2008..

Hapie new year to everyone!!! hehee..

This year, as usual, im back at home with my family having reunion dinner... the next day, went to church for our usual 'new year service'.. and followed by choir by my family.. XD...

Many of the family choirs voiced out their thanksgiving for God's faithfulness, gracefullness throughout the year..

The 'family' singing after us, was a solo... he said that after singing our family's big choir, he felt like backing out, becoz he is only singing alone... and while our family sings a 'steady song' (almost like a marching song), he is singing a melancholic song...

Further, he said that he remembered 1st Jan 2007 he was standing on the stage with his wife, despite her chronic disease, she agreed to sing praises to the Lord.. and that, was her last 'new year'... she passed away in June...

Eniweiz, his first son also passed away.. maybe in 2005 due to kidney failure...... so poor thing T.T... but despite all these, there are some goodness surfaces... his 2nd son, (my friend) has finished his education...... and for all these, this man sang solo a very very beautiful song...

"Semua baik"..... it says:
Dari semula.. tlah kau siapkan.. hidupku dalam tanganMu... dalam rancanganMu..

Rencana indah.. tlah kau siapkan.. ... bagi masa depanku yg penuh harapan..

Smua baik... smua baik... apa yang tlah kau perbuat di dalam hidupku....

smua baik.. sungguh teramat baik... kau jadikan hidupku berarti...

I felt that this man, truly felt this song... because, despite all hm... 'griefing' in his life, he can still say 'Lord, I know you have a plan for my life...

This year, when i came back to singapore, i got the message that my grand-aunt passed away... I saw her the night before i left.. she still looked like the usual fragile-but-full-of-smile grand-aunt...

There's also a friend of mine who has been staying agile by his mom's side.....

This year, my theme song will be:

Ku tak mau hidup percuma.. tiada artinya

Tolongku giat Tuhan, gunakan stiap waktu

Menyenangkan hati Tuhan inilah doaku..

Asal Tuhan kuatkan... ku mau setia selalu..

I want to be faithful in all I do.. especially for now, i wanna be faithful to my education... only 5 shorts months to go before i reach the finish line... i want to be faithful to it....... =] I dont want to 'hidup percuma'.... =] Life is God's gift for all of us.... let's treasure it! ^_^v
