Conscious

My eyes were opened as bricks fell one after another. It was a sign the end was coming, and I was not too late to realise it, yet. I wonder if those around me who saw the bricks had their mind gates opened.

Sometimes I thought I was sub-conscious of what's happening around me. At times I wished it wasn't even real, this world I'm living in.

When troubles come our way, we wished we were in a dream. When blessings come flying pass, we wished we had been fast enough to catch and keep them in reality.

To learn to let go, and to learn to love what's gone.

Looking Forward

After practically mourning for 7 days after the incident, life's heading a U-turn to get back to having things done again. It was tough, to look back at it and see what could have been done before it really happened. But no one could predict it happened there and then, so things happen for a reason. Just had to accept that.

Got replacements, tried a hang of it - not too bad, lots to learn. Confusing enough yet not as nerve-wrecking. Glad. Just realised I lost more things to those early 'Santas' than I thought.

A good start, to keep me up and about. Optimism, life's never better without it. And the past lurks back to haunt things down. The dislikes.

Everyone's doing great I suppose. What can I say, people change, time flies - but God never fails.

Lev 26:12 - I will be your God, and you will be my people.

Segulah Yahweh: God's own possession.

How perfect it feels to be loved. :)

16 Jan 2010

This marks the 200th post.

It also talks about the first ever break-in at my house.

My one-year old laptop was taken, alongside the bag with my Aussie parrot, mouse, cooler pad and one-week old NEW ear phones! Sigh.

My only gold pendant given by my beloved grandaunty was taken. Sigh sigh.

My drawer was forced open and my old currency were taken, together with some 1 ringgit coins.

My whole collection of ear rings was taken, goodness knows why. No gold. No silver. I'm left with one pair which was not in the box apparently.

My hard discs were supposed to be taken, but somehow the thieves removed the casing and reluctantly put it back on the table? I suppose they realised they've taken enough documents in the laptop itself rather than destroy my whole life worth of works and memories by taking away my hard discs.

The dvd player was taken.

My dad's laptop alongside his office documents and pendrives and all his stuff in the bag was shouldered away.

The door grill was badly shaped. The door was replaced. Total losses estimated about RM5k.

We'll never know how precious something is until it is gone.

Thank God grandma was out with us for lunch. It was a mid-day break in. I'll never forget today. Ever.

Get-away

Thought of a great holiday get-away before class starts, and this was what I had:

Traffic jam.

Yet, it wasn't that bad considering the experience of being at 41st floor and walking on the KLCC bridge. But the queue for it was....super long. Started waiting since 7.30 am for a 10-min walk at 9.30 am. Not bad though, the view. :)

A visit to the bird park was rather pleasant with love birds, peacocks, parrots that greet you with "Hello" and "Apa khabar" and interesting bird shows. :)

Not to forget, the climb up to Batu Caves with 250+ steps on a hot sunny day with monkeys jumping around and snakes and iguanas being carried as pets.

Besides shopping and lots of walking and food testing in the malls, awesome food are not to be missed! You know them better than I do. :D

Even the attacks of Churches did not dampen our spirit to make full use of the few days of break, except the misfortune of being sick most of the days - yet still striving to not just stay at home to rest. A good experience being challenged of endurance and perseverance.

A great start for a new semester. :)

Age + 1

The time of the year to let go of the past and start the new year with a new hit!

Thank you everyone for making it a great one.

Life's never been better.

Thanks for the wishes, the SMSs, the calls, the laughter, the smiles, the JOY, the SALT water, the screams, the cake, the friendship, the love, the THOUGHTFULNESS, the Christ in you.

I had a HAPPY birthday to kick off a new year. :)

God bless ya all..
