ok.. let me see how many days i've missed.. hmm.. sat, sun.. 1,2.. 2 days ?? 2 days!! ooppss.. hahaz...

Saturday (27/12)

well.. let me recap.. just can't really wat happen on this particular day..

orh.. k.. nothing really much happens on this day.. practically stayed home the whole day loh.. nothing much to do.. so do the usual stuff..

so wat I'm so happy about this day was there was NO cell group.. ooppss.. is carlise seeing this?? hehe.. well.. at least there is a break.. no breathing space manz.. =)

now, i think that's about all for sat.. quite boring hor. =)

Sunday (28/12)

ok.. let me see.. on this day, i went to church for service.. Wendy was leading.. i like the last 2 arrangements of the songs (draw me close & shout to the Lord).. wendy, if u are reading this, this 2 arrangements was GREAT! Keep up the good work huh..

which btw reminds me of this thing, which is that we had NOT had a worship evaluation for a long time.. dun u think so?? maybe we shld be disciplined to have one every week without fail.. wat do u think?? "WATCH" (btw, WATCH stands for our music team name: Wendy, Anastasia (my sis), Tiffany, Carlise, Huimin?? so with my name (Abriel), the music team would become "A WATCH".. u all ppl out there get it?? creative huh?? well.. this name was thought by wendy loh (who is the music director of HCC !!) =).. everyone at the count of 3 say wow! 1...2....3... "WOW"... hahaz.. =)

ok.. so that's about the worship part.. so the service continues.. it ended quite late. about 12.15pm.. usually, its only like 11.30pm.. but if have Holy Communion or guest speaker, the most it goes to is 12 noon.. this is becos' our service started late, about 10.15am, instead of the normal 10.00am.. and by the time the worship finish, its like 10.45am.. then there is testimonies and followed by the special song (title: you are here) sang by huimin and me.. so by the time these 2 programs finish, its about 11.30pm liaoz loh.. then with the sermon and all, it finishes at 12.15pm loh..
but i shall NOT complain, becos' yesterday sermon, my pastor gave an example of complaining that service end late.. so yupz.. so i shall NOT complain..

btw, yesterday I was quite discouraged by the size of the congregation.. it was like only half-full.. usually would be 3/4 full.. but yesterday is a bit small (btw, our NORMAL church congregation is quite small.. its a small church.. its only about 40 people).. haiz.. i had this disappointment of only 20+ ppl in the congregation yesterday b4 service loh.. but then, a thought came to my mind..

"we worship God is NOT for men! Its NOT a performance.. but its for God".. really thank God for placing that thought in my mind.. =)

anyway, if u want the lyrics of the song sang by huimin and me, "You Are Here", the following are the lyrics.. this song is really meaningful:


You are here among us
For we have gathered in Your name
We can feel Your presence
In this place

You are here among us
You are enthrone upon our praise
You are here
Here to heal and here to save

Chorus:
You are here in our midst
How we've waited for moments like this
Have Your way in this place
Holy Spirit come do as You wish
We are change as You move in our midst



yupz.. so that's the song.. anyway, after the service, we hang out a while at church.. thinking that there is an evaluation session after the service.. but apparently, there is none.. so anyway, wendy juz told me that we had to leave at about 1pm (and that was about 12.30pm) becos' she had to fetch sarah.. so to cut the long story short, wendy drove all those that are going for the movie (ie, huimin, my sis, sarah, myself and of course, including wendy lah) to PS loh.. and u koe wat movie we watched?? We watched, "Scary Movie 3" !!

before that movie (time of movie was 3.45pm at GV Plaza Singapura, but the time we reached there was 1.30pm.. so there is plenty of time to eat lunch), we went for lunch.. all could not decide where to eat for lunch.. wendy went to collect the tix at PS box office, while we juz stared at blank space in PS building of wat to eat for lunch..

huimin then ask me sumthing.. she asked me something like, "do u think Foo (which refers to my kor, derek) is here eating at the foodcourt??".. i den replied her, "don't koe".. duh.. stupid answer right..hahaz..
anyway, the reason y huimin and me koe that kor's usual hangout for lunch on sunday after service is at PS foodcourt, is becos' he's like mentioning this in every sunday's blog.. yupz.. so we are just wondering.. anyway, out of curiousity, juz now, i went to his site and see his blog, but surprisingly, he did NOT put the lunch thing at PS in his blog manz.. =)

so in the end, we decide to eat lunch at Baker's Inn (becos' huimin got Baker's Inn voucher as a Christmas present [from my family] mahz).. all 5 of us (wendy, huimin, sarah, my sis and me) had set lunches.. their set lunches was quite cheap actually.. it consist of a main course, a slice of cake/pastry and beverages (coffee/tea/italian sodas/soft drink, etc)...

