21 years of my life has gone past. Celebrating my 21st birthday about a month ago, I could still vividly remember how I was wincing in imaginary pain at the thought of hitting 20 while still 19.
These 21 years seem to be so quick. It seems like in a flash, time has just gone by. The thoughts of entering NS seemed to have transformed from something surreal to something I could almost touch. My parents have aged. My mum is no longer youthful. My dad is no longer as fit or healthy as he used to be. My sister is no longer that hardworking student in school but working now. My brother is married with a wife, soon to be starting his own family.
I am no longer that short and skinny boy I was when I was in lower primary, or that close to obese boy in upper primary. No longer that NCC cadet that could only attain a bronze napfa award in secondary school. Right now, I can’t even say I am a polytechnic student. I have grown from my past to be tall and strong. No more tall and scrawny days.
Its scary how quickly time flies. How quickly distant dreams of the things you want to do in the future become so tangible too soon. I am no longer a boy now, but grown into maturity. It is my time to serve the nation, following in the foot steps of many that have gone before me. Its just 2 years. 2 years sounds long, but really, its a short time.
It really, is very scary how time just goes on and on. How every second just goes by and there really is nothing you can do to catch time and save it up for later use. Once its gone, its gone forever.
Love isn’t a quiet thought in your head. Neither is it a little concern you have in your heart. Love isn’t always convenient. Love isn’t quiet, its loud. Love desires to meet needs at the expense of your own convenience. When you love someone or something, people around you notice because you are always interacting with the things you love.
When you love, you give your attention continuously. True love doesn’t give once-in-a-while attention.
It really isn’t fair that the world always say how much they love someone or something, but never truely understand what it is to love. What is it to be willing to die for something or someone that they love so much.
Our hearts are only limited to such a capacity that we can’t love everyone that we know at a 100/100 even if we really want to. Sad to say thats human limitation. That’s why if you already find human love amazing, you’ll find that God’ love is far beyond comprehension.
It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.
It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, makng the world more human and more fraternal.
– Pope John Paul II (via myquotelibrary) Via But the greatest of these is love“I just feel that she is different, different from other cell group leaders. How she lays down her life for us and how she loves us. Every cell group leader has their good and bad points, but its different how she loves us.” - Yiling
Thank you for loving each and everyone of us in W460, Rhonda.
Whats the point, of showing love and compassion towards others when at the end of the day, you know nothing is going to come out of such people?
Whats the point of showing love and compassion towards others when they are just going to take it for granted?
Whats the point of showing love and compassion towards others when nothing is going to be reciprocated?
Whats the point?
Being kind and caring is not always reciprocated.
Really, what did I do to deserve that middle finger?
Dear Me
I don’t understand how you managed to screw something as simple as that. What has all the past years taught you? I wonder as well.
Yours sincerely

Its amazing how quickly people notice the most redundant things that do not involved them, directly or indirectly at all. And always fail to notice the things that they should be paying attention to.
Working on a tough project is enough of a headache.
Having group members that don’t even turn up for lessons is double the headache.
Having to fill them in on what they missed out is triple the headache when you know they were just lazy to get their ass to school.
Not being able to carry on doing the project because they decided to be irresponsible and skip school is quadriple the headache.
Now I need 4 heads to contain all this headache.
