Easter Sunday...

Another week pass like a breeze...it's more then 2 weeks since dear blenheim left us...
Though life continues, deep in our hearts there is something missing---someone's smile, someone's laughter, someones...presence...

i'm sure thorugh this incident..some of us have been questioning God why such a thing could happen to blenheim. Some of u may even doubt God on his intervention...well freinds,
I believe this incident happen for a reason only God knows...and i'm sure for us...it's a period of the test in faith...It clearly shows how delicate life is...stay strong...live strong...

On friday it was sky's younger brother birthday...we went to his house for a mini buffet.
great food there!!...cuttlefishballs, mutton,chicken,sliced potato,mixed vegetables, chicken curry and many more...so fortunate eh? happy birhtday charles...hope u like the present..

Godma, just came back from malaysia yesterday...bought us some stuff =) *wink
I made something for her this few days...and will collect it tommorow...it's for her to put in the mini museum in her house...heh...i shan't expose what it is...in case she read my blog...ha

Today is Easter sunday Pastor preached many thigns..but i'll summarise it with a poem thingy..

Have you ever stopped to wonder
Why they called Good Friday "good"?
it seems that sad, black day
could be misunderstood.

How His Father must have anguished
as he watched his dear son die,
not for crimes that he had done
but for sinners such as i

what kind of love could be so great
to suffer willingly
the penalty for soemone else---
his blood was shed for you and me

but then when sunday came around
and death had lost it's sting,
that glorious morning was victory
for Jesus Christ, the King!

Now he's alive forevermore,
the Father's will was done.
Forgiveness, pardon-full and free,
by trusting in God's Son.

It was a "good" Good Friday
For the theif who died there too;
he took his place in heaven
when that long, dark day was through.

i am grateful to my saviour, my life to him i owe
i'll serve and love him always,
Because he loved me so. Amen...

If u are wondering if i came out with this...err...no..haha...i copied it from somewhere...i read it and it was really meaningfull..so i thought i shared it with u guys...

we guys will be having our exams from tomorow onwards all the way to the mid of next month...
wish us the best and do pray for us yar...may our results be good testimonia's to God..despite this tough times...Take care my friends...
For the rest who are having exams too..."wish u all the best" study smart eh?"
I'll pray for wisdom and strength upon u...take care

Life goes on...

Hi freinds, it's me again..just as i promise, i'll update my blog =)

On friday, after school, i went to the adidas sale at singapore expo hoping i could grab a few shirts and buy soemthing for maple and natalie...but to no avail..there were throngs of people and we even had to line up to deposit our bags before entering the hall...most of the nice shirts were wiped out. They sold shoes, bags, soccer balls..shirts, blades..and suprising adidas goggles..


later in the evening me and the gang went back to our alma matta for a concert... well, it wasn't as grand as we expected, but the dance was pretty cool...it's nice to be back in our secondary school where the fondest memories of our life took place...

after the concert, we guys went to holland village crystal jade to have our dinner...
nice place to have dinner but there wasn't much of a restaurant atmosphere...because of the kitchen lay out...u could hear cheifs yelling, pans and woks knocking, sizzling sounds of water and fire....so imgainge the noises you would hear whilst talking to your friend! after dinner, myself, Micheal, Sky and jun xiong took a cab to blenheim's place...we are going to spend a night there..

We sat at the living room, talked to godma, natalie, blen's dad, maple...we talked about blenheim and life and how we should really treasure our life. Not long, uncle went to take a bottle of wine out..each of us took a glass...the wine was bought by uncle to share with blenheim, but din't had the chance, so we shared the wine..Kien tat took his first sip and spat out the wine...he could not take the taste..tsk tsk..
oh well...this is our brother kien tat here..heh..me and sky drank a cup each...neo..amazignly was the best drinker, he drank almost half a bottle of wine..woot..haha..well friends, i'm not encouraging u all to drink wine...
we guys are all of legal age...and not addicted to it...so yah..please dun try if u are underage...honestly it doesn't taste good..heh..

we talked till about 2am, then we all went to bed..we guys slept in blenheim's room...
really comfy! the next day, we woke up at 9am..went downstairs to have breakfast with godma and maple..later during the day, godma distributed the clothes to us...we choose want we wanted...each of us took a pair of jeans...hmm...godma gave me blen's watch!
i really like it..because it's something which throughtout my life will remember..
this watch is my best friend's watch...a watch which would always remind me that time in our life is precious and remind me to take care of this family (i promised blenheim in hospital that i will take care of this family)...a watch which remind me to live my life to the fullest...love you godma!

