Blessed a soul today.

Just came home from dinner with mum.
Was out for the whole day.

It was Varsity’s welcome event for the
new comers. People who are coming
up from JC or Poly cluster. It was something
like an amazing race thing.

We had worship before the event.
And God’s presence was just there. =)

I just want to thank God for today.

Even if I forget today..
There’s one thing that I’ll never forget.

We had this station at Bras Basah Complex where we had
to find a non-local (tourist) and sing them a song with
smelly tou-fu in our mouths. And unless they say good
and give us 2 thumbs up, we will not pass the station.

So we approached many ang-mos (caucasians),
but many of them rejected and walked away
even before we could finish our sentence.
And some just came up with excuses.

Finally, we walked up to this black man.
I think he’s african or something,
about probably in his 50s or 60s.

He just crossed the road and he was
trying to wipe off some stain on his pants.
So he stood there.

One of our CG members approached him and said,
“Hi sir, can we sing you a song?”

“No no, I have no time. I need to rush off.” *frowning & still wiping pants*

“It won’t take much of your time, it’s just 1 minute, just 1 minute,
we’re just playing a game and we need to sing someone a song.”

There was a pause.. *Opening bag of smelly tou-fu*

*Each of us in the group pinched some smelly tou-fu from the bag*

“Hurry. I have no time.” *sour face, still wiping pants*

*And we popped it in our mouths*

“One, two, three,
May the good God bless you,
(with our hands stretched out towards him
and he looked up at all of us)
may the good God bless you,
may the good God bless you,
may the good God bless you.”
(in the happy birthday melody)

When we finished singing this to him..
I tell you.. His countenance lifted.

He looked at us, really surprised.

And he said this to us,
“That is wonderful. I used to sing this song.” *smile*

And he started singing back to us.
“May the good Lord bless & keep you,
May the good Lord bless & keep you,
May the good Lord bless & keep all you angels,
(gesturing to everyone in the CG)
May the good Lord bless & keep you.”

Then we told him to give us 2 thumbs up and say good.
Haha.. Had the whole thing video-ed because the
station masters required us to.

Oh my.. I tell you.. It really touches my heart..
I don’t know how God has used us..
Through such a simple song like that, to bless people.

I’ll never forget how his countenance lifted.
And it just brought joy to my heart.
Even now when I think of it, I smile to myself.
