Goodbye Elder Brother Chan Kok Hua

Dear Elder Brother Chan Kok Hua,

Though I may not really know you, what I know of you is that, you have always been a faithful servant of Christ, never failing to attend worship though your grandson may be falling ill or no one is able to fetch you to church. You would still attend church, making your way there yourself, for sunday school, all these at a ripe old age of 77 years old.

You have left behind a testimony that we all should follow, to number our days alright, to serve the Lord faithfully till the end. We know that you have gone to a better place, seeing the Lord face to face. And by God's grace, we will meet again.

Farewell...

Thank the Lord, my lasik operation went successfully!

Thank the Lord, my lasik operation went successfully! =D

So glad that after being bespectacled for 16 years i finally got back my (almost) perfect vision.
The whole operation though abit intimidating, is actually quite painless. (Though I have tried explaining this to some pple 10,000 times, they don't take it)

It is also kinda my first operation. Well my first one was actually way back when i was very young to remove some lump in my back but that didn't turn out very well. haha.
The whole process really taught me to rely upon God. To know that I am at His mercy. It also made me understanding to those having medical problems, an indication to the kind of worry that they might have. And that I am sure, few would actually turn down you when you offer to say a prayer for them.

It is at these times that man feel most vulnerable, putting aside all treasures/wealth/etc. aside and knowing that they need God at the most. And that is what I felt when I was doning my surgurical gown before entering the operating theatre. So may the Lord help us to be at one's side when he/she is at such a state in life.

For now, have to frequently put eyedrops, acustome to the 'halos' that i see at night, and just careful that no force is applied to my eyes. Btw, I did mine at The Lasik Surgury Clinic at Paragon. Courtesy of recommendation from Emily.

Mature and Complete, not Lacking in Anything

hey hey..

2 more months and I will be in NZ, marital status, married. Unbelieveable right...Can't imagine too. haha. But thank God for everything.

Just got back from a funeral just now, Pr. Ling Ling Bing's bro passed away at a young age of 49. He was fighting arithtitis for over 20 years and breathed his last on the 31st Oct. The Lord called him back to a far better place where he will have a whole new glorious body. I caught a glance at the banner behind his coffin. "Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. No body goes to the Father except through Me." Enough said. Within these few words, the hope and peace which it brings to people is immeasurable.

Wifey just blogged quite a romantic and heartwarming post. Awwwww....

Work has been going on fine, learning the piano as usual, start learning more and more notes. Latest song to practise is "Diana" sung in 1957 by Paul Anka, the guy who also brought you the hit "My Way".

Well work hasn't realli been so smooth going for some colleagues of mine. People problems. Wifey also has problems. Mum too.
Well i think man's speech realli can't do much in encouragement...but the Word of God in James might help.

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking in anything."
