Politically Correct in a Crazy World

Instead of celebrating Christmas on the 25th,we celebrate on the boxing day instead.

It was a day filled with turkey and log cake(etc...) in the afternoon and home-cooked dinner at night.

2 days ago,our department had a Christmas feast inside our workplace.Because our department consist of less than 15 people,eating a small turkey is not a big problem for us.In fact,we only managed to finish 1/2 of its meat.

Sweet log cake.Eating a small portion of it increases my weight by another 100g.What a health conscious me.

After work,I rushed down to Yunn's house for dinner.The sky was raining heavily on my journey to her place,it took me almost 1 hour to reach there.When I arrived at her house,my leather shoes were all wet.

Basically it was a dinner with the former youth,minus the girls side,invited by Yisheng and Yunn.To me,it was a mass gathering of the former TANS,plus Richard and Kelvin Lims' girlfriend,minus William and Jiemin.Anyway by a simple mass gathering dinner,we can see for ourselves who is attached and who has not.

The dinner was simple,yet it's a wonderful one.It kind of warm when a group of people squeeze together round a table in a cold weather right now.

However,what matter most for me will be the fellowshipping.If I'm not wrong,it's been ages since we gather around a small table talking cock singing songs.It's not the usual "different group different activities" which I've been experiencing for 3 years plus.It's not just a groups of 3-4 people talking among themselves.But it's a simple yet an enjoyable chit chatting session.

Our topics goes from church stuff which eventually link to people selling insurance.It's funny how we link from topic to topic during our conversation,and I enjoy the fellowship very much.

Just another 3 more days to the new year.I would like to thank God for all the former TIPians and adults who were still around in church(though some may have left to other churches as well).Without their constant encouragement,I would have been backslided and left.

I thank God for my Pastors,especially Pastor Geoffery and Bee Tin,who has not gave up on me,guiding me to seek a correct direction in life.

I thank God for my HGC,Yunn my HGC leader,Sandra who has been my dinner partner every week,Pamela,Yanyi,You Seng and Thomas who has been a caring brothers and sisters,Chee Moon for her education tips and yes,the list goes on and on.

I thank God for Yan Liang,Ming Keat and Kelvin Lee,for our weekly outing almost every Saturday.Thank you Ming Keat and Kelvin Lee once again that you have shared my strength and weakness in which I did not really know.

I thank God for William that he's still around with me.Many a times I may have rejected your gay outings every week,but I want to say that I enjoy the outings actually.

I thank God for providing me a new job.The old jobs are either low-paid or no-paid.But the current job has a decent pay.

I thank God for the peace that smoothen me when I feel depressed.It's the prayer that keeps me going.

And finally thank everyone for reading my blog.The value on the statcounter doesn't really matters me much anyway.It kinda surprised that people whom I think will not read my blog actually reads it.Just keep my tagboard flood will ya?

This is a video "Here it goes again" by Ok Go.It's kind of witty when they used the treadmills in their dance.Simply love the creativity and skilled performance.This shows that treadmill is not just an ordinary jogging machine.

This is the second MTV I've watched without the movement of the video camera.The 1st MTV is "Hikari" by Utada Hikaru.


Hey wait?There's even a parody to it!

What a day to spend my Christmas day by spending the whole day slacking at home.Nobody called me for any outing,called William but he's only free until dinner time.

I believe everybody here is too exhausted for any celebration right now,especially for the youths,who have been going for 2 chalet,lots of Christmas rehearsal,overnight Christmas celebration and their performance on Friday and Sunday.Respect for the youths!

There are more people attending the Sunday service than the Friday one.Maybe because Friday is a working day and everybody is tired to attend the service.For me I feel that the way of splitting into 2 church services is rather confusing.

Okay,let's proceed with photos taken on Friday and Sunday.

Friday Service

Believe it or not,the song is compose by one of our youths.Impressive indeed!









After the service,we went to Plaza Singapura to catch a movie "The Holiday".



It a romance comedy about 2 girls of different countries,after been struck down by their love life,decided to exchange house with one another for 2 week.During their stay at the exchanged house,they found new love.

The stories are beautiful and I love how they wickedly do a "trailer scene" on Cameron Diaz.However I can't get used to Jack Black doing a romance movie.I prefer his comedy instead.

Overall,I give 8 out of 10 for the movie.The only thing you must be prepared when you watch this movie is its duration.It's a 2.5 hours of romance.

