Wa...this week so sianz man...busy preparing tests & all...seldom go online nowadays. I'm so glad its Good Friday tomorrow!
Hmmm..actually I'm really not the blogger type of person (like Andy perhaps?) cos I feel that there are so many things you can't write on the blog, like for eg, I can't stand Serene or buey tahan San san...can't possibly write on the blog let them read right? HAHAHAHA...okay I'm KIDDING if you haven't realised...
Anyway, today's test didn't go too well la...didn't finish my paper & got a handful of questions wrong. Sigh..You know, the feeling of leaving a test venue knowing that you didn't do well isn't a good feeling, I'm sure you all understand what that feels like la..heh...Was feeling quite sian the whole day la, but now abit better liao.:) At least can smile & laugh with my sister just now.
How I wish I could have a videocam that's on recording mode every second...I wanna record those moments when I ka jiao my dad's face, when I mess with my sister's hair...I love my family man...:) Walking & laughing with them makes me realise that life as a student really isn't just about studying, but its about relationships & family & love...I'm so glad I've such a caring & loving family that's so fun & funny...:)
Ok...I can just go on & on. Those from NUS would know that this week was harvest week. Last night I was sharing the gospel on campus during DG, and the people we approached were the normal "no time", "can't talk", "not interested" kind of people..so kinda boring. But the last one I shared with was WAH PIANG man~~~!!!
He's a part-time salesman, very talkative. When I wanted to share the 4SL with him, he snatched my book away & said I wasn't sincere. He said "You must share from your heart!!" So I tried reciting the main points of the 4SL from memory. Then he said "Wah lau!! You very lousy leh!!! Don't even know your product!!! Your God sure punish you one!! You're supposed to remember everything about your product!! How do you expect to convince me like that???" (I repeat, he's a part time salesman). He gave me comments like "Why you sound so not confident now?? Just now when you introduced yourself initially sound so confident..where's your confidence now??? You must be confident when introducing your product!!!" / "Your presentation skills very lousy leh!!! Like that how to convince me to believe you??" / "(He looked at the other filled up survey forms that I had and said) Tsk tsk tsk...so lousy!! All reply no no no...if it was me they sure say yes one!!!"
Haha...had a hard time trying to capture his attention to listen to me. He frequently gets out of point telling me about his MLM (Multi level Marketing) & all...Dunno whether to feel discouraged or encouraged man..on one hand, I really think he's just trying to play a fool with me. On the other hand, its quite nice talking to him; afterall, this isn't the normal 4SL repsonses I will get from normal people. I spent about an hour talking to him & ended up inviting him for my church service on Friday morning. He still haven't gave me an answer yet.
Even though he didn't sound serious almost the whole one hour when I talked to him, I really pray that what I spoke did hit a chord in his heart. Even though he never receive Christ on the spot, I really pray that this is a seed sown on fertile soil, for someone else (or me?) to reap in the harvest when he's ready. Even though he keeps laughing & criticizing my lack of professionalism & presentation, I pray that my half-past-six gospel presentation will bring him a step closer to making a decision for Christ.
It wasn't all discouragements la actually...He did say that he was quite impressed with my persistence ('cos I kept trying to bring him back to the point) & he commented "Wah lau...you all really good ah...this thing won't earn you anything one you all also can sit here so long to talk about it." I treat that as a compliement rather than mockery la.:) Indeed, sharing the gospel won't earn us salvation or earn us $$$; but its Christ's love that compels us. That's why Paul can say "Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!" I always remember something that one person (a Christian) told me "If you know the cure for AIDS, why won't you tell others about it?" In the same way, I've found the cure for death! & what I can do for my friends & loved ones, and for God, is to share it! As long as God is pleased, it doesn't matter even if people aren't serious or make fun of me. My purpose is ultimately to please God.:)
Wa...that's quite a long sharing. Hmmm...I still have 2 + 1 PROJECTS (the plus 1 is the Gen12:2 support raising project) due in the beginning of April & I've BARELY STARTED! Wah piang..please pray for me that I'll have the strength, time management & wisdom to meet the deadlines. & pray for a constant dependance on God to accomplish all that I need to finish.
Thanks for listening! Jia you everyone!
Cheers,
Vincent
