legacy

Today's bs reminded me of my complacency. How much i've let things and people go by, how much time wasted on things "that are seen" on food that spoils and on things that are temporal.
It's just so frustrating sometimes that it remains only a want, a desire, a longing and when action is needed, it is procrastinated.

Ishhness..


Wants without action is meaningless
Words without action is useless
Faith without deed is dead.

Of birthday, basketball and bye-byes

Yesterday marks our last day of classes and also our last week of basketball
and the whole week was such a relaxing week with some of our classes finished earlier than expected..
..though final exam's just around the corner, we managed to squeeze some time to bum around, hang out, celebrate very-belated, long-forgotten b'days, meet up and say our goodbyes to those who'll be leaving....
Everyone was just so not in the mood to mug for exams yet ..Probably due to the mad rush finishing assignments or the late nights endured completing theses the week before. So after all these, last week, being sandwiched between post-assignment completion week and final exam week, everyone (for me, at least) was making every effort to de-stress before slipping away from the care-freeland of the happy people and going into the zombie mode again.

Steamboat...(again?!..what's with girls and steamboats?!)...haha..it's masak-masak time..la


Belated birthdays + farewells + dinner with the cg mates


Went to a hilly spot in campus after dinner where it overlooked illuminated putrajaya and decided to test our photography skills...the jumping-in-the-air shot..
It was sooo difficult to capture everyone in the air that we had to take a couple of times to get it right...
The fact that the cheese baked rice i had earlier didn't make it easier too.

Girls night out...sure was...

IKUPM annual dinner

"It's a Jungle Out There!"- That was the theme for the night. Our very own annual thanksgiving CF dinner. Nothing really fancy..just a simple dinner in a chinese restaurant located somewhere near campus.
Wasn't really keen of going, but seeing so many of my final year friends who are of the same batch as i am but will be finishing this year signing up for it, i thought, oh well, why not. SO after a looong day in church for easter and catching up with the church-ies...rushed back home, grabbed something decent for the night, then rushed back to uni to pick some people up and voila!- dinner...



Upon arriving at the dinner place...there were already people waiting to be seated.

And ta-da...nothing fantastic about the food but the company..fantabulous~

Wira-wirawati-s

So many, many things happened last week which are blogworthy but didn't have the time to really sit down, blog and reflect about it until today.
Was supposed to have a presentation today at 3pm but is postponed to tomorrow so now i have the whole day free..

Last week i had the opportunity to visit a NS camp in Dengkil, about 45 mins from campus with yune. Asked her out for dinner one night and this was her reply:

Me: Interested to go dinner tmr? Out-campus...
Yune: Raincheck....thought of going to ns tomorrow with Kim...
Me: Ok..i'll follow..

So off we went to Kem Khidmat Negara Daerah Dengkil. This was my first time.
For the past few batches, Kim has been faithfully making trips alone to the kem twice a week to conduct CF there.
And i salute her commitment.
Not once a week, not 10 mins from home.
But, twice a week, 50 mins from home, one way, at night.

I was excited to see, feel, and experience.
The trip through the pitch black oil palm estates, through off-roads, to reach the kem were enough to freak me out if i'm driving alone.
So many what if-s..
and there she was...going through all these alone every week.

Upon reaching the place, we were pleasantly surprised by the bright lights aluminating the whole kem, nothing like the journey behind us, nestled in a secluded site off Dengkil main town. The place seemed nice.
The wira-wirawati-s (that's how they call them in ns camps) were already waiting for us.
It was awkward at first to see so many clean-shaven head guys, and so many east malaysian. about 89%
After 15mins, everyone was comfortable.
Sang, laughed, played, worshiped, shared.
It was encouraging to see them responding despite the broken-bm.
Then suddenly, Kim asked to pray for them. I knew i had to do it in bm, but how?
And it was nerve-wrecking. But all turned out well.
It was again my first time.
It was encouraging to see them taking up the ns challenge. To see them making the best out of their time here in this secluded place. Looking at them makes me wonder how would i be taking this if i'm one of the chosen ones.

On hindsight,
I'm amazed at how God works.
Truly in ways we cannot see.
