Is it worth it?

Is it worth the pain, time and effort to get angry with people, their actions and decisions? Well, I have come to think that it is just not worth it. Not that I think I shouldn't be angry but because this life is way too short to take a slight second to be angry.

As I was driving to work along Novena this morning, the sirens of an ambulance sounded far behind on the most left. And being on the most right lane, you must be thinking it didn't affect me at all. Partially right. Indeed I wasn't affected on the roads but I was affected in the mind. Seeing from the side mirror that the driver was trying so hard to make his way through the cars, as all were stationary at the junction. Some of the cars tried to reverse and others committed traffic offence i.e. making left turns on red.

Every single minute and second is extremely precious, it's either life or death for the one seeking aid. This is life, not knowing what the future holds. Even when the closest someone in life has betrayed one's trust and broke one's heart, it is just not of any worth to be angry. Why angry? Take the time to love instead, but then and again, one's only human with emotions.

Easter Vigil & T2's Baptism

A beautiful easter vigil; three hours long but the hours passed by so quickly. Celebrations of great joy for Christ has risen and T2's baptism. Some may question what's with T2. Well, that's becoz I am T1; Therese Number 1 baptised in 21st November 2004 and T2; Therese Number 2 baptised on 15th April 2006. Can't help but to think of B1 and B2, Bananas in Pyjamas!

Both Thereses can instantaneously connect, it may seem scary but we know what are on each other's mind. I was sharing with T2 that just a few days before my baptism, I was feeling a little uncertain but the song, 'You are mine', has reassured me. At the very moment when T2 was going to the altar area, the choir sang 'You are mine'. A great coincidence? No, it's Divine works one will term. May the Thereses learn to grow more beautifully with the Great Lord and love unconditionally as He first loved us, sinners. To our dearest Godma, may the Good Lord bless you always. :)

Time flies

Goodness, time really flies.. A wink and it's a week. I have been feeling great. It has been some time since I last feel this way.


My short 'poem' for the one in my life
Happy I would be,
to see your smile.
Grateful I would be,
to know your love.
Thoughtful I would be,
to share your woe.
Loving I would be,
to hold your heart.


But sometimes, the words just cannot express all my thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

Momentous night

I am really thankful to have C with me when I am feeling so down. We had dinner at Olive Ristorante, Labrador Park. A lovely place where I enjoyed its serenity and the drizzling sound of the rain. Treasuring each moment and conversation with him, just getting to know him better.

We opened up; Expressing how we really felt for each other, sharing the past experiences and fears. I believed it was not easy and simple for us, as we guarded our fragile hearts.

When I am around him, I am just myself, feeling so comfortable and cherishing the comfort he provides as well. Although I do not know what lies ahead in the future, but I do know God has good plans for us. May we always learn to grow in Faith, Hope and Love.

Once again, I am indeed grateful. Thank God for letting him into my life.

Nothing left

Nothing left in this world triggers the sense of worthiness.


After The Chase - Come take your chances

I know you're just worn out
from giving too much of yourself
I've watched you for many years now
you’ve put your heart on a shelf
But oh, you’ve been searching
for a love you can touch
But everyone that you find, just can’t love enough

So come take your chances
with the King of romances
Come risk it all, take a chance on my call, I am here
So give me your heart
and I’ll give you new life
Fall on my grace
It’s my only advice

You’ve poured all kinds of things
into this vacuum in your soul
But nothing ever quite fits
and no one could ever make you whole
And oh, you’ve been searching
for new love to begin
Please look to me, I am here my friend

Don’t you know my child that I love you
That I’ve felt every bruise and tear
That have marked your heart and your soul
And left you lonely here

Broken

Bitter cries,
Foolish mistakes,
Painful regrets,
Wounded soul,
Broken heart.


Holding them all back was a torture, a great one. A good cry would only do so much.


The Whys still lingering in the head when everything has happened. Just too late to change the facts.


One can never accomplish the letting go portion, it just takes too much of everything. Too draining, agonising and depressing. Many have said time can heal. How much can time really heal oneself? Can all the pains, sorrows, regrets be all gone?


One cannot help to think the worst of all that had happened. Until then, the broken one is only left behind.

Colour my world

As time goes on
I realise
Just what you mean
To me
And now
Now that you're near
Promise your love
That I've waited to share
And dreams
Of our moments together
Colour my world with hope of loving you
