It has been a wonderful weekend indeed, despite having to work on a Saturday...I have looked at the bright side and somehow consoled myself that it'll b the last Saturday that i'll ever have to haul ass to work...(i sincerely wish so..).
Mom has gotten me to read this book in which she claimed will build me up in many ways...It is written by Rick Warren entitled 'Purpose Driven Life'..i have started on the first eight chapters and thought it is rather inspiring, really...
It speaks of why we are here in the 1st place, what's the ultimate purpose we are put on this earth, and how are we to live with purpose....et cetera...shall tell u guys more bout it when i finish reading it...
Yesterday i was invited to witness this drama put on by DUMC, with the title 'Forgiven'...We have several hours to kill before the drama commences, so Jo and I went to 1-U (again), hoping to catch a movie...
It was dismaying when there aint any nice films screening...I have looked forward to catching one of these...National Treasure, The Aviator, Ocean's Twelve, Bridget Jones:Edge of Reason and The Phantom of the Opera:The movie ...
Well, i anticipated particularly POTO as ive always adored this musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, what a masterpiece!...another production of ALW in which i will nv forget is CATS...(coz i saw that with my ex at Istana Budaya, cost me 500...)
She has perferred FAME to CATS, we have argued for a while which was better and i still think CATS, along with its contumes and renditions, boasted some more difficult dance steps...their cat's gesture was impressive too...
There was this Polar Express in which i havent seen though, but ive promised Al to watch it with him in Imax Theatre...The review for the conventional 2D cinema was bad, but ppl are giving the thumbs up for the 3D screen...no harm trying it anyway, but im sure it'll be the same as Imax Sydney...also, be prepared to pay double from the conventional one...
After shopping for her stilettos (browsing from old to new wing) and a satisfying meal at Vietnam Kitchen (Kudos for me in attempting Asian cuisines..), we were weary...so we ventured into MPH for that knowledgeable afternoon...
Our sojourn at the book store wasnt without gain... I checked out some of the other books that Dan Brown has written, felt tempted to buy Angels and Demons but instead, i got the books from Mitch Albom...
i)Tuesdays with Morrie
ii)The Five People You Meet in Heaven
we spent some time reading there too, Jo was hooked up with 'Travel Mercies', a number one best selling Christianity book while i looked at John Grisham's The Last Juror and Arthur Golden's Memoir of a Geisha...(will b back for 'em..)
When it was time to leave, we had problem locating the car (it happens ALL THE TIME...), and we werent sure of the direction to DUMC either...after some bad navigations and to tolerate with few atrocious drivers on the road, we finally got there jz in time for the drama...
The drama was fine, relating the issue of Spouses, relationship between wife and mother-in-law, how things fell apart, how angry words were expressed, how forgiveness were given and accepted...
The Pastor gave some meaningful words that touched many of us, we repented, and we asked for forgiveness and we learned of the art of forgiving others...I dunno, somehow i dun think holding grudges towards someone is a good idea at all, why not jz let it go and live a peaceful life...
'Im Forgiven, because You were Forsaken,
Im Accepted, You were Condemned,
and Im alive and well Your spirit is within me,
because You died and rose again...'
