losing a loved one

just heard a dedication over the radio...

this guy was making a dedication to his good friend ... turned up the volume and I realised that it was to his buddy who died in an accident this morning.. tragic.. and how awfully tearful to hear such a piece of news..

even though we are strangers, I somehow placed myself in this situation and seemed to feel like I might just know how it'd feel..
sigh.. life is short and sometimes .. boom you just lose a loved one just like that..
went to a Gary Kinder seminar yesterday.. he kept repeating.. life is short life is precious make the most of it. (in my words)

So even though we are in this rapid pace of life, so many things to do , so many dreams to accomplish, so many things to buy, so many places to travel to.. I guess we should sometimes stop to appreciate the people around us.. realise how much they mean to us.. and for once show them some appreciation to them for who they are to us.

Love is simple when spoken but immense when felt..

purpose driven life

there i was going through some very interesting insights about how different perspectives of life can be so much more enriching to society's exhausted soul..

we are what we eat and i suppose we derive certain ideals about life from the society we sponge in. It's always good to sit out of the circle for a while to think about what we really want in life. A purpose that isn't materialistic like the world's needs but one that goes far beyond ...

and just when I was at the tip of my anger on saturday.. I learnt that the people who are driven by resentment and anger are the ones rehearsing their hurts over and over again.. "resentment always hurts you more than the person you resent" now.. isn't that so darn true..

next I read about fear.. that it simply is a self imposed prison that keeps us from becoming what God intends for us to be.. to overcome that would be with weapons of faith and love..

sometimes it's so difficult to follow simple rules like that but when we do we discover so much more and free ourselves like we never knew we would..

something to think about..

now.. some rest for my soul..
=)

break time

Just finished round 4 of exams last sat and another round this sat. I'm certainly burned out.. longing for the sun, sand and sea.. sports and a good meditation under some clear blue sky..
So what's happened so far.. March has been a month of speculation in the markets and returns have been rather rewarding.. Else, the juggling betwn wk and play has driven me to my fullest efficiency BUT leisure is dying to kick in!!!
Just spoke to Low at Villa Bali earlier.. abt holiday destinations and I can't forget the experiences of good ole Ko Samui! Best beach holiday by far.. and an eye opener to the infamous rage of the FULL MOON PARTY! then I was fearless and thirsty for adventure.. the me now seems a little too aged for the excitement and just wanna chill..
Next one's comin up really really really soon!!!!!!!!!

As for life with my little swiftie.. my transporter, my shelter on a rainy day and my comforter when I just need a little wink.. I've grown attached to my little white thing. Convenience when I pop over to ECP to study and storage for my tent when I feel like pitching it up. Life as a single.. is enjoyable .. free to do all you want when you want it.. ha!

Alrights.. tmr's another day of studying with bird
and the next 2 days of studying better prove to be useful..

will hop in again soon..
