Vanity of vanities! All is vanity. (Ecc 1:1)

gee, I know I am alienated and anti-social when there are three different things happening on 23rd feb, and I feel like going for none. there is the tiertiary cell group cny steamboat dinner at sue's place i think, and i don't feel like going cos sometimes i just need the space to zone out from communal stuff. there is a ps department dinner at the hilton hotel organized by the ps profs and they made it totally free for the honors students, but i just find the thought of talking and eating with profs and classmates at a table for 2 hours a tedious chore. they've thrown in eunice olsen as well, but i think that makes it easier for me to decide not to go. there is also deb's gig at homeclub; nothing wrong with her music, but i usually feel out of place in clubby places. oh, and there is core team retreat over the weekend, which i told lydia that i am not going because of a very legitimate reason that i got a mid-sem test and 2 chapters of thesis (maybe 5000 words???) for dr ruby the following day.

i think space-out jim is back again, running away from everyone. it feels therapeutic to have an ecclesiastical social black out once in a while though.

met up with shengwei and ainsley today. i'm quite surprised by how the three of us are drawn to a pretty good commitment to meet up regularly to go through bibe studies. today we did it at the national library after i accompanied ain to do his guitar shopping at bras basah. i think for this year, despite all the space out crap that i like to entertain myself with, i ought to try to keep to the commitment in this mentoring business.

commitment of commitments. it's all about commitment... and that bit of longsuffering?
