Here is a shout-out to all my concerned friends who have been asking after me, with special thanks to Jules, Izzy, Derek and Brennan, for being there when I was at my lowest, for offering words of comfort and so much more. So blessed to know I have such friends .I am back...hahah..after a few days of grieving and thinking and reflection. A little wiser, a little older, a little sadder, but nontheless still up and bouncing, with a positive outlook in life. We can't always have ups and no downs right, that would make life so boring and make us complacent. Its only when bad things happen when you start to appreciate what you have in your life. I won't pretend I wasn't affected by what happened, but for me, life still goes on.

I learnt what wonderful friends I have. I learnt what wonderful parents I have too. I called Dad up at night, and didnt say a single word, but started crying over the phone, and he was so concerned and worried for me that he wanted to come look for me right then. Then on saturday night, he made me a vanilla vodka with tonic water(how cool is he), and just let me pour out my sorrows and listened and offered constructive advice and also his shoulders to cry on. I wouldnt say the same for mum, but she stopped what she was going to scold me about upon seeing my swollen eyes, but I didnt tell her the full story cos she already had her own views and comments and I knew whatever I said wouldn't make any difference. But at least for the next couple of days, she was nicer to me and stopped giving me the cold treatment(that has been going on like forever).Most importantly, I learnt that God's unfailing love which is his promise to us would be my comfort and strength. He has his own perfect timing and plan for everything, all I have to do is trust in Him, that he would make my path straight again.

No loss, no regrets, but always have beautiful memories that can't be erased. No doubt I would still feel pangs of sadness when I think back of the good old days, revisit certain places. But time can't be turned back. And nobody knows what the future would hold. So the only thing to do now is to move on and let things take its own course. I am amazed that I bounced back so fast, from feeling so totally miserable to optimistic again...hahah..what can I say? Live life to the fullest!!!
