MEET camp

tomorrow, the unknown will be revealed. the MEET co. has been so secretive about the camp and even past MEET trippers were sworn to secrecy about this camp. well, i'll know what we're going to do..soon...

the last few days have been tiring for me.

15/12 came back to s'pore, straight for TM
16/12 TM (10am - 2pm) and JM (2 - 6pm). went to the botanic gardens for the 1st time since i came here and visited OMF.
17/12 church, mum and 2 cousins came, brought them round bugis and orchard
18/12 jalan at vivocity, TM (1-5pm), dinner with relative and more sightseeing
19/12 jalan at singapore river, suntec and bugis, send mum & cousins off, shop for face paint, TM (9pm and team slumber party at NUS - since our previous effort was not quite suitable.... we practiced so hard, but kena rejected)
20/12 our sups vetted our presentation (thank God they were happy with it), laundry, pack for camp

sorry, my writing a bit cluttered today. no time to write properly... anyway it was raining nonstop for 2 days. really regret couldn't take my mum and cousins to jalan as the rain ruined my plans. then running between doing MEET stuff and accompanying my mum. sometimes its really pushed me to the limit.

MEET camp.. am looking forward.. okla.. will stop here.

Recap so far

This blog feels like its going to pupus (go extinct).... k, time for some updating.

Have secured a job. Thank God I won't have to worry about unemployment upon graduation. But, but it means I have to really count my days to the end of my uni education, which also means having holidays, late mornings, can choose not to go class if don't feel like to etc etc...
Sad, sad, the next few years in auditing will no doubt cause me to age faster... all the stress and late nights... someone sponsor me some anti-aging supplement :)

Leaders' retreat was fantastic... although its called a retreat, I always say (and will keep to my stand) that it is never a retreat. Instead, we spend hours brain storming (sometimes till we storm our brains out I think)... it's all worth while. NOthing can be compared to the joy of serving our Lord Jesus. Though it may really s-t-r-e-c-t-h us beyong what I can imagine (doing ministry work instead of school work), I guess when I look back, its really by the grace of God. Am looking forward to next semester.... though I know I may have to miss some due to MEET.

As yes, MEET preparation so far has been mind blowing... doing lots of reading on Japan, their culture and all... reading about missionaries (just finished Hudson Taylor).. After reading and what we've learn through the trainings so far, I realize how shallow my thinking about missions have been. Am even doubting whether I can really be a missionary. I feel so inadequate - I know so little about Christianity (theologically speaking) and I just lack the guts to evangelise sometimes... argh! hope that by the end of the trainings and all the months of personal preparation, I will trully, trully be prepared to preach the word in season and out of season.

I am learning a lot... okok, got to get back to prearing my Christmas sermon. I can't imagine that I have to prepare one and it is to be presented to a group of ex-drug addicts!

Packed, packed, packed... had no time to just slack since exam was over... in fact running all over for interviews, getting things done... catching up with people... thinking about CF...

I want a job in ***! Thank God KPMG secured ad! hahaa... got a job before I even finish my studies! *beams* Now to work on the other interviews.... God I know you already know which one is for me... And regarding the Deutsche bank job (see previous post), I know its all in Your hands. I already gave up on that by not going for the interview... but out of the blue moon they called me again. So, I'll go this time and see how...

Just want to rest... but... aiyah... body aching from wearing heels. Wanna sleep but hair still wet... :(
