这个星期上班没什么紧急的工作要完成,算是工作了差不多半年里最闲空的一个星期咯。
今早读了奇智uncle儿子的部落格,他每次写的都让我反思不少,可能他在外地做工,所以很多事情看得比较透彻。
好久没写中文的帖子,一时间有点不习惯。怪怪的感觉。昨晚,有位姐妹来我家,我们四个聊了好久,彼此分享了很多。她还是学生,所以功课与信仰在取舍方面就面对了些挣扎。很感恩,有机会跟她们分享自己过去两年的经历。
弟兄姐妹间如此分享的时段,在进入职场后是少之又少,甚至可以说很难。我一直祷告让我有机会跟他人分享我的生命。我的生命并不是完美到,只是因着有上帝,有了改变。看到大家对信仰有所保留,对于给上帝的时间还是不舍得。她问了我一句,“如果没怎么读书,又怎么能考到好成绩呢?”
我想这个问题,应该会有好多人想问我,尤其是西瓜小弟(他应该没看我的部落格咯)。求学有其技巧,并不是读得久一定会,很多人在图书馆读书,多了聊天的空间;在房间读书,多了睡觉的空间;在食堂读书,多了找东西吃的空间。你说,对不对?哈哈。
我的技巧并不是每个人都用得着的。所以,重要的是找到自己独特的方法咯。我习惯读书时走来走去,甚至第一年我住顶楼时,是边绕走廊边读书的。还有,我读书是分部进入头脑的,所以,我是依着页数,位置记得书中的黄金。打个比方,第一部分读了后,上个厕所,第二部分读了后,吃点东西,第三部分读了后,睡个觉。。。。这样我回想时,是依据部分记得,上厕所前读什么,之后是什么,吃了东西后,又什么进入脑袋。。。是不是很不可思议呢?
24小时,并不是不够用,而是很多时候我们把小小的时间都浪费掉咯。我是很注重自己心情的女子(好像不适合用女孩了哦)。当然要让自己每天开开心心的咯。你们也是哦。
星期日晚上的那两通电话让我开心极了哦。挂了第一通电话,让我不禁控制不了眼泪。哈哈。回想自己如何一步一步认识上帝,从完全不想去理会到愿意学习摆上。也看到身边的弟兄姐妹如何在主的带领下成长,甚至也勇敢地站出来服事。那是多么美好的事哦。一切荣耀归于天父!!才过了十多分钟,泪水还没止就接到第二通电话。好像约好了那样。哈哈。让我很想立刻飞到团契中。还在大学的朋友,好好把握在团契的日子哦。很快就会飞逝了,想回都回不到的哦。。。。

Contact lens artwork has almost come to an end. Yesterday, the design was sent to Taiwan for bulk production already, guess will enter market next year. I heard that the three largest markets are Sabah, Sarawak and Penang. Can’t imagine how I feel when seeing my artwork being marketed around. Clear lens is done; colour lens artwork is on its way, probably next year. Seem like having part-time job in hand...wakaka...
Prince Lychee bought whole set of tools......they are neither for gardening nor cooking... quite hard to guess one. For hair styling de (so nice word to use)....I become hairdresser during weekend. Wakaka... i don’t really know how to cut hair, just treat as bushes trimming and cut cut....my first attempt was not that successful as Prince Lychee’s face grew darker and darker..wakaka...i ignored him and continue my “floral shaping”.
Will be having floral arrangement (cha hua) training this coming Saturday in church. This one is real flower arr...wakaka... anticipating the event. If everything is fine, i will join the serving team as well. See first lah. Learning new handcraft is not bad too....
Recently, i don’t play much with my collection. Just adding few new items to it~~