In the afternoon, a few more of blen's closer friends came, for lunch,we had kueh pati, mee siam, and drumsticks...really delicious...
we talked and migled around till evening about 6pm...we then went back home...
Godma is much better this few days, but still misses kaikai alot alot...little thigns she does at home reminds her about kaikai...well friend's do continue to pray for the family yar? the parents as well as both sisters...take care everyone..

thank you for posting all the ecouragements in the blog as well as in my e-mail for the family...i will be printing everything in 2 days time, file it nicely and giving it to my godma..so feel free to e-mail me yur encouraments or any words u would like to tell the family yar?

Life now...

On sunday, we carried blenheim's coffin...this was like sending my best friend to heaven...
At the Mandai crematorim...it was one experience...u wont want to go through in your life...
i gave a short eulogy during a short service before sending blenheim off...it was heart breaking for me but i had to control...we were then led into this room with an enormous glass panelwith a view below..moments later blenheim's coffin moved in..it was on the way to be cremated..this was the worst part of the whole day...we sang Amazing grace as it began to move in..
everyone cried...i had never sang a song so sorrowfully before...

Well friends, i really do hope u treasure the people around you from now on...and i hope my blog did impact your life some way or another....Life is more then what we see...take care...

God bless richly

Day 15

I remembered blenheim once told me “Live Life To The Fullest” this words had been in my heart ever since.

Knowing him for more then half a decade, he had always been encouraging, supporting and caring for me. Through the ups and downs of our friendship all these years, it had definitely bonded and strengthened us closely and strongly together.

I will always remember the great times together with him and the gang (kien tat, qing shun, sean, and jun xiong)

Beach volley and chalet at sentosa, snorkeling and fishing at trengganu, window shopping at orchard, lunch in school, dinner at long john silver, and not forgetting the many late night movies and supper together. Sharing our dreams and hopes. Kai is a good listener and very sensitive to the needs of others. Always putting others before self. He is someone who could always go an extra mile for any of his friends. During this many years of friendship, I rarely see him lose his temper. He is someone who would constantly remind his friends to be strong and move on whenever obstacles came our way.

Us friends had always envied how close his family was with him. His parents were more then just parents, but friends too.

Time flies like a jet plane, sweet memories like this stays in our hearts forever. It takes a finger to choose a friend, a handshake to make acquaintance and a whole heart to keep the friendship going.

Just before kai was admitted to the hospital, I was talking to him about booking the Dubai and Paris trip with him. Asking for his particulars before I make the booking. Few hours later. Our plans were dashed. His stay in the hospital seems like an illusion, it seemed impossible that something like that is happening to him.


These 15 days had definetly changed our perspective of life, his fighting spirit throughout this ordeal never ceased. His ordeal also led many to Christ and strengthened many people’s faith. Life is precious. Learn to cherish your love ones around you. Treasure the time u spend with them. U will never know the will of God. Life on earth is temporal; it’s not how long we live our life, but how we live our life. Blenheim had definitely live his life to the fullest this 19 years of his life. “Friendship often ends up in love, but love in friendship-Never!”

Khai is off to a better place. Rejoice and Glorify God.

