To mei,

These two years flew by with you around. It seems like it was only yesterday when I first met you. You were clad in a red shirt and I had no frigging idea who you were, but we've come a long way from anonymity. Many can stand for that.

It's been a joy knowing you mei. You were initially my bitching partner but I levelled up and became your brother lolol. Thus, I liken our relationship to a dota game --> level 1: strangers, level 2: friends., level 3: bitching partner, level 4: mei, level 5: cousin in law??? (but still my mei of course) hahah. Always engaging, always entertaining, always enjoyable, a dota game in essence which I hope lasts for a lifetime instead of a mere 45minutes.

In all my years I've known you, I've found you to be an unassuming, selfless and loving individual. I admire and love you for being the way you are. To sum you up in a single word: awesome. For every chiding you get from your parents, every relationship problem you fall into and every indescribably, messed up situation you find yourself in, my heart aches for the torment you have to endure. But remember that I'll always be here for you mei. A-L-W-A-Y-S.

Jabez is privileged to have met someone like you. Someone of such mental calibre, emotional maturity and physical attractiveness is a rarity. Well done jabez, clap clap clap lololol. SOOO GAY. Cousin, I am proud of you for your achievement. Then again, my cousin is awesome too. So clap clap clap mei, well done to you as well (:

Such a great person so greatly misunderstood. Don't feel bad if there're people who dislike you because they dont know who you really are yet. Justin, Julian, Jabez, Joseph (frigging 4 Js wtheck?) and alex still think you rock lool.

Army calls and I have to answer. I hope our relationship continues to strengthen mei. As the school term approaches, I am confident that with your intelligence, astuteness and selfmotivation, and most importantly God's grace, Junior College will be a memorable and smooth sailing journey for you. Always look to God for courage and strength mei, plus your kor'll only be a phone call away on weekdays.

Psalms 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills --where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip --
He who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD watches over you --
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm --He will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and goingboth now and forever more.

Claim this passage mei when the stress seems insurmountable, when the scoldings seem unbearable.

A Happy 17th birthday (:

with love,
alexxx

364.25 days ago, while on the bus ride to school, it was my 16th birthday, and this was playing on my sister's ipod into my ear

Lord of all the earth
How You care for me
You have made me
You will save
And carry me always

[c]
You are faithful
You are faithful
You are faithful
Your joy is my strength

Lord You are my guide
I rely on You
I put my hope in things not seen
Your promises all true

[b]
A;ways You're with me
Your hand will lead me
My trust is in Your name

God has indeed brought me through one dark year.
