mourning the loss of a dear brother in Christ, and at the same time, trying to rejoice that he's in a better place, with Jesus.
stephen loh, and angel whom God decided that He wanted back, left this earth in the boat incident on friday, in cambodia.
saw auntie cathy and uncle victor on the news and they looked so frail, so pained.. they have after all, lost their 2nd son to the stupid race that didnt make it compulsory to wear life vests. wat is going in those organisers mind?
they already know that accidents occur everytime and yet, they dont bother to make it compulsory. what on earth is that?! that entire thing should be banned. to avoid the losses of more loved ones. the past years accidents should have been a lesson learnt and yet they chose not to heed..

church seemed weird today. i was disturbed at the amount of laughter there was in church.
i know, they probably had spent time alone with God, praying about it..
but somehow, it just felt weird that people were planning for Christmas, i went out shopping..
i felt so guilty just laughing when here's a family from church, waiting and ultimately going to face their worst nightmare of losing their son to some stupid dragonboat race just because it wasnt compulsory for them to wear their life vests.
i feel.. useless.. it's almost like as if i didnt pray enough or something..

why doesnt the world stop
do they not hear the cries and mourns
do they not feel their pain
why is the world still spinning
why do the birds still sing
shouldnt the heavens cry with them
rain down the tears of the angels

at the same time, i'd say
"i guess God wanted His angels back"
