Simple scene

A simple scene on a TV drama serial.

X is going away. X likes Y. Y likes Z. Z likes W. Y met X to send him off. X, knowing Y's liking for Z, did not profess his affections for Y. He simply hugged her tight for a long while and walked off without turning back.

I cried.

I think Y got X’s message, direct from his heart.

Who says we need to talk a lot to make others understand us?

A hug without words can mean a lot too.

Beauty truly lies in the eyes of the beholder

Most viewers to drama serials is to “fall in love” with either the male or female lead, however, recently I found that I usually prefer characters who do not appear in every episode but if they do, it is only for a short while. Maybe it is because they only appeared for such few scenes and such small moments that I learn to appreciate their “appearances”.

Beauty truly lies in the eyes of the beholder.

It doesn't matter if you only appear once or twice in someone's life. If you have made an impact or a difference to that person's life, you have already contributed to adding more colours to his/her life.

Ex-Clementi Interchange

If you take the mrt and passed by the ex-Clementi bus interchange, you would have noticed that there is some construction going on at that location.

I passed by that place almost every morning whenever I take the train to work. On the surface, it seems as if nothing had changed since day 1, the whole place is still in a mess (perhaps “organized mess” to a construction expert, but to me, a layman, it’s just a “mess”.. haha).
However, I know something must have been done, definitely the base foundation to the new building that is coming up. Just that on the surface, it still seems as if its simply a piece of wasted land.

As I looked at that piece of land, I am reminded of my life. It seems as if some areas aren’t “developing” well or even at all. Yah, I’ve done all I can by human efforts… prayed and still praying (in case you are asking).. the truth to be said, the “wait” can be frustrating at times.

Nonetheless, each morning as I look at that messy patch of land under construction, I am reminded that despite all the mess on the surface now, something good will come out of it soon cos I know my Daddy God will not give up hope in me, so neither should I on myself. He who begins a good work in me, will bring it to completion. All things work for the good of those whom God loves, and He loves me ! Amen.

God promised this year to be a year of New Beginnings, so I'm going to be patient...be patient.

你看见了吗?

小时候,有一次我家来了一个客人。他带了一盒巧克力来。一整个晚上,所有的孩子都盯着那一盒巧克力。结果那个客人走了以后,我妈妈就分给我们小孩子一个人两颗巧克力。我们都很高兴。

我就拿了一个卫生纸把那两颗巧克力包起来,放在抽屉里面。我想等什么时候,比较有开心或有纪念时,再拿出来吃。

一开始,我偶尔还会去把它拿出来看一下。时间一久,我居然忘了。我忘了巧克力还在抽屉里面。等到我再想起来时,忽然去把它打开的时候,巧克力已被蚂蚁吃光光,只剩下卫生纸跟一点点削削。

我阿嬷就笑我说,巧克力是拿来吃的,不是拿来藏的。

++++++++

我们的抽屉里面,一定都藏了很多我们珍惜的东西。只是已经放得太久了,久的连我们自己都忘记了。巧克力如果不吃,会被蚂蚁吃掉了,身边的人如果不珍惜的话,也会消失的。
