another PTBC over.. another time of growing more in His word.

it was an intense 2 day period of talks, workshops and berean small groups. but i had fun nevertheless. slept a little more after gin rummy. we are continuing the game at foc.. and once again, i was in the group with most of the CFers.. there was zx, jx, cy and me. and zhen yang was in our group as well.. gotta meet ppl like hubert, john, simone, ying, beatric.. and our lovely group leaders, colin and joy.

so a weekend well spent even though i was really dead tired. it felt so good to be around ppl who were so warm and receptive. plus i got to see josiah and jessica! and played with jayden for a while.. guss i kinda miss alexis. then to appease my family whom i haven't spent time with for a really long time, i left PT early to catch Dead Man's Chest. now i'm eagerly anticipating the third instalment of the pirates.

i have to admit. i haven't felt this way since my first year in the exco. the fire never died.. it just stopped growing. i want to serve with my life. PT just fired me up even more. this one was exciting although i admit that the Vaughan Roberts PTMM has been the most impactful one. and D.A Carson is coming next year! i've truly been fortunate enough to have had such amazing teachers like Vaughan, Ray, Chapman, Tim Thoburn, Jackman.. i want that chance to hear Goldsworthy now.. or peter jensen.. or john stott.. or joshua ng.. *dreaming* but what Christopher Ash mention is a real worry.

it's so easy to get fired up when you're surrounded by like-minded ppl in whatever circumstance. a soccer player would be fired up during a game if he knew that the ppl around him are craving the touch of that precious cup, even though they only keep it for four years. it applies to all aspects of our lives. and even more so for me when everyone in the grp was abt the same age, all with hunger to want to know Him more.

i was comtemplating leaving the event for a while to learn coxing on saturday. but i'm so glad i stayed for small group. working thru the passage.. learning from one another.. lunch together.. plus it was during lunch where i met james and family. and though i was struggling to keep awake during the talks, whatever i got from it was amazing.

i'm just wondering.. how am i going to get my hands on the pictures that were taken during PT? i want the group shot. hee hee.. think this is the one grp that i won't be forgetting for a while, considering the fact that it's not an all-SMU one.




oh. the interview with the girls just now was good. they were really helpful and funny. after a while, peiying took my camera and started taking pictures... wherever we go, a camera will just pop out suddenly and they go nuts. we just love the camera. here's the proof.







oh! i nearly forgot! for those who have yet to see alexis, here she is.

isn't she just precious? and she's a noisy baby like me.. hee hee.. didn't manage to capture a shot of her when she was awake. got too excited. and she's gonna be a heartbreaker with those eyes of hers. so sweet and big.
