My gratitude to the men I admire in life…

Lastnight somethg bad happened in my family thus my emotion was affected. I turned to be very blue and grumpy. I spent a few minutes cooling down myself trying to resist the negative thoughts that kept penetrating my mind. There seemed to have endless flashbacks way back in unimas… the hardships I endured and when I was at my loneliest corner… all the while I will always remember a few brothers who had made a great impact in my life. I was involved in the university ministry serving together with some nice brothers in church. I really missed those greatimes with them. The sarcastic jokes, the insults we throw at 1 another and of course not forgetting words of encouragement too.

They helped to make me realized what is brotherly care, love and support means. To tell the truth, although I have a same-blooded brother who is 3 yrs older than me BUT I have not been loved and cared properly by him. We rarely talk to each other, if I would wan2 count how may words we chatted I am very sure not more than 5 words in a week. It is counted by WORDS & not SENTENCE here. So, from here can rely tell we don’t talk to each other at all by fact. A lot of my frend couldn’t comprehend the kinda distance we have. I have always admired and got envy with my best frend who has brothers to take care of n love her.

But I still thank God that at least He has allowed me to experience what is called brotherly love from these ppl who I wanna send my gratitude to…whther or not you guys would glimpse thro my blog here.

TO: Brother BING – I wanna thank you for all the tiny bookmarks, greeting cards and words of encouragement tht you’d given me. I am still keeping all of them. I still remember you were the 1^st unimas guy who talked with and entertained me when I joined the Sunday service. I was so lonely and moody then, but you took the time to approach me and made frends with me. The scene was still very vivid to me. It rely made my heart warmth by just a simple ‘hi’ n shook hands with me. You’d help me to arrange those game thg when I couldn’t join the annual camp trip. You’d let your motorbike 2 gave me rides to campus in the mornings and during prayer meetings whenever you happened to drop by sisterhouse. You’d always be the one who started off the greeting lines whenever we met. You are always so positive and friendly to all. You are such a hardworking, people-oriented, wonderful bro who had given me so much supports and brotherly love. You are the only brother who would initiate to keep in touch with me after I had left unimas & Hope ministry. Although I have only known you for abt 3yrs I had received & learnt much from you. Thank you so much again bro, although you are now in Sibu I rely hope that we could still meet in the future…haha I’ve always ask you when are u gonna get married? Well, to tell the truth I got a litt’ envy with

ur

future partner (whoever she may be) cos you will surely be a good husband. & I’d pray to God for my future partner at least should have some qualities like yours haha…

TO:  Brother YongSeng (hey batu) remember our 1^st caregrp BATU! That’s our tagline haha… thanks for all the computer knowledge and FOC reparations you did. There was once u got scolded becos u stayed too long in sisterhouse till midnite just to repair my condemned pc. And thanks for your gift as you will never forget to bring back any souvenirs to me each time u came bck from traveling. Thanks for all you effort in building up our caregrp, Jesus will record them down although at times we might not notice your hard works.

TO:  Bro Andy our (hou zi mui) that was what most ppl like to call him cos his character rely like zimui haha… you too hav taught me much in the IT knowledge and thanks for the free repair too. I know you are a computer genius who likes to operate the PC without a device left behind…pity the pc…
