I'm currently on the story [The Horse and His Boy]. It's actually the third book of [The Chronicles of Narnia]. AS you can see, I'm rather addicted to the story, having watched the movie more than once and reading each chronicle.
Anyway, my whole family went over to JB today just to buy stuff. Walked around a mall for a couple of hours plus, picking clothes off their racks and trying them on. In the end, all I got was a polo t-shirt. So crappy. By the time we got to [Depot Walk], it was about 4:30pm.
Played games there as usual. Quite a few new people today. I don't know all of them so I won't list any names, so as not to show "biasness"(Is there such a word?). What was unusal about today was that we had a barbecue after the games. It's quite a nice experience catching up with old friends over a nice barbecue meal. Haha..
Having a job assignment tomorrow at Jurong. But this time, there'll be one more person so I guess we're going to have less money to share among ourselves. *boo..* Sianed..

Whoa.. It's tuesday already?! The year really is ending very quickly. Just a few more days and BAM! 2006 is here. But let's not go into that for now.
Brief summary of what happened on Sunday and Monday.
Sunday: Christmas! I wish I say that I am as enthusiastic as I sound. But I'd be lying to say I was. Christmas just somehow didn't seem much of a big deal this year. Sure, there were giving and recieving presents here and there, everyone wishing each other [Blessed Christmas]. *sigh* What's happening to me?
Monday: Day after Christmas. The day of opening presents and hearing the squeals of joy from little children when they get what they want. Again, not so enthusiastic. Went to Sherman's house in the afternoon. Had abit of lunch and hung out awhile. Then at night, the whole group of us went to watch [Narnia]. Yes. Again. Can't help it. It's such a nice show. Haha.. Besides, I'm not the one paying for the tickets=]
Tuesday aka. today: Played soccer at 11 the morning. Once again proving to the world how crappy I am at the game. Couldn't even defend for nuts. Maybe I'll just quit soccer altogether.
After soccer, we went for lunch at the nearby hawker centre. Now I'll know where to go to get a nice bowl of [BanMian].
After lunch we went over to Sean's house for a swim. Soon it began to pour and we managed to make our way opposite to Bryan's for a sauna session. Haha.. Our bags were drenched on the way. After the rain stopped, each of us made our ways home. Wesley went by taxi, Jordan by MRT, Reuben and I by bus. Bus was so, freaking slow. Together with the super cold air-con, we almost fell asleep.
Wondering about quite alot of things now. Wondering what "fun" activities am I going to do tomorrow; wondering if I should play games on Thursday; wondering where you are; wondering what school would be like as a [Senior].. The list goes on.

Wow.. Christmas is just tomorrow! I guess to many people, it's a time for recieving gifts, exchanging greetings and, rather important to many children, the company of some fellow by the name of [Santa Claus].
Not to me. Of course exchanging presents is fun and all, but we do still have to remember the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas is an important turning point for the whole of Mankind. For many many years, the Jews have been waiting for the long awaited [Messiah] that would supposedly liberate them from the Roman rule. Yet when the [Messiah] came, they rejected Him and sent Him to die. So I guess Christmas does have a sad twist to it.
Somehow, I am ashamed to say that this year I haven't been very enthusiastic about this festive season. I don't know what it is but many things don't seem important to me anymore. Even my birthday; doesn't seem like a big deal. Just another day to live through. I really hope I am not cultivating a apathetic attitude in myself. Not much can be done about this. I think I'll just try to forget about it altogether.
Helped out at [Children's Corner] today. Acted together with Amos, Nathanael and Wesley. I was a ******. Won't say it here. You'll have to ask me personally. But I guess many people know already. After that we went up just in time to finish singing at YP. Then we were divided into four groups and played some kind of kicking game among each group. Quite dumb but yet, it was fun. Haha..
After that each BS group sent their own members to share about the past year. RenAn and I went up lor.. He wrote a poem seh.. So pro right? I just went up and shared on a preparation of about 10min. So you could guess that I didn't do very well=P Hearing all the people that shared reaaly caused me to give thanks to [the Lord]. He has brought me through thus far till I'm at the threshold of the [great battle] that lies ahead. I'm sure He will carry me through.
The Christmas Eve service was at night. It started off with some singing then came the choir. They were magnificent. They sang so beautifully. Not being sarcastic here. I'm serious. The message? Erm.. You could say it was not as interesting to me as the choir presentation. But hey, thats just me.
I'll end here. Got to sleep. Have to wake up early tomorrow. Going to have to drink lots of water too. Getting rather [heaty]. Heard that? Drink water!

Don't think I'll be able to blog later so here I am now.
Went to watch [The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe] today. Met up with Jordan at the food court before the movie. He brought his friend from ~ACSI~. That guy is quite ok lah.. Abit drama but otherwise not bad. Then the girls started coming and we went in to watch.
The show's really good. Absolutely have to go and watch it. Alot of biblical references. [Aslan] rocked man. Damn cool. If you don't know who he is, go watch the show and find out for yourself. Griffins and Centaurs were also very cool. Lots of mythical characters in the show. Coolest guy still is [Mr Tumnus]. Haha.. But the best weapon had to be the [White Witch]'s staff. Whooo... Super nasty..
Really loved the show. Full of excitement. I'm going to get my hands on the soundtrack.
I'll stop here. Should be going to Uncle Simon's house for dinner later. Happy 23rd..

Game's day at Depot Walk. Uncle Andrew shared with us a meaningful parable today. It’s the parable of the [Host’s Great Banquet] and how many people made up LAME excuses to absent themselves. Really reminds me how privileged I am to be invited and of my responsibility to get people from the "roadsides" and "highways" to come to this Grand Dinner.
Bball was after the message. I can’t play bball for nuts and so Sean and I went down to get something to eat. We went and got ourselves 2 plates of hor fun. Haha.. We would have gone for a third helping if not for the fact that it had ran out. So, sorry people if you didn't get any.
Soccer was next and as usual, I got thrashed, even with the rest of my team doing so much work. I won't tell the score. It's too embarrassing. I've really got to conquer my fear of the [BALL].
After that, we played captain's ball. It was the boys versus the girls. Of course, they had the adults on their side. It really wouldn't be an equal game without them. By then, the slight drizzle had grown a "little" bit heavier and within minutes, we were all drenched in rainwater and sweat, running around with wet shoes and soggy socks.
Going to watch a movie tomorrow. [The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe]. Should be a nice show.
