CANDLE IN THE NIGHT

Inspired by candle in the wind

Deep in the woods..
A lone candle flickering in the dark night
The cold wind blew,but you stood firm
Ever faithful shining your light
Then came the heavy rain

And Snuff out the light

Atlas no more light flickering 

In the dark, dark night

LONELY GOAT YEAR

This is the 2nd day of chinese new year. I don't really enjoyed it as much as I did years ago.I suppose due to some changes in the family.Everyone has their own plan. Even my God daughter  was unable to pay me a visit due to her work. She is in a far away land .Wonder if she is ok. From her short answer to my post, it seems so cold and distant,unlike her normal greetings, full of love and warm.  Nothing I can do except wish her all the best . But I would have appreciate an answer or a clear message what she wants. It would do everyone some good and we can get on with our separate lives, instead of knocking at a door and not getting a response.

I maybe be over sensitive over the whole episode, but I am one who is very sensitive when it comes to things like this. I think lately I feel more than ever there is a wall between some of the people surrounding me. There is one instant where I gave a gift to someone whom I valued very much, but there was not even an acknowledgement which previously was done without fail. 

So I suppose I need to avoid doing things like this in order not to offend people. Well a fool never learnt as they says. That's me. 

Anyway I am very thankful, I am still able to hike and run a bit. The mountain does give me some solace.There I find it so peaceful. While everyone is still enjoying their chinese new year, I think I will go out to enjoy some mountain air tomorow.

To those celebrating the chinese new year. Happy Chinese New Year.  Huat Aah!

CHRISTMAS AWAY FROM HOME

Merry Christmas Everyone.
This year I am away all alone. My son who just got married is still on honey moon and will only return to work tomorrow. I will have to pick him up from the airport tomorrow. In the meantime it's just lonely me in my room facing the four walls.  This is the first time I am having christmas away from home and also missing church service. I am away from home due to work , I am now located at Kulai, a small town in Johore.I was suppose to meet a friend at scudai for a christmas service and since he did not confirm and I dont know the way there and so I deceived to go to a nearby church at kulai,which I had earlier make contact and been there once. However when I got there I saw the door was already shut and since I am new I do not want to walk into a service late, so I went to another church just a few walking distance down the road. The meeting was over, so I just went to make some enquries on their meetings.I was given their newsletter and introduced to some of their elders and pastor. This is something I came across in their newsletter. This will suffice for my christmas message this year ,since I missed my christmas message this year. Hope you will be blessed.


When Jesus came the first time, He came as a babe wrapped in swadding clothes.
when He comes again, He will be dressed in the vestments of victory
He came the first time to be crucified
He will come again to be glorified
He came the first time with a baby's cry
when He comes again it will be with the roar of the tribes of Judah
He first coming was known only to a few shepherds,a handful of wisemen, and a few residents of Bethlehem
When He comes again, it will be as lightening flashing from the east to the west, He  will come in the clouds of glory, and all the universerse will hear the news.


Have a blessed Christmas Everyone.

in the meantime, this song  will express how I feel not being with my loved ones during christmas
