Heya guys... In school now waiting for jamming to begin. Well today (Tuesday) we ended lessons at 12pm and jamming's at 4pm. So... I'm now in com lab watching (probably more like listening to) people playing DOTA while I'm blogging.
Oh well... How to concentrate while everyone around is DOTA crazy? Maybe I'll BLOG at home instead...
***At Home***
Ok thats much better... K lets start BLOGging... This post might be long... So if you wanna skip a section go to the next portion with an asterisk to read something different. New system to make reading this BLOG a better experience (I've been implementing this for the past few posts though...)! Haha. Now thats good service lol.

Friday! Recovered slightly from sickness to go to school and have pe! First form of physical activity in a long long time, especially since previous pe lessons were all talks and other stuff involving no exercise of any sort. It was frisbee, and I joined in evern though I was sick. My group consisted of some pretty good and athletic people. Ben Zheng, Qing Yuan, Sirui, Sam, Debbie and Amanda.
I started off on the bench cos I was recovering from my flu, and the score was 2-1 in favour of my team when I came on. Then I scored twice thanks to two nice throws by Ben Zheng, and the score at the end of the match was 4-2. For the second match we were pit against the class full of ultimate frisbee team members. So of course we lost haha. But by a margin of 3-1 only. I think we did a pretty good job...

Ethics. We covered this during GP lesson. And there are 4 main kinds of ethic types people can stand by. Namely Consequentialism, Divine Command, Deontology and Virtue Ethics. Consequentialism is the belief that consequences of actions determine whether something is right or wrong. Though most people would use Consequentialism, strangely I don't.
Instead I use Divine Command, the belief that what God commands determines what is right or wrong, and when there are ambiguities such as portions not covered in God's word I use Deontology, which is the belief that duties and obligations fufilled determine whether something is right or wrong. Which explains some of the derogatory remarks made on this BLOG. Sometimes I use this BLOG to do what I feel is my duty without thinking of the consequences.
Perhaps its my personality? Dunno. But I never knew personality could be analysed using a method like ethics. Maybe it'll be useful...

Storm in a Fishbowl! Well... By then I was tired, a bit sick and slightly blue. Not sure why but probably was the after effects of a long day plus recovering from a sickness. Went to Fishbowl expecting more to learn than to fellowship. I think I was even a bit antisocial through the whole thing.
I must say that Rachel did a good job, as well as the chinese cong youth. They were all quite inexperienced in musicals, but they pulled it off nonetheless, with slight blips (like the mike not working at the start). Overall I think the band wasn't that good cos of the drummer, but its the musical itself that was more important. Though band = music = songs in the musical. But it was the content that mattered.
Fishbowl is a musical with Christian values built into it. A story about a few people beginning to realise how God can work in their lives to help them, not give them a hard time. A story about letting all your cares, all your troubles go. Each and every character is equivalent to a human characteristic that is hard to overcome in daily life.
Wealth
Materialism
Doubt
Loneliness
Self-Expectations
These 5 characteristics of living make life on earth so difficult... Put them down and learn to trust that theres someone helping you cope with this, someone who will never leave you even when these five things start to eat at you, gnaw at you, suffocate you. And that person is God. Thats the main point of this musical. And I'm kinda sad that I didn't get to invite anyone. Oh well theres always next time!
Everyone went to supper... And me being the sick guy that I was, went home for a well-deserved rest, and it gave me time by myself to think and reflect. Thus this in depth analysis of the musical. Haha.
***Next Day***
Saturday was more time with YE people, this time watching Pirates of the Carribean, which I had wanted to watch for a long long long time. The next movie I'm aiming for is Spiderman 3. But that'll be later I guess.
POTC was one of the best movies I've ever watched at a cinema. Even though I had to pay $9.50 for me and my bros ($38.50 o_O) , it was well worth it. Humour, action, a few twists here and there. A could combo for an awesome movie. Will not spoil the movie for everyone. Beginning was funny, middle was exciting and a bit shockingly gross, and the end was a surprise. Thats all I can say.

Had piano concert on Sunday. Not much to say about that, perhaps only it went ok. But I missed YE... =( Well I guess seeing all of them two days in a row was enough.
Wanted to by a bouquet of flowers for my piano teacher, but couldn't find any florists around the area. Asked my parents to go find again, but to no avail. My piano teacher gave us all a nice bookmark each. Well... I'll remember to get her flowers next year.

No comment. Saying I'm not disappointed is not correct, saying I'm not happy is not correct either. Probably I'm feeling nothing about it. Better than some people, not as good as some people. Duh. Well, lets just work towards promos. And I'll start mugging more than two weeks before unlike this time.

Think that the length of my posts are increasing, while frequency is decreasing? You're probably right. It'll be like this until further notice, thus the change in post format. Hope you guys like it.
