When reached there, i has met 2 new friends whom just join us for Y-Reading. We have shared with each other some ours experience. They have shared with me about their experience in vietnam. They went there to gave some leasson to the children approximate 3 weeks. That was great experience to them.

Althought, this was my 2nd time to join Y-Reading but it's touching when knew some of them still remember me. As usual, the program has started with the ice-breaking game. Beneficiaries were so enjoyed while play the games. After that we procceded to the reading session. Today they have prepared 2 reading material for beneficiaries for study. I'm very enjoying to help one of the beneficiary while reading. It was help me to exercise my bahasa melayu and to litter bit of translation the beneficiary because she is malay. However, we didn't completed the 2nd reading material, we have started chit chat with another beneficiary. Lolz.. I did some "interview" (means chit chat la) with them to get to know them better. During the refreshment, some of beneficiary was playing UNO card. That was fun while saw them play.

It was sad when sent uncle Kek, his last journey. Some of my ex-colleagues and i was reached uncle Kek's ware around 8.30am. When reached there, i had short conversion with Mrs Kek. After that she went to coffin there with her daugther to talk with uncle Kek. It was heart pain when saw her cried while stand beside uncle Kek's coffin. Speak the truth, it was hard time for her. Before proceeded to mandai Crematorium & Clumbarium complex, we all have went near to coffin and saw uncle Kek last face. At the time, i was apologized to uncle Kek for what i did to him. After the service at Mandai Crematorium & Columbarium Complex, we all proceeded to the view hall. Most of us were cried while saw uncle Kek's coffin sent for cremation.In my heart, i was praying for uncle Kek's family and him. After the ceremony, i had rushed back to office after back to sembawang.

When reached office, i was straight away to attend make up course whereas organised by my company. I did benefit a lot from the course and win a SPA voucher ^^ Frank speaking, my emotion yet to settle down and no mood to work. So i had leave office 6.30pm and heading to adult CG meeting at nexus. Tonight adult CG meeting was totally different with previous, we have watched movie, "flywheel".





This was nice movie cause me to think deeply about goodness of God. How much faith i had put trust in Him? Am i limited God's power? Doesn't mean God can bring through every area of my life if i allow Him to do so? As what Pastor Jeff had mention earlier, word of God was fundamental to us. Word of God is encouragement/promises/love letter from God to us. Without it, how do we to understand about God and his love for us?

Uncle Kek has leave peacefully.

It's very sad when saw uncle Kek's last face at his wake this evening. In deep of my heart, i was crying. He was totally look different, he so slim. Guess he may suffered alot. But, praise the Lord, he has received salvation. I was so suprised when i noticed that this was christian funeral. There had reminder me that my care group and i prayed for salvation in few years back. Really thanks God for His answer our prayer. I still remember clearly, we have talked about christianity. I shared with him the gospel and praying for him together with his wife and one of his wife sister during the time he went for heart bypass operation. That's amazing how God's work.

As his wife has said, "it's released to him, but is hard for her". Mrs Kek is very strong woman. She had shared with some about Uncle Kek's thing. Althought, both of them are old, but they still love each other and care each other very much.

I'm thinking to send uncle Kek his last journey on friday morning. Really pray that my manager will approval my leave.

God, may your word be encouragement and comfort to Uncle Kek's family. Amen.

This evening received sms from Jenny, she had wrote "Pls be inform that Mr Kek has passed away this morning! The wake will held..." I was shocked when received the sms, suddenly my mind become empty. I quickly called her and checked with her more detail. After talk with Jenny, i was feel regret. You may wonder why?

I had met Uncle Kek from my ex-company. He is nice person, but only thing no good is his temper. He treat me like his daughter, so most my colleagues always said he is my godfather. He always will buy nice food and chocalate for me. Sometime we qurrelled about work issue, but after awhile we talk with each other like nothing happen before. 2 years ago, he went for heart bypass operation. The operation consider quite danger for him in his age (uncle Kek was 60 years old + when i knew him). However, he was having positive attitude before went for operation.

