it pumps despite our efforts to stop it, but in some people it stops despite our efforts to revive it. and then they're dead. yes, kaput. the heart - at only the size of your fist, circulates blood throughout your whole being with just one contraction. so fast that the "dub-dub, dub-dub" sound is so natural that we sometimes don't even notice it. yet if there's a 3rd "dub" sound = "dub dub dub", uh oh you're in danger. if it gets a bit crazy and "flutters", that means trouble as well, cuz you're gonna collapse from the lack of oxygen pretty soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yet it is a witness to love in the silences when words are not enough. it never fails to quicken when you're in adoration. with every beat, it is an overflow of a greater love. THE greater love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;will you give every beat of this masterpiece back to Him who pieced it together in the first place? will you make every beat count?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;"above all else, guard your heart, for it is the well-spring of life.&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;prov 4:23&lt;/span&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8995347341539374019-69625674896627142?l=ivietan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivietan.blogspot.com/feeds/69625674896627142/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8995347341539374019&amp;postID=69625674896627142' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8995347341539374019/posts/default/69625674896627142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8995347341539374019/posts/default/69625674896627142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivietan.blogspot.com/2008/04/testify-to-love.html' title='Testify to Love'/><author><name>Ivie Tan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09631873041654617912</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06024534529245726974'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995347341539374019.post-5518035860010563535</id><published>2008-04-07T22:23:00.003+10:00</published><updated>2008-04-07T23:02:25.049+10:00</updated><title type='text'>A boy..</title><content type='html'>..deep dark brown eyes. tanned unwrinkled skin. happy feet that danced at any given chance. mouth curved upwards, ever-ready for a smile..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that was what greeted me at my first day at "work", if i can call it such. a handsome cheery 2-year-old chap. he may be "mildly autistic", but i overruled that diagnosis in my heart the moment i laid eyes on him.

(hehe sorry!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we cooked chicken curry for dinner for the committee after that.. our first meeting of the year - fantastic! what can i say, when God is there, He works wonders. dead-ends turn into greater possibilities, all glory be to Him! =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so.. being "Reunited".. witnessing friends coming back one by one.. trips to the airport.. random lunches and dinners and suppers together.. it's incredible.. and for all these, i am forever grateful.. =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;*if 3 months can do this to someone, imagine the extremely glorious Reunion.. after the wait of a lifetime. let's wait with an even greater anticipation of being "Reunited" - with our One and Only Love - someday.*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8995347341539374019-4863218234474633018?l=ivietan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ivietan.blogspot.com/feeds/4863218234474633018/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8995347341539374019&amp;postID=4863218234474633018' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8995347341539374019/posts/default/4863218234474633018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8995347341539374019/posts/default/4863218234474633018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ivietan.blogspot.com/2008/02/reunited.html' title='Reunited'/><author><name>Ivie Tan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09631873041654617912</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06024534529245726974'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nms0tJ-tzFQ/R8AiI6TjQ1I/AAAAAAAABZ4/WEQKoxw9TTI/s72-c/n825772891_568644_3082.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995347341539374019.post-5199383794947010978</id><published>2008-02-02T07:03:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2008-02-02T07:41:32.646+11:00</updated><title type='text'>..Heartfelt tribute..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the first time we met&lt;/span&gt;, i honestly can't remember how. over the span of a year and a half, there were ridiculous physics classes, a dozen freak tests and presentations, grammy-standard talent nites (she was Lindsay Lohan from freaky friday), a spectacular prom nite, sweat-drenching uni interviews, and of course the dreaded TEE final exams. together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the last time we met&lt;/span&gt;
