I am not sure how many people know my story of life transformation but until today, i am still very grateful and thankful that i have been brought to know God. Most importantly, to help people to know God. Let's start from when i was a kid. When i was in kindergarden, my parents work as a stall holder in a secondary school (even till now), thus i got to go home on my own. I always envied the peers around me when their parents fetch them. When i go into primary school, i took school bus from pri 1 to 3 and go home by myself from pri 4 to 6. I sure had a lot of freedom, but i lack a lot of love from my family. So what i did? I seeked attention from others. When i was primary 6, i was the head of AVA and the school bully. I was in the second best class yet i always find trouble with the EM3 classes people to see who is bigger in the school and i won. Since i was pri 4 (my brother is 3 years older), i had bad relationships with my brother, we often fight and quarrel. I still remember clear incidents of using a house telephone to whack his head because we were fighting and he once put a knife at my throat.I simply hated my brother and i felt as if i had none. This led me to put on a strong front and be insecure about myself.

Since young, i do not believe in whatever God or Religious thing because i think it is all crap. I once told myself that i would never become a christian or believe in any God. However, God had His plan when i broke my forearms, it happened when i was sec 1 in June. Starting of sec 1, i somehow knew my brother was in church and i told myself i would never go if he asked me, NEVER! I saw how my brother slowly change when we slowly stop fighting and then stop quarrel until reasoning only. When i broke my forearms playing basketball, my friend called my brother to come down and go to the hospital with me. When he came down, he was very upset and clutching his fist. I thought i had troubled him and i apologise but he said it was not my fault, he was upset with my friend (because he thought it was my friend who caused this accident). At this moment, i felt the love and concern that my brother had for me and my heart was soften. My brother on the second night when i was hospitalise, he came with a friend and shared to me about Jesus (At that moment, i did not went for any church event before), and i sort of accepted Christ because I saw how God changed his life.

After i came to know God, i was not changed overnight, in fact it took quite sometime for me to change. My clique in school paikia as i influence them negatively when i have not come to know God. When i told them, they was like, "Eh, don't joke la" and i told them that it is real. After they comfirmed it was a fact that i converted, they started to joke about christianity and Jesus, but i knew i got to do the right thing. I had a lot of problems in school like disturbing teachers, rude, problems with technical students and a whole list more. Jesus slowly changed my life, from disturbing people and leading astray people to changing lives for God which i found a great purpose in it. To cut the story short, it took me very long to change my personality, even now, i still have a whole list of things yet to be changed but it is a process of God changing my into what He created me to be. My friends who are all making fun of Jesus, had mostly came to church before which was like an impossible thing to them and to me. I indeed learnt a lot of people skills, like commuunicating, leadership, public speaking and a lot more from this Church and Jesus which i believe would help me in my future. It is just so great to be in church and i have never regretted converting. In conclusion, being a Christian is not a bed of roses but a lot more problems to go through with God and experiencing His greatness! Hope that you will be blessed by this long testimony! haha
