Faithfulness and Self-Control

..::*+Small Talk+*::..

Sometimes I feel sad, but sometimes I feel, however, happy, whenever I'm happen to be standing between two different gender who are deeply in love with each other. In other words, I'm a somehow to-be-unavoidable light bulb. I have to do the talking to both sides, without destroying my friendship with either one of them. It's like, I'm a bridge, connecting two opposite banks. When they both are in love with each other, I feel happy for them, as I manage to get them two together. But if the situation is the opposite, I'm lost in my thoughts and I sometimes really don't know how to react to the situation.

But what I feel sorry is, that people to be standing in between me and the one that I like, when both of us are having cold war, and perhaps a battlefield. And my friends are stuck in the midst of the gunpowder exchange. They hide informations about opponent when I talk to them. But when I retrieve the informations that they refuse to tell out from other sources, seriously I can't blame them from hiding them (the informations) from me, but honestly, I feel sad, because that is the moment when I realize that they could not be honest to me. It's not their fault in the first place, but it just hard for me, too hard in fact. Until now, I think the most trustworthy friend is a diary.

Wow, so long I did not blog anything about Campus Alive. Basically I missed the last session, which was roughly a month ago, due to my badminton competition (SAF) at main campus. It was great to be able to go there once more. And I was curious about them not to have CA session 2 weeks ago.

Never mind. Today CA, as usual and to be expected, it was as fun as ever. The title today was Faithfulness and Self-Control. We started off with some ice-breaking games. We were asked to form 2 circles with equal number of peoples. We were supposed to remember our partners (one from each circle) and had music played by Michelle from Korean Program and once the music stops we need to find our partner as soon as possible. The last one would have to be punished by eating lemons without changing any facial expression. It was funny.

Then we started off with worshiping. We sang songs and clapped hands. Honestly I enjoyed the musics a lot. After that, it was time for speech. And again, this time is Pastor David again with his wonderful speech. He spoke about today's topic and told the story of Eve and Adam: how they were lured by the serpent to eat the forbidden fruit. He then talked about the temptation that Satan used to challenge Jesus. And Satan failed, 3 times in fact, of course. Throughout the session there were laughters and jokes and we all listened to him as he spoke. It was another enjoyable moment with Pastor. Thank you, I learned a lot today =)

Campus Alive rocks!
