hi. i'm feeling so tired now.
Physical tiredness from the past few days in church camp. Mentally numbed thinking about whats coming up immediately after today. i'll be attending both junior and senior Camp Orion - a Christian camp organised by SYFC. (30Nov- 3 Dec, 5 Dec- 8 Dec).

with the knowledge that the camp will probably drain me of all my energy ( carrying our haversacks, moving around Singapore completing obstacles + 1 Peter bible study, different campsites), i'm praying that God will grant me the stamina, and perseverence. i'm excited, but at the same time, i know it'll take a heavy toll on me as a group leader/participany. pray that i'll be an encouragement to my members.

Oh man, i'll be missing the coverage of the SEA Games, most of it, now, i'm really really sad and disappointed. How i hate it these few days when i felt so detached with the rest of the world, especially the Biennial Games. *sad, sad, sad :( :( :(*
felt so relieved when Pastor brought the newspaper yesterday
i guess it wouldnt make much of a difference anyway if i were to catch it, with 1/2 hour of live coverage which only screens the highlights daily. really ridiculous you know, how do you expect Singaporeans to render their support for the TEAM when there're no live events shown (except Opening & Closing ceremony & the soccer matches-which is a waste of time watching, given the consistently dire performance they put up. Can't they screen niche sports , i think more Singaporeans will bother to support Joscelin Yeo or Ronald Susilo or Li Jia Wei, names that have made it up there in the competitive world stage. Its so so silly, we're only allowed to view local workers tugging away in vain in a barren field instead of watching our athletes extracting gold from a rich mine.
Nonetheless, nothing will deter me from obtaining the latest results. get it over the internet.


church camp was a success in certain areas.
thank God for the smooth execution of progs, well done, committee members!
thank God for i grew closer to my group-mates.

i'll keep the rest of the thoughts to myself.

rest well guys.

hopefully the church camp - 'Get to know you' will serve its good purpose and meet its main objective.

well, its a Monday and the start of another week again... i'm into my 2nd week of Project Serve...
Lord, help me to remain focused.

hi there. alvin cheers.

an eventful past week indeed.

went to send leong off with some of the others.
haha... the penguin parade.
well, we havent been really talking & communicating & associating & relating in the 3++ years.
But we kinda been seeing each other quite often as of late..
Hmm... i kinda felt like i'm gonna miss him for the 2 weeks, which brings about the burden to encourage & support him, so thats why i brought myself to be present yesterday night. ha..

you know, upon spending bit more time with leong and after (sub)conscious observation, it kinda raised in me this old issue in which i strongly identify myself with, and also i can fully understand and agree with.

so there, reflecting and pondering about this in these few days.

i thought i've passed that stage already, given the environment that God has placed me in now, the church community has been placed up there in my social ladder of acceptance. i've seen a change in me over the years, the past year especially, being more willing to spend time with the church and also loving the church more and more - i've voiced out more frequently in church now , being involved more etc..
breaking the silence i'm satisfied with, or indifference that i felt to bro and sis- in christ.

you know what, i kinda felt that that happened because the better options are not readily available now.
(thepresent options are the worst, thats why church has managed to sneak itself into a high place in me now)
So truthfully, the church is the 'best of the rest' .

of course even before that there will be the 1 or 2 people whom you'll accept as likeable company, opening up that coveted place in the heart. come to think of it, are they really that close?

gosh, i miss the company that i felt so comfortable with, all emotions, all willingly and openly spent then.
which brings out the real 'me' in me.

why this double standard?
did God confiscate this bunch of people & made it out of reach to me, shutting off all other cozy options because He wanted me to have true fellowship?

i guess so, thank you Lord.
there's no other better options for me to accept other than the church now.
i'm living with it. help me Lord to stop thinking about it.
