Sikmading's Sabah, Malaysian Borneo: Gordon Turns 18 (Updated)

Psalm of the Day - Evening Prayer for Help

Answer Me When I pray, O God, my defender! When I was in trouble, you helped me. Be kind to me now and hear my prayer. How long will you people insult me? How long will you love what is worthless and go after what is false? Remember that the Lord has chosen the righteous for his own, and he hears me when I call to him. Tremble with fear and stop sinning; think deeply about this, when you lie in silence on your beds. Offer the right sacrifices to the Lord, and put your trust in him. There are many who pray: "Give me more blessings, O Lord. Look on us with kindness!" But the joy that you have given me is more than they will ever have with all their grain and wine. When I lie down, I go to sleep in peace; you alone, O Lord, keep me perfectly safe.

- Psalm 4, Book One taken from the Good News Bible, Today's English Version.

Gordon Turns 18 (Updated)

Gordon Horace Chin (centre of picture) turns 18 today. Well, almost. His actual birthday is on March 30, same birthday as Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Hj Aman. But as he would be leaving for Kuala Lumpur on Sunday for further studies, his family decided to hold a birthday cum farewell party for him earlier.

Gordon, who did his Form 5 at the private Seri Insan Secondary School in Kota Kinabalu last year, will be doing A-level Law at the Brickfields Asia College (many Sabahans did their law studies there too) with a view to pursuing a law degree later.

Apart from those from Seri Insan and his former school Sabah College, his friends from the Life Teen group of the Sacred Heart Cathedral also turned up.

Congratulations for passing the SPM,Gordon, and Happy Birthday!
