I finished reading the book yesterday. It was exciting, touching and most of all, uplifting.
A beautiful Monday, partly because there is no school, but largely because it is indeed beautiful. The gentle sun and the wind reminds me of just yesterday when three of us sat at the playground. There was not much to talk about, but silence was definitely not awkward, instead quite enjoyable. It is a joy to realize that Alaric is happy in camp, even looking forward to booking in. The way he talks about his poly kids radiates a heartwarming feeling about how much he has bonded with them and how much he loves their company. It is just great to know that a friend is doing well and genuinely happy.
So this is 2011.
It was started with unhappy feelings about the Moo relationship, which I deem quite stupid. May be I was quite dumb the whole of last year in trying to change Moo into what I called a more Christlike person, and in the process, turned myself into a less Christlike person. It was ugly. I am still a dumb Moo, just not in that sense anymore.
We left for KL, three of us. It was a trisome with me as the point of connection. We ate great food, we drank cocktails, we shopped a little bit (I really mean it), we visited places, we watched Paranormal Activity 2, we shared a room with one extra mattress, we got lost, we refused to be cheated by taxi drivers and we played Pictureka on the journey home. That was our quick getaway before school started.
I decided to do another major in Geog, my favorite subject of all time. I realize one thing about myself, I have all along chosen what I like, not what my parents or my friends like. It is neither good nor bad, it is just a me thing. So I am taking 6 modules for this sem and Geog mods cannot be more exciting in spite of the huge amount of readings!!!!
I also had a more serious thought about putting more effort into my Christian growth. I used to believe that it is more of a natural process. However, being in contact with more brothers and sisters in Christ from different backgrounds, I realize that it is also an attempted effort. It is a committment to God. Only when my heart is set to follow Christ, to truly seek Him in His words, to faithfully serve Him, and to give Him priority in my life, do I grow. So more in-depth bible readings, joining NUS cell, serving in pre-school,going to J333 once a month, being part of d/e comm for Crusade; these are the callings that God has given me for this year. And I am excited for what God has in store for me, for the people whom I serve and the brothers and sisters whom I serve with.
With Moo, it is simply peacefulness. Thank you for your love.
