Freak out…

Sometimes in the middle of work, I will stunt for awhile and it feels like my heart has stop beating awhile and started to find myself catching for breath. It do freaks me out a bit when time pass so fast and I feel like I am catching up with time.

Exactly 4 more months from now will be our big day and seems like still a lot to prepare. I am not slim enough, skin not good enough, work is starting to pile up as well and the calendar date is filling up. I have not got my gown, have not talk to the florist, have not find the caterer, have not reserve hotel, have not got confirm of some of the small small things. Oh dear…. May God be my help.

Happy New Year again by the way… Glad that it’s a new year, new start, new resolution and hopefully, new chapter of my life.

End of the year

This is the 4th year that I celebrate Christmas in All Saints’ Cathedral. This year Christmas was wonderful. I thank God that with His grace, the dance team is so much stronger with the limited practices and time that we have. With a few steps of guidance, they able to choreograph and perform such a beautiful dance… I am very glad… All glory be to God.


Other than Christmas Eve event, I am grateful also that this is the second year we spent Christmas together and more to come. Of course this also the last year that we spend it as single and next year, we will be spending Christmas as a newly married couple.

With God’s blessing, we went to have a beautiful and tasty buffer lunch at Lee Meridien Hotel. It gave us a glimpse of honeymoon feel. Hehehe…


After that, our staff have a short retreat to Manukan Island. Though the island is not as pretty as Mataking and it’s like no way to compare to Mataking, we also enjoy the time there.


I guess that’s a good way to end our 2011 with lots of happening stuff in these two months.

** End of the year **

Merry Christmas...

Wishing everyone Merry Christmas... Thank you Jesus for coming to this world 2000 years ago. Because of your willingness, i can be who i am today.

** Travelling list **

It’s been a month of wedding, retreats and lots of practices

The madness started a week before children worship conference… Everyone was busy practicing and giving the best to children worship conference and praying the hardest so that the children able to encounter God.

After that, Danny & I went to our dearly best friend wedding… I was a beautiful wedding… Everything was perfect...

Soon after the wedding in KL, we have a short break to search for the right ring, get whatever stuff that we need, spent some time at home and spent some time with our friends..

Came back to KK and the next day, we proceed to Kokol for English Staff Retreat & Planning for next year. It was a great break. We have some time doing nothing, laugh, play and plan ahead for next year.

Back to KK again and I have to prepare myself to Kokol again to support the Clergy wives retreat. I have a great time there as well. Being refreshed in spiritual, mental and emotional… Refocus my direction and purpose of life and continue to pursue on. Make some friends, learn more about marriage and parenting. Laugh non-stop and also learn some cooking skill.

By the time I got back down to KK, Christmas is just two weeks away and I have to start with Christmas practices. So, this two weeks, has been going out to practices, carolling, gaya street and shopping for some Christmas gifts.

Overall, I have a great time away and coming back. Excited and nervous for next year… And sometimes, I got a shock by realising I only have 4 more months to go. So, that’s the latest update me….

** CWC - Wedding - Retreats - Christmas **

The day has come...

Very happy for both of them...


May the Lord bless their marriage as they start a new journey together.

Quiet time

Quiet yourself to listen to your thoughts
Quiet your thoughts to listen to your heartbeat
Quiet your heartbeat to listen to your spirit
Quiet your spirit to listen to His spirit

** Quiet time **

Lord....

Lord... I am exhausted....
I am exhausted...

** Help me, God **

The one?

The one is really hard to choose. Which one?

This one?
Or this one?
Maybe this?
I LOVES this....
And this too.....

Oh man... Which one?

** The one? **

Office attire

Recently, our office has appointed one pastor to be the fashion coordinator. Her job is basically informing us what we should wear to work and what we should not and also what is the standard cloth to wear as a professional worker.

So, this does give some of us some headache. Therefore, I shall start getting a shopping checklist to change some of my cloth inside my wardrobe.

Checklist No 1:
I should get a white shirt. I think I look pro in a white shirt… Or maybe, that’s the standard professional dress code.

Checklist No 2:
Perhaps I will consider a formal dress

Checklist No 3:
I think lady in vest is really nice… I am thinking to get one if I can find a nice one

Checklist No 4:
I should really get a belt..

Checklist No 5:
Perhaps a formal skirt/pant…

I think so far, this is enough… So, prayerfully the Lord will provide..

