young adults retreat

I'm back from the Young Adults Retreat at JB! Had a great time there, but I'm super duper tired... Even though technically we did sleep every night, as compared to our previous all-nighter camps. I think it's cuz we're all "old" people already. As in the age range over there was from 18-35, not counting the uncle and auntie leaders haha.

We learnt about the differences in perspectives between men and women. Like we had this poll thing where men and women had to vote on different issues. And this quiz testing us on what we know about men, and what they know about us women haha. In the end, it's all about embracing those differences, and at the same time learning to be godly men and women. And I think women nowadays are becoming more like men, in all the wrong ways. Like they think if men can sleep around and have affairs, they can do it. It's disgusting really.

Anyway, I think it's really great to have much older people amongst us, especially those in their mid 30s, cuz you really get to hear a whole different bunch of perspectives. And then you realise you're really lacking in maturity, both spiritually and mentally, and that you still have a long way to grow up. Yup, and I learnt quite alot about relationships also. Some people surprised with their views on this issue also, like they show maturity beyond their age, which is impressive.

We also had this session where we had to brainstorm on ways to improve our young adults community. And I realised we're really lacking in our prayer lives. Not individually, but for each other. So we're not that involved in each other's spiritual lives, and thus we don't get to grow as much as we can. I guess I only started thinking about this, after Shuqi told me about it, and about what she saw among her other Christian friends. And I think I'm lacking in this area also. I don't share very often among my church friends, even though technically we're very close. And most of the time, I'm too selfish or busy to pray for others except myself. I guess this has to stop, and things have to change.

But we had fun too! Like the hilarious skits, games and just everything in general haha. And it was good to get away from all the problems in Singapore. So I hope we'd have more of this fellowships and gatherings next time :)))

On another note, although this week is my term break, I don't think it can really be considered one haha. There are projects to meet for, term papers to research for, tutorials to do, and of course, friends to catch up with! Especially wwf and ppg! And dear Janice, before she flies off. Just hope that I can get enough rest to see me through the rest of the semester.

And it's the same world, honey, that has brought you down,
As the one that's gonna pick you up.
