Tomorrow

I played 2 songs in car on the journey to the school. 'I know who holds tomorrow' - Chinese and English versions. Then I started the in-car topic..

Last year, when we talked about travelling to Lembing hill and river, with all the challenges ahead, would you feel worried?


We need 4 wheel drive car to bring us cross the bumpy road, we need to cross the river by holding he rope..


We need to climb up hill with full of stones and rocks.. You might fall dawn, you might don't know what gonna heading ahead..


But you just followed. You just go ahead and kept moving forward to the peak and we saw the beautiful waterfall and rainbow. Why didn't you say 'no' to the trip after all the difficulties and stories shared? You might hurt yourself, you might stop at the half way and didn't know how to move forward..

All this because, you know papa and mama are with you. You know papa and mama would definitely hold your hands and walk with you. When you fall down, you know who to look for, you know papa and mama gonna leading the way up to the hill or down to the stream. You know, and you are surely confidence, papa and mama won't let go you..

Same like tomorrow. We don't know how our tomorrow would be. We might not seems to understand, we might be feeling worried what gonna lay before the journey. Shall we keep moving or we just stopped at today? No, we keep moving, we welcome tomorrow, coz we know who holds the future. Who knows how to handle us and bring us to concur all the difficulties.


God holds tomorrow. God's hand raise us up. So keeping faith, and we welcome our future. If God is not allowed a single marrow to fall down, then no one would.



Why there is always 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen in the air composition? Why the distance between the sun and the earth is always just nice - not too closed to burn us out, not too far to let us feeling super cool. Why the turning of the earth is a day, not 28 hours for yesterday and 13 hours for today? Why a year is a year?

Must be someone who designs and controls all these. Then who? If even the person was having 1000 years of life, then how about the remaining years?

Bbb: 'ya, we are now year 2015, we can at least living or 2000 years?'

Our God holds the past, today, and future. And this won't be changed. Let's move on to tomorrow, as we are closer to our God day by day.

Children and I go to the school and to the office - with hope and tomorrow :)

Happy Monday!

2205 Friday

Good morning Friday!

Can't wait for this weekend. Feel to be with children day and night, want to try new recipe with air fryer. Bought a easy step by step recipe book for cooking dishes with air fryer, I asked my children to pick up 1 recipe each, I will buy all ingredients then they learn to cook. Hoping one day, each of them can master few dishes, so children can prepare meals at home when I am away.



Dinner cooked by the men in my house. Am still missing this meal, how a warm homecook meal to fill up an empty stomach after a tiring trip back home from work. When I was stuck in the traffic jam, the boy called me up..

Boy: mummy, where are you right now?
Mummy: still stuck at xxx, not even reaching yyy
Boy: then we eat the dinner 1st
Mummy: Ya, go ahead and eat 1st, save a small portion for me is enough

Love and care from family members made me feel loved ^^ and caused me eating heavy dinner :p

But still.. After children sleeping, sis and I went out for dessert ^0^
I got myself hot black sesame soup, and sis got herself icy dessert with durian. The durian ice cream smells nice!


I like these photos :) we called up my mum and asked her a question..

Sis: mummy, would you care to being naked and be in the hot spring with sis in law?

Mummy: if you dare to have it, then me too will do it

Sis: am not hahhaha :D

So, we are still not used to do that in front of people we know. Still remember for the 1st time in the Korea public hot spring, we dare not to be in the pool just bcoz we and those aunties knowing each other.

Our 1st time being naked in the public pool was in taiwan, where sis and I took bath in the public room hmm 30 min before the operating hours which hoping not many people left in the room hahaha :D

Beginning of this year, when we were in Nagoya trip, mum, sis and I were sitting nakedly and taking bath together, the experience is nice :) but if we would want to have sis in law along.. Hahhaha the answer was no no from sis and mum. Or I guess, sis in law dont want to keke

Happy Friday!

520

Just dropping by my sis blog.. And I ponder this..

"人生就是这样,年老的走了,新生命就诞生,就这样循环循环的,你能控制不生育,但你能阻止死亡吗?"
"...You can have birth control, but can you stop the death?"


Yes we can't stop our death. Once it is the time, then we gonna lose the last breath. However, Christian believe that - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

约翰福音 3:16
神爱世人,甚至将他的独生子赐给他们,叫一切信他的,不至灭亡,反得永生。




Eternal life - our lives build forever relationship with God's life. The physical body can be dead, but our spirit gonna have the everlasting life.



