beyond all that people have to say about hard-selling, targets, fame, money and all in the church, at the end of the day, nothing can replace those moments where it is just me and Him.

as Dec creeps by ignoring our pleas to slow down, the harsh reality of many things being out of our control stares hard at us squarely in the face.

nevertheless, just as time moves on unrelentlessly, so do our lives.

making the best of it, yes that is what i want to achieve. but is that really enough?

when the unexpected suddenly turns on you, how would you react, what would you do.

the one place that many turn away from, i'm somehow quite glad that that very place is where i can run to.

my tower of refuge, the comforting shoulder that drew me in from the very beginning, the longest distance our mind is from - where our knees meet the cold hard floor.

HUMILITY.

a word not for the fainthearted. but very very necessary.

do you know me

come a little closer
you may see the pain that you so identify with

walk a little closer
you may feel the shivers that blankets you at night

step a little closer
you may sense that beneath the smile lies someone you are barely acquainted with

draw a little closer
you may not know the me, as me

Just an inspiration

好想念过去的日子,仿佛好像都是一场梦。

梦,总是会有醒来的时候。

就算我们有多舍不得,梦醒时分总会到来。

过去的你,现在又如何?

现在的我,不知不觉改变了。

现在的我,好想回到从前。

回忆总是甜美的,现实却是残酷的。

多想有你来陪伴我走过残酷的现实,但你却有如天上的小鸟,展翅高飞,离我越来越遥远。

太阳暖暖的抚摸了我,提醒说夜晚将过去,黎明即将来临。

但倔强的我,还是想念着过去的你。

当一切已面目全非,我多希望能留在梦境里。

因为那里有你。

但太阳已把夜晚赶去。

你也离我而去。

坚强的我,会一步一步地走下去。

走进另一个有你,的梦境里。

A post like those from the other blogs - perhaps, perhaps not

I slept for the longest time today. Woke up at 945am and then went back to sleep again at close to 1pm.

Lots of noise the whole time I was trying to sleep. But everything finally ceased at about 2pm, I'm guessing on this.

Woke up at almost 430pm and watched tv till until 615pm, before I finally made myself go run. Get a breather, in this trecherous weather...

But as I was jogging to the park where I usually run at, I saw the sunset. And then I had this thought in my mind - it's time to wake up from my fairytale.

A thousand and one things ran through my mind as I struggled to keep running from my lack of stamina. So many times we get judged from what people see, regardless of whether that is the truth. Until sometimes I ask myself, does truth really matter? Perception does seem to be the new reality.

All these while I guess I know where I wanna end up at. Just a tad not that willing to look at my end point since the journey is such a tough one. I just tell myself to keep moving, keep running, I will get there.

But then I recall that Jesus focused on the end, as His journey was an even tougher one. And the difference? I failed (as of now) while He had the victory not just for Himself, but for us all.

Time to wake up. Time to stop imaging what life could have been, no matter how close I seem to have been there some time back in my past. Time to focus on my end point, like my Friend, my Comforter, my Jesus.

I will get there. Just like how very often, sunset gets ignored as compared to the sunrise. But nevertheless the sunset looks just as pretty and magnificent as the sunrise.

I will get there.

trying to recall the little poem i had in my head the other night before i made myself fall asleep.

hmm...

perhaps when the emotions are not so strong anymore, perhaps when u begin to distant urself from it all - it does go away.

and no, my blog is not dead. just not as alive as what u would like it to be, perhaps? =)

3 Museums in 2 days... Night Festival

EG & I went to the Night Festival on Friday night. Quite an interesting event considering the number of events going on, all at the same time. Plus you get to go to all the various museums and neighbouring places all for FREE!!!


So we ventured into wherever we could and I took a few shots as rememberance...


Old Chinese newspapers (strangely it looks a little like the ob...)


Cool puppets! =)

Old records - CDs of the past

They look like coasters to me but I ve no idea what they are... But they are so pretty and colourful that I just had to take a shot of them... =)

Tuperwares of the past!



This exhibit has 99 life-sized wolves all running in circular motion. Then at a certain point, they knock against an invisible force and they all fall into a mess as above... Quite scary if you ask me...

Grand piano! NICE! =)

Old newspapers - cute advert

Sailor's cigarettes and ash tray

The prints used to print the newspapers

Guess who is the guy in the center???

Old cinema advert

World's slowest SMS billboard =)


Drag show! There was a side show below the stage that we witnessed... A sign of progess says someone... Hmm...


Coolie quarters

Coins I used as a kid. Now they are part of a museum exhibit. Sigh... ...
And this marks the end of my museum adventures!

Korean Dinner

After going to ACM, we went to this quaint place near my office for dinner.

Here's all the side dishes (refillable!):

My beef with egg and mixed veg and spicy soup


Seafood pancake - VERY YUMMY!!!

Free Korean rice wine - courtesy of the owner =)

Yes I'm being reminded that my new company's medical checkup is probably coming.... and so i better stop having such good meals... =/

My Mediterranean Lunch at Pahang Street

Out of the blue last night, my co's ex-intern invited me for lunch - as celebration for my new job and before he begins his job search after his graduation (and before his dear gf comes back from US of cos...)

So he brought me to this really nice place with really YUMMY food!!!

Here's our mushroom soup, pitas, garlic bread and spreads. ALL VERY YUMMY!!!
Turkish mixed grill - yummy too!

Iced Mint tea - the best I've had so far! *serious*

French *something* caramel - egg pudding
All in all was really good food and he so graciously gave me a treat cos the last time we went out together with his brother, I gave them a treat. =)
Yes next time, I would wanna go there again!!! *yummy*

I'm going Universal Studios! Fully SPONSORED! =)

perhaps we would all be better off if it didnt happen at all

My blood covenant

The day my knees so gallantly decided to donate blood to the ground.

On top of twisting my left ankle and my right big toe, i scrapped my left big toe... =(

And this is what my knees looked like:

So now I limp, I cannot bend my knees, can hardly climb stairs, cannot cross my leg. =/
I'm too old for this! *sigh*
