Sigh... this place so dusty again. Haha...

Yes, a busy season still... just to let the avid reader know that I'm very much alive and kicking. :P

It's a different kind of busyness from the start of the year though - what I had at the beginning wasn't that good - it was the routine kind of busyness working out all the admin for the year and looking at huge amounts of data... at least now things have moved on to becoming more people centred - mentoring, meeting with people, preparing for wedding, etc.

Yep.

I'm thankful for the opportunity to be officially involved in the mentoring process this year... ironically as it seems, my weakness (and yet perceived by most as strength) is in admin - not so much of the quality (which my perfectionist streak's causing my work to be pretty neat) but the consistency - I did not do a proper job last year with my documentations. This year, with the addition of official mentees from day school on top of my existing mentees in boarding school... it's become a real challenge to make sure that I update records consistently and that I do not delay updating for too long... less I forgot what transpired over each mentoring session.

It's been pretty good so far... but there's always room to improve and I know I've got to constantly make time to do my filings properly (ironically, I just chatted with one of my mentees regarding his perceived issue of a lack of self discipline, one of which was his lack of organisation, in filing, etc. Haha...)

I'm seeing a switch of focus at work as well... before the new school term starts I was still hoping that it's possible to do so, to look after two cohorts on a macro level and at the same time mentor individuals. I guess if I really want to I should be able to... but as how things are panning out now, I suppose it's best to take things naturally and not force myself to put on my burners... at the end of the day, I guess it's better to invest intentionally into the lives of a few and ensure that they grow, rather than thin my attention to everyone and at the end of the day not really achieving anything substantial for any individual.

Still, there's this part of me still wanting to... aye aye ayeeeeee.

Went with the volleyball team to CCK Sports Hall last week for the West Zone prize presentation... both the 'B' and 'C' divisions managed a third placing in their respective divisions... kudos! Glad to be part of the journey even though I was never really officially affiliated with the CCA.. (:

Wedding prep! HO HO! Haha... Gosh it's quite scary to know that we're into the last three months of preparations! Really thankful for the all the help that's been pouring in from all directions - Char and I would never have managed this on our own! I'm actually in the midst of designing our wedding website.. so I guess this hiatus will be extended quite a bit before I finish that site.

If it takes constant reflections for me to remember God's faithfulness... then I really hope I'll start pouring in more entries here each day. Say. Poke me at my tagboard for an update if this place stays stagnant again? ;)
