THE MATRIX HAS YOU.

Woohoo! Check out my new blogskin...

Anyway, *phew* Just had a gruelling weekend plus a very busy Monday.
Had the Combined Youth Gathering on Saturday...it was quite good, as we planned. The crowd, even though as usual the CC kids didn't appear even after our invitation, was still quite good because most of the youth group members were present. Here are the Photos if you wanna have a look at what we did!

On Sunday, the youths had 6 pews reserved for mass!! But we only used 4 pews..apparently quite a number of youths didn't turn up.. Diarrhoea?? Then, me, Anthony and Aaron went to clean the BBQ pits left over from Saturday nite... Eeeww...it was SICK. Hahaha! Black sludge and goo.

Monday, me and a few youths cleaned up the Youth Room. Haha, go check it out if you're in church! The Room is spotless..literally. We moved all the stuff from the 102 cupboards to Room 104. Why??? Cos we're gonna start painting the room!!!! Yes!!! Was really glad that I had the help of these youths to clean up the room. It was really tedious to pack up all the stuff into boxes...cos the youths have been amassing lots of 'treasure' all these years..
Anyway, No Pain No Gain. The Youth Room is gonna be up SOON! WOOHOO!

The 'Full' Mayonnaise Jar...

This is from an email from Alex....very meaningful and interesting metaphor...

> When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in
> a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of
> coffee.
>
> A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front
> of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and
empty
> mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
>
> He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
> The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the
> jar. He shook the jar lightly.
> The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
> He then asked the students again if the jar was full.
> They agreed that it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and
> poured it into the jar.
> Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the
> jar was full.
> The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
> The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and
> poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty
space
> between the sand. The students laughed.
>
> "Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to
> recognize that this jar represents your life.
> The golf balls are the important things --God, your family, your
> children, your health, your friends and your
> favourite passions--and if everything else was lost and only they
> remained, your life would still be full.
> The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house
> and your car.
> The sand is everything else--the small stuff." "If you put the sand into
> the jar first," he continued,
> "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for
> life.
> If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never
> have room for the things
> that are important to you. "Pay attention to the things that are critical
> to your happiness.
> Play with your children. Take time to ge t medical checkups. Take your
> spouse out to dinner.
> Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the
> disposal.
> Take care of the golf balls first--the things that really matter. Set
> your priorities. The rest is just sand."
>
> One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee
> represented.
> The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that
> no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of
> cups of coffee with a friend."

EPISODE III ROCKS!

Revenge of the Sith is REALLY the most heart-breaking of all Star Wars movies ever! Gosh, it's almost like a soap opera at times.

1. Anakin and his love for Padme
2. Anakin and his final show-down with Obi-Wan, almost too heart-wrenching to watch!
   
3. The Chancellor & Anakin's super fishy friendship
4. The list goes on.....

Also, the highest notable and significant body count (important characters)

1. Mace Windu
2. Ki-Adi-Mundi
3. Aayla Secura
4. Saesee Tinn
5. Kit Fisto
6. Plo Koon
7. Basically, the whole Jedi Council except for Obi-Wan & Yoda
8. The entire Jedi Temple, with the younglings and Jedi Knights.
   
9. Nute Gunray
10. Rune Haako
    
11. Padme Amidala
12. Count Dooku
13. General Grievous
14. Anakin Skywalker (Of course, after this he's Darth Vader)

Well, now that the Star Wars Saga is over...What next?? Nothing else!!
Nothing else can match the story, the effects, the emotions, the action and adventure that Star Wars offered.