Tuesday, March 08, 2005

Day 10

Blen's mum msg me at 3am plus in the morning saying blen's heartbeat was unstable and that the whole family is on the way to the hospital. i rushed to the hospital with qing shun. Blen's mum, dad and Natalie were there praying hard for blen.
When i saw blenheim, there were splashes of blood on his face and bed..his heart beat was at 150+ going up and down with a difference of at least 20...it was very unstable...
The doctor's say that if blen's hearbeat were to stop again. There will not be much hope..
I stand beside blenheim, and pray and pray together with the family...asking God to calm his heart and watch over blen...The Lord hears our cries..continue to pray people...
2 hours later, blen's heart beat went to as low as 73..i refuse to believe that everything will end that instant...i continued praying with faith...trusting and believing..

"Your mercy flows like a river wide, and healing comes from your hands, Suffering Children are safe in your arms, there is none like you" No one can touch my heart like you do...
Blen's dad fetched qing shun home because he was too tired, i stayed on and continue to pray..
Thank God..the heartbeat began to stabalise...Blen's Godmother was there praying for blen all night long without resting..Before i left the hospital, Blen's heartbeat was stable at 80+ and oxygen level was also around 80+. Blen's dad bought breakfast for everyone, milo and kaya thoast...Blen, fight on! The hand's of God will Hold u fast...dun look back...continue fighting your way through the battle...
I did not have school today, and when blenheim's condition was stabalise, i went home to rest.. in the evening, philliane, jun xiong, kien tat went to visit kai. Today was neo's turn to stay at the hospital...we have a roaster planned. The latest update was Blen's heartbeat is stable, but still very critical..There is this white board in the ward which has all the patients name with magnets representing the condtion of the patient, blenheim's condition was back with 2 red magnets. dangerous and critical.. but well friends...
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and soul and not lean to your own understanding...
I was at burger king today slurping a regular cup of barley drink...when i saw this 2 small little girls each having thier own meal. They look like 8-11 years old ..MOst probably sisters,
the smaller sister took a bite from her burger, and pass it to her sister to try..and vice versa the other sister did the same... i was quite suprise, at such a young age...the young girls knew how to share... i began to reflect...although it's nothing special, but i felt that the girls were especially young...How many times in life when we are in desperate need for something and forgot about the people around us. Even having a simple meal like this...imgaine u you are with your frined at a fast food restaurant..u are ravenous...after buying your food u gobbled it down without even thinking of sharing your delicious meal with your friend...you see...when we are desperate need for soemthing we often forget the things/people around us...only when we have somehintg extra which we then share.
Treasure your friend's family and loved ones...Life is unpredictable..we live only once on earth..
Live Life to the fullest...
Take care..

Day 9

Hey friends, it's day 9, and blenheim's getting better each day.
I went to hospital after school, blenheim looks less numb today, his face din't look so bloated as before. Condition is stable but still critical, still needs some help for the oxygen to flow thorughout his body.But well, we believe God is taking care of things arround there yeah?

I bought a Cross yesterday night and went to stick it at the top right of blenheim's bed today...it's quite cool, becuz the cross have this rustic and sleek look...heh^ Let this cross remind us that God is in control of everything and no matter what happens, God has his purpose for all these yar?

*Friend's please take note*
When visiting blenheim in the ward, please go in 2 by 2..do not go in as a group because it is an icu (intensive care unit) ward. Going as a group will jam up the side walk and will cause unessary waste of time if there's an emergency and patients have to be pushed out. Also when talking to blenheim try not to stand too close because germs might spread. yurp..esp. if u have flu or cough...dun go too near kie? thanks for your understanding...

Today blen's mum bought us macdonalds for dinner, so sweet of her...macdonalds never tasted so good since i fasted from 7am to 7pm today with neo...but neo back out because he was on medication...anyway blen! faster recover...your mum promise us crystal jade togetehr with you...and i'll be taking my traffic police real soon...gonna get a 9 seater car and drive u guys to johor and have a nice dinner there...with all the coconuts =)

Take care my dear friends...On behalf of the Tan's thank you for your all your encouragements in the comments...Rest well and pray hard..

Amen, Love always hopes, always perseveres, love never fails..

