A Short Note of Thank You

Thank you Lord,

For all the PBLs that You've guided me and my group mates through.

Thank you Lord,

For the 3 MAs that You've led me through.

Thank you Lord,

For the wisdom and strength to get me through till today in Med.

Thank you Lord,

For partially opening a door for me,

If it were to be the way, open it all for me.

Thank you Lord, All praise to You.

ほんとに、ありがと神さま。

Goals of Life

Night was the time of peace, when I can just lie down and forget about everything. Daymare struck me hard rather. Becoming a contradiction of the ruling of light over darkness, I left my manichean views of life behind. I am languorous. Really am. But then I have no means of giving up. I don't want to be scum of society, not even a nihilarian. I'm working hard, toiling, not to the extent of drugding though. For one purpose, that goal I've set. But for now, let me just ease myself in slumber land. As the moon sets, the sun will rise again. Then I shall continue the journey that I'm so near yet so far away.

I know my goals. Goals of my life. That is to honour Him with medicine and music, and to bring healing to the world. That is my goal set for life.

Yup, Pharmaco is sucking me dry.

A New Song

A New Song

Lyrics and Music by Johnny Tiong

Verse 1:

Lord, we're living in Your grace,

Every night and day,

We bow before Your throne.

Every tongue, every nation,

Shall lift Your name up high,

For You're worthy, You're worthy.

Verse 2:

Lord, Your love has filled our hearts,

Every night and day,

Spreading Your unfailing love.

Every tongue, every nation,

Declaring in one voice,

That You are Lord of Lords,

King of Kings, our God.

Chorus:

And I will sing to You a new song,

For You're worthy to be praised,

I will lift my voice to glorify Your name.

And I will sing to You a new song,

To tell about Your love,

And here I stand,

Singing a new song, for You.

Remind me

Why am I here,

In this grotesque and debauched place.

Why am I suffering.

The sorrows, and pain that is lavishing on me.

Why am I caring,

For the world which doesn't give a dang about me?

Why am I doing the things,

Which I am feeling so burdened and weary?

Why.....

Remind me,

Of the languished and needy,

Of the abhorred and rejected.

Remind me,

Of the sorrow and hatred that fills the world today.

Remind me,

That I'm trying to change the world for the better,

With the hands that You've given me.

Remind me,

That it's You who I'm doing all these for.

Remind me Lord,

Remind me.

A Taxi Driver

He drove his little car: deformed, dented at areas, the sorrel seats are fading. From one place to another. He comply to others' request. Humble, and obligate. That is the life of a taxi driver.

He didn't whine. Not even a single day. During sunny day he endured the heat, rainy days he withstood the sharp-edged rain drops. In fact, his old faithful car withstood all these with him, as if it were made of perdurable materials. Passengers vary: friendly and not-quite-so friendly; young and old; clerks to highly respected professions.

People pass him by, or rather, he passes people by. He remembers all the passengers, all their stories, destinations, goals. Yet he is forgotten by all. An insignificant figure in others life, yet it's vice versa for him.

He doesn't complain, nor wants to be remembered or famous. This is his life. To serve, so that others can be happy. This is his life......

.......as a taxi driver.

Holidays

Sunset, sun down. I was gazing at the horizon. A line was separating the sky and the sea. Who knows what will happen if the line is breached. A humongous ball of fiery fire seems so insignificant from such a distance. As it sets, it sinks further and further into the sea, engulfed and swallowed. It was a pretty sight, picturesque. But it was just ephemeral.

It took a while till the sea engulfed the sun completely. The sky was no longer pretty. In the absence of Light, Darkness came and filled the land. Ironically, I was in subfusc. As if I were there literally to mourn for the going of the sun.

I sat there wondering. Truly inundated with questions. Is this the end of light? I was tired. I lied there, and blended with the darkness. I fell asleep.

Great, I've just wasted 2 days of my 9-day-break. 7 more days to go and I've literally not planned anything. Honestly, I'm lazy to do anything. Prob just sleep, study, exercise. Yeah, pretty routine.

KL is troublesome, seriously. In perth I can just hop on a Transperth and head to the city with train in like 20 mins at most. With lil human and traffic congestions. Here? I needa take a CAB *or wait till you drop for a stupid bus* and wait for another who-knows-how-long for the train. Not to mention bout the complex, web-style, routes of the train. here let me show you.

See? Its not my fault to be lost. =D Anyways, pretty much bored of KL. Wonder why many of you wanna come here to shop so badly. =/ Maybe I'm just lazy. But keep in mind that I'm a guy who can window shop for 4 hours straight. haha xD

My blog is pretty monotonous. Loads of words and pretty boring eh? xD well, thats how I am I suppose. My friend told me that my blog is kinda gloomy and sad. Well, you can say so. But I'm clarifying that every piece of work is signifying something. Just, I don't like to write it out directly using words, that will be boring right? Eg in manglish " Eh you know ah, gg leh, that guy ah, so sien man! Always say he so geng de. wanna slap him gao gao. Neh u know lah, that guy ah XXXXX....." Yeah. See how boring it is? And bear in mind, I don't use such language to portray myself and I'm definitely not so aggressive.

But thanks for the support, I'll still write on, whether its my own songs, or these so called 'literature' writings. =)
