12 Lotus

My first time watching a Royston Tan movie, n well i dunno what too say. Haha. Went to watch 12 Lotus with Li Yi yesterday at AMK Hub! The movie is not too bad. Just that if u r gonna watch it for pure leisure, i would advise u too save the money. But if u r those film lovers u will love it. This was show was actually depicting a girls life from when she was young till she grew old which unfortunately was very tragic. I felt the whole film was trying to portray the meaning of the song 12 Lotus. It has a total of 12 chapters, each chapter has its own verse of a tragedy. every of the chapter was depicted thru the life of the girl. How she was abused by her father, cheated of her feelings, money n body by the man she loved, how her loved ones ard slowly left her side. Not even once did she get to truly experience a real happy moment in her life. It was so sad. I must admit i couldn't understand some parts of the show as the storyline is quite cheam n subtle. So if u wan to know the whole story, pls go watch it haha.

After the show, both us felt hungry even though we bought like 3 packets of sushi with 20 small rolls each n polish it off during the movie. Haha so we went to a nearby hawker center to eat. Over the dinner table, we talked n shared bout our lives, problems that both of us are facing. It was a really deep sharing n we juz continue to talk even as we were on our way home on the bus.
It was a really fruitful sharing as we learned n encouraged one another in our problems. We also discussed about apologetics. It was this time that i asked her to help with a doubt i had. One of my bunk mates had asked me this qns,

"How can christian say only their religion is the true one, whereas the rest are not n are just idolatry? Where's the proof?"


I told her i answered my friend from an academic point of view but i myself was doubtful bout it n asked how would she response to this qns. She said,

"The best evidence we can show to our friends is our own life testimony. It is true that as we know God, we had experience many times in our lives his love for us n his miracles that he reveals n done in our lives. We can be 100% assured that this is true no matter what n i think thats what non-believers wants to hear from us."

What she said enlightened me totally, it was like God suddenly open my eyes to see thru the cloud of doubt. It was a really powerful moment n come to think of it it was also an experience with god! Man thats just cool!

Thank God for this revelation he gave me n for this sister that i could the deeper part of my life with. I believe this is what God want to see when we said of doing life with each other to prosper n be strengthened from it. I really encouraged all of us to share our live with one another to deeper level. For all we know, we may experience the goodness of God n many powerful things n also grow greatly thru this kind of relationship. Hallelujah!

On a lighter note, JUMP is happening today yea!!! Time to praise n worship GOD!!! Haha!
