O Holy Night
God's Angels guided me throughbrightening darkness; removing obstacles
to have seen me thus far
Secrets of the woods become secrets no more
For God has commanded me to share my experience
with those whom trust and don't
as the encounter would witness and stand
and show the greatness of our mighty Lord
God bless
God's child

Praise the Lord
Saturday, January 30, 2010"I wish the 3 of them are still with us." "I wish no one has left." "I wish everything's still the same.""But who doesn't?" It's been a really fulfilling 2 weeks, and that kind of friendship forged is something that rarely comes by. Not saying that I haven't had any experiences of similar sorts, but there are really rare. A year ago, I told my fellow cheerleaders that the friendship should not drown with the diminishing of the competition, but it faded away nevertheless. Not saying that it's always gonna turn out that way, but what if it does? I'm learning to take a step back in this kind of relational aspects already. Putting in too much can also mean that at the end of the day, it's gonna take us lots and lots of efforts to draw back even a little. Regardless, my quote applies even here. Anything could be an option in everything, yet they may not be sufficient to fulfill themselves as valid reasons to substantiate our lacklustre efforts. Therefore, (to me) perhaps it's really ridiculous to say things like, "I dare not commit too much into any relationship for fear of getting hurt." If that's the case, then try not to get hurt? What's with the reluctance to commit? Anyhow, as we've moved on from the departure of the 3, things have seemed a little harder to cope these days. No doubt, people are opening up and sharing has in one way or the other become more effective, but the absence of Van's unique presence (and voice), Shane's intellectual inputs, and even Denise's sweet voices and smiles of concerns have been deeply felt. Of course, no one speaks about it in Serve. Everyone puts on the front as if they were really strong, but the void has been a torturous one. I've toned down quite a lot and many people had been asking me why did I look so sad all the time? Even Michelle commented that I was a quiet boy in the group. I haven't even realised that! I hope all of you all are doing really well in the new environment, and things get really tough to really sustain the stretched distance between us- simple task like to keep you guys updated of our progress and even things like having a discussion. I really do not know where to begin. But yet, I do not want to exclude you guys! Because you guys are forever part of the 11 whom started out together as random people whom didn't even talk to each other. Markus, I'm really thankful to have fallen into the same group as you. Remember how we met. The first day of serve- that dinner, when me, you, ben, and Joel had a little chit chat outside the building? I really desire someone whom I could talk to, and I really thank God for dropping us into the same group. Despite my seniority and sometimes being a little aggressive in the way I wanted to pick up pace, I thank you for having served me by accommodating to me, to really listen and acknowledge some of those advices. You are a really nice guy and a great leader! Van, I cannot recollect what was our first ever conversation was about already, but yes! I thank God for introducing you into my life! Really thankful! Because you've been such a marvelous character! The way you conducted yourself, the way you involved others, the way you related with us, and above all, the way you brought joy into the group! Thank you! And yes, I really love your singing! You're sorely missed, like really! Esther, you were the last to join the group! But that didn't stop you from overtaking those whom I might have spoken to earlier to in my heart, and believe it or not, you were one of the few whom I'm really close to in Serve! Thank you for trusting me and sharing things with me, and I really hope this friendship between us will last beyond many years to come. The fact that we've a common friend in Janell is really a bonus already! Love ya! Isaac, the guy who's always online; or rather the guy whom we always turned to for food! Thank you for being my grandpa! I believe that was the first thing I told you immediately after finding out that you are an Isaac, that you are my grandpa! It's amazing how things begun weirdly in their own ways, one or the other, but I'm just glad to have come to know you! Simply because you are so nice to talk to, and you're close to a zero-temper guy! Thanks much, bro! Denise, the one whom I have least difficulty to regard as a sister! I really do treat you as one! And not forgetting how you were one of the first ever ever person I talked to during the dinner! You came to our table and I was talking to Kenneth. I still remember how awkward you were sitting at the corner, and soon after we went into the same group, things begun to change! Really glad to have you in our group, and your smile (and your blurness, not sure if you really are) never fails to lift up my spirit! Thanks sister! And thank you for the photos too! Mark, my father! I don't know how a Mark became a Judah's father, but yes, since you were the one who had decided to "adopt" me, I shall just take it that you love me! Having you in our group surely had been fun, especially during the camp. I'd never forget how you influenced the whole group to go after your "yea yea" and "whatever"! Thank you ah pa, for helping me integrate into the world of 17 years old! Shane, the special one! Indeed, you are very special in our group, and I really did appreciate the things that you've shared. Those had really shed new lights onto things that we might have understood as an otherwise! Thanks Shane, and even more so for the keenness to serve God and minister to your fellow brothers! I appreciate your care and concern for us, from which I've felt so much genuineness and sincerity! Thanks bro! Shay, who has been otherwise known as Sien Du! Thank you for opening up your heart to share with us your personal struggles and problems! Really thankful for entrusting us with them. We, I at least, felt treasured and trusted, and I'm sure you're aware of how it feels to be appreciated in one way or the other. It's never easy to make ourselves transparent in front of people whom we've barely known for not even a month, but yet... The rest of us do have much to learn from you! Serverknights love you! Brandon, I purposely leave you at the last! Thank you for having been one of the forces that had pushed serverknights forward. I really do appreciate your insightful sharing. I'm not sure if you had been aware, but my character could have been the most different from you, yet we've come through thus far, and as much as I'm aware, you must have been trying hard to put up with me, so I'm just really thankful for that. Indeed, who can bring 2 people with personalities of polarities together and work wonder through them? God can! And I just want to thank Him for you and I just hope that we might be able to work through all those differences and grow closely together after the path He has taken before us! Thanks once again! Siyu and Michelle! Our beloved undergrad mentors! I'm not sure if we have been a bunch of fun people to hang out with yet, but I'm sure Serverknights love you girls! Thank you for being such great mentors! And Michelle, I'm not quiet if you have known me better. Oh well, in any case, don't forget us when you all head back to Aussie! Pastor Francis, the cool guy! I've had 3 proper conversations with you, and zero deep ones! Yet, I'm glad you are posted to our group, because cool people come to Serverknights! HAHA! I really do hope that Serverknights can really grow closer through this phase of preparation and lessons, and that we may be able to have a fruitful journey during the mission trip! And finally Serverknights, "I know that we will move on in our lives back to our different walks of life, and these memories will not be as vivid as it is now. we wont have the time to msn and skype every night and we wont be able to sit and wait for one another to reply messages…but i know these short period of time was indeed as fantastic one..the photos on facebook will never fail to put a smile on my face." Quoted from Van! This kind of things do happen indeed, regardless of how much human efforts we are willing to put in (a reflection upon the attitude of my previous entry). Yet, difficult remains one thing, and impossibility remains the other! Let's hope and pray that this fellowship can really last beyond many things and years to come!
