Taxi Driver - 1st April 2006 On the way to Freshmen Orientation Event, Beach games, i shared the gospel with the cab driver. he was a frenly and good natured guy. smiling and laughing as we talked. How i swung to religion was that he asked me why i was going to East Coast... then i told him meeting frens for some beach games. then he said, yeh, as a human, must enjoy life la... that's why we live and if we don't it'll be a great loss and you'll regret.. so i talked to him, asked him where he thinks we'll go after we pass on from this world.
He said that well, to him, he believes that the sun, air and earth gives us life. So we'll return to the earth when we die... He doesn't believe there's a God or higher being who created and takes away... jus us and the earth. Talked to him more on the way and he was quite nice about it... always saying that's what i think... you can think something else, but tat's what i think. so i told him what i thot la. told him about my famous line "When you look at a painting, how do you know that there was a painter? When you look at a Building, how do you know that there was a builder? When you look at Creation, there must be a Creator"...

so i got him thinking bout that for a while and shared with him what i believe after life entails... and we were jus able to talk and stuff... and he was all nice and all about it even when i got out of the cab. so before i left, i paid him and told him to think bout what i said, about builder-builder... blah blah. :) he was thankful and we parted ways. went in to macs to share with nick and realized i forgot to give the taxi driver a tract... was so ARGHHH about that but thanked God He used to speak to that driver.

the following was taken off my other blog. it's quite a repeat so skim thru this la.

I got in the cab and the uncle was real easy going... nice chap and he was talkative in a nice way. very engaging. so he asked me going ecp for wad? so i said going to meet frens. then he said oh yeh, good good. must enjoy life. "ren shen shi yao xiang shou"... yes we conversed in chinese... or well, mine was more of this word is like, Chinglish [Chinese + English] yeh so to cut a long story short [coz i'm tired of typing].... i asked him where he thinks he'll go after dying coz he said life is short.
he told me that we'll go back to the ground coz that's where we came from. challenged him then to think of then wads the purpose... then since he didn't believe in a God that created [from listenin to him i could tell] so i told him...
if there's a painting, there must be a painter... building, builder.... creation, creator.
Then he laughed [he laughs alot. so nice and jolly] and said that that's what people always debate and argue about.. and no one really has an ans... talked to him more bout it and in the end b4 i got out of the cab, i told him "uncle, think about what i said about a building and a builder. creation and creator." :) laughed and waved him goodbye. He was so jolly and happy about it and all. so glad it wasn't offensive or what. Felt so on fire for God after that when i rushed in to tell Nicholas [cf] about it. :P

And i spoke to him in chinese. goodness. hhaaha
