title: life is fragile "BANG!" and you see, all's gone in a flash. life is so so fragile. one day, probably while doing the least dangerous thing you consider, you may just be gone in a flash as well. like, while walking down some stairs, you miss one and hit your head. unrealistic? think again. it happened to the principal of my tuition centre and she passed away due to the hard fall. what else can describe life except fragile? it really is you know! jay walking is another example. just to get to the opposite end in probably 1 min faster, you take the gamble of a 50% chance of killing yourself! i'm not talking about those kinds of minor jay walks like crossing when the whole road is empty. i'm referring to really those that carry out major jay walking like running cross the road when the car is just 10m away just to catch a bus when it's obvious you can't. love life! don't take such a huge risk! then again, how do you define minor and major jay walks? you have yours and i have mine. probably you presume that you know the rhythm of the road so so well (oops, haha), but accidents aren't called accidents for nothing! i'm not kidding! after hearing your prayer request, something weighed in me so heavily. i wish your friend well and that God will place His healing hands on her so that she'll be fine again. i pray that He'll bless her and take care of her. and that she'll wake up soon. Amen. Labels: love life |

title: a day to remember i had a great great day just yesterday spending time with my parents. it was a wonderful experience because sad to say, the previous one was ages ago. the laughters, the memories, the jokes that we cracked.. its priceless. i found out something new about my dad too! he said that when he was young, he used to visit those bars and watched all the performances till the bar had to close. this suddenly made me figure out why i also enjoy such visits to bars though few. we're quite alike aren't we? we love to crack jokes and laugh, although my dad always appears to be serious and quiet. he's quite a nice man, to think about it. okay, not quite, but really a nice man. no wonder my mum would fall for him. haha. oh, and it has been ages since we walked down orchard road to appreciate the christmas lightings! and eat those 1 dollar cone ice-creams together! too bad my brother wasn't there or he would have completed the numbers in the family. and that would really mean a family outing! this mini shopping experience with them really made me love them even more and treasure them more than ever. i shall start planning the next one! :) such simple joys in life like spending time with our parents is often neglected, ain't it? this pace that the world is moving at would really strip away precious time that we have to carry out those simple joys. i've learnt that yesterday, have you learnt yours? food for thought: when was the last time you spent quality time with those you dearly love?

title: WHY? why? i've always been wondering. how many times a day will a person say why? or how many times an hour will a person think why? i guess it's countless. we're all made to question many things sometimes. why is the sky blue and clouds white? why is the grass green and the tree trunks brown? why is this this, and why is that that? have you wondered? i have. i've always wondered why. always. however, always wondering why doesnt guarantee always getting an answer for it. i'm quite sure only God can answer all my why questions. but that does not necessarily mean i'll get it. God has His reasons too and yes, i'll just have to wait. so, i've come to a conclusion. there's 3 possibilities to my why questions: 1. the answer itself. 2. wait and you'll find out. 3. you're not going to know that answer in your lifetime. haha. why oh why..

title: mixed feelings tick.. and the clock struck 9! ITS OVER! o's have OFFICIALLY ENDED! this is such an incredible feeling, it's just so hard to describe. and how did i celebrate it? i went to malaysia to shop with ling hui! well.. didnt really buy much, but had a great and fun time over there. haha on the other note, the equation balances out like this: end of o's = end of secondary school. i must say this equation is one that can be nerve wrecking at times. where am i to be or to go once i've completed my secondary education? to a JC? or a Poly? to the arts stream or the science stream? to which course out of the countless courses in Poly? wow.. look at the vast choices to choose from! though it may not be as many as when you step into a uni or into the society, it just feels overwhelming at this point where you have only been up to this stage. well... i guess it all voices down to faith and trust. faith in believing what is unseen in the future and trusting that God's plan would be the best of all. this also means listening- listening to God's calling. i read a book today. it was about passion to serve and making a difference. the book mentioned something that i found real meaningful. "passion is a gift from God to empower you" so.. this thought came to me. instead of always looking for where my passion lays, why not i discover the passion that God has already laid for me? and yes.. that's what i shall do! although i may not know how long i'll take to discover it or how to even start discovering it, i'll keep trying till the day i discover the passion that comes from God. and finally, just once more, O's are OVER!

title: in the blink of an eye there has always been this thing in me that kept me from believing the phrase where people say "in the blink of an eye, everything will past." seriously, i've experienced times where i've blinked as much as i can and i'm still... where i am! so how can it be true that in the blink of AN eye, all will past?! well.. thats just if you take it literally though. however, i've really experienced it today! it's my 2nd last paper today and i'm really glad! just 3 weeks ago, i was just wondering how i can ever get through this 1 month long exam period. and... really, almost in the blink of an eye, i've only 1 more paper left next week! all thanks to God who really just aided me through this whole time and for all the friends that kept encouraging me. it's coming to an end, and i cant express how glad i am! soon, i'm gonna close this chapter of my life and flip open a brand new one. the thought of it is exciting, scary and oh also saddening at the same time. but, i believe all will be fine just as this chapter is =) what's more, God will be with me through each and every chapter!
