Call of Duty

It was a Wednesday evening, and one link led to another, and then suddenly I was watching all 10plus webisodes of Clueless Gamer with Conan O Brian. It is hilarious, by the way.

And then I had the itch to play a game again. I think ever since The Sims in 2009, I've not touched another game-game. And no, hand phone games don't count.

The woe of being a Mac user is that there aren't much games around, so I looked around the Internet to see what will be a cool game to play. I'm so out of date with the latest games anyway. DoTA? Don't know. League of Legends? Whatever. As I read reviews after reviews, the game Call of Duty came up. It's a first-person shooter, and it has already spawned 4 titles plus many spin-offs. Upon looking at the App Store, I found the original 2003 Call of Duty at $20. The latest one is $69. Okay! $20 it is!!

So, for the past few nights, I've been gunning down Nazis (in Beginner mode, of course), and tonight, I'm happy to say that I have completed the single-player campaign! Without cheats too, mind you.  Hee. It was a thrilling ride, and the graphics looked great even though it was from the last decade! And the gameplay, wow.. For 1 mission I was a Soviet peasant escaping missiles and bombs, without a gun, along with so many other AI peasants. It really forces perspective of the war on you. 

Well, it is a nice way of escaping our stressful lives. But of course, not too much, or we'll get sucked into it. That said, it was really fantastic to storm into a desolate city with your AI teammates, all guns blazing. Hah!

Maybe something milder next time.. Maybe.

When angry, do not sin.

I don't know what came over me today. I was slightly annoyed by a casual comment that seemed weighted. And with the lack of sleep, it made the mood worse.

However, rather than lung straight at the culprit, I decided to wait.

After 4 hours, 2 coffees and a slightly more alert mind, the anger evaporated. Then the analysis began. What do I do next?

And of course, with this approach, I managed to avoid a nasty quarrel which may end up becoming a futile argument about nothing in particular.

It's good. I mean, it's God.

No one else can change the heart, like You do.

These people are really siao and so dear to meeee!

I think we all came, more for the laughter, than anything else. That's probably 4 batches of Ntu champions right there!

'Twas was a good day, after many sleepless nights dealing with edits after edits after edits. 

Lpbt lives on!!

As We Go Sailing Home

 

Someone went on a sailboat today! Well, no prizes for guessing, it's of course, yours truly. It was for our 1st High Praise Promo video, about preparing our "sails" to catch God's wind. 

Waking up at 5am is no joke, but everyone managed to get out of their beds and we reached SAF Yatch Club on time. By 7.30am, cameras were rolling. Thank God I wasn't controlling the cameras, but it was Ben H and Jabez who helmed the cameras. I was able to sit back, and watch these two young men work hard. All I did was to yell "Time Check!"

(Sexy Ben focusing on Tze Fong)

It was great to sail out after finishing all the shots on shore. The boat is really quite small, and Tze Fong (THE STAR!!) taught me how to steer it. So while they were all shooting, I was given the huge task of keeping the boat on course. Wheee. And Tze Fong also said that it was rare to have wind in the morning, but there was a really good breeze pulling us along. God! You Are Here With Us!!

After a morning of the sun and the sea, I can't wait for the end video to be out! It's such a lovely experience. 

Well, even though now, the seasick is still lingering... Hahaha.

Puppy Eyes

This is Chewy.

He is the dog in the office. There used to be another dog, but he died early this year. 

Chewy has puppy eyes, whenever food is near. I wonder if puppy eyes work with humans.

I think they do.

I should have done more, in hindsight.

People and Distancee

So lately been wondering

Who will be there to take my place

When I'm gone you'll need love

To light the shadows of your face

If a great wave shall fall

It will fall upon us all

And between the sand and stone

Could you make it on your own

Heart Work

Heart work is heart. 

God, come like a flood and saturate me now.

Come like the wind and sweep throughout our church. 

Willing hearts. All we need are willing hearts.
