kuching and some

Happy new year. So Christmas is over and so is 2009. Lots of memories, lots 0f challenges and stuff but this is a new year.

Just a brief update on whats been happening. I'm finally in Kuching after much struggle and uncertainty. Now i think about it, i should have taken the damn bus and come earlier. I missed most of the Bethany performance at the spring shopping mall. It would have been nice to be there but oh well.

Finally had laksa for breakfast today. For some reason it didnt taste as good as i expected, was so-so. In the past few weeks i've watched avatar in 3d, sherlock holmes (homer sherlock, inside joke), played badminton with bare feet - very embarrassing, played futsal with bare feet - equally embarrassing so today i went and got a pair of cheap futsal shoes. Its still tight so its not so comfortable. One disadvantage of living in Asia is that its hard to find shoes size 8 and above. They stock very few in those higher sizes because the majority of shoe sizes are below 8.

My online time has been cut down drastically because of where i live and its making me miss my house in Miri. Just found out i have a new housemate who's from Kuching so its going to be an interesting final year.

What else.. ah resolutions. My resolution for the year? I've decided its a waste of time but i will try to live a better life, be a better friend, housemate, president, son...

I guess thats all for now. Have to be back before starbucks closes. I miss my favourite times square starbucks, dont have to pay to use the wifi huhu. Oh yeah, my insomnia is gone. I finally sleep like a normal human :)

In all your dealings this week don't forget nothing is bigger than our God.

looking back

This year has been very very eventful. Kind of like riding a wild horse. Today in church i was reminded to take time to look back at my life and see if God has been good. Maybe I can see things a bit more clearly so thats what i'm going to do. This post is a work in progress.

Ok so the past few days my internet time has been limited that why i can't update. I'm back in kuching and have been occupied with stuff.

I've been thinking about it and i guess i want to thank God for the everyday blessings. For a place to live, for friends, for food to eat everyday, for health. I've been a while since i went to a hospital because i was sick. I still get flu every now and then but nothing serious. I thank God for the opportunity to serve in church both in kuching and miri and also in vcf. I count it as a privilege. And finally i thank God for my family, for keeping them safe and healthy.

avatar movie

Avatar basically means an alter ego. Yahoo has this thing where you can create a virtual you and fill it with a nice background, style your hair and what not. Same idea as the movie. But in the case of the movie, the alter ego is biologically engineered to look like the Na'vi the natives of planet pandora where an obviously american corporation has base and mines unobtainium. Cool name if you ask me.

Without revealing too much i must say its a nice-ish movie. Its almost 3hrs long so be prepared if you want to go see it and you should. There's a lot of cg in the movie. So much that i wondered why they didn't just make it an animated movie like titan ae. There was something about the water, i dunno it felt weird for me like it was not real.

I probably should wait before publishing this because i really don't know what to make of the movie. There are stuff going on that i don't know where i stand on them. This has got to be the strangest thought on a movie i've done but i will say this. Its a very engaging movie and watch with your eyes open and your brains working. Questions some of the way things are done and let me know what you think. As ratings go its an 8/10 for me.

real talk

Routine. has been the story of my life these few days. It sucks staying back in miri now when there are less than a hand-full of people here. Everyday its the same thing. Kind of like living each new day in a replay of the previous. And there's a possibility i'll be spending christmas alone, huhu.

Onset insomnia. is what i have. I don't know how i got it, i don't know how to lose it but for weeks now i can't sleep until its 5 in the morning. Well except for sundays where it takes considerable effort - changing my alarms, asking someone to wake me up, actively staying awake, to keep me upright for the most part of the day. Although i feel drowsy all through the service. This is bad.

Had an interesting talk with my mom this morning. Even though she's thousands of miles away i feel like she's right here. Mothers are a blessing. The past few months have been rather difficult for me, personally. I know what you're thinking, its not THAT. Its just... you get used to something even when you know its not the way it ought to be but...adaptation? Anyway i miss having someone talk to me, i mean real talk. it can do wonders for a man.

Well where ever you are, i want to wish you the best of the season. Merry Christmas :)

p.s the title of this post was suppose to be 'you should read my book' - you will never guess ^^
