It has been HRC english speaking youth ministry's tradition to hold a bible sharing meeting during the 1st Sunday of every month. However, it seemed kinda obvious that with the more amount of bible sharings we hold, the less the number of participants. Kinda like an inverse graph, get it?
Guess what, even Aunty Susan also lazy to attend! Heh.
We buka puasa as usual after mass. No free meals from the youth funds this time...aiyer, next time don't want to attend already. Oops.
Brother Andrew Ho was desperately trying to rope in some of the kids there but to no avail. All these kids there are either too cool, too busy or too lansi-lanyongtaufu to give a hoot about our presence.
In the end, this was how small the group had become. What a sight for sore eyes!
However, Bridget and another guy came later and joined us..so not so bad lah, although the number still could be counted be two hands.
Who says bible sharing can't be fun? See, even the ever-serious Juliana can manage a smile and laugh along as well.
Our topic for discussion today was 'Faith' and what it meant to us.
Juliana asked me whether I had listen to what the readings were about during mass. Sorry to say but I did not pay enough attention to remember what it was about. With my quick thinking, I diverted the question to the Paul Chuah who was sitting opposite me, hoping to push the responsibility on someone else.
What do you know? He doesn't listen as well.
And it's not just the both of us. Even Clarice, Bridget, Regina, etc also doesn't listen to the sermons or readings.
So we found out today that most of us don't listen to readings. Hmm, do we actually even pay attention during mass itself? A question to ponder on.
Maybe of course, with the exception of Brother Andrew.
We proceeded to talked about faith and stuff and other related matters which I can't possibly remember. And bla bla bla, yada yada yada...and the end!
THOSE OF YOU THAT DIDN'T ATTEND THIS ONE BETTER ATTEND THE NEXT ONE...OR ELSE!
Or else nothing la. What could we possibly do to you?
So...what is faith and what does it mean to you? :-)

i can't really put it all in words for u at the moment as it is rather a subjective thing. faith means a whole lot of things to me, from the things i do to the things i see.
how abt u?

hmmmm my Sunday School teacher (15 years ago) told me that: Faith is a gift from God.
I guess that's a lousy answer. If you tell this to your Protestant friend sure kena tembak depan blakang side bottom.