I have started reading a new book, entitled “Taking Your Soul to Work” by R. Paul Stevens and Alvin Ung. My church invited Brother Alvin for a career talk. This book surrounds around fruit of spirit to relate to workplace. It’s an English book, definitely. I enjoy reading it, although at slower pace, as it’s well-organised.
Please read John 21:15 – 25 before proceed.
I always feel bad when i compare myself with others. And of course, envy arouses when we start to measure how well-being we are in the midst of the crowd. Sometimes i do wandering around, thinking that it might be good if i didn’t start off to be on top of the world at young age.
Success taste has been filling my days since young. The feeling of being excelling penetrates every single edge of my heart. It’s hard to pull myself down and to put myself into others’ shoes. There is one example shown in the book that i would like to share more. First of all, you need to follow the rule of the game, please read the verses ya. TQ~~
When we read this part, our main focus will always be why Jesus asks Peter to feed His sheep repeatedly for three times? Before that, i would like to draw your attention to how Peter answers Jesus. Peter is hurt when Jesus asks him the third time. If i were Peter, i guess i blow out already even being asked for the second time impatiently.
This scenario actually reflects my response towards GOD. Being impatient, being unlovable.... GOD is not loso-ing, HE is always here encouraging me, affirming me that HE is by my side anytime. By the way, why Jesus throws out the question three times? In Greek, the three ‘love’s represent different levels of love. Believers are referred to as sheep throughout Scripture. From here, i know that to take care of sheep is really not as easy as ABC. This motivates me not to give up when encounter stumbling blocks when serving GOD or growing in Christ.
We always miss out verse 15:20, incident where Peter points to another disciple after answering Jesus. Jesus is moulding Peter to be a better man. However, Peter seems to oversee it as a ‘ma-fan’ question. At the very end, he points to another disciple (John) “How about him”?
As for myself, i do the same thing as Peter does too. When i am appointed to do certain task, i will point to other and voice out the same feeling or sometimes keep in heart unrevealed. Without i myself realising, it is indeed envious feeling because i feel like doing more tasks and others leisuring around. You see how Jesus answers Peter, it’s none of his business.
“Wah, mana eh sai like that” is my first thought. I begin to ponder over and over again. I know that GOD is in control of everything, He is the sailor and He takes control of the direction. But somehow i don’t live out the truth. I always see others as example, not Jesus. What people in church do/involve in or how they act, i will feel that it’s right because Christians do right things. Subsequently, i will try out as well. Definitely, this statement is not 100% precision.
I just need to stay still and obey what’s GOD’s plan for me, and not pointing at others. GOD has HIS unique plan for each and every one of us. We have special individuality in GOD.
Other may have happy family, excellent result, bright future, confidence in serving, romantic relationship, lasting friendship, caring friends, sophisticated bicycle, pretty clothing, latest hand-phone, wind-blowing hairstyle, sweet singing voice, good in speaking.....the list goes on and on. Gambateh and be the one who love, love, love JESUS ya. Let’s do it together and invite more into the list ya.
Sorry for my poor sharing ya. Anyway, hope that you enjoy it. :P

This date has been somehow special whereby
Two lovable juniors having their baptism today
I shared bible basic knowledge with three 90th young believers
I arranged one giving-encouragement section
Again, they wrote that I am ‘cute’
Is it a good thing to share?
Don’t know how long I will carry this title?
Anyway, got ‘fly fly’ a bit coz they actually shared more than our 1st meet
Taught Sunday School
Inserted “Bible Millionaire” game in my teaching
They were excited about having laptop and projector in class
Thankful that i manage to catch their attention
As i found out that devotional material in the workbook is not attractive enough for 11-12 years old kids
I photocopied 6-days devotion materials for them
Emphasizing the importance of devotion
I gave 5-colours beads to them as Christmas Gift
Of course not forgetting to share the meanings of those 5 colours
Surprisingly, they were so excited getting such gift
In my eye, it’s just a very small gift, nothing much
Ah, kids are so simple-minded
Had an idle evening resting
So coincidentally
Two juniors calling me up at night and chatted for almost 2 hours
Just get to know that there are so many stories happening in Parit Buntar
Wakaka...

