In the midst of a flurry of camps. Had Business FOC and Campus retreat back to back, and now Rag camp in 2 days.

Am physically very tired, but also feeling like I'm in a good place in my life now. Just celebrated my first spiritual birthday. Woot! Can't believe that it's been a year. I'd like to think that I've changed alot - for the better of course. But I know that I still struggle with the same insecurities, the same sins at times. But nevertheless, am truly grateful for the disciples that have come into my life to help me grow. Indeed, God works through people, otherwise, how can you expect to "see God"? He's obviously not going to send a bolt of lightning or a burning bush or part the clouds to talk to you.

It is through His children that you see Him, and I'm blessed with an awesome bunch of brothers and sisters in the kingdom.

I am also very thankful for old friends like Qing, Sherry and Sen. Our friendship stretches back to literally one third of my life. (!!!) I love you guys and I love the way I can be myself around you all:) Qing is going to faint, but it is really my hope that you all can get to know God - trust me, He's a pretty awesome chap.

And even though we're not that close, I'm thankful for NUS Bizaders whom I hang out with. We may have very different personalities, but I am always surrounded with laughter. Bizad Club rules!

And of course, Hall mates whom I share my living space and consequently, my life with. You girls are the best neighbours ever, and you all are the reason I love Sheares Hall. :)

And my family, even through all the squabbles and annoyances, I love you all loads. (The feeling is mutual,right? Right??? :p)Although I definitely think we can handle our relationships alot better, it's a family that, for all its dysfunctional quirks, will stick together.

I'm looking forward to the starting of school. Just being immersed in the hectic schedule of academic work, CCAs, and balancing everything with being a disciple. I know that I need to rely more on faith, and not be so "geng" (as Van would say..) Opportunities abound, and I hope that I will make use of all that God has blessed me with, but also really to remember that there are somethings that I can control (which I should give my best to) and somethings that I can't (that is His territory). Like what Jesus says, each day has enough troubles of its own, so why worry about tomorrow?

Truly, when my spiritual life is doing good, everything else seems to fall in place.
Now to back my words and faith with deeds. :)
