Being a Son of 'Encouragement'...

EMERGE just ended today, which was literally a BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST!

*I can't describe how HAPPY~~~~~ I am right now!!! arghhh!!!*

Well, the MINT Cluster won. They definitely deserve it =) Nevertheless it doesn't hide the fact that EVERY SINGLE CLUSTER did their very very best!

And I can't deny it's really an honor and a joy to go to people, regardless whether from my cluster to other clusters as well, giving encouragement to them, big or small, words and actions, time and effort.

Was I happy? Yes.
Was it worth the while? Yes.
Were they blessed? I definitely believe so.

Thus I ask..

What is RM5 to buy 2 donuts to a person who has done so much, and has gone through the whole day with so much things in the person's mind? Or blessing the hardworking POS members with light snacks (i.e biscuits) to those who has not eaten yet at all? Or offering to buy mixed rice to a person who is busy correcting memory verses in the room all alone, and has not eaten lunch yet?

What is praying a sincere and impactful prayer to the people that I know, I care and I love? To a person who is coughing badly, and has a performance of a lifetime just minutes away, or to a person who is about struggling to do a thesis that is due the next day? To a person who is on a verge of burning out, or to person who really really needs God to be there for him/her?

What is bringing extra bandages to a friend who hurt himself while practicing POS? Or frantically asking around for Panadol to a person having fever and headache?

And what is sending encouraging text messages, or dropping encouraging words at Facebook, or Email or MSN to a person who is all stressed up with his/her assignments, presentations, exams? Or to a person who is very down, burned out, dissapointed , bitter, sad and angry? Or to a person who is going through a very rough patch in life, and needed someone to be just there to support him/her? Or to a person who is about to embark and enter into a new journey in life filled with uncertainties and crossroads?

There's so much more to all this.. and yet I find joy doing so. Why?


It's all because I strive to be a Son of Encouragement =)

EMERGE

Amen.

New job... New...haircut..?

Today was my official first day working at Kinnaree... a shop managed by one of my cell member named Natalie. A bit the 'kan cheong' when I wore the uniform though, which eventually cause a bit of delay for Nat to brief us. Nevertheless, I really did learn a lot, and for today, I learned the drinks and dessert menus, and was even given some 'samples' for me to taste and savor! =D

The first time I went there was to celebrate Sherene's birthday, alongside Anna and Esther. I must the food, ambiance, environment as well as the service is amazing! Credit goes to Nat for doing so much great work there, managing a great restaurant team, alongside introducing/pioneering some new menus that became topsellers in that restaurant. Definitely a good place to have dinner, for those who LOVE Thai Food.

And recently.. my hair's kinda like growing a bit long... should I cut it short.. or should I try to leave it long.....hmm hmm...

Examsssssssss.....

Managed to write down all 20 verses... Pretty much it was already expected, since it was the similar verses from the competition. =P Anyways, now the next priority for me at the moment is to have an unyielding FOCUS on my upcoming exams, which immediately starts right after EMERGE... (why did the college brought the date 1 week nearer!! It was supposed to start on the 30th!! T-T..)

At the moment, I've been 'googling' around for extra notes and ebooks on the subjects that I'm taking. Google really really ROCKS. I'm still trying to find an ebook entitled "Understanding Business"... If only I can get my hands on it... hehe.

Back to searching!

Second Chance?

Another round for a so-called mini "Word Power"...

Do you think I have what it takes for it? I'm scared I might be disappointed once again..

Strengthen and prepare me for it, Papa.

Moon Halo

Two night's ago (last Sunday), I was very honored to witness such a rare sight after coming back from 'dipper' (dinner + supper). This was something I've seen only once in my lifetime, and to be able to see it again... simply breathtaking...

I'm still wondering why Jireh wasn't very excited about witnessing it. But I sure do know, just by looking at it, I just felt so happy and relieved. Managing the Track and Field on that day was physically and mentally exhausting enough. I was even called a 'racist' by this contestant under me. Just because I wanted to field a mixture of Asian and African members, you call me a 'racist'? Just because I said that the Africans have been dominating this event, which eventually will cause them to win EMERGE every year, that you call me a 'racist'? I'm still a bit shocked about his remark and how rude this person was. He even had the guts to tell me he purposely wanted to annoy Raymond (Cindy's BF, who was the PIC of the entire Track & Field) just because he was simply doing his job. What is this guy's problem??? At that point my blood really got boiled, yet I knew I had to control my composure. I have yet to talk to his cell leader about it though... *sighs*

Mr.H, why your member like that?

Nevertheless I did manage to grab 2nd place for the eating competition.. not bad at all, knowing that I'm still participating for the 'secret' competition..My stomach feels small.. but my appetite is still BIG. My gum's are still hurting because of it... But yeah... I guess at the end of the day, God just brings joy to a person in many ways, and I knew this one was very special indeed =)

Looking forward to witness such a rare sight in the future!

And yet again, I'm still wondering why Jireh wasn't excited at all about it!!! Was it because he was too exhausted to look up to the night sky? *clueless*