For the past week, my mood has been swinging end-to-end without reasons. I couldn’t figure out what’s wrong with me. Just feel like venting my temper, not wanting to think of the consequences or anyone that i may hurt. Sit down and telling myself that i am so bad to behave like that.
There are surprises after surprises dooming these few weeks. I am elevated by all these, however on the other hand, i feel restless. I lost my own leisure time, thinking...imagining...planning... it’s like back to university life whereby there were lots of decision and plans to jump over.
I had finished the 1st theology class last Saturday. It’s really a knowledge-based and learning-inclined class where i came across lots of ritual or different religion practices. When i know more about other religion/belief, it somehow makes me more confident to share gospel with them. Some practices i was like “Ah, like this also can ar?”, and i really really wonder the reasons behind.
Photoshop or artwork has never rendered me from being cheerful. It’s something i like and enjoy playing with it. Recently i am busy designing for a contact lens packaging. For the very first time, i amend so many times. Of course this time is for commercialization purpose, gonna be serious about it. Squeeze my mind for a unique design for it. Starting to have sleepless night, no more 8-hours slumber.
I design till a stage where i don’t feel like open photoshop. Precious bedtime moment with GOD somehow lost in air. i only come to realise it after a week. I believe once relationship with GOD weakened; all other things will be torn out as well. Remember the bridge between grapes and branches. Without GOD, we can do nothing. Again, GOD reminds me to put HIM on top of my interest. Drawing my footsteps near to GOD.... shout to GOD, worship HIM in whatever tasks my hands are shaping.... i still haven’t come out with the design, but, again, sweetness of experiencing GOD overwhelming in the 1st place. Oh yes!
Yee~ i remember i received such gift from little fish, apple memo pad. As my birthday present, right? >_<
And one thing, i rejected being Art Teacher. I shared in Facebook that Saturday morning is the wonderful time with GOD. If i were to insert Art teaching in my calendar, then lots of things will be left unorganized. Chasing after $$$ sounds good but it’s the major culprit in dragging us away from spiritual life. Of course i wouldn’t be the “all work make apple a dull girl”, not forgetting to add element of enjoyment bit by bit.

There are lots of excitements this week. GOD is really my shepherd, i shall lack nothing.
The managing director of a contact lens company requests me to design the product packaging corporate line. I never know that there is such high position person in church until Uncle Pang called me up. It’s my very first time designing for packaging, and what matters more is to design for contact lens (p/s: i never wear before o). Really thank GOD for the golden opportunity and appreciate much Uncle Pang for trusting me the task.
Last Sunday, Teacher Wong approached me to be Art Teacher at her tuition centre. Wow, such a good news to welcome. It’s a newly established tuition centre, if i were to agree, then i will be leading all of the Art Classes. I made a floral handcraft for her tuition centre few weeks back. She thought of me when there are parents requesting for art class. A simple thing sometimes does have blessing in disguise. We won’t know how GOD is going to work in us. Teacher Wong said we can work together to share gospel with the kids in long term. Ah, this is what the sound of my heart sings about. Being a influent teacher and to share good news with the kids......
Prince lychee is wow-ing at what i am experiencing now. He cheerfully summarized for me, saying that last month I give away that much and now GOD bless me more than that. GOD is really amazing. When i sat down and thought all over again, deep relief was circulating around. I really can’t imagine what i am going through now. It is like a dream......
Photoshop-ing for contact lens and still pending for being an Art Teacher.....Seeking for HIS will....

Please read 1 Corinthians 3:5 before proceed.
====Start====
One prophet fainted and lied on bed for days. When he woke up, he saw one brother sitting beside him. The brother said that he didn’t leave ever since the prophet fainted. The prophet asked the reason why he was doing so. The brother said that the prophet was the light of his life. The prophet sighed because the brother looked up at him as the role model instead of GOD. His life does not shine out the light of Christ.

