I pray that you would have more of Him and less of me during this period, so you can really be stronger through Him who strengthens.. Let Him be your tower/pillar of refuge and not anyone/anything else.. till then.. take care..

Your Faithful,

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left.

Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!” “I can’t help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, “Sadness, let me go with you.” “Oh….Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself.”

Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!

Suddenly there was a voice, “Come Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way.

Love realizing how much he owed the elder, asked Knowledge, another elder. “Who helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?” Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because, only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”

"The word 'love' has been overused and much abused. People still don't understand the word and it may as well lost it's meaning in the confusion of it's definition. Consider the word 'Cherish'. It is rarely used nowadays. It still holds a deep and unmistakable emotion. Say it, mean it and live it today" -Darren

Work has been really hectic for me.. i have been skipping proper lunchtime and ot-ing for the past don't know how many days, and it will be on going like this for the next few days. Now i know what they meant when they say accountant life is never easy.. you really need to enjoy what you are doing to survive through..

On a lighter note, i have gotten myself a jie jie at my workplace. She is really nice. She gave me choc and grapes to cheer me on with work just now..



thank you so much, jie! you rock my sock!

Sometimes caring for people, you just have to do it without them sensing it, if not you would be adding unwanted pressures for them to respond and reciprocate back the kindness compellingly.

It is really an art that i am mastering now..

I AM ONCE AGAIN A PROUD FINISHER OF ADIDAS SUNDOWN MARATHON..WOOOhOOOO!! It's the second time I have completed it.. hence.. Some applauded me, and some simply say that I am some siao nang(mad guy), as they don't know why I am torturing myself again after knowing how the experience was like from the previous time.. Most people don't see any purpose in doing so.. which sets me thinking.. what am I exactly doing it for..

After some reflection, I finally concluded. Perhaps, I too, did that for a purpose, however, the purpose is to make my life more fulfilling, and I am really happy to have raced this marathon, because it makes me who I really am.. despite the sore, ache and pain that I am going thru now..

I feel that sometimes living a happy life need not necessarily mean that your life has to be completely purpose driven, but more so if you are living it enough in a manner you wished. It's ok if you like to do childish stuff, and it is ok if you do out of the norm stuff as long as it triggers the happy hormones within you, and let you stay happy sha la la. I think it's fine..

afterall..

...We are given a life to make the best out of it.. not a life trying to figure out life..

I will be doing the ADIDAS SUNDOWN MARATHON 2010 tonight, starting 2359.. Don't really know what to expect, because it is like my first time participating it alone. Just wishing to see some familiar faces during the run, so that the whole process will be more enjoyable for me. If not, i just hope that the entire run will be a good time of self-reflections and prayers..

The route that i will be doing later..It seems much easier compared to last year's..



We think what we feel, so why not, just think positively..

A song written personally by them..

Can you identify yourself with them?

They live on to tell their legacy, so could you..
