*Thoughts...

Over the last weekend, we visited the disabled home somewhere in taman megah. Looking at kids laying on the floor, helpless...with no capabilities of moving about. But I wasn't in total shock meeting these special bunch of people since mum has been handling with special kids, it's not something new to me. Oh, what joy it was seeing them all excited when we dropped by to spend some time with them. They would literally come running to you with arms wide opened for a great big hug or even to be carried...or even just a handshake. I am truly awed by the infinite patience and love of the caretakers to take care of all these kids. My bestfriend Yong May did a good job of writting "the inside" about the whole experience in her blog...which u can read it here

I do realize I take certain things...or people forgranted. Sometimes its not that I just don't care or don't appreciate much...but sometimes it's just that i find it hard to express my appreciation and gratitudes. And at times as humans, we sometimes take God forgranted also. It's always easier to have faith than to actually put that faith to practice.

Life is a journey...
I've read this somewhere sometime back and how true it is...
That it's not what happenes to people that's important. It is what they do about it.
That no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.
That it takes you a long time to become the person you want to be.
That you can't make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved and the rest is up to them.
That no matter how much you care, some people just don't care back.
That it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
That it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.
That you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do.
That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

Anywayz, here's a link to a current fav song with the lyrics below.

No One Else Knows - Building 429

My world is closing in
On the inside
But I'm not showing it
When all I am is crying out
I hold it in and fake a smile
Still I'm broken
I'm broken
Only one can understand
And only one can hold the hand
Of the broken
Of the broken

When no one else knows how I feel
Your love for me is proven real
When no one else cares where I've been
You run to me with outstretched hands
And You hold me in your arms
Again

I need no explanation of why me
I just need confirmation
Only You could understand the emptiness inside my head
I am falling
I am falling
I'm falling down upon my knees
To find the one who gives me peace
I am flying
Lord I am flying

When no one else knows how I feel
Your love for me is proven real
When no one else cares where I've been
You run to me with outstretched hands
And You hold me in Your arms
Again

I have come to you in search of faith
Cause I can't see beyond this place

Oh You are God and I am man

So I'll leave it in Your hands


When no one else knows how I feel
Your love for me is proven real
When no one else cares where I've been
You run to me with outstretched hands

When no one else knows how I feel
Your love for me is proven real
When no one else cares where I've been
You run to me with outstretched hands
And You hold me in Your arms,
Ohh You hold me in Your arms,
I know that You'll hold me in Your arms
Again
