Aloysius 1st PK2 Camp 6-9Dec'07

2007-12-12T07:26:00.000+08:00

When I know dat d PK2 have Camp, I'm very excited (very sad it's not 4 me...) Hahaha... I love camps. If I'm not wrong, my very 1st camp is around P3 or P4 where a group of us cousins, we went to dis camp organise by CC. Unlike d church ones, we actually sleeps in Tents. It was a wonderful experience. I used 2 stay in Kampong for abt 13 yrs so, outdoor camps is not a problem for me, as we r not afraid of d mosquitoes & insect bites (immune alrdy).

I've more camping experience during Sec School days as I'm wif d NPCC. It was terrific & thrilling & FUN FUN FUN!

I persuaded my son until he finally agrees 2 go 4 dis PK2 camp, on one cond, ie, if he dun like it, I'll not force him 2 go nxt year. I thank God dat he really enjoys it & dun mind going nxt year. Praise God!

My Sec School friend's Son Sean also attended & his feedback was good too. They misses each other company so much.

All I can say is "GOD is a good God & He is so Faithful & Loving"

All Glory To God!

"Gor-Gor-Pi-Yer" ???

2007-07-20T17:13:00.000+08:00

All mothers have experience what I've experience now. Yes, trying to figure out what ur child is trying 2 tell U. And worse of all, their pronounciation is not "there yet", Not perfect yet. So.... here's what happened 2day.

Matt was trying 2 tell me "Gor-Gor-Pi-yer".

I ask him : "Gor-Gor-Pi-yer"??? R u saying "gor gor go Wee Wee???"

Matt : No, "Gor-Gor-Pi-yer".

I ask him : "Go, Go Play ya" ???

Matt : No, "Gor-Gor-Pi-yer".

At this point of time, a little frustrated ... I ask him 2 SHOW me. (I was at his kindergarten school waiting 2 pick my friend's daughter who went 4 excursion).

He bring me 2 his classroom, pointed 2 a picture .... and I Burst out laughing .....

Can U guess what Matt is trying 2 say ????

It is "Caterpillar". Hahaha! All my frustration GONE! Ended up in a laughing mode. Of course I corrected his pronounciation, n dis time, he got it a little rite "Cater-pi-yer, he said".

The "Parrot"

2007-07-17T23:06:00.000+08:00

My little darling Matt, is behaving like a "parrot". Why? Becos he is trying 2 imitates what is spoken of another person. My 2 older children were soooo frustrated wif him. He will even follow their actions, n what they say.

Looking at him doing all these makes me laugh. He likes 2 watch advertisement n do the same thing "parroting"... His favourite song in d advertisement is "Ah ......Gatsby... Gatsby..." Hahaha....

Lots of fun!!!

男人四十是一枝花

2007-05-15T17:09:00.000+08:00

It is said that a picture paints a thousand words. So today, Ah hiaN 阿兄....say a few words.

有人说，男人四十是一枝花。要经过20岁的发芽，30岁的含苞，仿佛做完了一切准备工作，到了40岁，才“哗”地一下彻底开放了。于是仿佛人生在40岁这一年一下到了最完美的顶峰。这显然说的是在40岁这一年成功的男人。

PTL. New beginning is beginning.

The Fantastic 4 suppose to leave for Pulai Spring, but end up only 3个好人. Anyway hope the tycoon will join us next time.

On the 2nd day, the Wongs' and Lims' went back to Singapore where the Lees' stay on one more day @ New York Hotel. The suite was so big that the kids hope that other can stay back to play hide and seek.

3rd day - before setting off back to Singapore, we went for a car wash opposite the hotel - for only RM 7!! Not only they wash, they also vacuum inside. It was really cheap and good.

2007-03-14T17:33:00.000+08:00

Built-in Radio

2007-03-09T14:06:00.000+08:00

I wonder if you guys have this experience before that a song you heard keeps replaying in your mind till you have difficulty switching the 'mental' radio off.

Last time the song was used to be " 我爱你爱着你就像老鼠爱大米 ...."
Matthias like to listen to this song. Whenever he is in the car, he will say "爱你爱你".

After they learn about the 'RPT' button, they press it once and the song will play again and again and again ...... and again .... aarhhh.....

Now, the latest hit is " I want to know, have you ever seen the rain .... I want to know, have you ever seen the rain,comin' down on a sunny day. "

Jesus is our divine righteousness and today we are made rich because of the cross. Abraham was very rich in gold and silver, as the seed of Abraham today, we need to arise and realize that we have a blood covenant with God that promises us financial prosperity.

God's Hand upon her....

2007-02-05T15:15:00.000+08:00

2day morning, I brought Carlin for her 7 yrs old check-up @KK Hospital. Dis is a yearly check-up & thank God, dis year end (when she turns 8) will be her last check-up. I thank God that she progress well, she is healthy & her baby doctor was very satisfied wif her progress after seeing her academic results & after talking 2 her.

So... next year, I dun have 2 bring 4 anymore check-ups (dat save me from d hassle).

PTL! He is my Saviour, my Redeemer, my Strength & my EVERYTHING.

On this day 41 years ago, I was born.

2007-01-31T17:05:00.000+08:00

Once upon a time, there is only void. Then God created the heaven and the earth. Then after the planet Earth is formed and populated by living things of all shapes and sizes over a few thousand year, a somebody by the name of Johnson was born in KK, in a small dot on the planet called Singapore. Yes. Singapore.

I asked for wisdom, grace, favour and greater anointing to flow in my life, so that I can become a source of blessing to many. I wanna soar with eagles' wings.

