reflections v2.0
let the insanity continue.

4) and 5) Name one male (female) who greatly impacted your life in a positive way (then one who impacted you in a negative way), and describe why.

i can't pick one. sorry. i got at least 6 (not a comprehensive list, these are the people i probably spent the most time with, so please don't hate me if your name isn't on here. there are MANY people who had a positive impact on my life in some way or another. chances are, you're also one of them).

peter wang, my roommate. sure, his unceasing love for gaming and spending hours in front of his computer drove me crazy from time to time, but looking back, i can't imagine rooming with anybody else. i have seen God move him in new areas this year, most notably, in his love and hope for a drag ministry. God is going to do great things through him -- i just know it. he is also probably the person who makes me laugh the most.


xiao yu. i had the privilege of living across the hall from this guy, and next year, i get to live with him in 151. i don't know what it is about him, but sometimes when i'm feeling really stressed or worn out, just opening the door and seeing him in front of his computer look up at me can just lift my spirits. i don't know, it's a strange phenomenon. and he's like a big stuffed animal. i can't even count the number of times i walked into his room and just started hugging him or poking him. he also has a lot of wisdom in that brain of his. AND he's an EE major. what are the odds?


titus lam. throughout the year, he's always been there for me. i remember this one time at aacm large group, i was going through some rough stuff, and this one song just really hit me hard, and i quietly exited the room and walked outside. i was just sitting there on the sidewalk praying in tears, when all of a sudden titus sits down next to me. that guy is such a good listener -- i must have rambled for about 20 minutes about every topic imaginable, but he just sat there with his hand on my shoulder. i definitely will never forget that night.


phillip lee. sometimes his use of money kinda gets to me, but i'd have to say that he is the most generous friend i have. he really knows how to take care of his friends and make them feel loved. he has a huge heart for people, and he does everything with passion. he's one person i know i can rely on to carry me around campus if i break an ankle or beat the crap out of somebody if someone messes with me. okay, maybe not the latter, cuz that's wrong, but i think you get the idea.


andrew koller, my co-leader. it's been awesome getting to know this guy better this year. we've found out that in many ways, we are actually frighteningly similar, but i mean, there's no such thing as too much of a good thing, right? right. i'd say we both got off to a pretty slow start with our small group, but throughout the year, we both kinda picked up off each other and really got things rolling. i look forward to yet another year with this guy next year.


last, but not least, meson woo. you wouldn't know it by looking at him, but this guy actually brings a lot of good stuff to the table. i don't know how many times i've muttered the words "sigh, meson.." but yet another year in his small group has helped me to discover what exactly grace could possibly see in him. just kidding. grace, don't hurt me =(


there it is, folks. now you can decide which of these answers belonged to question 4) or 5).
