Mum's new book launch speech




久未见面的朋友,今晚见到我,可能会惊讶,怎么玉昭变得这么新潮,居然将头发染成黄色。其实,这是假发,我的头发,已被化疗一扫而光。

199712月我患了乳癌,当时医生说能活过五年的机会只有 30%,但我却奇迹般的活了下来,直到 20068月,癌病转移到肺,又打了一场仗。这场仗,我没输,癌症也没赢,一直服药控制着。

到了今年3月,癌症又卷土重来,占居了我的骨头,肝脏。当医生和我看到 CT scan 中一片乌云似的肝脏,医生也摇头。这场仗,要打吗? 将是一场艰苦的硬仗!

做了两次化疗,不但没有好转,反将肝脏再一步破坏!医生忙喊停。他说了一句病人听了绝望的话 “There is very little we can do”. 就好像粤语残片中,医生对病人的亲人说:他时日无多,他要吃什么,就让他吃,要去哪里, 就带他去吧!

回家后想到医生的话:very little we can do. 但我知道有一位医生,HE can do great Things FOR me. 他就是耶和华拉法,全能的医治者,我所信靠的神,祂为我开的药方,全都在这里!

你问我怕吗?有时怕到骨头都消溶。沮丧吗? 沮丧得想放弃,常有负面的思想攻击 – “肝癌,哪有这么易医治? 但神的应许,清清楚楚的记载在圣经一直支撑我,安慰我,鼓励我。

相信在他没有难成的事,相信人的尽头,是神的开始,祂会为我开路,让我经历到在人不能,在神凡事都能的恩典。

当我感到孤单无助时,以赛亚书 41:10 成为我的支撑


你不要害怕,因为我与你同在
不要惊惶, 因为我是你的神
我必坚固你, 我必帮助你
我必用我公义的右手扶持你

是的,

叶玉昭你不要害怕,因为神与你同在,
叶玉昭你不要惊惶,因为上帝是你的神,
神必坚固我, 神必帮助我,
神必用祂公义的右手扶持我。

我住在16楼,每逢我望到窗外的蓝天,及飞翔在空中的小鸟,我便想到那段充满活力,应许,盼望的经文。“那等待耶和华的,必重新得力,他们必如鹰展翅上腾,他们奔跑,却不困倦,行走,却不疲乏,我曾问上帝,什么时候,我才能重新得力,展翅上腾?但上帝却要我等候,神有祂的时间,只要在一切所行的事上认定祂,祂必指引我的路。

出埃及记 23:30,英文圣经如此记载:


Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increase enough to take possession of the Lord.

神的工作有时也是 little by little, 一点一点,渐渐在进行。Little by little, 祂会将癌症赶走,直到我康复后承受那地为荣。那地,在我来讲, 是什么呢? 诗篇11817节说:

我必不至死,任要存活,并要传扬耶和华的作为。

那地,就是我的传扬耶和华作为的象征。

我相信神也一点一滴在陶造我,将我的稜角傲气磨去,一点一点焚烧我,将我性格的污点,软弱,烧掉。

我不是一个坚毅的人,是祂使我刚强,我是一个很缺乏安全感的人, 是祂教我信靠。

今后,我的祷告是,上帝给我双倍的力量及恩典,
1. 是有精神写
2. 所写的是荣耀上帝,传扬祂作为的文章。

谢谢各位。

你将我唔死,吹吖!

Here's some of my older post I drafted few months ago.

CK and I was playing Chinese Chess until 2am. Red = CK, Back = me. CK seems to be the big winner coz he had the most army surrounded my territory, but I still manage to survive. Whoo Haa, I will survive!

Hey, CK! We are not done yet! 你将我唔死,吹吖!

老豆,happy birthday

Hey young man, happy birthday to you. Another year older liao, getting 'older-young man' already. Must take care of yourself. Sleep early, don't always play Sudoku until late night.

Do some exercise, You gonna hate it, but that's the way to get healthier and slim down the 'hidden cushion' from your tummy. Ya~, I know, like father like son. We'll go do exercise together at the gym room someday in the evening. Okie?

Talking about sleep early. I remember quoted this few years ago: "
If you willing to give me the chance/privilege to bring you to tour around the world next time, please take care of your health and sleep early, do not let your liver work O.T." You were stunned that time, do you still remember?

I'm glad that you're still here with us, and mum as well.
老豆, Happy 61st Birthday! May God bless you abundantly. I love you, Papa.

P/S: Anwar just celebrated his 61st birthday 2 weeks ago.
