Alpha

Alpha - the first letter in the Greek alphabet.

Today's my cousin's birthday. He's currently mugging for his paper and feeling grumpy. I pray he'd bear his cross patiently.

Well it's easy for me to say I guess. It's not my birthday today; it's the birthday of my new blog.

Let's pause a moment to remember the unfortunate passing of my previous blog.

Happy Alpha Birthday https://raphmichael.blogspot.sg/

"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens." - Carl Jung

A psyhaitrist's wise words. It seems like I've spent such a long time dreaming. Dreaming visions and dreaming dreams. I feel so awake now. Alive, excited and scared. All will be fine.

"I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with success uncommon in unexpected hours."
- Henry David Thoreau

Words from an anarchist, American writer, abolitionist and naturalist. Hmmmmm. Well I'm sure he's been through a lot more (tough times) than me. I quite believe in the truth of the above statement; I've read something similar somewhere before.

I really hope this's going to be true at the end of my day. Well I'm not looking for success. Just a seeker (like in Harry Potter haha) and a searcher in this life. Here I am on a Sat afternoon, skipping prayer meet just to build my dreams. Is it all going to be worth it???

Week 1 of School Holidays Tuesday

Hello.

Friendship - the relationship between friends. It is so vulnerable. Takes a long time to build. Takes a really short time to break. It is constantly changing between 2 people. It is seldom stagnant.

Relationships between 2 people is always on the move. People drift. People come and people go. Oh how sad that is. At the same time, there is only 1 relationship that is constant. It is never-ending. He is always calling. He is always pursuing.

I must re-discover my love for relationships.

Week 1 Holidays Friday

Welcome back. Throw off your old self and be renewed in the Spirit.

I find a change within me. It seems like the energetic, enthusiastic, expressive me is back. Oh I so miss her!

I'm glad she's back.

Happier.

At the same time I feel burdened by the financial woes. Just like when I was in Architecture and felt so burdened by the financial woes like the expensive materials, the school fees etc. I must learn from my past. I must not let this pull me down. List my options and list the best and worst case scenario. Pray. Listen. It may not seem so bad.

HOMECOMING for the one who has been sleeping for the past 1 year or so. Welcome home.

I've signed up for 1 year couch potato membership

My whole family has caught this bug. Serious. Ask the painting of the mask on the TV console. One year from now you would see me fat. My thighs would be as thick as those angsana trees you see on the roadside.
HAhA.
