Blessed 24th birthday…

Once again, it is the time of the year where all my wonderful friends start sending me all those sweet and encouraging messages. Haha… Once again, I had to reflect on my 23rd year of existence! I really have come a long way but man, this is like only one third of my life! 🙂 Certainly looking forward to be a 24 years old guy! Another new year of new things and new adventures!

Really had a wonderful time last evening. I met up with the SOT 2005’s friends. They are a sweet bunch of people and I am certainly blessed to know them even though I am not in SOT 2005. 🙂 We had dinner together, chat, shared and stuff. The last time I sat down and had a meal with them was about a month ago. I really do enjoy each and every one of the friendship with them, the bonds I have formed with them! 🙂

They were so sweet. Each one of them, including those who could not make it, wrote something sweet on a beautifully cut black piece of card. All these well designed cards were then slotted into another beautifully designed card holder. It liken to those one verse a day gift. Haha! Oh, they got me a stylish tee and I will certainly be parading myself in it soon! 🙂 The funny thing was that they included the price tag with the tee. The tag on the tee and the receipt from the purchase. Everything was in it! I guess they really love me! They want me to know that the gift was not free and it did cost them something! Haha.. what a way to look at things right? Haha!

Thank you people! Thank you for your encouragements, your kind words your prayers and most importantly, the seeds that you are willing to sow into my life! I guess every year is special in its own way. The way I celebrated my birthday last year was definitely different to how it was celebrated this year! Nonetheless, I enjoyed every single bit of it! Though it is my birthday today, I am still in my office, replying emails. However, all is not lost! I have applied for leave on monday… to give myself a well-deserved rest and to do some catching up with a bro of mine from church, Mr jeremiah! 🙂 Have a great day, people!

Heart eXposed…

It has been quite a while since I last poured my heart out! I have been posting quotes and stuff but have kinda stop reveal what’s in my heart. To be honest, I am not sure what are in my heart right now. Haha… So let me try finding out what’s in it as I run along this track of blogging. I seriously do not know where I am running to in this post, so do stick with me! 🙂

I know that some of my closest friends are reading this; friends who love and want to see me do well in life. I hope that this post will not disappoint them, instead, I hope that they will understand me better and embrace me in a new light! A long of things have happened in the past couple of months. I have ventured down a path I never thought I would go. A couple of months back, I had a purpose… to love God wholeheartedly. Now, the purpose is still the same! What is different is that a few months back, I was like a man trapped in a ring. Now, the sky is the only limit. Please! I am not arguing about which is right or which is the best way. Rather, I am just airing my views and, at least, these views are right for in this moment of time.

A few months back, people told me what to do and how to do it. There were a basic requirements or actions to everything, or at least, that was what I thought. In everything that I do, I did not do it for myself. Instead, I did it because I was told. I had to do this; I had to go for this… and it goes on and on. At first, things were good! I thought I was changing for the better! From one side, it seemed like I was making good progress. Everything became more colourful! However, as I was colouring one part of my life, I did not notice that the colour I was using to fill up in this part of my life, was taken from the other part of my life! The other part rotted… and ultimately, things happened and both side of this life crumbled and fell apart! Haha… This is how disillusion works too! It makes you think that stuff are good and well on this side of the pasture but you forgot that you own the other pasture too, the one you were leaving to get to this greener pasture!

I guess I am bitter at how things turned out! However, at this moment, I am not really bitter and unhappy. Rather, I am glad and I am cherishing every moment of being able to think about what I really want to do next.

I do seriously think that I have too many voices in my head. When I wanted to do something, I had to consider this and that… how people will view me; how will this turn, etc… Haha… This is so confusing and irritating! For now, I will have to go with my gut feeling! I love what Bro Sy Roger shared. About how God gives us this boundaries and if we wander too far, He will direct us back and stuff. I am just holding on to that for now! At least for now. I guess the reason why I was put in the ring is that people do not want me to wander too far and fall deep into a bad pit. Appreciate that but I guess, sometimes, I will rather fall into one and climb out of it and learn something! I guess that’s so much for now!

Tomorrow is a BIG day! My birthday! I am certainly looking forward to a beautiful year ahead! I am hopeful and certainly am feeling great right now! 🙂 Smile!
