知己

有朋友的人,未必有知己。

张惠妹的歌,《知己》
还好变成了知已 起码随时看到你
哭泣或欢天喜地 可以陪你
让这个故事继续 结局我们都如此好奇
肯定可以一起有惊喜 魔力或奇迹
让它随意上映 可惜不能靠得太近
但仍心存感激 好散好聚我们都庆幸
一时很难去解释 这样微妙的距离
也许我们都很满意 感情是我们一向来
很尊重的事情 现在就紧紧的
维系彼此关系 长大了也许对于某种
感动的东西 一点点都珍惜
还好变成了知已 起码随时看到你
哭泣或欢天喜地 可以陪你
是没有差到哪里 相处的还算和气
就差那一句 我爱你
可惜不能靠得太近 但仍心存感激
好散好聚我们都庆幸 一时很难去解释
这样微妙的距离 也许我们都很满意
感情是我们一向来 很尊重的事情
现在就紧紧的 维系彼此关系
长大了也许对于某种 感动的东西
一点都珍惜 都得来不易
比如像你

安娣走了




在宿舍四年的安娣走了,或许是金融风暴的关系吧。
昨天她告诉我时,跟她拍了一张照片留念。
安娣,珍重!

离意初萌
气话

近来总是感觉到一股又一股的压迫感。

首先是那荒唐的绯闻,应该说,又另外一则荒唐的绯闻。我身边的好朋友们,如果你们被卷入一些很荒谬的传闻,那我非常对不起。至于那些爱乱说话的人,我不知道你们是谁,但我很生气。你们可知道,你们的随便开个玩笑是多么地令我反感。我痛恨绯闻。

更令人感到迫恻的是,我竟然和学生传绯闻。你们可知道,这事可大可小。我跟他们混得比较熟是因为我还不老。而且,我和他们年龄相差不远,与他们成为好朋友有什么值得稀奇的?你们乱想,未免太过不信任我了罢。

最令我失望的是你竟然怀疑我假公济私。对,那时我处于两难状态,但我不是不专业的舍监。我可以坦白告诉你,当时的我做了我应该做的事。你爱怎么想我不管了。不如你想想,学生出事我为何不想向你报告呢?

还有你,我们仅是同僚,请你搞清楚这一点,我无须向你报告一切。我不喜欢你的言行,如果可以,请不要干涉我的事。

爱看小我的人,我不需要你的鼓励,如果可以,请你们闭嘴。我知道你比我老,理应比我懂事,然而你的言行说明你很幼稚。别惹我!!!
我需要冷静冷静。

教会所学

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

————————————————————————————————————————

今天,干爹讲道,说我们得有如神那样的恻隐之心。在奉献时,不能只求形式上的竣工,而要打从心里真诚地去奉献。
他也说了一则挺感人的故事。今天的他,非常疲惫。但,在讲台上仍然很有条理地把话说清楚。感谢主。

2008 - People that have shaped my 2008.

Auntie Linda
Not just for this years, over the years, you have been the light and the salt for me. I thank God for allowing you to mentor, more so after I have graduated from JC.
You have always been a role model to me, so focused and yet so warm at the same time. You seem to read my mind, you seem to know what I am thinking even without me saying it.
Over the years, I have learned much from you, (I hope). I will still continue to learn from you.

Benji
It is a chapter of life that I wish I could have written it in a better way. You had been such a good brother to me, taking care of me, how you have showed much tolerance towards me. even to the extent of spoiling me. Still remember, you question the possibility of you getting me spoilt. Ha…But I guess, we are just too different. Now that we are friends, I feel more natural. Thanks for walking into my life.

Bill Gother
I would say many important decisions that I have made was actually under his influence. He is a stranger to me, yet his wisdom is splendid. I went for your seminar, never in my life would I imagine myself attending something like that. Yet, you have caused my relationship with my parents and boss to be better. I thank God for you dedication to His service.

Cheryl
My housemate. Still remember that you were my HM, checking me into OH. Knowing you as a housemate has changed my perspective towards cool people like you. You didn’t talk much, you still don’t talk much to any people. Thanks for praying for me, thanks for being there when I want to grumble, thanks for having me to stay with your family, they are lovely.

Chin Yee
fellow AHM, my AHM, my mentor in handling issues in OH.
It has been tough. You are a transparent person, your emotions are always written on your face. There are time that I will siam from your black face. Nonetheless, is kinda cool to be truthful to oneself. Ha.
Thanks for taking care of me whenever possible. Thanks for inviting me to be your white mouse when you cooked, your food tastes nice! Thanks for being an encouragement to me.
There was once a rumour saying that you were leaving, Ricky and I felt like leaving….A lot of people have left, so, please don’t leave abruptly.

