Report 4: A Week in Review, Good News Bad News

So as I look back on this week I find that it was full of ups and downs. Each time there was a high, inevitably a low was soon to follow. So for this week's blog entry I have arranged it with good news and bad news. For each situation I will reveal the good and bad news, than explain in more detail what was happening. So here we go:


Good News: I found a church and went to it.
Bad News: I was a little late and by the time I got there the service had ended.

I missed the service by a few minutes. Some of the peopl were leaving while most remained behind for refrechments. I debated staying and meeting some people, but I decided that would be a little akward and it might appear that I had only showed up for the food. However the coffee smelled like home and reminded me of the corner of fifth and jackson. I almost expected Jack McMillen to call me over and teach him something over some coffee. So I think I will like that church and will wake up a little earlier next week.


Good News: I went rollerblading around a park on the east side of the island
Bad News: I was not wearing sunscreen and the back of neck is red.

Danielle, Michele and I went to a nice little park called Pasir Ris on the east coast. We rented rollerbaldes and skated around for an hour and a half to explore the area. While there we saw a water park that we decided to go to before we leave Singapore. So although the rollerblades made my feet hurt, and left with a blister, the trip was a nice afternoon.


Good News: I experienced watching a soccer match on TV with people that cared about it.
Bad News: The game was so close that a bar fight broke out.

There was a huge game on the other day with Manchester United versus Arsenal. The two top teams in the league. So I went down to Hall 8's common room to watch it with Sascha (Manchester is his favorite team). I joined about 30 other guys in a small room to shout and yell and cheer. The atmosphere was like the superbowl. Anyway, the game was close and Arsenal scored a goal in the 94th minute to win the game. It was great fun. Oh, and I was just kidding about the bar fight... that would have been good news.


Good News: I switched out of chinese class and into Film in Asia
Bad News: It conflicts with another class so I cant take that either.

So now I found a leadership communication class that Juio is in and he likes it. It fits y schedule so I sent in the paper work today. Hopefully I will know for sure by the end of this week.


Good News: I booked all my flights for spring our spring recess trip
Bad News: Because I stayed up all night I slept through my first class the next day.

Our trip plans are all set. We are going to Bangkok, then to Chaing Mai in Northern Thailand. Taking a train and seeing other sights on our way back down to Bangkok. Then we are flying to the capital of Cambodia to take a bus to the temple city. Spending a few days at Angkor Wat and then flying back to S'pore. It should be loads of fun and I will post more details as we plan. And the class was my web design class, so I should not have any problems making it up.


Well, that about sums up my week, as a side note my belt broke. It didnt have any good news to go with it. But it broke anyway. It was such a good belt. Revearsable. I have had it for almost three years now.

Untill Next Time!
