看到我，他惊慌失措！ He panicked upon seeing me!
有没有那种感觉，有时候见到一个人，我们会惊慌失措，身体出现怪异小动作尽流露我们紧张的心情，然后IQ突然降低，开始语无伦次。。。？
有人说我常使人出现那种状况。。。不！不要误会！不是因为我魅力无法挡，或帅到让人不能有正常反应！你们也知道绝对不是那个原因！而真正原因是，唉！因为我“杀气”太重，让人有一股很“畏惧”的感觉。。。
朋友说我该检讨原因何在。。。后来多数结论把问题怪在我的浓眉上，还建议我把眉毛剃掉或修掉！但不行啊，很多时候不能用口或手时，我需要用到我的眉毛向同工或助理指示一些工作需要。。。
Ever had that feeling, sometimes when we see someone, we will start to panic and weird little actions from our body will betray our anxiety, then our IQ will suddenly drop and we become incoherent in our speech…?
Some people say I tend to cause people to become like that… No! Don’t misunderstand me! It is NOT because I am irresistibly charming or so stunningly good-looking to cause them to behave abnormally! You all would know that is definitely not the reason too! The true reason is, sigh! It is because of my “over-bearing fierceness”, and that gives them a kind of “respectful fear”…
Friends ask me to examine myself as to what the reason is… but most come into the conclusion that the culprit is my thick eye-brows and they suggest that I should shave off or at least trim my eye-brows! But I cannot do that because many times when I cannot use my mouth or hands, I need to use my eye-brows to instruct my staff and assistants what to do…
话说那天，初为人父的他要求我帮他儿子取名字，我也很努力的想和祷告，结果想了一个名字，被他拒绝了！原因是，他说有点像马来名。。。我也不能怪他，因为那毕竟是一个希伯来名，老实说我也不太确定如何发音。。。既然如此，我也忙，就说那他自己取名字好了。。。
要知道，我们的这些沟通都是透过他的组长，而不是跟我直接交流。。。组长也责备他说，牧师那么忙还那么认真帮你想了那么好的名字，你竟然拒绝！我想他也觉得很不好意思，但还是决定不要用我给的名字。。。
The story begins with the new dad asking me to help name his new born son. So I was very serious in thinking and praying for a name, and finally I came up with a name, but he rejected it! Reason being, he said it sounds like a Malay name… well, I can’t really blame him as it is a Hebrew name and honestly I am not very sure about the pronunciation too… Well, since he did not want and I was very busy too, so I asked him to think of another name himself…
You must know that all these were communicated through his leader, he did not talk to me personally… His leader kind of rebuked him saying: Our pastor is so busy and yet so kind to think of a name for your son and yet you rejected the name!
I think he felt quite bad about it too, but he still decided not to use the name…
礼拜天散会时，刚好我在大门口跟他碰个正着！我全然出于关心的问说结果孩子名字取了吗？
我看得出他很紧张，脸有点红，有点吞吞吐吐的说：取了，是妈妈取的。。。
然后他就说洋名叫 Zacchaeus (即圣经人物“撒该”的英文翻译。其实我也蛮喜欢这个名字）。。。然后，他就很认真的告诉我说 Zacchaeus 就是圣经里面那个爬上桑树要看耶稣的矮子。我感觉很有趣他需要告诉他的牧师撒该是谁，所以我就作弄他，向他鞠躬道谢说：谢谢你告诉我撒该是谁，谢谢！谢谢！
他顿时脸变得通红，觉得很不好意思。。。大夥儿也大笑一场。。。
回到家，我从 Facebook 收到他寄过来的简讯，他说：
“嗨！牧师。。。我觉得很不好意思因为刚才在教会对你说的话好像是侮辱了你的智慧！像你这种美貌与智慧并重的人，哪里可能会不知道Zacchaeus这 个名，我还真是多此一举去解释，真下衰。。。虽然你心胸宽大，一定不会为这种芝麻绿豆小事放在心上，但还是要跟你说一声不好意思~谢啦~”
我读了真的是笑出来了，太可爱了，哈哈！
Sunday, after service, I bumped into him at the door! With pure concern I asked him, so have you decided on your son’s name?
He seemed very nervous, somewhat blushing and stammering, he said: yes, already, my mother named the baby…
He proceeded to tell me it’s Zacchaeus (actually I kind of like this name too)… then he went on to tell me rather seriously that Zacchaeus was the name of that short guy who climbed up the sycamore tree to see Jesus. I was kind of amused that he should tell his pastor who Zacchaeus was, so I teased him by bowing my head and said: Thank you, thank you! Thanks for telling me who Zacchaeus was…
Immediately he turned red and felt very embarrassed… and everybody laughed…
When I reached home, I saw a message he left in my Facebook that read:
“Hi, Pastor… I feel very embarrassed that I was like insulting your intelligence just now at church! For someone like you with a combination of beauty and wisdom, why would you not know who Zacchaeus was! I was really doing the unnecessary to explain, so “sia-soi” (embarrasssing)… Though I know you have a big heart and you wouldn’t hold this against me, I must still apologize to you~ thanks~ ”
I really laughed when I read that, so very cute, haha!
Zacchaeus，欢迎来到这世界，你爸爸真的是很可爱！
Welcome to the world, Zacchaeus, you have a very cute daddy!
