Facing the Giants

There was a special sneak preview in our church for a movie that was produced almost a year ago, but never made it to singapore.. It is a movie called Facing the Giants, or something like that.. Thought it was an excellent, and very meaningful movie.. Highly recommended to those who play competitive sports, it really reminded me of my good old days in dragonboat, as well as that tedious 24km route march back in tekong days...


What it's about: The movie is basically abt some skl rigby team getting their butts kicked coz they really hav no motivation and hav potential that hav yet to be discovered.. Then their coach was abt to get the sack, coz he nv win anything for 6 years in a row. So that coach decided to giv God the steering wheel, let him take over, and somehow, the rugby team manage to win some top league team against all odds...


What i like abt it: Its nt like a very churchy movie, althou it kinda contained quite alot of Godly stuff.. It is more like a movie that mixes religion with a little bit of humour, and that happy ending that everyone loves.. Shows that with God, nothing is impossible..


Funny parts of that movie: (1)Assistant coach using bible verses to "teach" a kicker how to get that rugby ball through the goal posts.. Incredibly funny!! (2)Coach and wife combo at wife's florist shop.. The conversation put up was a dumb one, but nonetheless does the job of tickling me.. (3)That winning goal.. How the wind kinda juz changed direction after a prayer.. Dun think its supposed to be funny, coz its supposed to show how powerful God is, even until a point he can change the direction of the wind.. But the very fact that it changed, then that kicker (the one from the previous funny scene no.1), kicked that ball across half the field, falling down in the process, was funny yo me... (4)Last part of the movie, where wife tells coach she's pregnant.. Then he kinda cried... Was expecting him to be happy or at least overjoyed? In the end, he said he was overwhelmed, and cried....


Ok, enough of the movie.. Moving on to after movie topics... Around an hour ago, b4 this post was out, i was out shopping at NTUC with my parents... Shopped around, and saw something i liked, so i go take it, go counter to pay for it... I was standing in the queue, next one in line, when an Auntie+Uncle combo stepped up.. Said the Uncle in chinese: "See, no one here wat.. Queue here la.." And the duo effectively cut into my path, jumping the queue.. I am nt really mad abt losers who cant wait in the queue for their turn, but ignoring my prescence was seriously unforgivable.. Damn the size that i am at... Damn that 90kg mass of mine.. My mum has seriously been wasting money feeding me for the past 19 years.. C'mon, i am like some darn wall of fats la! And they juz pretended that no one was there... Singaporeans nowadays..(refering to that pair only, the rest of the country is spared)
