Whispering Hope

Soft as the voice of an angel,
Breathing a lesson unheard,
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers her comforting word:
Wait till the darkness is over,
Wait till the tempest is done,
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow,
After the shower is gone.

If, in the dusk of the twilight,
Dim be the region afar,
Will not the deepening darkness
Brighten the glimmering star?
Then when the night is upon us,
Why should the heart sink away?
When the dark midnight is over,
Watch for the breaking of day.

Hope, as an anchor so steadfast,
Rends the dark veil for the soul,
Whither the Master has entered,
Robbing the grave of its goal.
Come then, O come, glad fruition,
Come to my sad weary heart;
Come, O Thou blest hope of glory,
Never, O never depart.

We actually can whisper hope. This song has been echoing in my head everywhere I go. In bus, car, MRT... (Basically in moving transport, remarkable issues always come into my head.) And I'll whistle or hum unconsciously, until heads start turning towards my direction - I'll reluctantly stop. Last time was oldies. Improvement! Isn't it?

I was amazed by Citi Bank's advertisement:

Everynight when you sleep...
Dreams never sleep.
Visions never sleep.
Aspirations never sleep.
Goals never sleep.
Hopes never sleep.
Opportunities never sleep.
That's why Citi never sleeps.

It has been sometime since I last updated my life. To you, that is -..- I actually cannot really recall what happened from my last emo-post. Maybe I've graduated and found a job? Attended I fulfilling church camp? Heguo and family came and went? Dad lost his hp? Errr, or maybe is mum and I lost HIS hp... Met some friends? (But still haven't meet SY!!! Kill me.) Maybe also did some clay dolls LQ taught the other time? And burnt some. T..T Oh ya, did the Centre's noticeboard? Maybe I watched the amazing handiwork of C. S Lewis - Chornicles of Narnia: Prince Caspain = simply... "Whaaao". Also Made of Honor = LOUSY! Also Speed racer = SO-SO. Iron Man = Fantastic!

Nevertheless, life is pretty much the same. Nothing very special - It is interesting enough. Nothing especially fulfilling - It is fulfilling enough. Nothing highly valued - Every event is valued. Nothing extremely exciting - Opportunities never sleep, remember?

Life didn't have to be accelerating to be improving.
Just like hope doesn't have to be shouted.
In fact, the opposite is true.
