I did

a stranger came to my working place this afternoon. he told me he suffered from blood tumor, he showed me the lump on his neck, and his hand is a bit crooked...he said he has no job and no money for his family...he asked me whether i can donate him a few ringgit... i gave RM10...and i prayed to God for his condition. my heart did judged him, whether he was cheating me or not? whether he will bring home the money or not? i shouldn't ask whether he bring home the money or not, but i should ask whether i was giving out of a sincere heart? Yes God, I did.

Ah! I know that feel. Always at restaurant when beggars come asking for money I have an urge to give but shamefully sometimes i didn't give even though i want to give because i'm afraid of being laughed by my friends as stupid but the phrase is always, better cheated than hardening my heart just once.

Anyway i have added your blog to my blogroll.. do add me too.. hehe (=

Chapter two

How could I possibly pour out everything in my heart, my mind...? Dad, I know that You know me even before I was born, You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb(Psalm 139:13), I am precious in Your eyes and You love me(Isaiah 43:4a).... Upon Your words, I can build my trust! I want to trust You for my future family, though I knew the fact that Alex and I are both alpha thalassemia minor...25% of chances to get a alpha thalassemia major child...doctor said nothing is guarantee...we could only prepare ourselves for what is to come if we decided to have our own child. How could I possibly ready and prepare enough to face what is to come without You?

两个人

一个星期六下午, 他和她在同一间咖啡屋。两人点了爱喝的Irish Coffee,不加糖。 他在看书, 而她也看着同一本书。不时会听见他们咯咯大笑, 身边的人也禁不住偷笑起来了。 一直坐到傍晚时分, 他们才离去。 他向老板娘说声谢, 她向服务员微笑点头。  不知道过了多少个星期六, 他们又回到了同一间咖啡屋, 选了同一张桌子。 他红着双眼, 点了Irish Coffee; 她泪流满面, 熟悉她的服务生也为她点了Irish Coffee.。这一次, 他们坐到店快要打烊才回家, 两人擦身而过。 无数个星期六过去了, 他们脸上又带着笑容,向咖啡屋的老板娘和服务生打招呼! 这一次, 他们没有点Irish Coffee, 反而向老板娘要了有点儿酸又带些甜的柳橙汁。 终于, 他们的眼神有了交集, 两人微笑了。

somewhere in the world

Every 5 seconds, a child dies from hunger somewhere in the world. More than 800 million people in the world go to bed on an empty stomach, most of whom are women and children. It only costs RM 0.66 a day to feed a hungry child at school. Do you have RM 0.66? http://www.fromhungertohope.com/
