The Crying Game

Man...I don't know what it is...but lately for some reasons, I've been really into the 80's tunes...I've been listening to a lot of Sinead...I must say...the 80's did produce some rather memorable music...I hope my pal Speedo doesn't get hold of this post...considering I was verbally bashing him (in the most respectable way of course) about his love for the 80's...seems like he recalls a lot of the 80's considering he's only a year older than me...oh well...the only thing I can remember from the 80's is "Wacko Jacko"...good times...anyway...it's not that I don't acknowledge that the 80's produces some of the finest music of our time...but calling it the "golden age of music"??? Man...that is just wack...you know what I'm sayin'?...'high five from Sam...he knows what I'm talking about'...so yeah... I've been listening to Boy George's 'Crying Game'...I can't seem to get that tune out of my head...I catch myself humming that tune whenever no one is around...it's a nice song none the less...I remember how that song was constantly on repeat over the high-fi system like it was yesterday...so...enjoy...

Don't want no more...of the crying game....

The Inevitable Update

Mornin’ troopers…how’s the fort holding up? Anyway, just to get formalities out of the way…I sincerely apologize for the lack of updates…I don’t explicitly know why I’m doing so…because…maybe life is really mundane here…not that I hate mundane…in fact, thrive in it…just that sometimes I lack the skills to juice up the unexcitable stuff.

So it’s now week 4 (or rather the end of…) which means works has been steadily pilling up…which is always a bummer…somehow my mind tells me that work load should increase as I get deeper into the course, but my body just is unable to keep up…but like always…by God’s grace…I will cope…

Well, week 4 is quite an extravagant event for NCS (Newcastle Christian Students/Society…don’t really know)…it’s typically known as evangelical week…so as the name suggest, the NCS members will be frantically promoting their evangelical events running throughout the rest of the semester…so, as FOCUS is part of NCS, we too are helping to promote those events…more specifically…our Friday talk entitled “Why didn’t Jesus come to my country”…which is not really a talk aiming at evangelizing…but more as an introduction to Jesus…hopefully, that will get them curious enough to join the other organized evangelical programs…

Anyway, our FOCUS group decided to set up a free coffee/tea stand in front of the library’s computer lab to facilitate our promotion of the bible talk on Friday (did I say it right….sounds funky)…anyway… like mom ordered…I took some pictures (actually I gave the camera to a friend and told her to go crazy)…so enjoy

P.S, I think I write more than necessary…I must learn how to compact my writings…

That's Tana, she's a pretty cool chic...she does a mean "talk to the hand" gesture
Penny Lane a.k.a Rockstar and The D-Man (FOCUS worker) having a chat
Yoong doing the stereotypical "asian pose"...I put this up to illustrate a point...oh and she's quite a fan of Dad (as in my Dad), because I told her Dad liked Duran Duran, Backstreet Boys and trance music
Matt filling up the thermos
Yours truly indulging a Tim-Tam cookie with a nice cold polystyrene cup of fresh milk...oh and that's Ruth to my left


Oh, by the way...it's just a coincidence (or maybe not a coincidence, depending on how you look at it) that there were mostly girls in the pictures...First, i didn't take the pictures...someone else did...but really, Matt was effectively the only guy helping that night, I was just there to take some snap shots (did my shift on Tuesday)...so there you go...