Today is 520. It sounded as 'I love you' in mandarin - wo ai ni. Seen many lovely couples photos in Facebook. Hmm when was the last time I took sweet sweet photo with laogong har? Well, let's practise this.. A woman shall love herself 1st so her children and husband will love her more (konon la) keke..



Ya, love myself efforts..

Action 1 - bought 3 books today. Book price increased..

Action 2 - bought myself coconut shake after my heavy lunch meal of teppanyaki chicken + rice and 7 colour beans soup :D

Action 3 - applied leave for my upcoming travel trip

Action 4 - got myself involved in charity booth at the church


Charity drive to gather cash for the orphanage houses


Blissful to have the 'me' time to handmade some stuff I like to. Been thinking to do Christian handmade stuff for selling and sharing, recent years I got chances to do so :) sharing God's love to others


Young gals like these key chains


Baby girls like the colourful wooden beads necklace and bracelet ^^

Continue to be a good girl and to love and be loved :* happy 520!

Who holds tomorrow

As any ordinary school day, I send children to the school and lecturing in the car. I shared with them how important it is to have your self discipline to manage your own daily life. How the earth having the orbital revolution, how the traffic lights functioning in right order, the steps we want to fry a fish.. All are need to be in own sequence so we won't mess our lives upside down. 'How shall you focus on your university assignment while you need to figure out how to live your day without people helping?'


8:41am Blog typing paused..when I listening to this..



Without staging and make up, the vocal touched my heart..

Every step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb;
Every burden's getting lighter,
Every cloud is silver-lined.
There the sun is always shining,
There no tear will dim the eye;
At the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains touch the sky.


Played the cd which I got from the church, a sermon on parents day service few years ago with titled - who holds tomorrow'. It started with a mother and a 8 years old daughter sharing their testimony on God's miracle. I started tearing when the mum started her sharing..

At the daughter age of 4, she got this rare sickness, Severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a disease in which the bone marrow does not make enough blood cells for the body. Aplastic anemia is rare and occurs more frequently in eastern Asia countries. The story told about how the battle the difficult situation which, from white blood count of 4, which normal children got 100+ till she got 300+ white blood cells to fight for the body. How the family crying and singing with Christmas carol in the Christmas Eve, when everyone thought that would be the last Christmas to the girl. How the church fasting and praying for the girl when doctor decided to stop all medication to avoid more worse side effect... One day after so many months, the girl's marrow started to function, then fully cured which, the doctor admitted the God's miracle.

I was non stop tearing while listening to the testimony. As a mother, we know how the mother felt when it seemed no way to help and save the beloved daughter. How the joyous when the daughter has been healed by their faith by turning their eyes to the almighty. How happy it is when they started counting the birthday the can celebrate with the daughter in her new given life. The tears of happiness and appreciation.

The climax of my sentimental and dramatic sobbing session was, when the sharing session with the girl singing this..

我不知明天的道路,每一天只为主活,
我不借明天的太阳,因明天或许阴暗,
我不要为将来忧虑,因为我信主的应许,
我今天要与主同行,因他知前面如何。

我不知明天的道路,或遭遇生活苦楚,
但那位养活麻雀者,他必然也看顾我,
他是我旅途的良伴,或经过水火之灾,
但救主必与我同在,他宝血把我遮盖。

有许多未来的事情,我现在不能识透,
但我知谁掌管明天,我也知谁牵我手。


I don't know about tomorrow;
I just live from day to day.
I don't borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to grey.
I don't worry o'er the future,
For I know what Jesus said.
And today I'll walk beside Him,
For He knows what lies ahead.

I don't know about tomorrow;
It may bring me poverty.
But the one who feeds the sparrow,
Is the one who stands by me.
And the path that is my portion
May be through the flame or flood;
But His presence goes before me
And I'm covered with His blood.

Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.


How we take thing for granted? How we not treasure the moments when we are bonding with children and the blessing to have them? How we think of our own wants and needs and neglect children love demands from us? Hmm something to ponder.. When our children are staying healthy with us, we shall spend time with them. This is not sacrifices, as we get the love and fullness from our lovely angels in return.

Lovely month

Come to the month of May, we see flowers, cakes, family photos on Mother's Day. Schools having art works and celebration for parents-children bonding activities. Parenting talks everywhere.


