Our YunHuaChun

heya all `chunners! how has it been?? school? any memories or short flashbacks to yunhuachun?

well i dreamt of yunhuachun in a not so rural village. it was like the village had somehow transformed into a more sci-fi/tech world. but not all of it. and it didn't seem to change the lives of the simple villagers we saw. it was like this. i stepped up a travelator, sat on it with one of the yhc boys. it seemed more like a conveyor belt i was sitting on. it was thin and kinda went around the village like you know those monorail. then there was a terminus to this monorail, which we ended up in. i was chatting with the boy and he kinda seemed upset that i'd forgotten his name. but hey, he gave me a wrong name. i knew that name he gave me was wrong. how obviously, i have truly forgotten that boy's name. in real life, yes. but it was interesting. we went through a spiral, like the one at the jurong swimming complex. i became very giddy as we both tumbled down the slide. then we ended up in a room. we could either choose to continue down the spiral or enter the room. i chose the latter to check it out. it was a salon. i saw a few elderly ladies. the whole image is just so high-tech. so you've gotta feel high-tech yea? i asked the people in the room. Salon? (in mandarin) i then heard preacher chwee lan's voice. Ya. Salon. interesting eh? i can't remember if i'd continue to go down the spiral or chose to walk through the salon and into the main building. i only remember feeling giddy. which i knew wasn't real, because i was dreaming. so i opened my eyes. and yeah. no more giddiness.

what can i learn from this? someone enlighten me, please. i think it shows at least one thing. that i've forgotten alot about yunhuachun. and to all those who have just went. you may forget them, if you've not tried hard to remember. if you let your daily lives be affected by them, or if you let your daily lives be affected by the fire and fervour for God, it can be both good and bad. but remember to try to keep the fire burning. it may cease to glow one day, like mine.

i was full of passion and the Holy Spirit when i came back. the first person i spoke to about Christ, evangelical, was after my return from yunhuachun. i was just so touched that i didn't think of my usual fears or embarassment. remember if we fix on God, our own fears will slowly disappear and seem unimportant at all. i thank God for the other chances, like fop and the new year's eve retreat, that He brought me back again. God has always brought me back first. He always seeks us first. so let's thank God for who He is. another thing to note. i'm a rather emotional person. so emotions and true foolhardiness led to a series of wrong choices and actions. it was both embarassing and hurtful. so i urge all those who've just gone to be wise, and be careful. if you're touched, don't rely on yourself and your own emotions to judge what should be done. rely on God. not on your own emotions or feelings. you may turn the whole blessed trip to yunhuachun against you, because of your wrong actions after your return. God bless-

timo-
