sick

Fell sick on Mon but had a gruelling two and a half days at work before i finally surrendered and left office to see a doc. Was given two days mc... it's been a good two days of rest but am still unwell.

Quite a bit had happened since I last blogged i believe...

Went for church camp mid june and it was great. The focus on rest, solitude, reading the Word and meditation on the Word was really refreshing. It wasn't one of those 'shove three hour sermons that make u feel as guilty as judas' kinda camp... instead it reminded me of how to read His Word and to ask Him for understanding when i read it... it was life-changing. it was so simple that it was surreal... i read 2 tim 3:16-17 and the words just leapt out at me like they never have before.. it's like this bell suddenly went 'tingtingting' and i understood what it was saying... amazing... =)

was kinda out of touch of badminton for a while... for various reasons so when I got to play last sunday, it was fun... but boy am i out of shape! lol... still fun... and haven't completely forgotten how to play... but looks like i won't be able to play tom cos i'm still ill and will be having a busy week ahead so can't afford to fall sick again.

watched superman... thought it was ok... a little slow.. but my sis loved it.. lol... i mean i noticed all the things she noticed that made her go on and on abt how wonderful it was... but i guess i'm not like her... heehee... full of pathos she said... i asked 'what's pathos?' haha... two sisters, but so diff.. but we both agree that superman was hot.. lol... very good looking... and i liked his son very much... and i'm glad they didn't play up his cutsieness and his role, cos it is after all, superman... not superkid...

caught just my luck... funny movie... got a good laugh.. i like lindsay lohan... liked her ever since i saw her as a wee little girl in parent trap which is one of my fav cheer up movies... and chris pine was cute too... lol... and the ending was pretty sweet...

feel like catching mistress of spices... aishwarya rai looked so beautiful in the trailer... i loved bride and prejudice... think it's one of the best adaptations of pride. sure beats the one with colin firth as mr darcy... bleah! he's so not mr darcy... 'no life without wife!' loved it... not too keen on dylan mcdermott tho.. he's alright lah... hmm... see how... definitely not worth 9.50... maybe a weekday $7... but then again, i think it's one of those just worth a dvd rental from video ezy... lol...

caught firewall finally yesterday on dvd with xiang... was pretty interested in the movie and felt bummed i didn't get to catch it when it was on the big screen, but i think it was might as well i missed it... didn't find it that intriguing...

hmm... now why do i keep going on abt movies? think i must be bored...
