Well for me, Death is very like this week's theme. Its juz seem like a week to hear lots of death.
First, it started on Sunday with the memorial service of Samuel Toh's Grandma.
Then on Wednesday, heard from Shauna, to inform Nat, that no Singapore National Youth Orchestra (SNYO) practice on thurs because of the death of the Principal Flutist, Danil. Just learned that he died on his 16th birthday.
Friday was our church special event 11:59 based on a theme of death.
So yea... It was a "deadly" week.
So Today, felt like blogging about death.

My Views on Death
In one of 11:59's video, it shows some views of teenagers on "Death" and so I'm gonna start with my views on Death.

Facts of Death
Lets face it, everyone has to experience death one day, unless Jesus returns to bring us home. You and I will die one day. Death is inevitable. So we must really live life to the fullest.

Death can come swiftly or over a long period. But it really hurt the most when death come swiftly, without warning. Like a Robber in the night, stealthily stealing its loot. I know its hurts alot beacause I have gone through it before.

My maternal uncle's death was without warning. Still remembered that night.
It was a wednesday and the G12 members just left the house after G12. Then came the ringing of the phone. My cousin called in but I could not regonised her voice because of her frantic phase and I couldn't catch a single thing she said. I thought she got the wrong number but then she said who she was and then the bad news which gripped me. I couldn't utter a word after that and didn't even tell my bro who was in the living room with me. My mom was not with us at that time but soon heard the bad news over her handphone.
One moment he called home to say that he was coming back for dinner, the next hour, people found him on the floor at a gym without a breath. No one really knew what happened.

Fear of Death?
Haha... honestly, I'm not really afraid to die. If God's willing, let Him take me Home. Its up to Him when I will go home.
But sometimes, I do fear abit. Not the fear of dying but rather the fear of what I won't be able to do with my time on Earth. There alots of things that I wanna do. Then again, it would be crazy to choose this world over Eternity.

Overcoming Death
The only way I feel to overcome death is through Jesus Christ. He has promise us salvation and an eternal home in heaven. For God so much love the world that he sent his one and begotten son, for whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have ever-lasting life- John 3:16... Jesus is the only way for you to live a happy life and fearing no evil because He will carry you in His arms in whatever you do if you follow his ways.

Homesick
Haha... it's not another of my horrible singing.
Sometimes, you may feel like asking why God has let this happen. But God has its reason and purpose behind all this. So who are we to question Him who knows all things. Anyway, you don't need all the answers to all of life's question, you'll just have to know the Lord is with you. He will stay by your side. Sometimes he chooses to calm your storm, sometimes he decide to ride it with you.

This song is especially for this theme. It is written by a great band Mercyme who also wrote songs like "I Can Only Imagine" and others. Sometimes, you just can't handle the pain of losing someone you dearly love. You would feel like joining them so that you're would be together in Heaven. You would feel Homesick, just so far away from your eternal home.
During one time, 8 people who were somehow related to the band Mercyme suddenly passed away over the span of just 6 weeks. So the lead singer, Bart Millard, felt a deep burden in his heart and decided to write this song about how he felt.
