As I watched My Sister's Keeper, tears kept flowing out my eyes.
Jodi is so good.
It makes you wonder: "Would I do that if I was the mother?"



Book lovers would say that the ending was horrible because it's totally different. But the film actually had the right idea. Normally, so much of what is wonderful about a story is lost in adaptation. This movie ended off on a right note as well. It wasn’t happy and it wasn’t neat, but that’s life, right?

And there is life after death, even for the people left living.

Ken, Leon, Daniel and I visited the MV Doulos last night for a mini conference talk about missionaries. Initially, I had no idea that it was going to be a sharing session. I actually thought it was the Youth Alive concert and a tour of the ship. But even so, the sharing session was not a regretful decision because I learnt much from it. Unknowingly, God was using the talk to touch our hearts - my heart.
Throughout the whole session, I was entertaining the idea of joining the crew to become a part-time missionary. The various testimonies shared by the numerous crew members and even Ps Aaron were very inspirational and revealed the total awesomeness of God. Through them, God displayed his majesty, his mercy and his love. I felt that that was what I needed in my life. Something the Australian sister shared with us left a deep impression on me. If we think that life is only about studying, getting a good-paying job and earning big money, we've got it all wrong. Life would be so mundane, so empty. What we should be doing with our lives is living it for God, the number 1. Let His will be done.
The session was quite thought-provoking. It made me wonder what I wanted to do with my life, or rather what God wanted me to do with my life. I have yet to find out what God's will is for myself, but I'm hoping that He has something wonderful in store for me And I pray that I'll have the courage to go forth, amen.

When I become the Minister of Education someday, I'll ban the frigging exams.

I wasn't sure if I promised myself not to cry anymore, or if it was that I had no more tears left to cry, but when I heard this song, this part, I had to fight to suppress a wave of emotions that would have drowned me in sadness again. The lyrics are so meaningful, but it would be even more meaningful if both parties felt this way.


Yea, these were the exact questions unreeling through my mind that day. So many what ifs, so much heartache. Because I knew those were rhetorical questions and I already knew the answer. It still isn't going to be now, not today, not anymore.


I hope you do too. It would be painful if you don't. Whenever I reminisce, it transports me back to the moment, and for that moment, I feel like everything's alright again. I don't know how long this will last, I don't want to know how long I want it to, for fear that I might not accept reality again.

Footnote: Now that I'm willing to talk about it and now that the chance for me to talk about it is here, shouldn't be the time for you to bear grudges, especially since you were the one who made the decision.
