Prayer List

They might not be Christians and they might not know I am praying for them, but I feel these few people close to my heart really need support of some kind. It's not necessarily help that they want because sometimes one just has to find the way unassisted and we can only watch on with our eyes willing them to succeed.

SHU MEI - I know it's a hard blow, especially with the distance. I can only hope you can get closure and find strength in God's love. Take care my friend, I'm still storing that hug you wanted for when you get back.


MUM - It's been a tough 2007 for the family and we've had to make adjustments and sacrifices in order to keep on going. However, being the eldest daughter meant things were particularly harder on my mother and I am guilty of not being around to support her. People ask if family is the reason I am going back to Singapore after graduating and that is a definite "yes". For the 25 years since I've been born, only 9 of them have been spent with my Mum. 11 if you add in the holidays when I get to go home. It's time. Time to go home. Time to be a son, brother and man.


DAD - Fighting with stage 2/3 cancer has been a huge drain on my dad both physically and mentally. Things are looking up after the latest bout of chemotherapy and he even felt well enough for a getaway trip to Genting. May he get a full recovery.


CLARENCE - Things are kind of at a crossroads for you right now and the position as well as timing of everything does nothing to improve the situation too. Stressful as it may be, these are decisions and choices you cannot put off. Put your foot down and get off the fence because for better or worse, you'll finally wrench yourself out of this static limbo. Don't worry. You know we'll be there if you do fall and you can count on me for "a pint".


EE NIAN - Little fresher, don't be overly stressed. These sort of things are part of life, but they are fleeting and never last long. Endure through the gruelling first round and your mind will clear after that with the path to walk made plain. You have another 2 years ahead, so just take everything in stride and don't lose focus on why you're here to begin with. Don't worry, I have high hopes of you absorbing my whole 武林密集 and enjoying U.K immensely.


ML & RB - My Brothers, what else can I say. You are both equally important to me and I am very grateful that neither one of you has forced me to make a choice between you two. It's a choice you know I can't make. Things are looking bleak and the rift seems bigger with each passing day. It pains me to see how things are now in Singapore. Is there really no working out the differences? This awkward silence is stifling and surely some part of you wants to resolve it as well? The two of you practically grew up together with Jook as the backdrop of your childhood. Deep inside, you must miss each other.
