The urban room was finally completed on friday (But I have no good pictures -_-)!!! It looks soooo good and I must say Alina's idea of having a spotlight in the corner of the room made an incredible difference. The ambience when you switch off the main lights and leave just the spotlight on is just wow.
Caught Red Cliff 2 with Eunice and Zhongkai after the Math lecture on Saturday. Really good show man could easily watch it again haha. The part where Cao Cao gives his "motivational speech" to his soldiers to get their fighting spirit up after being hit by typhoid reminded me of something I read about Hitler some time back. For all the atrocities we blame the brains behind the operations and the hideous mastermind, we have to realise at the end of the day that it was carried out and completed by the hands of everyday men and women like you and me. Many a times carried out fervently too. The way the soldiers get back up and their feet and started chanting as an army, scary. Wonder if they even knew what they were fighting for. Completely opposite from the Sun Quan and Liu Bei's army. Even Xiao Qiao could say that she came for the people of the land and not just for her husband. SmashT Cao Cao, SmashT. The final battle once again shows that infantry are nothing but cannon fodder haha, scores of soldiers getting raped by bows and catapults. Gan Xing would be my hero of the battle for suicide bombing down one of the gates so the rest could push through. Overall it's needless to say Zhu Ge Liang is the smartest of them all, not to mention the quirkest (Master tactician who plays music, studies the weather, farms, helps cows give birth??) haha. Speaking of Zhu Ge Liang everytime he appeared the row of China girls behind us kept going "hao shuai ah hao shuai ah" then one of them would say "shuai dan shi bu shi xi huan ni", hilarious.
Pastor Jenn preached at service and on the effects of transformation. Speaking from Acts 9 she shared regarding Saul's (later known as Paul) transformation, how he received a new task, made new enemies, had new friends and bore new fruit. New enemies and friends I guess can be a very real thing for many people, when old friends don't agree with the choices we make, when we become torn between faith and friends. Which of course reminds us of the need for good company; Hebrews 12:24-24 "And let us consider how to stir one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." A time to think of what the people we're close to are like and how we're like to the people around us; are we leading them in the right way (and vice versa)?
That was saturday, and today (sunday) was a mad rush in the morning because I forgot to return the urban room keys on friday, and also forgot to bring it to church on saturday -_-. To make things worse the keys were in hall and I went back home on saturday night. So I had to rush down to hall to grab the keys then rush down to church since the prayer ministry was using it in the morning. Managed to reach near 830 and pass the keys to Yi Sin. Went down to the National library to study after that. The study room was full so early in the morning! Went to the central borrowing area in B1 instead. it was a pretty nice place to study except that I could not get the wireless internet working (some security certificate problem) and after leaving for lunch I lost my seat. Borrowed some books that looked pretty interesting, hopefully I'll have the time to read them with tutorials and IHG trainings intensifying. Off to the treasure hunt committee debrief and dinner, I asked for it to be on a weekend cause all my weekday nights during the holidays were either training/DP sets, but now sets continues tonight and basketball training as well, smashT.
