The Farewell

Just sent one of my closest friends off to the UK yesterday.

It seems like just last week we were seven & introducing ourselves on our first day of school and just yesterday we were on the same debate table, with all the chaos and laughter.

Makes me think, life does pass by in a blink of an eye, doesn’t it? It’s not something thats in our control.

The question is, what are you doing with it?

Back to Back,
Shaun

Its Been Awhile

It has been, hasn’t it?

Life has been pretty hectic for the past few months or so. Sleep has become more of a luxury instead of a necessity and lazing around during the day has been rendered pretty much obsolete

Honestly, I have no idea how some people do it. Not complaining though, seeing as in how everything is gonna be for the better in the long run.

Though, posts would become pretty dry if I keep on with my rants about the trials instead of the testimonies.

Till then, readers. Hopefully, the next wait would not be as long.

Tested,
Shaun

Melancholy

Ever look so far ahead in life, seeing all the problems and challenges, that you fail to see the blessings placed right before your eyes?

Looks like we all need a wider pair of specs. (or contacts, for all you vain pots :D)

Slowing it down,
Shaun

The Revival

Found out some great news today. News that always seems to be an answer out of this mudhole, but has brought nothing but disappointment in the last few months and years.

One side is telling me to not keep my hopes up and just give it a rest. After all, can I really take another heartbreak?
Still, the other side is telling me that today might just be my day.

I’m gonna give this one more shot.

“If God is for me, who can be against me?” -Romans 8:31

Bring it on, JPA.

Hope In Denial,

The Friendly Gesture

This short post really stems from a vivid array of emotions that are currently occupying my mind’s reasoning & perceived thought.

I don’t know how to identify the feeling that has been gnawing at the back of my head for the longest time.
Disappointed? Hurt? Unappreciated?

Most times, its the people you least expect to do it, that do it. I don’t know, is it me? Am I just being a little paranoid? Unfair even?

Sometimes you can’t help but feel powerless, especially when you are heaped with so many responsibilities, difficult ones. Up to a point where every second seems so precious, and you feel that everything else is a distant cloud of delusion, beyond your reach.

Then there are those certain few who actually turn around and give you that “Friendly Gesture”, and they change your entire perception of things.

Now those, those are definitely keepers.

Golden,
Shaun

Short

Lesson for the week, and for the many months to come:

Love thy neighbour.

Working on it. Not as easy as you think, but possible by God’s grace!

Expansion of Capacity,

The Switch

If you’re reading this, you would have figured out that I’ve officially moved to WordPress.

Well, for now at least. Why? I actually haven’t had the faintest clue. Probably cause it looks cooler.

*Ducks from stones*

The spacing and formatting for my older posts are pretty messed up though. Ahhh…. Let’s see how this works out eh?

Fresh beginnings,
Shaun

The Thought

I’ve been thinking about this for quite a while.
Lately, passings & funerals have been aplenty. Well, not that many, but enough to eclipse the number that I have been through in the past few years.
Sometimes, sitting there listening to all that has been shared about the person, gets me thinking,
What kind of life have you actually lived?
One that is full of incompletion? regret? or fulfillment?
Its all about the legacy that you leave behind.
A friend told me this story about a real-life person:
A newly graduated doctor, who started Med School at the age of 16 and aspires to be a pediatric neurosurgeon, put every dollar he made into a retirement fund.
His goal in life wasn’t to get a big fancy car, or a big fancy house.
He wanted to retire at the age of 30, so that he could spend the rest of his life performing brain surgeries for free.
That’s a legacy.
What kind of legacy are we all leaving behind?
Challenged,
Shaun

The Return

I’m back! Hopefully with more updates this time round.
Till then, I have only one thing to say here:
Kaaaa-chaaaak!
Inside joke, do ignore me this time round, heh.
Vivid,
Shaun

Selah

Its been just too busy & tiring for me.
I’m going to need all His strength to get myself through this period.
Till then, updates shall be put on hold.
Still, I know I will come out victorious.
Leap,
Shaun
