Played futsal with CG today. What I knew all along was displayed in front of everyone. I'm hopeless at kicking the ball! Totally kaki bangku. Thankfully, the guys were polite enough to not laugh at my face. Haha. Kicked the ball to the wrong opponent because my angle was off. Kicked the ball so softly that Peter said I didn't eat enough rice. Apologizing too much to people when I got in their way.
But it was really fun. Although most of the time was spent trying to duck from being hit by the football. With eight guys and four girls, the guys were nice enough to not play rough with us girls although there were some minor unintentional mishaps along the way. Yet it really bonded us together. Yea, it was a good experience. Something new. Something different. Something interesting. Something Sarah would never do but had do because the whole CG went.
It also reminded me about my CG experience. Initially didn't really like CG. Felt everyone was so different, especially the Commenwealth, where there are super risk taking business students to computer programming students who are so "canggih" in computer jargon. Engineering students who are so systematic, to a law student who debates on the questions in the study material. And of course, medical students like yours truly who are often the most "unhappening" people around.
But hey, it's really a great mix of people. Bordens my views. Allows me to be more open. Rubs off their creativity to me. Encourage me to be more bold. To be vulnerable and accountable. Brings a new dimension to the way I relate to people and God. Hearing on and on about how Setiawan is the best place in Malaysia (and how "Fu Chau" people are the best). And having the guy from Tanggak disagreeing. People who won't mind driving all the way to PJ/USJ to pick us to church and back. Not forgetting, telling super lame jokes with Jesse about how we are "related." Believe me, the mix of Jesse and Richard plus a bit of Philip= lethal laughing session.
Looking forward to the next retreat! Thank you Lord for CG. The various people. Different personalities. Yet, You who binds us all together.
