went to surprise Jerb yesterday at 12am at bedok.
it was soooooooo fun
first, we gotta guess what time will she reached home because she's not going for dinner with the boys anymore
then, we got news that she's gonna go eat with Jared
so now, we gotta guess which coffee shop in bedok sells zi char
but i tell you, its worth ALL the effort
the look on her face is priceless
and thats the least we can do for her after all that she had done for us
she is truly a leader that i really appreciate and love

you know i was a little apprehensive when i first went over to jerb's cell

because of the fact that i hardly spoke to her and i dont really know the way she do things and all.

but overtime, i realised that she is not just a leader but a friend indeed.

never will i forget that very day she came down to my house to talk to me

those nights we spend together at suntec office or macdonald preparing for cell group or planning for activities

but what struck me the most is the love she has for people

not just friends, but every single person, member and non-member alike

how she would take a cab down to someone's house and wait till the wee hours

or simply just to pass a card or a packet of chocolates

how she will scold you, but will buy you a drink and give you money to take a cab home after that

or even the fact that she will NEVER stop believing in you even after countless times of failing

jerb, you may never get to read this, but i just want to say you are one of the best leaders ive ever seen, in fact, IMO, the best and i just want to thank you for every single thing that you had done for me, for every encouraging message you sent, for every comforting word you've said.

a poem that someone wrote to me.

Clutch
inside my hand, all precious things
my fingers close over, lest they take wings
inside my heart, attentions divided
deaf to the voice, from whom i departed
im stiffly hanging on, white knuckles
under a love so strong, knees buckled
God, as i free up all cares and sighs
prove yourself true in my tear-stained eyes



you know.
why dont You tell me
what else can i do to impress You ?

every single night, i return to the secret place
to the place where i never felt more comfortable and loved
thank You


what a privilege to be able to even call upon Your name.
the great I AM

laughs. i know im just rambling on and on about random things which half the world probably dont understand. anyhows, i believe all it takes is just one encounter, one touch to change everything.
