My roommate, Li Vien

In memory of Gerviene Choo Li Vien

I am here today, to celebrate the life of a special someone. The answer to my prayers for a good trustworthy and understanding friend.

Gerviene Choo Li Vien.

My roommate in STM (Seminari Theologi Malaysia) for the first 5 weeks of JS (Jeremiah School). Let's observe a moment of silence to remember her. The impact she made in out lives, the words of encouragement that kept us going that extra mile, the way she shakes and kicks me to wake up in the morning, her generosity, her love for children, her hamsterish face and puppy dog eyes, her stirring preaching every morning in kuantan, her tears that seem to come so easily from her sincere heart that so feels for us, her crazy antics, and of course, her passionate involvement in the Cow With Guns Association (COWGA).

~silence~

The best roommate I could ever have. She was a good friend, still is, and ever will be.

(btw, she's still alive)

Imagine me without you

As long as stars shine down from heaven
And the rivers run into the sea
'Til the end of time, forever
You're the only love I'll need
In my life, you're all that matters
In my eyes, the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
You're the one that's there for me

When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave youI need you

Imagine me without you
I'd be lost and so confused
I wouldn't last a day
I'd be afraid without you there to see me through
Imagine me without you
Lord, you know it's just impossible
Because of you
It's all brand new
My life is now worth while
I can't imagine me without you

When you caught me I was falling
Your love lifted me back on my feet
It was like you heard my calling
And you rushed to set me free
