Another 629 days to go...

I have set this target two years back and time really does not care about whether you are doing it, focus or just do not care about it, it continues to tickle away...

So what is the status of my progress ? To say there is no progress is bluffing but to affirm that I am on the right phase is also not convincing. Whatever it is, by penning this into my blog today suffices to remind myself of the commitment that I have made 2 years back.

I will review my strategies and my focus point to ensure I will have the right momentum and progress that I aim when the days is down to zero !

A lot of patience is needed, a lot of sacrifices is needed and a lot of initiatives must be provided...not a lot, it is crazy lot...

I must cast out temptations, I must rub off distractions either things or even people or negative friends....but most of my other self...

The greatest challenger to my success is "myself". Therefore, I need to sacrifice myself to achieve my self victory. One for sure, I must keep peace with my soul, live the life of prayer as without the blessing of the Lord, what I attain is of devil's influence.

Just DO IT

The past one week has been very tiring for me emotionally coupled with the passing my only "ah chek". Today is his 7th day (according to Chinese custom) although English calculation is on tomorrow. Life is beautiful and God has given us everyday 24 hours the same to everyone, not a second more or less...it is how we are going to spend this 24 hours. My uncle has spent his life meaningful, humble and always helpful to one who is in need. He is not rich of property but he is rich in spirit. A teacher by profession and also a basketball coach.

Every year, I would be able to share my new year joy with him ("poon ni" in Hokkien) but now no longer...I remember his wide smile, the happiness in him when I delivered my goodies and he will immediately return in exchange. Although some may say it is waste of time as "sang lai sang ghima si siang" (giving to each other, the net effect of item is the same), but the real meaning of giving is not in the item itself, it is in the spirit of togetherness, the love and kindred relatipnship that we shared and valued.

Appreciate what we have...we will never know when it will last...

Eternal rest grant upon my uncle Andrew, O Lord. May Perpetual Light shines upon him. May he rest in peace...
