~ 8:27 AM ~
Last night, a group of my Malay biker friend and I went to JB bike shop to upgrade our bike, some of us only. As Malaysia things is much cheaper than Singapore. And this time there are 6 biker which includes me (the only Chinese), well, all of them are local Malay Muslims and are quite friendly too, we wait for one another when either of us are out of the sight, this is the attitude I like, wait for one another regardless of who is slow and who is fast. Sometimes I was wondering how great will it be when all the Malays' believe in Christ Jesus, I always want to outreach to them but always felt so discourage and afraid that they might be offended and hold grudges against me. But no matter what the threat, I'm willing to give it a try, perhaps this is the task given to me by God, to outreach the biker.
After upgrading our bike at the bike shop in JB, we went to petrol station to refill our petrol, and again, it was quite cheap compare to Singapore, half price of it. So after everything is done at JB, we head back to Singapore, there was a checkpoint where the police officer was asked to check our body and surrender for any illegal stuff and those who has a box at the bike, was ask to open it, they then raid everything in it. It was jam at the checkpoint, Malaysian and Singaporean biker were squeezing one another and knock each other bike without even a apology, some even horn for nothing. Those Malaysian biker were mostly uncle as they come to Singapore and work. I guess the envoirnment wasn't very good and the people in Malaysia wasn't really that friendly that's why it cause anger to one another. I was rather merely nervous as my bike was slightly long and huge, and those Malaysian biker repeatly knock onto my bike, I kept myself in a silent prayer to God and seek for Him to get me out of the squeezing zone.
The next day, I was ask to do survey at Balestier ITE by my care leader, "Jeyaraj" and tag along side with, "Jonathan", "Wilton" and "David", this time was a huge group to do evanglism and I was rather no mood to do as we are quite a number of people and we were busying chatting other stuff rather than concentrate on our mission, so basically we are having fun, I would prefer a group of at least 3 people or less. Whilst at the evanglism, I keep feeling thirsty and seeking for drinks within half an hour and legs beginning to feel tired, a little dizzy too. Then all out of blue, a fresh and a unforgettable sentences flash across my mind which is, as we the believer of Christ and as a Christian, Jesus came into this world and was being mock, insult, abuse, crucified and died, but did He complain? and when he was resurrected and proceed to the Heaven, did he curse or punish those who killed Him? all these suddenly flash across my mind and suddenly I was motivated and feel on form.
Later at the evening, I receive a call from my Malay biker friend saying that he wants to go riding and was bored at home, so I came straight away after finishing playing badminton with my friend. There are 3 of us, we had no idea on where to go as we have explore almost all part in Singapore, I suggest going to Changi Village as I want to consume my favourite indian food "Thosai" and at the meantime to look out for "She-male". My friend disagree with the idea as it will be quite a long journey there and doesn't wish to waste resources, so he decided to go to Jalan Kayu instead and we agree. At the moment we reach there, 1 of us forgotten to bring money out and I got only $3 in my pocket, just enough for a prata and a drink, all of us was bored and moody just because of this trivial issue, but we didn't unleash anger with one another, so lastly, we went home straight with each of us goes to individual direction.
Wow, time indeed flies fast, next week would be my enlistment day already, haha! which means 2 years of living in a guys world and my second home. Yeah! really looking forward for it as I expect myself to learn a lot of things there.
