look before you leap; check before you sleep!
February 2, 2009After a long night of making love, he notices a photo of another man on her nightstand by the bed.
He begins to worry. “Is this your husband?” he nervously asks.
“No, silly,” she replies, snuggling up to him.
“Your boyfriend, then?” he continues.
“No, not at all,” she says, nibbling away at his ear.
“Is it your dad or your brother?” he inquires, hoping to be reassured.
“No, no, no! You are so hot when you’re jealous!” she answers.
“Well, who the hell is he, then?” he demands.
“That’s me before the surgery,” she replied.
…
HORRROR..
Party-hoppers, be warned
Don’t give in to temptation!
I just heard that you passed away in your sleep last night. I KNOW YOU CAN’T READ THIS but I want to put in writing that I will miss you.
You may have left this world young but you have made a big impact on my life. I hope you went to heaven knowing this. I think you did as I have told you and others of this before, especially your father.
I will remember you best for your super sensitive heart – that of a gentle poet who cares. Your great love for God and ready willingness to help others. For your honesty in all the things you did and your humility in wanting to learn from others even though you were clearly so intelligent.
Why did God want to take you home so soon I do not know. I dreamed and prayed that in the years to come I would hear news of you making a positive impact in government service or even politics, helping the nation to usher in a new breed of young godly civil servants or politicians who would help by God’s grace be catalysts for positive change.
For you to be taken home so soon is something I do not know how to respond to except to say that God knows best. Now that you are in the presence of the God you love and serve, He has surely explained this all to you. For me I will try to be patient and wait till it is my turn to go … and then we will talk again.
I’m still in shock, and grieving … and tears.
Lord, I’m in utter silence.
I’ll miss you.
I’m in so much shock, it’s so hard to believe. Oh, no! :’(
My good ibridge camper ‘08 EL Sanctuary Markus, a fellow ibridger who is passionate in what he believed in and gave his all to serve His Master. What a total surprise & shock when I heard of your demise. It is with regret that I could not have known you sooner but your living legacy will remain with me till the day I return to join you. Thanks for being yourself and showing me the passion in serving others in your leadership. LORD, let Markus Ng’s family, relatives & friends be comforted in due time and recognize that u are still sovereign…
I’m sorry I haven’t taken the chance to know you better in this lifetime. But I’ve observed a quiet strength in you. I’ll see you later.
I have to echo Greg’s thoughts. See you again.
Markus,
I heard the news this evening. And I was shocked. Because you left a really deep impression on me, though I only met you once, and actually only interacted with you because we were practising with Deborah for the worship during El Sanctuary Ibridge.
Don’t really know you, but that one encounter, one worship practice touched me.
Enjoy worshipping HIM bro! No more out of tune or out of rhythm…
[...] I found it here. [...]
Ohh that was quite good
The kind of cringing joke but I didn’t expect it.
Hope you dont mind, I reposted it on my own blog but I left a link back to this page
i don’t know you personally but i am so touched about what has been said.
i gotta meet you when i get to heaven!
One word: wow!
i will always really only remember you as 10 year old markus – the new kid in srkdu – but from what i know of the later markus, even to the end, you lived a fulfilling life.
certainly, in times like this, there are a lot of “shoulda, woulda, coulda”s, “if only”s and “i wish”-es, but as i have learned that in life, things happen, either for unfathomable reasons all their own or, perhaps, completely randomly.
my condolences to your family who must undoubtedly be grieving, but my thoughts go out to your memory: you grew into a fine young man, and although – and i know many will agree – your life was far too short, i am sure it was a life well lived.
peace, friend.
I had the good fortune to meet young Markus last Sunday while gathering to attend a fellowship organised by ‘Ahmadiyya’ in Kg Nakoda. He impressed me as a gentle, passionate and intelligent person. His ‘Anak Bangsa Malaysia’ in his name card was one of his clever ways to fight for equal rights, irrespective of race or religion.
I complimented him and said we need more people like him to be role models and leaders of the future.
He smile sheepishly and just shrugged off and said it was his duty and his conscience will prick him if he turns a blind eye to the injustice that he witnesses almost on a daily basis.
We said our goodbyes with the believe we would meet again soon.
I don’t know why he had to leave us so abruptly. What are your plans God, for those he had left behind? Especially his family who have to go on living without him. He had so much going for himself and for us. Yet God’s ways are not our ways. So we shall leave him in God’s comforting and loving embrace and thank God for allowing Markus to touch our lives forever in his short life.
Thank you Markus for touching my life.
