i'm in the middle of applying for jobs, and lost motivation... seeing as it's been a while since i posted any photos, the perfect procrastination excuse found me ;)
these are (the start of) some overdue pics from when i was in singapore almost a month ago... this particular set being from saturday 25 sep, when i attended a "mid-autumn festival" celebration held by the mt gerizim bible presbyterian church.
the chua chu kang bible centre building, which is actually home to 3 (or is it more?) churches. not quite sure how this works - this kind of setup is certainly unlike churches (and their buildings) that i'm accustomed to in australia.
the event began with a buffet - i had my share of the food early because i became one of the helpers (who had to eat early, before the guests proper arrived), even though it was my first time stepping foot into the place, and still being somewhat jet lagged and majorly sleep deprived after my overnight flight.
other items on the evening's agenda included things such as solving chinese riddles, a short talk by the church's pastor, some singing, song presentations, and this play (based on the prodigal son parable). notice the rear projection "screen", displaying background pics in time with the action on stage (which was actually all mimed to pre-recorded dialogue).
anyways, i was pretty pooped at the end of all that... which about wraps up day 1.

so funny i forgot to laugh
i've just been shown a document that refers to my position in terms of being a manager. i suppose it's not a bad climb given that i started out a year ago as an assistant. funny thing is, my salary hasn't changed one single cent... and here they talk about rewarding those who prove themselves... pfft.
there's a variant of uno i sometimes play, where you can play a 'reverse' card on things like draw two's and draw four's. ie. the person before you may be dealing you a blow with a draw, but you can reverse it on them if you have the right card. i wished i had the right card... this would be such a sweet time to play it! (or am i just being too vengeful??)

what gives me happiness...
a night out with friends... 1 to go try street-o and have good conversation time, and after that with 2 others (+ one of their friends) for a few games of pool and some laughs.
now i'm ready for a nice sleep, and probably sore legs tomorrow!

Rain...
我懷念有一年的夏天
一場大雨把你留在我身邊
我看著你那被淋濕的臉
還有一片樹葉貼在頭髮上面
那時我們被困在路邊
世界不過是一個小小屋簷
你說如果雨一直下到明天
我們就廝守到永遠
RAIN FALLING IN MY HEART
你的聲音仍然深印我心田
世界改變 你也改變 我在海角天邊
RAIN FALLING IN MY HEART
你的諾言雖然沒有實現
愛是雨點 落在昨天 永不放晴的纏綿
一場大雨把你留在我身邊
我看著你那被淋濕的臉
還有一片樹葉貼在頭髮上面
那時我們被困在路邊
世界不過是一個小小屋簷
你說如果雨一直下到明天
我們就廝守到永遠
RAIN FALLING IN MY HEART
你的聲音仍然深印我心田
世界改變 你也改變 我在海角天邊
RAIN FALLING IN MY HEART
你的諾言雖然沒有實現
愛是雨點 落在昨天 永不放晴的纏綿

CTP Premium Calculator
october is a big month of expenses... car rego and insurance are due then. just about to pay my rego and thought i'd take a quick squizz on google to see if my current CTP insurer is giving me a good price before i fork over my money, and came across this handy little page: CTP Premium Calculator
if you get there fast enough you might spot a typo in the "title" of that page... let's see how quickly their web monkeys respond to my email :)
incidentally, yes my current insurer is giving me the best price. not that there's much variance in the offerings... oh well good to know nevertheless!
