TOP GEAR!!!

I have no idea which car is which... I can't even differentiate between Kancil cars with Perodua cars... i am absolutely useless when it comes to cars..

BUT! I absolutely love to watch Top Gear!!! It made me realized that driving a different car does makes a difference.. (it me car is just a car.. another means of transport in the past)..

Not because the show is useful, informatics or interesting.. ITS IS SUPER FUNNY!!!.. I wouldn't want to use the language they used in the show but it is so funny I sometime laughing in tears... Jeremy, James and Hammett is just so much fun and hilarious... their comments are silly and sometimes of course rude and wrong.. but it's funny... I just can't help it....

Of course not everything in the show shows good values and there are things not to be learn from it.. but just for laugh? why not!!! it de stresses me just to hear them arguing and trying to out-talk each other... :P It amazes me to see these 3 idiots race and compete with each other in their silly tests... funny.. simply funny....

40 Days Fast..

I do encourage everyone to really try fasting.. accordingly.. dun just suka suka then only fast, inconvenient then no need to fast.. let's try really really hard to fast no matter how.. Set a commitment and stick to it.. have a fasting partner that could encourage and cheer us on..

.

Fasting is not only good for health, it is good for the soul. during the fasting period, our soul may very well rebel against the dramatic change in our diet. Experiencing and winning this battle over the flesh is often one of the most powerful lessons of Fasting. We learn to have much self-control and committing one self to God.

.

I am also still learning coz the last time i fast for 3 days it wasn't easy either but it really took a lot of effort and surrendering to God. Now 40 days... I will give my very best.. to fast Daniel fast and pray..

.

Fasting is always coupled with a spiritual goal. So during this time of fasting, let us focus on our neighbours..

What is the Daniel Fast?

The Daniel Fast is a biblically based partial fast. It is a method of fasting that men, women and young people all over the world are using as they enter into the spiritual discipline of prayer and fasting.

There are two anchoring scriptures for the Daniel Fast. In Daniel 1 the Prophet ate only vegetables (that would have included fruits) and drank only water. So from these scriptures we get two of the guidelines for the fast:

1. Only fruits and vegetables

2. Only water for a beverage

Then in Daniel 10 we read that the Prophet ate no meat nor any precious breads or foods and he drank no wine for 21 days. So from this scripture, we get a third guideline:

3. No sweeteners and no breads

Another important guideline is drawn from Jewish fasting principles, where no leaven is used during the fast. So that's why yeast, baking powder and the like are not allowed on the Daniel Fast.

Finally, with all the above puzzle pieces, we conclude that no artificial or processed foods nor any chemicals are allowed on the Daniel Fast.

Family photos...

We don't get to take family pictures a whole lot... coz it's either me taking photos or Nigel taking em' so... one of us is bound not to be in the pic :P

.

But sometimes we get a few favours from friends who offered to take for us.. This one how ever was taken during a friend's wedding in June this year.. it is a poraroid pic.. I dun have the copy of course but it's one of our family pictures :)

.

Will want to organize a day to take just the 3 of us... hmm... when ler? :D

Running away from a Senior???

What do you do when someone you DON"T like or not interested in keep bugging you? WORST!! keep following you!!!! I really hate that feeling...

.

I had a very bad experience once on this matter, if I were older i would have SCOLDED the person but then i wasn't brave enough yet..

.

I went to a fun fare one Saturday morning with my mom and meet this senior from my secondary school.. he is also from my church youth group... When we met there, we chatted a while (i was just being nice..) then i told him that I am going to company my mom other there.. so we parted..

.

I was happily minding my own biz when suddenly i looked up ans saw him in a distance looking at me... ok lar.. a bit uncomfortable d... so i moved a way to another side of the fair.. then.. I noticed that he moved to that part of the fair too!!! I was so annoyed and it's getting pretty obvious that he was stalking me!!! It's like i went left he turned to my direction, i turned the other way he followed... HOW ANNOYING IS THAT!!!! VERY~~~~

.

