26th October 

Happy Deepavali to all who celebrate.

My aunt got news from the hospital saying my uncle in critical stage, my dad and a few of them went to visit my uncle, I wanted to, but mother said you and another sister visited before, so both of you stay at home (also because the car has no space to fit us).

I stayed at home whole day, praying in my heart for him. 

Then when they came back from hospital, I heard the news that my uncle's heart beat stopped, then doctor injected him for his life to sustain.

30th October

After church, had lunch with youths at the RM 3.50 chicken rice stall.

Then I received called from my sister saying that I have to go back Dengkil home town. 

Because my uncle just passed away. I remembered the time was around 1 pm.

He passed away in Dengkil house after seeing his father, also my grandfather.

I went to trained for repeat JPJ test after the lunch - but just for a while, because have to be at home town around 5 pm, and could not concentrate well also after receiving the news - reached home at 3 pm - waited for my siblings together go back Dengkil. We fetched eldest sister who just flew back from Singapore, then only proceed to grandpa house. 

As we reached the house, we paid respect to my late uncle, who is lying in the coffin. We went back home after hanging around with the other family members who arrived.

31st October to 2nd November

We went back home town every night after work until the day when my late uncle is going to be buried at the cemetery also in Dengkil, that is 11 am on the 2nd November. They posted the obituary in newspaper - Sin Chew Daily (KL & Selangor).

Thanks for all who came - families, relatives and friends. 

My repeat JPJ test was scheduled on 1st November, failed tremendously - my feet touched the ground on the first round - number 8 test, immediately I was called to get out from the place. Failed again - heart broken, money gone - reported and went back to work after that, there gone my half-day leave.

Blessed are those who mourned for they will be comforted.

  

The 'bow'

It was when we were on the way back to Cameron Highlands on the first day of Raya...it appears while we were on highway - I expressed, particularly to my mother,  "Mom, look! Its rainbow, on your left!" (being the youngest in the car, that's how I express myself - never seen rainbow for very long time)

The 'bow'

That time when I saw the rainbow, I remembered the covenant that God made.

In the bible God mentioned that the rainbow is the sign of the covenant which God make between Him and Noah, and every living creature that of all flesh, what is in the covenant is: waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh - the covenant was made after the flood which destroy everything except those in the ark.

Below is the extract taken from Genesis 9:

⁸ Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying: ⁹ “And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants^[b] after you, ¹⁰ and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every beast of the earth. ¹¹ Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 

¹² And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: ¹³ I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. ¹⁴ It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; ¹⁵ and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. ¹⁶ The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” ¹⁷ And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.” (Genesis 9:8-17, NKJV)
