:) :) :)
BECAUSE ITS THE DAY, we Christians Celebrate the RESURRECTION of our Lord, Jesus Christ!!! :D :D :D
*my dajie asked me " wheres my easter choc egg? " :P
-
i finally knew what my fear was;
we were ask of our fears at service today as we sang the song "because he lives" and as i sang, i knew my greatest fear then. the fear and doubt that has always surrounded me.. causing all the unhappiness, anger, hatred, pain.
at that moment, everything seems so clear, so simple, so true. and i asked God to stand with me thru them all, that moment, today, tomorrow and thru my fear.
:)
-i reallllly can smellllllll the stench of exams..
Over the conversation of this special day, i was told the story of BENHUR.
:)
as meaningful and well told it was to me.. i was reminded of the great stories then, and our lord's great love for us.
and on the a side note.. i was warmth by my bro inlaw who shared. and i understood y my dajie chose him to grow old with!
and it made me remembered i once met sum1 who often shared with me such, taught and explained to me stories of then.. ; i think i understood y it was him then. recalling the details of the movie -The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, Angela's AShes etc..
' i always wanted to say thankYOU...
* i read this sumwher :
Why do we call it ‘Good’ Friday?
Calling the day of the Crucifixion ‘Good’ Friday is a designation that is peculiar to the English language. In German, for example, it is called Karfreitag. The Kar part is an obsolete word, the ancestor of the English word care in the sense of cares and woes, and it meant mourning. So in German, it is Mourning Friday. And that is what the disciples did on that day—they mourned. They thought all was lost.
I’ve read that the word good used to have a secondary meaning of holy, but I can’t trace that back in my etymological dictionary. There are a number of cases in set phrases where the words God and good got switched around because of their similarity. One case was the phrase God be with you, which today is just good-bye. So perhaps Good Friday was originally God’s Friday. But I think we call it Good Friday because, in pious retrospect, all that tragedy brought about the greatest good there could be.
I can see virtue in either terminology. If we call it Mourning Friday, as in German, we are facing reality head on, taking up the cross if you will, fully conscious that the Christian walk is seldom a walk in the park. But if we call it Good Friday, as in English, we are confessing the Christian hope that no tragedy—not even death—can overwhelm God’s providence, love, and grace. Either way seems fine to me!

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes That call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing through my open ears exciting and inviting me Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns It calls me on and on across the universe

i felt sore. so sore over realising such.
its tough. to be inbetween. this tym.. i did it just to make myself feel beettter... but. i ended up causing more upsets.
i hate obligations.
m i a full tym student? m i ??????
is it me or them.?.
buuurrrrr... im boiling. n was complaining to the world! oh naggy me! :)
this is the umpteen-th time im writing about life and death.
i'm actually watching Lydia Sum's farewell ceremony, live on CH48 now. it wasnt intentional. im doing sum work n was channel surfing..
its a long ceremony, i off it midway just now.. n now i turned it bk on..
its making my tears roll dwn. not the speeches, not the tales frm the doctors, her frens. thou her daughter's speech on her mum being her 'shooting star'.. and her mum's real self on n off screen.. with her hair she calls hat', her specs she call 'spectacular'... made me listened and teared..
but the realheartfelt pain is now.. when ppl are walking up this huge stage. giving flowers.. shaking her daughter's hand.. hugging her.. kissing her.. whispering words of love.. tons n tons of ppl. i saw artist.. many many.. but what caught me crying so hard now..
is the smile on her daughter's face'
her daughter. she is the closest. the only love. her child. but she held her mother's brave happiness on her face this moment. i think the walkup will last for more then an hour.. n her smile is hanging on there..
i feel for her this moment.
She is an amazing artist. her child is an amazing woman. she will be very proud.
:)
lets embrace life this very moment. and cheer for all who loved and shared happiness to all.
To: lydia sum's daughter;
its not gonna be easy. tmr its gonna be harder then today. but i really feel that u did very well. and your mother is smiling from above. she wouldnt be expecting any. but i guess she would love to see u be happy again soon.
holding on and letting go. harder then the other. may the moist pillow tonite bring you a better day tmr.
u shld live ur life better each day now, because u r living ur mother's life too.. u r her extension of her love for life. just like the extension of god's love in many ways.