HHHAARRrrrr~~~~ i was super angry.. until i walked up to my mom and told her that this creep was following me every where i go!!! She laughed and said, " May be he likes you?" "You think? duh??but obviously I DON'T with a capital 'D'!!!!~~~ help me mom!!? please???" SO my mom was my shield the whole day... (he actually have the nerve to come up to my mom and say hi.. GGGGrrrrrrrr~~~ i just ignored him...)

.

I think in the end he got my drift and didn't bothered me for a while.. I felt bad actually, treating him that way.. but never regret it though coz it was necessary... i said sorry for being rude to him after a week (i think) and he was up set but he accepted my apologizes and never bothered me again!! yea!!! Victory!! :P

.

Haih!~~~ things guys do... but please look out for the right signals. Avoiding you means NOT INTERESTED.. so stop following me!!! :P

The Never-Ever-After love stories...

Some puppy love are just not meant to be... some love are just NOT meant to be.. (if you know wht I mean..)

.

You can say that I am the.. how to put this... the charming type??? (of girls?).. my first crush was when i was 10 years old!!! (can you imagine? I dun think I know what I was thinking...) and my crush was my band commander.. he was primary 6 at the time.. but it didn't last lar.. it's just a crush anyway.. and further more, after a few years.... I AM TALLER THAN HIM!!!! :P so, I'm glad that it was not meant to be.. aheehee...

.

Can you imagine, even during primary school you have all this so called 'love triangles" going on... (we watched too much Hong Kong drama lar.. that's why...) boy likes girl, another girl likes the boy and a group of guys likes the girl... you get the picture, right? but come to think of it.. we were all just good friends.. and we still are.. (except those who didn't grow OUT of it.. if you know wht i mean.. again...)

.

Then secondary, being the leaf among the flowers doesn't get me a boy friend at the time.. but then... i wasn't into anyone anyway... coz there were too much "friends" and "family" drama happening in my life, I am not looking for anyone special.. I just want to have good friends... I used to like this guy whom I liked becuase he liked me akakakak.. (weird, i know..) i like that little misunderstanding we had... i thought he liked my friend who sat next to me coz he always looked her way.. mana tau, he was looking at me.. awwww~~~ how sweet hor~~~ akakaka... ya.. i thought so too.. until he wasn't man enough to tell me face to face.. haih~~ long story lar.. bottom line... HE IS NOT MAN ENOUGH FOR ME...

.

Oh~~~ i remembered this one time I went for a blind date... :D you don't want to know the out come but ended up the guy called again and when my mom ask who is this.. he said, :"I am her younger brother." (har??? you are talking to my mom and you are my brother? how 'clever' can you be?) so my mom replied with a smile on her face :"I don't think I have another son." then he hung up and never ever called again!!! HILARIOUS!!!! Even my mom was amazed at his "potato-ness"

.

So many funny stories happened in my life... i'll tell you more next time when ever i remember them... why I thought about it today? hmm... will let cha know later...

2009 Father's Day...

.

.

Put on your seat belt.. it's gonna be a great, exciting and yet challenging ride!!!

Good Old Friends...

How many of us would have a chance to have good old friends...

I am fortunate enough to have time to meet up with them one fine day for a friend's wedding.

We are called the Chinese Orchestra of 96' (Sr 3 years) as the wedding couple is the same age as I am.. we were close, even though some of us are slightly young or older then us but we still remain close friends..

There were so much fun we had when we were still in high school... We use to camp in school inside the class room for 3 days intensive practices.. we get to listen to ghost stories before we go to sleep... Leaders tried to break into our class room full of sleeping members... (they didn't manage to came into our room coz we locked it wahahaha.. some class rooms who was not so fortunate.. ahehehehe.. they video taped ppl drooling while asleep and the 'style' they were in was really hilarious... )

I remembered there was one incident where they did a morning call at 3am where all of us need to get down to the field and stand in a row! akakakak i can still remember one of my friend brought her blanket down and standing next to me with a blurr face akekekeke... it was hilarious... i can't stop laughing at her.. and she was like.. "huh? why are you laughing? Why am i here?" ahehehe... we were so crazy... ahahaha...

