this blog was started for fun, and along the way became a weird and MAJOR collection of cryptic, overdramatically negative rants by a younger and immature me. (that part of me still exists. tho i shut him up most of the time now)
then it became a collection of wannabe blog posts about my hobby which i realized i can never put into words the same interesting way others could, possibly since there isn't many a person around reading who could really understand the materials of my fascination and the obscure references i use that got me overexcited on the subject at hand each time. i lose myself in those posts sometimes. (yes. the rest of the world don't get it.)
after i started work it became a sorta complain station about life in general. complaining is a useless and whiny activity so i similarly cut on those irrelevant posts.
i could go on, but kinda lost the momentum in typing this, as with so many of my other unfinished posts that were deleted as drafts or eaten up by the mean ol problem-encountering IE browser window. (thank you firefox. you shine a light in my life.)
point being, i lost the relevance of publishing online. perhaps i never had any relevance to begin with, and now is as good a time as any to wind this up properly.
i won't be around anymore.
no. it is not facebook's fault.
goodbye. |

recently, i came across a blog by a person whose path i crossed when i was in university. she was my christian group leader, and in many ways, a very sweet girl whom i still like to think of as younger than me.
she's been faithfully journalling her life online for a couple of years now, and as i read through her entries, i was amazed at how her simple style of writing can do so much for me... her hopes for a baby with her husband reminded me of how God puts every detail into our lives, her entries on her emotional breakdowns made me less harsh on myself when i feel depressed, and her simple everyday posts on cooking, shopping, daily work and traveling lightened my heart too.
no i'm not in love with her, nor am i her stalker, but let's just say she made me realise the power of writing, blogging. how it encourages and sometimes, points people to an existence beyond themselves.
and i thought, how nice if i can do that too... |

much has happened in 2009, and i have much to give thanks for. i was asked to draw up a list of thanksgiving items the other week, and as i listed them down one by one, i felt a little overwhelmed by how blessed i am. here's a snapshot of my thanksgiving, in no order of importance:
- being alive
- summiting and surviving everest
- God drawing me close
- guoyong
- still having a job after everest
- the love of my family, my parents, their food
- sunsets
- being reminded that peace can only be found in God
- our new place
- sisters
- marriage
- friends
- more time on my hands, without having to train 6 times a week anymore
- mountain biking
- coming back to a cg after many years
- being able to share the everest experience with others
- getting baptised finally
- God's presence and His word, which comforted me in distress
- all the little bits of marriage and wedding stuff that pieced together
- my room
- my teammates
- kim boon
- my sherpa, jamling, who saved my life |
