overlooked.

that's how i often felt with i'm with friends that are popular, friendly and fun. but i thank god that the bitterness that i used to have when i was in sec sch is gone. i no longer have to strive so hard to gain attention, knowing that God has His eyes fixed on me; watching me grow. growing up being shadowed by friends is definately hard, the unsuccessful attempts to gain a second look from people had left me with nothing but disappointments. indeed, relationship precedes ministry. but so what? i don't want to be a hypocrite, i don't want to be a person who is likable but possess no substance. i fight. not to win the attention of people, nor the assurance of friends. but i fight to be real, to be someone God has created me to be. i may seem boring, silent, and uninteresting. and that's what u think. :)

eileen is eileen. she may seem silent, but she was never silent.
being unheard is painful, so i promise, i will hear.

eileen, you have a bigger place in my heart than you think you do. sometimes being unheard is frustrating, i've been through times when i'm unheard, but then that means you hear more and you understand more and you know more. and that makes you a cut above those who only yak without thinking. love you!!!

Eileen!!
U really don't say much.. but when you're at a meeting, you often add colour and joy to things by listening and laughing along.. Also.. whatever u say(when u do) is really wise =)

Gotta learn from u... Being our true in a world full of people's opinions and judgement is sometimes difficult.. But it's living in truth!!
Jiayou!
