camp is getting more and more distant. it feels different when you're a camper, and it feels different when u're a committee member, different when you're full-time prayer warrior, different when you're a grp leader, different when you're just in mm & helping out in program. all different. maybe because i was less involved. but stcamp has always been a special time of the year; the memories, the battles fought that was won or lost, the lessons learnt, the amazing works of God, the successes and failures, the friends made or not made, the new skills learnt and refined and of course, the new lives redeemed.
will it one day become no longer be effective in fulfilling its purpose of reaching out to the lost? there are better resources, better means? i dunno. God knows. many of them come for the games, even tho they know they'll hear ppl talking to them about God. and somehow God blessed us with very creative and humourous ppl around...even tho each game event has many learning points to learn from but you don't get better than this outside. so do they really just come for the games? even after 4 years? is there something more?
anyway i'm trying to take some rest. coz it's been a jam packed week. why am i so busy?? 2 weddings these saturdays. and messy tuition timings. and with my other pianst taking a long break, i dunno how i can handle playing every week without a new pianst coming in. (i could don't play everyweek la...) but is it too late to pray for one now? it wasn't something we didn't know will happen. these are the times i feel stretched and feel like i wanna take a break too! (maybe it's playing piano too much during the camp and this week and the next and the next and the next, then playing at the wedding, and the thought of playing every week) it's scary. :S because it's so easy to be calculative about how many times i play (how ironic...it's getting unplayful now), and it's so easy to fall into the trap of obligation instead of serving. the line is fine.
on a lighter note...Ww and me went to Cream Bistro for dinner coz Ww was having course somewhere around orchard..and we have this 1-for-1 discount thingy. oh..my Seared Ginger Cod fish was yummy...and i felt cold so i drank hot choc but Ww drank ice-cream iced coffee..so unlike him (coz he always orders hot coffee) Food is such comfort food. who isn't happy eating?
i'm looking forward to our outing next wed....we booked each other's 24hrs of wed, it's like taking a holiday in singapore...we'll go somewhere..in singapore. you'll know then. it's been a long time since we've done such stuff liao.
we're finding ourselves in a stage of life where ppl around us are getting married and are just like going through this stage...and so many ppl in my office getting married this year (3 leh...enough to break record). what's with 2006? ha...