Thank you Lord, for creating me just as I am.

Year of New Beginning

2007-01-21T16:00:00.000+08:00

:: I was much heartened by Pastor's message on Year of New Beginnings. Yes. New beginnings.

:: We have our NE zone server nite gather last Sat. Our table got 1st for games, so i went up to rec'v the prizes.

:: Later we have couple games, total 5 couples went up on stage ( we are one of them) The game was about asking questions about your spouse, like what is your wife favourite color, food etc. what is yr husband weight, hobby etc. I didn't get all correct ( my wife guessed all correct ) , but overall we still won. wahaha .... so collect prizes again.

:: That nite, unknown to me, the church presented me the long service award for serving 10 ten yrs as CGL. So again, i went up to rec'v token of appreciation from PL. PL 1st word, "wow... tonite u took all the prizes". LOL. but later she say " more good years" . Amen!

:: Yes , new beginning is beginning.

Hahaha...Lalala...

2007-01-20T15:58:00.000+08:00

"hahaha...... No weapon form against me shall prosper....". Yes, dat's exactly wat d Lord has promise us in His Word. Matt has his chicken pox outbreak on Monday & d last traces of outbreak is on Wednesday. By Thursday, I did not see any other new "pox" coming out. PTL! So, instead of waiting till 29/1 (Mon) for his review, I can bring him 4 his review on 25/1 (Thurs). Dat means we can go BS on Fri nite & Sun svc. All Glory 2 Jesus 4 He makes it possible. Amen!

Matt down wif pox...

2007-01-17T16:29:00.000+08:00

Matt is down wif chicken pox. It all started on Monday morning 15/1/2007. I was still in bed when he crept up quietly into my bed. I was still very sleepy & I saw 1 small dot near his ear & I accidently burst it.... Oh no, it looks like it, so, immediately I check his body & confirm it.

So, for dis 2 weeks, he will be resting at home (that includes me as I need 2 take care of him). I thank God that so far, he dun fuse or seems lethargic. I remember about 4 to 5 yrs ago where I had chicken pox, it feels horrible, dis unbearable itch. Thank God 4 His Hands upon Matt.

I pray 4 speedy recovery. Amen!

The Active Toddler

2007-01-12T16:02:00.000+08:00

Today, I got a complain from Matt form teacher Mrs Lai. He push his classmates, beat his classmate & also trying to poke 1 of his classmate eye. He snatch their toys during play time & refuse to share. Sigh ...

Ok, ok ... dis is temporal. He will be a good & obedient boy in Jesus Name! Lord I submit dis adorable, intelligent boy into ur Hands. Amen!

Matt adjustment

2007-01-11T13:42:00.000+08:00

PTL! Matt has been adjusting very well 2 his new school. This 2 days, he walks into d school by himself w/o clinging 2 me. Hallelujah! Never expect it 2 be soooo fast. I'm really very happey & glad dat God answers my prayer so fast.

As I hv a cousin who works in dat school, I get updates from her as per how Matt behaves in class. He is very attentive & a great observer too. For me, I like to play "speech" wif him. Each time I say a word or sentence, he is always so keen 2 repeat what I hv said. Tho not clear, I'm glad he is trying. Juz yesterday, he surprise me by saying "I am a boy".

He is starting 2 pick up sentences dat I've taught him b4. I believe in no time, he will be babbling away wif sentences. I'm so glad wif his progress (alto he started slow in speech, unlike his brother & sister who starts earlier). Well, I always remind myself dat each child is unique & the time will come when he is ready to speak, so I've never push him 2 speak.

I'm glad dat d toilet training thing is improving. PTL! All Glory to Jesus!

Matt goes 2 school

2007-01-04T16:41:00.000+08:00

3rd January 2007, Matt 1st time attend school. (He is now 2 yrs 5 mths) It's a 3 hr school at Shalom Kindergarten. He's in Pre-Nursery. This is Matt in his school uniform. Well, his 1st & 2nd day .... cries ...

He clings 2 me like a "Koala" but I'm very persistance too. I juz let go & let him cry. And thank God, it's juz a moment kind of thing. So far, he's well-behave & participate in activities too. PTL! I believe that soon .... very soon ... he will juz walk in 2 his class by himself w/o crying ")

Now, my challenge wif him is ... toilet training. Got 2 start training him w/o pull-up pants. "God help Me..."

Living my blessed life

2006-12-28T09:31:00.000+08:00

:: yesterday i turned 7. no big celebration becos of the squint op on 21 Dec. I can't swim, eat seafoods, chicken and eggs for a month. so, no cake ( becos got egg mah) ..... instead we have ICE CREAM cake.

:: The review on 26 Dec was good. Doc say my eyes are completely complete, perfectly perfect now. ( this one is i say wan..... ) PTL! My father say " got to use the f word man". LOL!

:: Thank you Lord. For Dad and Mum, for my family, for my friends, for my school. For everything. Thank you Lord.

Food for thought...Blessings

2006-12-13T17:21:00.000+08:00

Came across Ps Prince daily devotional. In d chinese saying ... 到处碰壁， ours is 到处碰 BLESSINGS. Oh.... I juz love this.

Deuteronomy 28:22 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you…

God wants to bless you and He delights in blessing you. He has even declared that “all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you”. This means that you can’t run fast enough to escape them! When you turn one corner, there is a blessing waiting for you. When you turn another corner, you run smack into another blessing!

Thank You Jesus! We have a BIG God who never fails to bless us! Amen!