No matter how attractive my life is, or how wonderful GOD has blessed me, I am just a mirror that reflects GOD’s glory. The main purpose is to draw people near to GOD and not towards me.
I may be astonished at GOD’s doing in somebody’s life. I just realised that he/she is a mirror. Reflection of mirror can brighten up the surrounding, but mirror itself does not emit light. Yupe, I want to follow GOD, not mirror. If we become the follower of mirror, once the mirror is broken, our belief is varnished together with the broken pieces.

Please read psalms 19:14 before proceed reading.
A wolf was caught by a trap. Although he escaped successfully, he lost his tail. From that day onwards, he was laughed and teased by friends, and this made him feeling rather upset. Thus, he thought of ways so that other wolves become the same as him, tail-less. If everyone was tail-less, then he won’t feel that different from them.
So, he gathered his friends and advised them sincerely to "take away" their tails. He said, “How nice it is without tail, weight reduces, movement also becomes very easy-going.” One of the wolves interrupted and said, “My dear friend, if not only you lost your tail, would you still advise us like this?”
This story tells us not to force other people to be in the same shoes as us, thinking that they will only grow if they experience the same as us. GOD let us have our very own special experience, not to let us being boastful about it, instead, for us to learn humbly from the experience.
I have no fellowship life since young and i do long to have such memory when i saw my friends happily enjoy their days, especially during Christmas month. Keep recalling back how my walk with GOD is these few days, how has actually GOD led me through ups and downs in life.....
Sometimes, i tend to forget pieces of pieces when i stand in the midst of people. How i find myself to be that tiny. I am short and I can’t see lots of things in just one sight, spectrum of sight is very limited. Growing background has made me a pampered girl, being protected from any unforeseen circumstances. Some friends say that it’s a good personality to develop as there are not many people having such personality. World has become so complicated that simplicity starts to fade in silence.
I am not that alert and observant to things happening around me. The title of “Working adult” is still not a phrase in my dictionary. It’s really hard for me to understand life of a working adult. In Career Cell Group, every brothers and sisters are unique in the ways that they are. One is divorced, one is illiterate, one is business-minded, and another one is girl-minded.... they are special in my eyes as i have never been with a circle of people of such personality and background.
I have been quite forceful for the past few months, bringing the past-self to this cell group. I know it’s somewhere not right but i just hardly accept..... think of one song ,”yong gan zou chu qu”........

Please read Luke 10:38-42 before you proceed with reading.
The verses bring us to the story of Martha and Mary. Both sisters have their very own personalities.
Jesus and his disciples are on the way to a village where they meet Martha and Mary. Martha and Mary are very surprised by his presence in their midst. Martha is very busy getting everything prepared for Jesus and his disciples. However, Mary, on the hand, is so calm and sat down to listen to what Jesus says.
Martha is unhappy with her sister’s attitude, she even asks Jesus to tell Mary to help up. But, in Jesus’s eyes, Mary has chosen what is better, that is to listen to his words rather than distracted to do other things just like Martha does.
Sometimes, we are so used to ‘live’ in a church till we lose the focus. What is the focus? What is your answer? I am sure there is one answer playing in your mind now. We always mention about serving GOD, but the main purpose of serving GOD is to draw us close to GOD, not serving or doing bombastic projects for HIM.
This short devotion material has led me to think about my relationship with GOD. Being in a new church and new cell group, i have been searching for the direction of serving, which area of serving is GOD putting me in? Thus, i look around seek around, what is GOD trying to tell me. It’s kind of struggle being in a totally new and different church/cg.
To my cg members, i guess they see me as a spiritual sister who wants to do the best for the church/cg. I don’t think this is a good impression as people won’t come to me for help as they will feel that i only talk about “GOD, GOD, GOD”. Really a pity when i think about this.
Not to say it’s wrong to lead bible study to lead any special event or to take part in any church/cg activities, but not to forget that everything that we do is to draw us close to GOD. We always say we must learn to serve GOD wherever we go, wherever we are. This has somehow led to wrong perception that, serving GOD is the priority out of all.
I always feel that there is something i can offer for improvement.
I always feel that I still have more potential to discover.
I always feel that I can do more than what I am doing now.
However, all these can’t be done without GOD’s grace and blessing. I forget that GOD is the one who is in control of everything, not me. GOD wants us to listen attentively to HIS words just like Mary does. Not like Martha who is busy around, losing the treasure that GOD has prepared ahead of us.
Sometimes, we may get “over-ss” as we already have the precious gift --- salvation that we forget to sit on HIS leg to listen to HIS story just like a small kid.

