''Stirred''

''I asked and I was given.''
How do you feel when you do something out of a norm?
When nobody seems to care about that particular person and there you go,doing something for that someone.
I was in Khaleel (a typical Malaysian place where they sell all kinds of food-we call it 'Mamak' here).There was this old man asking for money.He said he wanted to buy a drink.My heart sore.I wanted to give him money as I took out my purse but one of my juniors said 'You can buy bread for him.''.I asked him whether he wanted a drink and the type of drink he wanted.He said 'Ice Tea''.I ordered for him.I gave to him personally as to show my sincerity.
Do you know what happened?
After he finished his drink,he said,'Jie jie,thank you for the drink.I am from !@£$% hospital.''.I smiled to him.I realised that he couldn't even utter those words properly.I was so sad that I held my tears.I saw his hand,it was physical deteriorated.He was older than me but he did not have the ability to distinguish.I was sympathetic.
Then I realised.
In church today,I asked God to grow in Him for his gift upon me.To use me to help the poor and needy.To have His heart.And He gave me one.It was great to feel(and sad as it was heart-wrenching) what He feels on the poor and needy.It was amazing that I had a chance to exhibit His love.I pray that I will continue to shine for him and to help the poor and needy.It is a great joy to serve the poor and needy.=)
Prov. 14:31 Anyone who oppresses the poor is insulting God who made them. To help the poor is to honor God.
Prov. 22:9 Happy is the generous man, the one who feeds the poor.

A question.

Today someone asked me, "Do u ever wish that you could see your dad?".I told him, "It's not possible.".He replied "It's not about you could see or not,but would you want to see if you have a chance?".
It have been a long time.
Since one asked details about him.Sometimes,I think I forgot him on a purpose because I don't want to feel sad over him.Sometimes,I think I shunned it away by laughing.I am kinda good at it after 8years.It's just I am not used being weak and emotional over something.
It have been a long time.
I was young to know everything but old enough to know the feeling of someone close to you died.I remembered writing under my study table, ''Why did you go away without a proper goodbye?Why would you just leave just like that?Can you appear in front of me one more time at least,I beg you?''.I remembered I pretended to be strong during the funeral procession.After seeing his body being cremated,I went back home holding his picture and cried my heart out.
It have been a long time.
Losing someone non-expectantly was not easy.I bought a cake for him with all my savings after a month he died to celebrate his 40th birthday.The answer to that question was partially 'Yes' and 'No'.'Yes' because it had been a long time since I saw him.'No' because it is better that way.
It have been a long time.
He taught me English.He asked me to accompany him to watch football when I was 12.He jogged with us.We danced in the living room.He lied to me telling me that he would buy for me the toys I wanted.He cooked for us.He hid at the dark corner just to terrify us when we watched X-file.He took care when I was sick.He told me to study hard.His final words were, ''Take care of this family.''(But I couldn't understand that at that point of time.)
It have been a long time.
But I had a dad.I am grateful God put a dad in my life.Because I know I had a wonderful loving dad who loves his family.Till the day he died,he never fail to fulfill his responsibilities.Appreciate the one who is alive now.
It have been a long time.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for putting a loving and marvellous dad in my life.Though he is gone and I don't know where is he.But I know you are watching out for me.You are going to be here for me thru the ups and downs.Thank you,Lord.For watching out my family too.I love you,Lord.Your love for me is deeper than ocean and yet indescribable.In Jesus Name,Amen.

Haven't been updating this lovely and awesome blog.;)Had been eating much that I felt I gained some kilograms.*Oh No*.Life had been treating me so sweet that I've learnt so much.O,I felt God's presence and love flourished over me.
Even though,I am taking 26units this semester but I am not that busy as last semester.It is good.God also gave me a friendly roomie.Everything is good.Yehhhh.
My favourite quote that I've learnt;
''If you are forgiven much,you're loved much''
An update on my university life.Recently,I have a church friend whom I just knew when I volunteered myself to play percussion in 'Hatter's night'.His name is Desmond Keoh.He was the drummer with Audrey on Conga whereas Miyeko,Chien and me were playing ''I-dont-know-what-it-is-called'' instruments.At first,Desmond wasn't talking much but gradually as time passed,he revealed his true colours-----he is actually a funny and warm guy.The best and weird thing was having McD with the church members(as campus Epcc-ians don't normally mix with the youths from EPCC.
However,we managed to break that norm.Therefore,besides jazzband,PKA..I have another category of friends---Church friends(desmond and samuel,actually).I am actually encouraged by their friendliness and authentic relationship they had establish with us.Although I knew Desmond for a week(till today),but it seems like all of us can lavish ourselves easily with each other.
Thank,Lord for amazing friends like them that can support us from church.