Our Msia trip 3-8 Dec06

2006-12-11T11:45:00.000+08:00

We spent 2 nites in Port Dickson, 2 nites in Genting & 1 nite in KL. It was a trip spend wif the Lim's & Wong's family. A trip that I enjoys & I muz say, the kids enjoys it too. Praise God 4 protection while we drive up 2 all destination.

In Port Dickson, we stayed in Tiara Beach Resort. They hv a very big swimming pool wif water playground for both adults & kids. This resort is more like our very own downtown east, & it is more for their locals getaway.

The nxt 2 nites, we spend at Awana Genting. This is one nice hotel that I recommend especially those who dun like crowd & smoke, like me =) All the kids had great fun playing in the outdoor theme park. I especially enjoyed the Flying Coaster. It was thrilling & shiok. Billy, Abigail & myself played twice. It was fun, real fun.

Throughout the trip, we eat alot, fellowship wif one another, & sometimes play card games 2gether. It was a relax trip for me. I'm looking forward 2 more holidays next year. =) Our God will surely supply all our needs and bless us wif much more. Amen!

Our Bangkok trip 26-29Nov06

2006-11-30T08:37:00.000+08:00

We r BACK. Praise God for protection & fun time too.

Throughout dis trip, we WALK alot, EAT alot, & SHOP moderately .... hahaha... Overall, we spent more on EATING. The food was good, deliciious, & cheap!

On our 1st day, we reached Bangkok in d morning. Once check-in 2 d hotel @Samran Pl, we unload our luggage in headed our way 2 d famous Chatuchak. (For those who r gg Bangkok, 1 day at chatuchak is really not enough). We only conquer a small section of it. The nxt few days/nites, we go around MBK, Siam Ctr, Pratunam "Pasar Malam", chinatown. On d last day, we found 1 map that shows d exact location of all d "Pasar Malam". It's a bit too late to find the map but nevermind, our nxt trip will be well prepared & ready to GO-GO-GO.

Juz for info, the hotel we stay is a small hotel. They dun hv room service but hack care, as long as it's clean & neat. They tidy d room everyday of our stay & change d towel everyday too. It's only S$39/nite with breakfast which I find it's value for $$. It's near to Asia Hotel & took us abt 5-10mins walk to d skytrain. Walking to MBK area took us abt 15-20mins.

2006-11-21T09:41:00.000+08:00

Father's Love

2006-11-10T08:28:00.000+08:00

This is a touching story about a father and his son. Twenty years ago Rick Hoyt ran a 5k while pushing his disabled son in a wheelchair. After the race his son told him that while racing he did not feel disabled. They have since competed in over a hundred triathlons and marathons together.

I'm happy....

2006-11-08T15:29:00.000+08:00

Undisturb sleep

2006-11-06T16:44:00.000+08:00

It's been a long long time since we have this undisturb sleep...reason being our 3 kids were all at my brother hs =) It was somehow unplan.

Saturday morning, our family went swimming (as the kids hv their swim lesson), then we went for lunch wif Wong family. Afterwhich, we send my 2 older kids 2 my brother hs as they r gg 2 d science centre. Matt was supposed 2 be wif us but he was crying.... really very loudly & it did looks pitiful that my sis-in-law can't bear & decided 2 bring him along.

They were suppose 2 come hm at nite but also last minute have a 1 nite stay there. So..... thank U Father for dis undisturb sleep. I'm not complaining, to me a bonus 1 nite power sleep is refreshing & recharging =)

Children are a blessing

2006-11-06T15:41:00.000+08:00

This pictures will tell you why .....

Children

2006-11-01T15:53:00.000+08:00

Having children is such a blessing – most of the day. But honestly…. It’s not always a bed of roses.

But when those little ones sleep ( Matthias is creative, mischievous and independent ) or Aloysius or Carlin say something sweet - ah … all that craziness and insanity and gray hairs they gave you that day seem to disappear! Nows-a-day, Matth still cries when you go out of the house but he seldom follow you around the house already. LOL.

Ah hian can imagine the BIG mass and joy you’d have with twins or worst- triplet. ( Buy two get one free….siong! )

God's Healing Power

2006-10-21T21:18:00.000+08:00

Since Monday, my youngest son Matt and myself was sick. It did makes me worry as he's been vomitting. I choose 2 believe in what God has 2 say. Yes, We R already healed on the Cross. For d past few days, God's word is soooo comforting. It re-assured me once again. Below is one of d few messages that encourages me. It's extract from Ps prince daily devotional. Enjoy reading.

(Msg from Ps Prince Daily Devotional)

What Do You See?

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

A blind lady was led to a great healing evangelist for prayer. After he had prayed for her, he asked her, “Now, tell me what you see.” She opened her eyes, only to be told, “Close your eyes. Tell me what you see.” She tried opening her eyes again, only to be told, “I didn’t say to open your eyes. I asked you what you saw. Close your eyes! Now, tell me what you see.”
This went on for a while, until the lady realised that the evangelist was asking her what she saw on the inside. Did she see herself seeing? When she understood that, she said, “I see myself with sight.” Then, the evangelist told her, “Now, slowly open your eyes.” That moment, she opened her eyes to perfect vision!

When you prayed just now, what did you see inside you? Were you praying for someone’s healing but that person in a coffin? Were you praying for a financial breakthrough but the banks pursuing you till you are bankrupt?

Many people don’t get what they pray for — they get what they believe they receive when they pray, because Jesus said, “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

“Whatever things” includes everything. And believing that you receive them comes before having them. Jesus once told a centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And the centurion’s servant was healed that same hour. (Matthew 8:13) The centurion saw his servant healed. He believed that he had received his miracle, even before it came to pass.

