart. :'(
3.) I don't want people to guess what I will be wearing.

Talk about vanities. Hahaha.

So to cut the story short, let the photos do the talking.

Candlelight service on 18/12/2005.

Our 1st ever candlelight service in CHC!



My new CG, W372. :)



A photo I took during fellowship at Bugis Village. Have half the mind to get this watch for someone as a Christmas Gift. :p


Christmas Celebration! 25/12/2005



The stage props for the Chirstmas drama. (The drama ended with pyrotechnics! Cool!)



Kay taking photos with his digital camera. How I wish I have a digital camera too!



These are wounds you get for sitting next to a crazy member when playing crazy surf.



This is me and the crazy member, Peishan. Ok lah, she's a nice girl. Hahaha. 25th Dec happen to be her birthday too. :)


Sending Sjeting Off. 26/12/2005




The ITE team that is leaving for India for community work.
A photo I took with Sjeting before she board the plane. Going to miss her. :'( I will pray for her safety.




A dejected Kay on the way home on MRT, who will miss the punches and kicks of Sjeting. Don't worry, she will be back on the 10/01/2006. Hahaha.


All in all, the year end well. God is Good. :)

Langundo Up!!!

Ok. As I had said I will wanna start writing a fiction story, I have done SO!!! Do visit and read Langundo. :) The story will keep getting updated weekly if possible. Each post will be a new chapter in the story.

As for today... Nothing much happens except that I went down to Orchard to get one more Christmas present at 11am. Never knew I would find a suitable present so fast thou. Since I have nothing else to do, I went to report for duty at CDC at 12.15pm!!! I was suppose to start work at 1pm. Hahaha.

My ward was haing a ward party today. So much nice food to eat! I indulged on the roast duck. Hahaha. Anyway, there was so much food that I need not even buy anything for lunch and dinner. Save money. :p

The staff nurse in charge today was pretty strict. Although she is not very senior and she only being working for about a year plus, she is very serious in her work and keep very close observation on us, the students. This kept me on my toes and it wasn't so boring after all. Hahaha.

Perhaps I can only work under stress. Or perhaps, I love to love what I am doing only when under pressure. Or I kinda like being ordered around by young pretty nurses. Anyway, I hope I do not fail anyone's expectation, especially the patient who look to us for treatment and comfort.

God is Good.

Runs for the 3rd day.

Just when I thought everything is over, I shit 3 times today. Last 2 times watery. Argh!!! And the whole afternoon, my stomach's rumbling and growling. It's not painful, just slightly uncomfortable. When will this ever stop. Haiz...

Anyway, attachment at CDC is boring as usual. However, we were allowed to join a Christmas lunch party today. Ate turkey (believe it or not, this is the 1st time I actually get to cut a turket and eat it), Christmas pudding and many nice food. Yummy! Spent one whole hour at the party. Kinda nice way to pass time in a boring attachment. Hahaha.

I happened to read a book on infectious diseases in my ward today. It was such an informative book, the details of every disease was well presented and very straight to the point. I so wanted to get my hands on this book that I went to ask sister if I could get a copy of it. However, the book was published by MOH and only distributed to hospitals. Oh wells...

I happen to saw a very cool leather watch at City Chain, Novena Square today. The brand's SMASH and it cost $129. They are having an offer that if you get 2 watches, you will get an overall 30% discount off the total price!!! Since it is so long since I pampered myself, I went back after attachment at around 9.15pm and bought the watch plus another watch which I intended as a gift. Hehehe.

I decided that tomorrow before work, I gonna make one more last minute shopping at Orchard at around 11am. I am finally glad for once that CDC is near Orchard and there's a direct bus. Hahaha. God is Good. :)

If time (and brain) permits, I gonna start another blog soon. It will be a story that I so wanted to write. I have yet to think of the title but I have an idea what I wanna write already. So I will try to write every post chapter by chapter and I hope it will bring out some excitement among the readers. :)

Not so boring today. a small shock.

Oh wells... attachment at CDC is still just as boring. But I am reaching out to my fellow students and one of them is considering to come for Christmas Service this Sunday!!!

Briony called and asked if there's bible study today. We were quite confused but I remembered the bible study teacher said there will not be bible study this week so I told her no.

However, Briony called again and said her CGL said there's bible study today!!! I was pretty shock and I quickly went to sms my leader to ask him. He later called and asked me who was the teacher who said there is no bible study this week... I hope I didn't get that teacher into trouble...

