Home made popcorn!!!

I was so nervous this morning when I was preparing to church for my confirmation ceremony. As the Archbishop will be anointing us, somehow I felt quite nervous. I was supposed to reach the church by 11am and I was still trying to get a cab at that time. I was so scare that I'm unable to register in time and won't get to be confirmed today. Luckily, I made it in time at abt 1110am (but was the last few). I kept rehearsing in my head what are the sentences that the Archbishop will say and my response. The feeling I had during the ceremony is no difference to how I felt during my baptism ceremony...... anticipation.......... and more anticipation.

Work this week is just hectic. The quarter-end forecasting exercise is driving me nuts. Not only did the forecasted numbers not come in on time for our review, the numbers are way above the budget which makes our review all the more difficult. Hiaz....... work is getting tough now liao......

I still remember watching an episode of a TV serial "Touched by An Angel" called "Psalm 151" during my retreat last year when I was preparing for my baptism. The episode talks about a sick and dying young boy who has a list of things that he would like to do before he dies. One of the task he would like to complete is to hear the song that his mother has started when she was expecting him but has yet to complete as she was extremely sad to know her son is very sickly and became angry with God. The angels came and together with his best friend and neighbours, they managed to help him fulfil one task by one task, except for the uncomplete song. Eventually, his mum still managed to complete the song and praising Lord as she would like to tell the world about her son's love for life in this world. She named this song "Psalm 151" and sang the song to her son in their garden together with their neighbours with the ending that the boy dies with a smile on his face and the angels bring him up the Heaven.

It was an extremely touching show that 99% of us who watched the show were tearing like nobody's business. Father Richards posted us this question, "What are the things that you would like to do before you die?". To date, I have not found any answer to this question.

Anyway, I really like the song that the mother sang in the show and it's actually called "Testify To Love".........

All the colours of the rainbow
All the voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins

Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation
Lives to testify

For as long as I shall lives
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall lives
I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the seas
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace

Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart will
Speak what love has done

For as long as I shall lives
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall lives
I will testify to love

Transformers

Another excellent. excellent movie that I enjoyed myself very much for this weekend. It was so many years ago when I saw Transformer cartoon. Seeing the Transformers changed from / to trucks and cars in 2D cartoon is really nothing like watching the 'real' thing (created by computer graphics) on the big screen. We bought tickets to the digital version of the movie and the colour and sound effect was really great. Everything seems brighter in terms of colour and clearer in terms of sound.

Optimus Prime, the leader of Autobots was really cool!!!!! The big blue and red truck is just so cool looking. And the voice is sexily LOW........ (hahahahahah!)

The evil looking Megatron, leader of the Decepticons looks like an evil spirit with the red eyes and sharp teeth. You sure you are a robot????? Hahahaha.

ROLLOUT!!
