in memory of a friend...
For the past one year my friend, once cell mates, had been fighting the battle of Leukemia. I would say that she had indeed fought well... As she moved on to be with the Lord this morning, it was a feeling of sadness, yet glad. Sad because I felt that I would have been able to spend more time with her, visit her more often when she was in the hospital, etc etc. Yet I'm glad, because I know that she is in a much better place now. No more medication and machines... but just being in the presence of the Lord. Sad because of the regrets of the things not done/could have done, yet glad because of the hope that I can say to her (which I didn't had the chance to say... but hold deep in my heart)... that I'll see her on the other side. This whole incident really got me thinking deep. You can hear alot of things about people dying from cancer, or thousands dying from all around the world... things are definitely different when that person has once crossed your life. I'm really glad she did... and I'm sure God had been able to use her purposefully too. Life... The Lord gives, the Lord takes.... all things belongs to Him alone. As a wise man says... It is really not about how long you live, but how you live your life. If there is just one thing that I can learn from this dear friend, that will be to live life purposefully. No one knows what happens tomorrow, only God knows. Catching up with a friend tomorrow, or even saying something that you had always wanted but haven't to someone... or even that chance to share Christ with someone else... don't think you will have another day because really... no one knows. Live your life the way you should, because there are people who can't... Lord please continue to use me purposefully each day... that I may live our this life that you had given to me. Let me be a blessing to others, just as how Elsie had been a blessing to me when she was here. Let me be willing to be a stepping stone to others, so that they may grow to love You more. In Jesus' name... Amen. ... in memory of my dear friend Elsie...Posted by aeronautisis at 11:47 pm

Happy birthday to me!~
okay my birthday is officially over. The 22nd birthday was great, thanks to my darling sister Merrilyn...I went to work as usual, via the MRT, but got brother Jiawei's company all the way to the bus stop at pioneer station. So sweet of him. (: The morning was greeted with Jiayun's very 'high' birthday wishes on Msn, and a whole list from facebook.
In the afternoon, waited for mer to reach NTU to have lunch together. And she did a nice surprise lunch for me!! Home cooked food of the dishes I love, made with so much sincerity and love. :)
Work carries on, more birthday wishes on FB, and chatting away with my buddy Jieling. and we were saying that she's gonna put on her FB that "Jieling and her buddy needs to get attached", and I will put "Debbs and her buddy needs to get attached". hahahaha. (internal joke :P )
At 5pm, Shaun pops by my office to pass me the FFVII DVD in a really cool metal box, and his Creative Zen that will be "on load till further notice". So nice of him too! :)
6pm... I knock off from work, meet mer, and she brought me to a really nice Japanese Restaurant for dinner. She took the effort to make reservations and stuff too! Well unfortunately we were unable to make it there before 7pm (got 20% off)... oh well. But yup still enjoyed! Ambience is nice, and not noisy too! Oh and I bet they have really nice Sashimi. First, the Sashimi are really expensive. Second, one thin slice of Salmon is all you need to taste it. Really good.
After that, we went off to some quieter place where she gave me the present she got for me, and the little 3D card. Once again it was prepared with much effort... really touched. Thanks dear... for making my birthday so special.
Went home quite early...9.30pm reach home le. Well she was tired already, preparing all the surprises for me for the whole day. *great big tight huggies*
and more birthday wishes on facebook...
Still waiting for 3 more presents... my oakleys partially sponsored by Shaun, Goretex Jacket from my Da Jie, and some other present from Jiawei (which I don't know what).
Oh yes.... and the birthday celebration from my buddy when I get to Jakarta!!! hees
yups that's about all. :) Big big thanks to the Father above for all the blessings that He had blessed me with on this special day, and for all the friends around that brought me lots of joy and comfort.

wth...
wth... for one stupid thing that I didn't do at home, and got scolded for dunno like what. Just because of that, say don't allow me to change church and make those useless friends.Who are you to judge if my friends are useful or not? And, since when relationships are built up so that they will be useful? They are the people who walked through the darkest and toughest time in my life. They are the ones who were always there, and comforted me when I needed, talked to me when I needed. Yes there may be times where it hurts, but I choose to see the good times we shared.
What is the problem with that?
And please... I'm turning 22 soon. This kind of thing also want to tell me what is right and wrong? I think I can decide for myself already.
Just because of one mistake and everything that you just bring in what ever that you are unhappy with.
Whatever lor...
My mood ain't that good in this season to be able to take this kind of stupid things. And big thanks for making it worse...