So when you pray, what do you really believe and see on the inside?
“Well, Pastor Prince, I really can’t see it.”
Then don’t pray yet. Change your vision on the inside first. Start seeing yourself with the answer. See yourself healed, see yourself staying in the house that you want, see yourself enjoying more than enough. Then pray, and you will have whatever you ask for!

Hi...Crackpots

2006-10-05T13:43:00.000+08:00

Crackpots

A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfec t for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do. After 2 years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."

The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back,you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house".

Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them. Blessings to all my crackpot friends and GOD BLESS you all.

FOOD for thought

THE BRICK

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?" The young boy was apologetic. "Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop..." With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother, "he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me." Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. "Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: "Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!" God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not.

Thought for the Day:

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.

If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.

He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning

Face it, friend - He is crazy about you! . God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Read this line very slowly and let it sink in... If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

It's been almost a yr already since my husband step down from serving in d chn ministry. I know that he always enjoy serving becos he loves Jesus. I miss those times where he will practise alot of guitar and singing and worshipping d Lord. Now adays, he will still do so but once awhile touch dat guitar of his and worship d lord in chinese or cantonese songs. I always love it when he sings those cantonese christian songs. Although his voice is not dat perfect, but more imptly, he's able 2 touch my heart wif those songs. Tears will roll down from my eyes hearing those Love songs 2 God. Unknown 2 me, he has put up dis song "真爱" in dis miracle5 blog. It touches my heart once again. It once again remind me of How Good and How Loving our Heavenly Father is. He is Faithful and always will.... "当我想到耶稣独自背着十架行向这辛酸之路讥讽嘲笑旁人在耻笑责骂祂却决心为我受尽痛苦...." (Cantonese song 真爱)

Hols coming ...

2006-09-14T14:14:00.000+08:00

Whoa... CA2 exams was over, got their results, hv one week of hols and then ....

Juz y'day, I received from my kids school d date schedule, SA EXAMS coming. Time really flies and their exams r round d corner. My older son will be having his SA English & MT paper 1 (ie, Composition) on 5 & 6 Oct, followed by their Oral Exam on 9 & 10 Oct (Happens 2 be my anniversary). Sigh ... And their SA final exam from 26 Oct to 1 Nov.

These 2 months will be a bz month (will remind myself 2 relax & trust God for Wisdom). Amen!

BUT ... Once exams over MEANS ... HOLs (Ye!)

假期的第一天

2006-09-05T08:19:00.000+08:00

昨天，当我在做家务时，我被小儿子那么一吵，就忘了我头顶上的木窗，撞个正着。。。好疼哦！眼泪几乎要流了出来。我蹲在那里几分钟，说不出话来，小儿子傻傻的站在那里，不知道发生什么事。我的脑袋想了一个问题。。。“如果我现在不省人事怎么办？如果我死了怎么办？“

我当然不想这样就死掉，我会舍不得我身边最亲的家人和朋友，我还没有实现我的欧洲之行especially switzerland, 我还没享受够天伦之乐，还有就是我还没拥有我自己的私人公寓呢！

虽然早上起床头还会痛，但是我还是要感谢耶稣的保守，恩典，信实。。。因为有了耶稣一切就够了，耶稣就是我的一切 ... HE IS MY EVERYTHING!

Full Packed

2006-09-03T18:16:00.000+08:00

Saturday was a bz day.

Morning 8.30 to afternoon 4pm
- Aloysius hv chess class in school
- Carlin has tuition class
- swimming lesson
- RSAF open house check it out here

After that, we went back home abt 4 for a short rest.

5.30pm to 12 mid-nite
- Borneo Motors Leng Kee > wif Lim family, Wong family, Lee family
- A sumptous dinner at AV. The food was delicious.
- At Bishan Lim's family tuition centre > hv a time of warm fellowship

We hv a very fruitful time of sharing. I was very touched by Billy & Heow Khoon sharing on How God turn their debt around. Despite the fact that they r heavily in debt, they did not give up but continue 2 put their trust in d Lord. God Is Good and He blesses them and in a short period of time, they cleared their debts and they hv been enjoying His Goodness and Blessings.

So one thing I learn, ie, despite of wat u r facing each and everyday, do not focus on ur circumstances. Instead, focus on JESUS, HIS Finished Work and He is able 2 provide a way of escape. Amen!

Do U know how dis game "Hide & Seek" dat we played when we were a child come about??? Originated from where??? Well, it's from d Bible ...

"And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden."

Hahaha... I've always enjoy dis games "Hide & Seek". When I was a child, I used 2 stay in Kampong and the areas of "Hiding places" was really very big and wide. It's not easy 2 find d ppl hiding places. Juz playing dis game can last from morning till dawn. And furthermore, 2 hide at night is even more difficult 2 locate them. But d trill was there. It's not easy but u will hv d satisfaction once u locate them.

She even told me she is very proud of me because when she was young, she also learn to ride a bicycle. It was when she was Pri 6 then she really know how. My brother and I managed to ride with just a few sessions with my dad. Thank you Jesus for giving me the courage to persevere.

My kids CA is finally over. Aloysius last paper being Science on Thurs.

Yesterday, my son was telling me dat his Chinese paper is easy and he score 41/50. I was really very "shocked" to hear his results. Some of u may not know, his languages are not very good especially Chinese. Sometimes, d test may be easy but he can score borderline or even fail by a few marks. So, with my unbelieve, I ask him again "Is it upon 50 or 60?". His reply is "upon 50, and I scored 41....". Unbelieve but yet I was overwhelm by His Love, I'm juz so happy 2 hear he pass his chinese and scored pretty well.