God loves Blenheim - By Peter Selvan

Halleluiah, praise to the almighty god. My family and I were so worried the whole night praying hard for u with every bit of strength we had left. Hearing the great news from buddy Lionel that u were much better , my heart was pounding in joy that was so much to for me to carry. My spirit that was whispering in prayer non-stop for you well being, was overjoyed that it was lost for words. You are going to make it Blenheim. Me and our closest gang of buddies; Neo, Michael, Qing Shun and Lionel loves u so much that we would do anything to get u pass this incident. I brought my parents along with me and this was the every first time I saw my dad shed a tear of joy, not for anyone but for u, my buddy, my brother and my close friend .

Remember that u r not battling alone but god is being your fortress that he is going to shield u and be your strength. Today’s incident really touched my heart that actually proved every single one that God is prepared to empower u with all his might and glory to save u from this manly disaster. Doctors are astonished.

The presence of the almighty and gracious Holy Spirit within you was revealed today through this great miracle. It was god’s will that u will battle in the midst of the Death Valley and come back to us, in victory. We are waiting for your victory as this victory belongs to god. Stay strong and do not give up hope cos god is not with u, behind u, in front of u but IN u , that devils that come ur way will be crushed. People are praying for you and May you be strengthened and receive his miracles as days goes by and putting devils to shame.
Though the flesh is weak, the spirit is strong and is full of vigor. So I trust in Jesus that his precious blood concides with yours giving u the inexhaustible super natural strength to endure physically and win this battle. Remember dude that u are under the shadow of the cross, giving u refuge. Love u pal…
As for Mr tan and Mrs tan pls be strong and never give up , as god lives in every bit of hope that both of u are carrying which makes the impossible possible.

Dear Lionel, i personally thank u, for what u have done is such a remarkable act by keeping record of the wonders of God. On behalf of our friends, I greatly appreciate what you have been doing on this blog for the past few days. God used you as well to deliver the message of his miracles. God bless u too.

May glory to be God. Amen

Day 7 Miracle!

Dear friends, i woke up this morning, and was on the way to the hospital when i recieve a message saying that blenheim has hope! i couldn't believe what i read and called the person up immidiately..

My friends...indeed a miracle had happened...Blenheim's blood pressure is back to normal, his heart now is functioning normally, he need not depend on life support for the heart. And, he is not brain dead, which many of us even the doctors thought he has. However, blenheim's oxygen level is still low and needs life support for oxygen. It is still very critical, but i'm so glad eveything is stable for now. Doctors were amazed at this miracle. i'm sure everyone is...
my friends, this thought me a very precious lesson...Never give up even at the last second...
Can u actaulyl believe that blenheim heart had stopped 2 times and till manage to survive this ordeal..this is really a beautiful miracle, which we have to really give Full Glory to God..
God did not say he will come in at the middle of your tough times, or even at the start, who knows...he comes when there seemes to be the end.

Blen's dad even told us this morning, before the mircale was told to them by the doctors, blen's dad actaully called the funeral people, not only that they were discussing how blen's clothes will be seperated amongst us good frineds...now blen...u can keep everything! we want you...not your stuffs...let's believe put our hearts together..

we brought a mini speaker today, and played soem songs for belnehim to hear, including "When you believe" this song for this blog became so real..and another song " If we hold on together"
theme song of "land before time"

As usual i asked auntie to take care of herself and everything, another thing which i must tell u guys today..i was calling blenheim friend's up to tell them the good news. i called up Samuel, Blenheim's buddy in school..he told me he was on his way to church to pray for blenheim, and it was his first time going to church..the first thing word that i could think of was Amen! this is really...wow! Samuel...blenheim will definetly cry when he knows about this...What more joy to see someone even making thier first move in knowing u lord...Not long, Kien tat told us that he too feels like rededicating his life to God...let's encourage all our friends kie...God is sooo real...we can't deny it...not long again...stephanie's godsister ( who was once a christian) msg her telling her that she might be going to church this sunday.

