Philippians 3:12-16...

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained."

How true... Thank you Lord...

More movie reviews... (brief comments)

Hancock: Hmmm... Will Smith is ok, just that the plot is not convincing enough, ending quite abrupt too... But for the unusual superhero concept, that's quite interesting... Can be better though... =)

Hancock: "Do I have the permission to touch your body?"
(HAHAHA...)

Red Cliff: Well, not a hardcore ROTK fan, so don't really know the original characters & storyline, except those famous ones... Admit it's tough to make a movie from such a strong well-known story that already stay firm in the heart of people... Personal feel of the movie is it's too draggy, yawned quite a few times during the show... It's ok to have suspense and silence if the moment is necessary, but it's a different thing to be draggy and disrupt the momentum of the show... Well, I guess I'll still watch part 2 next year to see the fire burning... =)

逾﹕"你也懂陣法?"
亮﹕"略懂..."
(HAHAHA...)

Step Up 2 The Streets: Rent it to watch. Didn't watch part 1, so just wanna see how's the story and dance actions... I enjoyed the show, though my expectation hasn't been met. I thought the show will boost my interest in learning dancing... haha... this show didn't achieve that... But always like the concept of a team forming by unique individuals where each has own different 'attributes' to add color to the team... =)

Jenny: "I like your teeth."
Smiles: "Thanks, I like your accent."
Jenny: "What accent?"
(HAHAHA...)

Vantage Point: Recommended by a few people, so decided to rent it to watch... Indeed, a very interesting way of telling a story... I love how the story slowly unfold and engage the audience to follow through with excitement & questions in mind to seek answers... A very creative way of movie-making! And appreciate the movie more after watching the dvd bonus of the making of the movie... The actors were all good, though they are not superstars... Learnt about the truth of Point of View (POV) differs from everyone, even if it's the same event. (Suddenly link the things i learnt in Reason & Persuasion! Haha.. perception of table in our mind? see the link?)

"This is a wonderous day. Today, we make history!"

New Post... (Finally..)

Ok... Finally managed to force myself down in front of my computer to post a blog entry... Realising my blog seems to be dying soon... Now that it has been quite some time from my last post, I also not sure what to share up here...

Perhaps listing down some of my thanksgiving points to God for the things that happened recently...

1. Thank God for His healing
- Been coughing and ill since 3 weeks ago... Thank God for the fast recovery and rest after the ActsCalibre camp, that I regain my voice and end my non-stop coughing syndrome... (which makes me just wanna sing P&W and KTV again! LOL)

2. Thank God for His providence
- Been starting to work at Mind Cafe, it has been a good experience so far, with the friendly crew and fun-loving customers... Special thanks to Minghua & Alvin for their guidance during my 1st day of work... Promised God that I'll really give my best in the job to be a testimony for Him!

3. Thank God for His promise
- Came in as a stunning news when I got the sms from my brother that my father received Christ after attending his church's Sunday service! It was an long-awaited prayer answered! Indeed God is faithful and nothing is impossible for Him... Amen? =)

4. Thank God for His presence
- Specifically for the GenACTS events all these while, can really see how God has helped the committee in planning and executing the events... It is great to see how the freshmen have enjoyed the experiences and the new friendships we build over them. God work miraculously in our midst!

5. Thank God for His encouragement & challenge
- Recently have been trying to get my head down to receive direction from God, especially with all the upcoming responsibilities and things I need to take up to lead my group... Thank God for His Word and people around that encourage me... Thank God for my shepherd and leaders... I wanna respond positively to the challenges, be it new roles or deeper commitment in ministry... (More of Him, less of me...)

Currently, i am reading on a interesting book i bought from MPH a month ago...

After reading the 1st 2 chapters, i began to reflect upon those times which I sense God speaking to me... And I realised that I am very sensitive to it through media... specifically like movies... I can always manage to receive a rayma moment from a movie/tv that speak to me, no matter that's the main theme of the movie or not... And i enjoyed them, not just because the movie is enjoyable, but I know that's a special way that God uses to speak to me... =)

Below are 3 movies i rent to watch last week... I watched all back-to-back, with only a few hours sleep in between the last 2... Not often can you have the luxury to have movie marathon, so must treasure it b4 sch reopen soon...

Dan in Real Life: I love the show... It was one i missed in cinema... Can really feel for the main character Dan in the story and the internal struggles he is feeling.. (trying to imagine something similar happening to me, i won't know how to deal with it either...) A good recommendation for those who like family-themed show, with a unusual romance theme...

Jesus Camp: This is often a documentary film I wanted to catch in PictureHouse previously... Always seeking documentaries like this that talks about Christians' belief... It is inspiring of course, no doubt about it... For non-Christians, this is also a good one to understand more on Christianity...

Be Kind Rewind: Another show i missed in cinema, 2 attracting factors for me to go for it, Jack Black and spoofing of movies! This film really reminds me how fun it is to make your own movies, even with simple technology and 'props'... haha... (oh... i miss my N70 phone again...) A bonus of unexpected heart-warming ending... another plus point for the movie...

Oh ya, and I have to declare my new favourite animation film to date is Kungfu Panda!!! This film is beyond awesome... The animation is great, but it won't be that enjoyable and fascinating if the script is just average... I simply love the script, yet another inspiring movie for me to wanna make movies like this in future... Well done Dreamworks! ( I have watched it twice in cinema btw... Haha) Waiting for its DVD liao... =p
