VBS - Son Games 2005

Sunday, November 20th, 2005

Came back to Ipoh on Thursday. Haha  already have things to do. This time it was my church’s Vacation Bible School (VBS) for kids. I helped out as a helper for the 7-9 age group. It was a great two days…really had fun but it was really tiring. This year the theme for VBS was Son Games 2005. ??? What ??? Son Games like Summer Games..so Son Games….very Olympic themed VBS. Each day of the VBS there was a day theme.

Day 1 - ‘Join In’ - Wasn’t around haha…cause I was coming back from campus. But the whole day was themed Join In. Come, don’t care who you are cause you are important in the Kingdom of God.

Day 2 - ‘Keep On’ - Keep On..don’t give up cause God’s with you. The Bible story was about Paul on route to Rome when his ship was caught in a storm. Really great day…but really haha so tiring by lunch time.

Day 3 - ‘Let’s Celebrate’ - Win or Lose…let’s celebrate. If we win, Praise God if not, Praise God also cause we also won in many other ways. We need to be thankful to God always.

The three days was indeed fun. Last year when I helped St. Michael’s Church with their VBS I had loads of fun. This year also I had loads of fun. Sometimes it’s great to help out in these activities. It helps you to remember that the Kingdom of God is not only for the adults but all…………

On a negative note…hmm…recently there was a big news about Jessie Chung, the girl who was actually a guy. Hmm…until now I’m still havin problem addressing him as him or her….okay…oh well…He was married recently to a guy and it was a grand affair…1) It was very expensive 2) It was the first gay marriage in the country 3) it was endorsed by a Christian Church

Okay my comments on it…Don’t get me wrong..I’m not agaisnt gay people. haha….I’m agaisnt people who change their sex. To me…if you are a guy be a guy…..God made you tat way. If you change your sex then you are changing wat God has made you as. That’s like becoming God yourself. To become God yourself is like saying you’ve done something wrong God..and I’m doing the rite thing for you again….hm…but I think most humans are like tat. Sigh we are all still man.. "For all have fallen short of the glory of God" 

UPDATES

Sunday, November 13th, 2005

Hmm….it seems I have not been blogging for the whole week. I think it is high time I update about myself to you guys. Thanks guys for your smses and also nice little notes during the past week. It’s been hell and your notes really brought some light into my life.

I’m actually very happy that the semester is going to end. It usually means that I have to do a mega reflection about the whole semester. This is the part where I start to see what I have learnt the whole semester. No I’m not saying about the intellectual stuffs but more on personal growth. I did grow in many ways especially in serving.

I started the whole semester with fear in my mind. Fear of serving, fear of going through another year. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not scared of serving in CF. I enjoy serving in CF but serving as Vice Prez did sent shivers behind my spine. Why? Well loads of reasons. One…will I be able to back my Prez up. Two…will I be able to juggle with work since I’m VP for CF and also the EXCO in the Lembaran Council. Questions that I realise God has a certain way of answering. Not only did He saw me through the semester. But I can safely say that I survived.

My spiritual life has grown too. I realised that I’m beginning to pray differently. I’m beginning to think about others before thinking about my own needs. I realised that I’m beginning to pray for everybody I know. It’s something new to me cause all these times I use to pray for just my needs. ME ME ME. Haha But God has changed my perspective in that. "Bless others so that they can bless others too". So I’m beginning to be people-orientated. But I’m still learning cause it’s really tough to be that. I’m still learning to let go of past hurt and also my ego in meeting new friends. I really thank God for Max (Mr Prez) who has shown me so much on what humility is. I really truly admire his humility that he is able to mix around so easily.

Personally in school, I realised that I’m more laid back. I’m studying but not really as hard like the past two years. This semester I’m more relaxed although once in a while the tension does come. I guess already in 3rd year makes you feel that it’s a routine every day. I guess it is. Even my friends are relaxed. This year we have not been really going to the library very often. Usually we go everyday but this year haha…….we seldom step into the library.

Friendships have grown this semester. Old friendships have become mature and new friendships were formed. I have come closer to people in my course and also in CF. I have found some great friends in some Juniors who just entered and I really feel old. haha..well circle of life they said.

All in all, this semester have been indeed fruitful. What has God installed for me next semester? Well I’ll just wait and see……..

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005

Yup this whole month is like a countdown for me. Firstly it’s countdown to final exams. And you know what, I’m not stress at all. I should be you know but don’t know why I’m not. Still cool and calm. Maybe it’s the timing. Two weeks of study week sure does help to calm someone down.

The next countdown will be NC countdown. Still searching for a bus to Genting Highlands from Ipoh. Worst come to worst, have to wake up early and to catch the 6.30am bus to KL and then to Genting after that. Hmm… But I’m excited to go. It’ll be nice to meet back some old friends and also to meet new friends.

The last countdown is the LaSallian Convention. Did I mention that it’s one day after NC so it’s going to be a full two weeks of camp for me. Haha. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to it. Cause I skipped last year’s convention (in a way). So this year since I’m staying for the whole week, I’m really looking forward to it.

Well that’s about all the countdown I can handle so far. Oh of course if you are counting in Christmas and also New Year……..