This words keeps ringing in my head "Oh me of little faith....". Hahaha.... I juz can't help laughing but 2 thankGod 4 wisdom (I prayed 2 ask God 4 wisdom, lay my hands over their head and let Him take over). I've learnt not 2 pressurize them and not 2 pressurize my self too and also learnt d importance of praying God's blessings and wisdom over my children.

Grey Hair Worries

2006-08-14T14:17:00.000+08:00

This article is taken from "breadbits".

Clodpole and Nitwit had not seen each other for a long time. One day, they bumped into each other. Clodpole was surprised to see that Nitwit's hair had half turned grey.

"Your hair is turning grey. What happened?" Clodpole asked.
"oh, you do not know. I have a lot to worry about," Nitwit sighed.
"What exactly do you have to worry about?" Clodpole asked.
"I worry about my hair turning grey!" answered Nitwit.
"So, the more you worry about your grey hair, the more grey hair you have, and the more you worry about it," said a bemused Clodpole.
"Yes, exactly!" said Nitwit.

Alot of times in our daily lives, we tend to worry alot, some of U a little bit. Whatever measures it is, it is still worrying. The Bible says in Mt 6:25 "Do not worry about 2morrow....". By worrying will not help U in anyway, why not follow what the Bibles says and Let God take care of your Cares...etc. Also, from the above scenario, it is very obvious that this person Nitwit has focus on the wrong thing. He's been focusing on his grey hair. I remember one of Ps prince message about Focusing right, ie, Put Our Focus on Jesus, Focus on His Finished Work, Focus on us being Righteous becos of what Christ had done on d Cross. God's ways are so simple but alot of times, we tends to help Him which is very unnecessary or rather redundant. U may not like to hear dis, many a times, we like to act "smart" but it was juz another "foolish" act...Selah =]

p.s. whatever reflected above is of my personal thought, not against anyone.

The New

2006-08-14T10:13:00.000+08:00

Because 旧的不去,新的不可以进. Those old and broken toys stayed at the corner and under the table for a nong nong time already. Thanks dad for clearing it.

Common problem faced by all children.

Inspiring message by Ps Prince

2006-08-13T21:24:00.000+08:00

This is another message by Ps Prince.

God Uses The Weak To Confound The Mighty
1 Corinthians 1:27
But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty.

When you are looking desperately for powerful means to combat the big challenges that you are facing, you are not thinking the way God thinks.

The Bible tells us that it pleases God to use weak, foolish, base and despised things of the world to bring to nothing things which are mighty.

“What is that in your hand?” God asked.
“A rod,” Moses said. And with that rod, he performed miracles and confounded the might of Pharaoh.

“Five loaves and two fish,” a little boy said. And with that little boy’s lunch, Jesus fed 5,000 men besides the women and children, and his disciples gathered 12 basketfuls of leftovers.

“The jawbone of an ass,” Samson said. And with that, he slew a thousand Philistines, who were the enemies of God’s people

“Five stones and a sling,” said David the shepherd boy. And with one of his stones and the sling, he brought down Goliath, the mighty Philistine champion dressed in full armour.
At a recent conference for Hokkien-speaking pastors, Pastor Mark, our Hokkien service pastor, realised how his Hokkien pales in comparison to the refined and flawless Hokkien spoken by the other pastors there. Yet, it pleases God to use Pastor Mark’s kopi-tiam (coffeeshop) Hokkien to lead many dialect-speaking folks, especially the elderly, to Christ.

Many of these elderly folks are testifying that for the first time in their lives, they are set free completely from fears of debilitating diseases, loneliness, deep-rooted superstitions, generational curses, the dreaded old age and even death. And the Hokkien service, which has experienced rapid growth, now has more than 1,000 worshippers on a regular Sunday!
But this pastor knows that the many blessings and miracles he is seeing in his ministry happen because it has pleased God to use a weak vessel like him to bring down strongholds and set precious lives free!

His message once again encourages me. I'm believing God for my parents, my brother & sis-in-law salvation. We have done our part by bring them to evangelistic meeting before, so the rest of the job will leave to God to fulfill. Miracles does happen and is still happening. His Grace is Fresh Everyday. Amen!

Clearing Out

2006-08-13T15:16:00.000+08:00

The day b4, I lose my Cool. I vented my anger on my "pitiful" husband when he comes home. Too bad, he ask questions at d wrong timing lah. It all happens probably on dat day noon time, I'm trying 2 make Matt 2 sleep. He frustrate his anger by Screaming n Shouting. Oh boy, it was really very loud n sounded very fierce. Abi happens 2 call me n heard him screamin n shouting. Sometimes I juz dun understand why he behave dat way. He always wants his ways. He got his own ways of doing things and wants 2 be independent 2 do things (He dun like ppl 2 help him). Sigh... many times, I really dun know how 2 handles him and I'll juz sit back n relax (n pray 2 God). My 2 other kids was so..... easy (from birth till now) and dis boy is really a "challenge". Well, I juz hv 2 see things in different angle, it's after all a process of growing up where everyone of us hv 2 experience and go thru. I believe for d better of him n God Is more than able 2 mould n tone him...Amen!

Probably we able 2 win becos we have a theme, ie, mole on our face, scarf on our hair, big chunky earrings, big loud necklaces, big belt and most of all, d colourful n striking socks with our high heels.

btw, Matt saw my pic and he thought that's my sister...Hahaha...

home alone

2006-07-29T15:09:00.000+08:00

Mum's not at home today's afternoon, she went to children church's get-together. I am at home with dad, sister and little brother. Mum cook some simple soup to go with macoroni before she left. Here's some photos i took. how? can pass?

