"Some things just don't change. But others do."
I had my sec 4 class gathering yesterday! Really enjoyed myself, especially since I got to see everyone together again, after such a long time. It was nice to know that no radical change had come to any of us. The 2-5 bunch was still the same, girl-oriented bunch, along with a few others. Everyone still harboured the same soul that I'd seen a year ago. Gosh. It's been THAT long.
Well, the gathering started off with a movie, and what better than The Matrix : Revolutions. But of course, we did have to get everyone first now don't we. Something that disturbed me is how people can't just put off other things when they have an appointment. I don't care if it's a lover or what, but as long as it does not equate to an emergency, I don't see how people can just say "I'm not going" at the last moment - or worse still, not informing the organiser - without so much of a pang of guilt. ESPECIALLY when it involves tickets. Well I didn't let that ruin my mood though. So we were jollying while waiting for everyone to come, catching up with each other. It was interesting to note how everyone seemed to be enjoying their life, which was good of course. Knowing that my friends are living well brings me joy. I'm sure it applies to many as well.
Fast forward to the movie.
The show was good, which was contrary to what I've been hearing about it. I guess they still didn't lower their expectations from Reloaded. Not to say that Revolutions wasn't good though. It did what it was supposed to - provide a conclusion to the Matrix saga, as well as leave some puzzles for us to figure out. The puzzles I refer to are what the meeting between the Oracle and the Architect meant, and exactly where the Trainman's station is. I'll talk about the latter first. If you think about it, the matrix is all there is to the matrix world. I mean, there can't be anything more; the machines created it like that. So, my inquisitive mind asks: how can a virtual place outside of the matrix exist?
The meeting also demanded an answer. The dialogue between them seemed as though they were playing a game, and that the Oracle had won.
Ok, I think I shan't continue any further today. Dinner is awaiting, and my appetite compels me to succumb to the meal's allure. I'll cover the dinner part tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, I need to go to school for some OP rehearsal. Bleah.
When God Ran - Shaded Red
Almighty God, the great I Am
Immovable rock, omnipotent, powerful, awesome Lord
Victorious warrior, commanding king of kings, mighty conqueror
(chorus)
And the only time, the only time I ever saw Him run
Is when He ran to me, took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said, "My son's come home again."
Looked at my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said, "Son, do you know I still love you?"
It caught me by surprise, brought me to my knees
When God ran
The day I left home, I knew I had broken His heart
I wondered then if things could ever be the same
Then one night, I remembered Hs love for me
And down that dusty road ahead I could see
(chorus)
I saw Him run to me
It caught me by surprise
Brought me to my knees
When God ran
