A song that I wrote, A story that I am telling...
In 2003, I wrote a song by the title ‘HE’. It is a Chinese Christian song where the content is about God is the one that is always there to help us and to console us when things in our life take unexpected turns. I am not so good in my music so I only got to do the lyrics of the song and passed it to another brother-in-Christ. He dint come up with any tune to it and the whole song was being shelved from then onwards. I dunno why God put the lyrics in my heart to come up with the song.
Until end of 2004, another brother-in-Christ got to the hype of writing Christian songs and then there was when I found the word document and printed out a copy for him to try. Within 2 weeks, he finished the tune and with the first brother-in-Christ, they fine tune the whole song. They did a recording of the song using only guitar for me to hear. I enjoyed the song a lot. I still dunno why God created this song and what is His purpose for the song.
In 2005, when I first began to teach in Dunman High, I got a form class that I treasured a lot. 2 Jateka. There are 36 of them and all of them are a gem to me. It was a time where both boys and gals co-exist in the same class – I was with TKGS before coming to Dunman High. You could have imagined my thrill and excitement when I am given the role of a form teacher for this class. I had a great time with those 36 little ones... then something happened to one of them. Her father passed away due to illness. I was shocked. I still remember that night before visiting her father in the hospital, I was praying hard for miracles to happen, and for the little soul to be strong in this midst of crisis. The next day, together with another teacher and a few close friends of her we went down. That was when her father’s situation took a worse turn.
Then the news that he had passed away.
I still remember her telling me that her daddy is going to learn the guitar together with her at the end of 2005 and that he has decided to station himself in Singapore and not fly so frequently due to work so that he can spend time with her. All of a sudden, everything vaporized in the thin air.
That night when I got the news I questioned God why and why and why. It was a time of struggling for my faith. I simply can’t understand why a God that is Love would remove love from a student of mine. And I start to ask how and how and how. How can I help? How will she live and face the world in future? How about the family?
I forgot to ask WHO.
And He reminded me WHO HE IS through the song that I wrote. I found the paper that had the lyrics on my table and really read the lyrics once more. And then I understand why God put such a song in my heart. I took 2 years to fully understand it. God has seen the future and place this song in the past to comfort the present. He prepared this song 2 years ago for her. The following is the translation of the song in English.
Who is the one that turns the night becomes day
Who is the one that turns the tears into joy
It’s Him, the Lord who created the heavens and earth
It’s Him, the Lord who is Alpha and Omega
Who is the one who lets the stars shine at night
Who is the one who nurture the earth with rain
It’s Him, the Lord who grant me life
It’s Him, the Lord who walks with me
In all crisis You are my comfort
When the flood comes You are my King
Though it is bitter but Your comfort is much more
Though the road is long I know who holds my hand
I shared this story to that batch of students in student camp 2005. How God has seen through time and prepares things for us long before creation. She was not there during the camp. She dint know about the sharing. This blog entry is for her… after another 3 years.

ZZZZ....zzz...
between the time i blog till today, i have completed patapon... the first game i have completed since i bought my PSP last year. Ultimate Alliance havent finish cos cant get captain america to use a long hammer to hit a spot... grrr... now life is getting bored without my patapons...
anyway left only 3 week plus before i come back to school... wonder how the rest of the teachers and my students are doing now... hopefully they are doing well in school.. jiayou.. i will join u all back sooner than you think... hahahaha...
and to all the not so tall people that is reading my blog - please there is nothing wrong being short... even when u r in yr 3... u will grow and overshoot ur instrument and that one day you will be a tall handsome young man. and do enjoy your shortness because you are unique. THERE IS ONLY ONE YOU! God made only ONE and ONLY ONE you. so be who you are and enjoy yourself. you are part of the world but there is only one you. live life as worthy as you can be. always remember that in this life, there is no turning back. we can look back, for memories and old times, but we can never go back in time - so treasure your presence. and also treasure the time you spend with your friends and teachers.
was having dinner with siswo and mr tay the other day at simei foodcourt... then we were talking about how time flies and how things go so fast... in a blink, i was with 1Jateka enjoying the orientation, in another, those kids are now student leaders in different areas in school. i am with dunman high for 4 years liao... fast man, that is 2/3 time that i spent in TKGS.... time realli passes fast. there is no time for us to bear grudges, there is no time for us to compete and compare who is better, there is no time for us to dwell in personal pride. but there is time for us to love, to be with each other, to do things for greater for greater goods...
so to my beloved jatekaians - treasure your time with ur friends, we been through a lot in 2 years... that was the best time i have in DHS and will always be. take care and raise a banner where a banner never flew... if not now.. .when?
(ok got to pay attention to my lecturer liao.. bb :P)

For my beloved yr 3 SCs...
to my beloved yr 3 SCs,
just some pointers that i shared with u all last Friday..
1. That everyone of us is a piece of puzzle that forms a beauty and complete picture. so everyone is important to make the picture complete - remember what i told u all about finding out the last piece of puzzle missing?
2. That each of us is interlock with one another, in fact, i use the word 'intertwined' with one another - so if one of us is successful, the rest celebrates the success too... if one of us is burdened, we share it amongst us.
3. That as we work together as a family and one vision, we will and must reach out to our year 3s.
4. That your seniors love you and care about you...
yupp yupp, i think that's all i have to say... have a nice week ahead. :)
Patapon
hmm.. i think i am blogging some really serious stuffs.. so this one is a bit light.. and you can see what i am doing recently.... patapon is a very exciting game.. but i am stuck at hunting down the golden peacock to get the spell of the wind to blow off the arrows... so if anyone see this, PLEASE tekll me how to aquire the spell of the wind... if u dunno wad i am talking abt... then perhaps wad u can do is get one PSP and the game.. PATAPON... if you are still confuse, then here are some pics of the game...
