Amazing Grace

 

This is me singing amazing grace...

Today is my father's third year death anniversary.  I took leave to attend the prayer that I had booked with the priest.  At first my mother told me not to come here today because I need to go to work.  However, I dreamed of him one morning.  I realized that I had to come and see him.  I don't want to miss a session of prayer to him.  

Today, the priest asked us to choose a hymn.  Johnny chose amazing grace.  I thought it was a beautiful song and i could sing loud.  However the moment I began singing the song, tears swelled up in my eyes.  I could not control my voice also.  I controlled my tears and I had to sing to myself instead.  

The lyrics for Amazing Grace...

All the words for the song was so meaningful to me.  The priest told us that my father was physically not present but he is still alive.  It is our faith that can assured us that one day we will meet again...

Looking for Taco

Yesterday was Valentine's Day.  I went to work and when I reached home, I was surprised Taco was not at the gate.  Normally when I went out, Taco will always wait at the gate.  So I went to my room and put down all my belongings.  Still, Taco was not seen nor heard.  I quickly asked Isaac for the whereabouts of Taco.  

We searched for him and finally found him in the basket.  

The last Saturday, I had adopted some religious figures from the church.  I brought home as shown below, St Anna teaching the virgin Mary statue.  The colour was faded and peeling off.  Some parts were broken too. I repainted it the next day and put it at my altar.

Taco is with me for almost a year soon.  I was very anxious when I could not find him.  I hope he will always be safe and have a good health.

Eat Yusheng

Taco went to the dining table when he smelled abalone.

 This Chinese New Year I ate Yusheng for three times.  The first time was from 834 Eating House.  I ordered it and brought home to eat with children.  They forgot to give me the abalone.  So that night, we ate the yusheng without abalone.  

The second time and third time, I bought the yusheng box from NTUC.  I bought the shredded carrots and opened a can of abalone(given by Johnny).  

Taco smelled the abalone and he loved it.  This was the first time Taco had yusheng with us and also first time he ate abalone.  He ate so many pieces of abalone.  

The second time which he ate Yusheng with us, I opened another can of abalone.  This time I prepared a plate of eight abalone for him.  He ate them all!  And he still wanted more!

Feeling Happy

Standing in front of the church hall, not knowing when I can receive Jesus ever...

I had not been updating the blog.  My computer is not working properly.  Now I'm trying to use the handphone to do so.  

Today I feel so happy because I took the opportunity to ask father (Gerard) about receiving holy communion.  As soon as I am prepared to go for confession, I can receive Jesus again.