However, we hope that we love and care our parents are not only on these special days. Reminded myself on this too. Heard that my colleague's dad passed away this morning, heard that my another colleague's mother passed away after few months of cancer battling.. We don't know when would be our time to lose our parents, to love our parents has to be now.



How was my 2015 Mother's Day celebration? This year I got simple celebration with heart fully filled with love and blessing :)



Short trip to subway pyramid with mum on Sunday morning for nice food marathon ^^ then went back hometown for seafood yum yum :D


Sunday night we got eldest brother and sis in law came to our house for satay + ketupat + opera almond coffee chocolate cake cutting + happy chit chatting :)

For my own family, I got sushi for dinner. Saw children happily eating sushi, I felt blessed for having laogong and children together. Heart filled with love. Tummy filled with delicious sushi. Body filled with fat! :p

Told laogong what I really wanted for Mother's Day gift was - baked Japanese sweet potatoes! Feel to eat sweet potatoes for weeks @_@

We see Mother's Day presents, lovely handmade cards from children to mothers. What I got from my children? To them, most of the special days are ordinary days >< sometime I feel my children a bit cold hearted @_@
Anyway, they have given me the precious gift for this special day.


Bbb joined the choir team for praise and worship on the parents day worship @church. They wake up early to get themselves prepared and I enjoyed seeing them do the last rehearsal before the service time.


Seeing Angels getting taller. Seeing children are more behaved on the stage. Seeing them serving God with their voices and singing. Seeing them committed to the weekly choir practises and Sunday school bible learning. What a blessing bliss I got as a mum of these 3 angels :)



My grandma just got stroke. For the 1st time it is near to me for having family member who need extra care for daily living life. This has in fact touched and disturbed my heart. I know there would time my parents and parents in law need our full standby care one day. Apart from preparing myself for the day, am also keep reminding myself to love family members by showing care to them..before we lose them one day.






Happiness is family bonding hours with no hesitation.

8may Friday

When we were talking about Chinese New Year celebration, then now we are in month of May. Mid year school exam and holiday coming soon.. Time passing so fast!

Just came back from east Coast business trip. Once I reached Kota bharu airport, to talk and understand the spoken language by the local people was a challenge initially. When the situation getting better, I managed to check with the airport taxi driver, which recommended island from local people and some useful travel tips ^0^



Travelling alone made me miss my sis. The journey is lonely and quiet too.


A big hotel deluxe room with king sized bed.. Without companion. I can own the 4 pillows, 2 big towels and being naked in the room and no one cares! :p



From kelantan kota bharu to kuala Terengganu then to pahang Kuantan for 3 days 2 nights. Saw beautiful blue sky and sea, but didn't have chance to go down for a summer breeze.


Got chance to see background unsung hero working at the roadside..


Visited few east Coast service centres. Listening to sales and service team sharing their experiences with subscribers.. We care about our customers.


Met the East coast offices colleagues.. Listen to their work challenges.


On the way back to Kuala Lumpur, we stopped by for red prawn durians. Feeling not so comfortable to enjoy durian with 5 men :p

Reached home, feeling exhausted. I told colleague, I feel refreshed when I come back from leisure travel trip, but for business trip, I have actually taken half day leave to free my mind and recharge my body.


My boy told me he couldn't sleep when I was away. So he hugged my doggie for the 2 nights. As well as my children complain no mummy, no alarm clock, and they were late to school. Hehe. I shall be feeling happy for this, children need me in whatever reason - even me as a walking alarm clock :p

Yesterday sis and I were talking half day leave for few hours body battery recharge. We went for full body massage. Well, I heard her snoring, she heard mine too, we were somehow too tired...

Grab a quick late lunch then we went to visit my grandma in the hospital. 80 years old grandma got stroke. Went to the hospital and comfort her. Been having a healthy body, somehow for this round, grandma couldn't accept she can't walk and move easily. Convinced her to discharge and rest comfortably at home. Again, reminded myself, take good care of body health.

This morning I told children, come wake up, today is Friday, you can rest well at home tomorrow. Yes, can't wait for weekend and holidays. I need time for my messy room and upcoming planned events.



My colleague checked this from Microsoft.. Well, I look like age 26. Hmm not so happy with this, let's try to work out something, then test it again haha in another few years time ;p

Till then, happy Friday!
