harry potter visits ben & jerry's

today's harry potter movie and ben & jerry's vermonster feast with e222 was absolutely awesome haha! thank God i still had the time to go home and change out after work, it would have quite a dampening effect if i didn't. i owe this to a good combination of workplace flexibility and cab service. (:

the movie was a little long but i think it was still great overall. i have no idea how phoebe slept halfway through. there were lots of humour and action all the way. anyway i haven't watched a movie in ages so it was really refreshing to step back into a cinema...

after that we went to ben & jerry's with some vouchers, kudos to the team that did human monopoly and got an impressive 2nd. it's my first time to the franchise so naturally it was eye-opening haha. an ice-cream joint! we ordered two vermonsters which were in essence tubs of ice-cream scoops of various flavours. it was almost unbelievable when people were just crowding around and digging into the heap of ice-cream, what an experience. (: in the end, we couldn't finish it and left the miserable remnants to melt into milkshake, haha. i truly hope i didn't overeat in our vain attempt to avoid wasting food, especially since it's sweet and sinful high-quality ice-cream. i think i even got a sugar rush; i was high all the way home. how a simple word can become the butt of jokes over multiple mrt stations, i don't know.

hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves as much as i did. haha! it's because of these things that i always look forward to the weekends after a long week. the cell group's so different but somehow when we get together, we make great company. (:

possibly God's fourth greatest gift to Man, i think.

sometimes all i ever wish for is a person who understands why i do what i do (or say and think, for that matter). there are so many things i want to say and explain and ask, but i can't. maybe it's because i haven't tried my best to do so even once, for fear of repercussions of various kinds. and let's face it, living for God and not for man is so much easier said than done. how many out there have dared ventured on their own into the world against society's expectations, or should i say social stigma - and succeeded to boot?

but the kind of support you can get from just one person who sticks by you and heals the heavy, burdensome labels cut by people into every part of your exposed body could probably make all the difference, and make the risk and effort in finding this person all worthwhile, simply because you know you'll never have to walk alone trying to live life to the fullest.
