Everyday I live, I owe it to God.


Sunday, March 18, 2012


This movie is about the Korean war but what I like most about it is that
it showed the perspective of the civilians rather than from a country's point of view.
It made me tear and laugh all at the same time.
It made you feel like you were an actor yourself,
and it made you think and feel the pain, the sorrow and the beauty of a simple life all at once.

You know what is sad? Koreans, who were once upon a time at united front, came to be divided into two due to the 38th parallel that western countries imposed. If that line didn't exist, this war, maybe who knows, could have been avoided. All of us have something common. Beyond skin colour and features we are all someone's child, we are all a creation of God and we all have feelings as humans do.

Sitting here in Singapore, in my peaceful bed, I'm wondering how people in the Middle East or Africa are doing. When you look at things like being handicapped or ill for life, their life comes as an even more difficult one where you're trying to survive not only enemies but the fear as well. Very often, it is the innocent people who go through the worse. I mean, where are the leaders during the war? they are not put in the frontline nor have to suffer, they barely give commandments.

sigh, my heart aches for some reason.
and yet I know tomorrow this will all just be a memory,
a momental sadness of sorts, which is even sadder.

My prayer goes out to these innocent souls, these lovely people who would be living now if not
for circumstances, and for the people who are still living in fear and suffering somewhere in the world today. How I wish I was a more useful people, How I wish I took the initiative to be a more useful person.

Thank you God sincerely for the life I have today, for this comfortable bed I'm on and this laptop I'm typing in and simply everything that surrounds me.

As I was getting ready to sleep yesterday, I thought about you God, I thought about how lucky I was to have you find me and I find you in return. I know my heart still has a long way to go, somewhere within there are evil thoughts, but I pray that we will hold hands and get through these times Allah. Make me someone better.

After watching this, my weight gain doesn't matter so much. I know God is blessing me with good food and I shall not complain. Rather, I shall appreciate what I am and what I can do about it.

Thank you God, my heart is at peace knowing I've found you.

I ever told some of my friends that I would not regret dying the next minute because I've found you. Somehow, I still cant deny that but it made me wonder, what was my purpose in life now that you are by my side, and I realised, somehow or rather that my 2nd mission in life was probably to be a medicine for my mother. A medicine to not only heal her wounded heart but to make it so bright red and happy that it works exceptionally well. I want to be a better daughter, though I know I have a long long long way to go. I will make her proud in the things that I do. Though my studies are normal, and I unfortunately have to agree that I haven't been giving my best, and the chances of me doing that is still rather slim, I aim to make the best out of uni, and the best out of life at the same time. Love while I learn. It doesnt matter if my cap isnt 5, what matters is I learn from this journey the next 4 years and become someone my family is proud of.

A long post isn't it? Time to say goodbye now.

Most people would want to have boyfriends when they grow older.
It's probably weird but my interest is actually deteriorating.
I don't see a problem with being single, and am pretty contented actually :)

anyway, I completely knocked off from like 6pm to 1am just now and this
hence explains the reason why I'm awake at 3am - doing some schoolwork.
Didn't know my body was that tired.