Christabel
If Andrew has not left, I guess we may not have been close friends. I guessed, this year has been tough for you as well., with “your that friend’ and all other things that has caught us off guard. There are people who have warned me against you, I guess they are worried that we would get together or something like that. Hmm… How is that possible? So no worries, k ( sounds like me speaking to myself)
Thanks for sharing your life with me for the past few months or so. I hope I have been a help to you.


Dr. Tan

If every Chinese teacher is like you, Singapore will embrace the language. You are my favourite Chinese teacher, because you are able to inspire. You have inspired me to be more than a language teacher, your lessons have definitely widened my horizons in terms of how teaching can be done. All the best for your new post.

Grace
I think we have done a lot of funny things together, performing without knowing the song well, talking rubbish whole day long. You are a fun friend, but you have moved on. All the best Grace. When you come back, let’s meet up k.

Matthew
You have been a good influence to me. And it has been interesting enough to know you as a close friend. We have stayed under the same roof of OH for 2 years plus, it is only till this year that I got know you. Your BPR is accurate to say that you have widened your social circle. Thanks for being there when I needed someone to hear me rant, thanks for ranting to me. Thanks for being so mature at such age. Thanks for -- befriending

Sharon
Thanks for being there for me when Andrew left, your encouragement have helped me to go through the that period. Thanks for also guiding me in teaching in CF. This is my first year, and I am glad that I have you as my partner, someone that is so seasoned that I can learn from.
I shall help you to baby-sit Asher more often. I hope I have a free day for next semester.

Siew Geok
Thanks for always giving me the positive side of the coin. You have been strong in your character. I thank God for your life. This year has not been easy for you as well, but in the midst of all these, it is as if God is showing me that I need to persevere and trust in Him even when the storms arise.

Xiao Wei
You are like everybody’s personal assistant. Thanks for being a good friend in school. Thanks for going home with me. I wish you all the best with all the commitment that you have gotten yourself into, It is in you to be so selfless, give yourself a break when you need it, k? cheers

Hymn Of Promise Hymn



In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree;
In cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter there’s a spring that waits to be,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

There’s a song in every silence, seeking word and melody;
There’s a dawn in every darkness, bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity;
In our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity,
In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

-------------------------------------------------------

Living by faith

When God called Abraham to the promised land,
he left his possesions and went to a strange place
stayed there till he died.

He never live to see the fulfillment of God's promise.
Yet, God fulfilled His promise.

We may not understand why God do certain things
Stumble us in ways beyond our imagination
But I believe that God is still in control
He loves us,
and this is a season of His love.

Misery

Lately, there are just too many things that has happened to people around me.

First it was the exodus of people that I am closer to, from the hostel, to another place. I am worried about their welfare, I am worried about how they are taking this, I am worried that perhaps they might feel discouraged...(and the list goes on for my worldly concerns). The most fatal, most irrational one - The decision takes away many of my good friend.

Second, there are different things that is happening to my closer friends, the few of them, regarding their future. I can't help. I can only pray.

It is affecting me more than I imagined. (Since all of them come together)
I need a break, but disappearing at this moment, is not an idea that will sit well with my rational self.

那一场过云的细雨



那一场过云的细雨,格外宁静。雨水像雪花似飘着下来。
灰的天,绿的茵,湖镜的朦胧。
灰的天,再过一阵就会蓝。
绿的茵,是渺小,但它们渺小得坚强
湖面得涟漪打扰着你麻木的苦闷,
忍着吧,雨总会停,你是会看到太阳的。
那一场过云的细雨,如人生的挫折,
细雨滋润大地,洗净凡尘;挫折让你成长,让你坚强。

Failures?

I've failed in the battle, that I've set for myself. But my Lord, our God has not failed us. Perhaps He has all this in mind, to stimulate growth that is in us.

More than often, we don't see things in the light of His glory.
More than often, we see our problems as even bigger than God.
and more than often, our failures are amplified because of that.


the other day, I watched a short video.



The story starts with a young father, in his 30's carrying a toddler, about 1 year old. They walked to the forest, enjoying the scenery in the greens, the cricket singing, sun shining gently through the canopy. At that time, the toddler was being carried at the back of the father.

Suddenly, there was a thunder storm, unexpected, no sign of it. Both the father and the son were caught in the rain, initially, the son was just wondering what's happening. Then, it was the lightning and the thunder, louder and fiercer each time. He yelled, cried and screamed at the top of his lungs, daddy coudln't do much but to continue walking. Not to mention that the ground was slippery.

