New Stage of Life...

i was on the way home from sengkang this morning, on bus 159, when i saw a funeral procession... taoist funeral procession... the person who passed away had many family members... i was reminded of my maternal grandfather who just passed away at the beginning of this month...
near my house there is this funeral wake... buddhist funeral wake... i was reminded of my paternal grandmother who passed away 6 years ago... different things remind different people of different events... now, whenever i past by the void deck that held my grandfather's funeral wake, i would be reminded that he's no longer around... whenever i see bus 157 i'll think of nanyang girls... whenever i see bus 151 i think of nus... hahaha... a variety of things... but life still goes on... and life needs to go on... and looking back at my life, i've past the baby and toddler stage... i've past the primary school stage... i've past the secondary school stage... i've past the jc stage... i've past the university stage... realised i dont go according to erikson's 8 life stages... because i dun think my experiences were not accordance to it... hahaha... and a few days later, i'll be embarking on another new stage of life... i'm starting work... thank God for His grace that i've managed to secure this job... indeed, i did not need to worry about job, because God assured that He would plan something for me... and i got the job within the month i officially graduated from nus... :) working life can be quite tough, especially when i have debts to clear, and sometimes it worries me that i might not have enough to survive, especially after i went through my finances... but i was also reminded that God has been sustaining me so far... life was much tougher in the past without Christ in my life... and although i've received Christ into my life, it does not mean that life would be perfect... i still face ups and downs... but God's grace and love is enough... and by faith i will continue to walk on... i also have the support of william and other brothers and sisters in Christ... i'm blessed... and whever i think of these, problems appear to be insignificant... other than starting work, i will also be baptised on 15th november... it's another stage of my Christian life... you are welcomed to come for my baptism service! do drop me a sms or give me a call if you're interested... many more new stages to come... ;)
