Love is an attitude, love is a prayer,
For a soul in sorrow, a heart in despair;
Love is good will for the gain of another,
Love suffers long with the fault of a brother

A tribute to Joshua
Poems are never my forte, and neither my prose are as comparable to the literate pros. But this tribute I have to write, before buddy vanishes out of sight; into the dense unknown I might add, on a ferry through the straits of time, bound for a place of memories named...tekong. It is cold dark and green tonight. So without a choice I have to do what I do best. I..... just whack...
To Joshua:
Thanks Joshua for each and every morning
your company and prayer was very much my thanksgiving (well the others included too)
Thanks Joshua for each provocating jokes
they are still stucked in my head
Thanks Joshua for having the same name as a book of the old testament
it helped me to 'be strong and courages' as I lead tj sv
Thanks Joshua for always being so serious
it forces me to lay aside my childish nature
Thanks Joshua for being so crappy
it means I can be crappy too (yay!)
Thanks Joshua for introducing me to bleach
see lah now I'm hooked on it T_T
Thanks Joshua for your idle chatter and self indulgence
it inspired me to write a blog; furthermore, in the middle of prelims..thanks ah...
Thanks Joshua for the sophisticated english language writing prowess you've displayed on your blog
it also inspires me to do the same...albeit an utter failed attempt
Thanks Josh for being such a words-fail-to-describe friend
for the many cares and support you've showed me through the year, especially the most recent incident (yea that one involving my family)
Thanks Joshua for praying for me
I'm praying for you too =)
Thank you josh for also spuring me on through the A level year..to study..though your method may not be the most friendly but at least its logical =P But not forgetting about the traces of encouragement and all still left on the tagboard.
Below is actually a poem (well I hope it looks like one) that I compose for friends of mine leaving singapore for overseas. Well though its only tekong its still overseas right? Apology if it sounds a little weird or inappropriate or just doesn't fit the occasion...its still needs some amandments/improving
Goodbye
Troubles and joy lies ahead
Who knows what the future would hold
Day by day with toils and pain
We go through life as it’s a game
Deadlines, meetings and expectations
All to be dealt with one by one
But blessed are those who hope in the Lord
Whose strength are restored and wings spread
Trusting in his perfect plan
Plans to prosper and not to harm
But blessed of the blessed are the likes of you
Who have people to care and comfort you
Even when the going gets tough
And life may seem a little too rough
Always remember a dear old friend
Not eighty but eighteen years old
Back here in your sweet home town
Not selfish to wish you were back
But praying you are safe and sound
So write in often to tell your story
Of how God has course this Journey
And the tales of life’s great adventures
Which I know is full of wonders
Thus never forget this faithful friend
And always remember
That this farewell is not the end
Goodnight

A tribute to '06
The year 2006
The year 06 I salute you
You brought countless ups and downs
The year 06 I despise you
You hurt me with many pains and despair
The year 06 I'm defeated by you
You showed me the meaning of unrequited love
The year 06 I hate you
For making me struggle in the academic quicksand
But year 06 I'm impress by you
The trials that came my way made me stronger
The year 06 I feel glad because of you
For I have forged eternal friendships 'during you'
The year 06 I adore you
You showed me friends who care and support
The year 06 I'm surprised by you
You also showed me teachers who care
The year 06 I love you
For you have molded me to become a better man,
a gentleman perhaps and still growing strong
2006 oh 2006, I will miss you dearly. You've brought abundent trials and tribulations, love and joy, peace and happiness, tears and smiles.
Sadly as I enter 2007 (which i already have), the same experience I had in 06 would hardly be experienced again; enjoying the sunrise at the steps of the sports complex..and the company that always accompany that experience, drinking to our hearts content after each physical education class, meeting up each week opposite school for fellowship, being a part of the secret society that meet up every morning (rofl .. only josh understands) etc. Not to mention the many thought provoking arguments I had with many ppl eg. amorn priya josh aiysha etc.
I would also miss the cares and concerns from those particular friends that really spured me on to charge towards the A's with the confidence to win. All in all I will miss my TJ experience...though I had to admit I didn't like TJ in the beginning =P but that'll be in another post.
True 2006 was not any 'hakuna matata', anxiety and worries usually clogged my mind during those days seeing others excel and yourself going from bad to worse to worst in class. It was mostly about academic concerns but of course life wouldn't be complete without the 'other' concerns like friendships, infactuations, difficult people and pride. Not to forget finding time for quiet time.
I usually end off my post with a Goodnight but since it isn't night yet...oh well...
