It's in my mind

I just got back from church's Christmas production practise and a supper treat with Jasmine!!! Thank you so much darling for sending me home and also for the yummylicious supper! Anyway I thought of retiring to bed early tonight but I just felt too awake at this moment so time to revive my blog...
I have been "very"...wait...should be.... "extremely" busy this week and hence explains for my dissapearance in the world of blogging.My gosh we just started sem2 and guess what we only have less than 48 hours to prepare for PBL and also we just started on clinicals...Gosh, this is total crazyness and it is the first week ok?
Anyway just want to share a story that is still very clearly stuck in my mind...

One day on a school trip, a bus driver was driving with 40 kids at the back seat and was moving downhill.However while travelling downhill at about 60km/h and close to a steep slope, he decided to slow down and hence obviously he has to reached for the brakes.But the brakes isn't working at all...He tried to steer the bus and to take control of it as much as he could.Suddenly he thought of the wide empty field which serves as a rest stop and saw the glimpse of hope all. So, he started looking out for the empty field that he knew of.
In his mind, he knew that if he steered the bus into that empty field, the bus may stop and he will have time to call for help.It definitely sounds like a fantastic idea to him at that moment and at the same time the signboard leading to the empty field miraculously appeared in front of him..He shouted for joy as he knew that he will not harm those 40 kids who were still laughing and chatting at the back without realising that the bus was actually going to crash anytime and their life was at peril...
Once near the opening, the bus driver turn the wheels as mighty as he could to totally gain control.At the narrow opening, suddenly he saw a boy sitting on a bench and waving at him.Now the bus driver has to think fast, if he were to move on straight, he will bang the boy and if he do not move into the opening, all 40 kids' life will be once again in danger because there was a steeper slope ahead of them.He has to make a quick decision...To save the boy on the bench or the 40kids whose life is in his hands?
In the end, he crashed the boy who was on the bench.Later the police were alerted and so were the parents of the 40 kids.The parents thanked him for saving all the 40kids.However the boy who was on the bench lost his life.It sure was some kind of freak accident.

Wondering who was the boy on the bench and why didn't his parents come crying and blaming the bus driver for the decision that he made?

That is because the boy is the bus driver's own son.

As of comparison:
All of us, no matter who we are, actually are the kids sitting at the back of the bus and the bus driver is God and the boy at the bench is Jesus...
Remember the Scripture in the book of John 3-16 in the bible: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
It's a story shared by Ps Andy but it was clearly stuck in my mind...
tired now...so nites!!
