The Follow Up…

In response to what Eesuan said…
I’m not saying people shouldn’t blog about their day, but not too excessively.
I have friends who blog about every inanimate detail of their day from the time they took the bus to the number of fishballs they had for lunch, the time they decided to meet their friends to the [...]

Homecoming

Not too long ago, on a regular Friday, I visited my alma mater, Boon Lay Secondary.
Frankly speaking I expected none to remember me but I still went for old times sake.
So there I was, shaking hands with teachers I thought didn’t remember my name, wishing them a very Happy Teachers Day, thanking them for things [...]

Blogging and more

Its not about giving running commentaries about life, listing out the things you did in the day.
Its about expressing your views, voicing out your opinions and thoughts about issues.
Its an avenue so freely provided for people to channel all their frustrations, my catharsis as I would like to call it.
Its about using words as delicately [...]

Joy

When darkness surrounds all of me
You are the light the shines and shows me the way.
When there is nothing but hopelessness and despair,
You stretch your arms to embrace and deliver me.
When I am burdened by my failures that threaten to drown me,
You raise me up and lift my head up with pride.
You’re an awesome God.
When [...]

Euphoria

My last thought yesterday, before sleeping, was of God. I had a good sleep.
My first thought, today, after waking up, was of God.
And I know my day today will be fruitful and blessed. Today, I feel like Joy.
Today, I convinced someone to come to church with me just once, just once and feel the power [...]

Beyond comprehension

I just felt compelled to post these pictures.
For all that I rebuke India for its uncleaniness, chaos and dirty politics, I all the more respect and appreciate it for its distinct features, beauty and culture (Although I still think certain aspects of its tradition and culture is ridiculous)
This is the Taj Mahal, a man’s greatest [...]

To you my darling sister

She hands me a paper unevenly torn around the edges with the following words scribbled on it:
Always remember this Joy:
Always believe that a man’s finest hour, his greatest fulfillment of all he holds dear, is the moment he’s worked his heart out in good cause, and lies exhausted on the field of battle, VICTORIOUS!
– From: [...]

“It is Done”

Today, the choir was recruiting.
And I heard my twin (hehe) elder sister sing for the very first time. As in, I heard her voice and all.
Praise God! I can’t thank Him enough for whatever He’s done in our lives so that we grow closer. Its amazing. What an awesome God we have. I love you [...]
