Definitely, Maybe

Just watched the movie “Definitely, Maybe”. What a story! It had a great ending with William Hayes, the dad finally telling his true feelings to April. Finally they ended up together! But the sad part is it took him years! Years, years later to do so! Why?!

Does it always take a “lost” before we truly cherish what we did possess? Why do we not value what is already in our hands? Can’t we see with clear lenses? Why does our perception seemingly almost always gets clouded and hazy amongst the kaleidescope of colours and shapes that move around us?

Do we get so caught up with trying to find the right one, the right something, that we miss the very one that is right before our eyes? Why do we hold onto what seems good, even though sometimes it feels like “something is missing”? Do we get fixated on a certain look and feel, that we miss the very opportunity of what could be?

Is it definitely? Or sometimes maybe?

 

In A Place Like This:

Ever been in a place like this?
A place like the whole world is in motion, but you’re stuck in yester-zone?
A place like time’s moved on, but you’re holding on to the past?

Ever been in a place like this?
A place where voices are speaking, but none of the words are sinking in?
A place where people are hurried, but you’re sitting in a hospital bed?

Ever been in a place like this?
A place where trust & love once strong, but now shattered and wounded?
A place where used to bring peace & laughter, but now swirling in tears?

Ever been in a place like this?
A place where crowds cheer with smiles proudly captured, but now just a forgotten memory?
A place where KDX & RMX ruled, but now other priorities have overtook?

Ever been in a place like this?
A place where the head’s nodding & lips moving, but the heart’s sinking and drowning?
A place where the spirit’s urging forward, but the body’s frozen still?

How do you move from a place like this?
How do you remove images ingrained, eyes & smiles captured on film?
How do you remove life’s journey past?
Do you ever? Should you ever?

Do you ever? Should you ever?
Ever been in a place like this?
A place where nothing else used to matter,
except for the dreams shared, hand in hand, step by step?
Now a distant memory but forever engraved.
Do you ever? Should you ever?
Maybe one day…I’ll visit that place again.
oh no, yes I will.
One day, I’ll enter that place again.

Most of them are acquaintances.
Many are friends for a season.
Very few are friends for a lifetime.

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down. Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won’t last.

Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask How are you? Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores running through your head?

You better slow down. Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won’t last.

Ever told your child, we’ll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time to call and say,”Hi”.

You better slow down. Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short. The music won’t last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift….
Thrown away.

Do take it slower.
Hear the music.
Before the song is over.

LOVE LIFE
LIVE LIFE!

 

Iceberg

My time in Australia has been an awesome journey.
The word “SHIP” that Joshie (my bro) had for me when i was back in S’pore in Feb this year, is just sooo appropriate. It has been exactly that. I’m like this ship that is in the vast open seas.
I’ve got nothing. Nothing. Nothing to hold onto, ONLY the Lord to steer me over rough waters and calm seas.

I BELIEVE that beyond the storms and the crashing of waves, the calm that is beyond, over the horizon is absolutely worth it.
The journey beyond, the horizon beyond, where the Glory of God will be manifested will be all worth it.

Dear Lord, keep my spirit humble and my heart pure, draw me close to You. Holy Spirit, teach me to be an iceberg: The 10% that is above the waters, the 10% that people see will only reflect You. But may the 90% that is below the waters, the 90% that only YOU see, be solid and firmly grounded in the depths of the sea, standing strong in YOU, because this is the 90% that will sink any titanic that comes its way.

What really matters in life are the things that really matter to the heart of God.
I fix my eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of my faith.
May my faith be made complete.
