Mataking…

It has been a beautiful, wonderful, refreshing and enjoyable trip. Able to hang around together with someone dear to you without phone line and internet line was really nice… No phone ringing, no worries about work, no distraction… Just like a day in Paradise. However, coming back to reality is sad knowing that works are piling up. But the best comfort that we as a team get is that we come back to reality together as a team and we will grow stronger together believing that God is in the reality with us. As I mention in the last post that I shall take more photos and I did… Though not as many as I thought but I this is alright. Other than a beautiful trip, the Faith Revival Conference in Tawau was awesome. Witnessing God’s power with my own eyes is amazing. Feeling that coming back to KK this time with a different mindset and believe.

** May God strengthen us... **

He is a sweet man

There are numbers of people that came to me and said… Danny is so sweet. He is such a kind hearted man.

Seriously... You look at him; he does looks cute and sweet…


I am glad that I am in love with him. He is indeed a nice and funny guy. He has a beautiful and big heart. His compassion for the needy is amazing. I am grateful that he bears and loves the both sides of me, the ugly and the pretty. The wonderful part about him is that, in times of difficulties, he never gives up in us and he walks with me and be patient with me.


How can I not thank God for such a great man from Him… I am glad that we are looking forward for the day that we will say, 'I will' in front of God.

** I have a great man from above **

Time ticking...

Oh dear… It’s mid of May already and without realization, half year has just gone. Time ticking and works are also piling up. Time has passed really fast and we have been busy as usual.

And the last picture that we took is on 21st March when we celebrate 4th years anniversary. After that… taking pictures together seems like out of the window already. Oh man… I think we need a break to take some memories and moment together. During the Mataking trip, perhaps?

** We need holiday **

Seriously cute...

This little girl… Is seriously super cute… No joke…

When you hold a phone and said, 1…2…3…, she will smile at you because she know you are taking her photos.

Tada…. It is proven…

Start countdown?

When I wrote today’s date, then I realise that the next year of today, it might be our big day…
Though the date is not firm but it’s excited to realise that. So, gonna start the 365 days countdown today? Hmmm…. Wondering…

** 5th May **

Praise the Lord..

It is a great joy to hear great news continuously for a few days. It brings joy to my soul.

# Praise the Lord that my childhood friend has safely delivered a beautiful baby girl today. Both mother and daughter are healthy.

# Praise the Lord that my brother’s health is ok. As the doctor said that he is overweight and need to take care of his eating habit.

# Praise the Lord that my dear friend, Siew May and Ivan is engaged. Truly excited and happy for them.

# Praise the Lord that Danny’s mother and youngest brother has given their life to God and they will be baptising on 3rd July 2011.

** God is always good **

It’s been 27th years.

As I read my previous post in this blog, I realise that every year on my birthday, I will write something about it. I think this year I will do the same too…

It’s has been 27th years and I am now 27 years old. When I thought about what to write, I started with searching some old photos. The furthest I can get I think is this one..
This is when I was 2 years old I guess. I like this photo though it don’t really look like me...

This is when I was 8 years old if I am not mistaken.



I like this picture. This is when we were 15 years old. We’ve been friends since 12 and from then, we are best friends till now. Though distance is kinda hard for both of us but we try the best to talk to each other every day.



This is when we were 17 years old….



This is when we were 19 years old I guess… This is the first year we come back together from KL for CNY.



This is in 2005 means I was 21 years old. This might be the first photo we ever took and he happens to be my future husband.



This was taken on the 1st year in KK, I was 24 years old…



This was taken last year January… I miss my long hair… I think I will keep my hair long.



Tada… This is the latest me… I think I gonna keep my fringe short with a long hair for awhile.



27th years and more to go… I thank God that He is in my life. Having Him in my life is my greater joy. I cannot imagine what my life will be if I don’t know Him as my personal saviour. I thank God that he provides loves one around my life. Though people come and go, but some do stay forever and some leave their footprint in my heart.

** 27th years and more to come **

Happy Easter Day!!!

Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for us.

** Happy Easter Day **

Green Light...

Praise the Lord!!!!

Today we manage to get the green light and blessing to proceed with our planning. After about a year of yellow light, waiting and waiting and praying and praying, at last…. We got the green light.

Gonna start count down from today.

** Praise the Lord for green light **

My favourite girl

Let me introduce you, Carmen Lim, Rev Jacob and Rachel Lim’s daughter. She is sooooooooooo cute… Seriously…

Last week, we have creative ministry meeting at Rachel’s house and she wanted so much to join the meeting with making noise and crawling slowly out from her mattress.