Last night went to bank to manage my monthly financial planning. I have been praying hard for da zhuan’s camp offering. During university life, it was not difficult when it came to offering as i always have remaining pocket money. Regardless of how much i spent every month, i had no worries of how much i manage to save each month.
November has just started, but i guess i have withdrew more than what i earned this month. I earned quite few this month due to unpaid leave for convocation holiday. I told prince lychee that i intended to offer a token of appreciation to da zhuan. He asked me to pray for the amount.
I pray again specially for this during Saturday prayer meeting. Tears rolling in my eyes and you guess what, prince lychee who was sitting beside me kacau me, saying like that also wanna cry. Refreshed back the moment in camp, juniors and even seniors stand up and out to shine. Their courage and faith touched me.
It was so rush that day that i didn’t bid goodbye with them. Sorry about that. I came to this camp with an excited but heavy heart. Indeed, the pushing force for me to be there is because I miss tuan qi brothers and sisters so much. Guess this would be the only camp after graduation where I know most of the seniors and juniors.
We always share about widow’s offering. But to be frank, i can’t understand thoroughly her feeling. Last night, two transactions was involved, one for da zhuan, one for my own account. Prince lychee who stood beside me suddenly came out with a sentence that struck me. “You give that much for tuan qi, and yet left so little for yourself, you are still the same, always give more to others”. I stared at him, not knowing what to say~
I just taught The Lord’s prayer yesterday in Sunday School. “Give us today our daily bread....”, I do hesitate to offer the amount that keeps playing in my mind.... however, GOD in His very own and wonderful way, told me to “fang shou” and let him be the provider.
I offered all the remaining of my salary and there are few weeks to number before December. No worries ya, what I have is more than enough. >_< I pray that the offering is used to the fullest to bless brothers and sisters. Although it’s just a penny, I believe GOD will somehow multiply it. Story of widow’s offering becomes more significant now, not just merely a story out of many stories.
All i have is from GOD and it’s an experience for me to fully rely on HIM as my provider. I love tuan qi and GOD love me more than that.

Yeah, I am back from Kemamam, my very 1st business trip with manager and colleagues.
After coming back, my mood is super duper good. Counting GOD’s blessings every move I make. Plus, it was raining when i popped out of my blanket this morning. This business trip was not merely for work purpose; instead i enjoy scenery that comes into picture, every piece of sharing with colleagues.
Dear friend, now I am a working adult and yet I feel like I am pampered in office. Wakaka. I went out with two big brothers and they really take very good care of me. Both of them kept buying food + titbits to eat. Four-to-five hours of journey was relaxing as we shared lots of childhood memory. My manager even shared his pre-pakto history with us, very funny and movie-like.
I had a very filling breakfast. My favourite roti bakar wor....i ate quite a lot. Hai Peng Kopitiam, heard that it’s well-known in Kemamam. Had my 1st full cup of kopi and mini-sized nasi dagang....hehe....
Bought 30 packets of keropok, ‘kongsi’ with colleagues 20 packets, promise to bring some for Pangkor camp. Yeah! Can’t imagine how enjoyable the sharing time with No.1 keropok in hand.
Almost forget that today is Friday. Tonight will attend Mrs.Chua’s wake service at Nirvana Memorial Park. Although not knowing her that much, the purpose I go there is to pray for her and her family. This kind of scenario gives hard impact to me as it reminds me to appreciate each and every breath that GOD gives me. Rev Chua is surely very sad and for your information, he was the one who baptised me last year.
Tomorrow is another exciting journey for me ---- theology class on religion. Prince Lychee has sudden business trip to Sibu, thus not joining for the 1st class.
P/S: Ding dong ding dong is in the air. May GOD bless the class and strengthen those who prepare and join. Ding dong ding dong is back to foyer lembaran. I took up the 1st wave, ended, here comes 2nd wave. Reminding every one of us that ding dong ding dong is not carrying Apple Sis's shadow, let it shines in GOD's glory ya. Encourage brothers and sisters to grow deep in GOD together.

