長大了...

In the past 3 years... I have slowly grown up and become mature...
In the past 3 years... I have gradually understood more and more about myself...
In the past 3 years... I have met many different people, got to know them... and became friends...in support of each other...
In the past 3 years... I have been learning how to love with heart and how to be loved also with heart...
In the past 3 years... I have tried to figure out/find out what I want in my life... what I wanna do... where my passion is... where my place is...

In the past 3 years... so much has happened.
...
I felt like i have lost myself sometimes... but God always assure me,"Just follow me."

In my life, no matter how distracted I am... my desire always has God in it.. what i wanna do always has God in it... God is always where passion is and He always has the place in my heart as I in His..

...

This year is gonna be my last year of serving @ CCF.
I am not sure what I can bring but I am sure I will try to bring my best.

CCF. Let's Go ! =]

This Summer... besides study.. work ... and traveling.. You have more options to spend your time in a meaningful way. =]

Below are the two events I will go to and encourage you to join too, as it will be fun! =P

#1

Enoch Culturathon 2008. Click for the enlarged image. ;)

Culturathon is similar to the popular TV show “Amazing Race” but with a multicultural twist. It is a team challenge of “cultural marathon.” Within designated time participants are required to complete a route through various destinations within multicultural Metro Vancouver in one day. We hope to challenge youth to work together and adapt to situations, broaden their horizons and enhance their sense of responsibility toward local needs.

It will be a one-day event on Saturday, June 28.
Sign up fee is $12 ($10 for early birds before June 1) deadline is June 14. You will need a team of 3-5 people. .. for more details check out http://www.culturathon.enochyouth.org/

By the way, I am looking for team members too ga.. if you are interested in playing with me, be certain to let me know! (I assume you know me well enough to know my email address? hah =P)

***update on June 1. I have submitted my team registration lu.. that means i am no longer looking for team members for my own. BUT don't hesitate to form a team of your own and participate in this great friendly competition!!! ;)

Registration

I have been to the camp in the past two years and i plan to go again this year. It's a rather physically demanding camp cuz you will get to play lots of games that are physically demanding and mentally challenging. The entire camp runs in a tight schedule to make sure we are not bored at any time. Of course la, we will get very well fed..and the food is just good! haha.. Also, we will get to reflect and share about our thoughts and experience in the game and in life. ... We will be divided into small groups and get to meet people like our age and make friends! =) ... I can't say enough how I appreciate the experience I have had in the past two year's camps; I am looking forward to another great camp, great experience this year! =]

The camp has different theme each year. and this year's theme is about embracing the changes of life. embracing the changes of life... what do you think? ... looking at the poster above.. what do you think of? ...

For more info, please check out: http://camp.enochyouth.org/
Again, you can let me know if you are interested in knowing more about my experience in the camp!

;) looking forward to see you!

Cheers! Have a great summer! =D

Haven't post anything here for a long time. Suddenly, i feel like doing it tonight.

As I went back in the history to read our posts before ... some lost memories have jumped right back. I missed the time we spent together in the past in CCF.

There's so much to do each day.. there's so much to plan for the future.. There is a long road to go.. How could one afford the time to look back and recall what has happened in the past.. maybe yes, for the near past.. but how far back could/would you go?

I have been a CCFer since end of 2005? coming to be 3 years. One more year, I should be graduating too. Seeing new faces coming to join CCF each year, and old faces leaving...
CCF has been changing..Things have been changing.. We have been changing. Changes good or not.. give me a sense of insecurity. Each change is essentially a challenge to myself, my comfort zone. It takes me time to feel comfortable and find my place again.

As we grow with all the changes.. one thing, we need to bear in mind, i think, ..
Never lose sight of ourselves, God's purposes in us.

Saturday Aug 4th 2007 is the grand finale of the Celebration of Light. CCF invites you to join us for picnic and to sing praise at English Bay before the fireworks begin.
This is an inter-college, inter-fellowship event. You may invite friends.
We will meet at dk's place at 4:30PM before going to English Bay together (Free parking!)

UBCADC Inter-University Debate Competition Semi-Final, May 4, 2007

Debate
In about 4 hours, the semi-final debate match where we are going to fight against ADC will take place.

