wow...it's really been quite some time since i've blogged! so much has happened in the past few months....maybe i start with my past week...
school's started already....2 weeks past already...this term's gonna be a bit tough..3 finance modules..dun play play...gotta focus much better than last term...be a good boy and do my readings...I'm enjoying my investment banking classes...ang ser keng really teaches e relevant stuff...unlike all e textbook-reciting profs i've had in my SMU life...he's really got me excited about joining the finance sector after i graduate...pity abt my overall academic results though...looks like i won't be able to get a decent headstart..gotta slog it out at the scum level for a long while to come =( ah well..nvm...i'm all prepared to commit most of my life to my work...e rest of the time with my BB..haha...work hard, earn enough to retire early..yup, that's my dream...
anyways, i went to Ministry of Sound this thursdays...it was a school bash event....just wanted to check out the place...heard it was cool..which it really was...they had different themed dance lounges for different music and different purposes...they had retro, house and r&b areas..but my favourite was this room call "Pure"...a totally white colored area with lotsa comfy cushions and sofas...bascially a lounge area...darn comfortable and cosy place to pose..haha..well...it was the first time i've been to a club in 2 or 3 years...got a good reminder why i really dun like clubbing at all...especially at school bashes...firstly, u always have the lame ass "entertainment" organised by the students...i know i'm being an idiot to not appreciate their efforts but i guess i've never been into the school spirit kina thing...hmmm...but ok lah...the hosts for this past bash were pretty good, although having a paegant during each bash just to satisfy the lusts of the ppl there will always seem awkward. i like being able to enjoy the music, however brain-numbing it is, and just thrash around to the beat like a fish out of the water...pity that e music that day was absolutely crap though..but when i went back, i'm reminded of how it was when i first went to such places during my jc days...the flirty glances and eye contact, teasing with ur body movements, ogling at the beautiful ppl. couple that with the intoxicating beverage readily available as well as the dark lighting and the effect grows even more powerful...i must say that the level of temptation to sin in such places is really darn high...it'd be really tough to maintain a life of Christian purity and still go to such places regularly... but what i really can't stand abt such places is the cigarette smell...it's just disgusting to inhale the second-hand smoke of these ppl who dun give a damn abt their own health.. my throat got really dry after i left e place...been quite sick yday and today also...must've gotten it from that place...looks like it'll be another 2-3 years before i even consider gg back to a club again? haha
ah..enough abt that...well...attended a YF meeting on friday...i must say that i was really encouraged by the effort and commitment put in by most of the ppl present in the meeting..Uncle John was really calm and collected in leading the discussions...Although he seems to act dumb alot, i've grown to respect Reuben for his input..really concise and to the point...but perhaps abit too blunt and aggressive at times though, but still, alot of potential there...he's someone who can really contribute alot to the YF...just need to remain grounded to the Word and avoid unsavory film and music influences eh? Really proud of Ezra and Peter, Peter for volunteering for a leadership position in the CG...he's told me several times that he wants to commit this year to being more involved in church work and serving God....that's always a fantastic aim to have...Ezra for making the firm commitment to leadership in a key committee as well as being able to voice mature and constructive comments durign the meeting. He's showing alot of commitment too...all at his relatively young age...will definitely try to help him out wherever i can... It's really heartening to see how the YF has grown and how the younger leaders have matured into their roles..they've bonded really well and i'm absolutely sure they can overcome all challenges as long as they depend on God for strength...Really glad that the adults have made a firm commitment to training and mentoring the younger ones...i can imagine all the frustrations that the present committee must've gone thru, figuring out just how to run the YF on practically their own after being assigned the leadership positions...maybe it's just me, but i kinda felt that they had been just dumped with alot of these work...still...all things work out for those who love Him =) Amen!
