Umemployed: Day 10
In somewhat Singapore Serf-style, here we go. Hopefully the day count won't go into the hundreds. :) I've been enjoying the break; meeting up with friends, making up for my reading deficit during the sem. In the past month, I've been attending a leadership course at church; incredible amount of work, but it has been hugely rewarding -- I can't even put it in words. Steven Curtis Chapman -- only the singer-songwriter that I absolutely adore and look up to, not just for his music, but for the volumes that his life speaks -- is in town, and I'm off to watch him perform tomorrow night. No matter how many times I watch the "All I Really Want" video, it always reduces me to tears.
Despite all of this, I've been feeling restless by the uncertainty that plagues the future; excited, but restless nonetheless. I know, it's a rite of passage that we all go through, but that doesn't make me feel better. I have an interview lined up this Thursday, and hopefully the opportunities will start coming.

Seven books that I love:
1. Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis
2. A Grief Observed by C. S. Lewis
3. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
4. A Pale View of the Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro
5. Elizabeth Costello by J. M. Coetzee
6. Amazing Gracie by Dan Dye and Mark Beckloff
7. Boy Meets Girl by Joshua Harris
(I just finished A Pale View of the Hills last week; I can't believe that it's Ishiguro's first book. Pick it up when you get the time -- and I really mean that, because you won't put it down until you're done, and you'll want to read it a second time immediately after.)
Seven movies that I love:
1. Pretty Woman
2. The Miracle Worker
3. In Good Company
4. A Walk to Remember
5. Memento
6. Le Papillon
7. Hotel Rwanda
(I also caught The Miracle Worker recently on VCD, and it is without a doubt the movie to watch. It's an old show, an old story, but so beautifully told. When I was young, I sat through countless The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins re-runs on tape. When I have children of my own, The Miracle Worker will be my choice of television babysitting. Hurhur.)

Hey, next time when Steven comes, could you bring him to your place and lock the door... He can't just come all the way here for stay only for two nights! ;)
It was absolutely amazing. :) Did you manage to catch it? He did promise to come back to Singapore, because he and his family will be spending a month in China doing work on adoption awareness, so he hopes to continue to tour Asia.
Didn't... Cos only saw the news from your blog, and it was SOOO exclusive! ;) Oh well, next time I guess...
Yeah, my friend managed to get me tickets, so I'm incredibly grateful for that. :) Hopefully he can hold his concert at a bigger venue next time.
