Dear Zhi Ai,

It seems like I've never been able to call you, chit-chat with you much on MSN now. The both of us are leading pretty different lives right now, but one thing that remains constant is God in our lives.

Girl, I wanna reaffirm you that you are special. No matter what other people say, you are really unique. I thank you for the hours and the hard work you have put into the COGS youth, for taking up that leadership role when people like *cough*me*cough* can't. Thank you for all the funny laughter and tears we shared together since Sunday School. Thank you for all the little encouragement cards you have given me, especially when I'm feeling the most stressed and down during the O'levels and in situations before that as well. Thank you for RPG-ing together with me for the past 2 years. Thank you for brainstorming with me, and the anime-ing, and the worshipping sessions, and etc.

There are countless things I want to thank you for, but what I appreciate the most is your love and friendship. Your golden heart. You may think you're not, but somehow you just don't realise it. Your givings have impacted me, so DO NOT ever think that it was in vain.

Whenever I feel down, and I browse through my bible, I always see your cards sticking out and I start to read them. Over and over again they have given me strength and the knowledge that I have such a good friend.

I came back from cell group discussion and we were talking about Joy and Peace. It reminded me of you, and your nickname as "Joyful". My darling Aiai, something I learnt from there is that Joyfulness may not be equal to having Happiness. Joy comes from the Lord, it is absolute. But Happiness is relative, and it may be derived from bad things done. Yet Joy comes in bad or good situations, and with this joy comes the peace of God. This will give you the endurance to pass through your semesters, and the ups and downs in life. Be it good or bad, you will find yourself able to praise God's goodness and overflowing mercy/grace/love.

Jesus loves you. He will never abandon or forsake you.

You don't have to force yourself to smile in order to feel joyful. Sometimes that may even backfire. Just yearn for his presence, have FAITH, and remember that you are worthy because Jesus has cleansed your sins. You are the apple of God's eyes.

Someone told me this before, "Never put your assurance in mankind, Put your assurance in God. For that is what matters."

I guess you can guess who told me that. Even though that person threw me into a month of depression, the words are still quite profound.

So here I end this letter, with the words...
I LOVE YOU!!!

Yours lovingly,
Nettey

PS: You wonder why people rush into the MRT first even before people come out...answer is...this big word called "KIASU and KIASI!" Don't want to get caught in the door, want to go to places fast, etc...lol...

PS2: Check out a friend's blog, it's on my links. Eddie. In his omnibus you will find an entry of m'sians and singaporeans. You'll find that really amusing...

PS3: I LOVE YOU!
