Counting my days!

The end of the 2nd semester in my first year here in STM!

This is my last week of classes! most of the classes will end this week and next week will be the study week break before the exams! After the exams its 2 weeks holiday for me and time for me to prepare myself for the two month practicals which is yet to be revealed to me!

Time really passed by fast! its already been 1 year of studies in STM... in this year, many many things happen and many many new things that i've learned either from the classes or from interaction with fellow seminarians! Gained a lot of new friends too.... some are geeky! some are out going! and some really suck all the energy away from me when i would just want to be silent! :P but they are all good friends to have! hehe....

Next year, will be upgraded and no more a freshie! haha.... 2nd year student! quite a burden to carry thats when the first years will come and look for me if there is question or getting used to the environment in STM! it is a cycle that every student here faced! Hopefully, my room mate next year will be a good one that can tahan my music when i sleep at night!

Counting the days till my best friend's wedding! after his marriage... i'll be the only one left single in our group! :( i remember the times when we go hang out together and jam in a studio together... and now they are all happily married! to say that i will not be left out is an understatement because these feelings will still be there.... but i have to overcome these feelings! recently, i got in touch with my classmate from my secondary school days! and i was also shocked to hear that he too was married! haha..... am i the only one in my age that is still single? who knows... i'll just have to depend on God and His timing for me! who knows that God will bless me with a person that will suit me and the ministry that God have planned for me!

Teach me to number my days aright,
that I may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12

求你指教我怎样数算自己的日子，

好叫我得著智慧的心。

A busy week!

Starting on Monday.. I have registered to join the voice training and choral conducting class tought by Mrs. Simon Chan. Everyday this week there are classes from 5 pm to 7pm! its going to be a long week this week learning how to sing properly by standing properly without bulging my tummy out!

i've learn a lot for the pass 2 days! especially in the conducting class. she teaches how to do an audition and placing people in their parts as well! so i think it will be a productive week although it will be a very rush and tiring week for me!

Compare??

2 Corinthians 10:12 (New International Version)

¹²We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.

Douglas came and approach me one day and asked me how is my practical ministry in Kepong Church. Well, I replied that I am doing well and helping out what I can do. Douglas told me that I should do an extra mile in the the ministry because the supervisor was comparing you with the other 3rd year student that is serving in the same church.

I was really down when i heard that I am being compared in the ministry with another person. For sometime I am feeling dishearten about the information from Douglas. It has always been like this ever since I was young, people has been comparing me with someone that were better than I am. In my studies and in my secular work. Sometimes I really feel insignificant and couldn't reach the level of expectation of others.

This is what the world is like, anywhere you go, there are people who will make comparison in the things you do. Yes! even in God's ministries. I realized that it is not worth my time to feel that way.I know that whatever I am doing, I am serving my God because of His love for me.

I know there are Christians outside who are facing the same problem as I am. Just an encouragement to you, remember that you are serving God not man. No matter how man compares you with other people just take note of it and strive to serve God with all our Heart, Soul and Strength. In the End, we are pleasing God not man! But do not take it for granted because this will lead us into not doing our best for God.

I told Douglas, If my supervisor were to compare me with the 3rd year student, I've got nothing to say because she is from a Chinese background and could read and speak mandarin better than i do. Definitely she will be able to do more thing than me and moreover, she have a pastoral background before she came to STM.
