Packed

You won't believe how packed my schedule is. It has been since this short, warm retreat with the usual gang (Bell, Eric, Wei, Sam, Violet, Eunice, Emily).
This time, I got another one of those unforgettable, memorable surprises. (: Can't think of any other persons who would be as sweet. Thanks guys.
Next came the Youth EE clinic wave. Frankly, I struggled. Struggled to do Youth EE the last time, struggled with OJT, struggled with follow up, struggled with the effectiveness, struggled with deciding to go for this 2nd Youth EE. Adeline knows my evangelism journey so well. And she can atest to all these crazy things I went through. The nights where I just go on and on pouring out all I thought. Amazingly, or rather by God's grace, I have taken the step of faith to go for the 2nd Youth EE clinic.
It has come to an end. But what comes next? I have no idea.
I fear, I doubt. It has always been there. Maybe it's innate. I don't know. But yet I have decided to go. I sound contradictory.
The 4 days have been over. It's been pretty good because I have been given the opportunity to see that it's possible. That saving lives sincerely is possible. What I doubt, what I fear, can be void. Yet again I am reminded at how some are so self-centered. Not stopping to give others the chance to hear. Not being sensitive to the needs of friends.
In the midst of the 4 days, it's sports duty at TJC. quite a good experience. but tiring. besides, it's at BEDOK. distance.... man.
Add all these activities pilling on top of one another... and you get Wen who is a little physically tired. It's not ending yet. Still more to go throughout this week.

So Men Think They Are Good... Heh

A story was told of a scientist who came to haven with a great boast.
"Finally," he declared with a test tube in his hand, "after centuries of accumulated research, we too can make human beings."
"Really?" Angel Gabriel asked. "From what?"
"From pure dust from the earth." the man asserted with great confidence. "And that makes us equal to God!"
"I see," said Angel Gabriel, rather cooly. "Well, let me check with God."
He vanished behind the great golden doors at the end of the hall. A few moments later, he returned, shook his head sadly, and ushered the scientist out of the hallway.
"But just what did He have to say?" protested the indignant man.
Answered Gabriel as he closed the door on the departing scientist, "God said that you have to make your own dust."

Over

Phew. Relieved. That ends the exam marathon.
It feels good.
No more guilt when you sit and watch TV
No more worries when you are just bumming around
Heh.
That's life.
