start of block leave was the blissful part. now this is the sad sad sad part. i've revisited and laid out all my stuff on the floor and done a checklist.. now whats left is compressing all the contents into one little duffel bag and making a trip down to beach road to buy more stuff to burst the bag further. and all this for 3 weeks confinement. where's the justice?? no wait.. where's the logic!? i need to write a poem on inequitability haha. on the other hand.. i'm super confident that i'll survive every bit of what's left. God was really amazing throughout the my three months.. grace beyond my own feeble comprehension.
its 3.11am and i cant sleep. i was cable tv surfing on my bed and i saw this taiwanese show. its one of those reality tv where they pry their noses into every little business that doesnt concern them. this episode was about some couple who was to get married on that day. everything was good and perfect and all.. until the exchanging of the vows. the guy was like 'i do' already.. then when it was her turn.. she starting blabbering all sorts of chinese about his mother her mother.. this and that, and she walked away. i was thinking, "
hmm.. cool drama.." then i realised, huh? its REALITY TV! the bride-to-be actually DID walked off the wedding!! wah.. the groom was pitiful man.. he was staring at the church entrance for who knows how long even though she went off. i bet to my last dollar that he's either going for suicide or a month long drinking session. seriously.. i can almost empathize. Imagine. you are finally ready to share your whole life ahead with your other half. you pratically waited your twenty plus years for this one person and chance. nothing is going to stop you. full bliss full steam ahead. and then.. "NO". haha.. oh man.
i remember uncle kum kwong saying that you can never be too sure until the moment she really says 'i do'. that seems so scarily true.
ah finally. i'm sleepy.

a little prayer
God taught me something today.
i bet everyone's been on a bus or train ride and watched the faces of people on board.. anxious ones, dazed out ones, joyful ones, ultra tired ones... and so on and so forth. haha i do that on a pretty frequent basis (you weirdo). i realised that there are times when i see a particular stranger's face.. i feel a nudge within. i never really bothered about it. however.. there was this lady today whom i saw on the train. she looked darn tired, pale, sickly and kept trying to stay awake to tie those yellow buddhist bracelets. that was when i got the same feeling. but this time.. it wasnt some nudge.. it was like the HUGE punching impact from the chinese high dude! the feeling was way too powerful for me to overlook. then i realised..
divine appointment. yes!
100% CONFIRMED GUARANTEED CHOP STAMP (whatever)....divine appointment! REVELATION! that was exactly what uncle chee boon has always wanted to tell me about!
all these while.. the nudges i've been getting meant that God was trying to tell me to do something for the stranger i'm looking at... which is nothing else but a simple prayer. so yeah.. i prayed for that lady silently. man.. it was uplifting for me. and i'm pretty sure she that would be able to feel it at some point of her life and realise that the Real Big Daddy doesnt really live in those tiny yellow bracelets.
prayers.. be it a little or biggy one.. are all beautiful and uplifting.
and.. and.. and.....ANNNDD....... sigh... writing about the wonders of God makes you forget the other things you wanted to blog about 30 seconds ago.
