Thank you to my bestest friends of all for friday night.. had a really great time... and the pictures are up!;p

Went clubbing on friday night... been so long since I clubbed.. Gwen I hope u're fine after all those shots you took. ha..
went to Jo's church yesterday.. then dinner.. then played basketball... and I threw up my prawn... and tomyam.. haha ok guess you guys didnt need to know that....

I was given a book recently, by the author of 'Tuesdays with Morrie' by Mitch Albom. The new book is called '5 people you meet in Heaven' my report: not as capturing as the first, but still has many thought provoking life philospohy.

" People think of heaven as a paradise garden, a place where they can float on clouds and laze in rivers and mountains. But scenary without solace is meaningless."

First lesson:
" There are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate the breeze from the wind. Fairness does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young. People die instead of me...when an airplane crashes but arent on it.. When your colleague falls ill and you do not...one withers.. another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole..."


There are 5 lessons in all.. the rest will be continued. ..
first lesson.. I guess I never looked at how our lives intersect.. even a simple thing emerging from a situation where you get a university place but someone else doesnt.. or u get a job and someone doesnt get that job.. But ah well.. that's life right? I guess the best we can do is to appreciate what we have.. and remember that however bleak your situation may seem, someone else has it worse.

I love you.
