He's Such An Inspiration


I used to attend St Ann's Church in Padawan and I loved this particular priest, Fr.Joseph Goh. 

The way he is, how he talks and gives his sermon is soooo different from other priest. Some priest, when they preach, is right out of the textbook or biblish, so condescending that you can't help but feel your place is in hell.

Another priest that I always love is Fr.Terry Burke. I always always love his sermons. Very inspiring. 

Fr. Joseph Goh is very soft spoken, down to earth, humble, inspiring and most of all, non-judgemental. He is the perfect example of how you can be religious but not judgmental. 

To me, he felt more like a wise brother than a priest. Someone who guide you religiously and yet understand your human struggles. I always look forward to attend the mass, just to hear his sermons. 

In fact when my father passed away, he was the priest who celebrated the funeral mass. He was the one who came over to the house for blessings and prayer when my dad was sick. He is one of the best priest I've ever met.

I was sad when a few years back he left the church to pursue his interest.

And then one day, while at work, a customer walked in. I couldn't recognised him at first. But when he chatted to my colleague, the way he talks and his voice sounded familiar. But it didn't ring any bell yet.

Not until he walked out of the store. 

Look up his name and yes, he is now Dr. Joseph Nicholas Goh (he is a Phd graduate). Googled his name and came across his page and I couldn't be more inspired by this person!

"I try to see God present in a human person even before I ask him or her what his or her religious beliefs are, or even if he or she has no religious beliefs. I am more than eager to learn from people’s notions of life and faith, and I am convinced that those notions will help me to become a better human person."  - excerpt from his blog

If I would remember him there and then, I would tell him that he inspires me to become a better Christian, but most of all, to become a better human being.

Beauty In Its Simplicity

Photo courtesy of Paul I've known Renna from many years ago, back to the days when both of us are still students. Along with few other friends, we were always cramped into 22B on the weekends, doing a lot of foolish crazy things. We shared many memories of trips with the late Dr.Jugah and his family. Oohh those were the days. And then, life happens and most of us parted ways. Usually meeting up again during weddings. Renna and I were the kind of friends who don't talk on a regular basis but when we do, we just pick up where we left off. Of course, as she is friends with my family, she is also a family friend. God sometimes  always works in a mysterious way. Who would have thought that many years down the road from when we were just measly students, Renna would marry my brother's good friend?  The story started when my brother asked his friend/colleague, Corbin to tag along for a lunch meet up with Renna, and then they say, the rest is history. I'm tr...

Pulau Perhentian Travelogue Day 2: Ayuh Snorkelling Mencari Nemo

Pulau Perhentian Travelogue Day 2: Ayuh Snorkelling Mencari Nemo Wow banyaknya anak ikan. Aummm Belum baca cerita Day 1? Klik disini ye. Pagi-pagi buta seawal pukul 7.30 pagi iols dah bangun. Bangun awal sebab semangat nak terjah breakfast buffet hotel. Yang agak mengecewakan, weols semua 10 orang tapi yang hotel bagi complimentary untuk 6 orang sahaja. Jadinya yang 4 orang lagi tu makan megi dan roti dalam bilik jeh. Kalau tak complimentary, the breakfast buffet is RM30 per person. Hmm. I somehow think it's not worth it So weols rotate la. Hari ni iols breakfast kat restoran, besoknya iols breakfast dalam bilik. Our fav spot Restoran Sharila resort ni ada outdoor seating. Favourite spot weols is the gazebo on the cliff, overlooking the sea, serenaded by the sound of the waves. Such a wonderful experience. Aktiviti Di Pulau Perhentian Day 2 weols decide untuk snorkelling.  Ada banyak vendor untuk uols pilih kalau nak snorkelling ni tapi semua lebih kurang sama...
