MCF Cosy

I feel like someday I'll look back at this photo and sigh.

Defeated

Not having a mouth is better than having one, and not using it. Stupid me.

MCF Christmas Party

i must say that last night was surreal.

it has all come full circle.

and we're only human too.

Small Things

today was the much anticipated cookie giving day. much anticipated by us in the Medicine Christian Fellowship (MCF) at least. today, everyone in LT29 got to bring home a packet of the familiar Khong Guan sugar topped biscuits most of us would have been addicted to at one point in time of our childhood. free refill. =p

it's quite amazing really, even though i wouldn't have had thought so a few weeks back. at the beginning of the year, the idea was birthed from one of the meetings MCF had. soon enough, Grace and Andrew were wondering how they were going to get things organized and going. there was the money problem, packing problem, logistics problem, packaging problem, and perhaps the most burdensome of all, the heart problem.

so we passed around an envelope. some coins, some dollar bills, together with much love put into a brown envelope, hoping that God would use what we had. no one really knew what to expect or what to do, but out of this unknowingness came the seeding of faith. coincidentally (or not)

1. Abel's church was mass producing small gift cards at an affordable price.
2. Edward had spare plastic packaging at home, an exact 260 of them.
3. Shuhui lived upstairs a shop that sold the cookies and offered to buy and send them to school

21st October, we met in a seminar room. armed with gloves, 5 tins of biscuits, pens, cards, twisty things and plastic wrap, we packed, wrote, and wrapped. "1.5 cups per bag, 600g, it's just enough to go around so don't waste" as instructed by Grace. "too much too much!", "walau so giam put more la!" at the end of the day, we were left with just about half a tin left. maybe we did put too little in each bag, but i was reminded of the 5 loaves and 2 fish.

then there were the cards. i got a little itchy fingered, so i wrote "may your joys exceed the number of viruses that we have to learn!" :P if you got that card, i hope you were encouraged. :)

Cedric did up a slide show, reminding us of what some of us might have professed to believe in during our admission interviews. he ended of with a slide that said, "be encouraged, by the small things that pass us by".

and i hope you were encouraged. :)