We use to do all kinda thing... once i remembered that we need to take a bath in the "MALE" toilet... (yes the male toilet) and because some of the students still goes to school during the holidays and they didn't know that we were in the toilet.. they went in and got a shock and they guys keep saying "sorry sorry..." then when they went out, they realized that it was their toilet and not ours ahahahah.. they thought they went into the wrong toilet akakakaka... we were well dressed ok... not revealing or anything.. just that we were standing there waiting for our turn to use the toilet.. akakaka...

Why you may ask that we girls need to use the guys toilet to shower? :) simple, in out club/society girls are more than guys so obviously the girls toilet will not be enough :D so we have to use the guys toilet.. ahahaha what an experience...

more silly stories... next time :)

Today's Briefing...

Today's short briefing is to remind everyone that the Worship ministry is an utmost importance because everyone not only look at God through you, they look at your lives and they will either imitate it or rebuke it.

.

I hope all who have attended the short meeting will understand how serious it is for them to live their life right before God and before man...

.

DO NOT BE A STUMBLING BLOCK!!

2 Corinthians 6:3 "We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited."

.

WORSHIP THE LORD BY WALKING IN THE SPIRIT AND LIVING IN HIS TRUTH.

John4:24 " God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

.

DO NOT USE OUR LIPS OR THOUGHTS FOR CURSING OR FILTHY WORDS

(unwholesome talks).

James 3:10-12 "Out of the same mouth comes praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water."

.

I don't think I need to explain the verses, but if you personally wanna know more on what does it mean, pls gimme a buzz/msg. the verse speaks very clearly what we must and must not do to live a Christlike life.. these are just but a few..

.

WE WILL TEACH, REBUKE, CORRECT AND TRAIN YOU IN GOD'S WORD

2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is God breath and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

.

Last but not least, we as your leaders will use the Word of the Lord to teach, rebuke, correct and train you as it is wht the word is for.. but rebuking is not a pretty sight nor something sweet to the ears.. it is expressing disapproval, criticize and even scolding.. but God's word had put it this way.. that we are to teach (inform you what we all need to do), then rebuke (should we find anything wrong we'll need to address it to you or bring it to light), the correct (showing you the right path you should take or showing you the right way to do it) then to train (bit by bit we overcome it together with God's help and power) all of you up..

.

I know I said this many many times and sometimes you don't feel so.. but it is true that I love you young people.. even though some of you does not consider yourself as the youths anymore, you are still in my heart and in my prayers. Every time your hearts aches, every time you stumble and fall, every time you cry your heart out.. i feel for you.. i wished it wouldn't be so.. but i know everything happens for a reason.. and that God is with all of you every step of the way..

.

(of course i love others too.. :P but my passion for your generation is a calling from our Almighty.. something inborn and something being born to me in the spirit.. unless God decides it.. I will still be here for you and with you.. )

Paper eating Alexander... :D

He doesn't really eats the paper... just like to chew on it :D

He puts anything into his mouth anyway so since it's just a peice of paper.. why not?

Eh? What are you lookin at dude? never seen a baby eating paper b4?

YUmmy yummy...

Yes, he had the Church bulletin for tea.. I still keep it in my file :D

So it is not wasted... :)

Funny things the young ppl think about...

Young people always makes me laugh...

I was sharing the other day during our PY meeting about dating: Purity.. I ask ask a couple of questions on how to deal with temptation...

"What would you do when a sexy, pretty and curvy young girl tries to seduce you in a room with no one but you and a close door?... She comes nearer towards to and as she walked slowly she began to seduce you with her sexy voice and tempting curves...?" the ans i get...

