2nd day of CNY... 'Just Follow Law'

Early in the morning, I woke up and did some marking of compositions. Work comes first before going out for play. Heehee.

After lunch, my mother and I took bus 64 to Dhoby Ghaut. Unfortunately, we missed a stop and had to walk quite a distance to get to Grand Cathay in the heavy rain. It was raining cats and dogs. My long pants were wet from the walk in the rain despite using an umbrella.

At long last, we reached the box office @ Cathay and collected the tickets that I had booked through the Internet. Thankfully, I brought my OCBC platinium card out that I used to get 10 per cent off for the purchase of the 4 movie tickets.

While waiting for Hua Chin and her mother to join us for the movie 'Just Follow Law', I brought my mother to Starbucks Coffee @ Level 1. Due to lack of seats, I bought takeaway caramel macchinato. Just when I was about to collect my drink, my kawan and her mother came. Heehee... we proceeded to B1 for Taiwan oyster mee sua together with my mother. The 2 mothers had a good talk in Hokkien while the 2 of us queued up to buy the food. We had a good time together.

Next, we went to Level 5 where I bought the medium popcorn combo with 2 ice lemon tea. We were just in time to catch the movie in Cineplex 6. I love the seats there... very comfy. We enjoyed watching the movie together. It was a good comedy show that talks about the real life situations that we civil servants often face... everything must go law by law... follow the rules. The moral of the story is to be creative and break rules at the right time... and be flexible to options and not be a stick-in-the-mud. Often, we do not see certain things till we are in other people's shoes. The key take-away from the movie is to consider the feelings of others whenever we do things, don't simply follow the rules and not show any empathy. Indeed, it is important to use EQ and be empathetic.

After movie, I was coughing badly due to the cold air-conditioning and the cold drink that I drank. I had to control myself not to take any more cold drinks for the time being. :-(

We took photographs for each other before asking a stranger to help us take a group photo of all 4 of us together. I had a great time going out for movie together with my kawan, her mum and my mum. Funny movie with great company. Hahaha...

Bid them farewell after the photo session. My mother and I proceeded to take the MRT to Bishan to visit my 3rd uncle and aunt. We had dinner together with my cousin Irene and her husband, Brett. Nice time chatting with them.

Hehe... being an avid photographer, I requested to take photographs together with them. Heehee... happy moments. Rare chance to meet up with my cousin to chat and take photos together. Managed to get my cousin's e-mail so that I can contact her... hahaha... can also msn chat. ;P

Well, fun times are coming to an end soon. As the saying goes, "Hao hua bu chang zai, hao jing bu chang liu."

One final round tomorrow... 3 stops for 3rd day of CNY. Feeling so tired now after a long day. Ok... time to sleep after uploading this post. <*-*>

{JUST BE who I want to be}

Just Be
Be strong enough to
face the world each day
Be weak enough to know
you cannot do everything alone

Be generous to those who need your help
Be frugal with what you need yourself

Be wise enough to know that
you do not know everything
Be foolish enough to

BELIEVE in MIRACLES

Be willing to
SHARE your JOYS
Be willing to
SHARE the sorrows of others

Be a leader when you see a path others have missed
Be a follower when
you are shrouded in the midst of uncertainty

Be the FIRST to CONGRATULATE an opponent who SUCCEEDS
Be the LAST to CRITICIZE a friend who FAILS

Be sure where next step will fall, so that you will not stumble
Be sure of your final destination,
in case you are going the wrong way.

Be LOVING
to those who LOVE you

Be LOVING
to those who DO NOT LOVE you,
and they may CHANGE.

Above all, BE YOURSELF.
