CTC - Wisdom

I'm lusting for an item from Pull&Bear.
Again.

It's an adorable (adorable??!!?) grey sweater that's too big, and on sale at RM99.00.
What is with me and luxury mens hoodies/jumpers, honestly?

Poster I stole from Jeremy's facebook.

I'll keep this really simple, since this, ironically, isn't a simple topic.... 

Just finished my first (and I dread to think that it may be my only) CTC conference organized by CERC (Christ's Evangelical Reformed Church) that I sometimes attend (the word 'sometimes' is so unglamorously used in this context). It's based in Subang and pastored by Robin Gan.

*side note, unleashing giggly, ditzy, teenage side of me*
I like this Robin Gan very much despite being sooo intimidated by him.
I think Robin is so cool. Jerome too. They are like, celebrity status to me.
Gosh if anyone ever reads this and tells them, I'd be so embarrassed.
The last time Robin Gan chatted with me, he mentioned my name! (Omg he knows my nameeee! *fans self*)
an incredibly ONE-SIDED conversation, *face palm*
And whenever I talk to Jerome, I somehow can't get beyond 'hi.' So... awkward....

The guest speaker was Dr Barry Webb, an Australian, and... if you can just read the blurred picture above for more details...

I liked the conference very much! The content was definitely there, and the message was given in an intensely practical, informative fashion, although I have to spend my Penang trip (well, the rest of my life, really) dwelling on the slew of Bible quotations and theological terminologies that were thrown (in a very "university lecture" style, I say with a familiar smile on my face) in our direction. 

I felt like I was attending one of my future classes (philosophy in religion, anyone?). Plus, the room totally "smelled like overseas" lol, if I may put it so crudely, and if that even made sense...

Robin: *upon paraphrasing Joel's question for Dr Barry, gabbers off in a purposefully thick Malaysian accent* Aiyah, what if ah, my son ah, never get straight As for SPM but only 2As because he no time to study for exam lah, always got bible study la, church la, youth la, conference la, being a Christian very bad mou, he cannot become Christian, I don't let him I don't care! How ah?
Dr Barry: Wow, speaking in tongues now...
LOLOLOL.
