HAPPY and sad

this picture was taken on the day of Victor and Yvonne's matrimony! Tristan kicked soccer till he's charcoal black and peeling. It was a truly happy day for these 2 very influential friends. Yvonne the most positive and empathetic girl i know and victor, the most intelligent guy i know. Everybody's getting married and pregnant. This reminds me of a very sad incident for me. Its about a colleague. She just gave birth recently and her baby have some lung problems. (Pulmonary atresia). She used to be such a happy girl. Everytime i see her, she's not like any pregnant ladies i know. She always smiling and bubbly and best of all she still looked great while being pregnant. Lots of women get grouchy and frumpy while pregnant, not that they can be blamed, its part of the hormonal changes. Guys have all the comfort.hehe. Anyway that is besides the point. After my colleague realised her baby not too well, she refused visitors. I happened to see her one day in the neonatal ICU staring into the depths of the floor while holding a milk bottle. Her hubby just looking longingly at her. At that moment i just felt so so sad. With expectations comes disappointment. We expect a normal healthy baby when all the screenings didnt show any abnormality, but when it turns out otherwise, disappointment is great. Life is precious. I am always afraid of my loved ones suddenly passing away. I always imagine the worse of any situation and cringe at the thought of it. (like when im in a car, i'll imagine the lorry ahead toppling over us)

Dear Estee,

Think u feel this way also cos u're in the hospital and more in touch with unhappy events that can be seen in hospital.

Sometimes i also feel like u, especially when i look at the news in the TV about some unfortunate events. But i try to discard all the unhappy thoughts and believe that God will extend His protection to my loved ones.


You're going to Melbourne soon ya? Hope you enjoy yourself and take care. Go visit Victoria market, got many things to buy! heeee
