I'm feeling emo...
On a Monday morning.
But I have Mondays off...
*???*
Maybe it's all those assigments.
Or maybe it's because... *deep breath*
...I'm almost 30 and people remind me I'm not getting any younger and I'm still single and still living on the ground floor of my parent's home and still living off them because I don't have a job where I'm earning my own living and therefore can't contribute to expenses because I'm back at college studying and am struggling to cope with assignments because it's been so long ago since I was a student and then most of the people I spend most of my time with are at least 5 years younger, AT LEAST, whereas my former schoolmates who are my age have got nice high position jobs that take them flying to foreign countries or they are working overseas or who are alreay happily married and having a place of their own while I'm still single and have nothing!!!
Well, not really nothing. I got my family. And I got my friends. Young or not, in a way, they're also like my family. And I've got Jesus. Precious Jesus.
Oh bother. I'm not gonna finish this post coz my little niece keeps bugging me to play. Heh.
*Ouch!* she was bouncing on my bed and just fell off with a loud "THUD!" Yikes, that's gonna leave a mark! She's crying but I managed to get her smiling again. No, she's giggling! And now, she's scampering onto my bed and bouncing again! *smile*
Wow, to be young again and not have any worries.
I learnt something. 'Bouncing' around in life, we're gonna face some tough twists and turns. And when we lose our balance, we're gonna fall. Some falls are not so bad, but some hurt and leave a mark. But we always have to get back up again.
We can all nod and agree with that, but the getting back up part is not so easy. It's much easier though, when we get lots of encouragement and support from people around us... Dear God, I know it's You, and it's been You all along. Everytime I fell, you were there. And you were there to pick me up again. Forgive me when I took my eyes off you and focused on the storms instead. No wonder I had the sinking feeling... but once again you reached out and held me by the hand.
Now that's gonna leave a mark.

Don't feel so down... you're still very young.
God has wonderful plans for your life, you never know what could happen in the next year or two!
Yeah Donny you aren't that old at all okay. Besides, when we girls were talking in high school abt optimum marriage age for guys, the general consensus was like 28 and ur not far off. Hahahaha. N u noe we're just teasing right when we call u old. Seriously u're the most UN-old person ever!
N besides, ur reli such an awesome person and rmmbr in The Sound of Music?

Hi Kira!
KYRA'S SOOOO CUTE!!~~
ok.. that's beside the point here...
don't worry, Donny! you're such a GOOD man.. God's just taking a lil longer to make it the B-E-S-T for u!! =)
and remember the other time when you were also feeling discouraged about the fact that your friends are all much better off than you? that's NOT true.. and you know that, right? you HAD what was pleasurable in this life, a stable job, good pay..
YET you chose to take up your cross and follow Jesus. humbled yourself and listen to the voice of God. now that's a SACRIFICE or shall i say OBEDIENCE that N.O.T every single man can or will do. BUT YOU DID.
great is your reward in Heaven, Donny. and we all love you. ^_^
ok lah, if it's of any help at all, i'm like, 4 months older than u lah (that's alot ok!) =___= there there, no more emoing lah ok.
speaking of better-off friends, i was on an emo fest also yesterday, seeing my ex classmates (on facebook) all high flyers, dubai lah, australia lah, big named companies lah. and i just found out i'm very underpaid for my age!!! :( sigh. so ur not alone.
