Proclaim Good News

We Are Sent Into The World 

 I have not update my blog since July 2021. It was 7 months since I last update it. 
Life had been smooth sailing until now, the tragic death of Dora...

Cebest died at the age of 3.  Dora died at the age of 3 too.  Besides this similarities, both seemed to be planned...  Cebest saw the death angel came and Dora's death angel was like being sent.  Her death happened at a 'good' timing...

 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” ~Matthew 26:34 

 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” ~ John 2:19

 Cebest died on 7.6.2006.  I was 'converted' in the year of 2007, the belief of spirits, the spirit returned, and I went back to church, our catholic church.  There, I 'met' Jesus again at the Church of Saint Anthony of Padua in the year 2008.   My sins were forgiven.  I had a new life then.  Isaac was born.

Last year, my father died.  This year, we celebrated his first year anniversary on 25.1.2022.  Then on 31.1.2022, dora died.  Unlike me, I was given a second chance to live.  I was dead but resurrected on 8.3.2008.  I was converted on 31.12.2007.  With all the explanation at night told to Richard and the children as regards to the noise that I heard at night.  

So similarly, I believe that my father would be resurrected after death.  So did Cebest and Dora.  And definitely my unborn baby.  These are not learned in our school.  I had to experience it first hand to believe.  And today I believe that my faith would guide me through the remaining days of my life so that I would eventually meet my dearly departed loved ones again...

Fate or destiny

 

                                 Stray cats at Fu Shan Garden on 14 March 2019


Dora was the one in the middle

One afternoon when Isaac came back from school, he saw an incredible sight.  It was the dinosaur playground filled with many cats.  He quickly came home to tell me.  He said he wanted to have a cat.  

As it was my lunch time, I had to rush back to work.  So I quickly went to the playground to have a look.  Wow, there were so many cats, as many as ten!  All the cats were lying around, not moving at all.  Some were adults some were kittens.  We did not know which one to pick.  Then I just heard pick the grey one.  I saw the grey one and I carried it.  I put it in my bicycle's basket and we brought it home.  

The children wanted to name it Dora.  The children were excited to have Dora at home.  I did not know how Dora behaved as I went to work.  When I came home in the evening, I bathed her.  The next day we brought her to the vet to deworm and had vaccination.  The vet told us that she was about two months old.  

From that day onwards, Dora became our family.  As each day passed by, we love her more and more.  She was so adorable and sweet.  

Dora was very skinny.  The vet said she was underweight.  Under our care, she looked better and better each day.  She was so beautiful.  But it was too short a life for her.  She was only 3 years with us, so healthy and pretty.  

If we did not bring her home, what would her life be now?

Goodbye Dora

 
Rest in peace, Dora... We missed you forever. 

 After Cebest died, this time round, I took good care of her nutrition. I make sure that she ate good food. However, I failed again...

There was time when Dora looked at the altar for so long, not one time but a few times.  She stared at it for so long as though God was teaching her or conversing with her.  I never thought that she would leave so sudden.  I bought so much food and litter for her.  The moment just happened so fast.  It only takes a minute...

Everyone grieved.  Her lost was too sudden that I can't believe it at first.  But it really happened...

'You tried your best'.  Isaac comforted me.  Thanks Isaac.

Lor Mee

 

Fish Lor Mee From Kampung Admiralty Hawker Centre

I don't usually buy Lor Mee, but I like the Lor Mee from Kampung Admiralty Hawker Centre.  They offer Fish Lor Mee, which is free from pork, solely fish and can add prawns, the one shown above, which I had purchased.  


Photographs showing the Lor Mee stall

This stall is very popular.  It is always having a long queue and I am willing to queue because the food is nice.  I always ask for no vinegar and more bean sprouts.
