Missing out on joy, social activities with friends, and time for myself is really consuming me! I need a breather. I feel like I’m going down down down!
Below are 2 youtube videos of Britains Got Talent 2009. Watch them!
Realise that everyone is special in their own way! Never look down on anyone, as you too are not perfect. Be fair to others, and be fair to yourself! Take up the challenge, of accepting a person for his/her weaknesses, and soon you’ll come to discover his/her strength. God made us all special!
Back on 11th April 2009, the Thoo’s - Kok Wai, Wendy and Suet Mei travelled all the way from Ampang to come by my place to celebrate my belated birthday (9th April) with me. Knowing that all my family members are scattered around the world, they wanted to help fit that hole in my heart with some warm family love.
Being greeted at my doorstep together with them were boxes of coffee bean cakes. This day was commemorated with a few slices of cakes which were picked up in midst of their travels. Above is a picture of my Birthday cake – Chocolate Fudge.
After the candle blowing, it was Bon Apatite! Above is a picture of the Blueberry Cheesecake which Suet Mei had.
Above is a picture of us all (Wendy, Kok Wai, Suet Mei and I). I really enjoyed the company and appreciated the effort to come by for my birthday. As seeing Wendy was a rare opportunity and Kok Wai an even rare-er opportunity, I really cherished our catching up that day. Till we meet again, I wish you good health and God speed.
On Good Friday (10 April 2009), many people foregathered at Glad Tidings Petaling Jaya to be a part of this Easter commemoration, Beyond Tears Easter Drama. Each of our church members were encouraged to bring a friend or two along. In my case, Zhi Sheng, Sara and Sara’s mum allowed me the privilege to host them to this drama.
This drama is about the devastation, struggle and frustration which Kelly and Sam had to go through when their only child, Kevin’s life unfolded before them. In the beginning of the drama, the sound effects plotted a horrific car accident scene, involving Kevin. The above picture describes the following act, which witnessed the fear that Kevin’s mum faced, fearing for her son’s life.
After many attempts of surgery and medication, Kevin’s proved to have come to an abrupt halt. He was diagnosed to have ceased of brain activity. As the doctors revealed this untoward finding to Kelly and Sam, both of them were shocked entirely.
Sam couldn’t bear the frustration, wondering why was God so cruel to allow their only son to have to encounter such a fate. His overwhelming sadness agonized himself completely and manifested into hatred towards God.
Kevin’s relatives also arrived, all being dumbfounded on what had happened to Kevin. They pleaded to the doctor, telling her that they will bear whatever the cost would be, wanting to ensure that Kevin’s life was to be preserved. They insisted that Kevin was a wonderful boy and should never be the person to have such a fate.
Staring into the helpless and monotonous face of her son, she yelled loudly in her heart asking him to awake. She was lost, not knowing whether continuing him on life support was a selfish act. Putting him down would mean putting herself to blame, as this decision would not involve Kevin, his own soul bearer.
The next act brought the audiences back into many many years ago of this very Friday. This was the day when Jesus was crucified on the cross. He too was helpless physically, but remained strong emotionally and spiritually. Did he deserve such a fate himself? Was it God’s fault that he had to come to face such despair in life?
During Jesus’s crucifixion, His mother, Mary bore the emotional pain which He bore physically. She too remained confuse and blamed herself for His untoward destiny. But what she did was to not be selfish, and went according to His desire to allow such a proceeding to happen.
After many contemplations, they finally decided that it was time to let Kevin go. As looking beyond tears, there would be joy and happiness. Soon, Kevin returned to the realms of God.
The next act leaped a 2 year time frame. It portrayed a thankful and happy lot, celebrating the recovery of their friend who was successful in a kidney transplant. The transplanted kidney once belonged to Kevin.
Sam and Kelly finally experienced the joy beyond tears, as the lost of Kevin provided a second chance to another person.
