A farmer's struggle

The struggles of growing a seed,

Is never knowing if the efforts will pay off.

You till at the soils, you shower it with love.

In hopes that a harvest awaits.

But sometimes,

That harvest will not come in your time.

So you just pray,

That the next farmer that comes along.

Will be able to reap something beautiful from your sowing.

So for now,

You just hope that the little seed will become the best it can be.

To know that maybe...

Just maybe.

It was all worth it. 

Thigh gap

If you are so obsessed with getting a thigh gap,

Just stand wider.

TA-DA!! 

Thigh gap.

Red skittles

I have never been married,

but I know,

that marriages are suppose to last.

Why make vows that mean nothing?

I'd give you all my red skittles,

Even though I only like the red ones.

Which I really really do.

I'd let you use the shower first,

even if we had limited hot water.

Occasionally,

I think I wouldn't mind washing your dishes for you.

Maybe, 

even your laundry.

I promise to act excited every time you 'try' to surprise me,

and I promise to compliment you,

even when you don't really deserve it.

I promise to not make a big deal when you forget important dates,

as long you promise to not forget them. (hahaha)

I would stay up late at night with you,

and talk about our dreams.

And I'd let you know my darkest fears,

if you'll let me help you conquer yours.

I promise that if you let me be a part of your life,

you will become a part of my world.

I'd say a prayer for you each day,

probably a few more on days you're sick.

And through everything that we will go through,

I'd thank God for you,

for me,

for us.

Because ultimately,

There will come a time.

When beauty and emotions fade.

It will be the dilly-dally in life that'll remind us of who we love.

And why we love.

In a day and age where love dwindles and fast as it kindles,

I want to be reminded of why we chose to say "I do" to each other.

And not anybody else.

Because one day,

when I find you.

I want you to be reminded everyday,

how special you are.

And will be.

That a marriage exists between two individuals,

no more no less.

I want to say 'I love you',

a love worth all the red skittles in the world.

Marriage is a covenant between two individuals,

don't screw it up.

It's about time the world got their head straight about what marriage means.

Day 53 : Stutter perfection

Some stumble,

Some stutter.

Though they seem compose,

theirs heart are in a flutter.

They mutter shy 'hellos',

in hope for a reply.

But.

Even if you look their way,

They'd never look you in the eye.

Their voices crack when you come too close,

they start to constantly giggle.

And this can apply to most of the lads,

The young, the old, the middle.

Though their charms might fail at first,

please do not despair.

For lads like these are genuine at heart,

their heads aren't filled with air.

With patience,

with love.

Help their confidence grow.

And I promise you will find.

That same man,

who used to stutter and fall

Will grow to be divine.

Day 50 : Remembrance

Its been three days.

For some,

its been a year.

How do you go on when you lose someone?

A mother. A brother. A friend. A loved one.



You sit there.

Cry.

You question why things happen the way they do.

Hate.

Anger.

Pain.

You cry some more.






But there will come a time,

when you allow peace to return to you.

And realise.

That while this life we have may seem unfair at times,

it is also filled with compassion.

With kindness, with grace.

With love.





How do I know that?

Because at one point of time,

Life decided to bless us with you.

We've never deserved your kindness.

Your love.

So,

With that said.

Your blessings upon our lives,

was all 'unfair'

Life is unfair.







To the victims of the Lao airline crash,

I might not personally know you.

But I know you've been dear friends to my friends.

I pray for grace to be upon your families,

and I thank you for being a part of the many lives you have touched.




To aunty Gloria,

Its been a year that you have left.

Occasionally,

I still cant believe that you're not here anymore.

My greatest regret was that I was so far away.

But though you may be distant from us physically,

I know you never left.

Your presence,

Your guidance is what keeps your family going.

Your legacy is what we hold on to.

Its been a pleasure journeying with you,

though its a shame your journey ended sooner.

But thank you.

Thank you for showing the world how a little woman,

of barely five feet,

could be the pillar of strength for many.





In loving memories of Aunty Gloria.

and the victims of Lao Airline crash.

Day 46 : wishes

Maybe you'll hold the door.
Or even push my chair in.
Get dressed up.
Smile.
A charming one.
Not cheesy.
Make conversation.
Be really genuine.
Chatty.
Not overwhelmingly so.



You know what.


Does it really matter?

Day 45 : A good laugh

To be funny,

you must first learn to laugh at yourself.

I'm laughing very hard.