OK. Before bible study, I went to shop for Christmas gift on my own. Went on a shopping spree after I found out that I got my pay today. Hahaha. I also bought 2 new tees from Samuel & Kevin at 2 for $22! (One for myself and one for a friend.) Cheap cheap. Hahaha.

So sad thou, I couldn't find the long sleeve, laced collar maroon tee that I like at Plaza Singapura and Orchard Samuel & Kevin... It's selling at $24 after discount I think... I saw it at the Suntec Outlet last week but didn't have the money to get it. Hope it isn't out of stock... really wanna get a long sleeve tee cuz I already have a long of short sleeve tees. No time to shop for this week anymore. Oh wells...

After bible study, I went to shop with Briony to get more gifts for friends. Briony was on a beverage fast so I made sure we have something to drink before we leave for home.

Peishan also called me to ask about guitar lesson today. So happy that she is excited to learn guitar. Hahaha. Probably will meet her this Saturday to teach her. She just Got her first handphone last night, a LG G262!!! It cost $300++ with contract! It even have a 1.3 megapix camera. WOW! Hahaha. I still remember my first phone is a Nokia 3210. That's 6 years back I think. Hahaha. Also happen to find out her birthday is on the 25th DEC!!! A Christmas baby!

Later talked to Cinthia. She just came back from her camp and I was pretty happy to hear her again, thou she is a little tired. She shared quite a lot about her camp and it sounded pretty fun. Except for a few spoilers "Air" level students from Allied Health who think they very smart. All in all, I am glad she enjoyed herself in this camp. :)

As for me... still not feeling so well with my tummy. It seems ok this morning but it started to rumble in the afternoon. But I think I am better compare to yesterday. I only shit once today, with watery stools while I shited 4 times yesterday. God is good.

Dying of Boredom

I wonder what did I eat. Had diarrhea the whole day. Was forced to take medication and thus have to end my 24 hours fast, but still, I manage a 12 hours fast. Hope I get better tomorrow.

Anyway, the posting to CDC is so BORING! There is literally nothing much to do, unlike the busy hospital. Most of the patients in CDC are pretty independent.

Since CDC is meant to isolate communicable dieases, most of the beds are also empty. (It will only be busy if there is an outbreak. The recent dengue outbreak is ending.) Me and another student literally spent 3/4 of our shift sitting around, chatting, reading case notes, reading the newspaper... and it is just so difficult to past time!!!

Ok. 1 and a half more weeks to go. Thank goodness we will only be attached to CDC for 2 weeks throughout the 3 years of our course.

By the way, I just undated BBC UNreal! yesterday. I also updated my wishlist on the sidebar. :)

Disappointment to Depression.

Just wanna share what Pastor talked about on Sunday:

A person can progress from disappointment to distress to doubt to depression. I can literally see that in myself. It all happened for nearly one whole year before it progress to depression the past two weeks.

First of all, cell group wasn't doing well and I somehow thought I shouldn't say about such things nor concern to anyone because I thought that's wrong. I was in denial and spoke about cell group as if "everything's fine".

Finally, Two weeks ago, I told Irene everything and start to "discipline" my members. However, I kinda doubt if telling the truth will help, what if more members backslide?

I then become a jerk and start getting piss off at the slightlest "mistakes" my friends did. I wanna take the opportunity to say sorry once again to all whom I have offended over these past few months of my raging anger and distress.

So to say just last week, I seems to lose everything. My CG will merge and will no longer exist. My ministry as a CG guitarist will also cease... I lost the passion to serve in any minisrty, even to learn the guitar...

However, Pastor really preach a word in season into my life and I realise that even the man of God can fall into depression, much less I! So knowing that it is nothing to be ashamed of, I pick myself up once again and found God strengthening my spirit. God is good.

It turn out the merger wasn't so bad after all. The CG that we merge had very out-going members who love to fellowship. They are also very active in their spiritual life and reaching out to the lost. Perhaps, my members can finally have a new lease of life in their walk with God. God is good.

So with the new year, I am glad that I decided not to end the year with depression. (YES! I believe it is a decision to be happy.)

I pray and hope that a certain friend of mine may also overcome all the blues this friend have for this year. May this friend find joy once again in the fellowship with believers and a rekindled passion to serve God even more.

So to kick off the new year, I also did some tinking to my blog. Hahaha. The most obvious is the removal of comments and the addition of a CBox! Be sure to tag!!! Feel free to comment on any of my post on the CBox too. OR, you can simply tag for fun or to make reminders on the CBox. Dun limit yourself if God doesn't limit you. Hahaha.
