Felt happy that JX asked me for dinner today after his RT. Due to his irregular working hours and especially since we have both stepped into the workforce, we seldom have much time to spend during weekdays. Hence the reason why every meetup on weekdays is so precious to me. :) ...

Like most men of few words, today is one of the rare days where he pour his heart out to me.. sharing with me what's bothering him at work / among friends... like any typical women who loves communication, i sometimes will resort to a heated argument with him in order to "force" him to speak up but sad to say, it usually don't work out but backfired instead. :(

Men just don't like to be force to speak and this is a fact of life. So, i've learnt to take the smart way out by listening to him if he wants me to, and in times when he don't wana talk about his life, i will yak about mine. Hehee. ;) .

BTW, i went for service last saturday and met an extraordinary inspirational speaker, Mr Nick Vujicic. He is extraordinary as he was born without limbs and yet has overcome all odds to live a purposeful life by God's grace. To check out more, you can go to http://lifewithoutlimbs.org/. To take a glimpse into his daily life, click on http://lifewithoutlimbs.org/media-video-results-nick.php?mediaID=1. You will be amazed by how independent he is.

I admire him for his courage and trust in God amidst others' criticism, discouragement and skepticism. The fact that he accepted himself for who he is and braving the storms in life without questioning God the whys, is greatly commendable. As a result, his existence has greatly encouraged the less-privileged ppl in this world and bring hope to them once again as he display a living testimony of how God's grace & love can strengthen oneself & empower a person to live a meaningful life even when others think otherwise.

When i looked at him, i can't help but feel ashamed of myself when i am an abled-body and yet kept putting restrictions on myself, questioning & struggling to trust God at times. The saddest thing in life, is not the handicapped of the physical, but mental state of a person really.

There's really so much things I have yet to & need to learn in this journey of life...
