Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:2-4

Yan sent me this, how true, and how wise these words are. The difficulties in life only make us stronger, for if we can persevere, then we shall get pass these difficulties as stronger men, for then, would we have known how to deal with such difficulties if the do arise once more.

Yeah, so was in malaysia for the past 3 days, laughter and tears, that's how I would summarise the trip. Laughter for it was a joyous occasion, the marriage of my sister. Tears for the sadness that came about when I saw how old and weak my grandma has become. For 3 years, I've not went back to penang, to visit my relatives. And well, people do change fast, and 3 years have been indeed a long time for things to happen. People grow old, people grow weak, hearts may grow stronger, but at last, it is something that we must learn to let go at times. For no one can be there forever, and eventually everyone has to return to their resting place. It is at times like this that I couldn't forgive myself for not being able to let my grandparents see me grow up. Being jealous of how people could live with their grandparents.

ah well, i'm tired, shall blog more about the emo stuff when I dun feel that tired.

And yeah, it has been long since I had lunch with her, and i'm glad we're still friends, after all that has happened. And I'm happy too, that you've learnt to let go, for there was nothing to hold on to in the first place.

After that, went to meet up with yi yan to pick up my rock band from her house. Cui, got lost, when I was trying to get to parkway parade from ecp. Ended up at bedok reservoir road. hahaha, cui. Then picked her up at parkway parade, parents not home yet, so we decided to go to library. AND~ we found ourselves in changi area. HAHA. cui, someone was so confident when i asked her if she was sure. "I'm sure that its this way" attitude. hahaha. Cui, then yea, so made our way back to jurong east, slowly, haha. Then yeah, borrowed some books, 2 more tolkien books to read! =D and jane eyre by charlotte bronte thanks to yan's recommendations. hahaha. So after that went back to her place to wait for her mom to come back.

and yeah, now i'm back home, reading "Children of hurin" by tolkien! =D super nice. hahah. ok, shall continue reading then..
