Thanks
I give thanks
Not only for
What I have
But also for
What I will
Soon come
To find.

I give thanks
For trials
And tribulations
That have to
Be overcome.

I give thanks
For the test
That must
Be passed.

I give thanks
For happiness
And pain.
No matter the
Emotion - I
Give thanks
Just the same.

i am hungry.

i had a really great Saturday today, despite having to stay in for guard duty on Friday night, when all the rest were booking out. i realised that i get really cranky when i'm not allowed to book out, and woe betide the poor soul who dares suan me for that. some lines are not meant to be crossed. which is why i get so pissed when our book out times are messed with. i don't think it's right to change book out timings or use it to threathen people into submission, nor should it be dangled as a carrot to get us to do things faster. booking out is a fundamental right of any NSF who has not done anything to warrant punishment. therefore, it should not be trampled upon or tampered with.

the day sorta started with guard duty, but let's start the day from the time i booked out from camp. a quick cab ride back to bedok interchange with zhi jian, edmund and darren, and we ended up eating this awesome kway chap from the bedok inter hawker centre. i wasn't so crazy about the small or large intestines, (i feel the bishan s-11 one has heavenly small intestines), nor the lack of fishcake and, (more importantly) pig skin in the dish, but the pork belly really won me over. it was tender without being soft and really cooked very skillfully. after which, i went home to good home-cooked porridge and steam fish. i really enjoyed that.

went to church in the afternoon and it was the first time we were gathering in our newly-formed life groups, after multiplying to eight from four. the growth is exciting, and once again i found myself helming a life group. the dynamic was quite different from the last time leading sui generis. admittedly, the pressure of leading a life group has returned, after a half-year sojurn being under derek with O2. will we succeed? will we bond well as a life group? will the people listen to me? how will i be able to earn their respect? these are questions i think really bother me. nevertheless, the first session went really well. with fewer people, there were more opportunities to talk, people felt more comfortable with each other i guess, and there was more personal interaction. these are positive signs, but improvement can surely be made.

after youth i went down to city hall to meet up with boon kai and chin meng. it had been a long time since i met up with the two of them, or any of the council peeps for that matter. trouble was, i was having this terrible headache that made me want to go home after dinner, but thank God it cleared during dinner and we went on to watch 500 Days of Summer. i was really glad i got to watch that show because i really enjoyed the way they told the story. it wasn't the typical chronological narrative style. the whole story was really very well-written and beautifully presented. the plot was nothing to crow about, but it was really the presentation that brought out the beauty of the show. although i cannot relate to the characters, what with the falling in love, breaking up and falling in love again, the way the movie was presented really drew me in and made me want to follow what was happening. contrast this with Surrogates, which i watched on Monday, it was quite a difference, Surrogates just being a normal action thriller with hardly any twists or deviation from the standard thriller-type movie.

have service again tomorrow. i will be usher for tomorrow, so have to get myself ready. am really sleepy due to guard duty.

isn't kelly clarkson just awesome?
