last night was one goood long night of fun, food, and frankness. met mils, cheryl, gerard and kenny for supper last nite and it has officially sealed them in the friends-for-a-long-time-to-come category. besides chindia, this group is perhaps the only other group of friends i've taken beyond the classroom or a project deadline and i'm glad we've come this far with each other.somewhere in the middle of random conversation, kenny offically changed the tone of the evening when he asked us what was one thing he thought he could improve/work on. kinda took me by surprise coz i thought it was a brave question to ask and i was impressed. and so what started out as a casual question sparked off the next 2 hours of really good, insightful, honest, heart-to-heart, affirming, and some almost tear-worthy conversation as we talked about what we saw in and of each other and how we each grew in the group as we sharpened one another and complemented each other at the same time, and got to know about ourselves and each other. i think that as mil's put it, i'd finally built bridges with this group and let them in and it was precious (as cheryl's shirt read) to be able to be candid with them. so i'm glad i did last night tho i was pretty bushed by time we met at 1030pm. only getting 3.5 hrs of sleep was worth it too. thanks guys. meant a lot. : ) you truly are such blessings! alright...better go pack for tmr's senior youth retreat. i'm definitely psyched up for 3 whole days of fellowship, fun, kampong life, and rest at some island far off from batam. hope it makes up for not being at youth camp!!
