Aaaaahhhhhhhh.....

Satisfaction. One of the many things i thank God for. Went to Kowloon Cafe with some of the machas and machis from OCF and had 'tai-chau' aka rice with dishes for the first time in Adelaide (if my memory serves me right). LOL. I am that forgetful but nevertheless, it was just so delicious. It really brought memories back, i used to go with 2 jokers from pj and bu trying out 'tai-chau' restaurants all over PJ adn Klang. What fun we would have, eating like so much rice coz we can't afford so many dishes and then drinking up all the gravy with our rice coz it was just too good to be left there. Sometimes when we were feeling a bit richer, we would order extra dishes and of course, overeat. We would then seat around like old uncles with our now-a-bit-tight pants and pat our satisfied tummies drinking 'sheewt-cha'.

But what i really missed was the bond that we had, the ability to pour out our heart's desires to one another and helping one another. A sense of accountability. We helped build each other up and for that I am so grateful for them. I'm just a tad bit sad cause the last time we ate together, it was during a tough period for one of us. I'm here in Adelaide, one's US-bound, another's returning soon to M'sia after a stint in the UK. I wonder what He holds for each and everyone of us. I can't help but wonder at times.

Would you believe it? I am such a terrible fella, can't find my old pics, guessed they're still in the computer at home. Sigh

Have you ever felt out of place before? That we do not belong. Well, i sometimes have that feeling. It's like you come here to a new place to study and sometimes, no matter how hard you try to fit in, you just can't. Then after couple of years you're here or when you return home for holidays, it's like you also suddenly find yourself not being able to fit in with your old bunch of friends. I call it the curse of studying overseas, haha. But really, i guess it may affect us in one way or another, we can return home and feel out of place coz we've already adjusted to life here but you can also don't feel at home here.

So i asked myself, at the end of the day, what is home? then it hit me. We were all created for His glory. We don't belong here. We belong to somewhere Special. That is our Home. The day when we can finally say, "we're home" and breathe a sigh of relief is the day when we find ourselves wrapped in His arms in Heaven. We would then definitely feel at home. No more questions, no more crying and pain, no more suffering, no more...

Matthew 25:13 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

Are you ready?Man, all this from taking one shower. Joker man.