* I JUST RECIEVE AN SMS FROM SAMUEL THIS IS WHAT EXACLTly HE WROTE

"IM GONNA RECIEVE CHRIST SOON, CAUSE GOD HEAR AND RESPOND MY PRAYERS, SO I HAVE TO REPAY HIM. I'LL PRAY FOR BLEN AND YOU ALL MUST HAVE FAITH IN GOD TO HELP"

samuel, Amen..very soon we'll be a family...I pray for you too that your personal relationship with God will grow stronger eachday...and As u begin this adventorous journey with God..i pray God will continue to guide you protect you and God's words to began to magnify in your life.
Glory to our Lord God Almighty..

God will make a way, when there seems to be no way"
"He will be my guide"

So freinds, do continue to pray for blenheim....God is with us...and will always be...put out hearts together..with faith we believe...
take good care everyone...blenheim will stillbe in icu ward for at least 2 weeks..for him to recuperate and then an operation will be carried out...do visit him when you are free to give him encouragement and stay strong in the fight...though the battle is long and drainy...we will still hold on...

God, even bless everyone reading this...i believe whoever reads this blog cares for blenheim, and we care for you too...so please do take care...On behalf of blenheim's family again..thank you for not giving up and continue to pray...
please continue to give your comments and encourage blen's family...i print this blog plus comment and pass it to thier family everyday...so yah..stay storng my frineds...

Give thanks with a grateful heart...AmEN

Blenheim, Go peacefully

Sorry for not updating my blog yesterday, i was completely wiped out the whole day. and reached home at1am...the previous post was written by my frined sean. i will update you briefly on what happen yesterday.

Yesday many friends of kai came, over 50 i must say...we prayed for kai together...
Currently Kai, is on life support, during the day, his heart beat stopped 3 times...
and i was there beside him when his heart beat stopped. myself and the rest of us buddies
cried like never before. they manage to revive blenheim twice.but right now, it's the 3rd time they revive him. this would be lsat try becuz kai has no more strength.

doctors prolonged his life for families, friends to have thier last words with kai..i was holding kai for the whole day. hoping he felt my presense...it's always nice to have someone beside u and holding you, even at your most difficult times. Everyone cried dearly, for my last words all i could say was, "don't worry blenheim, go peacfully, God is with you, dun worry about your family, and both your sister's,i'll help you to take care fo them.. i keep my words...brother's never leave empty promises....

Lord, let thy will be done, everything was done for a reason we do not know, but with faith we believe plans declared by you, is to prosper us not to harm us. Life on earth is temporial but life is heaven is eternal. firned's i've learn alot from this, losing a best friend at 19...i hope through my blog u too will learn to treasure life and your love ones...remember it's not how long u live your life, but how u live your life....don't waste your life away my frineds reading this.. treasure it..lead a meaningful life...Do not balme God for what he has done, instead, seek him, understand why is God doing this to your life, he might be trying to speak to you..be sensative to the voice of God..Glory to God..

Auntie, Uncle, Natalie and Maple....we willbe here for you...
Memories like this can never be erased...like promiese never meant to be broken...
promises are never meant to be broken...but because you choosed to break it...

*i will wrtie a more detailed blog another day because i'm emmotionally unstable now.

take care, Lionel..

Day 5

Well Well 5 days had passed like 5 years...it seemed like the hospital had been my 2nd home...
today in school, i recieved many many calls and smses from people i don't know, sending thier reassuring prayers to blenheim and his family...Thank you friends... it was really encouraging to know many people there are by his side too...and waiting to enter the battlefield with him.

After school, i went to the hospital with qing shun, and jie ying...when i first met auntie...i called her "po mu"...i won't tell u why i called her that...but if u were there u would know why...and as usual she flooded me with food...fruit cakes..and the same words came out of her mouth "lionel, you enuff money? come i give u, u go downstairs eat soemthing"

ealier in school i printed the whole blog + comments and gave it to blen's mum, since she had no time to read it online at home...she teared as she read the encouragements you people wrote.
see guys it's the words that we write from our heart which is priceless..it's easy to force someone to write soemthing, but if u write soemthing out of your heart...it's priceless...
i'm sure blen's family after reading your comments would be encouraged.