Guide your heart

The human heart is the vital organ that pumps blood and oxygenates your body. When it doesn’t function properly, your body doesn’t function properly. Doctors encourage exercise and a nutritious diet to keep your heart fit and healthy. In the Bible, the heart is also considered the center of thought and feeling. It is so important that God cautions you to guard it above all else, because your heart filters everything that happens and clogged with all kinds of foulness that settles inside-bitterness, rage, impure thoughts. A dirty heart can no longer tell the good from the harmful and allows hurt and heartache to enter. When you keep your heart pure and clean, it can block the toxins of sinful desires and thought that threaten your spiritual health.

Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.
1 John 5:21

** Guard my heart **

Goal...

Some people are born slim and some are born with slightly more flesh because of their parents genes. I somehow are the one that with more flesh. Not fair, right? Since I was a little girl, I was kinda round in size. When I reach teenager time, my weight started to drop and I have joined the ‘M’ size category but after teenager period, my weight grown back.

Slimming down is always the struggle for me and it is so DIFFICULT. I have to control whatever that goes into my stomach and the controlling and disciplining part is so hard. Therefore, I always gave up half way when I see no instant result or when there is some result, I use eating to celebrate the ‘success’.

Anyhow, from July until now, I have so called ‘successfully’ control my eating and I have seen result with lots and lots of aerobic. So, I would like to record this down to encourage myself that I can do this… I have not reached my goal yet and I am still trying.

I thank God that he answered prayer and with God along in this whole dieting program, it is just a nice and beautiful. It’s not as difficult as I thought as I started to eat less sweet and it slowly changed my taste of food.

With the encouragement around helps a lot also and with a ‘dietitian’ fiancée.

One more month to go and prayerfully, I can make it and reach my goal.

** Counting down 30 days **

Dream girl…

A random conversation….

Me: How slim do you think I have to get?
Him: Erm… Like this is good enough…
Me: Like this? Like not enough la..
Him: Enough lo…
Me: Then how slim is your dream girl?
Him: My dream girl is you lo…
Me: Huh?
Him: Ya

After that…

Me: No matter I fat or thin, you can also accept it?
Him: Ya..
Me: So, when I slim down, does that matter to you?
Him: Erm… As long as you are happy. What matters to you, matters to me.
Me: Awww…. I found the best husband...

4 years ago..

On 7th July 2007, a sms sent to me saying;

Every day, I have to choose too… I also choose to love you with all I can. Many weaknesses that you need to bear with me. Simple truth, you’ve already live longer than me, means you had already learned more things than I am. Plus, you become Christian earlier than me, you’ve been guided by God more than me.

One day, I will over pass you… When I achieve that, be prepare to be my wife…


** He kept his promised **

Doubt

Some people doubt if I can make it... To be very honest, I also doubt whether I can make it or not for just another 3 months time.

Anyway, I shall try my very best and see how far I can go and how much I can be stretch … With God’s grace, prayerfully my self-control is stronger than I thought.

** Finger crossed **

Dieting / fitness

Recently, I’ve been reading and studying about diet, exercise, fitness, metabolism and calories a lot. Like really a lot… Well, all these start from my lovely best friend bought me a dress and I couldn’t fit into it, neither can I zip it. Of course, that gave me a target and a goal as well as motivation.

To express my love towards her and to appreciate her lovely effort and not to waste money, I have to get myself into that dress. So, the whole studies come and my fiancée as a dietitian (but I don’t feel he did much)…

Anyway, this whole thing is not easy. I have to be very conscious with what goes into my mouth, the portion that I took, and the calories that I eat. Oh man…

What motivates me is the measurement of my body record. I measure my body and record it down with date. So, after some time, I measure again. Seeing the decreasing record, I feel so proud of myself. Fingers crossed and hope that I can continue to endure until I reach the certain target.

** Surely you can do it, Jenny Liau **

Our Day Off

Yesterday was a great day. I manage to spend my day off with my man and we manage to do some research for our coming big event. Haven’t really decide on anything yet but we’re getting stuff from all over KK.

After that, we spend some quiet time in Starbucks. With my man, a blueberry cheese cake, a cup of venti Dark Mocha and my ipod… Ahhh… Satisfy day off… Relaxed…

** Starbucks with my man **

Finally…After 3 weeks

Yes… Finally we get to have a proper meal together after his busy studies for three weeks. So, we sort of have a tiny feast to celebrate his freedom from class and my back to cook lifestyle.

Ta da….He enjoy the his favourite meal, I enjoy the cook.

** Enjoy the time together **
