last (of the sem 9) LM

as the sem draws near to an end, it's time for the final weekly life meeting...

filled with thanksgiving for everything good in the sem :)
Jo was as usual able to chant out all the names of the post grad students PLUS their field of study. she's amazing.
Janice was thankful for Brina... and she prays for more Brinas (to which shifu gave a really funny enactment :D)
Wai teng & international students :) so thankful the efforts are so fruitful :)

movements everywhere! JUMP~!! :)

and now... my long rambling thots :D
===

i dun like LMs to end... i feel that no fellowship should stop because of exams... throughout my course of studies, i've never seldom skipped my youth fellowships because i know and believe that when we honour God, he honours us. tho of cos there are times when i want to just be rebellious and go out to watch movie or slack or do project or just run away from church cos of the numerous responsibilities... whenever i return, i see God's faithfulness. he will not deduct our time and efforts if we seek him first... on the contrary, i feel that he multiplies my time, that i can do what he wants me to do, and even more, all the things i want to do. that i may not even do if i managed my time myself.

it's great to see all the juniors again!!! ahhs. the crappiness of wilfred, the hospitality of anna who reflexly got me foods of all kinds! it's great to see new people, the year 1s, jonathan who misses joshua hahaha. the food prepared by our alltime patron, auntie rose~! pasta plus rice... only auntie rose will do it la. there's a new food item... what i thot was beef pie... anna said it's pudding -??? blueberry pudding. i dunno how to put it nicely, so if i may just quote shaun:

it's spreading blueberry jam on bread... take it to smash and blend... tada~

while i saw many juniors, also didn't see many juniors, miss richard, joel, waiteng, genius,... was whining/lamenting on this point to makmak... he mentioned how while his batch were good leaders, they weren't community builders. hmm... beyond good leaders... there's an urgent need for community builders? community seems to be a recurring thot on mak mak's mind... can't wait for his crystallised thots..!

as my workplace was the nearest to nus, i didn't think that it's a surprise that i reached first... but it's very sian when ppl keep asking me if shifu was coming... if pearl and howai is coming.. if josh is coming... haha. wrt shifu, i proclaimed if he jio and pangsei... wah... cannot lydat la... hahah. i dunno how to continue the sentence...

he arrived just in time for the leftover cookies. hahah. janice wanted to leave food for him de! but when we wanted to.... there was alr no food left to leave for him :/ oops.

we chose the seats near to a powerpoint socket cos he wanted to do work... later then he tell me actually he still got work to do, but he know if he jio and pangsei, i will definitely nag say him :P (i guess this is a major difference...chemistry and understanding is just not enough... it takes acting upon these) finally, shifu being the people person he is... gave all the ppl his full attn... and didn't do any work that night. we didn't even get close enough to put the cable into the powerpoint socket. that's so him. in a good way. i believe work shud never take over the priority of people.

the last LM totally exhibited another gap between shifu and myself... the guitar skills. haiix.
weiling throw stunt suddenly want to close with a praise and amos didn't practise for the song, there were no chords, so want to play also cannot play. honestly, i believe with the chords, amos would hv really played well even without practise. so somebody went out to call shifu in (who should be on the phone with terence who was asking him to hurry up go over for loy kathrong :P) and in he come, strap over the guitar... and started playing and totally stirring up our joyful hearts. i hv to confess that it's so enjoyable that it became a little very distracting :P and it's not just me okays! i saw louis popping his head over at shifu everytime he does a nice strum!!

shifu happened to have Loy Kathrong celebration after LM with the Thais. so we didn't get to supper with the juniors this time round... which i feel is a pity... would have loved more time with them :)
