Okay... the network connection from my computer has been plugged out to be used on a laptop for some testing purposes.. so I guess I'm temporarily freed up for a while to leave some verbal doodles. :)

Thank God it's Friday. TGIF TGIF TGIF. Hahahaha.

Had to be in school super early in the morning to open up a room for the guys to deposit their bulky items - it's CCA day today. As to why I had to do that... well. Actually, I realised I haven't exactly been writing much on what I've been up to the past couple of weeks... not because I can't write about it, but it's more of the lack of free time. Haha...

Yeah. Let's just say, new systems require some time to stablize. It's very much like the content management system that I'm using the guys' communications right now - an RC - Release Candidate, not entirely stablized but stable enough to be used.

That explains the beezeeness these days yeah. :)

I found encouragement through the sharing of a doctor involved in humaritanian aid in tibet this morning during the centre's current affairs session. He's an old boy three years my senior... and a brother in Christ as well. Actually when I heard of him being a doctor in tibet I'd already guessed. :P

He summed it up pretty well when one of the boys asked him how he detaches himself from the material.

He was earning much but he realised that he did not find the satisfaction.

And that ultimately it's the calling that's given that matters most.

I must admit that I struggled here and there... having to get used to waking so early everyday once again, having to plough through the intial setting up stages of a new system and ending up spending hours doing really mundane things... it's definitely very different compared to the times when I could wake up late, swim on one day and run on the other, do the rest of the things I want to do, spend more time with loved ones...

I dismissed the boys... stood at the front and watched on as they filed out of the drama centre... and smiled.

:)

Many of them still walk past me like perfect strangers... and I guess my introversion has a role to play. But I'm thankful... for the many new found friendships and a number of revived ones amongst them. I guess that's what's unique about my role - I'm not unto them a teacher after all. :)

Alrights. Time to wrap up some work and attend the very first IDT (Intentional Discipleship Training) session for the new year. Remember I wrote about Pa (God)'s faithfulness? Despite all the load piled up, His love remains.

And that's what sustains. Woots. :P
