Untitled #5

The name is Shi Jian(means: wait upon a sword). Not many parents would name their daughter Shi Jian. Not many parents would expect their daughter to 'wait upon a sword' after all. But she has no parent.

The name was given by her master, so was the life. Ever since she was a baby, she was with the master. Ever since she was a little girl, she has learned to wait. She would wait upon her young master, Leng Jian (means: cold sword), who was few years older. She would follow him whereever he go. She would tend to his every need. She would wait upon him no matter what.

The young master would grow into the most fearful swordsman in the realm. Shadow of death and scent of blood followed him day and night. He would go into places even beasts wouldn't dare to invade. So would Shi Jian.

The sheath's existence is determined by the sword it envelops. Without the sword, it's just an empty sheath. The sheath takes pride from the type of sword it contains. Leng Jian is definitely not an ordinary sword. Leng Jian is probably the coldest and most lethal sword around. Any women would be dying to be the sword's sheath. Yet Leng Jian is the type of sword that can only be contained inside one type of sheath.

Shi Jian is certainly not an ordinary sheath either. The coldest sword in the world would turn warm whenever it returns to this sheath. And when it's time for the sword to be unsheathed.. Shi Jian would not ask a thing. She would not know where Leng Jian would go and she would not know when Leng Jian would return. But she knows that she only has to wait.

Is this ignorance? No.. this is trust.

No one in the realm dare to doubt Leng Jian's sword. But only one person in the world dare to trust Leng Jian's heart. Naturally a sheath trusts its sword.

Leng Jian will never fail to return as long as Shi Jian is waiting. Leng Jian knows Shi Jian will be there. Even the coldest sword would trust its sheath.

*the name Shi Jian is purely 'stolen' from Jin Yong's novel.

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'

Ichi Rittoru no Namida

As Aya's condition gradually worsen, she could no longer walk or stand anymore. She would sometimes choke when she eat and she struggled to speak. There was only one thing that she could do, albeit which much difficulty. She could still write. One day her mum visited her at the hospital and seeing her struggling hard to write her diary, her mum asked her to rest. But she said.. "Okaasan.. you said that I can still write right? That's the only thing that I could still do. I have to write what I have in mind now because that is the only prove that I am living today." Even when she could hardly hold her crayon, she would still write her diary. I do not know whether the movie followed the true diary content but in the movie.. Despite the diary began with her questioning why she had to be the one to suffer from this cruel disease, it sweetly ended with a word: "Arigatou". Thanking her parents and siblings for being there right to the end, thanking her friends for...
