My New Baby!

At last!

I can finally lay hands on my very own car. My Altis has been unveiled to me at Citicab Building on Friday. After a nervy start, I zoomed in absolute liberty on the Singapore roads, beaming with delight and praising God for this enormous blessing of His.

Picked June up from work at her cafe after I shopped for some CDs for the car. I congratulated her for being my first passenger, and hopefully, the only passenger to witness me failing to start up my engine. ^~^ We had an intriguing chat about Constantine, which she caught with two of her friends the night before, particularly on how far the movie's plot dwelved into Christianity and its validity. Hmmm...and I told her how my mum became a sucker for Keanu Reeves after the movie! :P

Just tonight, I met Guangrong for follow-up session. We drove to Geylang to takeaway some food from the "you tiao" shop, then proceeded to Lower Seletar Reservoir for our discussion. Not bad, the place is pretty cool and cold due to the freezing breeze prevailing through the night waves that rocked the shores... By the way, that stretch of road leading to the reservoir's dam was so wide and speed-tempting that I uninhibitedly zoomed down the stretch at 110 km/h, without noticing a hump right in front! Guess I don't have to mention what happened next. Ask my follow-upper. :P

All right man..so much so for the anxiety and the change in lifestyle, shorter travelling time, more time that can be used for meaningful purposes than travel, I'm getting exhausted, esp after the long phone chat with June (which I had promised to be short :P ).

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ......... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Finding Neverland

Met June in the evening to watch the aforementioned movie. Had initially anticipated a plot plagarized from the original Peter Pan story, but was treated to a truly marvellous fairy tale. June liked it very much, and I, too, enjoyed every bit of it. It struck me that there's a child in every of our hearts, just like the perennially stern businessmen from the upper echelons of society who were present at James' (Johnny Depp) play and who shed off their facades of complexity, bursting out into innocent bouts of laughter at the scene when the stage character Peter Pan sent the 3 kids flying into Never Never Land. I recommend this movie to all those of you who wish to inspire and revive the child within your hearts.

After the movie, June and I went around searching for food, and for once, we realized that not every cafe/eateries were as generous in timing as The Outsiders. By 10+pm, most places like Rockies' already have their kitchen doors shut. Ended up savouring delicious pasta at Cafe Cartel instead => "Great choice, Bernard", says June .. heehee. =P

I continued searching for the north star in the night skies after walking June home. Thought I found it. Have been intrigued by stars of late. =)

Back in S'pore!!

Hurray! My company retreat is over! Looking forward to a nice weekend of rejuvenation. What's more CNY is round the corner, and I'm absolutely ecstatic about it! I hope you are looking forward to the holidays as much as I am. ^_^

Arsenal vs Manyoo

It's that time of the year again! Nope, not bonuses. Neither taxes. Nor Christmas! It's the unveiling of the rivalry of greatest animosity, or so it seems, in the English Premier League.

Arsenal vs Man United => Gunners vs Red Devils.

The Gunners haven't impressed in the past few weeks. They barely sneaked past a lesser team in Wolverhampton, their star strikers are in terrible form and they seem to have been relinquished of their surging momentum at the start of the 2004/05 season. Perhaps it's the overwhelming pressure extolled upon them by Chelsea at the top of the table at 10 pts clear?

The Red Devils are in better form of late, but they still seem vulnerable in midfield with all the oldies. Ruud van Nistelrooy the big swine is not set to return for this match, so their only clinical, lethal weapon up front is Rooney.

Anyway, I don't think the result of this game makes much difference to the fate of the league championship. If God favors Chelsea this year, what can these red-jerseyed teams do? Mourinho has publicly said that he fears no one but God (not even Sir Alex Ferguson's volleys of psychological attacks), but God loves him enough to grant his team so many clean sheet victories. Well, perhaps money does make the world go round?
