A Tribute to my Grandfather

In loving memory, of my grandfather (1925-2004)

Grandpa, you'll be dearly missed by all of us.. We grieve as humans, but we rejoice as Christians, knowing that you're safe in the arms of the Lord in heaven. I really thank God that he passed away peacefully, without pain. I know this is only a temporary separation and we'll meet again one day in heaven.

God's grace is indeed sufficient. It is a miracle my grandpa did not feel any pain. Doctors were truly puzzled because the CT Scan showed otherwise. God was gracious to allow my grandpa to survive the journey back home, despite the low BP, in a comatose state. There's one verse that says, God will grant the desires of our heart. & God did. My grandpa's wish was to be home. when he reached home, we were all there beside him.. assuring him he was home. & at the last few moments. i think he regained consciousness & acknowledged that he was home, before he passed on peacefully. I also want to give God all the glory for bringing the family closer together.

My grandpa is a very S.I.M.P.L.E person. He doesn't demand much.. Little things can make him happy. He loves umbrellas. I remember me & my family, whenever we see an umbrella, we'll get one for him. & he receives it gladly. & proudly brings it wherever he goes. He doesn't ask for abalone, escargot.. He's satisfied with a simple plate of hokkien mee, steamed angel fish, hot cup of coffee, red bean soup. He is really a simple man, but one who is responsible & honest.

S - Sacrificial, he may be just a bus conductor. But he managed to bring up 6 lovely children, of
which one of them is my mom, a beautiful lady.
I - Independent, he's self-sufficient. He doesn't depend on others. He may not be highly
educated but he has his own principles..
M - Man of God, head of the house. A man that's able to command the respect of people. He may
not be the most refined man on earth, but I respect him for the person he is. I remember,
he always ask us to pray before we eat.. being a young Christian himself.
P - Presto! Fast! That's what he's like. He eats really fast, walks really fast. One of his very vivid
characteristics.. That I'll fondly remember.
L - Loving. He may not seem loving in our present context. But his love is true, especially
toward my grandmother. 55 yrs together! wow.. & he's really cute. he'll hold my grandma's
hands when they walk. an old man.. guys, learn!
Lastly,
E - Everything a grandpa should be. Period.

I love you, grandpa.

With love,
Christine

just came out of CSU. argh.. doctor-patient interview.. i'm conducting the interview but i'm feeling as if i'm the one going for the interview! haha.. don't know what to ask the patient!! cos
he always gives one worded answers. & IMU just had to have those irritating buzzers! oh well, but it was pretty ok lar.. thks for all ur prayers ppl! really appreciate them :)

ok, now i'm bck in the com lab.. hmm, my solace. hehe.. i think i need abt a wk, to slowly break the habit i cultivated during the hols.. the unhealthy routine of eat sleep tv computer.

oh yeah. happy birthday to jess & lina :)

it's my last day in JB :( that marks the end of my holiday..
reality bites! once school starts.. my results will be out..
& we have an interview session, agh!! i hope i won't be so rigid,
or burst out laughing midway. either way would score me a zero! haha..

this shld also mark the end of my unproductive routine (wake up @ 11am, eat, pc, eat, tv, eat, pc, sleep @ 2am) this wk.
i shld really start studying.. really.. ppl.. haha.. i need ur prayer & support.

right, that's abt it for now.. tata..

a very unproductive day

i woke up real late today.. felt so very guilty. as usual, my alarm has no effect on me. anyway, the moment i woke up, took my bath & my dad said we're going to kwsp, & ic deparmentt.. went to kwsp to get some money to pay IMU. sheesh... then only i realize..... that for my parents to put me into medical sch is not easy. felt so guilty... cos i still have 2 other brothers.. i think they spend almost everything on me.. honestly, i'm willing to give up PMS & go to seremban.. feel so bad that they feel oblige to send me abroad to study.. i'll just trust God will provide & see me through..

then i went 2 city square. haha.. 2 days in a row!! that's the only decent shopping complex in jb btw.. hehe.. wanted to go get a trim. but the boss there was so rude.. i mean really, i think he must've woke up on the wrong side of the bed or something.. like i always say.. if a person can't treat ppl nicely, he don't deserve to be in the service industry. sheesh, anyway, i walked out. good riddance!

anyway, came bck soon after & was glued to the tv for a good 5 hours.. at least! & here i am now.. in front of the computer.. oh, i did study a bit! kidney fx! haha.. not bad eh.. except, i don't really remember what i studied... oops!

oh yeah!! good news.. my grandpa's getting better now.. he's finally willing to be admitted to the hospital!! what a relief! i shld be going bck to kl tmr or friday to see him.. thank you Jesus!! for each day u've brought him through..

my family... in hillsongs church, sydney

miss my bed in jb!! it's so big n nice.. haha.. n my brinjal purple room! don't know what made me paint it that colour. hahaha... but anyway.. had the bestest sleep..

this morning at 8 am!!! i slept at 3 am last night btw, i went for breakfast with hui wearn & nick. hui wearn's leaving for beijing, china tonight! for a 3 mths attachment.. so nice huh.. i also want to go! hehe.. anyway, we had breakfast @ mc d's.. long time didnt eat there d.. it tasted pretty good lar. haha.. i sound so deprived..

then, the moment i reach home, my parents say let's go out for lunch.. haha.. terrible.. then we test drive kia carens. didn't really like it.. not that it matters. haha.. we're not buying it anyway, just browsing for fun. n guess what?? i saw this super chun bright red audi A4, 7 yrs old, only 63k!! it was sooooo nice.. was hinting my dad to get it.. i think my hint didn't get through. hahaha.. oh well.. at least i didnt ast for a bmw!

3 bimbos! : P 

it's sunday

my first blog ; )

reached JB at abt 12+am (technically it's monday) went to church.. pastor preached a really good msg.. inspiring.. i have "places to go & things to do". not meant to just sit arnd & do nothing!
then i went for lunch.. but my aunt called halfway, saying my grandpa's critical. we rushed all the way to setapak.. & spent some time with him. seeing him in that manner makes me really
"sam tong" cos i can't seem to help.. (& my chinese is very lousy, so got limited vocab) anyway, just held his hands.. stroke his legs.. hopefully he feels assured.. & said Jesus is here with u.. regretted i didnt spend more time with him when he was well.. anyway, appreciate ur parents & grandparents while they're still arnd..

guys, do pray for my grandpa.. i'd deeply appreciate it! i think i'll stop here.. *yawn* it's 230am already.. niteS
