Disoriented at 3am


This is pretty much what was my state of mind at 3am today morning when I was working on our church magazine. Well you can't call it a magazine, but more like a newsletter.. but since the design looks pretty much like a magazine, I prefer calling it a magazine.. either-ways no compulsion in calling it whatever you feel like.. 

I came back home from work by around 8pm last night, not realizing what was in-store for me. My brother briefed me up with the job and left for his house cell meeting. I started off my work with browsing facebook and looking at what my useless friends are at. I still have no idea why I do that, perhaps it gives me the motivation to do a better job.. lol.. So after spending some really unproductive time on facebook, i began working on the design. By midnight I had not even finished half way, but progressing well with the design, my brother and my dad joined in my expedition. It was quite helpful having them along cos by 3am I was completely disoriented & dazed and completely lost focus of what I was doing. But thanks to Hmingpuia (Albatross) a certain musician from Mizoram who's track "Walk with me" which was on my youtube that inspired me to continue with the design. Nevertheless I manage to successfully finish the design by 3.30am. Was a pretty awesome feeling once it was completed.. I should admit though it is quite annoying and bothersome to work so late and under stress, you feel elevated and at peace with yourself once the final design is approved

By the time I burned the disc, and hit the bed it was almost 4am in the morning. But that doesn't mean you have attained Nirvana (not the band), you still gotta get up next day to get to work and proceed with your usual life. Well most people would complain bout a lifestyle like that.. but I guess I have always loved what I do and have always done what I loved.. This is life to me, and it never gets boring (not true.. it does sometimes) and this is how I love it (not quite sure bout that). I am gonna be updating the magazine's pdf version here for all of you to see.. just as promised here is the file I designed, hope you guys like it.. (even if you don't it doesn't bother me lol) until then here is the song that inspired me to work at 3am..

Let Yourself Go



It all began just like any other random boring day, with me at work.. checking my mails and running through the notifications on Facebook.. when one of my friend 2Blue posted this video from the movie, 'zindagi na milegi dobara' (won't get this life again) called Dil Dhadakne De (let the heart beat). I don't know why but this song just made my day.. After a long time I have loved a bollywood song and couldn't stop re-playing it like a doz times already.. So I thought why not share it here with you guys too.. Enjoy!! and learn to live the moment.. :)

Into another dimension


I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race,
I have kept the faith.
 I always hated funerals. Cos its most saddest occasion you can ever attend. People wailing and crying over their loved one's loss, there is gloom and despair all around in the atmosphere. But I guess not today. I should admit it was the best funeral I have ever attended. More than gloom and despair, there was hope in the air. There was a sense of freedom and comfort in the air. Of course, we mourned the death of our Pastor Christopher but the joy of knowing he being in heaven in glory with Christ was more evident. It was quite a stressful week for all, but the funeral was just the perfect way to end it. For many death is the end.. but I believe, death is just the beginning of what is still to come...

Death is inevitable..

Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange..
 So I woke up today, with the intention of skipping work and resting at home as I had a terrible cold. Spend most of my day trying to sleep but finally succeeded at around 1pm, only to be woke up by my brother to say 'Pastor Christopher was no more'. If you remember, I had mentioned him in my previous post. He was battling cancer and lost to it but not to his purpose in life. It was quite a shocking news for all of us. None of us expected it. It felt like it was all a bad dream and everything would be fine once someone woke me up from it. But nobody woke me up yet!

Pastor Christopher passed away about 2.30pm today. Soon enough we got the news all of us friends gathered to his place to comfort his wife and their 2 children. Losing a loved one is never easy, but there was a comfort we all experienced that is difficult to explain. Pastor Ravi Raj who had come to visit Christopher had to leave that evening. Hence I along with a friend drove him to the airport by around 6pm and picked up Christopher's son, Joel who was in Goa at about 8pm. We stayed at their place until it was past 11pm after feeding them dinner and consoling them. But there was something that his wife shared that was very comforting. She said, before he died he knew his time had arrived. And I have seen this quite often that when a believer (someone who believes in the Lord Jesus) dies he always sees the Angels who come to receive them and they exactly know the moment when their time is up. Pastor Christopher too did see the angels come to take him back home and that my friend I realized what is the 'blessed hope we have in Christ'.

Love Actually.. is all around..


Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around

The above quote from the movie "Love Actually" is so true. Today, I went to the airport to pick up one of our senior pastors, Ravi Raj who had come to visit our ailing pastor Christopher. I always loved visiting the airport. I love the whole atmosphere in an airport.. with so many people greeting each other. Some bidding goodbye's and some welcoming other back home. Young students returning from overseas, businessmen talking on their phones and chalking out their next move, grandparents visiting their grand kids, young couples excited about their honeymoon and their time they look forward to spend together.... you find all kinds of people. And so true to the above quote, not once do you see an air of hate in the atmosphere. I really think if you ever feel life sucks, or not worth living, take a walk to the nearest airport and that will change your perspective towards it.

And I'm Back...


So today is August 11th 2011. It's been almost 8 months since I last posted something in here. So what have I been doing all this time?? Well I was just too lazy to write another post. Besides i doubt if anyone really missed me or my post.. lol. But today when I just came back to my blog I was like "woah???? I got 12,617 views" that's kinda huge.. haha.. so I thought maybe its time I write something. And so here I am back again on blogger, with nothing to write about and still want to write.

Well.. this sucks.. just before I could write something, my boss calls me.. now I got work to do.. maybe il post something good soon.. as i can't be writing something as depressing as this for a blog that says "Life Rocks Dude... Live it..!!"