*Most important thing first, blenheim's condition has stabled, and his operation is tomroow at 8am to about 3pm. The operation is moved forward since his condition is stabled and the bleeding had stopped. This operation will be a very very dangerous and critical one.And friends....Another miracle again had appeared before us...The scan had positive results, and it showed that blenheim was not brain dead...it's was a miracle becuz even the doctors din't expect this...But well doctors, the power of prayer never fails...AMEN..
friends, or even peple who don't know blenheim, please do continue to pray, for Gods intervention tomorow, may u oh Lord...grant the alertness, wisdom, confidence of the doctors, be arund my brother to protect him even throughout this battle, we give u all the glory all the praises...Amen

Why should i accept defeat when the bible says that God always leads me in triumph (2cor 2:14)

Why should i fear when the Bible says that God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a dound mind (2 tim 1:7)

We will be wiating for your victorious return brother, all of use are behind you...God, i give u all the praises, all the glory, and i commit my brother's life into your hands...all yours lord...all yours...God bless everyone...from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet, Lord protect my brother..Amen...take care my friends...

Day 4

First i would like to say a big big thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who donated blood to blenheim. We already have collected more then enough blood for him.
so there's no need for any more blood now. The nurses at that donation centre were greatly suprise at the sudden flood of people donating blood to blenheim. And almost all donars were first time. Imagine the fear our dear friends had to go through becuase of their first blood donation. But i believe all of use have the common purpose for donating our blood-which was to give something for the person we care for. And to really see blenheim well again.. i on behalf of his family, would like to say a big thank you and grateful to all of you.

Today after school, i sat taxi to hospital. i saw blenheim's mum and auntie there, and went to talked to them. Again as usual, blen's mum asked me if i had lunch and gave me some food.
after chatting a while, i went to see blenheim, i said a prayer for him. Not long, blen's buddy, samuel and a few of his classmates came, we together with blenheim's mum chit chatted, she was telling us how timid blenheim was when he was a kid. And how thier mother-son relationship was so close and sticky to each other, how blenheim would hug her when he was sad, pouring out his inner most secrets, sitting on her lap like a child, choosing for him clothes to buy, and even asking her to do for him facial. How many of us have such close relationship with our parents? i could really feel that blen's mum really misses him alot...We as freinds already miss him so much, jsut imagine his family. So freinds praying , please do inclue your prayers for blenheim's family too yar?

Today blenheim looks much much better. befroe his face looked numb and swollen but today, it looks like it had cooled down..Amen..i read the lyrics of the song" when you believe" to blen, i know u can hear it blenheim, hold on to the promises of God...Faith is the currency. Tommorow the doctors are going to reduce sedative on him. Hopefully he can open his eye's or even move a little. If he can, it would really be a good sign. i always had this feeling when i see him on the bed...he really wants to see us he really want's to talk to us, but he just cound't...Continue to pray my friends...Tomorow will be the day when he might regain a little contience maybe even see us or move a little.

However a bad news for today. The operation for monday's operation is a 50-50% chance of success. But i believe there would be another miracle which is going to happen. Come on brother...20-30% chance of survivor, and you made it thrugh..what is 5o-50% to you..u can do it brother...all the way..we will be at the finishing point waiting for you to return...

Today, i had cell group, and we all praeyd for you real hard, the doctors especially and your family. stay strong dude..i will be visiting you at the hospital everyday till u recover and ready to rock with us. We will be here...allrighty buddy take care...we miss u really badly...
and to you God..i need not explain..u know our hearts..u know his..Glory to God..

When You Believe...