" USE PEPPER SPRAY!!!" thank you Kenneth for the ans.. I would never guessed it.

My poor heart almost 'pengsan'.. pepper spray? haiyo.. guys used pepper spray? ahahaha first time ever...

.. then i ask another person on the same subject... he said...

"NO!!!" (firm, fierce and strong NO!.. by Charles.. )

Not the sissy type.. but then... someone from the back seat screamed.. " PLEASE!!!~~"

So can you imagine when it was combined? "NNOOOoooo!!!! please??~~~~"" IRONIC... that's wht... aheeheehee... sad case... begging to get out of there akakakaka...

When we did the role play on rejecting your bf or gf for doing sex, it was weird to hear a girl asking a guy to.. you know wht.. ahaha and the honors goe to Stephanie and who ah?? Charles is it?? :P

When we tried to guess everyone's ideal partner.. aheeheehee.. hot lar, pretty lar, tall lar.. sadly only one person include God in the whole picture.. and that is?? Can you guess who might tt be?

ALL OF YOU SHOULD LEARN FROM HER AH!!!

Only when you do so you shall find that one person that God had made for you and only you.

You potatoe you!!!... huh?

Have you ever laugh when someone scold you? Not to offend the person or to show disrespect.. but when someone scold you and called you a Potato... i think it's funny :D

.

I had an ex-boss once that scolded me for making a careless mistake and he literally called me a Potato.. i think that was the first time i was scolded that way.. he didn't raised his voice or fierce or anything.. he was just trying to contain his anger.. (i think..) and when i heard he sadi the word "potato.." i said, 'What?" he ans, "Potato, you know potato?" I was like giggling already by then aheehee..

.

It was funny to me, i came out of the room giggling.. ahahahaha.. and told my friends i was scolded "potato..".. i think my friends thought it was funny.. funny not because i was scolded "potato" funny that i could laugh about being scolded.. akakakaka...

.

Haiya.. i know i was careless and i will definitely improve and be more mindful next time.. so why so serious until i need to feel bad and horrible for being scolded.. i deserve the scolding for making a mistake so take it like a man!!!! or a woman!!! (in my case a woman lar...) but eh experience of being scolded a potato is really something.... funny... ahahaha

.

May be next time I'll scold someone "You carrot you!".. or " You Eggplant! how can you make such mistakes?!" ahehehehe... Dun be angry if one day i may scold you tt way... it shows that i am trying to contain my anger and hope you'll laugh about it as much as i had the first time i experienced it :D

Being a NEW breed of House wives..

Any thought to my title?

.

What do I mean by "a new breed of housewives"?

.

Define it..

.

It's not really new but it is creeping up slowly in our society.. Housewives that are able to earn a living while being a home maker :) isn't that ideal? to me it is.. All I wanted is to serve My God, My family, My Friends, My Church, My Community and My Nation..

.

I know many may think being a housewife is such a lowly occupation.. NOT AT ALL!!! It is a full time job and the investment is in the atmost importance... Her family...

.

I'm not saying that we all must be a housewife and at the same time earn a living... What I am saying that it would be ideal but not necessary.. Just do all that we can to be that Person God wants us to be, be it a full time working mom or a full time housewife.. Both position demands respect and sacrifices.. and both are noble and good..

.

So? what's the difference? The difference is... which one will we choose when God calls us to make the opposite choice? Like you really love working but God calls you to stay home for your children or You love staying at home but God ask you to stay at work? struggling? yes... I would definitely struggle.. but as long as you make the choice where God ask you to be at that point of time...

.

..You are going to be ok... :)

.

Proverbs 31:10-31

The Wife of Noble Character

.

A wife of noble character who can find?

She is worth far more than rubies.

Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.

She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.

She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.

She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.

She gets up while it is still dark;she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.

She considers a field and buys it;out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

She set about her work vigorously;her arms are strong for her tasks.

She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.

In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers...

