birthday boys

hellooooooooooooooooooo everybody!

alright, first and foremost, happy 20th birthday to my two poly brothers. mr ang mingwei and mr lim chunping. coincidentally, their birthday falls on the same day! hahas. without these 2 buddies, my poly life would be so damn boring!

anyway, watched surf up today over at town. the show's quite ok. some humorous parts too. walked around before heading home for dinner. dad's not back yet, so will be waiting for him. might have some plans later tho. =))

i read a friend's blog yesterday. apparently, her close friend committed suicide. she took a knife and stab right thru her heart. my jaw dropped while reading it. i can't help but think about it today.

life is just so fragile. perhaps, there's a limit in everyone's life. how hard can life push us? sometimes, when we're at our wits end, we hoped that we know what to do. or at least there's someone who'll be there to encourage us, to keep us going. sometimes, what we need in life isn't the determination to keep walking. maybe what we need is just a little encouragement from others. that is the extreme of suicidal thoughts. whenever we're hit by something painful emotionally, sometimes we tried to run away, we mutilate ourselves, we drown our sorrows in alcohol, we give up on ourselves not putting a single thought of our future. we just give up on our lives. it's all a matter of choice. of how we look at it. how we handle the stresses that life keeps bombarding us. i always believed that there is never a dead end to lives problems and its mysteries. i always believed that with every challenges, comes with a hidden blessing. we have to lose something in order to gain something else. we have to often sacrifice what is dear to us, in order to take something better. we must give, only then we can receive. cuz we only have 2 hands. we must give up what's on our hands, before we can take something new with that same pair of hands.

i do not know the reason why such extremes would be committed by her friend. but i do think that life is indeed fragile. since we're brought into this world, we must learn to be strong. the strongest survives this perilous world. cuz winners don't quit. quitters never win. like in the show surf up, winners just find a way to win. losers don't.

as strong as we are, life is still precious.

but then again, suicide. is it a choice or it's fate?


til then, see you guys. =))
