do you have regrets in your life that sometimes you feel like going back to the past and redo everything?
i just finished a jap series titled proposal daisakusen. it's interesting how the main character fought his best to change the past but at the end decided to face the present and fight for the future instead. it was really heartwarming and put something to my thought.
first, those who think that there's tomorrow are idiots.
sounds harsh but true.
as he kept on hesitating and holding himself back, time passed. and all left for him is regrets.
second, about facing the truth and fight for your life at the present.
not to dwell on 'if only'. there's no way to turn back the clock so don't dwell on it.
similarly, i was reminded on a verse from the bible-
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
in my walk with God, there are many things that i should have done or perhaps shouldn't have done. but failures and mistakes are steps to success and they motivate me to press on toward the final goal. whether it's my ministry or other aspects of my life.
looking forward is the way. and look at it positively. life feels better that way =)

i woke up at 6 am this morning. lol. felt amazing. maybe i should start waking up early everyday.
anyway, i had a great weekend.
after the discouraging friday, i spent my sat celebrating germs' belated bday. few of us went to partyworld, sang some songs (mostly forced by the bday gal) lol. it was pretty fun.
then we had dinner at cuppage level 2 (i can never remember the restaurant's name).
that would be the 6th time i celebrated her bday, it's just scary how time flies.. well at least i didn't throw up for 4 times after the celebration this year =P
sunday was a long day.. joseph opened up his place for bbq followed by a night hike at mt faber. i didn't know why i agreed on the latter activity. lol.
we started around 10 (pm) something, from vivo climbed all the way up to mt faber. seriously, i had no idea where we were as i was just following the guys. there were 12 of us in total.
from faber, i think we followed the trail to canopy walk.. kent ridge.. or something.. it was really dark and humid..
i have to say that despite of the tiredness (i have never perspired that much before), it was an enjoyable walk. just like what jo said, it was a good time of bonding as we spent time talking to one another or simply enjoying one another's presence. something that we can't do during movies.
we ended everything around 1 am? lol. a good shower was desperately needed.
and i slept through the whole monday...
lastly, i gotta thank God for His intervention this morning as well. i really really prayed for everything to be fine between my colleague and i. so i went to her first thing in the morning and we had a good talk. i know that she didn't mean to be 'mean' to me, personally i had my fault too. so we kinda apologized to one another. lol. it was pretty funny.
anyway, i am sooo glad that it turned out well. i can't work well knowing that someone is hating me.. especially she's someone that i do care a lot as well. that feeling is terrible.. more than boss' scolding.
suddenly everything seems great now =)
