Watched Cloud Atlas starring Tom Hanks and Halle Berry.
Great cosmetics involved. It talks about how love in one's past life will continue in our future lives.
Coincidentally, I went into the New Age shop across my apartment last week, and saw a poster about this concept as well.
This show transends over 500 years. And halfway during the show, it made me think of my life. Flashforward to where I would be 50 years from now, looking back. And that I should now live fully to seize the moment.
Written by David Mitchell, I suspect the book will be a more insightful read, as it is pretty complex.

That aside, had got my university smartcard done up, so that I could use their library and sports facilities. Whoop!

Major sale going on too. Got a pants and new clothes for roughly 6 SGD a piece.

My flat has been rearranged, again. Managed to sell off a few items. Right now, giving away the rest. I am liking my space more.

Week ahead: Gym on Tuesday! First time in at least 6 months.

Very nice one on Finding your purpose - Caroline M
Stumbled upon this clip. Very englightening for me.
Quote : "Everyone has a path. If you have life you have purpose. It cannot be otherwise.
Have no judgements about your life, no expectations and give up the need to know what happens tomorrow. Be Fully Present. To appreciate all that is in your life right now, wherever it is whatever it is.
To these people in the depths of despair: You had your life focussed on something that didn't belong to you and and a path that did not belong to you. Someone that did not belong to you.... You lost track of being here."

Some More Discoveries in SG
I experienced being on public transport that had faulty train in the main interchange, causing trains behind and in the route to be unable to move. The staff did nothing to allay our expectations via the intercom as to when the problem would be resolved, leaving most waiting indeterminately during Friday peak hour.

Memorable Weekend
Today at church, we enjoyed Candlemas. Have been able to put aside the darkness in my heart regarding last week's events at work after that. Will take things easy, and let god show me the way.
I really enjoyed D's house blessing with Father on Saturday, and her whole group of bible studies friends. I had my fill of Tahu Goreng, Glutinous rice with Coconut Milk, Curry Lamb Shank, Curry Chicken, Saya Lodeh, Duck Meat with Cantoloupe, bor bor cha cha, cheesecake and fabulously smooth French red wine. Just felt so comfortable with the whole bunch. Loved it. I am liking going to church and meeting my new friends.
Also had my eyelashes permed.That too was a first for me.
During the week, I attended the talk by Prof J. It was eye-opening in terms of the Anglican's views on Marriage, Divorce and homosexuality. He said that Anglicans, in speech, should use words signifying "probably" instead of "in certainty". The thinking behind it is, that we not know the background of the other party, and so it is not right to make a judgement on others in certainty.
I am very thankful to have such a great round up to the week.
Looking ahead, I fly home this Thursday for a 10 day break.
