Romans 5:1-11

Just came back from CGLG, where we discussed on Romans 5:1-11. Brain half fried in trying to understand it, but yet, there's a lot of things to be understood fully, looks like have to spend a LOT more time in figuring out this one...too many things that hit..too many..

(Happening) Weekend

Happening weekend:
-Splash Awards: Microsoft's .NET briefing
-DodgeBall
-Mid-autumn mini-celebration
-Addition to the family: Benjy

The heart of a CGL: so much easier to understand where they're coming from, being one myself now, and to think through abt things.

Christianity for Dummies

Found the description and read an excerpt from that book whilst taking a break from studying. Quite a quirky way of putting the gospel forward (Dummies style), and some interesting examples that the author used to put forward some things in there, though not too sure whether there could be any misunderstandings from reading this (haven't read it myself).

Hahaha...back to study!

Went out w/ Tree n TZY to get some stuff from SLS (got a stack of CD-Rs today, finally), and watched "The Terminal", afterwhich we went for supper. (Afterward, realised that Tree had gotten back a different burner than which she sent for repair, so need to exchange again. Should've checked it there and then)

Had quite a weird experience with the shopkeeper trying to smoke TZY into getting a camera which wasn't as good. Funny how his attitude completely changed when that particular sale was 'confirmed', and his attitude changed.

The Terminal was a good show (finally one more good show out there, not those shows that they film for the sake of it)

Supper at Hall 9 with them, plus Chin Cher, just a time of talking and a little drinking. Reached back hall at 3am.
 

The ouch day

Went out in the morning to ecp to skate with some others, got opportunity to talk to some of the freshies that I've never gotten the chance to talk to much before.

Had a small fall whilst there, some stupid mistake of mine, not too much injury sustained relatively.

Some mis-comm, abt dinner arrangements, end up never join the rest for dinner, though somehow I think it's not related to the dinner that the prob lies somehow.

Had our fun day (where the various sections come together) today, thank God for the weather, and more importantly, the people who went, who made this possible. Was quite stressful, the running of the thing, with some details overlooked (like getting a loudhailer/whistle), but I think the people who went did get to know/talk to more people, and if anything, this is a start to start talking (to each other). Celebrated Chin Cher's birthday too after the dinner, and of course, with the LETHAL combination of C's there, there was no way that he'd have escaped the cream facial. Happy birthday bro! 

The importance of context

Many interesting things happening over the weekend: being "interrogated" over lunch (hahaha no lah) with A and HQ, celebrating Christina's birthday, dyeing of my roomie's hair, etc.

As with boring people, I shouldn't write too much details in here, lest they bore you to death ;)

==================

But there's one thing that hit me though: that no matter what we say, especially the things that really matter, finding out how the person's (you're talking to)understanding you, is important, as to the person saying it, that intended way of understanding it may seem perfectly natural, but to the hearer, they/he/she may be understanding it totally way off.

For things that don't matter, it's something trivial that can be settled easily.

But what about the things that settles the diff btw life and death? The things that matter? And those where there's no second chance on the decision?

==================

Some things may be looking up, and some things now seem more dangerously off than I thought; but in these, there's still one thing that hasn't changed: my only objective left in life.

(Come to think of it, the 5 day work week for civil servants may not be such a bad idea after all =D , but need to think through carefully with this particular idea that hit...)

Sub-Comm Night - Evolution: Pretty fun time getting to see who else're in the sub-comms, and talk to pple too. For those who don't know yet, I'm also in my hall's publications sub-comm (as a photographer of course!) =)
