Remember to breathe
It's been sometime since I'd last blogged. The past 10 days or so have just been a succession of blessing after blessing, and I have much to be thankful for.
Campus Crusade Camp was significant because it was my first exposure to uni life, and I'm glad I got to start it off on the right foot with God. Through the camp, I felt that God had given me direction and purpose to my subsequent 4 years in NUS. I had made many new friends, and each of them has been a great source of joy to me. Special mention goes out to my CG(2), who I had a really fun time with. Victor was especially inspirational and pivotal in leading us as a group that bonded well together. The 2nd night, where we didn't sleep at all and just stayed up for HTH talks and cold jokes would definitely be one of the nights to be remembered (not to mention Victor's snoring).
O-week pre camp was another huge blessing to come this week. Michelle Kuek had told me that the camp needed photographers and I jumped at the chance. Both Monday and Tuesday had really been a time of fun and sun, with many games being played, many friendships forged, and many photos taken. The O Comm was very welcoming to Yong Kang and I, and the pre camp, and subsequently, the actual O week, would really help us in our growth as photographers. The campers themselves were very accepting of us, and each of us have been 'adopted' into a house!
During my NUS Medical, the doctor who was examining me asked, "why are you here in NUS for?" I was momentarily stunned. The answer wasn't quite clear to me as I had thought. After some stammering, I replied that ultimately it was for my passion for history. He smiled and said that many students came for the cert. I told him that that was practical, and immediately, he grew very animated and urged that I never lose my idealism to realism. For me, it's small incidents like this that helps me get back on my path in life, and I really felt that God was speaking to me through this doctor. It was just another evidence that an idealist can survive in this world.
Many people have come back. Sarah, Ryan, Debbie, Brian, Cheryl, Jon, Samantha and Mark. Alvyn is coming back soon. I know I haven't been able to meet up with all of you, but know that I'm thinking of you guys constantly.
Probably one of the best advices I've heard all this time:
