fantastic...

the little gathering was fantastic. shi hui, jansen & sharon, hui yin, phoebe, caroline, justin(yap), patrick, joanna, samuel, chok, ian, danny, jack (ocf sydney), justin & shermayne, stephanie(mok). a bit of a pity that daniel, edward, yvonne, wai kong and daryl couldn't make it.

it was wonderful to see justin and shermayne again. i guess as we add on more numbers to our age, the topic of discussion changes. we're now talking about masters, the basic struggles of the transition period, the lacking of quality time, callings and ministries, family, future.

i totally didn't know jansen & sharon were back for a while. back to take their wedding photos. its been... 2 years since i last saw them? awkward at first, definitely, but it just takes a while to get back into gear and have a kickstart in the memory. soon, each of us remembers what it was last time. and it was back to being monkeys. or just slightly more matured monkeys.

and patrick already graduated. i asked him how was his 3 years and he replied, 'oh, my journey ah? hmmm.. where do i start'... waliauleh...that's the sign of growth man... i guess as a 'senior' or someone who has left, i would not know what could or would have happened for those that are still there. i can only hope for the best and pray for them. i couldn't stop smiling at all.

i'm really proud of him. my wish and hopes is always for the juniors to be better than the seniors. its not about being a good senior to produce good juniors. it has to do with serving God obediently as seniors. what comes after that, that's for God to do. you would not know what could happen except just serve and do your part in faith. the amazing part is when you see what God has done through your service in faith. and these are just glimpses.

lastly, so sorry, joanna. i didn't mean to reject the hug. i just got a bit shy. i've been de-conditioned back to malaysia and not used to the hugging or hugging in the public already. my bad...
