A little dusting off cobwebs in this blog. First off, congratulations to the couple in class...God bless!
Well, I came to the realisation that blogging wasn't an outlet for emotions, anymore - hence the frequency of updating. In all my life, the greatest moments are memories that cannot simply be...written down in words. Life altering events, outings; just the bonding of friendship, is shared between friends, between loved ones. These sweet moments live on within us.
(Just so you know I'm alive and kicking.)
And wow! I'm gonna survive one week without dear soon. It is probably the longest week of my life. Serious. Sunday began fine, being refreshed by church and God. But as monday came and the week bore on...loneliness it seems...was ever encroaching. Well I'm glad to have talked to you today, before my mind goes too wild. HAHA.
A little update which I ought to have done weeks ago. I passed my driving! On the 10th Jun. Yeah. I mean, after 2 tries, I finally passed. God's grace of course...long story short...the thought of the prospects of failing was very real...gives me the shivers even now. And the photo-license finally came!
Too bad I have to collect it tomorrow. Stupid postman chose to deliver at odd timings earlier this afternoon.
On a lighter note, special sem has begun last week, and today being the fourth session we already had a 10% weightage quiz. Which was definitely easy, but i learnt my lesson never to underestimate any module, because everyone else do equally fine you become...average. Duh
Well, like mentioned...life's priorities changes, so somehow, excelling in this aspect just don't quite..appeal to me any longer.
Anyway, enough dusting off...I wonder when I will blog next...or what I should blog it on. Maybe, most likely, I'm just plain lazy. Haha!
(Well isn't better if people who read this blog, if any, just communicate with me? If communication were to by any means strengthen a relationship that is.)

The Greatest Gift of God
is love undoubtedly. Love amongst strangers, love amongst countrymen. Love between friends and love between family members. Love, between my other half, who taught me the greatest of all ; God's love for us.
I remember about this female evangelist that my pastor talked about. During world war 2, her husband had been mercilessly executed by a German commander despite her pleas. Not long after the war ended, she did about her evangelistic works proclaiming the forgiveness of sin, of love, and was pretty famous (sad, i can't remember any names.).
So during one evangelistic event, she was preaching and finally made an altar call (one which calls people to the front to accept Christ), she was full of joy, seeing the many who stepped forth. Then suddenly a familiar face that she could never forget. The rage inside of her boiled. Yes. She saw the ragged face of the German commander who cold blooded-ly murdered her husband. Here she was preaching about forgiveness and love, and yet her heart burned with hatred for the man. She cannot forgive, she cannot do it.
In desperation she cried to God for help, to help her love the man, that which she thought impossible to do. There as she determined to step forward, a supernatural love from God came upon her filled her up and with tears she reached forward and shook and hugged the man.
Wonderful, isn't it?
This post was solely for your reading really. But it doesn't matter.
Truly I have been blessed with many things. But to me, the greatest of which is you my dear. You! You have changed my perspective on many things. You taught me how to love. How we ought to live Godly lives. How God placed you in my life so miraculously, so timely. You taught me the importance of fellowship, with men and with God.
Surely if God wants to shape my future, you probably have the biggest hand in it. Not to say everything revolves around you, but I think my future is directed around and for both you, and God. The passion I was had, the things which were not of real value and importance, they slowly lose their strongholds in my life. Instead you, family, friends and God start to fill up those gaps. Our plans for the future, I earnestly look forward to them!
Well, somehow I woke up with fears. Fears that I would lose you. That brought me to realise how important you are to me. That everything would crumple and time would surely stop for me. I know it's silly, knowing that above all else, we have God. But on this earth, I would like to have you for the rest of my 60 70 years or so..despite our inherent flaws..love transcends all. I would like to have the fellowship of my family and my friends. Love sums it all up. Indeed the greatest of all commandments is Love thy God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might...and Love thy neighbours as thyself. Ahaha..silly me..
ahahah....hee.
