It is interesting and still quite puzzling to me why one would say a tooth grow in instead of grow out when a tooth comes out from the gum.
And why would one says fill out a form, instead of fill in a form. But then they would say fill in the blank space, and not fill out the blank space, even though the space to be filled in is on the form to be filled out.

It’s been three weeks since my buddy in SA passed away, and I am still feeling it. Although I haven’t seen him since last December in HK, I still feel his presence, I still expect him to come pick me up from the airport when I fly back to SA next year.
2008 has been a year of drama, with movie-plot-style twists, and surprises. I matured. I gained new friendships, bettered or worsened old relationships, experienced friends’ deaths, witnessed marriages, opened myself to different perspectives, sought and strengthened in the Truth.

Ken, you will always be my broer, you have made an impact in my life, a positive one.
