I ran into a stranger as he passed by, "Oh excuse me please" was my reply.
He said, "Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you."
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.

"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said, "While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the family you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."

By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;

"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree. I picked 'em because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."
I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way." He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you anyway."
I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."


FAMILY

Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think?


So what is behind the story?

Do you know what the word FAMILY means?

FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU



hmmm....its an email i found rather meaningful. so here i am sharing with u guys. cherish ur family!

found myself the need to blog this entry down, or i'll really be missing out on one of the louiest night i had. lol

i went to watch POC last night, got ripped by the ticket, and the seating arrangement, got my mood all bad from my once enthusiatic anticipation of the movie. but its okie, things like that are normal. let mi share what sort of joke i was put thru last night.

as i was watching a late show, i had to take the last bus home. and so i did, and when i got home, i realised my keys wasnt with mi, my phone was flat. and i rang my door bell over 10 plus times. pls readers, i bluff you not. i then made my way with a broken slippers in formal top to the admiralty jus to make a call back home to mum and bro and dad. and no one picked up. i was alr feeling all lousy then. i was like stuck outside so late at night. it was bout 230 when i reach home after my slippers went out on me like 8976408725763405978345 times. and when i reached home, i rang the bell a few more times, only to realised i managed to awake my little brother from the ringings to let him come to my safety. all this misadventure for an hour plus before i could get home. damn. haha...but i'm glad i still managed to get home.

tts it. POC was great btw. had been busy with training and work till i get too caught up in my schedule. i'm sorry for all the recents mistakes. i'll noe how to change.

i woke up with a faulty phone, i couldnt activate the alarm clock, but i got better substitutes. 3 people spamming calls early in the morning, i couldnt have been more glad =/ but what was worse is tt wheni reach sch, my phone went haywired alr. i couldnt even on it for long. and its still giving tantrums even now.
went for the speech day today, maybe my only regret was why i didnt go later. went at 9 plus only to relive our morning assemblies days. really boring, but afterall we were only supposed to be the audience, but i could see the efforts pumped in by the ppl la. met upw ith lotsa long lost face again. and something happened in sch, met some teachers, really didnt noe how to respond to them. lol. but i'm happy for ms yong la. lol.

i dunno what name i should entitle this entry, so hack la. here it is, raw.
went for poly 50 trainin today, had 4 sprints, 10 plus pull ups, and a 5 click run, plus lotsa leg cramps. haha! lucky i tried a lot of protein packed food today, so i recovered from wobbly-ness and headaches in the morning before going to work.

was so happy to come sch, and indulge in the love of the smiles of all the very familiar faces~
so happy to be able to get together like tt. haha! saw xt before i even reach club, so nice to hd a mini chat with her! coz i didnt see her for a really long time le. as in, we did in past trainings, but she was inconvenient to speak to me then. lol! i'll "pang" signal next time le jie! wahahaha! then i got to see shakuya, slim down a whole lot, guess he'll look damn fit after july 11. and i saw my bamboo mei! got become a bit more fit le, looking good! keke. v nice to see you again, coz i lagi long nv see her le. lol! jus so happy to see the guys and girls there back in school la. =) this speaks volume of how i dread work. work has really been really boring, so i'm thankful again tt i have friends there to kill my hours tt lasts like years there. sigh. its really boring, and working there makes mi have some reality checks. i realised i'm not matured enough to adapt into this kinda life, thus my enthusiatic paticipation for poly 50. the reason why i'm stay there is because i need the money. i have my wishlist to cut down on, and i dun wanna live off my parents soo much. but as i was on my way to work, some quiet thoughts made mi came down to this conclusion tt working is jus the cost of living in this work. its a joy to live, no matter happy or not, thus the price we have to pay is to work.

anyway, i've an eye candy tt takes the same train, same cabin same time every wed and thurs. yea i noe, it'll be a long day as usual tml. but she is cute la. and she is my junior, she is still studying at sp. hahaha! a long distant junior i presume. but then, an eye candy is jus something i need to keep mi motivated to go work, because wee kiat is ending tml, wei chang in a few weeks time, then it'll be mi and mi alone in the train, with all the kia su strangers. really cant stand it when ppl get too close to mi, like they know me! it really irks mi when i stand there. so i really dread the day when my two companions to work quit. i'll be so alone. lol!

graduation day is coming soon, next sat! so pls make urself available k?? esp sue!!!!!
my current motivation. haha! not for the grad, the get together.

this sat is my sch speech day, and as you might noe, i'm looking forward to it! not coz of the event, but the get together as well. =D gonna get to meet so many long lost face. like a present before i enter army.

speaking of army, i hope i really get good bunk mates, and i sincerely hope tt my partner wouldnt be some one with the wrong amount of hormones. if you get what i mean. lolz!

another day to the weekends. my motivation runs lower by the second. would you pls pick mi up?

haha, jus a joking. but i'm more than happy if anyone could make it come true.

some quiet moments had led mi to suddenly jolts of inspiration, or motivation, to revamp several parts of my life. pray for mi.

jus finished watching the hospital, got kinda turn off coz i knew the ending too much to be touched to tears. was saving my tears for the last few episode, but i didnt cry! but anyway, the show really showed us wad the real fallen world has come about. people often pursue wad they think is impt, that they forgotten wad were their fundamental reasons to be truly happy. all in all, a great show.

gonna go tuck in my bed soon, got a few people whom i wanna pray for. hopefully they will cope with their current adversities. =)

came back from malaysia, felt the post laziness symptoms of the retreat, thus, here i am, on this monday night, blogging bout how my "leave" went. haha!

the resort we went to for the retreat was sofitel, and man it was luxurious. at least for me. its really easy to satisfy a kampong kid like me. hehe. so yeap. it was fun, and i swam the most since a very very long time. not alot, but i was really happy with myself, coz i dun noe how to swim for a start. had our share of devotion, short and sweet, reminded us of our minstry.
and from the trip, i told myself i need a bathtub for my futur home. soaking in the bath tub can be such a pleasure lor! i almost slept when i laid for 5 mins. haha

came back, caught up with the hospital, saw some hard facts of life. and i realised its sometimes inevitable that we have to learn to accept the darkest side of our memories, and live with it. no wonder ppl often tell mi that the hardest person you could forgive is urself. okie. random again, i'll change i'll change, i'm sorry. it because the show depicts many losses of life, of patients whom were under v talented doctors, therefore letting nature setting flat before them bout wad life is about. there are just some things we cant change.

after tt, i went all the way to potong pasir only to realise tt i cant rent my rbe because i dun have any form of identification with mi. haha! wasted trip, i tot it was, but got to meet my friend to catch spiderman 3. nice effects, nice action. storyline was typical, but it was nice la. just those standard storyline of marvel superheroes, thou you noe wad would happen, but it jus have some knacks to make you stay at ur seat.

i took a long trip home. i mean, i walked the normal route home, but i really took my time to stroll home. no particular reason, jus tot that, i've been moving on with life, with a pace too fast. when everyone is jus busy chasing after their future, grabbing hold to every or anything they can grab busy ahead they go. nothing really bad happened, its jus tt, i cant really catch my breathe enough. but the long long stroll really "energized" me or some sort, made mi had time to really look back on my life, got time to chat with God, had some mini flashbacks of my past, my friends. but anyway, i'll have more of these strolls again.

hmmm....i guess theres nothing else to blog.

oh yea, did i mention that linda liao is cute? well she is haaha

till then, i'll see everyone of u soon. =) misses everyone so much!
