bursting

my eyelids are becoming heavy, but something inside me wants to burst out and change the world.
haha. right now i feel like i've got so many ideas and perspectives of various things that im just afraid that once i try writing them down they'd disappear and i'd forget them before recording them in words. speaking to tim on so many mornings over the past month has taught me quite a bit. i daren't say i remember everything we talked about, but i feel that not a single morning spent with him was wasted. im really happy i got the opportunity to have that time with him, as well as get to know people like brian chee, winston and chris better.

friday was a rather special day because it felt like i was out there trying quite a lot of new things.
it started with a good study of ephesians with tim, ann and chris. afterwhich i went to run an errand before meeting junming at his place. from there we spent 30-40 minutes on the road, finding our way to the obscure place of thomastown to get my hi-fi set fixed. really thankful that junming so kindly offered to drive me down (or i wouldve gotten lost). actually, jon lee volunteered him. haha. the both of us had lunch as malaymas on st georges.
best prawn noodles i've had in melbourne. well actually, the ONLY time i've ever had prawn noodles in melbourne. :D it was pretty good stuff.

that was my second time in malaymas. the first time i was there, i didn't know it was called malaymas - so i'd always had the impresion that i'd never been to the famous malaymas before.
the moment i stepped in, i recognised it as the place daryl took mandy and me last year, probably when i was still 16. i was very fond of daryl, he was just like a big brother i never had. as i sat down with jun ming i told him that the last time i ate there, daryl had told mandy and me that if any guy were to have the intention of dating either of us, the guy would have to first talk to daryl. protective older brother. haha. good times.

things feel slightly different now, that we no longer hang out as much, he's so busy with his work, and he's got new commitments and interests (and so do i). haha mandy's still the same (though im not sure how long more before one of us move outta the cellgroup). :)

anyway, that night, i took over paik jin and compered for the night. compering's not something totally new to me, but doing it in ocf is definitely something different - from the crowd dynamics to the purpose of the night's program. it was a good experience.

there were new people in our cellgroup. we combined with pauline's group because many of the people in our group were MIA. it turn out quite well and i guess the best part for me, was to see that fabian, jack daniel, evelyn and clarina seemed pretty comfortably welcomed.

a cellgroup get together was arranged for last night as well because yongshen had missed out on our cell dinner and ocf the previous night. we all headed to kokoblack - including jack and son, another new face. son's a really interesting guy, i really enjoy talking to him, or even WATCHING him talk to other people and listening to what he says. haha. i hope it doesn't sound like im in love. well i AM in love, just not with him. LOL.

son made me realise how different everyone in the cellgroup is. seeing this difference made me feel like we've got even more potential to grow - not in numbers, but grow together, grow deeper in our relationships. i know i face certain challenges within the cellgroup, and i know that even though i really want to learn to embrace the differences we have as individuals, it is difficult. not impossible though. it's definitly one thing i wanna try doing this sememster.

haha. so i'm in my final hour of my mid year holidays. tmr is the start of a new semester. haha, i hope it's gonna be different. in a good way.
