October

Summary of October

Few significant events that I can remember.

1st October
Went to Heeren, at the used-to-be Marche restaurant. Now is is called Village. Hao Jie also went with me to have our dinner.
Here is the Beer, one of the alcoholic drinks I would recommend. Erdinger Beer. Try the light one, although I am having the Dark one. If you can get hold onto an Erdinger Crystal, that would be the best!

4th October
Kok Boon's got married! Our dear colleague (my chauffeur). He had held the event at Armaran Country Club at Pasir Ris. Not much pictures here because I am not the one who did the photogragh taking that night. Well, Seng was there with his trusty Ixus, and there is always the hired photographer! I only took a pic of someone putting on a Ultraman Helmet, kinda made her looked like that superhero...

Then I took a cab with Elaine, sent her home first before meeting my JC budds at Serangoon Garden, at a place called Happy Dazes Retro Bistro. It really is happy daze there. Played card, won some lost some.Altogether there were 4 of us. Aloy, Andy, Xue Qian and myself. So after that, the 4 curious boys spotted a dart machine there and decided to try our skills at throwing things.

The teams, 1 comprising of Andy and Xue Qian, 2 comprising of Aloy and me, ties at 2 games out of 4. Good throw.

7th October
My Birthday! I took leave. There was this class outing that night @ Plaza Singapura. Russ, Dan, Val, WeiJian, YongYi, Gabriel, Erienne, YunXuan, Rena were there. I might have missed out someone. Sorry about that, I'm not a supercomputer, can't recall everything. Well I was thinking if anyone could remember that it was my birthday. I had initially decided to keep quiet to see. Actually most of them remembered. Val bought a cake, well, it's a piece of cake for me with a candle on top.



Then we wen to watch the movie "scoop" as it was the only movie that weekend night that had enough seats for all of us.

13th October
I believed it was a Friday. HaoJie and I met Joel for a movie at Plaza Singapura again. The Departed. I have not watched the original story prior to that day. The original story is actually Hong Kong's Infernal Affairs. Joel suggested that we go for it as he had expected it to be a good show. I ended up liking the show quite a lot. Next is dinner time, we lingered around town and finally went down to citilink at City Hall. We had dinner at this Asian Kitchen place at the corner next to Thai express. As both HaoJie and me cannot make it for Saturday's 1724 Bible study, Joel thought that he might as well give us the lesson that night since we are at it. We were actually "watching the preview show" Haha. Then we moved over to Esplanade to continue to lesson as not to hogged onto the seats at the restaurant.

17th October
ORD Medical Chcekup. I was kena sabotaged to be the van driver to send my fellow NServicemen to Old Police Academy for the checkup. They just wanted someone who can drive and my dear friend SK volunteered me. Haha... becuase I have driven van before.
My medical shows that I am normal, meaning that I will be in the same Pess status (B) as when I entered NS.
After the Checkup, Sk, Louis and YongChuen decided that we shold catch a movie at the new VivoCity after lunching at DHQ.
MAN, the seats was big, huge. But i felt that it was not the best scorer in the comfortable test. It was far too hard and the seats are too straignt up, it seems like you are seated in a 90º position. We watched "Silk". It is supposed to be a horror film, but I thought that it becamae a science fiction film instead.
We took a walk at the building. Guess who we saw, I did not know her name, but she is the WPO trainee who was in training at the same time as us in TRACOM when were in NPCO course. I think you might remember her better as the better looking girl in her squad. Haha. There was not many to start with, so it should be easy to narrow down to who she is.


