To Forgive & To Forget

Will you be able to do so? Let’s forgive and forget. This sentence was uttered to a friend by a lady at the end of last year. Having sincerely apologizing for her misbehavior *with tears, hugs and words of wisdom, that friend told her that she is forgiven and shall forget what had happened. But, does the friend be able to do that? Hmmmm.. The friend said that she had forgiven the lady but the incident remains freshly intact in the friend's head. I wonder why? I believe every and each of us have gone through many of such experience.

I remember during one of the Sunday service I attended to, a Pastor said, to forgive, it has to come from the heart and only then you will be able to forget.

Could it be that the forgiveness was not sincere enough? But how to determine that? Is there a yardstick to measure the sincerity? The friend told me that the pain was unbearable, the lady's action was unthinkable and of course the friend was pissed off as she never expect such behavior from a lady who's about the same age of her mother.

I quote from Sunday Pearson:-

A long lost friend once said, time is the best medicine. In that case, lets time heal and seal the wound.

Brunei..

Quiet & peaceful

Early this year, Rhymee, Suz & I had 2 days trip to Brunei to attend to a friend's wedding. Suz & I took a ride with Rhymee since he is the only person amongst us all who knew the place better. It was an amazing trip and hilarious too.

We made a stop at The Empire Hotel & Country Club and snapped tons on pics. It was a beautiful and luxurious place to stay.

We were so lucky as the next day happened to be the Independent Day for Brunei. Before checking out, we headed to Bandar Seri Begawan (Rhymee, correct me if I'm wrong..lol) where the celebration was scheduled. We joined the crowd only for 1 hour as we have to rush back to hotel to check out before 1pm.

The sky wasn't in the mood of celebration tho'.. :p

Suz & I joined the crowd..

Most of all, it wouldn't be perfect without burning some cash... *Rhymee...should we be looking forward for another trip somewhere..someday....:)

2 souls becoming 1

Is that how you define a marriage? I am yet to figure that out. Last weekend, another sweet couple tied their love with sacred vows..."till death do us apart". Sacred it is. They started the relationship since high school and hopefully it will last with joys and happiness.

Man, writing is tough. I have to admit it. This is totally different than writing a submission or any legal documentation. As for now, I have to sign off to figure out other issue for tomorrow. *phewwwww

The beginning...

Hi all. I'm new. We'll see how far I can go with this blog. Rhymee got me inspired by his so, I'll give it a shot too. Till then.
