"Hey Eejay! When you getting a girlfriend??? Better start finding one soon ah! Else we will bring you to Malaysia and help you find a Malaysian girlfriend!"
These were the ringing words that Uncle Victor and godma Kelly would always say to me either via sms, email or whenever they pop by Singapore. And it never fails to just bring a smile and laughter to me... both of them are SERIOUSLY very concerned for my love life! haha...
I got to know Uncle Vic and godma Kelly back in year 2004 in church and I informally came under their mentorship by constantly shadowing them along, observing and learning from them. And we would always enjoy the time of fellowship best over a cup of teh-tarik. Trust me, I never liked teh-tarik or teh-C until I met both of them! haha... It was always over these teh tarik fellowship that we shared our hearts out... about mentoring youths, church matters, our families, about BGR.... basically everything under the sun! Our joke was always that we live in a 3G era, and our topics are also 3G - God, G12 Vision and Girls! hahahaha......
One of the most important principle that I caught from Uncle Vic and godma Kelly is the authenticity of their lives. They are who they are, genuine and transparent and never trying to hide anything from the people around. The greatest teaching and discipleship that I learnt from them was not from some great theories they formulated, but purely just by observing the way they lead their lives and how open they are to blessing the people around them.
Inspired by them, I also have teh-tarik fellowship with the youths that I mentor, and learn to open up my life to share boldly with them. Through Uncle Vic and godma Kelly, I have come to understand that for people to open up to you, You must first open up yourself to them. :)
Thank you Uncle Vic and godma Kelly for opening up your lives to me.... I am a live that was blessed and changed.
