Hi, people, do you miss me? (yes-this is narcisistic in scientific term) I practically RUSHED back to come to this blog!! I'm BURSTING to feed you with what happened today!! (You know how it's like when a woman just want to talk it out -- she cant help it!!)
OK, in order not to freak you out or start to be spiritual, I'll keep this entry focused on the events, ok? 1) Rainy morning 2) Amazing Race in Sentosa 3) Ironman movie
1) Have any of you woke up one morning, feeling peculiar for the day? It's like 'something IS going to happen' but yet do not know it's good or bad.. Kinda fear + expectation feeling.. Get it? Well, it happened to me this morning...
I was waken at 7am when I suddenly heard the rain poured down suddenly. Trust me, it's SUDDENLY as my neighbour, who was already on her way out, was exclaiming loudly "Wah, why this rain so sudden?!" Being a sleep-lover, I simply seized the opportunity to laze on my bed, even pulled my dog to sleep with me. How good time flies.. the next moment I know it's already 7.35am! (fyi, company's teambuilding require me to be in VivoCity at 8.30am, and the normal mrt journey require 50mins) I'm so in deep trouble, esp my HRSC VP will be there to flag start the event!
Yet, the moment I stood up from my bed, I just had this strange feeling that everything will be alright today.. I had to double-up my pace in my washing up, changing etc.. and cos of the sudden rain, I had to REPACK my bag in order to put my umbrella and windbreaking jacket (which also act as my raincoat)..What a mess to start off my morning.. For a moment, I even entertained the idea of excusing myself with medical leave, since I'm going to be late and the rain's so heavy!! Somemore, I managed to get myself out of the house at 7.45am! (That IS remarkable for me, ok!)
Even walking to my bus-stop, I cant shake that weird feeling off.. i know something is going to happen, but what?!?!! Will I be blacklisted officially as latecomer?? My mind started to race without any directions..I had to do something before it trigger any panic attack.. so I prayed. Yes, I pray with all I know how, yet I've no idea what to pray..I just recited the Rosary (the only formula prayer I remember).. It's just so difficult to concentrate on praying, when you do not know what to pray for... yet I just keep reciting, yes - really reciting or saying it out, if you do know understand meaning of reciting..Reciting is totally different from praying. It calmed me down, yet it just didnt leave me..
(OK, people, things starting to get freaky now..) The moment I reached bus-stop, my bus came. Though it's not my preferred bus (cos it does not stop directly at MRT stop), I'm 'whisked' into the bus..every traffic junction was so good to me! No stopping! Less than 5mins, I found myself briskly walking (not in a rush, just big leisure steps) from alighted bus-stop to MRT. And the train arrived, the moment I followed the crowd onto the platform. How timely! But that's norm for morning trains, right? In a way, I'm rushing for time, yet I'm really not rushing..everything just comes in place for me.. as if they've been waiting for my arrival..
To my suprise, shock or great thanksgiving (whatever), I arrived at VivoCity at 8.30am! Hello, the usual journey takes 50mins (I know cos I work in area, so this journey is my routine)..No matter how I rush to work, 50mins is no-escape. But today, I reached with a 45mins journey! (5mins is really a big deal, if you are taking the same route everyday, doing the same rushing) And yet, today I didn't even feel like rushing!! I'm merely whisked into the crowd and followed teh flow! It's really funny if u understand what I mean..
I cant help smiling to myself - God is so FUN-LOVING! Yes, He is! He's just God, but He's NOT a boring, strict-looking God. First - the sudden rain which detered my good mood; second - the strange feeling of 'something gonna happen'; third - everything is so smooth when I didn't even need to rush! It's like He's already made the way for my entry this morning.
2) We had to lucky-dip our grouping for the Amazing Race game. And I was hoping in my heart that I'll be grouped with Joanne, and Teggy who will be my host for my coming India trip. Trust me, due to personal reasons, I hope for them to be in my group.. And they'are BOTH in my group! Hello, it's lucky-draw, not assigned grouping, ok? I just felt like 'God' for the moment-everything is according to my wish! hahaha..
When the game started, we had REAL fun! Our group leader is so surprisingly energetic! (She's usually not so 'sporty' in office) We totally had fun with her, running with her all over Sentosa, doing through all sorts of challenges.. And you know what, we are the last team to leave (cos the first clue was really HARD), yet we are the first team who completed all the challenges within that 2hrs!) I must say, we are really BLESSED!! Cos we met a lot of kind and fun people who really played with us! We didn't have a hard time to find people to take photos with us, we didn't have to wait for shuttle bus, we didn't even had to walk around the island!! We practically took a hitch-ride from stations to stations, throughout our race! Serious! No joke! Next time, you can try asking for hitch-ride in Sentosa to anyone, really anyone! I'm sure you'll be surprised and have fun like us! The weather is so cooling (not sunny, not rainy, just cooling with such good breeze!) What more can you ask for, in a out-door game event? And we didn't even have to walk long distance to get a ride! It's just pure fun!
3) Last event-Ironman movie. OK, I must say I'm really tired from all the 'walk' in Sentosa. Dark cinema is the best place to hide myself and sleep, without being 'labelled' by my boss! My infected eye was so happy to close, even for a quick nap. Yet, the show is.. OK, the plot is expected..But what impressed me is the actificial intelligence of technology. Imagine constructing vitually, yet able to touch it! Simply pick and throw the wanted ideas into the rubbish bin! It'll be fun if I can do that..
I really enjoyed this 'comedy' if I could put it. Cos I really enjoyed how intelligent Tony Stark is. (yes, it's a frictional movie, but hey, I'm just attracted to this type of 'science geek', ok?) He's totally smart and WITTY, and fun loving too! Where to find such a guy in real world? A nerd + fun-loving wits.. It'll be easier for me to hit jackpot than to find this guy.. Another thing which impressed me is how sensitive, caring and HONEST he is! He's gentle to his 'secretary' with such humour, and caring in his own ways for all people. What a big heart he has - just like a child, childish yet pure! And he simply cannot tell lies! Even though he's all prepared to give his official speech of 'denial', you can see it's just NOT him to deny.. He simply admits his responsibility of Ironman.. haha..
I really find this movie amusing! Besides the cheap thrill of technology, I cant help laughing in my heart.. How can this 'great' guy be possibly exist in reality? He must be king David in the Bible.. What a great heart and wits! And even if there is this person in this world, what makes me think I'd ever stand a chance near him? (OK, I know I'm fantasizing but no harm, right??) This movie is really 'crappy' yet 'heartwarming' for me, as if there's still 'hope' in this world.. hahaa..
I simply had such great time today! I really tried to simplify everything into this entry...I'm so so thankful to God for this day! Such fun he has planned!
"Our God
Is an Awesome God!"
