27oct

Lately, I admitted myself is not a good friend to my friends. Keeping my friends in my heart, thinking and even dreaming about them, but I seldom move extra miles to keep connected with the friends. See friends gathering photos in Facebook, how young and old people having memorable moments with their friends, relatives, colleagues.. then I feel ashamed.

This morning I came across an awareness video on 7/10 women are under pressure to be a 'perfect woman'. #LetGo touched my heart. Recently, I am in the full schedule of visiting different office teams and bases for work requirement. Office to-do list is getting longer. When I met some of the colleagues who were closed to me last time, I was not spending much time to have a good chat with them, then I feel guilty about it. Am I trapped in the never-ending work commitment? Or I am just not maximising my time for better time management?

Last weekend, we went for an ex-colleague baby full moon party. I felt excited about it. Got my children to dress up and we happily travel to the restaurant for the gathering.



Enjoyed the buffet in the easy environment


Lately, this type of 3D jelly cake is very famous


If I were to have another baby, i got the idea to deco and organise the full moon party to my taste :p



Like the small compartments concept to keep children occupied when adults chit chatting at the round table


Balloons are for all ages :D

Even it was a short gathering to meet up with ex colleague and some of my Laogong business partners, we enjoyed the outing. Hope I can well manage my time for more weekend activities eg connection buildings apart from children weekend classes, church services, weekly marketing, and kitchen.











End the post with 'show me your hand' photos :D


Happy Tuesday!

20102015

Now is..


I am tired but I keep myself staying online to explore to a country, where I don't know much about this country and her culture. The world is big. Lately I have a thought, if I could bring children along to different countries to earn a living, won't this lifestyle be nice? It might be yes or might be wrong.

Yesterday one of our colleagues passed away. Reason being is still a mystery. When colleague exchanging messaging me about this man was in icu.. While asking the reason why.. Suddenly I got this 'OMG he just passed away" I was blank when this message popping up on the screen while I was typing the message.. Life is so unpredictable.

Children are with grandparents. Laogong and I in the room. The prayer of the boy before bed time floating on my mind for the all day long, "Lord, let papa brings us to the heaven altogether" I believe, what he was praying for is 'help us all staying in the kingdom of God in our everlasting life' :)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
神爱世人,甚至将他的独生子赐给他们,叫一切信他的不致灭亡,反得永生。

Good night. I shall sleep now. Shall stop thinking. Too many things are in my mind now. Many destinations and plans.

Light in the dark


I see trees of green,
red roses too.
I see them bloom,
for me and you.
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue,
And clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands.
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying,
"I love you".

I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more,
Than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Oh yeah.


This song has been playing in my mind since I opened wide my eyes this morning. Been waiting for a blue sky and white clouds, but the hazy situation been spreading across the country and children got 2day off from school. Many towns are in unhealthy and even reaching hazardous psi level. When we realise one thing, the sky is always in clear blue, but between us and the sky, there are things blocking us from seeing the beauty. Till now, this seasonal hazy condition is yet to come to a effective permanent solution.

Is there a hazy condition in our life too? Which the situation causing us don't see the bright blue sky and the light of the light? How we overcomes this challenging situation? We might be asking why? Why me? Why this tragedy?

Last Saturday, my family went for a movie showing on the story of a spiritual giant - Christiana Tsai. After her effort of making foot steps to most of the district of China and US to spread the gospel of God, one day, she got malaria which caused her cant be able to walk and got sensitive to light.



Then, she became the Queen of the dark chamber. She stayed in the dark with very light soothing brightness in her room, she started her missionaries from the room for about 50 years. Got to hear her speaking on 'for all these challenges I have been into for so many years, I don't ever ask God why? Instead, everyday when I start my day, I ask God, what do you want me to do for today?'
不问为什么,而问,主啊,我能为祢做什么?

This is not an easy attitude. When tragedy happened, we would wonder if our prayer being heard? Why me? Why this? How much confidence we needed to accept the tragedy and to turn it to the blessing of God, then to thank God by asking asking what can I do for you? From the testimony, the people who been to the dark room, saying, although we were in the room of darkness, but we feel warm and we 'see' the brightness and light!


Bought the book on the motivation and inspiration of this queen of the dark chamber. I asked angel, shall we get a English version or Chinese version copy of the book? 'Let's get a Chinese version, I want to read it and understand her story' :) she went to the booth and patiently waited for her turn to grab this inspiring book.

The story touched my heart. The sharing after the movie showing reminded me, the value of things is depending on the thing is with whose hands. The basketball in my hand might caused only few dollars, but its value is much higher in Jeremy Lin's hands. We might think our value is penniless, but if we put our life in God's hand, the value of our life is with eternal precious value.

