Transition

Posted: February 17, 2012 in Faith, Life

Sometimes spending time with the people you love most could be the most agonizing event, because it makes it much harder to part. Having the sheer responsibility as a transitioning under-graduate, to prepare for the next six years of life, settling logistics, placements, documents, revives the trepidation I once experienced two years ago. But, it [...]

Look

Posted: January 9, 2012 in Life

I stood, my heart and mind subtly lifting their curtains. I looked around. I did miss something.  Beauty. Captured my heart so close, I didn’t dare to breath, afraid. Will it steal another moment away.  Looked within. There laid a buckled passion, waiting for its pair of wings to fly.  And when it comes, everything [...]

No Conditions

Posted: January 6, 2012 in Life

Here I am, in my bedroom, listening to Boyce Avenue acoustics, recollecting my past week. And my past year. The reality is people make a conclusion of you based on what you do, what you’ve done, and perhaps when they find out about your wrongdoings in the past, they conclude you to be a loser. [...]

Because We Want To

Grey’s Anatomy inspires me more to be a doctor. As we go on living this life, we sometimes become so buried into the works and actions and things this life demands of us, we forget why are we doing it. We have friends who have better lives than us. Or who we know WILL have [...]

He was kidnapped by a group of Pakistanis, and beheaded after 10 days. In fact, the kidnappers sent a video of [...]

I just came back from a 3 day mission trip to Gua Musang, Kelantan. I sound like a jakun, but it was my first ever mission trip :) A lot of stories to tell, so much I had learnt just through 3 days, from the team, the people, Ps Kumar and family (our hosts), the [...]

Ambitions

Posted: November 11, 2011 in Faith, Life

We have dreams. A dream to be a rockstar, to travel the world, to be among the best, to meet the greatest people, to do the impossibles, be the impossibles, be a hero. All to be… somebody. Though our dominant personalities do fit us into a certain fragment of the society, some do prefer to [...]

Grow Up

Posted: October 14, 2011 in Life

If you never fall, you’ll never know how to pick yourself up. The past two years have been.. different. Unexpectations were a routine, a journey of walking on thin ice. Seasons in life are saturated by rich joy and love, purposeful, full of meaning, abundant, complete, almost perfect. But there are junctures that fracture and [...]