The father has decided to changed the posture of carrying the baby, he held him close to his heart, covering him. He whispered to him, "don't worry son, we will make it,I love you som......" The baby continues to cry.

If the baby were to remember this scene, he might ask, why do you have to let me go through the rain...
The father who was telling the story told us that though it was dangerous, he would never trade that experience with any other thing because it was one of the most intimate moment that he shared with his sons. I think that when the son sees the storm, he will also learn how to adapt to it, relying on the father's strength as well.

We may want to ask, God, why do you have to put us through all these.
Perhaps we should reflect, have we been relying on God's strength?
Does it give you this storm so as to prepare you for more storm in the future.

1 Corinthians 10:13b, He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear
Similarly, he will not give you a problem that cannot be solved.

Peace be with you......

阿伯拉罕的启示

最近又回到了《创世纪》Genesis,直到第二十篇,阿伯拉罕Abraham已经第二度否认了撒拉Sarah,他的妻子。这是一个不寻常的现象,阿伯拉罕不是那个有满天星辰般的后代,遵照神的指令的吗?怎会做出这样的事?

是恐惧。
蓬生麻中,不扶而直 。但一切都很顺利的时候,人不会有造反的意念。人格的考验在于艰难的情况。
阿伯拉罕也是如此。他说,他怕亚比米勒Abimalech王国的人是恶人,说妻子是妹子,以免他本身遭杀头。

我不也是如此,活在恐惧与拒否当中。很多时候,信念是微薄的,重重困难蒙蔽了心眼,看不到属灵界的层面。
突然想到,挪亚Noah在造方舟Ark心理的矛盾。灾难来临却不能阻止灾难的发生。能吗?

人me,就是这么渺小。

新词教学

来,让练老师教你们一个新词。相信在新加坡的你不会没听过"pek chek",这个词。
它是福建话,有焦躁的意思。其实,焦躁比pek chek难理解,一说pek chek大家都知道你在说什么。

怎么写呢?迫恻,来,跟着老师写。好,很好。

好,有没有人可以为这个词造句呢?

无奈

心情极矛盾,黄连在嘴里却要装着若无其事。百般无奈,就连倾诉得权利也几乎被剥夺。
官之双口也,百姓有口却无言以对。最可恶的是隐瞒,臭铜锈的或囊。

那是我的慰籍,如苦药一碗后总有陈皮梅。没了陈皮梅,八年之约如何履行?

我带着总多苦水,向神倾诉,他什么也没说,却安抚了我烦躁的心。
我必须要坚强,不然暴动起来会撑不住。

我要沉淀沉淀

不归家的小孩

又被背叛了,又是同一个人。
别人常说,不该生学生的气。我功力不足,如果要我不生气,那就等于叫我把他放弃。
唯有等他回来再谈。

另一个,也是这样。一晚有两个学生把我气坏了,气得我要哭了。
当我与其中一人的母亲通电时,才了解到,我对学生的关心也不过如此。在海外的父母那一瞬间应该会更加难受。然而,这位母亲并没有展露出对儿子的不满,她的声音还是充满着耐心。钦佩。

Grace

This is another ocassional English entry, for Grace Neoh.

A ring was sufficient to let us know your conditions, is beyond words.
Thanks for calling. It was as if you were still there, a few floors away, and it was as if we were even meeting for tomorrow's breakfast. Things that used to be routine can only be cherish as memory.

Remember when...

大家快祈祷

人有身心灵,
最近属灵上感觉到有些不对劲,有必要赶尽杀绝吗?留有余地,往日好相遇。
以毒攻毒不是圣经的教诲。圣经教的是信望爱。
曾经坚持的信念消了吗?
希望磨灭了吗?
不爱了吗?

神还在吗?当然

醒醒吧!快为眼前的事而祈祷,放下那贴身的尊严祈祷吧!

回想起,当初你为何而来?

狂笑

蚯蚓公公被点了笑穴,从泥巴钻出来就拼命地笑,前仰后伏。

它走过草场,草儿们吓呆了。它们是第一次遇到会笑得蚯蚓,下得明天的露珠也蒸发了。

青色的花问蚯蚓公公:你在笑什么?
蚯蚓公公深呼吸了一下,看着青花,用虫指指着青花,话未说出口,又狂笑起来。

过了许久,蚯蚓公公总算冷静下来了,钻回328睡着了。明天没有露珠,它大概不会起得这么早。
