what a long week

okies... here's a rundown of what i did this week... was a most troubling/interesting/disturbing/joyful week
Sunday:
was on the worship team... played ok i think... was the only acoustic guitarist today so it was interesting having to provide most of the rhythm (did i spell it right?) hahaha... which isnt good because my rhythm's pretty shoddy for someone who's been playing for 4 years...
but it did teach me alot about listening to other team members, blending in, and that yes... LESS IS MORE
it was actually quite fun and challenging... because normally i'm in a support role so i'm usually less heard... so this time if i made a mistake... i screw everyone up hahaha THE POWER vested in me...
then... as i noted in my last post i got the tutoring job....
Monday:
Did nothing today... was too darn hot to go out man... i woke up at like 11... and i thought: "well screw this man... i'll stay at home in the aircon rather than get baked outside"
Tuesday:
Also another stay at home day cos hahaha my lovely parents... taking advantage of this lull in my outside obligations (exams just finished u see) gave me a wonderful, concise 5 point list of what to do in my spare time... i've turned into a pretty decent homemaker hahaha (dont let anyone know this ;-))
on another note... someone flooded my blog with an interesting series of comments hahaha... well lets just say none were particularly helpful to my state of mind at the time and thus were deleted...
Wednesday:
Saw Collateral with Fahad and DW...
actually i liked it alot... the plot is simple enough... and the movie can basically be summarised watching the trailers... but i did enjoy the charming Mr Cruise cast as a very convincing contract killer... would watch it only for enjoyment value... because well the film entertains, but doesnt say anything about anything really...
still i rate it 4 out of 5 . worth the $11 i forked out (movies are so darn pricy here man!!!)
Thursday:
went out with Jason, Kenny, Calv, and Andrew... A and K have a place next to the uni. is actually pretty funky... would love to live so close to the uni... so anyways we went to lambretta's, had some pretty good bruschetta, talked... laughed... they're pretty cool guys... hope calv has a good trip back to KL and Kenny has a good stay in HK (still havent been there).
Friday:
ok today was packed... First Tan invited me for lunch at her place in Subi... so once again, DW gives me a ride at the busport... we get there... start cooking (well ok... i'm a hopeless food cooker thingy guy... i was relegated to chopping vege's) so anyway's there's 9 of us there... and well her kitchen was gettin pretty crowded ehh... we started at 11 and only finished cooking at about 2 hahaha... but then again... was worth it... Belle made an AWESOMELY GOOD pumpkin pie.... creamy, smooth, soft...ahh like the stuff u dream of man :-P... and everyone was like "eat up nic", and i'm like... "man i'm stuffed" (it wasnt funny man... i had to eat like 3 plates of rice...i'm not that visibly thin am i?:-) unless it's one of those 'signs' we were discussing at camp hahaha) it was totally fun...Tan said next time we'll just get pizza hahaha... (less trouble)

the thing was rite... i had told Tim that i would be in Garbo's by 2:50(to catch a movie with him after his TEE)... now it doesnt take a brain surgeon to know that well one can't get to Garbo's in less than an hour from Subi using public transport... so we changed locales to Carousel... thanks to a good suggestion by C's boyfriend... so anyways Timo calls me back and says... the next showing of Bridget Jones 2 is at 3:30... so anyways... meanwhile i've just finished desert .... and then i realise it's 2:45... and i'm still in friggin Subi (bad time management skills + very good food and company = Nick is very late).... so i make a quick, charming exit (as is my habit ;-)... stagger the 1.5 km to the Subi train station... (was really full so it wasn't easy... hahaha) i get there, find out i have not enough change... hafta buy water at the Woolworth's .... dash back just to see the train leave.... urghhh
so anyways i end up in wellington Train station at about3:20.... so i'm like "am gonna be seriously late here..."
okies... here's the next problem... i have never taken a train before... so i'm like "which stop is the Carousel one?"... and being too darn embarassed to ask... i have to resort to the method of looking out of the window to look for a large shopping centre (i'm sorry i though Carousel was near the train station... unfortunately it isnt hahaha) so several stops pass by and still no Carousel... and i'm thinking "hmmmm let's see... i'll get off here"
so it is by complete luck that i get off at Cannington THANK GOD ;-) (i rarely go to Carousel u see and thus a minor detail like its location isnt worth remembering) hahaha so i have to get on a bus... it gets me there... then i like full ran from the food court to the cinema... accidentally running into an old lady (Sorry... it was 3:45 i was seriously late....!!!! sorry AUntie... honest!!!) okies... get there... and we decide to watch the 4:45 NOOO!!!! i ran here man!!!! hahaha... life is fun isnt it?
the movie is funny... absolutely funny... though it loses momentum towards the end... hahaha i haven't laughed so hard in a while :-)
well anyways... me and tim ended up going to the PCLC youth service that night... which was excellent as usual... God was there!!!... and well... it was amazing, refreshing and revealing after all i had gone through in the week...saw Jason and Gen there as well... who are trying to get me to go to the PCLC formal dinner... well i'll see who else goes... but im at 50-50 now
Saturday:
what did i do today? well i resolved a potential issue i think...i'm still not sure if i did it the right way, but i did what i felt was right at the time... and i'll leave it at that... i mean... it's hard to act sometimes when u feel you're going against what your heart wants but you have to do the right thing... and feelings change as everyone knows...
what else? helped my parents in the garden.... yeahh mum decided it was spring cleaning day so i had to vacuum curtains etc... was sneezing all day
Sunday:
Service today was ok i got there 30 mins late which wasnt good but stuff happens
went for lunch with mes parents and an assortment of aunties from church (was just too tired owing to only getting 6 hrs sleep the night before... horrible sleepless nights seem to afflict me before Sundays)
so we were eating dimsum... and this auntie (im sure she meant well) shows me a picture of her daughter, and goes "X is quite pretty rite?" and i'm like (inwardly panicking)... "urrr yeahh... you've got a pretty daughter" ...
look ... how does one answer such a question? (the young lass is pretty yes but that's not the point;-)
i mean... it just puts one on the spot if a mother asks someone such a question... i try to be diplomatic and all but hehehe well... could lead to misunderstanDings... or i guess i could take it as an indirect compliment (or mebbe i'm just looking too deeply into this:-), but sorry i'm tired ehh).
anyways... now i'm gonna try to choose what units to do this year... urrghh so hard... CHOICES!!!)
cheers!!!
