the 3Fs - food fun fellowship

chilling out at YCK til 11 plus
can really be so awesome.
all the great food and great company (:

yup, a christian life is that real-
personal struggles, disppointments,
setbacks & even clashes.
but it's all about building one another up!

i really felt that the session we had was just meaningful in its own ways
yup, christians ain't any better; we're still sinners
but most imptly
we ought to face it, together.
to solve it, together.
and of course we have God too =)

may we stay faithful, always.

Merry Christmas Darling

once again, christmas is here.
and since there was no service,
i went to check out SAC.
yup, they're uber traditional
but i like (:

always remember the first christmas gift-
salvation.

anyways following the service i went to meet up with my church kakis
about 13 of us namely:
jason
michele
magdalene
weide
lionel f
joshua
josiah
grace
elissa
faith
wendelynn
xinling
me

food republic to jalan jalan to arcade to bowling to dinner.
what a great day to spend with great friends.
i wished more could come though.
but there's always next time!

christmas has always been that special
and i doubt nothing can stop that.

christmas actually

it sure is.
musical's over;
that sure marks the end of my busy yet meaningful hols.
all glory and thanks to God for His mercies;
i lost my voice just a day before the musical
with coughs and phlegms too, was really worried.
but tonight, i got my voice back (:
my friends who attended told me i can sing very well =))
well, at least i still have some talent in me
and i thank God for that.
cheers to all the musical comm members too
for their hardwork, dedication and service
i think the musical has been a blessing to all =)

that aside,
what truly is christmas?
is it about the festive spirit?
is it about the presents we buy and receive?
is it about the glorious food we eat?
nope, it aint any of this.

now that's christmas,
amen to salvation.

sit back

it's sure nice to know
that you're missed and remembered by those around you
heck the one and look around,
and you'll be surprised about the things you discover.

"sometimes only GOD allows the other side see the harvest"
- a friend.

perhaps, perhaps that applies for you too.

why don't you do something

literally. i'm so bored at home.
even the wait before going out at 1 feels forever.
my mind & emotions have gone haywire a bit recently;
perhaps i'm still finding myself after all.

...
emotions are indeed powerful.
control them or they control you;
and you end up doing stupid things.
being impulsive & expressive,
it's tough sometimes.
sometimes you just wanna get things off your sleeve.
sometimes you just wanna let people know how you feel.
but nah, i ain't gonna be rash.
if things are meant to be or whatsoever, it will.
saying a few more words doesn't really change everything.
just that now, i'm hearing thoughts and experiencing emotions
which are so not me and it's kinda scary.

that for later,
off to meet fareez (:

btw,
happy 19th' hendra.

dejavu

don't let it affect you ben.
you took much pains to come out of it;
you ain't going back there again.
besides, you know he doesn't need you.

and at the end of it all ;

camp is finally over-
all the months of prep have come to an end.
what can i say?
i really don't know.
as far as i'm concerned,
i only contributed to 10% of the success.
the other 90% was by Him.

who would have thought
that the rain would be held back for games?
that no one was injured during the camp?
that there was not even a single day of rumbling?
that people were actually tired out of writing so much encouragement cards?
that we were not charged at all for all the damages done?
all glory to Him!

camp experience was definitely priceless.
learnt many things, saw many things, enjoyed many things.
as much i miss camp, im really glad it's all over.
thanks guys for all your help & support too-
my camp mistress grace & my dearest camp comm!
couldn't have made it without you all.
i'll talk more about camp soon soon.

i really didnt expect your arrival
and that you'll say to me, "i'm really proud of you."
i really really missed you.

we've got some straightening out to do

wow. i'm like meeting all church mates like everyday now
from shopping
to discussing
to planning
to printing
to packing
to eating
to whatsoever..
being all shagged and stressed and tired
but it's all good.
at least i know i'm doing something meaningful.

unknowingly, i think i'm starting to change
perhaps on the outside, everything's the same
but in my mind,
thoughts are different;
somehow or rather.
for better or worse,
i really don't know.
sometimes, i don't really bother anymore.
and it's a good thing, i guess.

but one thing's for sure
scars will heal in time
and you bet i'm breaking free (:
but yet sometimes,
i'm still confused.
how much should i expect?
how much is enough?
i'll learn in time i guess.
but for now,
i've got lots of soul searching to do
and learning what makes me me.

i bet the road ahead lies exciting futures
and boy, i can't wait for it.

we're all in this together;

we sure survived (again).

if a loser like me can do it,
so can you.

next week - camp prep.
a lil excited, a lil nervous, a lil insecure.
sure be needing all the help i can get!
