suddenly

been busy the entire weekend...

i should go offline now, but really want to post - as in really want to post, not squeezing my brain juices out to spit out some words here.

this weekend was packed, pretty much packed. 2 birthdays, in fact 3. cutting the long story short though, 2 of my friends are 21. one's dear ming, happy birthday dearest ming (tsk, so old already!). haha.

it'll be my turn soon.

anyway received some sad news from tan. yes you ij folks, hear ye, those who were taught by mrs mag low especially... her husband just passed away from a sailing accident.

and the ironic thing is when you hear of such sad news, i think it makes you pause for a moment and just think, or maybe not even think but i'm very sure we all would wonder (even just a little) how fragile life is. my heart goes out to her, though i've never been taught by her before, but seriously in ij, who would not know who mag low is?! in my opinion a spectacular lit teacher, with love and gusto for the subject, somehow a part of me was always in awe of her passion for lit, and yes love for ij.

grace just asked, would i go for the wake. i don't know. but i'll pray for her, because truly what can we do, how can anyone comfort, or imagine the pain of one who has lost a loved one? no one, no one can fully bring comfort to the one who's grieving. and more importantly the presence of His light to shine forth when everything's just so dark and more than gloomy.

no one can do that, no one but God.
