fb, my new addiction

Recently, I have been spending more time with my bff. :)
For someone who does not enjoy supper, I found myself enjoying that little supper that we had. It was nothing spectacular. Just some nice hot drink in the cold air and a little drizzle, complemented by a good friend. We sat there for ages sharing about some of our problems, the stress, the future, pods, ministry.... :)
Honestly, I felt overwhelmed, and am still overwhelmed by the fact that so many of them are going for TMT next week. There was this sense of nostalgia before nostalgia. It is easy to be comfortable with the people i love, it is a joy to be serving with like-minded people, and it is a blessing to have such people around me to encourage, to love, to teach one another. I was beginning to dread the day the people leave for TMT!!!! :( But that layer of dread is slowly peeling.
Yesterday, I played floorball with Becky, Rachel, Fish, Jie En, Linda, Jere boy, Mike, Ranald, Aaron, Zhi Hao, Shaun, Marcus, Sarah and Nick.... Perhaps it has been a long time since I played, but it could also be the fact that I have not seen these O level people for a long time....the thing is, I like how we bond over a game! :) The little screams of joy, shouting across the court to encourage one another, having our jaws drop over the unexpected goal, a little boasting here and there, or maybe just me.... But seeing everybody's bright faces with signs of tiredness, yet still ready to smile and say "good game!" just made me enjoy the sport. Not because of how good or lousy I am, but the fellowship I have and friendships forged over a simple game.
The difference between playing in school and in church is that in church, the people aren't there to win, to compete like there's this huge cup that they can hold up high and take tons of photos with. They are there to have some fun, and just spend time together. :)
Thank God for you guys.
Although I must say that my heart aches a little to see my blades having a lot of scratches just after a few hours!!!! But, oh well, it's part and parcel.
Oh, talk about people who keep you grounded in God's word.. Fish is a great friend.
There I was, having learnt some new skill on how to pass the ball back and forth and i was so thrilled that I got to put to use during the game when i was cornered by 3-4 people that I went to boast about it. It was such a joke the way I showed off that the few around me was so amused, moo's jaw dropped, the others laughed, i laughed so hard that I collapsed to the floor in laughter. Before I know it, i lose the ball because I was laughing so hard.
Yes, boasting is bad!!!
*sigh* The amount of entertainment I bring to the rest. :) :)
