I woke up feeling extremely grateful, and I think in the past week I’ve felt the guiding hands of God for sure, but the people that have been nudging me, or pulling me along.
I am extremely thankful for my Temasek Polytechnic friends – lectures, seniors, friends, juniors, and basically the whole group that pulled through together over the years. I have no idea how or why anyone would stick with me through my years of being a horrible human being, but everyone was really too kind. Maybe not, but at least to me, I felt and still feel comfortable asking for help. It’s such a journey to go through life with creative people, and I truly cherish my years with them.
All the art and creative people sprinkled into my life. They truly colored the whole landscape of the world for me. And a lot of the times, I just hope I was colorful enough to add color into their lives too. Thank you for being there, and for being willing to share your life with me.
The Perfume fan group honestly was a very interesting part of my life, and it’s a group I still enjoy catching up with every now and then. I guess in many ways we’ve grown up and hopefully not past Perfume, and I guess we had connected then because we saw life different from everyone else’s paths. It’s great to see everyone stabilizing in life one way or another.
I’m thankful for the Christian groups I walked with over the past years. It was amazing getting to meet other like minded people, and to be spurred on to do more in my Christian ministry and in life. I think my church groups had played a huge part of forming a space for community, and I wish it could be shared with even more people.
My parents for sure: I don’t think I could ever ask for a better set of parents, and many people enjoy finding my parents to be their guiding posts too. I know I’m the person I am today because they let me be at the right times, and they pulled me back at the right times. That takes a lot of careful consideration, and I hope to learn it well for my own child.
My Wife!! who has been the most patient over our 5 years of marriage so far. I’ve learnt a lot about grace and patience, and also about how to work on impulses at different times. Creatively, Clarice also has been really impactful on how I consider a direction or approach. If you see my artwork becoming more clear, usually Clarice is assisting with some comments there.
What a strange post to come out of me today. I just felt the need to really write some thanks out. Maybe one day I would write my own “Boy” like how Roald Dahl did.