I will follow you ....

2006-07-28T13:25:00.000+08:00

For those who cannot view my Yahoo!360° blog. here's the story ......

Matthias cry when I ( or even Cynthia or grandparents) leave the house. At this age, he will try to follow you everywhere, even into the bathroom. Haha ….

When I reach home, he will start following me; I go up to the bedroom, he follows and I go to toilet, he follows. (I will follow you (follow you) Follow you wherever you may go (uuuu) ……….There isn't an ocean too deep Or mountain so high it can keep Keep us away ) . Sometimes it feels like you have no privacy; you have a "super glue baby" clinging to your leg. But it is a good sign that your baby's brain can now remember images that are not in view. Before that was like "out of sight, out of mind"; now he can remember that you are out of sight and he misses you.

Last nite, I bought Carlin to tuition. As usual, to prevent him from seeing us leave the house, we have to play either 1) ‘hide and seek’ game, or 2) blocking game, once the wall is formed, I leopard crawl out …. ( army training is very useful) . If not hor … I tell u …there will be Rama Drama again. Cry until jia lat jia lat kind.

When I was out and on the way, my wife SMs me saying that he was searching for me and then suddenly shoot one question, ‘where is pa pa?’ . This is thrilling becos he haven’t start talking in sentences yet. Hmmm ....! he is so adorable.

swimming part 2

2006-07-27T13:55:00.000+08:00

Aloysius say that Uncle Charles is good and he doesn’t want to go to Sunday swimming lesson liao. Why I ask ? ( 奇怪 ) . ‘The coach always scold people one’. Well, is it true as I observed after so many weeks. The coach is not the patient type. Carlin also kena a few times and cried. Once I ask Carlin ‘do u enjoy the Swim lesson?’ “No”, same reason.

Ok, back to finding swim coach. ( Sometimes I think I want to be a coach myself…wonder is it easy to get a cert or not. ). Few days later, Charles called me and say he decided to stop the lesson with his existing students and wanted to teach Aloysius and Carlin ( plus one more ) . PTL …. It is done! Coach found! Next month they will start learning from Coach Charles.

swimming Part 1

2006-07-26T13:36:00.000+08:00

The kids, Aloysius and Carlin, has been learning swimming from this coach since April. Recently, I found out that theirs’ stroke is not perfect. Especially Carlin, she seem like moving very ss..low ss…low in the water.

Every week, I will accompany them to the pool and when they swim I usually just relak one korner and do my own things like reading, listen to mp3 or suntan. At first, I thought maybe she don’t have enough strength to kick or what. Later I found out that she is actually not kicking correctly. I thought better change the coach, coach like boh chap bo hew la, week in week out still the same.

Called some school to enquiry but still cannot find one with right timing. Look high and low ….. finally….feel like calling Charles. First thought is to call him to correct their stroke only as he is quite busy with work and presently coaching 3 children. The trial first lesson was good and the kids enjoy it. He managed to correct the stroke for both of them.

( Still havn’t find the right coach yet …. )

Quite recently, my oldest son Aloysius asked me a question :-

Aloy : Mom, when is Jesus coming?
Me : Soon
Aloy : When exactly?
Me : Very soon, exact date I dun know
Aloy : So, when Jesus come, what will happen to 'gong gong' and 'mah mah'?
Me : They will be in hell becos they dun hv Jesus yet
Aloy : So sad...I want to see them in Heaven
Me : Yes, me too. Why dun you ask them to go church
Aloy : Aiyah, mommy you ask lah
Me : I asked many times already, but they refused
Aloy : ....(so sad face, almost gg 2 cry)...
Me : ok, we pray 2 Jesus and let Jesus take care of them, ok.
Aloy : ok

Early dis morning (abt 6am), it was so hot that I woke up and then cannot get to sleep. Then, dis incident brought back to my mind and I was asking myself, How 2 get my parents saved??? Looking back, I've tried bringing them 2 evangelistic meetings, invited them 2 church... But no progress. (Sigh!)

Around 9+ in d morning, I read thru' d devotion page by NCC and 2 my surprise, God is speaking 2 me. He is so.......good, he listen 2 our cry, our heart. God's word says in Acts 16:31, "So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” When God got you saved, He didn’t just have you in mind — He had your whole family in mind!

Wow, I'm full of joy upon receiving d reminder from HIM. HE is my TOTAL assurance. And once again, I juz got to relax n relax n let HIM do the job. Salvation is on its way.... Hallelujah! PTL! All glory For JESUS!

My hobby

2006-07-20T21:34:00.000+08:00

I love to draw. This is a picture I draw and my mother loves it very much. She paste my picture on the wall. I love to watch blue's clue so I draw blue and the house. My mother teaches me to high-light the picture wif black colour pencil. it makes the picture nicer. Is it nice?

Little Boy wif big imagination

2006-07-20T12:58:00.000+08:00

See dis yellow round thing. It's Matt toy golf set.

Juz now he was telling me ... "Ng Ng" "Ng Ng"

I still dun get it until he do this.... (see nxt pic)

He put his toy giraffe on his yellow toy and say "Ng Ng"

Hahaha....LOL.... I cannot tahan but juz laugh and laugh...

Isn't he so adorable?

