hey LOG!
really loved the sharing we had last night. and also the morning (wee hours i mean) discussion on the thorny issue. i feel much better with yall behind me, its difficult to swallow that I have caused so much division, and worse that I will need to address it. and truly, towards the end of it, before I went to sleep (which was really very late), i can say now again that I love you guys! =)
i am honestly waiting to handover the YMC chair seat. not that it makes me busy, its that I feel my divided attention between both the YM and LOG may be taking its toll. unfair to LOG as well. so yes, soon, one more month!!
love
Mark

this is really random. i rmb smtg from an ntu comms grad speech made by the author of the teenage textbook (a local movie from ten thousand yrs ago).
he/she (hahah i really forgot if its a he or she) said doing the right things will make you unpopular. many historical people have demonstrated this, including one who got nailed to the cross ((: if you and your ideas are popular, you can be sure its not right.
i, and i think i can speak on behalf of the whole log, even if we disagree with some of your opinions, will support you as a community!
go tang tang!

i want to rant. then a reflection on where I'm heading in life.
read my note on the Truth. was I too offensive? though I don't intend to apologize because I do really feel that its time for me to say something about it. I personally don't think its wrong to strongly encourage communities to embrace what the Church teaches.
I cannot emphasize more on the dilemas LOG's core had for a few years now - where can we find growth? If we were to teach from what we know, knowledge goes around in circles and we have reminder sessions rather than input sessions. After exposed to Theology of the Body, I feel there's so much we can learn from it and grow from it. It isn't about rules, nor about explanations on Church's stands on issues, nor about intellectual debate - it is about knowing what God wants to tell us through Pope John Paul II.
Perhaps there is a distorted view of what the TOB study group does. By virtue that we study the material, we really study it, hence the format of how our session goes. If Theology is all in the head, then it is really not theology - it must speak to the heart which is what me, Mel, Po and Soo have experienced over the past year, and also the reason why we are so eager to share with everyone.
Seems like I'm doing a hard sell. but I say the same for bible study, learning about salvation history and the great teachings the Church has to offer. I'm weary of knowing God's love from one dimension - that Jesus was sent to die for our sins. I have appreciated it and love God for it but as I grow in further appreciation, I will see it if I am told that God had kept on trying to save us since the start of creation when Man fell.
Perhaps I am trying to say everything in the short while I am left as YMC head. But perhaps this is just overdue.

ok hello loggers! haha. its still me. just to share some of my thoughts about my own life. im sure yall have heard how i complain that business is really boring, need more challenge and interesting things in academia. i basically have 2 paths to go, adding a third today potentially. One, is to make it big in the business world, makes loads of money so that I can travel the world to see God's creation, cure my Dad's sickness and be charitable to help people. Second, go straight into social enterprise or green technology to help people directly through material means - the mission that I had discerned for. Third, which came to me at home - why not go study the whole Theology of the Body and be a speaker for it? interesting eh.
well, i will try and see how for all I guess. but i will need to long time of discernment and time basically to know where will be best. Today at mass I just feel this conviction to live for God. Yet at a same time I feel that being here, at this moment in my life, I just feel so helpless and clueless about what will come. Pray for me yeah!
love
