Urgh

I feel like an old man

"Filled with regret
Waiting to die alone.." - Inception

Choi! Not yet.
But yes me body aches
My nose sneezes non stop
I live in denial
But there's no denying it
I'm sick

One lesson I learned
Never exercise when you
Don't have enough sleep
And lesson number 2
Always have enough sleep
Or you'll become an old man

Busy December

Phew it's been a while ain't it not? Couldn't find the time/inspiration to blog though, as December was a superbly hectic month for me. What's with preparing for Christmas, youth camps, FYP and now making the video for Doreen for her preaching next month. Phew.

Won't go into detail about everything, which means I'll just give a brief summary:

(1) Campus Connect Christmas Celebration: It was good, with me preparing the sketch and Kai Jun preparing the mime. I didn't totally do my part though; I had MJ, Irena and Alex to thank, a lot - Irena and Alex for coming up with the script, and MJ with helping out in the acting. And ohh, PeiLee too. For the idea.

(2) Youth Camp 2010: I praise God for this camp, because it touched me in some ways. God has also shown me that He can work in "funny" ways, and through the camp I was spoken to. I also had the chance to be totally in charge of the equipments and stuff, and the entire camp went well.

(3) FYP: Not too shabby. I finally know what to do for Chapter 1 and 2, though yes I should be in Chapter 3 or 4 by now. =D Working on it still.

(4) Video making: Ahh. This is the hard one. I've made a video once, but I failed miserably. As in, miserably. Blek. But I'm going to do it again though, this time with the help of Joel. =D

Plus the fact that I'm sick now, and my sneezing rate increased a lot of late. This is certainly not an ideal way of ending 2010.

But well, I did have a rare family trip with my family. For once we were all free =D

I guess I'll cya 2011. =)

Smiling Quote

I recently came up with this while I was chatting with a good friend of mine. Here goes:

"Memories that can make you smile is worth a space in your brain."

Ain't it?

Appreciation

He saw his dad lying on the chair. His dad's hair was a bit messy, which made it look even worse. His face looked superbly tired.

Man he looks dead.

"Snap out of it!" he thought to himself. "He's only sick." Just sick. Cough, sore throat. The usual.

But it looked so real.

For that 5 seconds (ok I made that up), and for once in his life, he had that fear in his heart. The kind of fear that purged right in to the bottom of his heart. The kind of fear that makes one re-thinks about life. The kind of fear that makes one think, about life and death.

His father was sick since Tuesday. Finishing an entire strip of anti-biotics and a whole bottle of cough mixture didn't help one bit. It only probably stopped it from getting worse. He took his father to the doctor, and the doctor gave him new medication.

What struck him was this: his father is only sick, but already looks so bad. What more if he had something worse? What will happen when next time, his father requires operation?

It reminded him of this cliche often repeated: "Life is short." It's what people add AFTER it that doesn't make it sound nice sometimes. However, there are those who add this: "Life is short. Appreciate your love ones."

It also reminded him of the word "responsibility". When his father "goes", he'll be in charge of taking of the family, even though he has an older sister. What's he going to do then? He's not prepared. Or at least he feels he isn't. Yet.

Whatever it is, he will have to look forward. The only problem will be the manner in which he looks forward with, though there isn't any doubt who to look forward with. ;)