Many nights we've prayedWith no proof anyone could hearIn our hearts a hopeful songWe barely understoodNow we are not afraidAlthough we know there's much to fearWe were moving mountainsLong before we knew we couldThere can be miraclesWhen you believeThough hope is frailIt's hard to killWho knows what miraclesYou can achieveWhen you believeSomehow you willYou will when you believeIn this time of fearWhen prayer so often proves in vainHope seemed like the summer birdsToo swiftly flown awayYet now I'm standing hereMy heart's so full, I can't explainSeeking faith and speaking wordsI never thought I'd sayThey don't always happen when you askAnd it's easy to give in to your fearBut when you're blinded by your painCan't see you way safe through the rainThought of a still resilient voiceSays love is very near

Day 3

yesterday myself, qing shun and jun xiong stayed over throughout the night at the hospital, we wanted to be as close to blenheim as possible. it's the least we could do..blenheim's classmates stayed with us too...including his class buddy samuel..i'm really touched...see blenheim...look how many people are behind you supporting u and giving our very best. u can do it..

the night was cold and quiet, anything could happen anytime..blenheim's dad and mum were also with us..atmosphere was tense, we couldn't sleep well...i promised tracy and letitia that i would call them if anything happened...
we woke up early int he morning, with backaches and flu becuz the hospital was freezing and we were sleeping on mini cusion chairs..

blenheim's mother gave us beehoon to eat for breakfast. though nothing was said, i could really feel the strong wave of sadness swept pass me...Come on buddy yur family really misses you...your elder sister, dad mom maple..everyone! hold on there...the operation is about to be over...final lap mentality..remember i always told u...step into the race..u complete the rest, anything you do, do it with all your heart...excuses to give up the race are for losers...and u are definelty not one...i know it..u are a born fighter...

in the morning, i went with blen's mum to have a talk with the doctor since, blen's dad and elder sis is not around. the surgeon told us that blenheim's operation will be on next monday becuz right now blenheim need to have a good rest...to prepare for the next battle...blood donation is needed...friends out there...we need blood..the surgoen went on to tell ushow the opeartion is going to be carried out, the good news is, the success rate for this operation is rather high, BUT, after the operation chance of whether he will wake up from coma or survive is not known...
no matter what let's keep on praying and believe in our Lord almighty...have fiath my friends, one battle at a time..we can do it...no one wins a battle with no fight...antoher good news was, blenheim's condition is now stable compared to the time when he first came into hospital, during that time, he was already in coma, the surgeon revived him..fRIeinds...this is the first miracle God had performed...let's not only ask God for hELP but remember to give God all the glory all the praise...There are many miracles yet to come...continue to press on friends, even a simple prayer short or long is heard by our most loving God... AMen
Another thing si blenheim needs blood, any blood type will do since it's a one to one excahnge meaning, if belnehim blood is ab+ and your's is a O+ u can still donate becuz we can exchange blood from the hospital blood bank for his type...Freinds please donate...as long as you are 18 and above, above 45kg do not suffer from any illness, such as hepitatis B you can donate..
not surprisingly we guys went ahead withought hestitation, myself, neo, qing shun, tracy, xin yi, and qing shun's friends were all there. i've smsed everyone in my contact list, church friend's
secondary school teacher's everone! the response was good...blenheim needs blood my friends, let's take a step of bravery this little pain cannot be compared to the pain his suffering now...you are doing this to save our friend's life. Even 2 of my church friend's ming zhu and jessica donated...they are people whom last thing they want to do on earth is to donate blood... but they took the step to donate...i was really touched...how much is this worth compared to saving a person's life? blen's buddy samuel, immidiately rallied over 20 of his classmates and friends to donate blood and they will be donating during this few days. this is what friends are for...it really clearly shows how much you are going out for the person u really care for...anyone who wants to doante and have no idea how to go about, please msg me at 96474094. i will give u the details..please my friend's let's support our precious little brother here.

Love is seen through action and not words.

after the donation, we guys went back to school for lessons, we skipped hald a day of lesson's it was worth it...to help a friend...we will be back to visit our dear brother this week and staying thruout the operation on monday...do take care my friends..and remember to treasure the peopl around you...leave your precious comments at the bottom of this post too yar?

Mr.tan and Mrs.tan, elder sis and maple dun worry, a storng army is behind blenheim in this battle...an army of soldiers ready to fight on with blenheim...The lord is my shepard of whom shall i be afraid...

A small prayer move mighty mountains.take care!
