Going out with friends you've known since ages ago really does wonders to your soul.
it turns a frown into a smile,
brightens up your moody week,
and
brings back those memories
you never want to forget.



i love you girls! too bad San couldn't make it=(
Though we seldom meet, that laughter, the way you talk, your clumsiness (LOL!) ...it's like we never left school!!
Though the 2 of you seemed to be bantering medical terms back and forth, exchanging experiences and making me confused, haha, I, surprisingly didn't feel left out at all. So funny. Guess we just haven't met up for so long (1 1/2 years, Wai Ying!) that our differences didn't matter anymore, just as long as we had that few hours together chatting and recollecting memories and trying to guess what happened to the rest of our classmates.

What's better than turning 21?

Turning 21 and Getting Married the same year too!

While all the past times i have been to weddings, it was either and aunty or uncle's, or the child of my parent's friend (which i don't know, usually), these time around, it's the wedding of my own friends! People i actually know and have spoken to. That makes the event even more special to me.

Last Friday i attended the wedding reception of a friend i sadly never really gotten to know well enough. We did talk, little though and usually the casual questions about studies and life in general. I guess having different cliques, that were really opposites, amongst a great sea of peers all these years didn't do us any good. Her actual wedding date was in December last year , so technically she did get married at 21. Yes, she is MY AGE!

Wonderful isn't it to make that all important decision at a considerably young age? I really admire them for their decision

So, to the newly wedded couple, may 2009 be especially special for you both as you embark on a new journey. Congratulations and may God bless you two as you step into a new phase in life together!

I wish i could hug you each time you call me,
each time your sobs drown your voice
and all i can hear is the sorrow background
of pain, and hurt, and questions unanswered.

2 years ago i thought i was watching a Bollywood drama,
as your life unraveled it was just so unbelievably stage like
your drama-filled life, the endless troubles you ran into,
so hilarious and frustrating,
how it always came back to that same point,
yet you never listened when we told you so.

Maybe if you persevered long enough you would see
that glimmer of hope at the end of this long, dark tunnel?
maybe if you would hold on and hang on and never let go
you would see the wonderful plan He mapped out for you long before you existed?

Maybe if you would pray a little harder, trust a little more and doubt a little less
maybe if you would allow yourself to breathe again, and live life again.

There must be more to your life than these,
oh Lord, put the smile back on her face again
and the laughter back in her voice again!


And remember:
WE will always be here for you.
