She is missing


Lily Kong Lee Lee. 17 years old. Reported missing since weeks ago.

Have you seen her?

It has been said that she ran off with her boyfriend.

Any information about her whereabouts (if you know) would be very much appreciated.

***********************************************************************************

You know how it is when sometimes we complain how mundane life is? After doing so, something suddenly crops up and we complain about how tough life is on us. We then start going into depression mode and curse and curse and curse and question and curse some more about how 'soi' we are and do a bit more of questioning.

Has it ever crossed your mind that this could be a pathway, deliberately set in your way to direct your path back to your actual destiny?

Often we end up chasing rainbows, which of course seems like a prized possession from afar and we forget about the thing that matters most at the end of the day. Sure, it may seem as though attaining that rainbow is our entire life but after reaching for it, suddenly it seems that it is not that vital after all. Then, another rainbow is spotted and we start another chase for it, reach it, finds out that this rainbow does not satiate our satisfaction and continue with the chase.

Is that rainbow really our whole future? Or are we just trying to believe that it is?

Heard a sermon about this particular matter yesterday and it made me realize how some of the things that I have been pursuing all this times are well 'donkeys' (according to the pastor). Our donkeys can be anything; relationships with others, wealth, entertainment, education. Anything.

Although theses 'donkeys' may distract us or even hurt us, we just go after it over and over again, dirtying our hands in their droppings just trying to obtain them. In the end, it is all just a big mistake.

It is time to rethink and rearrange these priorities in life. It is time to stop dirtying my hands and wasting time in this chase over my life's donkeys. It is time to stop, listen and wait for the correct directions from above in order to reach my true destiny.

It is time I stop wasting time on trying to pursue things which will hurt me in the end.


To end on a lighter note. A friend of mine inspired me to write a few-sentence story about a boy.

One day, there was a boy. His name was Hibiki Inokuma. A regular 20-year-old like well, other 20-year-olds who led a regular life of university attendance, meeting up with old friends, chatting people up on MSN and the occasional car racing. After all, he is a regular boy, yes? Well, there was a twist to this regular boy. As much as he loved life, there was something he loathed with all his might. A bad experience led to his hatred against one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year; the Olympics 2008. The end.

Haha. How do you like that, o friend who inspired me?

Till then.
