♥ ikea. coffee. update.
ikea is amazing.
I was feeling pretty bleh today, so I dragged myself out of the house and tagged along with louis and co to the big yellow and blue building
They have this totally awesome "eat your discount" deal this week, which basically means.. you eat at their cafe / restaurant, and however much you spent on food, gets deducted from your purchases at the check out
HOW AWESOME IS THAT?
I was very happy. Even though I got lost....
Anyways I just think it's such a good idea. It attracts so many customers and everyone is happy!
We even went to san churros after and got free coffee (yes, did you know, every wednesday in my, they were doing free copy? AMAZING. even though i hate coffee.)
Anyways, I know I haven't blogged about my life in a while. What's been happening?
Med's getting better. Or maybe I'm becoming more tolerant.
Exams are in like two weeks, and I'm being....... rather lazy. Which is not good. Especially with an assessed oral presentation and report due next week...
Seriously, what am I doing?
Time to get off my butt and do some work...
On other news, I've officially dropped generate and taken up lifegroup leadership.
Generate. I don't know. My excuse was that I didn't have enough time. And that's true. But I guess what's more true is that, I didn't feel like I was getting that much out of it. Investing time into something that wasn't particularly worth while for me.. I guess it's just silly. The culture of the group as well, was a bit odd I thought. I just find it really weird that it's "normal" to put together all these people passionate about eradicating poverty - and they come together to head out, party and get drunk. I don't know, maybe because it's not my thing, that I don't understand. Most of all, I just felt there was this BIG thing missing in everything they do. And I realized it even on camp... they're missing God in the whole process. Everything they do, they rely on human effort and money. They want to give people food to keep them alive, but what about hope? faith? life? eternal life.
Lifegroup leadership. I think this is where God wants me to be right now. This is where I can grow. This is where I can be influential to others. This is where I want to be right now.
And that's what's been happening in a nutshell.

♥ Oaktree Generate Retreat
19 March - 20 March 2011
 |
| me & chris @ global dinner groups were divided proportionately according to the world's distribution of wealth we happened to be on the wealthy table (yay!) and got to eat spaghetti bolognese! |
 |
| some others also got to sit on a table - but their meal was just rice and some meat. |
 |
| and a big proportion of people had to sit on the floor and share rice and soup between each other. a great activity i thought! really an eye opener to the proportion of the world that is living in poverty. and also how ignorant we can be - being 'rich'. |
 |
| night time fun :) done with the lights off mobile phones haha! |
 |
| are you a north, south, east or west? I'm a North :) |
 |
| The Scavenger Hunt / Amazing Race / Photo Taking Quest! |
 |
| our take on "global partnership" |
 |

 |
| The Oaktree Generate Crew of 2011 |
