Wong Shih Yaw's works are really amazing & meaningful.
i love all his Christian works;
simple some may seem, but they contain such strong messages!
during the interview on tues, shu ming & i thought he looked quite gangsterish.
but he turned out to be a really gentle & soft-spoken man. awww.
he rocks la.
he's already made it to my list of favourite artists. (:

do check out his blog: http://sealedman.blogspot.com/.
and COMMENT! :D

after reading through what i've typed above,
i realised that actually most of those stuff are rather, self-centred.
everything seems to be all about me me me. sigh.
it makes me wonder what happened to the heart of giving.

you know i'm awfully inspired by minqi's post & email on cambodia.
it kinda reminds me of my hainan trip.
knowing how much we have helped, seen & learnt, no matter how many setbacks faced, at the end of the day it's all worth it.
sometimes i've this urge to do mission work again, or get involved in OCIP.
especially with so many tragedies happening in the world.
natural disasters, wars, terrorism, riots & strikes.
i still vividly remember during lu jia lao shi's sermon, he said that it's important to send material aid to those people in need. but what's even more important for us to do, is to spread the Word to them. (spiritual food eh)

i have to get down to some serious thinking.
and pray about this.
i know the flesh is weak (especially for myself, as i know my personality/temperament is really really not suitable for such work).
i don't know whether i'll be able to stomach it all.
but i need to pray that i'll find a way. somehow.
will you pray for me too? (:


there she goes
