What a wonderful day haha... thank God! :D the BBQ was great, think the freshmen... sorry i mean, newcomers :P really enjoyed themselves... got to know Kenny, one of the younger brothers... very blessed by his conversion story, and oh yes, so glad to see some of my dear brothers and sisters from the NUS side coming over! :)

After the BBQ, we watched "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" with Shirley, YF, Robert, Ziyun, Edwin, Junting, Daisy and Hanyew. Was a really thought-provoking and sad film... 2 bros, fighting side-by-side... end up on the opposite ends of a dispute over their nation.

Robert was giving his interpretation of the title, as how it related to the film, of how the title can have 2 ambiguous meanings: one being that the wind goes swiftly through the barley, causing the barley to bend over, like the guerilla forces moving through the countryside, but the second meaning being that after the wind blows through, the barley stalks return back to where they were before, implying the futility of the resistance, and the continuation of the old way of things.

Junting, YF and me were going, like, "Wow..." haha... think it's very interesting! :)

Oh yes, YF passed me a gift tt she and Mich bought on their trip in Vietnam. Very touched... :D tks a lot dear sisters! :D really super-blessed by u guys...
