Goodbye college life =)
After procrastinating for months, I finally decided that I should write about my college life before I forget about the things that warmth my heart, made me cry and laugh at the same time, took my breath away and ignited a spark in me.
If you ask me how my college life was, my eyes would probably gleam, drift into a thoughtful stare next and finally soften into a grateful glance. I doubt that words would ever be enough to describe the experience I had in college, but I would say that it is the best that I could ever have.
I met many people, made acquaintance with most of them, became good friends with some of them and became a family with a few of them. I truly thank God for every single life that inspired me to be a better person and for the wonderful blessings that they have showered on me. Somehow, God always knew the right time to send the right people into my life.
These people have definitely added colours to my college life. Honestly, I really don't know what to do without them =)
Even when I was at my lowest moments, I was never alone because of my family and friends who constantly loved and cared for me. I find it really hard to describe every challenge that came my way while I was still in college but I remember one thing, God always made a way. =) For that, I'm eternally thankful.
I don't know how many times I was asked to give a farewell speech that I often end in tears, or how many times I had to say good bye to the people I love dearly, sobbing away. I don't remember ever crying that much, laughing that much, or being inspired as much. I never felt more excited about life, about love, or about our Lord. I've learnt so much, but the greatest lesson of all is love.
I learnt that we can talk about all the theories and laws that we know in our minds but without love, they are all pointless. I learnt that we can serve a lot but without love, we wear out fast. I learnt that we can have amazing results and good qualifications but without love, we're just like anyone else who can study well. I learnt that to be the light, you have to take the lowest position, hold on to your stand, love and forgive unconditionally, give a lending hand whenever you can, give as much as possible, be sacrificial and always focus on God. In fact, it's not easy because you usually end up becoming the odd one out. Plus, you have less time to study. haha! Anyhow, that's not the point, isn't it?
God has given me so much more than what I deserve and I know that it is all because of His grace.
Good bye college life, I'll remember what you've taught me :)

I had the three girls from class that were constantly on my nerves by picking on me but loved me in their own special way.
Then, the two boys whom I often had educational/weird topics to debate with but we taught each other so much more than we had ever known although we are so different.
I also had the "Foyer Gang" that I studied together with before exams but we had always ended up talking, laughing and eating. We still keep in touch almost everyday although everyone has went their separate ways since the road trip last year. =D
Tiffany, the best mentor anyone could ever have to teach me, comfort me, pray for me and to encourage me at all times.
My best friend who would cry with me during overwhelming moments, make up crazy songs with me, remind me who I am and to love me at my worst state.
My favourite roomie who was always there to wash with me, cook with me, sleep with me, pray with me and SHOP with me! =P We have impacted each other so much =)
The friemily-gang whom I went for a road trip with and we're like a family+friend combination because we cook and do family stuff =D They are very caring =)
And of course, not missing out my warm homies who love God so much and who are always so encouraging.
Last but not least, these are my CF members who always laughed at my lame jokes and were very welcoming to my loud voice and laughter. These people served God with all their hearts and gave me so many priceless opportunities.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
