Beauty...
It has a way of speaking volumes without even saying a word
Juz looking at those clouds..
on a very normal, weekday sunset
conjures up so many emotions within me..
essays can be written juz abt tt awesome sight
Simplicity..
Shared this thought the other day...
And it has come to my attention that other sights exist..
all around me, there are sights worth savouring
Of savouring...
Ice Cream on a still night
Coffee in a quiet office
A sip of water in the middle of field camp
THE FA Cup semi-final run by Giggs
Laughter..every single time :)
A bottle of coke at Payatas
Signing of the SAF clearance form on ur last day
Providing company on the walks home
Choc cake @ Bakerzin..anytime!
Every MOMENT
Every moment spent :)
A Culmination..

Dont quit
And a new day has dawned. The bridge has a foundation and a decent structure..i hope.
New job, new pple, new environment, new pay, new challenges, new opportunities. And you. As always :)
The tasks at hand seem rather daunting..but hey, wats to fear when u've got faith inside and great help by ur side ;) Travelling time was shorter than expected..great :) Its good to know that the time spent in ministry and council is gonna help with the new job...skills gained are ever valuable eh ;)
..hear the voice...it calls for you to hang in there...
Random: Lawrence has FINALLY replied...phew...really hope he helps with the uni sign-up or sumthin...For the decision's been made but financing the dream is gonna be an issue :P So ya, 'class' was erm..good..at least there was company..great company...haha! Three time's a charm eh?! Gosh I really dunno la.. looks like Kaplan has a special place in my heart..thanx to the wonderful pple i got to meet there..the course is comin to a close, sadly :( Guess the upside is tt we got a good education and forged some great ties along the way.. Its abt time to move on and I really dunno if I'm..or we're ready..
Seriously, I'm gonna miss the train rides with the best train kakis one can get...the funny incidents, the weird gestures, the silent 'moments', the multi-lingual banter and the constant suan-ing of Vick 'the man' Nesh or Chong Han's relatives :D hahhahah!! One happening example wld be tdy.. on the way back, CH was ranting bout how his relatives are gonna be parasites by prodding him with questions bout marriage like there's no tomorrow...esp the older folk during the CNY period. So a stroke of genius brought about this statement...the statement tt was supposed to end all the questioning..and maybe even subsequent visits for years to come :) -
Oldie : Ah boy ah...when you gonna get m-m-mmarried?? And When can I see my grandkids??
CH (or anyone in his position who's daring enough) : Hmm...well, not anytime soon..cos I dun want my marriage to clash with ur funeral.. very suay la... -_---------
Goodness gracious me..lol!!! (I suppose we nearly scared the other passengers in the train with our laughter at this point)
..when there's a will, there's a way...

The story of...
The silent walk within the confines of the mind. The pace was quick, as were the thoughts.
The search for a warrior..companion..and friend was not to be easy.
Alas..there he was..in a quiet corner..a reflection of self..well, it was somewhat accurate :)
He had a certain air about him..subtle, yet majestic.
i have said wat I've said...and I'm glad I did..heh, to think I was once given an option to take it all back...
He didn't move a muscle, didn't say a word...Yet I was drawn to the corner where he lay
There were others like him..but I must say, he was different...unique...special.
People passed by without taking notice..
But he didn't mind...he knew that his destiny lay in the hands of royalty.
In his case, destiny decided to play nice.
There are ideas that need to be expressed..the urgency is there...mainly because of the rush that is..you
He was surrounded by competition..but they all knew they never could quite match up to him
He was built for harsh weather...tough conditions and didn't need to be waited on
He..is a warrior..
He was trained to listen, feel and understand..
He is a friend...
He was trained to be there for his master, day in, day out - through all the sun shines and storms
He is a companion...
The subtle gestures..the quiet games...love them all
Protection, Care and Presence is what he was built to exude..and that is what he hopes to accomplish
Failure is not an option...for, tough as his persona may seem to be..he truly is all soft inside
They say the eyes are the windows of the soul..
When you look deep into his eyes..All he has for a soul, is your reflection
To be allowed to serve in your sweet presence is all he asks..
He is... a soft hedgehog..and so much more
=)
I am...I humbly am...Thanks to you, I am so much more.
- Of a baby...and smiles...keep at it :) -

I Live
I Love
I Laugh
And...tts wat im up to now :D Things have been good.. Thank YOU :)
Have Faith
Have Hope
Have Love
SMILE!! For ur life's an occasion...rise to it! Wise words from a certain Mr.Magorium.. If you haven't watched tt movie..you ought to do so asap! It's not to be missed..
I've been thinking a lot abt tt block of wood in the movie.. Wat is your block of wood?
Tt certain thing in your life tt would prolly give you the biggest kinds of rewards / serve as a great source of inspiration or at the same time, be a source of great disappointment?
I dunno.. but its an interesting thought..
Watever it may be, I guess tt its best to just believe. Period.
Having faith and believing...it would most definitely make a difference in our lives.
It may sound too simple or naive even.. But hey, if its gonna help and has all the potential in it, aint it worth a shot?? It's better than living ur whole life with huge 'What Ifs' floating ard in ur head, if u ask me.
The only way tt this 'block of wood' may serve as a disappointment is when its left alone to be what it is, a block of wood and nothing more..
So i'd suggest tt we try to seek inspiration from the otherwise mundane objects in our lives..and by objects, i mean people as well.
When we believe in something, it changes us as well.. Now, wouldnt it be nice if someone believed in us too? :)
And for a short update...new job in sight..very unique opportunity i must say ;) Mum and dad are recovering..great! Philip C is back..grr.. his lessons are so darn dry, pple blatantly fall asleep right in front of him..and he claims tt we bully him..man, i wonder who the victim is here -_-
I found a great course from Swinburne Uni... hope all goes well. Oh btw, here's to cooking sessions and satin curtains ;) Ook, i admit..randomness galore..lol
- I believe..in love ;) how bout u? -

And its the new year already...wow...right.
1.1.08, and, I messed up.
This sucks.
A comment..a mistake..a mess.
Never was it intended, though.
Genuine error on my part..
I hope you understand. I'm sorry!
It shall never be said again, you have my word
The silence is deafening
The pain is getting harder to bear..and i'm to blame.
Hoping..waiting..trying...
Please, forgive me
-Ouch..and I know you feel it too...sorry again-
