CP block blessing on the 22nd August 2008

Initially, just like any normal CP block blessing, I would make my way down to Blk 958 for the briefing together with my sisters. I didn’t expect much or what will come out of (after) the whole event. However, today was totally different from other times when I did CP block blessing. For the first time for the past 2 years of doing this, today, I had a GREAT sense of SATISFACTION and JOY and for the first time, CP work was so FUN and FRUITFUL and FULLFILLING. Why? Because, we (Charissa and I) had a third person’s help halfway through block blessing. And, the third person is none other than Gerald Ang (one of our residents’ son). And you must know that for the past 2 years, when we were doing block blessing, Gerald’s house’s door’s always WIDE OPEN. BUT, NO ONE will come to answer the door. BUT PRAISE THE LORD! By the tremendous FAVOUR from our Lord Jesus, Gerald’s mummy came to answer the door, and after chatting for a while, we found out that she is actually looking for a part-time job and is desperately in need of money. Currently, her husband is not in town, and she’s the sole bread-winner of the family. And it so happen that my cousin is working in a job search agency and I told her to leave her contacts and both Charissa and I left our contacts as well. We also managed to get her son, Gerald’s hp number. After chatting for quite sometime, I made an excuse saying that I’m quite urgent and needed to use the toilet. So she invited us in and we took the opportunity to invite her and her family to the “You Ya” concert and gave her an extra packet of cereal and the tin of biscuits. She was VERY KEEN in coming for the concert. So was Gerald. Thereafter, when Charissa and I said that we need to make our move and continue with block blessing, her son, Gerald, actually asked if he can join us in the block blessing too!

The mum (Mdm Too) was pretty hesitant about it initially-- because Gerald has got tuition tomorrow morning. But seeing his enthusiasm and willingness to join us, we promise the mum that we’ll bring him back safely at 10pm sharp. And so mum was pretty cool about it and thank us for the blessings (biscuits and cereal).

I remembered, a couple of months back, I was involved in a Children’s Church’s drama. And it was about CP block blessing. I was one of the main characters and was supposed to do block blessing with my “mum”. However, I was afraid that I might meet my friends and was afraid that I might be laughed at by my friends for doing such stuff. However, at the end of the whole drama, I DID meet my friend, BUT! She too came to join my mum and I for the block blessing and we managed to enter another resident’s house because of my friend (the one who followed my mum and I) and we even prayed for the family.Little did I know that, a couple of months back, it may only be a drama. But now! IT BECAME A REALITY! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!! HALLELUJAH! Never! Have I felt so so so satisfied and happy after CP block blessing.

The next time round when we’re doing CP block blessing, I MUST MUST MUST find an opportunity to pray for Gerald’s family too. Charissa and I wanted to do that when we send Gerald home. But mum’s in the bedroom. So we missed the chance. But that’s alright. I sincerely hope that through today’s testimony, we can help encourage the next generation and even our own church members that doing CP is DEFINITELY not a boring thing and you will never know when God decides to open doors and create such opportunities for you. Will continue to keep this family in prayer and hopefully, the family will turn up for the “You Ya” concert on the 6th September’ 08. That’s all folks! :)

useless...

i know.. just the previous post/entry, i've mentioned that i am going to try my best to move on and not look back.. but.. just now, when i was watching this HK drama, i cant help but to cry.. not cuz it had a traagic ending.. just tt, it reminded me of CK and i. reminded me of the times we'd spent tog. why am i so useless? cant even do such a simple thing as this (forget abt him).. up till now, i still do not know the reason why, he would suddenly say tt we remain as friends, when the day before (as of 17th June 08) he asked me to be his GF.. wad really went wrong? wad did i do? i'd always been myself.. i never put on a mask or behave differently.. be it at home or in front of my friends.. all i wanted was an answer.. but, i have no courage to ask him.. i dun want him to think tt why am i so long winded? after so long, still harp on it.. but.. i really want to know.. frankly speaking.. ever since tt day.. i havent been (genuinely) happy at all.. never.. tt night.. during D&D.. it's not cuz i have had too much and think too much tt i cried.. rather.. tears just flowed down my eyes by itself.. i noe.. when Zach, eryl and a few others asked me why did i cry tt night.. and i just told them cuz i drank too much and was a little emo abt some stuff.. but deep down inside.. i know i am still unable to let go.. :( i know.. to many, this may seemed like not a prob at all.. but.. to me.. it is.. and i know, i'm letting some of my friends down with my indecisiveness.. but.. i'm really bothered by it and i have no idea why is it tt he left such a deep impression to me tt made me feel this way.. sorry guys.. i've let u down again.. but.. i really dun noe how to solve this matter... maybe.. maybe.. i'm just not matured enuff to deal with such matter? haizzzzz

final decision..

i have been thinking thru things these few days. thou it was a difficult decision to make. but i've decided. as of today onwards, i will not think abt CK. he's all but a friend. platonic kind. i have to stop decieving myself tt he will "come back" to me (so to speak) one day. thou tt period of time, i was really happy, and all that he did was really sweet, but, it's all in the past. one must look forward and move on. if u keep looking back, even if God were to send u the one whom He has sent to you, u wouldnt take notice. so yup. as much as it's difficult and painful, but i will and is willing to try. that's all. period.
