ICFs & YAGs & CUs & Home Groups & Churchs

On ICFs
Two weeks ago punya ICF dinner was funny. We were talking about pain. Then Scott said if you are a male and you go to the doctors because you have a pain in the abdomen, the first thing the doctors would do is to check to see whether the balls is still intact or not. He was embarrassed in saying the word balls and keep stopping and laughing. Then Audrey added that when the Singaporeans male goes for check up before their national service, the males have to be naked bend over and cough for the hernia test. Then Esther cleverly changed the subject about it going to snow. But the subject came back though and Nilu tried to change the subject again but it was not really a success. That was funny! (I wanted to tell this along time ago but just remembered)

That was also the week that Jas and Meryl did not go. Both had test.

This week's ICF was quite nice. We went to Keungs. Again. We learned (well i learned) about the big picture of Jesus and that he's this Big and Powerful God and our ideas of him should be big. I do think of Jesus as my best friend as he knows everything about me and I tell him stuff that I wouldn't tell anybody else. Jesus also did guide me and helped me this whole year. But Esther reminded me that 'we' can't just treat Jesus as our 'buddy buddy'. He is this Awesome and Powerful and Sovereign Lord God. Well, I do think of him as that sometimes when it is mention in sermons and studies. I do think that I should keep remember that. I know he is all that and more. But we do have a personal relationship with God right? So, how to be personal and God-fearing too?

I don't know. I just have to ask for God's help. I guess it can be done.

On YAGs
I went to Young Adult Group yesterday night. That was my second time. It was fun as it was games night. The only sort of disappointing thing is that everything was in Mandarin: the songs (2 out of 3), the questions, everything. I'm not sure whether would I want to go to next week's.

On CUs
I did not attend this week’s Bible Talk. Was too lazy. I know its bad. But sometimes they don’t finish before two and I have a class at two, so I don’t get to hear the end part which really is ‘argh!’. I don’t know whether should I attend next week’s.

On Home Groups
I have attended all the Home Groups so far. I don’t know how I feel. It is nice to be able to learn about the Kingdom of God. Which is what we’re doing now. I quite like home group.

On Churchs
I went to the morning service today. Mandarin again. I’m feeling quite sick of Mandarin now. There was these delegations from China and there was the Minister of Religious affair. Wonder what is that all about. So the four back up singer was formally dressed especiall the guys were wearing suit and all. There was a baptism too + 6 in the Cantonese congregation. There have been 2 baptisms already since I attended the church.


You know what, I think that when we study the Bible, people like to over complex things. It does make me think though. I don’t know whether I like it or not. Anyway, the reason I wrote all this is because I need to know whether should I continue attending all of them or drop some?

Because it takes about 13 hours for everything. Its not that I’m complaining. I love attending all these stuff. It takes up Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights plus Tuesday afternoon (1 hour) and Sunday service.

I do like attending all this different 'activities'. I'm just not sure whether would it be too much. I know I shouldnt be calculative about God but I should also calculate my time spent studying. I should be priotizing God as first in my life. But I can't use that as an excuse to not study. Being a Christian is hard. I know.Well, the only thing I am considering dropping is YAG. I will keep going to home group, ICF and definitely church. I might drop the CU meetings as well. I will keep thinking and praying about it. I have to make a prayer list. I think I have lots to pray about.

that's chi yok cha
