In Memories of David Thong

just got a call frm them yesterday saying that the 'place' and the memorial inscribtion stone for my bro is ready and 'ready' to 'move' in ...hmmnnnn... when we arrive there.. i still couldnt belived that my bro already gone ....i wish it was all a bad dream but it issnt..standing there and helping to put his 'most priced belongings.. like a pair of sunglass..toys frm friends..a watch,bangles..etc made me really think hard about life , we came into this world empty handed and thats the same way we go.
All the money we ever make and all those worldly stuff become useless when we died. The most precious thing in this world that we can ever take with us are relationship and real friendship..love. But its hard to loved even our 'love ones' , and sometimes we feel like 'killing' those who have hurt us or we just dont know how to love.

LOVE is HARD..sometime diffcult because we never experience it ourself.Well some people even think love means S>E>X .. well iam not going to that topic but difinately what love is NOT...

1) love is NOT sex..it is much more than that.I guess love and relationship is much like DNA.. if you have a damage DNA from your father/mother..your next gener will be not much better than you ,most highly worst off. If my DNA is healthy..well my next gener is healtheir too.

2) love is NOT GOD. Well many ppl mistakenly thinks that love is God..love in its self is not God.. Love without God = abuse,selfish,impatient,(some ppl even stalk you around for months because they are in 'love'..the ladies know what iam talking about) because we are inperfect.Thats why we need God who is perfect to help us.*the RIGHT GOD,TRUE AND LIVING GOD.

The only way to give love is first of all to receive love. We cant give what we dont have right ? (iam still learning this).

The Perfect love Perfect DNA comes from above which is Jesus Christ who died on the cross and carry/bear for my /your sin and sickness/curces ,BLEEDING ,beaten,because WE inperfect humans who find it hard to love so that we can start loving others with the love of Christ. All we need to do is to give our life /heart to the Perfect Lover Jesus Christ and acknowledge our sin and shortcomings and failures and to received His love for me which is uncondition,saying Yes Jesus i give you my life, forgive me for my sin,shortcomings and failures,come into my heart and make me a new person,from now on i want to follow you,be my Lord and Master of my life. Jesus said this 'For God so loved the world(u and me) that He gave His One and Only Son so that we can have eternal Life,a life full of joy and peace (even when we go thru troubles in this life),we know that God IS LOVE.

While we still have the time..let us make full use of it to get to know Jesus Christ to receive His love and give to people around us esp our loved ones..mom,dad,silblings,friends..and thats the best gift that we can give when we passed from this life to the next.

Dear David,

Last time we saw you was at our wedding. That was almost 2 years ago. You were always such a dear friend and we shall not forget your smile, your laugh and your love for those around you. In fact, it was because of you that Derrick and I met each other again 5 years ago.

When we heard about your passing, we prayed as hard as we could that you had accepted Christ Jesus into your life. As we read the past few blogs, it came as a confirmation. We rejoice knowing that the Lord has prepared the way for you. Praise the Lord !Rest in peace and we shall soon meet you again.

A voice from heaven said,"God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."

~Revelation

21:4~"He who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life"

~John 5:24~

Love always,

This morning, the weather was extremely gloomy. Tufts of gray clouds that hung in the air obscured the skyline. I was in the car, on my way to work, when it started to drizzle. I swear there would never be another morning as bleak and as grave as this, and the weather is only a fraction of the real cause.

It was David’s funeral today.

I arrived at the church at about 10 am. It’s one of the few times which I’ve actually been on 0-time. I guess it’s only respectful, as that was probably my last ‘appointment’ with him. In the past, he always had to wait for me, but that never deterred him from picking me up or taking me out whenever I didn’t feel like driving. Sometimes, he’d remind me gently to be on time, but unless we’re really really late for something, he wouldn’t say a word when I burst into the car apologising for having him wait for me.

His sister spoke at the funeral today. My recollection of what she said is a bit fuzzy, as I was standing outside the church, letting my sobs out in Mei Peng’s arm, who was also in tears herself. What I did hear clearly, was that David was someone who cherished his friends a lot, and that was why, they decided to put the balloons which his friends have given him, into the coffin with him. That made us sob even harder, because we knew that David was precisely that sort of person. He treated his friends very well, and he loved us all.

And we in turn, love him, which is why it’s so hard to accept the fact that he’s gone now. I’m still unable to get over the fact that he’s gone, and that I’ve seen him in flesh, for the last time today, when I walked by the coffin to pay my last respect.

After the funeral service, when his coffin was about to be lifted into the waiting van, I took note of my surroundings, and noticed that the sun was shining brightly again. It was as if he was trying to tell us, that the time of mourning is over, and we should go on with our lives in the manner of the sun, that rises each day, no matter what strikes the earth.

Anyway, he always complained that my posts are too long and contain too many bombastic words, and since this will be posted on his blog as well, I will end it here.

I know however, if I’d asked David if I could just post a poem, he’d say,

“Haaai, OK lah…”

Life - Charlotte Bronte

LIFE, believe, is not a dream
So dark as sages say;
Oft a little morning rain
Foretells a pleasant day.
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
O why lament its fall ?

Rapidly, merrily,
Life’s sunny hours flit by,
Gratefully, cheerily,
Enjoy them as they fly !

What though Death at times steps in
And calls our Best away ?
What though sorrow seems to win,
O’er hope, a heavy sway ?
Yet hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though she fell;
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Still strong to bear us well.
Manfully, fearlessly,
The day of trial bear,
For gloriously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair !

My dear friend,

I have been following your blog, before your illness and have prayed for you, that God would open your eyes to the truth.

Reading the words of Vincent Thong that you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord & personal Saviour gives me the joy and comfort that you are truly at peace. When I read about your passing away, my heart was troubled, because my fear was that you were not saved. Now that I know that your name is written in the Book of Life, I rejoice with the saints above.

God bless your family and friends and I pray for God's goodness and peace to be over them. I also pray that through this, many would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

I leave with these words:

Philippians 1:21 - For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

2 Timothy 4:7 - I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.


Till we meet again,
Your friend.

Dear God!
Why did God take you away from me?
Isn't fair!
Why me and why now?
I hope to see you again
I know your in my heart but, your not here on this earth anymore
I have to be strong now
For everyone but, sometimes I can't do it
It is to much to handle now at this time
In the end I can't do it
I keep everything inside but everything always falls apart
things are not the same without you
It hurts to think, breath, and sleep
Oh my God its just to hard
Why couldn't they have caught this before hand
i hate those doctors so much
God why him?
He had a family that loved him and he was loved by his friends.
I'm sitting here missing you
Miss your smile and your laugh
I miss everything about you
I hate it that your gone...You take care my friend!
always always deep down..I will remember you!
Thanks for having me being in your space!
LoveJonie, Ah tee aka Waffy

For I can't go where the lights are dimmed.
