About the Author
At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as
Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love.
Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

I learnt alot of things yesterday.
How often is it that we patronise, give false hope, grudging acceptance, but once the chance is there, we bail out. Its hardest to be direct when we actually need to be direct. A simple "no", a simple "hey, enough". It seems the hardest thing to do. What we think we are preventing is what we're allowing to happen. Its terrible how sad it is to try to put on a happy front and leave solving the problem to the next time, that is, if there even is an opportunity to re-live such great times.
I also learnt (see post below), that you cannot be insensitive to one entity when showing concern to another. Why is it, that we concentrate so much, focusing our concerns on our luxury while neglecting our necessities? I've come to understand that it is of utmost importance to not take anything for granted. Especially the constant, because in an equation, if you focus excessively on the variable while not considering the constant in place, the equation will produce mistakes. Big ones.
Another thing that I've come to realise, is that sometimes, I lose. I win plenty, but sometimes, I lose. When everything's at an equal distance from the end though, maybe its not such a bad idea that I choose to lose, drop a few paces. I'll lose because I can, I'll lose because I know I can catch up, overtake, pace myself at will. I'll lose because I know when others need to win.
Yeah, yesterday was an emotional roller-coaster.

This was the day the Lord has made.
