The Miniature of Life

Just done watching a thrilling game between Manchester United against Manchester City, well well well, it was breath taking, a truly amazing match. Good first goal from Nani, a deserved but chicky equaliser from David Silva, and finally the out-of-the-world goal from Wayne Rooney, a superb overhead kick 12 yards out.

A thrilling and astonishing soccer match.

I had always thought that a football league is some sort of a miniature of life.

When you were born it was a kick off, the start of the season

You win the first match

And the second match

Then as the season proceeds.....

You got a horrible result against weaker teams when you were expected to win with ease

Got sent off for nothing

After your suspension, you were off and running again!

Winning in consecutive matches!

Winning player of the month awards!

When everything seems to go your way...

You got an bad injury, kept you off for several weeks

But you didn't give up..

After several weeks you were back again

And finally at the end of the season, you got your rewards!

In our life, there are so many uncertainties that are not in our control. 

When we were born everything seems so perfect. Parents were the ever loving couple, protecting us from any form of danger. For some however, life may already seems dark from the begining, hope was no way to be seen.

As we grew, there were more things that we have to deal with. 

Teachers, homeworks and loads of assignments were some tough times but it way spared with several childhood best friends.

Upon graduation the real world was there for us to see. Prejudice, hatred, and perhaps sometimes, love. 

There was injustice, and often compromised with some counter revenge from ourselves.

And after all of those, when we are at the end of our journey on earth, if we are permitted to,

Which side would you want to be? The winning side or the losing side? Losing a match doesn't mean you lose your title, you still have time to catch up, it depends on your decision whether you choose to condemn yourself or get up and chase what was lost. Life isn't always well, but all those moments of failing and winning contributes equally to your final reward.

Cheers friends, whatever circumstances you are in right now just remember, there are always chances for you to get back up and gain what was lost and Jesus is there to give you what you had lost.

Just tell Him a simple prayer:"Help me Jesus!" , and thats all what it takes.

He just love you so much.

When accident turned incident

When accident became an incident.

For human comprehension, it might be one of the off day event that you would ever wanted it to happen, a car accident. 

2 weeks ago I was attending lectures in my university, and when lecture ended I picked up my car and started  my journey home. Just right after a turn, BANG, I hit a car infront of me, first thought was: Screwed. As usual both of us stopped at the side of the road and of course came out from the car for a routine bargaining session. Scratches were found on the back of the car, and I doesn't have enough cash with me at the time, so I told him that I would bring some scratch removal solvents to remove the scratch for him, he agreed and off I go home.

Days after that we were trying to meet up so that I could clean the scratches on his car, but due to hectic schedules we had failed to meet up. Then came the chinese new year holidays.

And finally today I manage to meet him up again, where both of us were free at the time. I walked to his apartment parking where his car was parked, cleaned the scratches for him and we started to talk at the same time. We started a conversation, and later we ended up in a local mamak stall talking like long met friends.

The best part was that I managed to share my personal testimony with him, and encouraged him to attend church services though he is not a christian.

In awe.

From a car accident and we ended up chatting happily in local mamak stall and he messaged me: Nice to meet you.

From an accident it slowly appeared as an incident well planned by God.

Truly amazing.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year to all!

One more day to chinese new year, 

This is the day where families are united, gathering together for a reunion dinner. A season of love, especially the love within families. Chinese are very much family-based, a race that emphasis much on the bond within the family. Thats the way I was brought up.

In our younger years, never once can our absence from any family occasions is compromised. Even if so, we would be greeted by our father's stern face. 

As I was growing up, I do not understand why. 

Why we must be all-present in every single family meetings? 

Why some other families their children were allowed to be absent?

As time passed, 12 became 21. 

I now understand why. One day after another, my parents were slowly aging. 

Grey hairs had slowly overtook the shining blacks. As I look into their eyes, suddenly I felt aching in my heart. I missed them dearly. 

Chinese New Year was never about the hype, red packets, mandarin oranges. It was about family.

My lovely parents and their grandchildren!

Our reunion dinner!

Hannah and her!

Happy Chinese New Year!
