Saya Orang Malayu 1/2 for my final sem
i've gotten all my modules... now only left the tutorials... & of the 4 modules i m taking this sem, i managed to get 2 malay related modules : Islam & contemporary Malay society,& Malay Lang 1... Praise God!!! well, i believe S'pore is a unique place where we are surrounded by malay-speaking countries as well as having a large malay community within our country. so it's only logical tt i take some modules which will help me better understand my neighbours.
many of u would've known my desire to be involved in youth work, be it teaching or rehab etc... it'll really be helpful to be able to speak a bit of their language, at least they wun dare to speak in tongues abt me while i m around...but the main thing is tt i, being a non-malay, can speak malay, it's easier to gain their trust.. this'll assist me in doing watever the Lord wants me to do with them...
islam, in a certain manner, is similar to Christian, & the age-old debate has caused quite a bit of confusion among the pple. i m certain of wat i believe. but if i dunno wat the muslims believe & how they live their lives according to wat they believe, then how can i effectively share with them wat i believe, especially when both claim to be speaking the truth?
4 more months to go... 4 more modules to conquer... 4 more days to the beginning of my final sem... 4,4,4... translate that to chinese/hokkien/cantonese & it'll sound like die die die... die liao la... ;p

Hello there,
I'm a fellow sister in christ, and because of certain issues that worry my mind, I've been searching across the web to look for malays that have come to christ bravely in singapore. To read your blog and see your efforts in trying to learn more bout islam in order to be able to bring light to the muslims have touched me greatly, for I feel that, that might be my calling in future too; to reach out to muslims who need christ. Never give up hope on them~~ for the lord needs more people like you to be sent out as his messengers. May god always shower his blessings upon u n praise be to jesus christ!