When the pastor asked "from today onwards, among all of you, who are willing for not asking why God give you challenges, but instead asking God, what you want me to do?" I had raised up my hand. I know it is not an easy commitment I have made, but I know, God is my strength and he has plan for me.

I reminded my children, no matter you are in which situation, do remember, there is God's will on you, we might not know why is it for, one day, you will get to answer. God won't give you the challenge and pain which cannot bear by you.

Another thing for the night was, my angel asked me to wait when I was about to handover the offering envelop for the movie session. From her small Dora's sling bag, she took out few ringgit and put in the envelop. I saw light in her gesture :)


约翰福音 8:12 耶稣又对众人说:“我是世界的光。跟从我的,就不在黑暗里走,必要得着生命的光。”
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."


Darkness cannot prevail darkness, only light can prevail darkness.
黑暗不能战胜黑暗
唯有光可以战胜黑暗

The Good News

你听过“人生的好消息”吗?
Have you heard about 'the good news of 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。
"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 10:10
盗贼来,无非要偷窃、杀害、毁坏;我来了,是要叫羊(或作“人”)得生命,并且得的更丰盛。
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

罗马书 3:23
因为世人都犯了罪,亏缺了 神的荣耀,
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,


罗马书 6:23
因为罪的工价乃是死;惟有 神的恩赐,在我们的主基督耶稣里,乃是永生。
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

罗马书 5:8
惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死, 神的爱就在此向我们显明了。
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

哥林多前书 15:3-6
我当日所领受又传给你们的,第一,就是基督照圣经所说,为我们的罪死了,而且埋葬了,又照圣经所说,第三天复活了,并且显给矶法看,然后显给十二使徒看,后来一时显给五百多弟兄看,其中一大半到如今还在,却也有已经睡了的。
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.



约翰福音 14:6
耶稣说:“我就是道路、真理、生命,若不藉着我,没有人能到父那里去。
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

约翰福音 1:12
凡接待他的,就是信他名的人,他就赐他们权柄,作 神的儿女。
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--

以弗所书 2:8
你们得救是本乎恩,也因着信。这并不是出于自己,乃是 神所赐的;
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--

启示录 3:20
看哪,我站在门外叩门,若有听见我声音就开门的,我要进到他那里去,我与他,他与我,一同坐席。
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

Oct

Good morning~ changed my phone wall paper to October theme


Yo! October babies~ they have sepet eyes and wide mouth :D and they got my love from day1 since 10 years ago ^^


Last night the boy shared with me his little token of love to his classmates. He prepared handmade key chains for his favourite teachers too.

Boy: mummy, teacher seemed like blaming me on this.

Mummy: why is it so?

Boy: teacher said that normally birthday boy got presents from friends, not giving out presents.

Mummy: :) teacher surprised with your lovely gesture, as you know it is more blessed to give than to receive.


I prepared 1 sticker book for him too. With the message of
Strive for excellence
God loves you


So I got the birthday cake and present ready after my work. The cake got slight slipped when I reached home >< the cake was 1/3 out from it holding plate, the strawberry dropped, the choc deco misplaced and melted..


Got the cake a quick fix before I managed to put it in the freezer. Sweating me and 'sweating' cake. Very yummy chocolate fudge.


Children are blessed with great grandparents ^^ my mummy came for the birthday celebration with lots of yummy foods and eggs!


10 years old. I been telling my children, in your entire life, how many 10 years you gonna have? Please do something for your each 10 years so you don't regret when you look back your every 10 years.

Special request from the boy, can I cut the cake pieces for everyone? It was a little bit messy, but the boy was paying extra careful^^
In the morning of the birthday, the boy asked 'mummy, what have you prepared for me?' I was blank for what to buy for the boy. 10 year old big boy, my colleague suggested toy gun or iPad. Hmm toy gun is dangerous at my house, as we have 3 little sisters gonna becoming victims @_@ grandpa talking about iPad for the boy too, am still preferring my children hands on something with their both hands and not with only 1-2 fingers.

Thought of blocks. Lego was in my mind when I was heading to the mall.


These are interesting..


Finally I got this - build 6 stuff with the components and fix with solar powered battery and get your creation move! They have hydro and movement powered motor too, many things you can do in the series. What I bought is the elementary level set :)


The boy looked at the wrapped present box, 'wah a cross on the box, how did the salesgirl know I am Christian?' Haha anyway, I would like to praise the gift shop girl who helped me to wrap the present. I went in the shop to buy the wrapper, then she asked if I needed help to wrap the present. Service charge is rm3. The girl was so focused on wrapping the present, impressed with her service. Slow and steady and creative style. Big LIKE for her.


As mentioned, many eggs last night. Black and red eggs :p


Door gift time!

10 year old. And it marks 10th anniversary I have been in motherhood.


Blessed with 3 lovely children and thank to their love and patience towards me, mummy who has been in the journey learning to be a better mum ^^
