Life...

hey..life has not been ever smooth saliling here, working and living with different kinds of people, withnessing and personally experienced rejection as well as misunderstanding. When i was young, people always tell me the society is a different place altogether, playing a different type of ball game. Now as i starting to grow up and taking my first step into it i truly felt the difference and how irritating it can be sometimes. Since young i had been a lone ranger, doing things i wanted to do,not having a lot of good friends and don't like to socialise with strangers. But now i have to face a course of 'friends' everyday. Whether u like it or not, they r the closest ones u have ard here. So, no more mr lone ranger, and i start to step out of my comfort zone and try to mingle with them. Of course, not all my experince with them are pleasant but i do enjoy mingling with them and cracking jokes and stuff. But somehow deep within me i felt tt this is not enuh, so far the friendship tt i felt was very superficial, very fragile. One day it can be very good but the next day it can be very sad and filled with sorrow. I must admit i am not very good in expressing myself and making friends, but i never stop trying ! Just a few days ago a speaker in church was sharing abt her cry to us, and i can really identified with the things tt she deeply long for. She was longing for 3 things to happen in this society. Firstly, tt people will not be quick to judge, just because that guy acts arrogantly does not mean he is an evil and nasty guy. talk to him, get to know him and u might know smtg different abt tt person. Secondly, tt people will be ever willing to be generous. Always treat ppl with a generous heart, do not always look at the bad points of a person, try overlook their bad habits and love them. Thirdly, people will be sincere and transparent with each other. If i did something wrong i expect u to correct me and not to talk bad behind my back. If all these 3 things can be practised in this society, i believe the society will be a more enjoyable place to be in, and it is my dream tt this world will become like tt.

Hey friend..I understand how hard it can be sometimes to be with a group of people whom u have no choice but to be with and try to befriend them and I have experienced the feel good one day and feel sad another day feeling before too..with my dragonboat peeps that is..But i realise that no matter how superficial u think those relationships might be, we just have to keep in mind that God has a greater destiny for us than all this, as you pastor says..we have to learn to show love to them no matter what..and on those days that u feel sad..just sing a song..and rememeber that JESUS is your BEST friend ever!
