8th month.

these 8 months have been real for me. learnt alot of things, went through alot of difficulties and yeah, found the "thing" to fill the emptiness in my life. all the earthly things i can think of cannot fill the space and i think i am really blessed with the people i've met, the sufferings i went through and yeah, the company i have with Pa.

YESTERDAY: the worship team really did a great job! :) (2 thumbs up guys!) hmm, korkor's buddy received Him an hour before his WG and whooooooooo! the heaven IS rejoycing but i didn't manage to share how i felt tho. :) next timeeeeeeeeeee!! :):)

before WEB, i met up with Jabez and taught him some sec 1 math. he's a fast learner i tell you. haha! yupp. and i hope that he continues to have this spirit to learn when he's in secondary school! :)

after service, Grace invited me to her clubhouse for her mum's CG Christmas Party (or sumthing). the highlight of the party : THE FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!! hahahahhahahahahaha! yeah. actually, no lah. seriously speaking, i really enjoyed the fellowship i had with the webbers who were there : jerome, ian, asaph(who left super early 'cos he's a mama's boy), grace, zephy(who joined us after carolling), matthew and euphie (did i miss anyone out?). yupp. get to know them better and o mannnnnnnnn!!! they are a crazy bunch lah! hehh. to CALVIN : hmm... i think you need help with these bunch of kids. hehh! :P yupp! thank you Grace for inviting me! :) ouh and the "cheesecake" look-alike spoilt the night. hahaha! :P

TODAY : reached jiao tang at 8:45 'cos ng asked me to help out in JD, to play the guitar. i really want to... but, to be honest, i can't really play the guitar that well. neither can i sing that well. but then again, i think i'll try my best to serve Him in anyway i can la! yupp.

anyways...

i had to skip WG cos of JD. haha! but i still went for the last few minutes of WG tho! yupp. we shared about the WG and stuff like that and i think i am not the only 1 who feels like what the others felt about the WG. mm... yupp. i think WG is really imprtant 'cos, firstly, fellowship is essential to build up ones growth with the Lord. secondly, WG is a time where one can share personal or spiritual stuff with one another. who knows, a member of the WG has the same problem as another member and well, it's kinda easier to talk about it if the 2 (or more party) have the same opinion about something. (like what happened today!) yupp. glad that there are other members in my WG who really have the desire for the whole WG to come back together! :) i shall keep my WG in prayer. :)

after WG, the few of us had lunch at the yellow tables. then, the Bintan team had mission meeting. hurrr. they asked me to translate the instructions to 'bahasa' and i was like having trouble doing it... hahaha! i wish them all the best when they are there! hahaha! :P my malay is super 'teruk' and they want me to do it in 'bahasa indonesia'? hmm... wrong person. haha! :P and then i played soccer! whoooooooo!!! haha. i was a joke lah! but then. it was fun! yuppp...

hmm... in the later part if the afternoon, me and galvs attended a wake. sue's grandmother passed away yesterday. yupp. well, it was a great experience i must say. after the service, i felt as if i knw mrs. ng for all my life. hmm... i don't really know they feel 'cos i haven't really experience the death of my loved one. but i've been to a muslim funeral before. once. yupp and i tell you, there is a big difference between the two!

tonight, i was really touched by the testimonies given by the 'off-springs' of late mrs.ng. i teared 'cos i really felt as if i knew sue's granny since i was young. and i am happy too 'cos her sufferings have been ceased and now, she is safe and sound with Pa. the baton has now been passed down to the next generation, and i pray that the children of late mrs.ng will continue to press on in their walk with the Lord. she may not be physically there for them, but she will always be deep down in their hearts. death is a beginning of life. yup!

the differneces between a Christian wake and a Muslim funeral :

a year ago, my grand-uncle passed away as a muslim. i never knew the procedure to bury the body would be super tedious. i won't go any futher. hehh... in the end, everyone felt really remorsed. well, it's a natural feeling to be sad 'cos a loved one just left the earth. however, as i said above, "death is a beginning of life", clearly explains that we have to 'be happy' and 'celebrate' when someone dies because their prolonged sufferings have been ceased and they are now safe in the kingdom of God with God, singing and dancing joyfully. yupp. (that is, if one believes that there is such a thing as 'a kingdom of God'.) and that's was what i saw today in the Christian wake. eventhough, there were tears (we are humans :)), but i could tell, deep down, they were glad that late mrs.ng is now resting in the hands of the Creator. and one word sums up the difference between the two funeral... LOVE! and a verse too that can sum up what i experienced today!

...

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. yupp. let me explain how this relates to the differnece. *ahem*

"For God so loved the world" clearly states, HE LOVES HIS CREATIONS! that's me, and you! :):) yupp. and if you have been reading my blog, i've been saying "God = love". and late mrs.ng left behind a testimony of God's unconditional love for her loved ones!

"that he gave his one and only Son" mrs.ng didn't sacrifice her son. (:P) instead, she put the cross before herself and trust in the Lord. mrs.ng have been partially deaf since young. but she didn't give up her walk with her Pa. no she didn't! she gave her life to God, like how God gave His son to die for us.

"that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." late mrs.ng is a believer. and i joyfully thank God that she is now in His house, celebrating her 1st day of her eternal life. 2 Cor 5:8 "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." (NIV). she's really happy now. :)

LOVE. love seperates the 2 funerals. it's natural to feel sad and remorse about losing a loved one but to know that they are safe and sound in the house of God, takes a step of faith. one of the funeral, love wasn't really present. He is not in the picture. they are just afraid that the soul of the person might just enter the body again. however, the other, He is presnt. and the testimonies given by the family members shows the love mrs.ng gave them which also shows Jesus love for them and the rest of us. yupp. :) God was working in thier life all these while. and that's one thing i myself must know and truely understand...

i really thank God for the time He have given me these few days.. i can say i am there, but not there yet. hahahaha! (contradictary) hmm... yeah. i still have a long way to go! yupp. :)

8 months have been WORTHWHILE. 8th month will be WORTHWHILE. :) knowing Him is WORTHWHILE!

omg. better go sleep. haha! nights! :) BLESSED WEEK AHEAD!!! :):)
