*no, it’s not suppose to be like that*
Was messaging with a friend yesterday night telling him my problems and sadness. Instead of getting advice and comforting words from him, I ended up encouraging him to go on with his life and leave everything to God. Not even a word of encouragement from him. Sigh. Things are not suppose to be done this way. When somebody is telling you their problems, you should listen. Doesn’t matter whether you’re able to help or not, you still need to give your full support by listening to their problems and NOT shoot them back with your own problems. I may not be perfect nor neither a good comforter, but I’m pretty sure I’m a good listener. Every time when my roommate come back having a bad day, I will stop whatever I’m doing and give my full attention and listen to her stories. Sometimes I just keep silence because I do not know how to help her and what sort of advice that she needs. But I never fail to listen to her, every time, when she talks. Imagine when you’re complaining to your friends on how frustrated and sad you are, hoping to get some comfort from them. But instead, they start complaining theirs back to you, without giving any attention to your problems at all. How would you feel? People often neglected other people’s feelings without realizing them, and I know I sometimes failed to take care of my friends’ feelings too. I’m sorry, truly I am.

my dear…
*Hugz*
this is the first time i read all of ur blog. something drives me to click on ur friendster and.. here i am!
i dunno what i can say but as to summaries it, u actually started of very well.. so happy, the peace, the joy, the fun u r had even when u r busy coping with ur life.
but what happened now..?
u seem so ‘negative’(sorry to say that).. the emptiness inside u.. what has gone away from u? where is the laugh and the smile u once had?
u know what, when i first met u i really can’t recognized u for the 2nd time we met ;P .. but a simple testi from u makes me thk that u do notice and care for the ppl which makes u unique from other ppl..
after u gave so much, now u must have been feeling underappreciated..
feeling out of place, imperfect.. it’s all a lie..
u have to find ur true source of strength.
i’ve tasted it as well, however i learned that putting faith in ppl and works bring disappointment, but putting faith in God brings Hope!!
doing things for God shld give us strength..
all things happened for a reason, there’s something u need to grab hold of..(what God is trying to tell u..?)
ppl might not understand, but u do know who understand u the most!
wanted u to know that…
we love u..
all the best in ur final exam!!
Cheers!!
