1 down 5 to go.

while there have been pple who have alr finished it today

life is unfair.

then again, it is never fair so why am i complaining?

okay. that is irrelevant

breakwaters.

i shall talk about breakwaters today cause while i was having a nap just now, i had a dream.

i was brought back to thurs/fri.

where the girls were sitting by the breakwater in east coast, watching the guys and getting a nice tan.

you know, the reason why breakwaters are there is to stop/slow the waves down when they wash ashore.

without a breakwater, the waves will rush upon the shore and somehow, over time, our coastline will get erroded since east coast is artificial in the sense that it is reclaimed land.

so anw thats the purpose of a breakwater.

without breakwaters, destruction will set in, land will be erroded after time.

in life, religion,friends and parents serve as our breakwater

or maybe even time spent pondering over stuff serves as a breakwater.

often it is these nuggets of advice from the bible, parents or friends that make us pause and slow down and think if we are on the right track.

and i thank god for the breakwaters in my life.

the breakwaters that make me stop and think and relook through life.

we all need breakwaters dont we?

i came online again to concude this post properly.

i have been pondering over it since

i came across this sometime back and i feel compelled to share it not only with jean but with everyone else.

"If you hold back on the emotions - if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them - you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerablity that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head fully and completely. You know what pain is. You know what love is. You know what grief is. And only then can you say,'All right?I have experienced that emotion. I recognize that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotion for a moment.' "

what a beautiful and apt quote from tuesdays with morrie.

its still a beautiful world out there isnt it?
