17th of May 2008..I was excited and happy as being an exchange student here in Australia I was given free ticket to watch a footy match beetween Geelong and Richmond at the biggest stadium in Melbourne - Melbourne Cricket Ground(MCG).The ticket would cost 20AD if I would have to buy it myself.Footy is the biggest thing here in Australia as they do not watch football.
Waking up very early in the morning to have my breakfast and preapring to go out as I do not want to be late for the match.Raymond and Anthony decided not to go,thus their tickets was given to Alex and Tee Hiong.While we were walking out to take the tram I receieved an sms from my father which was indeed a sad news.
"PR LAZARUS TAN called home 2 b with d Lord late last nite.Funeral,wake service 8.30pm.Sat and Sunday.Funeral on Monday at 11am.All at BT GANTUNG.God bless"
I was so shock to see that message.In a suddent I lose all my mood for the match.I call back to M'sia immediately to ask how is everything.I really felt very sad that I was not in Penang to attain his funeral and wake service.After Ps.Reuben,he is the next person that have die of cancer that are closed to me.
I have know Ps.Lazarus for at lest 15years.Where he used to fetch me back from school and take care of me when I was young.I never like to eat fish when I was young as I was lazy to remove the bones,but he was the one that taught he how to eat them and I finally agree with it.
He first enter my life as a skinny,dark and dirty drug addict.But God has change his life totally that he have been a light around his community.What a wonderful instrument of God he has been.
I felt happy for him for having such a beautiful wife and daughter and pray that God will send more angels around them to protect and encourage them in this time of sorrow.
May my prayers and blessings continue to be with you and I love you.May you rest in peace with the Lord and God bless your family,Ps Lazarus...Amen.