...(and the verse goes on..)...

CPY & Alexander

Wonder how is Crystal doing.. hmmm~~~

We all miss ya!!! and your bro Aaron too.. Hope you all are well...

aheehee... Alexander is bigger now... come see us more often...

See ya!!!

爸爸，我很想你知道．．．

Give all... not some..

God can’t fix a broken heart if you don’t give Him all the pieces. Jennifer Leigh Youngs

Absolutely, positively right! How to mend a broken piece if there are missing pieces to the puzzle? It will never be complete.. NEVER!!!~~ EVER!!~~~

So you out there who are in despair.. who are sad and down.. who are what we call it now a days.. emo-ing.. Give every pieces to God, He knows what to do with it.. Just trust in Him..

It’s the life behind the words that makes the testimony effective.

I got this quote from somewhere I cannot recall.. Sorry for that, as I am unable to give credit to the person who quoted this..

This is such a profound quote, so true and wonderful all at the same time.. It is the LIFE behind the WORDS that makes the testimony EFFECTIVE. Without the life, no amount of words could make a testimony worth following..

Makes me wonder.. What have my life speak of my testimony? Has it been effective? How do we measure? How did I do? Only God knows I suppose.. but I know a couple of things may be I can think of to improve.. :D I will ponder on it and act soon.

Have my life amount to anything? Yes? No? May be? To what, you may ask? Amount to what?... I cannot really say.. A high paying job? money? A big house and a new car? A super star career? Popularity? Wealth and sense of achievement? Diamond, gold or jewelries? Comfort, leisure or luxury?

Ahhahaha I dun think I have any of those :P “Pai seh”~~ Humbly I can only say, besides having Jesus in my life, I have my loving family, friends and love ones.. that’s all that matters in the end of the say anyway.. isn’t it?

Never knew I would see this..

I had never seen anything like it.. it was so sudden and it was really scary.. scared me when I woke up in the middle of the night because od some noise coming from my 15th floor window.. Sounds like a concrete collapsing, I thought it was the bridge.. (which is for the big ‘longkang’ behind my house..) but when I went outside my room to have a better look… I was shocked!! To see this..

.

I can feel the heat and hear the zinc crashing down… people were calling out to each other for help or to do something useful.. The first thing I did was to wake up Nigel and ask what should we do? Should we head down? Then I change into a proper clothing and prepare to leave in case anything happens..
.

Then Nigel and I stand next to the window and keep an eye on the fire.. it was about 333am, Sunday morning.. (That was the time my recorder recorded).. the firemen came may be 5 min later but the fire was really really HUGE! The smoke was humongous! Thank God the wind blew it to the other side and not towards our place.. if not, our house would have smelled like roasted duck.. The burned type…

I really Thank the Lord for His Protection.. When the fire was burning, I went into Alexander’s room where he was sound asleep.. he doesn’t know and he doesn’t need to know.. he can lay down and sleep soundly.. :) Praise The Lord…

Get to plan a head now...

Finally i dun need to chase after change anymore.. finally it has stop rushing a head of me.. finally i can run a head of change and hoping to do a better job..

Not just in my work, but with my ministry, with my household, family and frens.. After so much of change i finally able to settle down..

I love change, honestly... i mean certain changes of course.. like shifting the furniture, trying to do better at certain things, implementing certain principles etc.. but too much uncertainty is really stressful and scary. Especially those that is not within our control... You know the feeling that the disaster will never end? or you keep asking yourself.. "When is this going to end?" you know that feeling? huh~~??

I really thank God for being my provider... my strength and my shield during the past few months.. I encountered grief and great pain yet joy and love all at the same time.. I know I keep saying this.. hahaha coz it's really happening.. to me.. who would have guest?

I am glad that at least right now in my vocation, i am more settled. Now going to pray more for thy ministry... God, lead me to the place where you are.. coz there is where I want to be.. for the rest of my life here on earth...and throughout eternity...