This week is considered a free-and-easy week for me. No due date to meet.
Thank GOD for comforting me whenever i need HIM. I have a book in my hand, Take it to heart. It is a good devotional book whereby every article is accompanied with a few bible verses to support. I flicked through it again....
I have worries in my mind now. Not knowing how to take it.
Morning call this morning somehow has distracted me. I can’t concentrate even when i am chatting with my colleagues. I typed out the prayer item which is the previous post.
I am so thankful that I have a circle of Christian colleagues in Yokogawa. Although we don’t officially meet each other, we know there is always someone in office supporting us anytime. I share the prayer item with Yokogawa Christian loop, and I receive a few emails from them encouraging me to be strong and will also keep me in prayer. How great is our GOD to gather us in one family.
Tomorrow is another exciting trip for me. Kemamam, a new place in my dictionary. Gonna pack my good mood there. I got my own room with everything equipped, 32” TV, coffee & tea maker, air-cond, wifi etc, should enjoy it with good mood, right?
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous be shaken.
Psalm 55:22
Xiao ping guo, be strong and continue to ‘super-glue’ smile on your face. Remember that GOD always make you smile so that you smile at others.
Thank GOD for comforting me whenever i need HIM. I have a book in my hand, Take it to heart. It is a good devotional book whereby every article is accompanied with a few bible verses to support. I flicked through it again....
I have worries in my mind now. Not knowing how to take it.

Good morning everyone.
Another month ended and here comes the new month.
I called back home this morning jubilantly, however, ended up with sadness.
My aunty was admitted into hospital last week and now my uncle was admitted last night, around 11pm.
Their days are numbered and I feel sorry for this.
They are now in Sarikei, Sarawak and I am living far away from them, not being able to fly back.
My dad is not feeling well, but he denies to go for medical check-up etc.
Many of my father’s family members passed away due to cancer.
Tomorrow I will be going to Terengganu for working purpose.
It is a good opportunity for me to go out and explore but I welcome this news down-heartedly.
I pray that I am strong enough to go through this.
Do keep me in prayer. Thanks a lot.
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Psalm 23:1
GOD bless.

Another sharing from me.
Somehow i was not that happy yesterday. My mood swings these few days and i guess Prince Lychee suffers a lot. I am not sure why i let my mood swings just like that, just I don’t find joy in it, although it’s something that i enjoy doing every day.
I told Prince Lychee about it. To him, it’s a small matter, small dao....
To forgive, to forget, both are hard to make it. However, i think it’s even harder to forget than to forgive. I am too “small gas” to throw away my happy mood because of a small thing.
When i searched through google for a picture, i found this meaningful phrase.
====== Give to Get =====
I gonna forgive someone, to be specific i should forgive myself to be so “small gas”.
Do you experience the same thing as me? Hope that the torn in your heart can be thrown away.
I know this will leave behind a scar.....Please don’t let the scar gets over your life, let GOD hands it.

