How fragile could Human being be?

Human’s life is fragile; no one would ever know what will happen in the next minute. Have you ever encountered such a distressed situation? You are with your beloved one and the very next hour you received a call saying that he/she had passed away in a car accident! What could be your reactions?

If I were in the situation, I would be dumb, not knowing what should be done or what to think of!
I experienced it once; 2 years ago a good friend of mine was killed in an accident. I did not know the occurrence until my sister told me about it out of the blue coz I was in Kuching that time preparing for my final exam.

I was shocked and scare. No one could I turn to nor could I share the feelings. I blamed him for not been there when I needed him the most. I cried for more than a week and being haunted by the feelings for more than a year! Thus, every time I heard of any accidents happened among my friends the feelings come back.

It was not until this morning, a friend of mine told me that her best friend, XX, passed away early in the morning today after celebrating her Valentine’s Night with some of her friends. I was really shocked not knowing what to think or what to say. My younger sister called me and she cried over it for XX was her friend! There is nothing that I could do nor tell to comfort her. I was in complicated and shocked feelings.

Even now.. I just want to blog out my feelings.. not knowing what am I writing about.. I just want to share with my faithful readers that you would bear with me.

Share with you all a hymn, a hymn that reminded me of my 'tomorrow'.

‘I don’t know about tomorrow’
I don’t know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day,
I don’t borrow from its sunshine
For the sky may turn to grey.
I don’t worry about my future,
For I know what Jesus says,
And today He walks besides me,
For He knows what is ahead.

© Many things about tomorrow,
I don’t seem to understand.
But I know who holds tomorrow,
And I know who holds my hand.

History of Valentine's Day

It is February the 14th, a day full of kindness and love. The air is fully saturated with love and care for their beloved one. I took a day off going around having a sense of the love season. Oh well, shops full of pinkish and reddish soft toys, candies, chocolates and wishing cards with all the poetic love outpour from the writer.

There are a lot of versions regarding Valentine’s Day history. Well I’m here to share whatever I know. Valentine’s Day is believed to be originated from Roman Empire. In ancient Rome, February the 14th was a holiday to honour Juno who was the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses.

In that time, the lives of boys and girls were strictly estranged. However, one of the customs is the names of Roman girls were written on paper and placed in a jar. Each man would then draw a girl’s name from the jar and would then be partners for the duration of the Feast of Lupercalia. Sometimes the pairing lasted an entire year, and often, they would fall in love and marry.

However, under the ruling of Emperor Claudius II, Rome was famed in many bloody campaigns. Claudius King was having a hard time getting soldiers to participate in his military. He found out that the only reason for them not to join was that the young man did not want to leave their loves or families. Thus, He cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome forcing all the young man to join his military league.

St. Valentine was a priest at Rome in the days of Claudius II. He aided the Christina martyrs and secretly married couples. However, his noble deed was apprehended and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. He died on the 14th of February 270A.D. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine for his noble deed of joining the loves one together.

Oh well, there might be a lot more other version of Valentine’s Day history. The meaning of the Valentine’s is just to remember your love one; your spouse, friends or even your family members. Showing your appreciation towards them.

10: After tommorow (Mandarin) TRANSLATION (Only for temporary used!)
Vincy Chan and Raymond Lam

V: In your memory there is only me,
I’m always there during the hard times,
And I will only leave when it’s clear

R: You saved me from being lonely, my pain, and my dream
But in front of you I can’t promise anything
I can’t wait to tell you
You have touched my heart

V: Your strengths, your weaknesses
F: You understand my attitude the best
V: I don’t want you to love me dearly
F: I don’t want you to leave me
T: After tomorrow we will understand
Lovelorn is a setback which will help people mature

V: I feel as though feeling overrides love
F: Because of you, you’ve given me strength, given me unlimited luck
I’ve actually thought to love you well
V: I’m just worried in the end that we’re not careful and I’ll be hurt (F: I’m not afraid to be hurt)
T: Sorry, I think that we shouldn’t be together
F: In the end I see you with someone else
V: There will be a day where I find the only one (F: I’m not your only one)
T: We will smile as we congratulate one another

*Chorus

V: Love will make people suffer
F: This is why we chose this path
T: To be each other’s best friend instead of lovers

SEPTEMBER : suave and compromising . careful , cautious and organized . likes to point out people's mistakes . likes to criticize . stubborn . quiet but able to talk well . calm and cool . kind and sympathetic . concerned and detailed . loyal but not always honest . does work well . confident . sensitive . good memory . clever and knowledgeable . loves to look for information . must control oneself when criticizing . able to motive oneself . understanding . fun to be around . secretive . love leisure and traveling . hardly shows emotions . tends to bottle up feelings . very choosy , especially in relationships . systematic .

Oh well, let see and analyzed. (Only the best apply)

* Stubborn. Oh well, those who really know me agree with this. I'm just too stubborn. Once I make any decision even the sky fall down I would never change my mind even though most of the time I crap a lot about giving up. The reality is I never give up..

*quiet but able to talk well. Errmm... Some time. If I were not in my mood, I didn't even know what the hell am I talking about.

* calm and cool.. I always categorized myself as cool.. others might said that I'm calm as well.. coz of my cool characteristic. The reality is only those who really know me know!!! So how much you know me? *hahaha..

* kind and sympathic, concerned and detailed, loyal but not always honest. I'm kinda soft hearted person (my weakness!!!) I could hardly say the word 'NO'. Most of the time their requests I will say 'OK'. Whenever I said the word 'NO' I will feel bad.. so am I kind enough??? Loyal but not always honest.. I had a lot of so called 'white lies'! What it means I will lie so that other won't feel bad about themselves!!! So never asked me whether you are plump, pretty, tall, clever... or not... or some personal matters.. (I never want others to know too much about my personal life). Thus my answers would be either 'Still ok', 'I don't know!' or I keep my mouth shut!!!

* Sensitive. Beware I'm sensitive!!! haha.. I really wonder!!! *Tell me if you feel tat I'm sensitive!

.

.

.

* hardly show emotion, tends to bottle up emotion! No cure! I'm this type of person! Only friends those I trusted and I knew quite well will I share my feelings.. most of the time I would rather bear it myself.

* Very choosy especially in relationships... wow... I'm choosy.. really choosy!!! Will share with you all how choosy I am in relationships in next post.

* Those who wanna express your opinions on what kind of person am I in your mind kindly posted a comment or comments ya.. Thanks.

I tag whoever reading this..
