Happy Girl For This Week!!
Finally went to watch Poseidon today. Thought what was so great about it, cos my brother seemed "shaken" after watching it.
My verdict is:
Like Titanic lor. Luxurious ship loaded with rich people met a natural disaster, then it crashed, many people die, some survive. How these people get out. Ecetera, ecetera...
I thought what. Then I remembered my brother didn't watch Titanic. It made sense.
Well, at least I think this movie will stir up people's urgency of living life like it's the last, compared to the "over hoo-ha-ed" Da Vinci Code.
But what I want to comment is the theatre which showed the movie. Theatre 11 is situated on the 9th floor of the Cineleisure Complex. After hearing the ticket attendant telling us that, I was pretty excited. It's my first time going to a new theatre!
On the 9th floor, the lift door open, and what I saw was tables and tables, with LCD screen. "So they have made it into a LAN gaming and entertainment centre" (It's actually called E2Max). The tables were rather empty though, but I guess it's because its a weekday. There's a ticketing and popcorn counter, and some small shops. There is an entrance that brings the customer to 2 or 3 cinemas.
I like cinema 11 the minute I enter it. It's a small cinema, very cosy like. It's not like those small GV cinemas, where the ceilings are very high. It's like a small screening room setting. For probably about maybe.. 50 people? I like it cos the screen is not so far away, and it feels like I am in my own private screening room. And the seats are so comfy! :)
After the movie, I found that there are little rooms lined up along the hallways for gamers. They are just like those karaoke rooms, but the rooms are furnished with a TV and a computer and a desk. I guess it could be rented out as a full entertainment room for the youngsters to study or game, or just hang out.
Singaporean youngsters are really rich huh... That these entertainment people actually design a space for them. To rent. Singapore now so advance liao... Good thing I chose to watch the movie there. At least I learn something new.

After the movie, went walk walk with friend. Wanted to check out "Missy B" outlet there, so drag her in with me. First time I walk into the shopping gallery of MM. Nice. But things look really expensive there. Well, of course, it's MM...
After that, I still wanna hang out, so we walked to Robinsons. I wasn't in the mood for shopping, so we got out of Centrepoint and walk towards Plaza Sing. Along the way, she told me that her cell group (in the church I used to go) will be "closed down". She says the leader cited a new baby and studies as reason for closing the group. And that the pastor will meet up with the members to work out where they can go.
The news surprised me abit. Because I have never expected their group to dissolve. They, I believe, are the only cell group left there that consists of young working adults, most of them actively serving in church. To me, this is a signal that there is crucial problem with way,the young adults group are being handled in the church. If this group is not working well, what about the rest? And I am guessing the reasons given by the leader is only a convenient excuse. I have seen him on several occasions, looking very tired after ministry. A common expression I have seen on many of those who served the church earnestly and faithfully for the past 10 years.
I hope this will alarm the church, warning them that the tier of people who stand between the oldies and the youth is crumbling. And if this crumbling tier is not fixed, and it collapse, there will be consequences.
I was hoping that my exit from the church will highlight some of the blind spots in the church, and that it will benefit those who may walk in my footsteps, so that they may be cared for by the church. Well, it looks like some things are taking place there liao... We'll see what will happen next.
Friend also shared about her frustrations at work, and she can't leave because she has committments, and she is does not have a special skill to move on further.
As I stood at the bus stop waiting for my bus, I thought to myself "You are one lucky girl. Even though you have always worked in small companies that doesn't pay you much, you are much a happier person compared to those of your friends who work in big organisations, but yet overworked, stressed and unhappy. So do you still want the money, or do you want to keep the happiness?"
