Sunday morning, I walked agaisnt the strong wind to the church to attend my lonely Sunday mass. After mass, I crossed the road to have my breakfast at the cafe opposite the church. All by myself. Adults were chatting to each while kid were screaming and running around the small garden at the cafe.
In the church, I was watching the family who sit in front of me. Grandparent, parent, 2 little girls with a little boy. Wishing peace to each other. Suddenly, I recall the two little gal who used to sit in front of us at Fatimah Church, Brickfields. They were so small when I just went to the Sunday Mass but they were all grown up at my last visit to Fatimah's church.
The surrounding merriness brought back the past into my mind.
This place does not belong to me. Someone who is alone with a book shall not stay at this atmosphere.

Autumn breeze is blowing away all the memory. Back to life, back to my one person apartment by breathing the air of this lonely space.

our past environment has changed so much. brickfields is not what it was anymore.

lately i've been so tied up, been abandoning things that matters most to me. and yet, all my effort has backfired in the most unexpected way ever.
why so much sadness? seeing all the joy should only encourage us, no? to return to our home, where our families are, where our heart lies...
Kam,
Look at the bottom of the post, it will show either by cLiu or NiC.
nic,
seeing all the joy only make me recall how lonely I am. Merriness will not your heart joyful.
life is always challenging.it's what we want in our lives is most important.pa learn 2 words from wisely dr david mun-'be happy'.he said if u are a very rich man,u only got 24 hours a day n the same goes to me, a simple man.sit quietly n ask ourselves whether we are happy with what we are looking for in our lives.don't let ourselves swallowed up by the challenges of life.there's always a choice we can make.put aside anxiety n dejection n have our hearts on GOD's love n His presence in every circumstances.don't let the challenges beat us down or shut us up but instead,let them become opportunities to turn our hearts n minds more fully to the Lord who loves us n makes all things work for good for those who love Him (romans 8:28).start to lean into the strenght of the Lord n follow His lead. as we take up the challenge of saying no to our fallen nature n yes to the will of our Lord, he will multiplies the fruits of our efforts.let's joyfully cooperate with GOD everyday n enjoy a beautiful life.'all things are done according to GOD's plan n decision'(ephesians1:11).cl,sometimes we unable to appreciate the gifts place right in our hands,that's our human weakness.always remember that uncle auntie will love you with all our heart n we miss you too dear.'humble yourselves before the Lord,and He will lift you up.'(james 4:10)
two of you are a bit of a classic catch-44. :P you know what you want...but yet both of you are chasing for something that are not there.
