What Is Our Life All About ..... Fast Forward , Mute , Translate , Stop , Pause ? All In A Click ... A Bday Story :)

Hi Friends,

Yesturday I was celebrating my 23th Birthday. The day began at 5am in the morning in the House of Redemptorists at Ponggol , thou my family and friends celebrated with me had a great time on sunday's lunch at hotel rendevous. At about 6am I left for St Nicks School , together with Fr Simon and the seminarians bros on a weekly mass trip there on mondays. I experience God's Love Thru The Daily Mass Receiving Jesus which I yearn for daily but this day was made special for me as he got all in the school hall attending mass to pray 4 me. After the mass we all went to visit our fellow Rev Bro Cass which was sick in Mt Alvernia Hospital n had breakfast over there with Fr Bill which had juz celebrated mass there together with the seminarians bros they sang my bday song 4 me in the cafteria .... I am very touch. The day continued with a movie titled " Click " which I strongly recommend all to watch it. It spoke about a person who is a work-holic n negelcts his wife n childrens , wants n desire to have a universal remote control gadget and desires to skip the bad parts of life n fast forward , pause n use the functions of a click in the remote eventually he went down to a DIY store n searched for it and was led to a room named " beyond " which his dream came thru but he realised the consequences later when he was older thur his relationship with his family was broken n he was fast forwarding it n missing a lot of things n eventually his son followed his footsteps... He realised that he need a change when he was very sick in hospital n ran to his son and family after they left to tell him how sorry he was n not to follow his lifestyle of a work-holic. He died after that and was woken and realised that it was just a dream.

Some refection I had on watching this movie which ended with me tearing :-
- Are we facing reality at times n being practical ? Fast Forwarding The Un-happy moments by not facing it openly n god's grace of courage n to see BEYOND it ?
- What Lifestyle Am I living ? Do we care for the needs of our love ones n other around me ?
- Changing our lives only when bad things happen ? Why not NOW ? By the grace of God we can ! On my bday card wrote my favourite quote from St Paul which was on my 1st posting on this blog "In all your moments of weakness the Lord works best in you " Amen !
- God's love n forgiving grace never end as he gave us many chances which can be seen on this movie " Click ".

The day continued at phil's hse in bedok with 3 of us including myself for lunch which he cooked for me nice grilled chicken wing which I happen to take 3pcs n 2more. I remembered the nos of my age n the wings I consumed the 3 is the blessed trinity always with me and the 2 the always the angles michael n gabriel always protecting me.We had also fruit punch , sushi , red wine , wedges n coleslaw.

After lunch , I went for mass at Risen Christ at 6pm with 2 youths. After mass we ate sushi at sake sushi in Toa Payoh Entertainment Ctr. Had A Great Time There As Well. Nite Continued with a talk at Risen Chirst Church by Fr Arro which spoke on sacraments n celebration and ended at 930pm.

Special thank to a church parishoner who lives in sengkang gave me a ride home to the redemptorist hse in ponggol. To my surprise at the hse the redemptorist seminarians celebrated my bday with me with a cake I bought on sunday nite.

Had A very Beautiful Bday celebration with God's Choosen People.

Gd day n god bless !

Love Bro In Christ ,
