hmmm..... long time since i blogged.......... many things to say, but shall be limiting and censoring some items......because the time is not ripe yet.

I am still feeling relatively unwell. It's a challenge finding food I can eat....sighz......... I just hope this gets better soon..........

Anywayz...it's been an eventful first week at school. Kinda hard trying to get back on study form after not doing anything since april.......it also sucks travelling from tampines to boon lay every day........sighz....do u know a 2.5 hour journey to school really kills????? Of course it don't help either that I'm not in my best of health right now. But I guess I've to hang in there don't I? This semester is gonna be a tough one......lots and lots of assignments, and I already have a group presentation in full mode.....sighz....

ah well...... a short brief on the whole week......

I think retreat went rather well, albeit a little short..........I guess we didn't expect everyone to turn up on time for us to start at exactly 1.30! But, I think that we, as organizers, think too much of how our participants will react, so much so that we sometimes forget that we want them to learn something.......on the other hand, I guess the participants often come to a program with so much expectations that it's a little hard to live up to it........... as I said in Curia today.....come for every activity with an open mind, and an open heart, and be ready to accept what will be offered. Only then can you benefit from the activity most.

Watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics the other night...... it was FANTASTIC. I didn't expect anything this much. But I guess China really pulled out all the stops for this event....... and they really do have the manpower to carry out such a large scale activity. I think it's really really nice.....they really helped to make the Chinese proud, and create a name for themselves. A combination of their rich history together with the abilities of their modern technology produced a superbly breathtaking opening night............

NDP was....alright. I had expected more. But I guess that is largely due to the spectacle from the Olympics opening ceremony. I guess the whole feel is missing now that they've shifted the entire ceremony.......I feel that the focus has somewhat changed.....but, there was a lot of work going on backstage....and I guess it's the work of the people....... =)

Hmm...had Curia today. Dismal attendance, as has been the case lately........I guess my health is zapping energy out of me, and it really took a lot from me today to pull out energy to attend today's meeting. Just kinda discouraging when you see so few people. Ah wells.....I really don't know what to say..........

Went for lunch after at Sakae.......didn't eat much coz of lack of appetite....... then went to watch Love Guru with Nigel and Angela. I actually think it's a not bad show. If you're watching it at face value, then ya, it probably is lame ass, overly crude sexually, and rather shallow.......But, if you take into account the wordplay that Mike Myers tried to work into the plot, the puns and innuendoes that he weaved so cleverly into every single part of the show, the jokes which required some thinking to actually laugh at, well, I think it's a bloody good job........ He was funny in his own right, and it took a lot of thinking to concoct up such plays on words...........so, I do think it's a not bad movie.....definitely deserving more than the 1.5 star rating it had received.....

hmmmm..... will stop here for now...... don't think i'll be writing much anytime soon.........not until time is ripe....
