My name is Shuwen
Shuwen is my name
I am Shuwen

I love photography, beauty, fortune, and worldly possessions.
I adore fawns, bunnies, starbucks, and eiffel tower.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Sophistication is part and parcel of life.
Life is like a book of unravelling mysteries.
My life is God's novel, God is the author of my soul.

Ah! The old times. I went to meet up two of my close friends today. It was around afternoon time back then. I was pretending to be some power ranger in my lala land, and then my dream was interrupted by Mun's message. She randomly asked if I would want to grab dinner outside and hit the movies. So yea! Why not? Later at night, Grace rang me up. She said that she called me for fun, which is obviously a lie. But still I went to find her anyway and ask if she would fancy staying over at my place for a night. It had been so long she last stayed over at my place. Four years? Just now we were reminiscing about how we used to compose stories on Quizilla, and I suggested that we write a story about... let's say... both of us got trapped back in the golden age and was chased by dinosaurs?! I became her personal scribe for the night. And just when the story was halfway done, the narrator had already fell asleep into her slumber land. Bloody hell! I'm gonna meet Mun again tomorrow to barbecue ourselves under the sun, and then at night it'll be her turn to stay over at my place. Yipee! I can't wait for pillow fights and our endless chatter about hot gays and lesbians. Hehe!

I was thinking a lot about my mother lately. I can't deny what a role model she had been to me, and she will always be the most amazing woman I will look up to. She may not be the most well educated in the house and her paranoia syndrome is unbearable at times, I guess that's the beauty of it all. She made me understood what matters most in life is not just about intelligence alone, but there is also a need to be emotionally wise in order to be relatable. And speaking of her overly sensitive character, I come to learn that there is a need of compassion towards one another, since compassion is rarely seen around in the outside society nowadays, the more I should adopt love and not hate. Most importantly, she taught me the importance of respect for humanity. Her life revolves around loving the broken hearted, meeting the ones who are in need, healing the ones that are hurt. To her, life values should be all about kindness and no judgement. To me, she is like a glass crystal. She may be fragile natured especially when it come to taking the blow of reality comes slapping right in front of her face. But I see her glows when the glory of God manifest in her. Few year down the road, I want bring along what I have gotten from my mom and impact people's life. I want to go mission trips, help up in disaster relief work, offering my service to the under privileged. Meanwhile, I come realise something. Very often I witness my mom eagerness when it comes to lending a helping hand to those who needs her. But when she herself has issues of her own, she stays silent and keeps everything to herself. It's really saddening. Do all kind hearted and compassionate people have such tendencies? Only wanting to put others at ease but couldn't bother to find ease to themselves? Let me make a promise. From the day when semester 2 begun, I want to fulfil the simplest wish that every parent would make, which is to be seen everyday at the dinner table. The more I have the tendency to disappear from my hectic teenager life, the more I want to reassure my parents that they are not losing sight of me.

Moi: "Oh my God!"
God: "Yes, you called me?"
Moi: "Opps..."