In the past one or two weeks, our CCF debators have been making their best effort in preparing for this match. Mandy, Maggie, Hans and Tina. I was in the last two meetings with them. It's true that we won't truly understand something until we experience it ourselves. I am not saying that, I fully understand now how much time and effort and how much heart our debators have poured out for every single match, cuz I have never been a debater myself. But I do have a bit to share after being a fan, a supporter all along. =P

First of all, I am really grateful that ADC invited us CCF to participate in this debate tournament. Through this wonderful experience, we learned as individuals and more importantly as a team. So once again, thank you Dear Friends ADC (esp Clement for giving us the inspiring talk at the very beginning.) Another special thanks to Hans who is the coach of our CCF debate team; without Hans, we wouldn't even know where to start. Then, I have to give all my cheers to our CCF debate team (whoever have been on the team.. there are quite many.... like 12? haha.. as well as those who have help and support the team.) Yeah!!! =D

Debators, I see you guys struggle. I see you go through ups and downs. We share them. There are times of inspirations and sparks, confidence, joyfulness (joyful tears) ... there are times of disappointments, discouragments, frustrations and fear.... However, there are always times of Trust, support and love within us. There is ... always ... Passion!

Trudi ar Trudi, I really don't know what to say about you. You let me understand what debate can be. It's not only a sports not only a game not only a competition about talent of speech or arguments. It's an art. It's an art of language and wisdom and more. There is so much to debate and so much it can bring, but first of all, we need to love it and embrace the essence of it. (Hope I am less an outsider now. =P)

Maggie ar Maggie, I am always amazed by your sincerity, by your courage. We all see great potential in you! Keep on going!!! If you ever feel tired and wanna a rest, here's home. :)

Mandy, haha.... you always surprise me with your hidden talents. There's still a lot I don't know about you. But one I believe with no doubt is you need more sleep. Though we all think your "Eye bags" is the most attractive part of you. haha... kidding =P

Also, Erico, Kent, Sylvia and Vicent, *Take a 180 degree bow 此致敬禮，it's hard to step out of our comfort zones and you guys are among the pioneers!!! ~ *Whistling

Now, those to be debators and debator gonna show up first time today Tina, Arnold and dk... Hey, I am anticipating your great performance! Add oil! haha...

I am proud of you all!!! ;)
-----------------------------

Father, really thank you for giving us such an amazing and unforgetful expeprience. Thank you for carrying us. Thank you for teaching us what victory trully is and what a team should be. Thank you for teaching us how to use our best potential to maximize our ability. Thank you for encouraging us to step out our comfort zones and humbly learn from each other and others. Thank you for providing us all we need and our dear friends. We were weak; and we are still weak; but .... Father, you make us strong! Father, thank you for your presence. We love You! And we need you Father! Please Father, give us wisdom, give us confidence and give us courage! Give us the team spirit. Father, you let your Holy Spirit dwell in us and we just follow.

Amen!

Bible study on May 5th @AFC

We will look at the Lord's Prayer and see how it could change the way we look at CCF's ministry.

9:00AM - 10:00AM Prayer Meeting
10:00AM - 11:00AM* Bible study

*Usually we end at 11:45AM due to our enthusiastic discussion ; )

衷心感謝為我祈禱的人
今天說話總算沒有語無倫次 ^^''

* * *

今晚吃飯的時候我們分享了超多的聚會ideas
可是我實在太累了, 遲些才寫在這裡吧!

有甚麼ideas嗎? 留comment好嗎?

* * *

We need a static "about us" page for CCF. Anyone knows how to do that? (Otherwise I will just have to figure it out)

禱告。感恩。

今天很高興能出席CCF的晚餐, 雖然遲到, 但是整個過程十分愉快. 收到的紙條寫滿祝福的字句, 感覺溫暖. 為神賜給我CCF這個大家庭而感恩. 為認識到一班好像親人一樣的弟兄姐妹而感恩. 為相聚的時間而感恩.

最近發生的另一些事, 更令我感受到禱告的力量. 上個星期, 做功課趕報告的時間, 實在苦得要命. 實在不知如何做下去. 又想到co-op 還未找到工作, 亦未開始溫習年終考的課程. 結果躲在床上哭了好一段時間. 除了感情上的挫折, 很少時間會真的感到這麼軟弱. 最後實在承受不了, 在教會時, 找了edward 替我代禱. 在禱告的時間, 眼淚也忍不住留了下來. 哭了一會, 心情好像好了. 回家後, 趕緊做hw. 竟然能在deadline 前兩天完成. 效率人難以置信. 隔天, 在co-op又接到了兩個interview 的電話. 今天面試時, 竟然兩份工都say yes. 我只雖教慮在那裡工作便行了.

一切的事. 就像神有默默安排. 我們所心的事, 神必託管. 記得要多祈禱和感恩!

記得去年才嘆息CCF少弟兄, 看看我們今年這合照? : )

作為一個學會的職員, 最開心莫過於離開一陣子後回來發現很多新面口, 因為這證明我們仍然繼續增長. 同時間我也感到一點兒無奈, 因為錯過了很多. 我更無可否認心中有一種與團友疏離的感覺. 這現實令我期待著半年後當我再次踏入CCF門口的日子...

在CCF的日子有限, 各位團友要好好珍惜, 亦別忘記與其他朋友分享啊...
