Boreded

By -
29 July I had the most boring orientation I ever had in my life. The Arts Oweek 2005 is damn boring. To start with, the groups are too big for people to gel together. Secondly, most of the councillors were having fun with themselves, not with the freshmen. Thirdly their leadership really sucks, they totally dun have the calibre to bring out the spirit... especially when Charmaine Wang(yes! I mention names now cos I was so irritated) say 'Yeah'!!!!

'Are you from Achar? YEAH!!!'

'You from Atapchee??? YEAH!!!'

'You are the first two to come. YEAH!!!'

'Why look so bored??? YEAH!!!!'

Come on lah, I know you wanna be enthu, but aku think that you are still a hundred years too early. Go and train more then come back and try to motivate me. A

Apparently, to those who has attended the ACTStrinsic Camp, the Arts Oweek is nothing, totally zil compared to it. Think they should go and attend GEN ACTS events then they can understand.

Luckily siam before I reached the point of no return. Went bidding with the gang. Never knew bidding can be so exciting. Basically, it was so competitive. My HY2216 only has 5 places, PH1101E is overrun by bidders. Down.... but I'm qutie confident I can get what I want.

Today's morning event reminds me something which my friend said, 'Basically, go orientation only waste time, cos you have fun , but nothing constructive is done.' ACTStrinsic wasn't like that, but really Arts Oweek matched this description. Nothing constructive, no effort to gel the group, keep cheering dun noe for what purpose. I have a feeling that they want us to cheer just for the sake of cheering. The way they organise their games.... it's so cliche. I think I can do this better loh. At least ACTStrinsic I feel that it was good.... because it was too good.

I hope that someone really let the Arts Club see this post, cos the way they do things really suck to the very core of the core. I know that today I'm getting a bit very defaming and critical, but I really have to voice it out, cos I have been victim for more than one occasion. Heard that they are going to organise an Arts Bash. The last time I attended their bash, it was like... so disgusting, the waiting, the queue, and the music. As far as I remember, I didn't enjoy a single event with ASS Club.... what a good name for it. Why can't they just be more outoging in the way they operate, like Gen Acts? Aiyo, for goodness, from FASS somemore.... really arh....

Parable of the 'Good Samaritan'

By -
Once there was this man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thorns, and the thorns spring up and choked him. And as he went on, he didn’t have money, and he met the Queen of Sheba, and she gave him 1,000 talents of gold and 100 changes of raiment. And he got into a chariot and drove furiously, and when he was driving under a big juniper tree, his hair caught on a limb of that tree, and he hung there many days, and the ravens brought him food to eat and water to drink, and he ate 5,000 loaves of bread and two fishes. One night when he was hanging there asleep, his wife Delilah came along and cut off his hair, and he dropped, and fell on stony ground. But he got up and went on, and it began to rain, and it rained forty days and forty nights, and he hid himself in a cave, and he lived on locust and wild honey. Then he went on ‘til he met a servant who said, “Come, take supper at my house.” And he made an excuse and said, “No, I won’t. I have married a wife, and I c...

Of Teaching and Learning

Over the past two weeks, I was invited to attend a block class on "Learning to Teach." After two weeks of class, here are some reflections that I have. We thank God Bro Casey is a pretty humane teacher... :P  Firstly, teaching needs to meet the changing challenges of the 21st century. This is especially pertinent with all the advancements in technology as well as the worldview changes with the generation today. There is simply no room for the teacher to remain stagnant and not be able to keep up with times so as to engage their students and to facilitate learning. Applying to theological education and Bible school, we have to consider what kind of ministers we are training for the churches in the 21st century. If we are training ministers who are able to engage today’s generation, then we need to review the current methods of teaching and train ministers to be savvy in social media and technology and be able to make use of them in their ministries. Reflecting back on...

Of Exegesis, Wedding Preparation and the Whole Lot of Things: Another Reflection

By -

To those who know what happened, the past months since the start of 2016 had been very stressful to me. In the preparation to my impending wedding this coming October, my future father-in-law decided to throw a few spanners into the wedding preparation by declaring that he was not comfortable with me as a life partner to his daughter because I am a full time Christian worker and more importantly because I come from a different family background from her.  The latter means that there are certain practices in my own family which are unthinkable in his worldview on how a family should function. This led to intense tensions between Angelina and myself. To compound the stress, NT Exegesis class was not that easy also and the stress of meeting the deadlines mean that I sometimes did not have the time to reflect deeper into the situations I was facing in my relationship.  However, studying the text of Philemon 15-20 reminded me of the way we should conduct our relationship ...
