Boxing Day

It seems that I've turned into a nocturnal creature...n a beautiful one at it.

Just came back from keenan's place after breakie at Jackson's...gonna miss such things man after nan shifts to CHOICE retreat house. Oh well. Day started slack enuff with me just lazing online....didnt even bother going church today which isnt a gd thing...but somehow my family has been skipping mass. Then James n myself arranged to meet in the evening for dinner n stuff...so ended up meeting James, Alan, Darryl, MelD n Rachel for dinner...it was quite fun talking crap n hanging out...then the guys decided to play pool n Clemence joined us...quite an interesting game n I managed to win the last one by just keeping a low profile n letting the others kill each other off...heh...then went over to nan's to watch The Count of Monte Cristo...I found the show fine but nan thot it was too slow moving...heh but not bad lah I dont like the forgive n forget crap...there has to be some vengence man! n we had a gd time with our comments n predicting what was gonna happen...heh...
after the movie we lied down n chatted...talking abt a mixture of stuff...serious stuff...then 'girl' stuff...heh ;) oh n I bitched abt certain things in CSS too...heh who better to bitch abt it then to the president right? :p oh well...realised tt next sem gonna be quite busy...
then at abt 0526 nan decided that he wanted to sleep n I decided that I wanted to go have breakfast n make my way home...heh tt's when the fun began...haha nan kept pretending to be asleep whilst I tickled him...disturbed him...on the lights...threaten to sabo him etc. heh he even managed to lock me out of his room! heh but being the softie tt he is I was in again in no time!! haha so by 0550+ we were walking out to jackson's! woohoo!! so feeling guilty for dragging nan for breakie I decided to treat him...heh...
talked a bit more...I've decided to go for A retreat b4 sch starts...the thing is I have not decided which one....(1) Silent Retreat at Bt Tiram: I've been wanting to go for this silent retreat since last hols...the thing holding me back is the $90 cost...think its gd and I want this kind of concept where u do more reflection by urself...not really with others...no distractions n all...somemore heard from Joel tt the place is very nice n conducive. (2) CHOICE: nan has been bugging me to go for it n Ed has mentioned it a few times too...its much cheaper but it seems tt there's this grp aspect which I dont really want...asked nan abt the program but he said tt cant tell...n somemore charkwa shd be leaving on the 8th n it clashes with this...
oh well will be thinking abt this seriously n decide by this coming week...i really need at least ONE retreat to (hopefully) get me back on track spiritually...
whilst walking to the mrt I tried taking a pic of the full moon with my hp but couldnt really capture it...I guess many things in life are like tt...no eloquence of words or collage of pictures can fully capture the feeling of a moment...u have to be there to feel it in its fullest glory...even memories cant recapture the exact intensity of emotions.
Inspired by a few blogs...I shall do some reflection thingy of this yr soon...till then...