BTW, he uses the kids toilet seat to do his "business"

Boy new specs

2006-07-19T14:51:00.000+08:00

Yes. Aloysius has juz got a pair of spectacles...sigh. On 16 Jul '06, he collected his new specs and starts to wear it on Mon 17. It's never a mother wish for my kids to wear specs at such a young age. For me, I only started wearing specs during my poly days, abt 18 yrs old. Now adays, kids r exposed to computer, TV, GB, TV games, etc... unlike our times, to hv a TV at home is a bonus. Even if we can watch, it is like 1-2 hrs per day at the most. The new generations kids r juz too....bless wif advance technology. The olden days, we played alot of "traditional" games like "5 stones, chatek, skipping, beh long, etc" and we stayed in Kampong wif lots of fresh air, trees all around. Now, I believe that his eyesight will improve (A friend told me dat his kid eyesight improve aft Believing God's word). I know it will apply to his too (Now, control him on his playing time over d computer n GB). All Glory to God!

Tribute to my grandma

2006-07-17T09:33:00.000+08:00

Browsing through my computer’s folder, I came across this photos of my grandma with my sons. It was taken on her Birthday last year. In fact, this is the last photos taken before she passed on, 6 July 2005, to be with the Lord.

I don’t know she was a believer until I saw that it was a Christian wake that day I went down. Later I found out that it was my big Uncle’s wife that brought her to church. PTL.

I don’t really know all the facts about her but only knows she was a strong woman. After grandpa passed away ( when mom was very young ), she single handed took care and raised 6 children (include my mom). She was very fierce too ….accordingly to my mom..

All of us were taken care by her when we were young. She would call us to do house-hold chores and then reward us with $$. Big sitting room, I think is 50 cents , small room 20 cents, wash toilet 10 cents etc .. I always lost to my brother and cousins one, only kena the small room …haha.

Her last wish is to see all her children come to know the Lord. Amen grandma !!

婆婆, 我们天国见.

Concert 14-Jul-2006

2006-07-15T10:30:00.000+08:00

Yesterday is our Pri 1 concert. My class 1Diligent together with class 1 Excellent, we put up a sketch "The Billy Goats Gruff". My mom and my brother Matthias went to watch me perform.

Can you guess which one is Me?

I am the Butterfly. Did you guess it correctly?

I enjoyed acting but I am still scared. My mom says the more I go onstage, the more I will overcome my fear to face people. I think I will listen to my mom.

Here are some more pictures taken by my mom. She actually went backstage just to take pictures of me and my friends. (She is the only parent doing it. She ask my teacher permission to take pictures)

The boy in white is JunWai, he is my classmate, he is the shortest in class followed by Me. HeeHee.... The main lead is Jordon who acted as a Troll, the one who wear black with messy hair and 大花脸. The three goats are from my class. The two narrators are also from my class. The one in white is also my ex-classmate from K2 Shalom Kidergarten. He can remembers his lines very well and don't have to see the script. I wish the school will have concert again next year so I can join again.

IndEpeNdenT MaTthiAs

2006-07-14T11:48:00.000+08:00

Y'day, Matt brought 2 me a pkt of strawberry milk n ask me 2 open 4 him. I refuse n make formula milk 4 him instead. He make a lot of noise abt it, but I insisted. After d big "hu ha", he hv no choice cos mom says "no" n he put back d pkt of milk to d cabinet. It comforts me 2 see him so independent but there r times where dis "independent behavior" can drive me up d wall. Whatever it is, I'm juz gg 2 commit dis special child into d Lord's hand.

The blessing is ON YOU!

2006-07-12T14:33:00.000+08:00

L ast night I learnt from CG that when you are Right with God, your circumstances that are not right will turn out right! Wow ……..ho say!
God has Set me on high, I’m seated with Christ in the heavenly places. So all I need to do is just focus on the finished work of Christ and see God’s grace towards me.

So whether soon soon or not soon(constipation) , when u seated on the throne just command it to come forth…. Muhahaha.

Japan English Class

2006-07-07T10:42:00.000+08:00

I think this is a game or what. These gp of Japanese students are told not to laugh, as they watch an instructional video on English, otherwise they get smacked on the butt. Make sure you know how to counts to 100...LOL.

cannot tahan this ... ROFL.

由始至终...Believing

2006-07-06T14:02:00.000+08:00

The just shall live by faith (Rm 1:17)....That's how Ps Mark started off his preaching on last Sunday. I enjoyed the message very much. He's so c0mical, and real. I like this part he said "When U r at peace wif God, even ur enemies will be at Peace wif U as God will turn EVERYTHING, d whole situation around 4 U". OH man, isn't God Good. I juz love Jesus !

On d CROSS, HE can righteously bless Us, we dun have to ask God but we have Authority over everything and every situation. Amen! Ooooo....How not to fall in Love wif Him...

Here a chinese song which reflect my feelings....He's My Peace, My Comfort, My Healer, He bore my sins, my pains, my stress, my disappointment....HE TOUCH MY HEART!

深触我心
耶稣诚然担当我们的优患背负我们痛苦
耶稣为我们的过犯受害为我们的罪孽压伤
因你受的刑罚我们得平安
因你受的鞭伤我们得医治完全得医治
* 感谢耶稣我的救主我得平安我得医治
我的耶稣爱我的主你的恩典深触我心

WoRds of Encouragement

2006-07-05T16:03:00.000+08:00

Eversince I started receiving the daily devotion from NCC, I'm very encouraged by Ps Prince message. Constantly, it reminds me of d CROSS, wat Jesus has done, d finished Work. Each day, we have different experience, whether it's wif the kids, ur spouse, friends, or even our parents, one thing I'm able to remain stress free is becos of JESUS. He gives me d strength and HIS Words r medicine 2 me. I've learnt to de-stress by soaking myself in HIS Words...Meditate on it.

