    second group is my dearest wireless gang (:
    this group of people pulled me through my year 3.. with the laughter, jokes.. nonsense in class.. though the journey to school was often lonely.. but when im in school.. i know i could always count on them to make the day past quickly! (:

    firstly i would have to thank guo ping.. for asking me to be in his FYP group.. without that.. i wouldnt have knew all my wireless gang people.. (:

(: hehe.. thanks ivy!! (:

    goodbyes are never nice.. but that never means that everything is over.. poly is over.. but not those friendships made.. school is over.. but those times that we spent together will always be etched in my heart.. (:

    Thanks everyone (:

    heaven or hell

    heaven and hell are not about geography (e.g. up there, down there)... its all about relationship... and so God invites us into a relationship.. because God is the source of life.. what would happen if we choose not to be with God?...

    memories

    as i sat a cab home from eric's workplace, due to a headache (eric, you know what you did!) (:

    memories of the past flooded my mind... not the 'bad' ones..
    but those times when i felt lonely, that someone came along..
    whenever i feel down, that someone encouraged me..
    whenever i feel tired, that someone urges me to seek the Lord and continue running..
    whenever i feel pity for myself, that someone scolds me (lovingly) and give me a slap on the face to ask me to wake up..
    whenever i feel disappointed with other, that someone points me back to God.. because in God there is never disappointments..


    most of the memories, had eric (esp, the slapping one!) (: but most of it was carol and sabrina too.. ivy.. andy... eddy.. sean.. matthew.. eunice... celine.. all slowly started to fill my mind.. with those encouragements at that time.. those smiles.. those words that i will never forget..

    all these people that helped me along the way... everyone, i believe was God-sent... at the right time..

    gratefulness filled my heart towards them.. at the point of me wanting to run away.. wanting to just give up.. thanks to eric, i remember all these and i became grateful again... i want to thank everyone who helped me along the way.. in another or so.. especially the God-sent sng brothers.. all three of them really indeed was a joy in my life...

    beginning of the year... staying grateful and thankful helps me run a longer way... beginning of the year... and i feel like giving up already... feel so tired.. esp after fyp, felt like a lot has past.. and its just 2 weeks into the new year...

    love

    arent we all chasing for just this one thing.. love?...
    where did we get our instinct to love?...
    the passion that we want to shower on others...

    the tales of a friend... remind me of exactly how God is chasing my friend...
    how much God wants to let him know that He is there for him.. all he needs to do is to acknowledge him... the extent that God went to.. to desire his attention... being logical, he just pushes the spiritual world into the illogical section.. naturally He pushes God into that section..

    the explanation that people gives him about God.. i realised.. he wants experiences.. real life experiences.. but what if that happens.. would he still believe?... If God shows him more clearly.. would we still love him as much as we don't.. is He just that someone that.. you keep looking for.. keep chasing.. and He just stand there aloof.. laughing at our efforts?...

    God has been somehow distant in my life.. or rather should i say, i have rather been distant to Him.. and as i talked and listened to this friend of mine.. it suddenly dawned on me again, the overwhelming love of God..

    the love that i never had experienced for a long time.. the peace.. listening to him talk in the most logical sense.. refuting half of the christian doctrine, indirectly... all the more, made me believe in God and that He is real...

    all the more made me want to share God's love... and the special thing about His love.. it works in different ways.. i made a mistake once, by pushing Christ constantly at him.. today, i just listened to him.. raised a questions here and there, just to listen to him reason out.. i found out so much more.. haha (:

    the love that we were all chasing.. its because it was what God put in us... the longing to be loved... love started.. because God is love.. why would human love?.. which part in their brains.. in their heart teaches them to love?... what is love?.. what is spending time with their loved ones.. it is God who started it.. the fingerprint of God in our lives are so obvious.. and yet....

    God is love..

    We love.. because He first loved us...

    Ivy's wedding was perhaps one of the most special weddings that i have attended so far.. because i was partly involved as her sister..

    I want to thank her for allowing me to be a part of her special day..

    she was really beautiful with her gown..
    and there was a difference in her smile that day..

    it wasnt the usual smile..
    it was a smile of joy and a smile of assurance..
    a smile knowing that she is the getting married to someone that she trust and love dearly..


    they always say the bride is the prettiest on her wedding day..
    well.. true and not true..

    ivy has always been pretty.. she was just especially beautiful on her wedding day.. and i believe she will grow more and more beautiful each day.. (:


    entering 2009 with a wedding.. certainly does show that this year.. might just be an interesting year for all of us..

    this year.. i want to start well and end well.. (:


    and i wouldnt be able to do it without God..
    God, i need your help to end well this year.. and i am willingly to trust you in this.. (:
