Some Updates.

Guess it has been some time ago since I last updated. So here we go again for some updates. More like articles with various columns. Anyway, currently I'm on my 3 months long holiday which is the only once of this long period in my entire two and a half years in university. After this, the rest of the holidays would be about 3 weeks long the max. Oh well, that time only would sulk about it then. Final exams were pretty okay, just that one or two papers where a little bit challenging. Will see how I fared when the results are out (which I have no idea when are they going to come out). Seems that my schedule during my holidays (which don't quite seem like holidays already due to that I'm working during that time to earn some money since I'm really running dry on cash). Going to start work tomorrow in Church office, what work I'm going to do? No idea for now. I chose to work in church because that's the only place I can find and think of who can give me some flexibility in working time.

This is because I planned to go for a mission trip to Thailand from 19th till 28th of October. Then there will be various seminars, conferences such as the missions conference, vacation bible school. Not leaving the camps like HUGE camp and youth camp. It was some time ago since I last attended HUGE camp though and I don't think I would have the opportunity to attend it anytime sooner than next 2-3 years? So with all these plans ahead, guess I have to work in church afterall. If not it's impossible that I could go to all those events etc. Come to think of it, I should have started work on October instead of tomorrow which is the last week of September. At least I can enjoy some of the holidays. too bad I already made my plans and told my superior. Sighs...

I can't wait to go for the mission trip. As it was few years back since I last joined a mission trip. Preparation to go there is quite an interesting one as I'm going to teach some lessons there. Maybe get to play football with the children there which is sure going to be a fun one. Much to look forward to as I've never been to that place before. So can't imagine how would it be like. Andrew's going to be there and probably going to be in the same room for about 10 days? Oh boy... God have mercy... Hope you guys can keep us in prayer as we do much need it. Youth camp, I'm one of the committee, first time being one. Can feel how is the planning, meetings, preparation being done to make sure that the camp do go on smoothly and everyone at the camp have a wonderful and splendid time there getting to fellowship and not leaving to get renewed in God.

There's still going to be Christmas, heard there would be carolling. Might go to some hotels and sing there. I wonder if there would be any live band since we can set up one. Plus another Christmas production, but I don't think it's going to be as big scale as last year's one. I'm not in the committee this time. Just going to help out only. Phew, really it's going to be one packed up 3 months and I don't quite see when I can just relax and be a lazy bum. Think my parents would be not that happy to see be lazing around like that. And I need to raise up finance to go for the mission trip. Anyone want to give me any love offering? =P (I hope can get some cash instead of presents for my b'day though) ^^

30= more days till going to be a time to commemorate 21 years of my life here on earth. An anniversary I'd say. Hmm.... What can I say? It's an interesting 21 years for sure. Can't imagine last time how I wonder what would I be at this time. Some were quite unexpected though... So I would be working till end of the year, after that a short break in January then it would be back to university with my studies, assignments, mid terms, finals... Dreads... What to do? This is called life. But at least there's Abba Father watching over me and assisting me whenever I'm in trouble.

Guess that's abut it for updates, Should be able to update this blog of mine pretty often hopefully. If I can think what exactly to type about. See you all around.

Movie Review- Money No Enough 2.

Just watched Jack Neo's latest movie- Money No Enough 2 with my family. Movie overall was good but the CGI effects are still Asian standard. The realistic feel is not there. Probably due to the budget constraint that's why... There are laughs as well as emotional scenes in this movie, so do bring tissue paper along with you if you're soft at heart. I almost did cry but manage to just hang in there. This movie touches on the various aspects in terms of the government in S'pore of how they collect toll money for roads or highways, financial issues as well as family issues which includes the older folk. Of what may or usually happen to an elderly person who may be put to an old folks home by their own children and so on.

As for the plot, it's a continuation sequel from the first one which revolves three brothers after 10 years how's their life so far, their career on how successful they are and the conflict they face with their family when financial crisis struck. The sacrifice made by their loved ones. Besides that, their aged old mother who still stores money in the biscuit tin. How her sacrifice towards her sons by borrowing them her lifetime savings (which she don't expect them to return) since her sons are each facing the financial difficulty. And how she in her old age face the various illnesses such as diabetics, forgetful etc.

Her sons face the dilemma on how and who to take care of their mother, though they each tried taking turns to take care of her which ended her sleeping in the kitchen, storage room and so on. They do not see her sadness (because she hid her feelings). Eventually they decided to send her to the old folks home which resulted her being admitted to the hospital because of the grief and the high blood pressure the three sons' mother has.

In the end, sacrifice made by their mother when a complicated situation arose. To save the brother's daughter who's a teen or their mother. (this is due to the lack of blood supply in the hospital) The mother took out her life support machine and off she goes. (In short died) Plenty of moral values can be learnt from this movie. It do applies to us Malaysians as well because sometimes we may tend to have this want to get rich the easy way, to get a good job position the easy way. But the fact is that everything needs to have a step at a time. Start from bottom to the top and do not be easily fooled by what people say.

To sum it up, do go and enjoy watching this movie =) In your nearest theaters today~!!