Today I reach office at around 7.45am, spending 45 minutes to read spiritual book. Yeah, i start with another new book, namely “Take it to heart” Chinese version (ba ni fang zai wo xin shang). It has a very attractive cover page, scratch-typed drawing with kiddie picture.
It’s a 60-days devotional book. The one that i would like to share is about “Smelling HIM”.
The title sounds a bit weird to me. The content is a simple article. A lot of friends around me are not confident with Christianity because they can’t see Jesus, a person who can’t be “touched” by hands. I believe you as Christian would tell them that you can feel Jesus deep in your heart, right? Yeah, you got it.
We can breathe because of oxygen, but can you see it? Nope, you can’t but you know the presence of oxygen. No people who can’t find GOD, just that they don’t confess the truth. GOD uses different ways to show HIS glory to us, HE doesn’t hide it from us indeed. HE is so jubilantly to show us all about HIM.
Moment of silence : reminisce the piece of memory whereby you strongly feel the presence of GOD
I watched out of the lonely window. There is greenery just outside the office. I can see birds chirping, flying joyously in the air. I can see blue sky, softy floating cloud..... all the creation of GOD. GOD is everywhere. This really makes me “YAHOO” silently in my heart. Wakaka. As usual, i end with a prayer. Prayer seems to become a norm in my life, words of prayer repeated by itself, which is something pity. I gonna start all over again refreshed...to build intimate relationship with GOD anew.
I remember the very 1st prayer that I prayed in loud was with bro watermelon. Guess he is growing very healthily now, praise the LORD. From that day onwards, i tell myself to keep praying for others, whenever i feel the needs to do so. Friends, do not be afraid to pray in loud ya. May GOD bless you through the journey.
Has you smell GOD today? I can ensure you that it’s a great thing to start your Monday. Hopefully your moment of silence is as fragrant as a rose. Enjoy it ya~

Good morning everyone. Hope that you have a great start of Wednesday.
I feel that I am a great eater, being choosy at times. Hehe. Piece of cake doesn’t mean buying or baking a cake to enjoy. Instead, it’s something that satisfies my taste bud.
I am not so sure whether you can have this type of dish outside or not. Fried chicken with Pandan leaves. It turns out to be very tasty wor. Of course got secret in chicken seasoning...
Let's see the "outfit" of the "koko kek"
Ok, start working lo~

