Welcome back Joakim.... I left the church at 24 bumped around, here n there, was lost. Met my girlfriend, who's now my wife at 27. She was a staunch Buddhist. A caring n loving girlfriend, she encouraged n accompanied me back to church. I hv never looked back. We got married at 29. I'm now 59 years old with 5 children and my wonderful wife got baptised n is a Catholic. God works in Mysterious ways ❤
9:27 👍🏻😊This bright and steady young man puts it very well, it’s a joy listening to him. May God bless him and his loved ones ❤🙏🏻😊I’ve been a Christian for 40 years. I still enjoy life’s journey with God, to me He’s the loving and wise Father/Daddy who’s always there for me, giving me hope, strength, peace, direction, comfort and miracles. All He asks is that we put our faith in Him, receive His love wholeheartedly and follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ✝️
Lols Joakim..... I recalled following you on "Singapore Idol 2006". Thanks for sharing your faith journey with us here and most importantly welcome back brother in Christ. Here goes the singing;"Lord I'm doing all I can; To be a better man"
This is a true Singaporean. Pretty sad and ashamed to bullies. May Peace be with all of us 🙏🙇♀️❤❤❤ Life is indeed getting more difficult Having a religion is keeping us more sane , and of course, to be balanced instead of obsession. Thank you very much, AsiaOne and Mr. Joakim ❤ All The Best In Your Life❤
Thank you for this video and thank you for your honesty and vulnerability ❤️ so hopeful to see videos like this and such honesty :”) Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring so many! It’s what we all need to hear as well :) The truth is many of us aren’t perfect well we all aren’t and as humans, we hurt others not intentionally. And many people have left church because of wounds and hurt from ppl but really church is all about Jesus. Personally Even as Catholics/christians, I think many of us forget that church should focus on JESUS and recently its been more focused on people, of course people are important and community is important, I also think so as well. But not to forget, to give glory and to remember it’s all about Jesus :) To the topic of acceptance… Being accepted for being who we really are , it’s what everyone desire , we all just want to be accepted for who we really are! :) and as Catholics, being a child of god, finding our true identity :)finding our true purpose in life too is what we search for! It’s okay to have questions, it’s okay to not agree with everything, may we all walk by faith and not by sight in all of this :) “ to humble yourself and we are all sinners, and Jesus died for our sins. “ we don’t deserve his love but he just still loves and we don’t need a reason why so thank u JESUS
BRAVE OF YOU, JOAKIM TO VISIT YOUR OLD SCHOOL AGAIN ❗️❗️❗️ IT MUST BE VERY SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY ❤ NOBODY EVER MAKE FUN OF OTHER RACES....IT IS ALL IN YOUR MIND OF BEEN TOO SELF CONSCIOUS ❗️❗️ TO BE KOREAN MIX WITH INDIAN HERITAGE IS VERY SPECIAL .....WE ARE ALL MAGNIFICENTLY CREATED BY GOD ALMIGHTY ❗️❗️❗️❗️ SO ENJOY YOUR HERITAGE ❤❤❤ JOAKIM
Wow.. 丁老师. I remember her! I think she drove a proton saga last time and she calls it 笨蛋傻瓜. She would ask the students to go to her car and take the worksheets 😃
Kids are ruthless due to instinctive tribalism, Joakim just suay because he is the only one of his race in his class. They will always pick on the odd one out, different race, different country, can't speak common language, clothes don't look as clean, single parent family, etc. Doesn't matter if your child receive the proper education and empathy, peer pressure will either make them do it or stand idle by. That's why so many parents get shocked when they get a call and find out their "little baby" turned out to be a bully or took part in bullying, some would be in such a denial they start victim blaming until video or pictorial evidence gets shown to wake them up.
What was the school? I had no idea how many Catholic churches there are in Singapore....google says 32 with 50% of the members attending regular services.
Wah lao eh, at least your Primary School and memory trails is still stand and trapped there. Most of ours no name pariah, had already been bulldozed dunno go where liao. 🤣 😂

What good is religion if it is good for this life only?
What good is food if it is good for this life only?
that's your opinion
let us worshipped our creator. you can continue worshipping your intellect.
Well, it’s the only life in this world. And it is meant for this life and its continuation in the next. If that’s all there is, what else do you want?
Joakim masok Islam jer 😅
Maybe ur soul is seeking truth when u stopped going to church. Seek it. Learn about other religions, discover why u stopped going.
