How Can I?
After the first post of the day, I viewed my blog, there and then only I saw today's date! GUESS WHAT? It's WAN KEEN's BIRTHDAY! Oh man, I nearly forgot. I'm gonna bring her out to buy a birthday cake later and celebrate with her as my 2 sisters are back. Yeah! They are just in time!
When I got to know it's her birthday, I was really amazed by God's grace! It's His grace that had brought her thus far. He helped her through her life's journey. All the protection, all the provision and all the love that people are showering upon her! Till here, tears are rolling down my cheeks. God is really faithful, whatever He gives, He'll take care. He gave us Wan Keen and He has not been pausing the blessing. He's such a good God and He does what He promises.
Wan Keen went through a lot. She went through rejections from the people around her, her peers and even her teachers. I understand that it's not easy to accept her. She couldn't help when she couldn't find a way to communicate, she suffered from a lot of stress when people around her couldn't understand her. She did not understand anything about danger and she nearly knocked down by car few times. She was lost because she did not know what to expect. Thanks to those people to discover this Visual Strategy that she started to know how to bathe with visual guidance. She understood her routines with visual guidance, she had less stress, as she knew what to expect.
She has talent in music and drawings, God enabled her to get the prize and this brought us joy too. She loves piano, she loves drums, guitars and she can make a tissue box guitar and make music from there too, just with rubber bands. We were so amazed. She is such a talented gal.
This brought me to sing this song again: I'll sing to You Lord, a hymn of love, for Your faithfulness to me, I'm carried in everlasting arms, You'll NEVER let me go! Halleluyah...

Weekdays Christian
I often heard people talking about Sunday Christians, which means, Christians will go to church, trying to be holy on that day, read the bible on that day, sing praises to God on that day, pray on that day and fellowship with each other on that day. Did I get the concept right?
Well, as for me, I think, I'm a weekdays Christians, I pray to God everyday, from Monday to Friday, I do my quiet time from Mondays to Fridays, almost without fail. When comes to weekends, well, I can't deny that I've activities in church still, but I often neglected my quiet time on these 2 days. It's so hard for me to get into it. During weekedns I can hardly focus except when I'm worshipping in church.
I'm following a series of bible study called 2:7 Series. I am required to do my journal for my Bible Reading Highlight Record for 14 consecutive days. Until now I still have not done. The reason is I only do my quiet time on weekdays, on and off I'll do it on weekends. Sigh... Some times this BRHR thing really make feel that I'm a failure. hahaha... Discipline problem I know. That's what Kok Ming always says about me.

Solution?
Almost one week later. This is what happened. His mum bought a helmet for him as a protection. If you do not know what kinda helmet is this, let me tell you. It's a Taekwando helmet. I'm not sure if it's called helmet though :) It's very soft, but I'm not sure if it's suitable for him.
So sad to see him like that. I'm gonna meet up with his mother on Monday! I wanna question her as well as check with her about his condition, wanna check his medication and the frequency of his fits. I hope after the meeting his mum, they'll start charting the frequency of his fits. So that we will be able to see the pattern.
Pray for protection over him. My heart still ache when I see him.

Through It All
Through It All
You are forever in my life
You see me through the seasons
Cover me with Your hand
And lead me in Your righteousness
And I look to You
And I wait on You
I will sing to You, LordA hymn of love
For Your faithfulness to me
I'm carried in everlasting arms
You'll never let me go
Through it allHallelujah,
hallelujah
I'm stuck with this song lately. I think I've been singing this song for almost two to three weeks already. I trust that God will help me through all things. I really trust that God will never let me go. I hope my loved ones will be able to know this truth too. God is always with us. He has been helping us without making it known to us. Well, I mean, He protects us everyday even if we do not ask him to, He provides for us everday, every hour, every minute and every second, breath to take and energy to use.
We are so awful because we are using things that He provides for us and we thought it comes naturally. We get those things without even contributing anything in the first place. It wasn't us who created the air, the earth, the sky and the energy that we are using and experiencing now, they are all from God.
Then we turn everything original to spicy until we can't take it. Look at the pollution nowadays, look at the weather nowadays. It's kinda sad to see that and to know that we humans are so D*** We thought we are God really. And now people come up with recycle stuff etc to help protect the earth. This is what God calls, we are sinners. But God gives us second chance, He want us to turn to Him and we will be cleansed. And when we get closer to Him, we will try to sin less. This is the ultimate solution.

