Thoughts on a certain conflict, plus movie outing with NATurals

I'm not going too much into details regarding a certian conflict that happened recently... but after having read KL's blog recently, I have to admit that it saddens me greatly to know that such friends can exist. Imagine your closest friend for many years turning his/her back on you and badmouthing you unexpectedly... making false testimonies about you and a few other friends. Reminds me too much on Anakin Skywalker turning to the dark side and betraying his mentor Obi-Wan, leading the 501st legion of Clonetroopers to exterminate his brothers and sisters within the Jedi Order and even turning against his own wife, as seen in Star Wars Episode III... now that is really heartbreaking. I was so angered by this, I had to (literally) SUPERKICK this person off my MSN list for good. Still contemplating whether I should remove that traitor off my Friendster list as well...

So ya, cheer up KL... don't brood over it too much ya? I understand what you're going through. I pray that you find the strength and determination to move on... I've been through this kind of situation before. Hey, you still have other friends to count on, right? As far as I know, there is one friend who will never turn His back on you, abandon you nor forsake you... His name is Jesus. The cross is a reminder of how much God loves us by sending His Son to bear our sins and die for us. Likewise we should learn to forgive and forget. It's her loss anyway...

Yesterday Mother and I went for a rather emotional Good Friday service from 9 to 10.30 am... then we went for lunch at good ol' HK Cafe. After which, I got back home to get changed and take train to Dhoby Ghaut... met up with Karen, Estelle, Michelle, Irene and one more guy (sorry, forgot his name!) at the 7th level of PS, and we went to watch the CGI-animated film titled "Horton Hears A Who!". After which we went for early dinner at the Kopi Tiam, then I stayed behind at PS to look thru some cool toys sale, and headed back home at ard 7 pm.

This movie titled "Horton Hears A Who!" (simply known as Horton here) is very very nice, flawless in nearly every aspect. Horton (voiced by the very talented Jim Carrey) is a sweet-natured and lovable elephant who risks his life to save a speck of dust from oliberation... having sensed that the speck contains a civilization (Whoville) containing millions of people, governed by Mayor Ned (voiced by Steve Carell) who has 96 dautghters and a son named Jojo (voiced by teen singer Jesse McCartney). Ned and the citizens of Whoville succeed in saving their own city from being destroyed in a pot of boiling beezelnut oil (having made a lot of noise with instruments and shouting very loudly), Horton forgives his tormentors (mostly monkeys) in the end, and he even forgives Mrs Kangaroo (the main antagonist) by handing over his cookie to her (to the backstabber, I really hope you're reading this!). All the animals in Nool then headed towards Mt. Nool to place the speck where it belongs.

The saying by Horton is very true... "a person's a person, no matter how small". It's like us humans living within a speck of dust among many other 'specks', and God as the unseen presence who watches our every move from above (as seen in the very last scene of the movie before the end credits start rolling). I rate this film 4.5 out of 5 stars... a must-watch for kids and adults alike! ;-)

All creation is an outstretched finger pointing towards God.
