me....

There's been a death in the opposite house
As lately as today.
I know it by the numb look
Such houses have always.

The neighbours rustle in and out,
The doctor drives away.
A window opens like a pod,
Abrupt, mechanically;

Somebody flings a mattress out, -
The children hurry by;
They wonder if It died on that, -
I used to when a boy.

The minister goes stiffly in
As if the house were his,
And he owned all the mourners now,
And little boys besides;

And then the milliner, and the man
Of the appalling trade,
To take the measure of the house.
There'll be that dark parade

Of tassels and of coaches soon;
It's easy as a sign, -
The intuition of the news
In just a country town.

This reminds me of some things.

One more thing,

To my Dad.

Happy Father's Day.

A little more

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I was in Singapore last week.

I was there to visit my sick cousin-in-law in Woodlands.He is married to my cousin and was diagnosed with a brain tumor just after Chinese New Year.He works for the Republic of Singapore Navy.The doctors say that they cannot operate due to the tumor's dangerous position, which is right on top of the spinal cord.If they do he will be paralyzed from neck down.

But one thing that disgusted me is the way his own family has treated him.His mother is forcing him to sell his car and his house so that they can hire a maid to take care of him (the mother wants him to move back to her house).If he didn't do so, the family will not take care of him.

How can a mother treat her own dying son like this??What kind of mother is that??

He refused to sell the house because my cousin would have no place to stay if he died.And they needed the car just in case of an emergency.

As a result of his decision, his own family dumped him just like that.Just like that!!

My God.

He is currently in ICU at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. He injured himself while trying to turn on the TV in his home last Friday evening.

Pls pray for Him.He hasn't known who Jesus is yet.

Singapore

I just came back from my Singapore trip today.

Man....I was impressed with the changes that the Singaporeans did to their country since the last time I went there.

Singaporeans are the masters of the planners.Some of the MRT Stations that I passed while travelling on the MRT won't open for another 7 years.Very good planning isn't it(not like Malaysia)??

Some of the things I did while doing my sightseeing there:
1) Bought an Ipod (at a very cheap price too....compared to KL)
2) Visited Orchard Road
3) Had dinner with my relatives
4) Visited the Singapore Science Centre
AND
5) Spent one whole day praying and talking to God in Jurong East

Yea...I took the MRT from Boon Keng station to Jurong East (which took more than one hour) to do just that.Ps. Edmund Chan's challenge.Fulfilled it.It was really refreshing time spent with Him.And I want to do it again.:)

I enjoyed my trip. =)

Be a Witness

Ok.

Just a little ramble from me before I sleep.Yesterday my cousin Wei Cheng called from Melbourne,Australia.

We talked,talked and talked on the phone for almost 30 minutes.Things like what I've been doing and all that stuff. I then realized that I've got a lot of catching up to do with him!Well,we're not that close to each other.

Since I've just finished New Life, was wondering if I should share about Christ with Him.He's not a Christian.I have always wanted to call him in Melbourne but he called me instead....

To be continued......so stay tuned because I've got to go now.....=)

Tough situations is God's blessing...

Today is the day that I am waiting for.

I finally finished my report on my internship that I did earlier this year.

The painful grief of losing my grandad is also finally gone. I still miss him, and always will.But God has finally taken it away.

I knew that He will not tempt me beyond what I can bear.

The day I have been waiting for more than one year is finally here.

I thank God for his Healing and His promises. =)

New Life

I went for New Life yesterday.The final session.It was good!!

We were taught on how to share the gospel and how to be a witness for God.

Well, I thought this is a good example.





























It was the Champions League final between AC Milan and Liverpool; the biggest football club championship in the world. It was watched by a television audience of hundreds of millions.

The man on his knees is Kaka, a Brazilian who plays for Milan; he's also widely acknowledged to be one of the best players in the world. Kaka is a Christian, and is known for being a very committed one. At the final whistle he took off his team shirt and spent the rest of the celebrations (Milan won) sporting this T shirt.

Such a short and simple way to reach out to so many people, isn't it?Who says it's difficult to do that?

"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes" - Romans 1:16 (NIV)