Haiz, things happen before few months i leave my ex company. We have quite serious qurrelled. From the day onwards, we didn't talk with each others. Always get my colleague pass the message. Frank speaking, i feel like want to talk with him sometime but because my pride, haiz.. But now, i don't any chance talk with him and apologize to him le.

I'm sorry, uncle Kek. May you rest in peace!

Today met up v Tricia for shepherding, she had shared with me the teaching which has taught by Desmond on last thursday unit meeting.

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.

Just so simple verse can be divide into five characteristies of God's love:

1) God's love is unconditional
".. so loved the world.."
2) God's love is sacrificed
".. that he gave.."
3) God's love is valuable & personal
".. his one and only Son, .."
4) God's love is accessible to all
".. that whoever believes in Him.."
5) God's love is beneficial
".. shall not perish but have eternal life."

This verse was so familiar to us, but many of us may unintentionally forgot the meaning of this verse. After Tricia shared with me about the teaching, it was help me be more understand the verse better.


=======================================================

Last night I had work till 2am, it didn't happened in past few years of my working life before. Althought i was quite tired, but i was enjoying chat chit with colleague while helping her do work. She had transfer to my department a week ago, it might be tough for her because her work like a small hill, work late and less time with her children. But, she always had positive attitude toward every thing. She is very strong woman, i had never met before. She also very nice friend and colleague to work with. Jia you, Joe!

Last nite, we have talk about selfishness. Selfishness is common attitude which everyone will have. I admit do have lo. Most of time, we have think about or concern too much what we want and not about what about other people want. Perhaps, we might question like "this is no our business,why should we get involve?", "Haiya, i so busy, why come to disturb me?" I was thinking, is it most of people think that it is right to get help from other instead help other??? Or, they have use to it take advantage on other ???

That also same thing happen in my walk with God. I had realized that God did blessed me alot in my life, but i was take advantage on it. However, God is faithful God. He had help me to experienced and learn to overcome this area of my life.

God, thank you for Your faithfulness and grace for me. May You keep continue help overcome this area of my life. Amen.

God, may you have mercy on Thailand. May Your protection fall upon those needys. The currect situation in Bangkok had been declared a state of emergency by the Thailand's prime minister. God, can you calm Thai people down with Your love & peace? Less people will be injury or hurt in the currect situation. God, i pray that the currect situation in Bangkok will be resolve soon.

God, i thank you in advance for your protection & mercy on Thai people. Amen.

copy from BBC news (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7592942.stm)
Thailand's Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej has declared a state of emergency in the capital Bangkok, after clashes left at least one person dead.
Dozens more were hurt in the worst violence seen in Bangkok for 16 years.
Mr Samak said he had "no choice" but to impose the measure in order to end the week-old revolt by supporters of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD).
But the army commander has promised that his men will not use force to disperse the protesters.
Separately, in a fresh blow to the government, the Thai election commission recommended that Mr Samak's People Power Party be disbanded over claims of vote-buying in elections last December.
The recommendation will not lead to immediate action against the party, as it must now be considered by the public prosecutor's office, but correspondents say it piles further pressure on Mr Samak's government.

If the prosecutor submits the case to the Constitutional Court and the ruling is upheld, Mr Samak and other top party leaders would be banned from politics for five years.
PAD supporters say the government is a front for Thaksin Shinawatra - the former prime minister, now in exile, whom the PAD was instrumental in removing in a coup in 2006.
The PAD has a passionate following in various parts of the country, especially Bangkok, and some powerful backers among the elite.
But it has little support in most of rural Thailand, which voted strongly for Prime Minister Samak, and Mr Thaksin before him.

Yoyo, i'm back for blogging after a year. This past one year had been thru up n down period, but all over already. Now, it is time to look forward instead of look back. Recently, was be volunteer for YMCA. Really thanks God for this opportunity and i able to move out from my comfort zone to learn how to love n care for needs. Althought just spend few hours with beneficiaries, i did learned something from them, "simple". Just simple thing like chat chit with them, accompany them etc, they really appreciate it. Sometime, we should satisfied what we have, not what we don't have.

God, may you teach me to love other as Your love them.
