Thank You’s
Thank
you God so much for giving me the opportunity to write and
being able to share my work with so many people that I may know or not. Thank
you for the trials, happiness and the road traveled to get this far and putting
all this work into writing. Truly all Glory belongs to you God, Our Loving
Father!
I
want to thank Gerry
Alphonse for
continuing to inspire me and guiding me in my life in faith and as my best
friend, companion and spiritual partner. May God bless you for all that you
have done for me.
Mom & Dad, you’ll always be the ones in my heart. Thank you so much for giving
me and the opportunities to live a beautiful life! I am so blessed to have
parents like you. God bless you my Mother & Father!
To Ian John & Anne Marie Khan, both of you, since
the beginning have been there for me. As friends and as personal spiritual
partners. Thank you so much for listening to me all those years ago and as
friends. God bless you both!
My Brother Michael and my sister Catherine,
Both
of you are an indispensable part of my life. I thank God for having such
siblings like you by my side. Although we may have not been able to get along
in the past, it is good to know you are doing well in your lives. May you both
be blessed and always know I am here for you!
My friends, colleagues and acquaintances. Thank you all for the trials, tribulations, the joys,
the sorrows, the frustrations & all the things that make life seem like an
endless adventure! Thank you and God bless that I got to know such people!
Lastly, but never the least. To anyone reading this volume, I hope you will
enjoy this volume. Though laced with so much of life’s intricacy, but that you
appreciate life for its diversity and awesomeness in wonder! God bless you dear
reader and may your reading this volume be a blessed one!
YouRs in The love of God,

BehiNd The wriTing of
“Magnum
OPus”:
Magnum
Opus was written very recently. Yet it sounded like years of effort had been
put into it. Although this volume echoes with memories. It is by all means,
up-to-date, frank and most of, a journey to be taken at heart.
This
volume was written at separate intervals and was continuously re-written over 5
times. So this volume started with a couple of drafts. I didn’t like the
outline or the outcomes of my last takes. So I wanted to start with a
completely fresh new perspective, yet still staying true to the work in this
volume.
Although
this volume took a while to get done, I believe it was worth every inch, moment
& effort. This is an intellectual, loving, experiencing, sharing and
learning volume. A very different one from my last volumes of Embrace &
ETERNAL. And I wanted it to be different, not repetitive. Like a road you walk
along, not everything remains the same. In time things change. For worse or
not, I leave that for you, the reader to decide for yourself.
The
remaining part of this volume was written in Hong Kong & finally completed
in Malaysia
I
do hope you will enjoy this volume, as much as I did writing it. Indeed, it has
been a blessing to write this volume.
May
God bless you dear reader and that you be blessed reading this volume!
We can lift ourselves out of
ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence
and skill.

I
will give myself,
My
everything and my best,
To
reach you God,
Because
you fulfilled my entirety,
You’re
love embraces the endless stars,
The
eternal love you’ve given to us,
Since
the beginning of time,
Laid
down in ages past and unforgotten,
History’s
pages stained with sin,
Redeem
us you have through Jesus Christ,
Unfailing
is your love till the end . . .
