Delayed Divulgence
This announcement comes a little late, I'm afraid. It's because I've been having a fever and a throat infection. Anyway:
I got married.
My wife's name is Emmy Jong.
My wedding service took place last Saturday on 3 November 2007. It was solemnised by a great friend of mine, Revd Sivin Kit, a minister of the Lutheran Church in Malaysia and Singapore. And the preacher was Revd Dr Simon Chan (Ernest Lau Professor of Systematic Theology at Trinity Theological College Singapore), someone whom I've known as my spiritual father for some years now.
The wedding service was more than a service for me. It was very symbolic of how God has been faithful towards me all these years despite the painful seasons I've had to plough my way through.
The way my family members and friends stood with Emmy and me, supporting us through the entire ordeal of ensuring that the service worked out fine, was a sheer sacramental statement of God's guiding hand and assuring presence in my life.
To the friends from the north and the south who travelled all the way to witness the occasion, I offer you my heartfelt gratitude. To the friends who toiled for days to help us with the preparations... honestly, I don't know what to say to you... thank you for loving me.
My wedding: the occasion when I witnessed how my family and friends carried me when I couldn't walk on my own.

It looked awesome! I devoured the pictures greedily. I'm still hurting that I wasn't there to share the moment. *BIG HUG* Well done, Sherman.
