ok well havent really gotten down to blogging bout the hols and coming back to London yet. since coming back the first qn ppl ask each other is usually 'so how were ur christmas hols?'. and to every person i'm asked, i'll say 'Good!' with a big smile. because they were really good. really enjoyed my hols, maybe even more so because they were only 4 weeks long instead of 3 mths, like the summer hols.
i felt like the mth back was 'maxed out' haha..wif time spent wif qian n hui at home just talking and lazing in the room, or going out together spending lots of time debating whether or not to watch a movie..ha..wif time spent wif jianen everyday whether long or short but always special, wif time spent wif church frens, e 4 of us meeting up, going out for late nite suppers /movie outing even until the next morn (seemed to haf more of that this hol), caroling, camp, sleepovers..wif time spent wif mg frens shopping, pizza ordering and watching a scary movie ha.., wif a short meetup but fun dinner with jc gals, and also time with the whole family, jus sitting ard and watching tv together, extended as well where we finally met alyssa and alex and alex was sooooo cute.
now, back here again, and it feels like it's another life almost. getting back into the routine of waking up and actually eating breakfast (which i did v little in spore bcos i woke up in time for lunch :p ) and then trooping off to sch..everything feels normal, but the feeling of missing ppl at home is still always there. but but. like jianen always says, aiyah so many times already, u shd get used to it. which is true, i'm getting used to it. it's another 6 mths to home, but i shall try my best not to think of it that way :p hehe. meanwhile, must work hard and play hard, and I thank God for giving me a bunch of housemates wif whom u kinda experience less 'homesickness' heh :) to everyone who jus started school..jiayou and work hard! the term will be over really quickly, and time will fly past :)
yesterday's hub was a little bit of a struggle for me, firstly struggle whehter or not to go, and then struggle on how to go about doing what i'd heard. i'm glad i went, and it was a good msg. learnt about the urgency of evangelising, and that it was really, a matter of life and death. and we are merely ones who have received mercy, and a ministry, each one of us, which should be our purpose, really, on Earth. How do we get sold out for God? how to live a life every single day pointing towards Christ? really difficult. the speaker said a line which was really impactful to me. 'we are really just beggars pointing to beggars where the bread is.' and also, 'in the last 24 hours, every single one of us deserves to go to hell.' so true..but yet with God's mercy we can be saved. hmm..really a challenge to live a life fully for God.
