Lest I forget…all of Your goodness, the blood You have shed…

    Hey all, the past few days have been really sad for me, as I’m leaving Sydney and moving on into another phase of my life. I just wanna say thanks to all my wonderful friends…thank you for your friendship, inspiration, and readiness to help. I truly appreciate you guys from the bottom of my heart. I wanna say a special thanks to Josh, for all your help the past crazy week.
    Today, I wanna take time out to thank my parents for all the love they’ve shown me through the past few years until today. The other day my dad said a very sad and true thing…that from this saturday onwards, I’ll be living away from home, possibly for a really looooooong time. You see, unless I miraculously get a pre-internship or internship placement in Sydney, I’ll probably be living in Gold Coast for the next 7-8 years, studying and then working there. By then I would be 28-29 years old, and it’s highly unlikely that I would return to living in my parents’ home. So they were kinda sad thinking about that. And I am too…

    But to my parents, I just wanna say I love u both so very very much. Really appreciate all that you’ve done for me. You know, the malays have a saying. "Syurga terletak di bawah tapak kaki ibu". Literally translating, it means, heaven is under the feet of our mothers. Although, not technically true, but I do know one thing for sure. The Lord honours those who honour their parents. I hope I’ve been a good son to you both, and not too much of a pain. And I pray that I’ll be able to make you both proud when I graduate someday.
    You know, this makes me think about a time 2,000 years ago, when my Father in Heaven had to part with Jesus. The Bible says, a day is like a thousand years to God since He’s not bound by time. So, the 33 yrs of Jesus being on earth must have been an eternity to God. And then there was that fateful day on Calvary, where the sin, pain, and suffering of the world was nailed unto God’s only Son, Jesus Christ…You know, currently I can’t truly imagine the pain felt by God coz I’ve never been a parent. But maybe my parents can, even if just a lil’ bit…
    Well, on the bright side of things…Gold Coast is still in the same country. And I’ll be back every couple of months or so. *hugz to parents* I really hope I don’t cry my eyes out on Sat…sigh…
    Today, I also had my last capoeira class at Sydney Uni. Contra-mestre Nei taught the class. Tough I tell ya…
Thats me training handstand.
