After much delay, I finally made it to Roy and Amy's place!! Man, this place is awesome, I'm blogging from their apartment, and they gave me a king's sized bed! So tonight I can guling from one end to the other, they even have a serviced swimming pool and fitness center. Shit lah, I can't wait to get my own place.
I want to stay here longer, but it seems that I might have to make an early trip back to the college tomorrow, it all depends on whether I feel like going to practice or not. Since wishing for the practice to be postponed seems impossible. Well, miracles happen, and I hope it happens tomorrow because only God knows how tiring it is to be practicing with so many people. Yes, use my talents, but I need a break too sometimes. Nevertheless, I would like to thank all those who have trusted me to play for them. I feel that I have improved a lot since coming to Mission College.
Bangkok was rainy. I was planning to drop by Prathunam, but the stupid rain ruined by Sabbath afternoon espionage. I guess it wouldn't be wise for me to go shopping right after church service. :{p I'm now using moustached smileys because I myself am desperately growing one.
Today I learned something really important and interesting at the AY seminar at the BAH. Many times we hear people saying, both young and old, that youth is the future. They will be the ruling generation in years to come. But then, Pastor George and Pastor Michael said something really REALLY true, Youth is not the future, but it is the present. Many have seem to grasped the notion that it should be the older ones who gets to determine what is to be done, and leaving out the younger ones with the thought that they are not quite mature yet. But I agree that youth, though younger and may be somewhat naive, should be given the freedom of voice too. Yes, that probably won't work here in Southeast Asia where the social organization is hierarchical, nevertheless, bright ideas don't come with age alone, it comes with innovation, creativity, determination, and enthusiasm. Youth find themselves many times unenthusiastic when there are organized programs, why? The only sound reason I can think of now, it's not the only, but one of the major reasons, is because these programs do not identify with what the younger generation needs.
Enough philosophy for now... Hope tomorrow I can stay longer here!!! :D
Thanks to Amy and Roy for their hospitality. It's such a great honor to be hospitalized!! :P