The following are each of our menu:

Wendy

Main course: Roast Beef Bruschetta (Baked provencal tomato ciabatta topped with roast beef and served with house greens.)
Cake/Pastry: Walnut Cheescake
Beverage: Peach Italian Soda

Huimin

Main course: Spaghetti Bolognaise (Spaghetti pasta tossed in a minced beef and tomato sauce.)
Cake/Pastry: Cookies & Cream Cheesecake
Beverage: Rose Tea

Sarah

Main course: Penne in Mushroom Cream Sauce (Penne pasta cooked in a field mushroom sauce.)
Cake/Pastry: Tiramisu
Beverage: Earl Grey Tea

My sis

Main course: Spaghetti Bolognaise (Spaghetti pasta tossed in a minced beef and tomato sauce.)
Cake/Pastry: Walnut Cheesecake
Beverage: Strawberry Italian Soda

Myself

Main course: Champignons a la Creme (Herb flavored vol-au-vent served with field mushroom stew.)
Cake/Pastry: Chocolate Creme Brolette
Beverage: Peppermint Tea

Each set meal only costs $12.90++.. so its quite cheap actually, considering 1 main course at least costs $10.00.. so yupz..

we actually sat there for like an hour loh.. chatting and telling funny jokes, discussing some of the funny scenes in Cinderel-lah!, enjoying the air-con (wahaha) as well as the atmosphere of the whole restaurant.. nice ambience actually.. u shld go there sometime..

then there came the paying part.. we all thought vouchers can be used for the set lunches.. but to our surprise, we can't !! the vouchers ONLY valid for a la carte items.. so yupz.. so we had to use our own money and pay lohz.. huimin actually had $50 voucher.. haiz.. but it was a good lunch actually.. =)

btw, are all the food thing make ur mouth water?? hahaz..

want to koe more about baker's inn (PS branch) ?? visit the following webby: http://www.bakersinn.com.sg (or click on the link, "Baker's Inn Restaurant" on my Favourite Link's box)

anyway, carrying on the topic of Scary Movie 3, i koe this kind of show is lame loh, but i juz want to see how lame this show can get.. ha.. so anyway, my verdict of the show:
the show was a so-so show.. not a must-watch and not a definately-not-to-watch show.. u get wat i mean?? yeh!
If u have seen most of the horror movies (eg: the others, the ring (ang moh version), signs), then u would really understand the true meaning of each part loh..
but even if u never watch it, u would still laugh lahz..
so if u want some movie to really make u laugh, and u dun mind some disgusting scenes and/or foul language and/or lame shows (such as dude, where's my car), then this show is for u.. serious..
but i only 70% enjoy the show.. love the funeral and the man reading news scene the BEST.. that 2 scenes makes me laugh until stomachache loh.. =).. shall not reveal too much about the movie.. juz in case u all call me a spoiler.. =P..
(PS: Scary Movie 3 is rated NC-16, so that explains the disgusting scenes, foul langauge and all)

my kor (derek) actually stated in his blog that Scary Movie 3 is lame and he advice all those reading his blog NOT to watch it.. but its too late.. I've already book and paid the tix like a week back liao loh.. haiz..

after the movie, my sis and I spilt up from the group, leaving only sarah, wendy and huimin.. anyway, dun koe wat happen to them.. i think they went home or sumthing.. i koe huimin had to attend a wedding dinner.. =)

so where was i?? oh yahz.. my sis and I after the movie, joined our parents at Isetan Orchard.. we as a family went out for dinner.. we dun really koe where to eat.. so we walk down the 'so-called' ulu part of orchard.. the road to Tanglin Mall.. so we end up in Tanglin Mall's Foodcourt (Food Junction) for dinner.. I had Yong Tau Fou with soup and thin guo-tiao.. so yummy, becos' i''m craving for Chinese Food, after the filling lunch in the afternoon.. =)..
i muz say the standard of Yong Tau Foo can be as good as Plaza Singapura's one liaoz.. the only thing the Food Junction's Yong Tau Foo stall muz improve is give MORE spring onion.. u are too stingy.. i go to PS and when i ask them for more, they would give me like a lot loh and i like it that way!!

ya right... as if they can hear.. but just trying to commend loh.. but other than the spring onion issue, its alright.. i still enjoy it as much as PS.. so my Yong Tau Foo MUST-EAT places are:
1st place: Plaza Singapura Foodcourt (Located at Level 6 -- beside Sports Connection, and directly opposite (ie, on the other side) Yamaha Music School)
2nd place: Tanglin Mall Foodcourt (Food Junction) (Located Basement 2 -- near Tanglin Marketplace Supermarket)

so yupz.. after that, we took bus service 105 back home loh.. by the time we reached home, its like 9.30pm liaoz.. so i bathe and then watched the TV premiere of "Hollow Man".. so right.. its like half hour after the show starts, I fell asleep liaoz.. very tired.. not that the show was boring.. but my eyes are failing me.. as wat my kor said, i'm struggling with the Z-monster manz, and i lost! so yupz.. hahaz..
