SURPRISE! It's day 9125-ish post (of my entire life). Not sure if anyone still visits this blog, but I decided to post a surprising post because today marks my quarter-century. Gosh I thought I would always be forever 19!
First of all, I didn't plan to contemplate anything, let alone to post something on this blog again. But a friend of mine—who shall remain nameless—once upon a day came to me and asked to share '25 things that make me happy'. I don't know for what purpose, but that made me pause and reflect.
Before I share the contemplation, let me tell you what happens today. . .

Day 252
It's fascinating to see how well-travelled people these days. Is it because of airfares that are getting more affordable? Incomes that are getting higher? Or people who are getting more venturesome? Well, it could be all of them. The world now seems smaller and easier to explore. However, there are a few things people tend to overlook before departing to a foreign land.
Day 251
If I could summarise my contemplation this year into one theme and picture, it would be this:
Day 250
Today we are celebrating the greatest act of humility, the remarkable evidence of love, the fulfilment of prophecies, and the beginning of hope and reconciliation.
Day 248
Part of me is darn realistic, but the other part is awfully romantic. Sometimes I wonder how could I be both logical and idealistic. It's like having the best and the worst of both worlds. I am a real life oxymoron.
Day 245
During a season of predicament, one of the heavy tasks is to love those who are hard to love. In this case, I am struggling to be gracious towards some family members.
Day 238
I remember at the beginning of this year I was following a Line series called Nic & Mar on YouTube.
Day 235
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do. . .
I used to overplay that song when I was in Seattle. Partly because of its catchy melody, and partly because the lyrics resonated with many different emotions. I was beginning to get to know a friend—who I've found quite intriguing and often wondered what's in his head. However, my shyness...uhh my pride wouldn't let me show or express my curiosity.

Day 224
One of the songs often played at our church in Seattle is 'Ever Be' by Bethel Church. At first, my mother and I teased my sister because of the way she sang it and how often she did that. But the more I listened to the song, the more I realised the truth it has in the lyrics.
Day 222
Today I felt like I wasn't being myself. I couldn't feel God. I was overcome by my own fear, anxiety, bitterness, and weakness. I screamed, sobbed, kicked, and punched things like a person without hope and faith. I couldn't conceal my anguish. I expressed my frustration and anger in any way I could until I got exhausted and my family worried. It's certainly not my best day.
Day 218
That moment when you realised you should've written down the thoughts you had because chances are you would not remember them later. . .well, this is that moment. Been neglecting this blog for almost a week, not sure if anyone's noticed. I decided to post something rather trivial yet fun to make:
Day 217
Weddings are wonderful celebration of holy covenant. As a Christian, I believe there's something sacred about this union, because not only a man unites with his wife for as long as they live, but it also illustrates the love Christ has for the church. It gives me chills whenever I think about this picturesque image.
Day 208
Honestly, I haven't been able to contemplate well since last week. Blogging becomes more burdensome than fun. I have added more things into my 'to-do' list, yet I don't feel motivated to carry them out. This makes me even more sure that, for an INFJ like me, people who are willing to take over dealing with my paper-works and practical needs are true heroes. Applications and deadlines make me want to throw up :(
Day 207
One of my favourite 'forms of advice or encouragement' is presence. I am thankful for some of my friends, who not only send their thoughts and prayers but more significantly, make themselves available for me during this dry season. Presence truly beats presents.
Day 190
Some days, my struggle includes both pain and numbness, which sounds indescribable and unexplainable. Those are the days when I usually feel the weakest (outwardly) and yet the strongest (inwardly).
Day 187
How often do you find yourself in a state or a place where you suddenly realise nothing really matters? Not in a cynical way, of course. It is a moment of realisation that you've found what matters the most and you wouldn't trade it for anything else in this world.
This leads to another question to ponder: what matters the most?

Day 171
"People take pleasure in anything they say; but a word at the right time, how good it is!" (Proverbs 15:23)
That is probably why I am thankful to be surrounded by a lot of ENFP friends. . .
