Old Times at BSF
hey! sorry guys. been abondoning my blog. went to sydney for a week cos the school choir was in a competition there and my sister was in the choir. go figure. it wasn't as much fun i'd expected it to be cos it kept raining. anyway, got lazy and swamped by homework which i have been doing since i came back from sydney and i'm still stuck on my stupid killer spesh maths application assignment. yes, yes, i know it's due before the hols but what can i do if i dunno how to do?
anyway, enough of that nonsense. was nostalgic about BSF(Bible Study Fellowship) when i read about it in Jess' blog. haha. i know you guys are thinking "oh no, another God blog." hey, it's not ok. nowhere close. i wasn't inspired to write about THAT. ahaha. just missed the times there.
as usual in BSF, i'm usually THE LATEST person to arrive. nyahaha. my nasty old habit. i would be rushing to the freaking class. sometimes, i see them heading to the hall while i'm heading to the class. i'll be like o_O!! should i follow or not? and then we have the singing. not long songs but just two and they are sung in a relatively faster than normal speed. ahaha. what do i do then? if i'm high (i usually am), i would be singing in all sorts of weird tones. low then high :P. accents. so basically i wasn't really singing *winks*. sometimes ppl would laugh with me (although i know they usuall laugh at me). other times, they join me. haha. i'm such a crowd stirrer.
we would be laughing and then i get the BSF teacher behind me. depending on who my teacher was for that semester. but i remember mr yun sometimes laughed along and then shut us up. haha.
and then, we get to the class part where we are usually given questions the week before. Most of us would have either not done it or just did it an hour before the study. haha. none of us EVER memorised the memory verses. they will always have to try to do on the spot memorisation. we usually passed questions and said nothing on all the hard, difficult, soul-searching questions and the teachers will AGAIN have to try to dig something out. sometimes when someone doesn't know the answer, we help him. haha. yes, we're a lot of helpful people.
homiletics(summary that we're suppose to do) was like a game. who can crap out the whole bible passage in 15 words. most of the time, it doesn't even makes sense. shows how ingenious all of us are XD.
i had to try to keep my eyes wide open. some ppl draw. some msg through hp. christine and i used to write "notes" in our notebook. our secret conversations. when she left for malacca, i lost my talking buddy. i was left to drawing. then everything changed when one by one, all of us dropped out. haha. only matthew was left with all the newbies who were TOTALLY INTO BSF! no offense to any of them ok.
you think we're bad? try listening to the adults outside. they're always laughing at something or other. i mean, is the bible really that amusing?
