God will make a way

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me

Suddenly this part of the hymn came into my mind. Indeed, God showed me his greatness today.

Few weeks ago I did mention that there’s this childhood friend of mine whom I had scolded her and we never talked anymore. In that entry, I asked for everyone’s opinions and everyone gave the same reply; to approach her and apologize.

Weeks after weeks I waited but she never showed up in Church and I had reached my limit of being patient while waiting for her to showed up. After the church service ended, there is always a moment of silence for everyone to say their silent prayers while the Reverend and Pastor walked through the aisle and stand outside the entrance, shaking hands with everyone who is on the way out and giving their blessings.

In the end I prayed to God and told Him that I longed to meet her and talk to her, apologizing to her too as I could not see her again today.

To me, a miracle happened. After shaking hands with both the Reverend and Pastor, I saw her outside with her mum and sister. My prayer had been answered but it would definitely be weird for me to walk to them just to approach her only. So I prayed and hope that she would leave her family for a short while. Then my prayer was answered, she passed her bible to her mum and went to the washroom.

Suddenly my heart began to beat in an extremely fast pace as if I had just finished running a marathon. I had forgotten what I wanted to say, so I tried to calm myself down by drinking a glass of water at the water dispenser located outside the sanctuary while waiting for her.

It seems like an eternity just to wait for her to come out. In the end she came out and I called her by her name. She turned and faced me, with a “Yes?”

“I wanted to say sorry to you for scolding you last time.”
“Huh? When was it?”
“5 years ago, in Sunday school. I guess you must have forgotten it.”
“Oh, it’s ok. I had forgotten it already.”
“Ok, talk to you next time, See ya.”
“See ya.”

With that, we parted ways. Luckily I did not stammer, but I had forgotten a number of things that I wanted to say to her. I guess it must have been a surprise for someone who never talked to her for 5 years approaching her and apologizing to her suddenly. Her voice hardly changed, still the same old one which I last heard 5 years ago when I scolded her, except that her voice became softer. Oh well…

Anyway, one task cleared from my list of “TO DOs”.

A walk to remember

I watched ‘A Walk to Remember’ few hours ago. The movie was around 4 years old but many told me that it is a good movie so I torrent it without any hesitation. The only regret I had was that I never watched that movie when it was available 4 years ago.

She wanted to witness a miracle; He is her miracle.

Here’s a spoiler for the movie, thanks Jacq! -Click me-

The movie revolves around the lives of two completely different teenagers in Beaufort High School – starring Mandy Moore as Jamie Sullivan and Shane West as Landon Carter.

It all began when a prank on a fellow colleague went wrong; Landon was punished with compulsory participation in various kinds of school activities such as tutoring younger children at their sister’s school and acting in the drama club’s final production – the spring play.

He was left with no choice but to interact with Jamie and seek her help when he realized that he needed help with his lines for the spring play. She agreed on the condition that he does not fall in love with her which he responded confidently “that’s not a problem.” Even so, he mocked her and looked down on her in school just to stay in the group of his own friends.

Soon, Landon was attracted to Jamie’s optimistic attitude – her forgiving nature and her strong faith. He finds himself falling in love with her despite promising her that he wouldn’t. As the both of them began to date, his relationship with his friends and his reputation are threatened. He decides to end all his connection with his former group of friends and even strike down a former friend for publicly humiliating Jamie.

At the climax, we were told that Jamie was diagnosed with terminal leukemia and had stopped responding to treatments. Landon stayed by her side all the time when she was hospitalized. He fulfilled various wishes on her list such as building a telescope so she could see a comet.

The story ends after the both of them got married in the Chapel and Jamie went on ahead to the afterlife. She left behind a great impact on Landon, changing him for the better; he finished college and was accepted to medical school.

Landon apologized to Jamie’s dad, the minister for not being able to fulfill all of her wishes, such as showing her ‘the miracle’ that she wanted to see before she passed on. Her dad said that she had witness it, and it was him who was her miracle.

*******

Like Jacq said, such guys like Landon are hard to find in this world. To think that he even stayed by her side till she breathed her last. To the both of them, their love and loyalty to each other will never end.

This will only happen in movies; in the real world, loyalty doesn’t pays and nothing is forever, except your devotion to God alone.

If you are the guy, and your girl is on the verge of dying or vice-versa; are you willing to give what Landon gave to Jamie? I believe the majority will say “I will.” But when it comes to action, only a few will actually keep their word.

This is my POV; do feel free to leave your own POVs too.

Holiday is coming to town!

This is what friends are for!

There will be a continuous 3 day exam starting from tomorrow and I’m still in front of my PC, shaking my legs. What the heck am I doing?

Actually we (Jeff, FY, Chen, SW, SP and I) wanted to study at the library yesterday but something happened out of the blue. SP’s car’s rear door rammed on to a Proton Waja’s tail light when he reversed his car and the owner of the Waja demanded for a new tail light. So Jeff, Chen and FY went to get a replacement while SP and SW went to fetch me.

All of us met at the 3rd mile SCR and had our lunch there. Then each of us gave word of encouragement to SP while waiting for our food as he looked extremely stressed and down. We all knew about his personal problems and we understood how he felt currently so it was decided that the five of us will pay for the tail light; SP excluded.

After lunch, we went back to my house as I had requested my dad to see if he could try to repair the dent on the rear door. Jeff went back home to collect his car polish and went to pass the tail light to the owner of that car. I took out my reference books (which I had taken earlier on when SP fetch me) and left them at the roof of my car. It turns out that it is not completely impossible to fix the dent but then without the proper tools, it is risky to fix the dent as it might even make the whole situation worse.

In the end, we went to a nearby mechanic which my dad is familiar with to enquire if he could repair the damage on SP’s car to hide the evidence that the car had ran into a minor accident. The mechanic told us that it is possible to repair the dent but it would cost over RM200+. He also said that if we were to ask him to just hammer the dent back to its original position, the rear door would be deformed and it would be even more obvious that SP’s car ran into an accident. In the end, SP said he will just let his mum know about it. I hope that his parents would be more understanding that as long as their son is fine, that’s all that matters and that they would not dig further into the problem and reprimanding him.

Finally Jeff, Chen and FY went to the library while SW, SP and I went back to our respective home. I searched high and low for my books and notes as I had taken them out earlier on but had not left them inside the house when we came back from lunch to have my dad to try to help out with the dent. It turn out that Chen took my books and I laughed at myself for not leaving the book inside the house earlier on.

The remaining hours of yesterday were used up on my grandparent’s house – both sides. It was my grandpa’s (dad’s side) birthday and all our relatives went to celebrate as he had planned a small dinner. I noticed my cousin had re-bonded (straighten) her hair and looked completely different from before but personally I felt that her previous hairstyle looks better than the latter (don’t tell her please =/). After dinner, we settled down for awhile and had conversations with our relatives. Went to my grandparent’s house (mum’s side) for weekly visits and I always collect some pocket money from my grandpa and aunties even though I kept refusing it. Knowing that it wouldn’t be polite to keep on refusing as they kept pushing the money back to me, I took it finally :p

But hey, I’m not money minded hor… ^ ^