21st October
I attended a Worship training at Church

24th October
We had this DIY pizza buffet + Kong Ba Pau lunch at Joel's. It was really a great lunch. We mixed all sorts of ingredients onto the pizza dough and then chuck it one side into the oven for it to bake.
Then it was bible study by Joel. As it was my 1st off day. They sais that I looked so stoned. Thus this might explain the fact that I really did not get the lesson on the spot. I cannot really comprehend what Joel was trying to tell the class althogh I can remember what he said.
After class, we played card game "Loot" and then board game "Monopoly". Guess who was the richest. Me, of course. It was how I was saying, "little by little, it will generate into bigger wealth" heehee. I was like buying all the cheap land and utilities, which whenever, I would only collect $4 or $6. But then I was able to build Hotels on my lands all at a turn. It turned out that I will be collecting $660. Then in the end, all the others combined forces to play against me. Due to time constrain, we ended the game before we have a rightful winner.

27th October
Hao Jie and I went to Marina Bay to fly kite. It was my first time to try this activity. Well, it really is worth my try. We bought a $2.50 kite initially. Seeing how easily HJ flew the kite,

he still can use his phone, I then went back to the uncle to buy another one.
With the same ease, the kite flew up high too.

28th October
I have to attend a Church Retreat Meeting. It was a full day event comprising of a workshop, lunch, sermon, fellowship and dinner. It was conducted at my friend's (han Wei) condo's MPH.
After that I took a walk with my friends (Han Ying, Min Hui) and her mother(Han Mama) .

It's Halloween Season!!

I think between 25th to 28th I went to Compasspoint wanting to get a phone, but to no avail. Instead we (family) bought a DVD player instead because I had hilighted to my pop that the player at home will have jerky images when showing DVD films. I thus rented some DVD to watch and found that it had the same problem as the previous player. So we went back on 28th with the DVD and the player wanting to get a change. But we found out that those rented discs might have been pirated disc. Well.....

In the end i trusted the Courts Salesman and did not change the palyer since the problems are the discs. I think I should start looking for new DVD rental places.

31st October
Work Work!!

Confession

Confession: It has been a long time since I have bible study session that awed me.

It is a ego thing, I know, and I know that it is wrong. But what is it. Is that the thing that will strike me when attending a good bible study session?

Then I can say that it has really been a long time since this thing hit me. Would I want to consider this thing the Holy Spirit. Who is the one inside me, telling me what is the Good, what is the Bad?

Or is the Holy Spirit only starting work recently? Then it might be considered a very sad thing; needing such long a time to warm up.

Hell with it! (Oops) These few times are good Bible Study sesions.

Why have I not gotten so inspired before after other Bible Study sessions. I learnt and picked up a lot from the recent sessions. I have discovered and made relisations that have never crossed my mind. Somehow my curious mind was satisfied.

Last time I only know that Jesus appearence is supposed to fulfil these prophecies, and now I explicitly know which action he did caused the great revolution among Believers. How exactly parts of the Old Testament linked to the New Testament.

Last time, I only take what was presented to me as it was. Now what I have experienced is that I know why it was like. Roses are red. Violets are blue? It is like that people just accept that red rose is red in colour. But do you know that white light is the light that is shone onto the red rose, and that the other 6 colours are being absorbed, thus only the red is being reflected. That is why our eyes detected this red so the rose appear red. Technically, the rose is not red; it only reflets red light. Christians should have fellowship. People accepts this fact. One can also believe in God, and not to go to Church. He is still a Christian because he is saved, isn't he? Well, fellowship, is made for man to stay close to God. For man to stay solo, it is against God's plan. The church should act as one body as Jesus have always taught. To love and to care about people around you will show that our love comes from God. Our love is limited; God's love is limitless. It is impossible to love everyone around us, unless we are powered by God's love. Coming together as a Body reminds one another of what we are, and that we need God's Love.
We are God's Children and He have us in his mind when we are still formless. You can try to not go Church, but you just remember that you do not answer to the pastor, your church leader, your guardian angel, your buddy, not even your father or mother. You will not face them during the Judgement.

I really hope that such Bible studies sessions are frequent scenes in my life.

Now that I've waited. I might have the chance to know how to prepare and lead a good Bible Study session.

Just pray that We will all get it.
