Kopitiam

Kopitiam is my favourite..
Not only the local sitcom but also the heritage.
The heritage of my grandfather's...

This was once my playground...
Help out as the cashier, running up and down the street,
Sitting in there, sipping my favourite iced-Milo
Looking at the same, old customers hanging around there having their favourite kopi, teh-O....

Time flies, there's more and more competitors on the street...
The old customers ceased of old age...

What will the future holds for this kopitiam, no one knows...

咖啡

喜欢咖啡,不是因为他的提神,而是因为他的苦涩和他的香味.喜欢喝咖啡时候的情调,那种幽雅,那种惬意,那种无奈,那种颓废.明白自己已经变得越来越颓废,当一个人的时候,在我脑子里盘旋的常常是宿命.为什么当一个人出生的时候,命运就伴随着他?不相信人的力量可以去改变命运的安排,他们所改变的只是自己的心情,而不是自己的命运.因为人在冥冥的现实和虚幻中是渺小的.常在咖啡的陪伴下想到爱情.爱情像咖啡.人世间并没有什么快乐的,幸福的,或者是永恒的爱情,就如同咖啡一样,原本是没有甜味的.人们喜欢的,崇尚的,只不过是苦涩中散发的甜味而已.像任何毒品一样,咖啡有瘾,但他不是毒品,是毒品的替代品,这就是为什么人们喜欢咖啡,会喜欢到底的缘故.

就像游曳在爱情的海洋中,越是困难就越是不低头,受过爱情的伤害,却仍然不放弃爱情,为什么?因为爱情像咖啡一样,有瘾.喜欢咖啡的颜色,如同喜欢爱情的颜色.他们都是暗暗的.没有什么明亮的爱情,因为时间和现实的冲刷,已经把他们的颜色都抹去了,留下的只有原色.因为他们本来就不是什么明亮的东西.没有纯粹的咖啡和爱情.咖啡如果没有伴侣或者方糖,就不会那么受欢迎.爱情如果没有欲望和经济就不会让那么多的人去追求,有时侯甚至是带着受伤和被伤害.但是,无可置疑,我离不开咖啡就像人类离不开爱情一样.咖啡能给我苦涩的回忆,能够让我的脑子存在于盲钝和自由的状态去思考宿命的安排.爱情能给人类带来肉体上的快感,心灵上的抚慰.我不相信爱情,但是我接受,就像接受咖啡一样,义无反顾.

Lost

I am lost in my heart,
I am lost in the run,
I am lost in the world of maze.
Where can I find
The answers that I need,
Answers to the questions in my mind.
Where can I run?
Where can I hide,
when I need shelter from the storm.
When can I leave?
When will I be released,
from this hypocrite, surreal world.
I am tired and exhausted,
I've tried but I've failed
I cried but to no avail.
But I know there's someone
waiting,
longing,
for me to return to His kingdom.

From A Distance

Looking at you from a distance
I know my heart is lost
Lost in the love for you
Which will never ever come true
Looking at you from a distance
I know that you're not mine
Not in the past nor in the future
Your heart never was for me.
When you're in front of me
I feel as if we're miles apart
When we're miles apart
I feel that you're so close
With just a single distance call.
So near yet so far
Is this what they call love?
I wish I'll have the courage
I wish I'll have the strength
To walk up to you
To tell you I really, really love you
Loving you, is what I feel for you

Love You

Wide awake in the morning mist
My thought is filled with your presence
Feel like being by your side
To wish you morning
And tell you I love you
Sleeping alone in the lonely night
My heart is filled with your presence
Weeping quietly into the cold air
And wish you're still here
And tell you I miss you

I want to go away from this land
To where you are
But it is yet time for me
To go back to the sanctuary
So I can just remain here
Continue to love you and miss you
Till we meet again
In the sanctuary

One Way, One Truth, One Life, One Destiny...

Today's a very special Sunday. It's a Youth Evangelistic Sunday!!!!

A team of missionaries came over from City Harvest Singapore to join us. After the praise & worship session, filled with joy, the team gave a short presentation (sorta sketch thingy) about the only way to salvation.



The award you get, the good deeds you do, your wealth, your wiseness.... All these doesn't bring you eternal life. The only way to salvation is through our Lord Jesus Christ whom paid for our sins with His blood.

This message was later on being bring forth by Ps Kenneth Sim.
It was well explained inthe Bible scripture Luke 16:19-31 where the rich man went to hell because he rejected Jesus, while the poor beggar Lazarus went up to heaven after he died because he belives in out Saviour!



The main point is not that rich/wealth will lead us to hell.... But the rejection of Jesus Christ that will lead us to eternal perish in hell.
I'd say the message today is very good.....
