Ok, today is really cool! So let me start from the beginning ok! =)

I was on the MRT on friday when suddenly I had a thought, "Hmm... What was that book that Sam Wong was reading? The holy man? Hmm... No... I think it's the heavenly man... Yeah it is..." That thought just popped into my mind just like that, then I had a really strong urge to get off the train. It was still at Novena, the only place I know in Novena is Tan Tock Seng Hospital! I was thinking, "Ah... What for I alight here? Siao is it?!" But that feeling just grew stronger and stronger until I couldn't bare it anymore, and I alighted at Novena at the moment before the doors closed.

So, what now? I was pretty lost at the control station, so I just followed the masses out of the station and lo and behold! There was a shopping centre just above the escalator! Then I remembered I went there once before, but I couldn't remember anything else. So I just checked out the place, can see that it's quite new a few shops here and there, nothing interesting. Then when I reached the top floor, a small shop caught my eye. TRUMPET PRAISE.

Then I thought maybe God wanted me to buy the heavenly man book? So I just went in and bought it despite knowing that I will be left with absolutely no money for the weekends! So I was hoping maybe God will reveal something thru this incident coz I don't really like wasting money. Sam Wong already said he'll lend me the book after he finished reading it anyway.

So I was reading it during the weekends, but nothing happened! I even got 'suaned' by the devil! Coz on Sunday, Sam Wong handed me his book, saying that he already finished reading it. I was like "Man... I shouldn't have bought it la! Waste money only!"

-------------------------------------------------------
Side story

Remember I didn't have any money for the weekends? Well, my mom handed me $10 on sat without any reason, but I guessed that she took a peek in my wallet and found out how broke I was. Haha. I managed to have $4 leftover for Sunday and I thought, yes! I got thru the weekends! But during service when the offering bag came, I felt compelled to give all my money away! I struggled, but in the end I managed to put that money in. And with a smile, I comforted myself that God will make a way.... right? I had doubts, yes, I did. God forgive me!

So I was faced with a situation that I might not have lunch on Sunday, was feeling quite sian. The devil 'suaned' me some more! After worship practice we were going to take a bus to Baptism when we stopped at the the bao shop. Nic asked me if I wanted to buy a bao to munch on or not? I just looked at him and smiled. I was quite hunger already and was tempted to borrow some money from any of them to satisfy my stomach. But again I don't know why but I felt that I shouldn't.

So we reached the beach, and I was feeling hungry! Man, I was looking for some leftover chicken rice but I couldn't find any. THEN Sam leo came to me with a bag of nuggets from macdonalds! HAHA! So cool right? She said she owed me lunch (I made her promise that she owe me lunch during FOP, but it was just in jest! I didn't really mean it... Haha) I was quite puzzled, and I looked into my handphone. She actually smsed me earlier asking me what I wanted for lunch? But I didn't hear it ringing coz I was wearing earplugs during worhsip practice! (Drums are really very loud!)

So thank God for this small yet powerful practice on faith! And if anyone knows me, they will know I'm actually a very money-oriented person. I will look for a job at any given chance, coz I alway seem to be either in debt or I just need the money. Sam Goh will know, I dunno owe him how much liao! Sorry brother! You need to remember how much I owe u, then I can repay u back! God really taught me a lesson on trusting him for my needs. I haven't been tithing for an awfully long time, another commitment to make! I will start tithing from this week onwards! =)

-------------------------------------------------------------

Back to the main story! I was quite sian abt the book plus was quite tired from baptism, so I didn't read it on Sunday. Today, I decided to bring it to school to read during class (Classes are really boring! Haha). So I changed my old crumbled bookmark for a new FOP bookmark and chucked it in my bag.

I was reading it in class, when my friend asked me "You reading a christian book huh?". I just nodded to him without lifting my eyes off the book and overheard him saying to my other friend "The cover looks so weird one." I just ignored him, coz that guy is known to be an ass with his really piercing remarks.

He was really bored, so he took my FOP bookmark and just looked at it. Then he nudged me and asked me "hey, what does this mean?" I ignored him and continue reading. He nudged me again, I put down my book and reluctantly attended to him. I was thinking "Oh man, he's gonna make fun of this again!" (Yes, it has happened before. Really very pissed with him when he does that.)

He was pointing at a quote from the Bible, "When the day of Pentecost came, all the believers were gathered together in one place. Suddenly there was a noise from the sky which sounded like a strong wind blowing, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting." ACTS 2:1-2 TEV

So, I was thinking of a way to explain it to him, and trying to recall as much as I could about the day of Pentecost, when he interrupted my thoughts. "Think so long... You don't know right? Still call yourself a christian? Hahaha..." I was really quite angry! Both at him and myself, why couldn't I have read the Bible more! So that I can be better equiped at answering this type of questions! So I just told him "You never give me chance to say, how you want me to say?!" He was quite amused, "Ok lor, tell me la..."

So I just rambled on, not knowing what I said was correct or not, I just said what came into my mind. I haven't checked the Bible yet, so you guys can correct me if I'm wrong ok? I'll try to be as accurate as possible. (What I said to him, not accurate as in biblical accuracy)

I told him hundreds of years ago, a prophet said that one day the Holy Spirit will come and fill all of you. So the people were happy and they started praying but generations passed but this has not come true yet. Then Jesus came... You know Jesus right? He said,"Ya I know him, but he don't know me... Haha..." I wanted to tell him he knows you alright! But I didn't and continued on with the story... So Jesus came and performed many miracles and preached to many people, then he died on the cross. Before he died he told his disciples to go and preach his word everywhere. So they did that la. Then came the day of the Pentecost, when the prophet's prophecy was finally fulfilled and everyone present was filled with the Holy spirit.

After hearing all this all he said was "What bullshit!" I was really very pissed liao! I wanted to just shout at him or whatever, but I just gave a weak smile and continued reading my book.

A minute or so passed, and he asked me, "All this is like myth one right? How you know it's true?" I told him, "There are some parts of the bible that is quite new, only 2 thousands years ago only. The historical sites are all still around now, and there are many evidence to prove the Bible is true."

He just nodded and didn't say anything, and continued to ask me some other stuff. I was quite shocked, coz he always have something to say about christians one. I don't know why, I think he hates christians or something. But not only did he not say anything bad, he continued to ask other questions!

It's really very exciting. Maybe to others it might be just a small thing, but to me it's God showing to me how real he is in my life! It's so amazing! Thank God I bought the book which has opened a opportunity for me to share christ to this friend of mine! I expect more to happen in the days to come! Just believe! Just believe!! =)
