Greetings everyone!! =]
kae.. first time posting in this blog..
just wanna share something about God's wonderful timing and plans..
I believe many of us feels that it's not easy to talk to your relatives and friends about your religion.. let alone talking to a stranger about it..
well.. this is what happened.. which i hope will be able to encourage everyone of you..
on sunday night.. after Stephen Tong Gospel Rally..
i was on my way walking out of the stadium..
as i took the escalator down to the carpark..
i hesitated on whether to take their free shuttle service to Kallang MRT or to take their stadium direct bus to Yio Chu Kang which is nearer to my house..
when i saw the long queue for the free shuttle service to Kallang MRT station..
i decided to take the stadium direct bus instead..
therefore.. i boarded the bus heading towards Yio Chu Kang..
not long after i board the bus.. this auntie and her friend came up and sat next to me..
becoz there are no any other seats available.. (her friend sat opposite her.. )
well.. i was alone.. therefore.. i put on my mp3.. and start thinking about how long the journey might take me..
after a while..
i realise this auntie keep turning her head and look at me..
i was quite confused on what's going on.. and a bit embarrassed too..
so i smiled back.. but she looked away.. =
so i continued listening to my mp3.. trying to pretend i din smile at her..
but after a min or 2.. she turned and looked at me again..
i still felt quite puzzled.. coz this auntie looks like she wanna talk to me..
so deciding to try my luck.. i kept my mp3 away into my bag..
i keep thinking if this auntie is trying to talk to me.. but she din say anything neither did she turn and stare at me.. when i was still thinking about how funny all these had happened..
the auntie suddenly turned and looked at me again..
finally this auntie initiated the conversation..
"xiao mei.. can share with auntie how you came to know Christ?" well.. she asked in chinese..whoa.. i was quite surprised.. not that part about she initiating the conversation.. but the part on how she knows i'm a christian..anyway.. i told her i was born in a christian family.. she said.. that's good.. and she only got baptised 3 years ago.. and she started sharing how she came to know Christ.. then i was feeling quite peaceful when i listen to her talk.. she shared quite a lot.. and she suddenly gave me a flower which she had taken from the Gospel Rally.. i was touched by her actions.. and therefore.. i took the flower from her.. then after a while.. she handed me another lily..
i looked at the flowers.. not becoz the flowers were extraordinary special or what.. but becoz of this special auntie seated next to me.. many thoughts were running in my mind.. thinking how amazing God placed all these "coincidences" together.. then the story is not yet over becoz the journey is not over yet also..so this auntie continued to choose 2 flowers.. and tapped the couple standing in front of us.. "xiao jie.. zhe ge hua song gei ni.. ye su ai ni.."the lady was quite shocked by the auntie's actions..but she took the flowers.. she then went on to ask if they had believed in Christ.. then the 4 of us started chatting..after chatting for a while.. the couple said they were from Myanmmar.. haha.. i almost wanted to say.."hey hey.. i went to Myanmmar before.."
well.. but that is so not me.. so i din say mention anything.. =S
after i alighted.. i was quite happy and touched.. becoz i thought about how this auntie cared for a stranger.. i'm just a stranger to her.. but we managed to share about how Christ came into our lives.. i hope that all of us will be encouraged by this.. to think about how can we care for our friends.. She talked to a stranger.. and cared about this stranger's salvation..
whoa.. i just realised what a long post i've posted.. =S
God Bless and Have a great week.. =)

HEY HEY
hear this.
remember the time we went to ubin. and we cycled
and even went to chek jawa? with tau wei.
yes, the one where some of us fell.
and the one where we climbed up those flights of stairs
to reach the top of the tower
yes, that one.
let me try and recall. i think
kenneth, jasper, esther, denise, weiming, alicia, kelvin, tauwei, joel
well. back to topic. soooo. after that we went for lunch
and sat down to play the name calling game
with the sea creatures and islands
with that stack of poker cards.
and i think i was complaining (joel)
when these people were filming us.
here comes the wonderful part.
we were aired on channel U for 30 seconds?
as part of a 'discover what ubin's like' documentary
know why we were aired?
this was what they said,
'the kids here have no sorrows or worries,
they play and look forward to a new day'
hah!
let's meet up to play every day then. haha.
or at least, let's look forward to tomorrow
'cause, i can face tommorrowwww.
because he lives...
haha
that's all for today.
and thank you denise for watching teevee :D
p.s. in case you forgot. it's this trip.
