A Class photo together...

Please wait...

Yeah, I know I promised several of you I will post the photos and story of what happened on my birthday this year. But then just give me some time. Need to get the photos from my friend first.

Just some thoughts. A drama I have been catching has got me thinking about life these days. It is about a girl who is diagnosed with a disease of the brain. To spare you all (and myself) from the complicated name, it basically cause her to lose control over her sense of balance and eventually the movement of her limbs. This drama is a true story based on the diary of the girl who wrote till she couldn't hold a pen anymore. She lived life to the fullest till 25 and her only wish was "to live".

To live. It sounds so easy to so many of us. To live is to wake up on time everyday morning to go to work or school. Or well play for kids or housework for housewives. To live is to endure the boring morning and look forward to lunch break. Make eyes at the student opposite you and laugh at the teacher. Then look forward to end of school to go play (jusco for us =) together.

As I sat down on my bed that day on my birthday waiting for my friend, I was set thinking about things that happened all these years. It was my first time truly.

Instead of being excited about what presents I am going to get, I begin to realised how it had been a long 23 years I have gone through. And it just hit me how God has been with me through thick and thin. It doesn't matter at all what happened in the 23 years. What is important is that He has brought me to where I am.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning feeling so sleepy and thinking that the world sucks just because I have to go to school early. Do I have have to wait till the day when I wake up every morning to thank God He has brought me passed another day again?

Now I being to appreciate the lyrics of a song I really like. If I remember correctly, the lyrics goes like this.

Every sunrise speaks of your unfailing love,
Every nightfall, your faithfulness
Every blessing from heaven tells of your amazing grace...

For everyday of my life, I praise God for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Traumatic happening...

Let me update you all on the latest thing that happened to me.

I was an eyewitness to a traffic accident. Till now I still don't know why I was involved in it. Read on and you will know why...

It was my school's Halloween party last friday night and well for some reasons I didn't really want to take part in it. But then my curosity got the better of me and well my friend kept persuading me to go, I thought ok, I will just go and say hello, take some pictures and scram.

So I went about 11pm to the student bar that night. Met my classmates and took tonnes of photos together (which I will post it up soon). Waited for another friend to come and about 12, I was ready to leave.

Both my friend and I left together for home. On the way back, we past by the family restaurant right in front of the apartment where I stay and found a great commotion going on. There were like 10 fire engines, ambulances parked around it and the whole place was fenced off by the police. Saw like 30 over people standing in the carpark with their statements being taken down by the police. It was only the next day that we read in the news that a fight broke out between some Japanese gangsters involving some toxic spray sending 21 people to the hospital.

Anyway, the reason why I stood there for nearly 1.5 hours was because a Japanese uncle started chatting to me. Then he took me to his car which was parked across the road so he could give me his namecard.

2.30am in the morning. I crossed the road back to the path in front of school to his car. Side note: I was pretty nervous cus the uncle invited me to his house. arrggghhh... but thank God right at this moment, my classmate Bill came along with 2 other people back from the party so I had an excuse to say I had to leave with my classmate.

Crossed the first road. Nothing happened. Bill went ahead of me with another girl. I was walking behind with another guy Karl. Then was about to cross the 2nd road. Looked left and right, no cars. Light still red though. And Bill dashed across the road with another girl sitting behind him in the bike.

And just as I was about to follow them, I heard the screeching of car brakes and flashing car lights. The next thing I knew, I heard a loud bang and both Bill and the girl flew off the bike and onto the road.

Super traumatic.. in spite of the shock I got, I had to calm myself down because the girl was in shock. besides she was a little drunk. Then it was a mad rush to the hospital and then police recording down our statements.

Woo... Bill's ok now. He had stitches in his head and he fractured his right thumb. So have to take turns to cook for him everyday now. Because of this too, haven't been sleeping well for some days. Too traumatic to recall the accident too... And till now I still get people asking me why I was there at the point of time when I left the bar at 12+.. I don't know too how it was all such an coincidence..

Now I also ride my bike more carefully. and no more dashing across roads or beating red lights.
