hello there, this exists to help my failing memory remember things I would want to remember a few years down the road.

these are the people who stress together, who have many meetings together, who people always mistake as having meeting when they are just standing together innocently, who are rather different, who are rather workaholics, who calls their leader "boss". they are called Y-communications and i love them (:

the photo is all blurry but i edited the colours with what cong and matthias joined forces and showed me this afternoon before anniversary service. minops mixed around and had supper together in hope fashion aka sit-on-any-flat-land-that-is-seemingly-clean and chatted. i missed my last bus by a minute. philo and i alighted from the cab to see the bus zoom past across the road. but i think the fellowship was worth the cab, though i really hate giving money to cabs. ):

i guess anniversary celebrations always make me end up in a mildly happy, deeply proud, and altogether thankful state of mind. this year's anniversary celebration was less of a mega one as compared to last year but the whole punk rock theme is really well done. the bangkok guest band blew me away and i thought ps shirley looked so cool after ruizhen the stylist made her her canvas.

i guess this entire month or these few weeks, i keep seeing many images of the times that i served in Northeast and the happy, angry, frustrated moments flash through my mind. and all in all, i am glad it happened. when i hopped down Nexus' stairs to respond during altar call, it was but a "for fun" thing, much like how someone volunteers to go on stage during campfire games. i didnt take the decision as seriously as how many did. i would have never imagined God could use me, many stupid mistakes aside, many lousy ideas aside. it is the perseverance and wanting -to-hold-on that sustained me. and i think i have so much more to go before even creating some impact in His huge kingdom.

i wonder how many people think i am crazy. no doubt if i did not commit to church, i will seriously be the free-est person around, i can spend the time doing so many things. but, how many of them will last? after so time in Hope, i begin to see how imperfect the church is. you know how when you first know someone, everything is fresh and fun, but you gradually realise the flaws he/she has...? but what draws me is that the church's imperfections can look so good, so beautiful because the imperfect people and trying so hard to grow, to be better. such hearts really touch me. and we got a beautiful, perfect savior who will save the day, again and again. wishful thinking? nah, i believe we will get there. i dont know how long. but i will stick around to find out. 0 comments
