"It is a time when one's spirit is subdued and sad, one knows not why; when the past seems a storm-swept desolation, life a vanity and a burden, and the future but a way to death."- Mark Twain

And so today I went to a church of my friend. Its called Living Sanctuary Brethen Church in Hougang. Passed by that place many many times but did not it was called that. Anyway, the service timing is great for people like us who likes to sleep in a bit. Its 11.15am and it ends around 1pm so good length of service.

The worship is great as usual. When I say as usual, I meant that worshipping God is always great, no matter what the environment is. It is pretty much the same format like Charis and even COOS but mellower than COOS but as I said, that does not matter as far as worshipping God is concerned.

But I thank God for bringing me there today as the message strikes a chord in my heart. It bascially talks about our relationship between our parents and children.

Malachi 4:6 (New International Version)

"He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse."

That was one of the verses mentioned. But what strikes me is when the pastor mentioned that as Children, we should not find fault with our parents but to appreciate them and not take them for granted.

That brought tears to my eyes. The only reason why I did not break down and cry was the unfamiliar enevironment I was in but I know God knows how much it hurts. There are many things I really wanted to say and to do with my Dad but I could not anymore. It is true that I always look at my Dad and found fault in him and to be honest, I do not even remember whether I have said "I love you" to him while he was alive.

The wounds and hurts are still fresh because afterall it is only 5 months since he passed away. Images of him flashes past in my mind. How he felt before he died and I always wondered in his last final moments, did he utter for help from God. Would I see him in Heaven or because of what I did not do as a son, he may be suffering eternity in hell.

It is really painful to know that I have focus so much all my 31 years of life on myself, my own goals and dreams that I have neglected my parents. I called myself a devoted christian but yet I forgot the commandment of honouring my parents.

But yet today's message, while it reminded me of regrets in my life but it also brought on God's positive prompting to focus on my Mum. There is nothing to change the fact that my Dad passed away but I can always do something to change what I can do for my Mum.

And I am determined to do that.

On a lighter note, the English Premier League has started again. My weekends nights will be filled with meaning again haha. Just joking but football is a sport I really enjoyed watching. Been supporting Liverpool since I was 7. It runs in the family. So I hope this is a good season for us to finally win the 19th title that has eluded us for so so long.

LIVERPOOL FOR THE WIN!

Just me--

I am difficult to understand and I hate to be understood. I am best left alone. Just be my friend but do not ever try to show me that you understand me better than myself. I am a loyal person and everyone is my friend until he or she chooses not to be. Actually that is quite easy to understand right. If you hit the right note with me, you will find me very easy going.

I love music. And I love writing music and jamming with my band. Music has accompanied me through the worst times of my life. I thank God for that gift.

I am different and I am not afraid to be different. I hate politically correct people. Its alright to be courteous but not right to be a hypocrite.

I am funny. I love to be funny. I am not afraid to make fun of myself to bring laughter to others. I love making others happy. But I am not a clown.

*Try and scare me*
