Yesterday was quite a fun activity filled day. Straight after school, I bundled in to a car with Jia Liang’s friends, heading to Bangsar Shopping Centre for a few hours of bowling fun. I was a bit uneasy, anticipating the rented bowling shoes and the unfamiliar company, as I haven’t exactly spent real time together with most of them before. I had a bad start, only scoring 25 points in my first frame. Man, my bowling sure was rusty. After awhile I gradually got the hang of it. I even beat Jia Liang in my last frame! The others joined us after awhile, Kevin, Charlene, Zhi Yang, Jessie. All was good.

After bowling, I rushed home to get ready for yoga instead. Jian Wen wanted me to come for a trial class at the yoga centre he goes to. I’ve always been enthusiastic about trying out yoga, as I’ve learnt of all of its benefits. Jian brought Ian along for the trial class too. Yoga proved itself right to me, it was a non-strenuous session which indeed relaxed and energized me. I felt so awake after the session. I’m hoping to bring Mummy for a trial lesson, hopefully she would see its benefits and we could join the class.

Today however, things were on a more somber note as I found out from Jia Liang that Kevin’s dad passed away the night before. I was stunned, I never imagined something like that could happen just today when I gaily spent the day before with Kevin. He was all laughs and joke at the bowling alley yesterday that to think that he lost someone so close to him on the same day is shocking. I pray to God that He will give Kevin comfort and help him and his family through this hard time. I feel so sad for Kevin, I could not think of what I could do for him. I just want to give him a big hug and pray for him. I don’t know what else there is to do that could be of any help to him now.

This was real jolt to the senses, when we once again realize how quickly life can be robbed of us. Every moment spent together is priceless. I wished Kevin had some sort of warning yesterday so that he could have spent the day at home instead. But not everyone gets warnings I know. God be with him I pray.