I've my anger still, lazy, will speak my mind as usual, sometimes can be very very direct. I'm still learning and for me, it's a process that I've to go thru' and I believe God will mould and shape me to be a better person. I've so much to say but I'm juz lost for words and have very limited vocab too.Maybe will post more of my feelings and views in future post.

Afternoon Service

2006-07-05T13:41:00.000+08:00

Morning I was conducting a workshop in my company. Half way through, a colleague walked out to make some phone call. I kind of pause the workshop to wait for him, after a while he walked back to the room. I told him “it’s ok to attend to more important things”, I say jokingly… “ if u miss the morning one, u can always come back again for the afternoon service.” In state of saying workshop or training , I say ‘service’. You know what?? everyone in the room start L(ing)OL , ( may be some ROFL(ing)). Somebody say “Hallelujah”, (Lift up hand some more), some say “Aman Aman !!! ”. ( most of them non-believer la ). Feel the love coming…. Cannot tahan them… ( jerk jerk) I love my colleagues.

Ok got to go for the afternoon ‘service’ liao.

说话

2006-07-04T15:27:00.000+08:00

Time really flies. Matt is 23mths gg 24 mths in August. He is a smart boy. In terms of speech, he is slower. I know people are concern but I'm not at all worried. To me, he is showing some progress. I believe he is juz like his older brother and sister. They register words in their brain and then one fine day... sentences will juz shoot out from their mouth. As far as I'm concern, he can call us (PaPa, Me, Gong gong, ....). When he wants milk, he will say "nan nan", "我要", "Yes". Most impt is that he understands what we say. Above all, we trust God for his progress in all areas. "Let Go and Let God" --- It works always as God never fails us.

This is a pic of Me and my PaPa

I am enjoying the water

2006-07-03T10:43:00.000+08:00

I am afraid of water, can’t really remember where it started. When I go swimming, I mean play water, I never let my head go into the water and my hair is always dry…. LOL. What causes the fear of water? Maybe once I was almost drown? 3 mths ago during the school holiday, we went together with the Ghes’ to downtown east chalet to stay. During one of the swimming, they decided to take some underwater photos. They drag me along ….. But as u can see in the photo, I am the only one above the water .. wahaha. But since I started my swimming lesson in April, I am now different. Also thanks my dad and mum for the encouragements. ( my dad never failed to give me the thumb up sign whenever I look at him).

3 mths later ....

ReSorT + SwiMmiNg

2006-07-01T15:46:00.000+08:00

We've been talking abt d Animal resort recently. Today, we finally bring our kids together wif Lee's and Wong's. Our kids were excited.

We meet in d morning to have our Breakfast at the famous Jalan Kayu Roti Prata, then proceed to d animal resort. The kids get to feed the rabbits, goose, tortoise....etc....Little Matt initially was scared of d rabbit (his 1st time seeing it) but later was ok wif it. When we see d Woodstock, we laughed as we remembered JOSH encounter wif it. Poor chap! (woodstock, I mean) all alone to itself while d rest of d animals have company.

After d resort, we proceed to Ada's condo for a swim. The pool was nice and windy. We have a good time of fellowship. The kids enjoyed the most playing wif each other. We have such good times to enjoy together as a family. It's good to unwind n relax. Praise God for everything.

2006-06-30T21:47:00.000+08:00

After sending my kids to school, I took a bus to T/Mall n Century Sq. I juz intented to buy a little gift for little abigail 4 her bday, met up with my sis Abi and we go around looking for d gift. Both of us end-up shopping for clothes and shoes. Dis is the very 1st time I bought the most in my life (at least till now).....3 pairs of shoes, 1 handbag, 4 blouses, 1 cardigan, 1 pants, 1 skirt and 1 belt. WOW! Never bought so many things in one go...within 3 hrs. SO....Shiok...BUT later feel abit guilty and then I boarded the wrong bus. Hahaha...Juz hv to alight at d next stop and walk back to the bus interchange to board the correct bus...Too satisfied and contented until I blurr blurr lah! I think for the next 2 months, got to Ban myself from buying. =)

MP3 player

2006-06-29T20:41:00.000+08:00

Recently, whether going 4 check-ups, or waiting for my kids while they r having tuition, there will be an hour or so kind of WAIT... I'll like to listen to songs. We've only 1 MP3 and everyday, Johnson will bring it along to work. So, when I needed it, I'll drive to his work place and take from him. I didn't verbally ask our Father above for 1 but in my heart, I juz think how nice if I have 1.

Praise the Lord! Although no words utter, God knows our heart. He knows wat we r thinking, wat is our desire, wat we long for. He lives in our heart. Thank God we have such privilege. Juz now, my dear came back wif 1 MP3 player. It's given to him FREE. We are so...... Bless!!! Amen!

Total Recall...

2006-06-29T14:10:00.000+08:00

While sitting dwn...doing nothing except enjoying my ice kacang...WOW! It's been 20 "nong" years...Counting backwards, I met my "ang" during my Poly years (Back in 1986). At dat time both still schooling lah, only started "park tor" in 1990, got married in Oct 1993. For 13yrs living under one roof...sometimes I wonder how he can 'tahan' my mood swing.

Back in my school days, I'm well-known for my loud laughter, cheerful, sometimes abit "xiao" and occasionally very quiet and emotional. He is different. To me, he is cool, calm, very rational and a very true person. I admired him during my Polys days alot + a handful of other sisters(at dat time he not aware) He is always so positive in words n thoughts.

Thinking abt all dis, I'm thankful to God for bringing him 2 my life. To care for me, provide for our family and 4ever so patient 2wards all of US. Thank You Dear Jesus and thank u dear!
