In the middle of exam weeks and World Cup games, I manage to stay sane. Update you guys with posts and emails once exams are over : )

Housemates Fun

Housemate #1

HM #1: Hey, you're here!
HM #2: Ya, nice to see you.
HM #1: You're here for dinner with Gavin?
HM #2: ???
HM #1: Oh I forgot. You live here.

Housemate #2

HM #2: Gavin, do you know how to use conditioner?
Me: I don't really use them. I just use 2 in 1.
HM #2: Freakin guy, I dunno how to use it.
Me: Why all of a sudden you need to use conditioner?
HM #2: 'Cause the lady's back from her trip. I need to look good. (he said it with a straight face.)
Me: ... alrite then, I guess you need to be a pretty boy to impress her.
HM #2: Hey! I used to be a pretty boy when I was younger, now I got big (muscles).
Me: You'll always be a pretty boy. Hope you can read.

Me: (made fun of HM #2 and his girlfriend)
HM #2: Gavin, you know what?
Me: What?
HM #2: You're the b____ of the house.
Me: (jaw dropped)

Housemate #3

Me: Good for you!

The above situations might be a little bit exaggerated but... nah... close enough.

French Open Heat

Rafael Nadal, the beast of the tennis world today, has just won his 56th match on clay surface today and further extend his record today. Federer is still my favourite player, but I do want Nadal's biceps.

Exams coming up real soon...

Challenged

q

Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.

~Romans 12:3~

Two weeks ago was the annual Campus Challenge held by AFC. I had a good time. The program, events, and workshops did not, however, contribute to most of my memorable experience. It was the simplest things that hit the mark: small sharings and reflection. Definitely an humbling experience...

I have always been known for giving 150% of my time to KCCF. Every single day of my life at Queen's was pretty much devoted to serving in KCCF. "Faith without deeds is dead", as I would always tell my fellow brothers and sisters. Never was I once believed that I should slow down and stay still. I thought I was doing the right thing and I was giving my best to bring God's Kingdom closer. It was during the past two years of serving that I became obsessed with the sucess from each ministry and the support received from my brothers and sisters. Proving to everyone that I can be involved in ministries just like everyone else became my goal of serving.

I have finally realized what my flaws have been for the past few years. Many actions that I took not only made myself more bitter and negative but also hurt many of my fellow brothers and sisters. I felt shattered and empty. Broken. However, being broken is one thing. Letting Christ to raise me up from all these broken pieces of me is a complete different matter. I have been struggling with self defeat from day to day basis. I haven't been able to truely look past my inadequacies and strive forward as a renewed person. This kind of negativity led to unrest in my soul. That completely contradicts the meaning of believing in the power of cross, the message of Jesus Christ, and the promise of eternal life. As a result, peace and joy in Christ seem out of reach.

This is definitely a challenge to my perseverence in my Holy living. Please pray for me.

I saw myself on TV...

-
As the second season of Grey's Anatomy came to an end last night, I suddenly realize for the whole time I was watching myself in that show. In the midst of all the drama, I have found my alter ego in that show... I am George O'Malley.

Here are the similarities:

- I tend to be nervous around my authorities.
- Though I don't live with girls, I hang out with them a lot.
- I get nervous and shy around girls whom I have crush on.
- Many other guys see me as a wussy. haha
- I am not very confident about my work, even though I know my stuff.
- I suck at saying "I love you".
- Women like Dr. Bailey and Christina can control my life.
- I used to be chubby.

I am George. Hurray.
