Echo

Is it the end if someone you love leaves you behind?

No more cracking jokes between the both of you, no more telling grandmother stories about how the day has been, no more whining, no more crying on each other's shoulders?

DOES IT END HERE?

What causes an echo?
The persistence of sound after the source has stopped.

When you can hear an echo?
When it's quiet and other sounds are absorbed.

This sounds likes a quiz that a kindergarten teacher would ask his/her students.

Every precious moment you shared with him/her will continue to swirl in your pool of memoir forever, continue to speak to you whenever loneliness embraces you, continue to resurface once in a while when you feel a sudden emptiness grasping your soul. And that precious memory is endowed with the gift of eternity, with everlasting life...it will never perish so long as that memory lives in your mind, your soul...

This is the gift of love.

Loves have no recognition, no biasness whatsoever. Love transcends every barrier that every human bulids around them. So long as this love is shared between two souls, this love will live forever as everlasting memory although the body or form which holds it is non-existent.

Be it the love of a couple, love of a teacher to a student or love of a mother to a child.

It does not matter.

It is if he/she continues to live on even he/she is not physically there that matters.

What causes an echo?

The persistence of sound after the source has stopped.

When you can hear an echo?

When it's quiet and other sounds are absorbed.

"Life is so ordinary in many ways but you can find something important in an ordinary minute."

P/S : For One More Day by Mitch Albom is a good,inspiring book. Get your hands on it!!!

Fear No More

I do not fear anymore.

I am at peace with myself and surroundings.

Thank you Pui Fun and Li Yann for being with me through thick and thin.
Thank you Chris for fetching me to church today and loaning me your Bible.
Thank you Mrs Agi for praying for me.
Thank you Lord for giving me a chance.

May the everyday starting from now, be different, renewed and more powerful.

I Believe

This moment has arrived, Finally...I chose to believe.

I am an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life, in an ordinary place.

I asked myself all my life, what is my purpose in life? Why am I alive in this world? What will happen if I die?

These questions clouds my mind whenever I have my mind all to myself. I have been striving to find answers throughout my life and I had always left them unanswered each time these questions crept into my mind, each time wondering, "Will I even find the answers to these questions?" What is wrong with me? Does anyone else wonder the same thing? Can't I just get on with life and not worry bout all these things?

Nonetheless, I still keep asking myself, I believe that someday I will be able to solve the puzzle. And the day came. Because I didn't stop believing.

One night, as usual, my mind was wandering, weaving through the maze of idealism. I asked myself for I think the tri-zillionth time, " Where would I go if I die?" And this time, within a matter of 1/1000000000 seconds, the answer just popped into my mind. Actually, it didn't just pop into my mind. Pop is too inanimate a word. It was rather, a small voice. A small voice that has spoken to my mind, a small voice that cleared all the doubts I had in my mind for years - a small voice that made a HUMONGOUS change in my life. It was a calling, for me, at least.

I began to see things differently. I begin to let go of my past which I had been clinging onto tightly because I was afraid of letting it go, afraid of what will happen if i do not conform anymore... I did not dare to walk out of my comfort zone and did not dare to take this leap of faith. And when I finally chose to put a feet out of the comfy box I am living in, I realize there is a whole new sight, a whole new world yet to be explored.

In time to come, I hope that I will be able to rediscover myself, renew my hope and faith and discover the companion whom I opened my heart to. I hope I will stay by His side through my journey of life, through every step I walk and through every breath I draw.

For I believe, without Him, I will not be here.

Today, 22nd December, is a very significant day. A day that would probably rewrite my life forever. Today is the day I said YES to Pastor Margaret when she asked me the life-turning trivia. And from now on, life will be ordinary no more - it'll be EXTRAORDINARY. And now I know love transcends "ordinary-ness".

Goodness comes when you start believing.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
