Without You

Category: By - Duck -

It's been five years since we last heard your voice, seen your smile and felt your touch. You are deeply and greatly missed by us your beloved. Since your departure life has not been perfectly well for us, waves and storms crashed upon us. Waves after waves strikes upon your household. We grew from strength to strength with the memory of you in our hearts. Patching up the sinking hole as we sail upon this rocky boat. We start to wonder whether if the sea is not that fierce or we have gotten better in manning the boat to adapt to the sea. Nevertheless, the guide that you left behind provided us strength to steer through the storm. The memories of you will always be in our hearts. The way you've touched each one of us may be different but yet we know that your love for each of us are special. The jokes that you shared, the laughter that we shared, will always be embedded in our hearts. Friday the 13th, an auspicious day. You will always remind us, it's the day of the birth of Mr.Freddy from Elm Street. 5 Friday the 13th has since passed, yet we are still reminded of your joke on this auspicious day. Friday the 13th has now gone beyond the birth of a freak, it became the day where you left us behind.

Without you,
Life has never been the same

Your Love

Finally the long awaited day has finally arrived. 6th December 2007. Liberation from countless days of restless sleep, brain tension and burning of midnight oil. Chartered Institute of Marketing examination is finally over. It's a miracle that I managed to pull through 4 papers. I remember my lecturer's expression when he heard that I will be taking 4 papers at one go. Well at that point of time, I've never expected the horror of taking 4 papers at one go, in fact I was rather relaxed and confident. Nevertheless, through God's mercy and grace the exam is finally over and I am still alive!

What I've learned through this CIM examination is not to be stubborn and learn to listen to people's advice. Taking 4 papers is never easy when you have to study part-time and work at the same time. Maybe I am still young and gung-ho with my decisions. Well, advice is finally taken and I'll never repeat it again. I am truly thankful to God for seeing me through this whole ordeal and being so patient with me whenever I slack off or laze around wasting my time. Though as undeserving as I am, He has sustained me with good health and protected me as I journeyed to University of Malaya under a state of blurness at 6am in the morning. What can I say O Lord. There is nothing I can say to express what I feel for You. Thank You Lord.

When you took me in Your embrace
Everything around me starts to fade
And all that I can only see
Is your unfailing Love
My Lord, thank you for Your love