To avoid her from falling down, her godma, Chanel try to secure and stop her with the pillow. But still, she manages to escape.

She is really cute... And very challenging because if you do not have relationship with her, she won't borther to look at you no matter how many times you call her name.

Words of encouragement

To get words of encouragement in my field here seems like really hard and rare. So, when I got some of them, I would like to record it down. So when I am discourage or fearful, this shall be one of the posts to encourage myself.

18th April 2011, 1.30pm:
Mrs Yong (Bishop Yong’s wife) said that, “when I see you dance, it is very nice and very soul lifting. I love to see you dance.”

11th April 2011, 6.48pm:
Cory (Roy’s wife) said that, “Sis, yesterday I really touch when I see you dance in the worship dance. Especially when you close your eyes and dance. Thank you.

13th June 2010, 1054pm:
Evelyn Wong (my dancer) said that,” I think you are the best dance teacher ever. I think you are passionate, skilful, kind and understanding.

** Words of encouragement **

Thoughts about Him...

As I was preparing my heart and walk to prayer meeting last few days, I have some thought about God.

I was wondering, when did I know Him? It seems like He is there in my life since I was a baby. Since very young, I was taught that God loves me, Jesus loves me. He has been in my life since I was a baby. I couldn’t remember when I ask Him to come into my life. Neither could I remember when was my first time I called Him my heavenly father.

This relationship with him since I was a baby amazed me. I knew deep in me that He is always there in my life. Good times or bad times, He is there. Successful times and failure times, He is in my life. Having this relationship with Him and having Him in my life is so amazing that words couldn’t express.

There are times I do not know Him and there are times I will ask, where are You? But realizing it gave me a great comfort that He is in my life and in my heart. Even in dreams I will think about Him and in movies I will think about Him what more when danger comes, I know I always have Him to cry to and to carry me through.

** It’s more than amazing **

Potato Chicken

Cooking can be very inspiring… When I try to cook things that I never cook before, it’s exciting… But if I failed, it’s disappointing at the same time, I will be motivated again by Danny Wong to cook again and again so that it will be improve and better.
Last two days, I tried potato chicken. The first time, I failed because it the bottom part got burned. The second time, I consider it not satisfying because the potato is not soft enough. So, gonna try the third one after I got the cover for the wok.

** Potato Chicken **

Early birthday gift

YEAH!!!!

I got an early birthday gift from my lovely fiancée. It’s like so early but nevertheless, I am a very happy lady. It happened like this;

We went in a shorts shop and trying to find shoes that he likes. I saw this shoes and I told him… I like this. Can I buy this? He says, “Ya... Why not”?

After putting on it and try... I really like it and it’s comfortable but I gave it back to the sales girl and said, “Let me think about it first.” Then I leave the shop. He asked me, “I thought you said you like it.” I said, “I did… But let me think first”. Because it’s hundred ++ and normally I have to think first before I buy stuff. It’s kinda like a habit before I buy something stupid.

He replied and said, “Just get it. It is not very costly and you like. Get it now before no more stock (only left two pairs my size). I pay for it. Go and get it.”

Walked back into the shop and he paid for it. Happily, I carried the bag home... I am really happy that I got shoes that I like and a great man that loves me. Now, I have one Nike shoe and one Adidas shoe. Both from him…

** Happy that I have a great man **

God is always great....

It’s always a blessing from God when we get free stuff. Free doesn’t mean that it is cheap and lousy but it means that someone pays it for you and you got it as a blessing. Someone has to pay for the stuff.

This morning, we got free Mc Donald big breakfast. Totally free as my colleague pay for the minimum payment. Two days ago, we got free vegetable. What a great God we are serving… Feel happy already and ready to start my day counting His blessing.

** God is always good **

Mime....

Last Sunday, I was given the opportunity for the first time to dance mime. The movements are simple and nice but the expressions are not. However, we enjoy doing it…. Though we don’t like the mask/makeup. What to do... mime have to put on something like that on the face.

** All glory to God **

Made my day

2 paus from him and a cup of Milo made my day.
Happy and ready to start my day.

