final lap

Yesterday, I finished my last paper in NUS. The feeling? I don't know, actually I didn't really feel anything, it was just like finishing any other exams before. One of my friend had a similar feeling as this, maybe because we already so used to exams in NUS? Ha3, I don't know, but these 4 years have been bitter sweet, many things have happened, through experience with God, through fellowship, through friends, and lessons to be learnt? Just too many to be mentioned one by one.

I felt glad and thankful for everything. Yes indeed his lovingkindness is everlasting! "Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting" -- Psalm 106:1

After this, I need to finish the final lap of my service in NUS ISCF. A Prayer Meeting is coming this Friday, and then the Annual General Meeting this Saturday, and finally the long-awaited ISCF Camp which starts on Monday next week! So I pray that everything will go according to his plan, for the AGM, for the camp, and for ISCF.

"Do you want a house for your soul? Do you ask, 'What is the price?' It is something less than proud human nature would like to give. It is without money and without price. Would you like to pay a respectable rent? Would you love to do something to win Christ? Then you cannot have the house, for it is 'without price'. Will you take my Master's house on a lease for all eternity, with nothing to pay for it, nothing but the rent of loving and serving Him forever? Will you take Jesus and 'dwell in Him'? See, this house is furnished with all you need. It is filled with riches more than you will spend as long as you live. Here you can have intimate communion with Christ and feast on His love." -- We dwell in Him (1 John 4:13)

Yes, I would like to dwell in Him, dwell in His everlasting love and abundant grace forever... Thank you Lord

a beautiful fellowship

Today, I went to National University Hospital for an eye check-up. I have made an appointment with Dr. Lee Sao Bing (Consultant Eye Surgeon) a week before, after the end of my first exam. Actually, I have a problem with my left eye. I cannot see very clearly with only my left eye, as if there is something blocking my vision, just like a fog. After a tiring 3 hours check-up, Dr. Lee come to a conclusion that my left eye's retina is broken. Morever, he said that it's almost impossible for me to recover 100%. I was very sad when hearing this news. Next Monday, I will meet with Dr. Caroline Chee, a retina specialist, for follow-up. I think there is no other choice other than having an eye surgery. Actually, I am very affraid of surgery, I really hate hospital, especially the smell, but no other choices. I believe that Lord our God will take care of me...

From NUH, I went to The Cathay Dhoby Ghaut for a cell group session. Btw my cell group members are me, Ardianto, and Yonathan, and the leader is Benny. I and Yonathan went together to The Cathay, rushing for the free drinks promotion from Star Bucks (only today from 5-7 pm). We arrived at 6.45 and got the free drinks. I ordered the most expensive one hehehehe. My cell group leader arrived very very on time. I think he was one of the last people in the queue. You can see his victory smile here hehe:

Benny's (pink shirt, holding a receipt) victory smile :p

Star Bucks promotion

We (I, Yonathan, and Benny) talked a lot in Star Bucks while waiting for Ardi. Ardi had his last exam today at 5 pm. We shared about a lot of things, because this is our first meeting after a long exam break. Ardi arrived at around 8 pm, missed the chance to get the free drinks ha2. After Ardi arrived, we had a dinner together in Billy Bomber, just next door of Star Bucks. It's Benny's treat hehe, we were so happy, and I am still very happy now. Thanks a lot bro!!! We had a very nice fellowship back there, sorry cannot tell you what are the contents of our conversation, private and confidential hehe. These are our photos inside Billy Bomber:

After the dinner, we met with a bunch of wandering freshmen :p. We met with Teddy, Adit, Winong, Thomas, Vincent, and Anton. They were just from Bugis, buying gifts to be brought back to Indonesia. So that's for today, a sad news ended by a beautiful fellowship. Thank you Lord.
