learnings...

sleepless in wellington = no good.
came back from indoor soccer and KO on the chair, half-holding my dinner plate with the other half resting on my body. its surprising i didn't spill. danny took my plate anyway. and i crawled into bed.
woke up a few hours later to see arthur replacing me on the chair. haha...

anyways, i was thinking, after the quirks and weirdiness, there are also learnings of each other.

i learnt from carter what it is to stay up and be like a night security guard in his waking hours just to study. that even though he wakes up at 2 a.m. he is doing work until uni starts. determination. plays hard but also studies hard. how he asks questions so that he can understand and not blindly memorise. i still find that hard to do sometimes.

i learnt from arthur his stubbornness and how strong he can be driven. in his unique ways, he sends emails of 'how are you' with concern and yet with the simplicity of a sitting-down-have-a-chit-chat-face-to-face conversation and not of a formal dato. if you want to see someone continue to grow in Christian manliness, come and see arthur.

i learnt from danny how we are in a way, similar to each other in terms of characteristics but with each of our similarites driven at different points because of our different upbringings. not that we none of each, we just get that area polished more. i rub off diligence, goals and focus in studies from him, and he rubs of Christian characteristics, thinking and learning from me. and taking care of arthur when he's sick or not eating well. he is my friend, ex-committee member, OCFer, housemate, brother in Christ.

earlier, after i drafted the 'quirks', i so happened to stumble upon delwin's blog and saw his post about kairos. and i realised how much God had blessed and guided us in the little unit of wellington square. so, the creation of this post.

everyone's learning. if you have stopped learning, then that's a question you got to ask yourselves. why have you stopped?