最近看了一本书,书名为《遇见。爱》,super好看。
里头诉说着六位艺人的故事,他们如何遇见耶稣这份爱。他们就是鼎鼎大名的吴建豪,六月,黑人,梁文音,Tank,蔡燦得和杨佑宁七位艺人。
这本书是《真情部落格》节目企划出版的书。书中七位艺人的真心表白让我感动不已。差不多每一小段落就会想掉泪。他们的生命旅程并不是我们在电视荧幕前所看到地那么亮丽,他们的背后的事才是真正让人鼓舞的一首歌,一部戏。。。
我万万没想到原来。。。
吴建豪曾经那么孤单,夜里辗转难眠,有一晚他说:如果这个世界真有一位神愿意赐给他一夜好眠,那么他就愿意相信他。过了那一夜的熟睡,他就寻找心里的那一位神。我唯一追看的一部偶像剧,就是《流星花园》,他在里头演美作,那时他头发直到,还是现在比较帅啦。他让我很感动的是,他如何带领他亲爱的妈妈信主,双手握住妈妈的手做决志祷告的Van Ness,让我心里充满了酸溜溜的泪水。他,生活在花花世界的一位弟兄,找到在上帝眼中的自己。他的故事也让我不小心发现喂喂小弟部落格的《MOGLOS》如何来的,你们想知道,就自己去问他啊~
六月,起初看到这个名字,还不知道是谁,看了里头的照片,就“哦,就是有演《意难忘》的”。一位得过金钟奖最佳女主角的女孩。。。六月生在一个破碎的家庭,父母离异后,就由她的阿姨带大。她曾经口袋里只剩下五十元,去哪里都是双脚为她奔波。她妈妈吸毒的新闻让她的世界忽然黑暗起来,开始封闭自己,几乎夜夜难睡,得靠安眠药才能入睡,一直一直哭。期间,她妈妈常常打电话给她,永远第一句话就是:你有没有钱,我没有钱了。她儿时被爷爷奶奶强逼受洗,不过她并不明白其中的意义。她说她跟着朋友到处去拜拜,她形容当时简直就是:有香就拿,见庙就拜。六月不去找上帝,上帝却来找她了。上帝派来天使带领她回到教会,她第一次回到教会唱诗歌,才哼了两句,就开始大哭。。。就这样,慢慢的,她的生命开始与上帝相扣在一起了。
黑人,看到他的名字,就想到《最重要的决定》这首歌,还有他与范范让很多人羡慕的恋情。还没看这本书,我觉得应该是范范带领他信主的(事实是范范的妈妈带领他信主的)。也非常38想知道他的灵命成长。虽然里头并没有很详细诉说他与主相遇的过程,不过,让我看到一位一直在寻找父亲背影的黑人。在他创业当中,他不忘把荣耀归给上帝,我想这是很多人难以做到的。有一句话吸引到我,是一位小女孩说的:医生说我的生命只剩下一点点,可是我还想活着,因为我好热爱我的生命。。。如果是你,你会怎样呢?
还有近日红了的梁文音,会知道这位艺人,是因为云儿妹妹分享的《那双看不见的手》。十三岁住进育幼院,应该是类似孤儿院那样的场所,而且她是自己要去的。10岁时,她爸爸就意外身亡,妈妈酗酒,精神不稳定,小小的身躯,带着弟弟,抱着无助的心灵去育幼院。书里写着,她相信一件事,而且非常确定---她正是被上帝“使用”的人,所以她清楚知道她活着的目的。多么有魄力的一句话。。。也让我思考着我活着的目的。。。并不是一定要经历过什么坎坷的道路才会紧紧跟随着主,相信上帝,不是因为祂可以为我们行什么“哇”的事,反之,信祂就因为祂是上帝。最近我也是问自己好多问题,重整跟随神的脚步~
还有一位TANK,吓到我的是他和他姐姐患有先天性的心脏病。他姐姐突然过世,让他害怕在继续下去,哪怕下一个离开的就是他。他说了一句好深奥的一句话:原来一颗心受伤时为了要更有勇气,原来勇气是因为失去才有意义。嗯,你看明白其中的意思吗?嗯,我不知道,所以不要问我啊。呵呵。
他们的故事就分享到此。。。
看了这本书,让我更珍惜我的生命以及我所拥有的。万物都有时。。。
我的心很软,不过性格有时还蛮倔强下。常不允许自己浪费时间,像每天一定要看属灵书籍,睡前一定要读经差不多一个小时,房间每天都要收拾,客厅厨房地板每天都抹。。。弄到有一阵子我每天都好像很忙,甚至还念荔枝王子用时间看那么多戏。他超爱看戏,而且我却是不会把时间消耗在戏(ShSh…卡通片不算数)中。
他也讲了我好多次,叫我不要那么固执,一定要每天抹地什么。在家,每一餐后,我都习惯性把饭厅和厨房都抹干净,所以咯。最严重的一次,短短的下午傍晚,我抹差不多五次,我爱吃巧克力也没爱到有巧克力的脚印在地板嘛。慢慢的,我也松懈下来,有一些改变啦,读经也不逼自己一定要看那么久。现在的我,差不多十点半我就开始爱睡了,是好是坏哦?
近期阅读着《上帝的情书》,上班前的半个小时就是慢慢咬嚼上帝的甜言蜜语咯。呵呵。所以,才会那么好心情上班咯~大家也要开心上班+上课哦,别赖床了啦!!
