kelvin.. a special guy

Well... i used to think that Life is short, play hard... Well, i used to believe that as long as i believe , i will go to heaven .. i dont think thats really true anymore.. Because in order to believe, YOU REALLY HAVE TO BELIEVE and commit yourself to Lord.

Firstly, You must have christ in your heart, your soul... ( like what winson said)
You need to have the salvation of the soul, not your mind, your body , etc... THE SOUL. yes ... the soul.
Friday night ( 13/1/06) marks one of my darkest day to date.. My best brother, my buddy, Kelvin David passed away and hence return to the heavenly home. He had been fighting against stomach cancer for 3 yrs and eventually moves on .. Well , you can ask me .. Hey are you happy or sad that he is dead.. As a brother, a close friend, of course i still want him around. i can be selfish to hope he is still here... but think about all the pain that he was going thru, i am glad he dont have to suffer anymore.. and he is in heaven now :)

Sure , i do miss him.... i miss those days where we have bbq together, we had a rampage in orchard, who can ever forget him holding onto a baseball bat with a ribbon ( it was his bday gift)
and we were having a wild time in orchard.. running up the escalator ( opp direction) just to catch the zhou yuen fatt ( replacement killer) for free. It was a bet with the security guard. He say if we can run all the way up , we watch the show for free.. ( lido theatre... escalator very long one , dont play play) we did it...

Who will ever forget during the BBQ, he got hit by a can of coke.. those were the days.. One thing i will never ever forget , the night when he knows he got cancer, he called me.... asked me not to be upset and make me promise him not to show extra care and concern to him due to it... It was tough for me to say yes because I CARE... but i have to respect his decision... Phone call lessen .... we still kept close to each other in church , msn ...supper, music practice...


Why cant i call him ... people will ask.... the reason why so is because we seldom call each other and just because by calling him will make him feel sensitive that i am being extra caring....
The last hours before he dies.... i received a call from lionel , he was telling me that Kel was feeling weak, first thing i thought of was mass smsing ... i sms about 50 + ppl and also urge them to forward the message to their frds.. all i request for was a prayer that God grant him peace, grant his whole family peace. Tat night , indeed , God let him go peacefully...


Kelvin , my brother.. the few regrets that i ever have are.. not to be able to meet up with you , speak to you during your last hours.. How i wish you will have a chance to drop by to jam on my drumset... i will miss you my brother...

Where should i go from here... Brother, you been an inspriation ... you really had commited yourself to the Lord, you had left an impact to people around you .. more were touched, believes..
You even awaken me .. thank you my brother... your death makes me thought of the true purpose of life... things that you keep telling me times after times...For all who thinks that money, looks, materials are everything... trust me.. these are all props.... we come as a soul... we leave as a soul, if we truly believe and really submit and we shall leave with blessing, christ in us and eternal life... think about it...
Props or eternal life.... its your choice...

A word of advise..... Live life daily as if its your last day ... ask yourself, what you going to do today ... ?

As for me.. i already know what i will and what i want to do ....a good testimony and i will continue to learn more about christ..

Your life is like a deck of cards( BIG 2) Its up to you to throw your cards.... its all in your hand....
if you want to take a gamble and wait for 5 cards... go ahead.. if you want to play safe.. better discard early then ... :) i think its better to be safe than sorry .... i will be racing on and eventually one day i will be in one of many room up there together with KEL :)


For all ppl who misses kelvin .. i have this to say to you

" For those who misses you just because you are no longer with us physically, let them be reminded that you will always be in their heart .. "

Kelvin , my brother.. i see ya again....:)