Sunday Service

As I mentioned on my previous post,I was told to be an angel during the last minute.Anyway,seems like I'm the only potential candidate here.


I was rather screwed when we went out together and sing.I have absolute 0 rehearsal and I don't know where I should stand.I even had to lip-sync a one-liner that we need to shout out.Hope they didn't notice me making a blooper.


After that we went to Turquoise Room for Brunch.Man am I so hungry after skipping my breakfast.

This is my second time coming to this place.As usual,the ambiance is still as good as it seems.

Before the meal,we had a short game "pass the present" by Richard.Until now I still can't figure how to close the present.Grrr....

Our food is served.The food is not bad,and the huge prawns in my pasta are juicy and fresh.Other than that,due to my sickness on that day,I can't do a better review on the food.





This little fella's movement is too past for me to capture.I dare not use the flash ability because I may shocked the cockatoo.





Stay tune tomorrow for boxing day!



And I hate working tomorrow!

After 2 days of celebrations in church,I'm started falling sick due to lack of sleep and a major flu.Looks like my immune system has went down alot,I gotta eat more vitamin pills and exercise more.

However,when I look at how the weather works,it's so hard to go for jogging and swimming regime right now.

Christmas celebration is wonderful.I've took quite alot of photos and yes,I was asked by Pastor Bee Tin to be an angel,last minute but not a sudden one.Oh well,actually I'm happy to get an act as an angel.

I have received alot of gifts,but the number of cards I received has dropped.The number of chocolates and sweets and cookies I've received increase instead.

Okay Wei Liang,don't complain.Be happy of what you've received.It's better to give then to receive,right?

Alright,I gotta post in some picture that I've took last Thursday till now,or else I won't have the time to do it tomorrow,as there's a Friday Christmas service on that day.

Took 2 days leave for Liyun's chalet.I was much more prepared than last year in regards to clothings and toiletries.I still remember last year I was here with t-shirt and jeans and the feeling wasn't so right.

As usual,we played a game of mahjong there.Despite of them being so tired after an overnight game,I'm still can't win them!Out of 20 matches,I managed to win once.I should have shook Liyun's(birthday girl) hand,them I will have all the "Qi" to win.

They said "A blooming flower at the age of 18".She's definitely became more beautiful than last time.




In the end,we had to cut the cake with a chopper!

I just wonder how did the staff in Swenson cut the ice-cream cake?

Rushed down to my HGC for our Christmas celebration.There's one new comer brought by Chee Moon.She seems to enjoy herself very much.


We had a short practice of Christmas carol before we went to Mark and Lay Khey's house followed by Xiao Hui's house.

After 10 minutes of practice,off we go!1st stop:Mark and Lay Khey's place.

We had a game of spot the different,where 2 person will go into a room to make 4 changes on themselves and another person will be called out to be the detectives trying to spot their different.





2nd stop: Xiao Hui's place.

We get to see Xiao Hui's new born baby.Camera phone was used due to the flash used in digital camera.


Like what we did previously,we sang some Christmas song at her place.The whole family seems to love it.


Last stop:Back to Mark and Lay Khey's place.




16/12/2006

Going to Vivocity with Liping,Yiru and Eunice.Finally I'm out with the girls instead of the guys.No more sausages party!



We get to invite the one taking our photo to come for our Friday service,together with her friend.Hope they'll be able to make it.

17/12/2006

A short practice of Christmas rehearsal.I was here to help out in making a bigger wings for "Angel Gabriel".





Due to rush of time,Xiujuan and I had to do the wings and get it all done by tomorrow.We took 2 hour plus at KFC cutting and pasting crepe paper on the cardboard.Many eyes were on us wondering what the heck are we doing.Thanks God our photo was not taken and send it to Stomp.



18/12/2006

Heavy rain from Heaven that almost cost our effort to go down the drain.The wings are still alright,but the heavy rain simply demoralize me.

19/12/2006

Sakae Sushi at UOB building with my bunch of Polytechnic friends.It's so hard for us to get together.




Due to some other badly taken photos,I shall not post it here.

20/12/2006

It a full dress rehearsal.Thank God that it did not rain on that day.I'm so glad to come here clean and dry.

Clockwise from left: Kids full performance,the "baby Jesus" in a manger,Mr donkey and Mr horse.

Respect for the Props team,they really worked very hard to make all these props.




And this is some of the sneak preview of what is going to happen on the day itself.Can't wait to see how the Cantata goes.