** Thank you Danny Wong **

Cooking…

Cooking is much easier, fun and faster now. Well as for this period of time, I have to learn to cook fast due to the pack with ministry at night… So, have to finish it within 30 minutes. So, we have 3 dishes and rice in 30 minutes. With one new dish some more… I am impressed…


Tada… let me introduce you, the BBQ corned beef with carrot, egg and onion. Danny said… Very nice…


Sometimes, we have corned beef fried rice and chicken wings.



** Enjoying cooking **

Creative Ministry for Children?

For the past 4 days, I was in the training, not as a participant, but as one of the trainer and coordinator. The whole training went well and amazing. It amazed me how creative our God is and how God use an ordinary people to magnify His name. The training was about teaching the children leaders to start creative ministry in their church for their children and hope that they capture the concept of creative ministry.


I enjoy a lot in the training. Firstly, because this is something I really like and secondly, I able to work with Rachel, Chanel and Cory. They are marvelous... I heard about them a lot and this is the first time I work together with them and try to work this training out. We have a lot of laughter and fun together in the preparation as well as in the training. It was my joy and honour to dance together with them as they all have great experience and greatly used by God.



They have workshops...


And we have the youngest participant... Enoch Chia


In all the busyness and tiredness, I am grateful that I didn’t miss God’s presence. Personally, I experience him and my soul is lifted and refreshed. Healing takes place and His love assure me of His greatness and promise.


It was a priceless experience to work together as trainer with them and to see how God move each participant to dance gracefully for Him.

** Enjoy every moment with the moms **

有一位神

A song that minister to me and find much comfort in it that i have Him...

有一位神，有權能創造宇宙萬物
也有溫柔雙手安慰受傷靈魂
有一位神，有權柄審判一切罪惡
也有慈悲體貼人的軟弱

有一位神，我們的神，唯一的神，名叫耶和華
有權威榮光，有恩典慈愛，是昔在今在永在的神

有一位神，有權能創造宇宙萬物
也有溫柔雙手安慰受傷靈魂
有一位神，高坐在榮耀的寶座
卻死在十架挽救人墮落

There is a God, has right to create all things
Has gentle hands to comfort the wounded soul
There is a God, has power to overcome all crimes
He is compassionate and considerate to human weakness

There is one God, our God, the only God, His name is Lord God Almighty.
He has Authoritative glory, grace and mercy, He is in the past, in the future and an everlasting God.

There is a God, has the right to create all things
Has gentle hands to comfort the wounded soul
There is a God, who sit on the glorious high throne
But died on the cross to save the man fall

** 有一位神 **

The provincial gathering

On 21st – 24th February, I was given the chance to go to the provincial gathering together with many clergy and pastors. It was a nice trip because I eat a lot and laugh a lot. It was nice spending some time with our pastors (some of the young ones around our age).


This is the second time I went to Penang. I was kinda worry that going back to Penang might flash back some unwanted memories. But I was coping it well and amazingly well. The places that I went are new or rather I have forgotten them. Maybe I have really forgotten most of the memories that I choose to forget.
Anyway, the trip was nice though I am a bit reluctant to go at the first place but it was nice. We manage to go out for a supper and some last minutes good food and shopping. Didn't manage to buy anything but i look like a ball after 4 days eating and having fun in Penang and I successfully gave Danny Wong a shock when he sees me. I think i really eat a lot for that 4 days. Hehe...

A flash back that bring me a smile

I was having my breakfast alone today with lots of student around me. Suddenly, there is this flash back about my teenage time when I was in secondary school.

There is this boy that felt in love with me when we started to click along. Let’s call him ABC. ABC happens to be one of the so called “gangsters” in the school. To be a ‘gangster’, I think one of the requirements is big size. ABC is kinda a big size boy.

He has his enemy also. They have these two groups of different gang. If you happen to bully one of the members in the gang, they will start a flight.

To continue my side of the story, I was a prefect that time. I don’t think I fear any of them because I know they only have loud voice. Faithfully, I do my duty as a prefect and do what is right and ‘saman’ what is wrong.

One fine afternoon during lunch break, the other side of the gang try to threaten me when I advised them to clean what they have eaten in the canteen. But his ‘member’ stop him and said, this is ABC girl.. Better don’t touch. If not, war will happen. I stand there looking at him and he said to me, you are lucky.

That flash back really gave me a smile. We didn’t end up together because I really don’t like ABC. According to him, he was in love with me for 2 years and waiting for me to accept him.

As time has passed, sometimes, I hope I can meet him and know how he is doing now. I guess even if we meet on the street, we hardly recognize each other because it has been so long.

** Memories are nice **
