TGIF

jason: everyone's been thanking you... haha. and i don't think you are a spiritual orphan. the definition of orphan is one who lost one or both his/her parents who is/are dead physically. so 1: you are not an orphan. coz both mama and papa are around. and 2: neither are you a spiritual orphan, because you have a great spiritual father(samuel), grandfather(yonghowe), great grandfather(Ps RO) .... and the list goes on. on top of that you have great people you can turn to anytime for guidance like Ps Vic who has a genuine relationship with you. jason i think there is no need for you hide those feelings in your heart and focus only on the happy things. we can only overcome and conquer when we face straight up to our fears or worries or unhappiness.

each day we live, do we remember to give thanks and celebrate the friendships that we have? to be honest i once thought about the genuinity about the friendships in the tribe and i do get skeptical sometimes like sometimes friendships are so thin we are almost hi-bye friends. and there is always that sense of uneasiness when you see someone whom you obviously know is in your tribe but you just don't know what to say. but by the sheer genuinity of love and sharing and effort that some of our leaders have shown us, i am convinced that we are more than just a hi-bye tribe. and i really do feel bad each time i have been away for an extended period of time, seemingly as if i havent been putting in my share of effort to make this work, i do feel bad. thinking in my bath that society works in a way that requires human beings to give by the sheer fact that they have been given. for example, we would unconditionally raise our children by the fact that we were raised.. people who have been blessed by scholarships in turn give back to society in terms of setting up scholarships... and i believe that for this system to work, we must all give in simply because someone else has given to bless me. :)

in all simplicity, pls do not hesititate to give an extra smile to that not so familiar face in your tribe. pls do not shut one down simply coz they are different. yin huan and I are sooooooo different, and i used to find him arrogant and so did he. but we just clicked and guess what, i came to know of God thru him. God works in many wonderous ways, you'd never know when that ugly friend of yours is going to change your whole #$%^&life.

just had dinner with the CEO of The Right Angle Group. a simple yet great man. and you know this is really what they call the league of extraordinary gentlemen.. he sorta brought me back to living again. and we always do need people in your life to tell you that you are alive don't you?

let's not stop giving thanks for people around us. people whom God has put right beside you at this very moment for a reason. and celebrate.
