sociology test
slept at 430am yesterday... coz only then did i finish studying 2 topics of the test. supposed to study 6, but i didn't have time, so just spotted 2 topics... good thing that the topics i studied did come out today. we were supposed to choose 1 out of 4.. i wrote on "Why is it difficult to define the 'family'?" I just wrote whatever came into my mind.. i think it was all crap, but well, it's my first socio test and i have completely no idea how to go about answering a socio question, so just have to wait and see what results i get!

25th september
went to church today.supposed to meet T,but in the end didn't...the speaker had so many powerpoint requests and playing of DVD which our church laptop can't read.thank God that we managed to find someone who has a laptop with windows XP.phew...after that,me and LW had to teach our youth class.passage was on the prodigal son.the son was tempted to explore the outside world and to go his own way which caused him to end up in helplessness and despair.finally he decided to return to his father,wanting only the status of a hired man,but his father accepted him as his son,and even held a celebration for him.indeed,our God is a forgiving God(but remember,God does get angry with our sin).
played badminton at hong kah north cc after that.quite fun,but so long never play,so deproved a little already.
anyway,just chatted to PL over the phone.hvnt heard her voice in ages!ha,last time during project serve almost see her everyday.yup,ha,had a gd and meaningful talk just catching up with one another.thanks for the little chat we had!enjoyed it!it added some joy and laughter into my life!=)heh heh...

grandfathers
i have 2 grandfathers..sm ppl think tt grandfathers r all e same.well,i can say,definitely not!haha..my 2 grandfathers are very very very diff.my dad's father is someone rather difficult to get along with.he likes to bring up past issues and he enjoys complaing.whereas my mom's dad is a taxi driver who's really nice to all of us.he wld often pay us visits n wld buy gifts 4 us n he'll give us money when he strikes lottery.e sad thing is tt he is a non believer.it's interestg...because he knows my dad is studyg in a Bible sch n tt we're financially tight.so he wld help us by gvg me money for my uni educatn n he wld always want to reject my mom's ang bao to him coz he knws our situation.yet on the other hand,my other Christian grandfather(dad's dad),he keeps tellg my dad not to study there any more.he doesn't evn encourage my dad in his studies.so as children,we wld of course kinda prefer my mom's dad...haha..ya..but as i think abt it,despite my dad's father's character,i knw tt deep in his heart,he stil loves us all.i rembr tt in the past,he wld also buy things up to my house to give to us.s ppl grow old,they tend to get grumpy n a little unreasonable.recently,e doctor said tt he has "lao ren chi dai zheng" aka dementia...meang tt he wil slowly forget thgs n if it gets really bad,he'll even forgt how to bathe or how to eat.when i knew about this,i thought to myself,i better treasure him and talk to him now when he still can remember me.if nt it's gg to be too late.n for my other grandfather,i'v been tryg many diff ways to bring the gospel to him.i hv copied the gospel in chinese in a letter to him.i've shared w him abt some stds comg to know Christ.i've asked him to come to church.n he said he will la,once he quits his job as a taxi driver then he wld be free on sunday mornings.e nxt thing i'm going to do is to invite him and my grandma for my baptism and i'll share my testimony in hokkein.each time i think of them and knw tt they r not saved,tears wld jus flow out of my eyes.i realy do not want to see them die without knowg Christ.it's my deepest prayer tt they will cm to knw Christ.

youth fiesta
today was the long awaited team event that me, D and M had organised. turn up was much lower than expected. and i guess all of us couldn't help it but to be a little disappointed. there were more helpers than students. and well, yeah, like that lor. we prepared for 50 people. but ended up only so few came. R told me that numbers don't really matter, ya.. i mean, i know, but it's definitely kinda disappointing. to all my church friends who came, i wana say, "THANK YOU so much for coming down all the way to help out in this event" i really appreciate all your help and everything. to all the aunties, thanks for preparing all the food. =) ya... will just see how things go at the evaluation on monday. but i'm glad for the few students who came... especially the RV girls. they were so happening and so exciting and so fun to be with. really enjoyed my time with them! yup. no matter what, wana thank God for seeing us through and bringing us through the event. but i think we probably did not work hard enough for our publicity. though i went to do st pub a few times, but there were no sign ups and students just don't seem to wana come. they have their own stuff to do lor. yeah...... ok, that's about it. finally can get a good night's rest!!! =)
