Peace & Calm returns to Lot 10...

Sun 081109

Yup, finally the latest "Tsunami" that ravaged Lot 10 had fizzled itself out. Peace, calm & serenity now reigns within Lot 10. A huge relief for both inmates. Tired, worn out for the ordeal but SAFE! Thank God for his blessings!

And yup, this final episode hopefully signals the end of a long saga...a saga of bad that kept on raising its ugly head with increasing frequency until the last "Tsunami" that reached immense proportions...it's a wonder Lot 10 inmates could withstand all the onslaught & heavy battering. This is proof of how strong the bond is that's between both inmates...more than 40 years strong!

And yup, we're not gonna let anything...for that matter, anyone...same blood or otherwise...come & split us up! Nope. No way, man! We both started as 2...and we will remain as 2! Until of course the day when 1 of us has to go...

And yup, there is now finality. Because that "S" failed his final test. A test to determine if there is any more love, etc., etc., left in his heart. There was NONE ...none whatsoever! Even my other half had to admit so.

And yup, this time around, my other half had a truly clear vision...she had been in denial all this while. Moreover, she was torn between herself as a mother & as a wife. She was practically lost. Thanks to God's help & loving guidance, she can now see through the haze that clouded her mind, namely the truth.

And hopefully, this time around, after seeing the light at the end of this long dark tunnel, our bond (as both husband & wife and as parents) will last & become a permanent feature so that both of us can now walk down the remainder of Life's road together, hand in hand, as we've always done ie before this ugly episode, brought along by a heartless, unappreciative & disrespectful we-not-know-who-anymore...

So, do pls be happy for us...both inmates of Lot 10...and wish us well esp happiness in our new road ahead & life together as one! Thank you...and may an episode like ours never ever be yours to face. Amen.

ps. It's been more than 20 long months of God knows what...we are indeed thankful & grateful that it has come to a good ending for Lot 10. Hopefully, the bond, that was at risk, would soon heal well & become even stronger than before. With God's help, me feel that it will be a fact soon...

pps. There was no COD due to that "Tsunami". We will have a better, happier one come next Saturday...no worries!

An update to Reflections into the past - The long frustrating and unrewarding road of a loving father :

An interesting tale that was inadvertently left out, quite a late incident of how a loving father had to step in so that his son could stand up tall & would be respected...here goes :

At one point in his career, in his improving position & status, that "S" had to attend a special dinner. As he had nothing to wear that was suitable & appropriate to the occasion, we went to a Mall to search for such a shirt.

That "S" saw one that he felt was suitable and that he himself really liked. However, strong objections came from his other half! She, instead, insisted that he got something else of her choosing (of much lower quality & cost...not to say they could not afford) but which that "S" felt did not fit the theme nor to his liking.

On consultation with my other half, it was then felt that we had to step in (we had a philosophy not to interfere in that "S"'s family matters) but this situation turned into something beyond understanding. Also, me am not so loaded either. But when that "S"'s well-being, standing & respect by others in his line of work was at stake, what could loving parents do? Close our eyes and walk away? YOU tell me...would you?

So this ole man told that "S" that his ole dad would buy for him the one which he had found suitable & that he also liked. The one that his other half had flatly refused to entertain.

And it was only then, yup...only then, that his other half (who was so reluctant to agree to buy for him all that while) agreed. Can you guess why? Your guess....

Well, that's the final & hopefully the last incident (there are many many more...hehe...) that me would ever have to relate in this Blog. Me am closing the book on that ugly episode and that "S".

PEACE.
