I am sick of books about community, so I’m hesitant to write about it in this space. I’ve learned that community rarely feels like that mountaintop experience in college, in the dorms, at midnight, when you and your buddies are confessing your sins, talking about girls, and perhaps talking about God and solving the church’s problem over cold pizza. That situation is tailor-made for community...
I'm in NTU
Just realized that the past 3 weeks, I have been spending more time in the main parts of NTU than in wkwsci.
And I only just thought of how differently all of us see uni life. When wkw was still not a construction site, and my friends were all still around, school life looked and was so much different from now.
I really miss all my school friends. But it is a chance to know new people, and know...
C C C, I know you will read this.
It’s very hard. I’m sorry.
I better stop this, I want to be happy, of course I do. But I want you to be happy more and I don’t want to become sad baggage you have to drag all around.
I’m fine, I’m good, I’m a grown boy and I will deal with it like a grown-up should.
And I really appreciate what you are doing for me, I really do!
Be happy ok? I’ll find...

Insomnia
This is the second time recently that I am sitting in front of my laptop, after failed attempts to go to sleep.
Tonight, I’ve been chasing thoughts in my head. Chasing them down and trying to shut them out. But with each thought that I deny, my heart is filled with another bit of emptiness, and frankly, it is quite hard to get to sleep when your heart is so full of emptiness.
I am not...

Better Is One Day
Bad Friday. And reading my other blog, this isn’t the only bad Friday I’ve had this year.
Just a few hours ago, I was feeling so vengeful that I felt ashamed about myself. I was vengeful enough to have started plotting, and was just merely a phonecall away from starting on my journey to orchestrate a downfall. Not that I have reconciled with what he did/is doing, but I think that with...
misplaced update
So, this is where I update while I figure out where I should blog. rockinginyourlight has reached 300. 300 is quite a lot, and a nice number to end.
It’s been a crazy week 1 of the semester, traversing between school and home, and crashing two venue sponsors in search of a venue for PF.
Had a few blessings this week
a disappeared friend re-appeared and came to my rescue
dad being...
