NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE
Not those kind of 'white light' NDE if that's what you're thinking about. I NEARLY GOT KNOCKED DOWN BY A TRUCK! Oh my goodness. Just now after biomed ended, i was walking along the main road when my bottle slipped out of my hand and almost rolled onto the main road. Instinctively, i bent down to pick it up. Unknown to me, there was some kind of green truck-like vehicle travelling very closely to the pavement along the road, closely behind me! When i stood up, it brushed past me! Later, Jeremy (one of the biomed trainers who was walking behind) told me that if i was 1 second slower, i would have been hit!!! really thankful for God's grace and His protection =) i'm still reeling from the shock but as J said, "you can be assured that you won't be taken away until your time on earth is up" Indeed, God has a purpose for me on this world, and every circumstance i'm in is not an accident.. And somehow, i felt that my reaction seemed faster than usual.

Mr Goh's Wedding was held at Singapore Thomson Baptist Church. Only 5 people from 2cmF went but it was a wonderful experience =) The ceremony was held in mandarin because the couple felt that it was the language most suitable to their parent and it was a way of honouring them =) so sweet. Could really tell that they loved each other deeply and their relationship was strengthened because God was honoured in it =) Wow. It really served as a strong reinforcement to my 1st LDM lesson.
The pastor used strings to illustrate a good marriage/relationship. When 2 strings are wound together, it is not very strong. Once you let go of one end, everything will loosen. However, when there is one more string, you plait them together and it will remain even if you let go of one end. This string is God's love and because God's love is so abundant, this 'string' can even wind around the 2 other strings without end, strengthening the relationship even further =)
The entire ceremony was so touching that my eyes watered a few times. haha. i'm just emotional la =p
