Of Fingers and Numbers

If i had typed anything last Saturday night, my right thumb would hurt a lot. Reason being was i was holding power tools, an electric drill in particular, a lot during the day. What was i doing?

I was helping out the church's children pastor, Pastor Danny, to 'build' several masts for the upcoming Vacation Bible School, VBS for short, in mid-June.

Themed High-Sea Expedition, this 4-day camp would expect over 100 kids would be having fun, while learning God's Word through exciting activities. I would be part of the Games Station crew, and VBS'll be a splashing good time!

And with this, i had to take a few days off to commit, and i realised, i have less than a week's worth of leaves until the year ends.

Honestly, no one is to be blamed here. I took many days off for Chinese New Year as well as the church mission trip in February and March respectively. Only i am responsible for this pickle.

And my (leave) days are numbered indeed, leaving me a few days off for the rest of the year, and i might come down to KL, maybe once or twice this year. One of them will be for Kevan and Angeline's wedding in July.

Not to mention i would want to take leave for Church camp and Christmas as well. *sigh*

I treasure my leave days, very much. Hopefully, i would be wiser in dispensing them next year, with the wedding looming by.


Nine more months to go. A lot of planning to do. Keeping my fingers crossed and prayer close to heart.


"I watch as the daylight crawls
past the shadows hanging on the walls
it's been a long time since I felt the stains
of yesterday getting in my way


I'm alive but tell me am I free
I've got eyes but tell me can I see
the sky is falling and no one knows
we shouldn't be hard to believe
shouldn't be this difficult to breathe
the sky is falling and no one knows..."

Seriously...?

Honestly, i've been staring at the computer, wondering what to type out.

I've been on facebook and doing some reading online, and nothing is coming out until now.

Although i have a few things to blog about, i'm not in the mood to do it. *argh*

I've gotta churn something out soon....

Fiddling at a Funeral.

Technically, i'll be playing the bass at church for a memorial service of a former church member tomorrow morning.

A 31-year old lawyer here on the island passed away on Mother's Day. I don't know this guy personally, but his death left an impact to many in church, especially those who were closed to him.

The truth is he has back slided, but he had in mind to return to church one day.

"But i never expect him to come in (to church) such manner," said one church friend.

In his will, this chap requested that songs such as Old Rugged Cross and Amazing Grace were to be sang at his memorial service tomorrow morning.

He reminded me, if not many of us, that life's too short - too short to complaint, to murmer, to be sad and regret. Life is of that like a fluttering of a butterfly. Graceful at the moment, gone the next.

I remember a friend wrote, 'if we were to live like we were dying, we are no different than beggars.'

I beg to defer. I believe if we live with no sense of direction, without purpose, one day after another, THAN we are like beggars living on the day's grace.

Life's too short... live it as lively as fireworks in the sky - bright and great!

"...I went sky divin',
I went rocky mountain climbin',
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fumanchu.
And I loved deeper,
And I spoke sweeter,
And I gave forgiveness I've been denying,
And he said someday I hope you get the chance,
To live like you were dying...."

From the Bottom of My Heart

To my mummy in Heaven.
To women in my life, whom i consider a mother in many ways.
To friends who have become mothers themselves.
And those who have become grandmothers to their children's children.
To my step-mom.
To those who are expecting; on the way to motherhood.
And to those who would one day be a mother, such as my dear herself.

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!

Without your guidance, teachings, love and dedication, i do not think i would be the man i am today. I would not know how to respect women, love one and be a man. Thank you.


Love & Peace!~