Hate Hemoroid Hate
Ahaha...It's my fourth post of the day. hehe... Too long did not post anything here. I was just so lazy to get online. Haiz...
I was so stressful last week, I think it was last week. i wasn't in good shape and I was having a lot of health problem. I... I... I...even had Hemoroid. Man, I was kinda freaked out by this thing. If you know about Hemoroid. It usually happens when you open bowel right? But for me, it not only happened when I opened my bowel. It happened when I urinate also. Man, I thought it was my menses but it was not!
Yeah, I did not handle my stress well. But now it was gone already. No more bloody thing! Hmmm... Thanks for those who prayed for me! So glad that it's gone now! I don't wanna see this happen again! Oh please! Not again!
Pen vs. Pencil
When did I start using pen? I remember I started using pen when I was in standard 4. It was a compulsory thing. So every homework or anything that we write, we were not allowed to use pencil. I mean when we did it in the exercise books. Of course when we copied notes into our personal notebook, it wasn't a problem.
I remember very well what my teacher commented on somebody or it maybe me. I'm not very sure. Yeah, I think it was me. I wasn't confident enough to use pen to write the answer most of the time I think. So I'll use pencil to write it down first. So the teacher said," When you are doing this, it reflects your level of confidence."
This comment came back to me when one of my colleagues was telling me what had happened to her yesterday. yesterday was a hectic day for her. She got a few reports to write but she did not have enough time. So she thought of bringing the files back to complete them. But she was not bringing it home to write the reports. She thought she would complete them in her car while waiting for her son to finish tuition. Some how, she forgot to bring a pencil along and her son had got only one mechanical pencil. So she couldn't do it. She brought the files back today. She was quite frustrated with her son because he has only one pencil in his pencil case. She was thinking what if that machanical pencil is broken or missing, how is he gonna do his work in school or tuition center.
You may wonder why not she use pen? Haha... Actually, she is the only one who uses pencil in our center because she has no confidence to write with a pen. I heard her story before I went to toilet. When I was in the toilet, this thought came to me. Look at the characteristic of a pen and a pencil, it reflects the intensity of confidence also. The mark than a pen makes is more solid. And the mark of a pencil is weak. No matter how dark the pencil lead is, sooner or later it will look weaker than the mark of a pen.
It's just a random thought.

*SOB*
This is a child with Epilepsy. He was diagnosed to have fits last year when I noticed his eye balls jumping up and down non stop and when we called him, he did not give any response. But he looked conscious. Last year after seeing him fits like that, we suggested the mother to bring him to the doctor. And true enough, he had it. Sad!
He was still fine until his fits got serious. Whenever he fits, he will tend to fall forward. When he fits, he cannot control his body, so he will always knock his head on the table no matter where he is. It can happen when he is walking, sitting or eating. Not long ago, he already knocked his front tooth off.
Last thursday, it was my turn to teach him, without any notice, he knocked his head on the table. I was shocked by him. Well, that wasn't serious and i started to worry about him. Yesterday, he came in the morning, every morning we will open our day with a prayer together, so I prayed for him and hoping that the Lord will protect him. When he arrived, what we saw was what the photo is showing. My tears nearly flowed down. My heart was like bleeding. When I was teaching him, I really couldn't imagine how he suffered. My heart really ache.
Sigh!!! WHY??! But thank God for keeping him save.
