I'm sure many of us would have been aware of local artiste Chew Chor Meng and his diagnosis and subsequent fight against Kennedy's disease that was widely publicised in the local media. This affliction has left him struggling to walk and brought upon him too cardiac problems and diabetes.

I was on my way home from the 7-eleven downstairs and had my attention affixed immediately on the reports (it made the headlines of the Chinese papers) the very next day after he spoke about his ailment at a church meeting. When I was young, I was a huge fan of the 'Don't Worry Be Happy' series which aired on Saturdays at 9.30pm. I barely started primary school then. The sitcom was a huge hit and made him into one of the most well-loved and respected local celebrities for the last decade or so. (Back then Channel 8 dramas and sitcoms were much much nicer)

The following is a testimonial recorded in a subsequent church event. I think I know which one it was. The train heading north was unusually crowded after the Little India and Farrer Park stations on a Saturday evening and I happened to catch a glimpse of a flyer an auntie was grasping about a 'special speaker' and a 'testimony'.

Got this on Mr Chow (Papaphysix's) Tumblr, and I'm sure you'll be greatly impacted by it. Wanted to post this on the CG blog as well but I realised I did not have access to it. Haha. Strengthens our faith (:
