18 May Cry, My Beloved Heart! Yet Silence Be My Faithful Companion
experienced close-up my 1st death in SGH... we were hving surgery tutorial & entered the high dependency ward. standing @ the nurse counter, the closest bed up close had curtains drawn, & i quietly observed as family members of the patient entered the ward in tears, shaking their heads @ each otr in significance of a wld-be passing on. my acute senses picked up the cues, tho many of my team mates did not, & as the family gathered ard the bed, tears streaming, the only sound i heard (blocking out all otr mumblings) was the sound of tt dreadful machine tt records 1's heartbeats.. tee-tee-tee-tee-tee-------------------- (alvin looked up & commented: 'tt's not a nice sound) my heart was achin as tears formed to hwever much my orbits cld contain with my eyes & appendages, without letting e tears spill out & wet my face.
it was so painful, deep in e recesses of my heart, & the surg tutorial jus passed with me seemingly hearing, using wat ounces of my attention left to learn, holding a brave fort as i built up a Great Wall with my eyelids to dam up e wld-be flow.. & also trying to dig trenches deep deep in my orbits to fill the tears.. & oh heart of mine weeping!
had started e day in pure exhaustion & this only drove me deeper into inward silence. ann & sing patted me but i demanded they dun touch me, for any comforting pat wld jus trigger off a watery outflow frm the windows of my soul.
i rmbr this day well. its a day when the trio became quirky as we suffered brain drain & tt sly character called Weariness came & infused us more than it did b4.. where ovr fits of nonsense we laughed on our faces yet cried inwardly.. during tea aftr lunch
& thereaftr tt death took me deeper into a myriad of emotions..
but to e beloved ann & sing, we went aftr tt & talked ovr sugarcane, releasing some bottled up emos & fears frm within.. not complete release: tt only comes when 1 comes b4 our loving heavenly Father & draw close to Him.. but now, it was sufficient to say, words of wisdom & encouragemt patched up some of tt sore wound within..
tt day was 1 of those days i din feel lik replying smses.. jus needed tt time alone.. jus needed to come close to God & seek Him.. so if ever i dun reply smses for a long while, dun worry, for i am in safe arms..

The Beloved Teenster-Clay
Before the clay had any form
Beknown to Him all along
Befriended prior to her 1st breath
Beheld in His arms, saved from death
Beatified to know her Lord
Beside quiet waters her soul's restored
Begun her walk on this moulding path
Becalmed each step by His rod & staff
Beaconed thru life by His Word
Besought Him, every occasion heard
Beclothed in His wondrous image
Bestirred to spread His love message
Bequeathed to her His grace & love
Belong the clay to her Father above
Behold Him the King of Kings!
Beyond time & space He reigns!
