I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
tired of listening to my parents... sigh.. of coz, they not toking to me, but to themselves. from some bits and pieces that i've managed to catch..(hey..i not eavesdropping k? they simply too loud lah..) they are toking abt money, abt condos, abt winning toto... wah..fantastic conversation... (can u hear my sarcasm?) hmm..especially my mum was saying, "aiyah, my dad passed away that day was ger's (my younger sis) birthday, shld hv buy 4D ah... my so-and-so bought it and she got 2nd prize leh!" my dad's reply," aiyah, whr got so ez win one?" duh~ i cldnt believe my ears... everything's abt money. and i was thinking... so how abt after u die? the money dun mean anything liao lor... think abt eternity! but anyway, noeing them, they wun want to listen one lah. all they think is that when they die, nobody is going to offer the incense papers or burn joss sticks for them... :( i was like... sigh.. y? y dun u prefer to go heaven than to go hell and want ppl to burn them stuff? if they noe wat hell will be like, they will realised that those things are all fake! when in hell, no chance to use them, they are just commercialised items made by those casket companies! anyway, i always emphasize to them that it does not matter. wat it matters is how i treat them when they r alive! die liao then filial, for wat? act for ppl to c?? bible says we are to honour our parents too!
anyway, hopefuli im not offending anyone here. everybodi has their beliefs but i jus wanna tell u the TRUTH!
look.. if u noe if u believe in Buddhism, Taoism, u will go to hell rite? i mean, most lah... if go heaven, u must be a REAL saint b4 u can get there... but the truth is, nobodi can be a saint! now, i tell u, if u believe in Jesus, u will definitely go to heaven, and nobody believes! becomes sceptical. Buddha says that he is not god. ppl worship him as god. Jesus said He is God, and ppl gets sceptical. y? atrocious rite?? well, i guess is the mentality of human to want to get something out of their OWN effort. afterall, all ppl believe there are no free lunch in this world... but actuali y u noe is free? coz is PAID FOR. but of coz, salvation is free, but it is not cheap! Jesus paid it using His blood!
ok.. i think im deviating from my original intention of blogging...haha. actuali i wanted to tok abt the diff of my dad and mum. they have very diverse chtrs. my dad is a boh-hew, boh-chap fellow. he is that kind when-sky-drops-down, i-used-it-as-a-blanket kind (thats a chinese idiom btw..haha - 天塌下来我当被盖). so a result, the burden now lies on my mum's shoulders.. and she is a super manipulative and dun like to be tok back and argued back kind. domineering i would say. when she gives u somehting to eat, u must eat or she will be angry. that explains my size..>_<...i always got the idea she's trying to make us all fat... haha..ok, i sound evil... but my mum is now undergoing slimming therapy, but she still insists all of us to eat SO MUCH! ok, so like i said the burden lies on my mum's shoulders, so she will be extremely easily agitated. of coz, everybody can c she is trying to control her temper. but sometimes, things happened. when that happened, everybodi will shut up. and she is a wonderful mum other than her temper. y do i write all these? k, they were toking abt money all that just now.. then my mum went to the living room, and she saw a packet of something on the table, so she asked my dad.
"yan dao(how my mum calls my dad..hee..), wat did u buy?"
" poh piang. middle one no chili..."
"aiyo, u buy all these for wat?" and i can hear munching sound from her mouth.
so my dad got a bit agitated. "aiyah, i wanna eat one lah."
%&#%$&.. well i can hear their conversation frequenlty peppered with them. i always wonder y they must tok lidat? a habit??
