Miracle

i left my house at 8+pm... first, i went to Compass Point and bought a soft toy each for Nicholas and Natasha because they will be flying to Australia at night... i had planned to see them off at the airport, knowing nothing but a little information from Nic that their flight will be at 11pm...

after that, i boarded the 27 bus all the way to the airport... at first, i alighted at terminal 1... i looked at the screen and my sixth sense told me "not here." or maybe the Holy Spirit prompted me... but i was confident it wasnt there as i sensed it, though there were flights going Australia...

anyway, i took another bus down to terminal 2... i walked as fast as i could, knowing that i was late... as i reached the departure hall, i saw the screen and it said "Melbourne Gate open"...



my heart started to sink and at the same time, hoping that i could see Nic before he board the plane... i searched the entire belt 8 and he was not there... i stood outside the "Check-in" area and was hoping to find him... i couldnt... i really felt so bad... after all the preparation, the hopes and desire, i almost broke down... i was blank, mind blank... i walked aimlessly up and down... i even went to the viewing area and looked at the planes, just to see him the last time... i did not... i went back the screen and looked... it was written "boarding" and i looked and tried to find other planes that was also going to Australia at 11+pm... gates were all opened... my heart was really heavy... i could almost not take it... i called him so so soooo many times and yet, his house phone was engaged.. i sat at the seat, thinking thinking thinking... why?! why didnt you call me? i did not blame God, in fact, i blamed myself... at that point of time, i hated myself... why didnt i call him and ask too... why didnt i have the courage to call him? why was i so late? all the whys...
"WHERE ARE YOU?"

just as i wanted to leave the airport, i managed to dialed his number and give it a shot one more time... it rang once... i hung up... i didnt know what i was doing... i called again and i held myself back from hanging up the hp... his grandma answered... however, since she's from China and has this chinese accent, i couldnt really understand all that she said, but rather, most... so i asked her about the details and stuff about Nic's flight... she knows nothing... not even the time they left the houes... i was disappointed... i hung up... then i thought, no, i couldnt give up... so i called again, and this time, i asked for his parents number... well well well, she knows none too... i was speechless, and i asked if she could find, if Nic did wrote anywhere... nope... i didnt want to stop here... i kept asking how can i reach them... how can i know if they were already on the plane or not... just then, i think Nic's grandfather came home... he was able to give me Nic's father's number... i was glad that i could have this last hope... immediately after i disconnected the line with his grandma, i called his dad... in my heart, i really prayed it would ring... 9....7... as i dialed, nerves ran through my spine... "...the singtel costumer........" and i hung up... arggghhhh... i supposed there were already on the plane... (for your infor, you have to switch off the hp when you board) so, i wrote a two-page sms, saying that i was there and i missed the chance of saying good-bye... asked him to tell them i will miss them and..... ya..

i tried my best... i hate the feeling of failure... hate it... i dragged my feet, down to the screen, i stared at it... "Sydney belt 7/8"... i walked, without any hopes left, i wanted to search again... even though i knew at the back of my head that i am just wasting my time and energy... but on the other hand, i dont want to lose any opportunity... well, first glance, not a sight... walked on, i saw some familiar people... as i walked closer, i couldnt believe my eyes... Nic, Natasha, his mum, god-ma and another grandma stood at the side, looking lost... at that point of time, i felt my legs were strengthless, as if they were cemented on the floor... my mind went blank again... all i could think of was how great is my God... i was stunned and surprised... i merely starred at them... just cant take my eyes off them... i really couldnt not believe, after all that waiting, almost an hour, i found them... it was hard to describe that kind of delight... yes...

for a few seconds, my eyes did not blink... the-starring-at-them made his mum noticed me and she waved to me... i started to feel the strength from my legs as i strolled to them in disbelief... "Hello Nic" i said, as i grabbed his head and "screw" it with my other hand... "i almost left!" but i was really glad them i saw him... i kept praising God... and "thank" Him for playing a prank with me... usually i was the one playing pranks on others... now i got the chance to taste my own medicine.. hahaha... then, he's dad came... i felt so embarrassed because of the sms i sent... i wondered if he read that or not... anyway, they checked in their luggage and went on the check-in in that we-are-not-suppose-to-go-in-without-a-ticket place... hahahaa.. ya... i managed to pass Nic and his mei mei the soft toy i bought from mini-toons... i was so so so happy... and so in love with Jesus...

Nic and I.. he looked so tired...


after all that, i was told that his dad wasnt going with them... he drove me home... weeee... but was still embarrassed with the calls and sms... hahahaa...

"Nic, as i am typing this, you are probably up in the air so many thousand feet above... i pray that God will protect you and those with you and also pray for a safe journey to and fro... hope you like the soft toy and i will miss you... if it werent for you, i wouldnt wait for so long... well, i'm already missing you..."

Nic will be back on 17th Dec but he will be going to China again on 22nd Dec... aww... can i go?

"Dear God, i really thank You for all the surprises You gave me... really, Your thoughts are higher than mine and i believe all these are Your plans... i would say that this is a miracle and never expect it... i'm touched... as i was walking home from where Nic's dad dropped me, i saw the cross on St Anne's Church and i just cant help but grinned... with my thumbs up, let me tell You, Daddy God, you got me this time!! (:"

...Jesus loves me this I know...
...I love You Jesus, deep down in my heart...

The AH BENG teacher

finally, after almost 5 visits to the childcare centre, my "Ah Beng" attatude is out... i grabbed the guy's shirt and was talking to him like he owed me some thousand bucks... he sobbed... he was sorry... reason why i did that was because he was playing with his food... he was making fun of the food... he was acting he got chocked... he dropped many rice on the floor... he said that papaya was apple... the form teacher was bathing the other children... we are behind time-table... he apologised... i still love him...
