Haha.. Just back from Day After tomorrow.
And before that was a manicure session and before that was Around The World in 80 Days.
Yes. I watched "Around" again. Heh.
Its free this time though. Was out with Lydia, Max & Kiat. And its always nice to go out with them. Coz most of the time, Kiat & Max would offer to pay. hahaa.. *opps* :p

Max paid for the tickets, though Kiat wanted to treat us to it. But Lido's ticketing counter doesnt accept NETS. Hence, Max generously fished out his $50 note. Hehe.. Thanks Max! :D
Kiat paid for the drinks and popcorn, about $10.
And Lydia & I paid for our dinner. Didn't want to spend on the guys. They are nice enough and not as if they are earning alot. Lydia & me paid about $10 each. At Burger King. Heh. We were all not too hungry and decide to just have some snacks. But Kiat had a double whopper meal leh.. thats big! hee.. :p

After dinner, Max left for somewhere. Lydia & I had a Manicure appt at PerilNailz at Far East at 7:30pm and Kiat went somewhere to rot while waiting for us.
I finished at 9pm and rushed off. Lydia wasn't done yet and she'll meet Kiat after that. I had to go. Coz Mum's waiting for me at Northpoint! We had a show to catch at 9:25pm. Thank God for MRT. Haha. It takes me just 20 minutes to reach home from Orchard. :)

Rushed to Yishun 10 and then collect the tickets, to the washroom and to the theatre. Good show I had. Many revelations as well. People just can get so stubborn when you tell them facts and they don't listen to you.

In the show, this boy, Sam, was told by his father to stay indoors during the storm and not to go out. All the people had been hiding in the National Library. Just when they spotted people outside walking about in the snow, trying to seek safety elsewhere, they tried to follow them as well. Sam tried to tell the police officer that his father, being a climatologist, has already advised that they stay indoors and not go anywhere. Or they'll freeze to death. But the police officer felt that they'll just wait for death if they stayed on. So most of the people left. Except for a few.

Well, you guessed it. The masses that left together with the police officer, died in the end.. it was too freezing cold.
And the boy, his father promised him that if he stayed where he is, he will definitely go to his rescue.. the father promised the son..
Yes. The father kept his promise. Withstanding all impossibilities and the cold freezing weather, he walked his way from Washington to Mahanttan's National Library. And he found his son and a few others locked in a room, where all the surrounding area has already been frozen to ice. He opened the door, and his son and the rest were sleeping inside.

Revelation: As I was watching the show, I just had some revelations from it. The masses that chose to walk out of the library just coz there were some other people also doing it were just like the people in the world today. We have already been told that if you do this and stay put, I'll come to your rescue. Obedience is the word. And trust. Faith. The boy knew that his father would come to his rescue. Even when others doubt it. He knew that his father said that he would come and he believed deep down in his heart that his father would. And likewise for the father. Even when all hopes were gone. As they were walking to Manhanttan, they saw corpses almost everywhere. Even his companion feels that Sam might be dead. But the father said, "I made a promise to my son, and I will do it."
He did it. And it was so touching in the end. Both who believed in each other were glad that both trusted in each other. They hugged each other and nothing else was needed. They didn't say anything. They only hugged each other. Very tightly.

That is our God. My God. He fulfills what He has set out to do, what He promised. Jesus would come again. And He'll judge all. Would I be willing to do what He has commanded me to do? Would I obey? Would I trust and believe that He will fulfill His promises?

Yes. I trust in the Lord. And I know that He'll come.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life" John 3:16

So many people chose to go the other way. They think that they can have a better idea and better chance of surviving on their own. They refused to listen to the people has the expertise. In this case, suddenly, I just feel that Sam is like Jesus in that scene. He was telling people what to do, but none believed him. They rather walk out of the library in search of something hopefully better, when the place where they are, is the safest place to be in...

Sam's father, Jack, has told Sam to stay put in the Library, and not try to get outside, or he'll freeze to death. Sam knew that his father is a professor in that field and has the expertise. Who else can he listen to other than someone whom he knew that he could trust in? God send Jesus to the world, to preach the Gospel, and to tell mankind to repent and trust in Him, believe in Him, but most refused to listen, to what is true.

Its just so sad. People always think that they are right. God says, come to me, that you might live. People chose to go away. I can be better elsewhere. Human. Man. Thats why we have all fallen short of His glory.

But I thank God that I'm now a new creation. The old things have passed. And I am made new. With His salvation. Jesus's sacrifice. His blood and body saved me. And I thank God for my salvation. :D
Hallelujah!!!

And even as i'm moving on to a higher level in my walk with God, I pray that God'll strengthen me daily, cause my being to be so sensitive to the Holy Spirit and that I'll have ears that'll hear and eyes that'll see.. Hallelujah!
