PROUD OF OUR COOL YOUNG

( l-r : Tze Teng, Laura Ann, Me, Su Yan and Rach)

In the past 10 months, my journey has been most interesting. I have made quite a few young friends and I enjoy them tremendously. They are refreshing and I have learnt much from them. To name but a few of the treasures i found in them :-

• they are polite, most times more so than us adults (tsk, tsk)


• they speak their minds and express their opinions/feelings well
  
• they are multi talented
  
• they have great sense of fashion (super vain lah)
  
• they are adventurous


• they keep strange hours


• their lingo is quite cool (I'm still trying to learn it)


• they are more open to new ideas then we ever were


• they have great networking


• they are under tremendous pressure (peers, studies, work, family)


• some are totally spoilt
  
• they have more money than I do (how's that again?)

I could go on and on. What surprised me most is, I really enjoy their company. I enjoy their willingness to open up, their exuberance for life and their ability to speak up for what they believe in. Most of all, I envy their networking. What a great time to be young.

I must say, I am most proud of our SIB's youth. (yeah, so I am biased) I see great hope in them. They stand up for their faith in Christ, and yes, althou I sometimes see them struggle, yet, they keep their faith. Wow! How I wish I had friends like them to impact me in my youth.

It's never too late. Even as our youth now impact my children - they impact me too.

It's a beautiful world and we have a wonderful God.
