boo!

It's been a busy few weeks, and I didn't have a chance to reflect. Here's a rundown of October and early November.

October 27, visit to the library. I love visits to the library. You never know what book you'll pick up. We watched 28 Weeks Later, the sequel to 28 Days Later. I wanted to watch a horror/suspense movie to suit the Halloween mood.

October 28, service was good, the message was about God's discipline, and how he only disciplines those whom he loves. After lunch, I met with Tim and Evelyn to start brainstorming the Christmas event for Burnaby Baptist Fellowship.

October 31, Halloween! I created my Pugsley Addams costume, because several others and I were the Addams Family. The winner of the best costume contest went as Dog the Bounty Hunter, and the runner-up was a hunchbacked and ponchoed ghoul. I walked over to SFU for an Insurance Council of British Columbia meeting

November 1, after writing my CIP midterm, we went for hotpot in Richmond, to celebrate Corina's birthday. The food was good, and I definitely would have liked more meat. We followed dinner with bubble tea, where I got a grape ice cream sherbet. That sounds like a cold drink, doesn't it? It arrived warm, and the ice cream hadn't melted, so there were scoops of ice cream left in the cup. Not very well blended. The conversation was fun, as people talked about old Chinese singers and their classic songs.

November 2, I met with Tim and Evelyn to brainstorm further for the Christmas program. This day was also eventful because it was the first time I watched Yugioh in German.

November 3, I caught up on my reading of Harry Potter, and House, Scrubs and the Office. We watched the Vagina Monologues, which was a fairly good show, given that it was basically one lady sitting on a stool for 90 minutes.

November 4, The message talked about how competitiveness within a family can make a family weaker. We had lunch with Rachel and Rob at Sasaya. It was Marisa’s birthday, and we went to eat all-you-can-eat sushi. I had the best chopped scallop cone ever.

November 5, I went to the HipHop class, and was disappointed because we didn’t get the teacher that we expected. On top of that, we lost 15 minutes of the class. Hopefully the next lesson will have better teaching, and last the whole hour.

November 6, I finished my assignment for this week, and talked on the phone with Jennie.

We're a month away from the office Christmas party. Already? Time flies so quickly nowadays. Soon it will be Christmas break. Will it feel more like Christmas this year than last? I remember last year Christmas came and went with hardly a moment's notice. Let's hope it's time well spent with family and friends.
