Hymn Of Promise

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.

Ther'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.

Funeral

Had been a few days since i attended her funeral. It was tuesday morning. Went to the hospital at about 645am. Placed a little white flower in her coffin. Looked at her for the last time. She wore our GB officer full-uniform(she was our ex-capt, handed over her duties in 2005). She was a faithful worker of christ. Lying there, she seemed cold, rigid and so uncomfortable....memories of time spent together flooded me and tears flowed. The crowd around sang hyms as people took turns to pay their respect and to place flowers in her coffin. The atmosphere itself was down and painful enough, not to mention the hearts of those who knew her, her students, collegue (she was a teacher in St.E), friends, family, relatives.....Her coffin was closed, took photos and we all went to Zion Methodist church for her memorial service. Her life journey was told and photos where shown....even one little part of her diary. Its contents were about how she felt about the 10th anniversary(2003) of our 3rd Sibu GB Sunday. On how she was tired after it all but didn't feel sleepy yet. In it, she even wondered how it would be on the 20th anniversary.....although she would no longer be the Capt at that time but it would sure be some experience and something to look forward to.....After that, all of us GB girls and officers (from other companies too) sang a hymn....our rev gave a short account of how it happened, how he felt and etc. Soon the service ended and we proceeded to the graveyard for her burial....It all ended at 1030am. A teary morning indeed....Compared to Lord Jesus, she has had her time...it was sudden, but she did impact many of those around her....her work is done and God came to take her back with him....she will be waiting for us in our heavenly home...one day we shall meet and reunite in God....Amen.

Condolence

Someone, who has been a friend and a teacher to me for the pass 12++ years, passed away tonight. It was so sudden. First they sent me message asking me pray for her then the next moment i recieved one that said she had already passed away....I even doubt if there was some mistake or joke to that message. My friend called to confirm. It is true...really really true....a hard and harsh fact that she is no longer with us.....that our Heavenly Father took her back with Him......

Special day today

Today is my mom's birthday (chinese calender 10th Feb). She had totally no idea that it is her b-day. Gave her a new handphone for her present, her old one was already like non-usable....well, at least to me it seems so. Big and bulky and 'laoya'. Some antic. Haha. Used my fist pay of my first job to buy it =D She's happy about it and i'm glad she likes it that much...though she says that she doesn't know how to use it. Rest assured, the handphone comes with 'handphone lessons'.....haha......

Now i know why......

Now i know why some of the people i know slept through good movies (or found it boring anyway). Happened to me too. Not long ago, i downloaded a movie 'Underworld' from the internet with bitcomet. It was as large as 1.4++GB and took me 27 hours to download it. It was a good movie or supposedly a good one until i actually started watching it....why? because i found out that the one i downloaded wasn't in english. Maybe it was in spanish, italian or french(no subtitles, no nothing)....who knows.....i kept watching anyway, 2 long hours, and i didn't understand what was going on, not even a bit of it.....it was a disaster. The movie was a hit and i found it un-interesting. My mum called me stupid and i joked 'Now i know why people sleep through good movies, because they dont understand what is being potrayed or just simply that they dont understand the language that is being used' lolz.....=p
