a Letter from Jesus

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated.

During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer. It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration.

Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration. I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates. The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts.

But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited.

I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an invitation.

The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face .. and I wanted to be with them and share their table. In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me. Since I wasn't invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner.

They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a grand time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying:

'Santa Claus, Santa Claus'

as if the party were in his honor!

At midnight all the people began to hug each other; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and do you know no-one hugged me.

Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me. What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one?

I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left. Every year it gets worse. People only remember the gifts, the parties, to eat and drink, and nobody remembers me.

I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life.
I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you.

Today, I only want that you believe this with all your heart. I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party
that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party. I'm still making the final arrangements..

Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book.

Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party.

Those who don't answer the invite, will be left outside. Be prepared because when all is ready you will be part of my great party.

See you soon. I Love you!

Jesus

Isaiah 60

19 The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.

20 Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end.

Trust in the Lord

I am bringing you to a new place.
Hold onto Me.
Along the way you may stumble,
but get up.
Don't withdraw,
but walk with Me.
Learn intimacy.
Enjoy the companionship.
I will not fail.
Lean closer to me,
so you might hear My direction.
I am bringing you to the point where only I matter.
There are opportunities each day to pour yourself out.
Be emptied of self.
There is an invitation to come nearer;
to sit in my presense.
Hold onto Me as you ascend up into My mountain.

is all about You

You.
in my heart.
make me smile.
with a thankful heart.
i rejoice.
feeling loved.
all i want is to praise and worship,
to please and to love You..
forever...

a voice from my Daddy God

Have you ever wonder what is it like to be a Christian? Is it hard? Are we struggling to be a Christian - pleasing God, and sometimes pleasing men?

Are we trying to make every effort to live our life that what God wants us to do? To serve in church, to go for life group, not to curse, not to swear, trying to be the best you can be?

Life is like a roller coaster huh?!

Just two weeks, I have encountered big time challenges, one of the lowest moments in my life. i felt so discouraged, disappointed, stressed, as if the whole world is against me; i have no one to turn to.. the only one who is there for me.. none other than God Himself.

I question Him : "Why is it so difficult to be Your child, oh Father, why is it so tough to be a Christian? I can never be able to meet the expectation that men set for me, it's so unfair, why am i not being treated the way it should be ..... it seems like i will never going to make it.. just wanna give up.. oh Lord.. i can't take it.. "

i found myself crying like a baby to my Daddy God.. crying my heart to Him..

After a hot shower, i continue to dwell in His presence; listening to worship songs.. and during the stillness of the night, i heard a soft tender voice..

"If you know how much I love you,

you won't have any difficulties doing what you need to do."

With that, my spirit was lifted up, instantly.. i was all charged up again. God is love! True enough, if i know how much God loves me, I would want to do the same to Him.

Thank God for His love, His everlasting, unfailing love.. that endures forever... =)


~all i wanna do.. is to love YOU more~

first time praying for my granny

On the 16th oct, while am getting ready for work, i sensed very strongly that I should pray for my granny. As it seems her condition has not be very stable. She has been throwing tantrum, and been quite bad recently.

This has always in me that, i should pray and encourage her with the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ. but, somehow.. am not doing so, perhaps, the reason is that am not confident enough, have been procrastinating to pray with her.. well.. anyway, i did .. FINALLY!

This is my very first time, praying for her in hokkien, even i can speak pretty well, but where come to praying, am just lost my words, i dunno how. I laid my hands on her.. all i felt during praying was that, she is confused, she is struggling and she is fearful.

In that one minute of prayer, i pray for Lord Jesus to bring His peace to her, to bring her the joy, to remove the pain. We all know only the Lord knows what she is going through, and YES. . only He truly understand, and nobody else will.

I am constantly remind myself to show her the love from God, to be patience with her, even though, some times it maybe very hard to do so..

and yes.. am learning ..

Growing old can be scary, but i pray that oh Lord, You will be my Lord of my life, hold my hands and never let me go ...

God can use you

The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember...

Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer AND Lazarus was dead!
Most Importantly, don't forget;

Jesus Helped them all!

Now! NO more excuses!
God can use you to your full potential.
Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger.

In the Circle of God's love, God is waiting to use your full potential.

p.s. - i like this "He who dies with the most toys ~ is still dead! " this is sooo soo true!

I need discernment

I need discernment.
I need wisdom. I need, and I need !!!

I am so tired of hearing lies, simply don't understand why there are such people in the world, enjoying lying .... and worst ~ using God's name in vain.

As what the Bible says .. we have to be as wise as serpents .. as gentle as doves ..

“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." ~ Matthew 10:16

sometimes, i just dunno how .. :(

I feel sad that why are there some people living in an imaginary life, telling stories that are not true.. perhaps they are just feeling insecurity, or maybe they simply love of lying!

Am really have no idea why they behave this way, why can't they face the truth, face the reality and why must they keep on deceiving others and deceiving themselves.

"Thou shalt not lie" this is what God has commanded us as His children to follow. Indeed, this is a command to set us FREE ..

I know the Lord is teaching me something here, which have been a hard lesson for me.. He has been allowing situations to happen, so many times, and I have never seem to pass the test..


Oh LORD, help me, teach me, guide me.. I need Your wisdom.. oh Lord Jesus .. I also pray for all those who sins against You, to repent and sin not.. as we know Lord, no matter who and what we are, You still love us.. the same.. thank You for Your love, grace and mercy ... Amen

The Fellowship Of The Unashamed

just wanna share ....

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
I have the Holy Spirit Power. The dead has been cast.
I have stepped over the line.
The decision has been made.
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure.

I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded.

I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear.

I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.

I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes.
And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear for "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.." (Romans 1:16)

Jesus has already won the Battle!

Pastor Victor spoke about "Spiritual Warfare".. i kinda thought .. am facing this issue.. so, after church, i went back and google search and i found this.

Spiritual Warfare : What is it?

Spiritual warfare exists in the unseen, supernatural dimension, where God is all-powerful and Satan is in revolt. As any Christian soon discovers, although spiritual warfare is unseen, it’s absolutely real.

The Bible speaks of spiritual warfare in many places, but most directly in Ephesians 6:12,


“For we do not wrestle against fresh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

Spiritual Warfare : Be Strong in the Lord

Spiritual warfare is a reality of the Christian life. But remember, we know the ending – our side wins. Since the Devil has already lost, he has nothing to lose in trying to take as many people with him in defeat.

Therefore:

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
~ Ephesians 6:10-11

*******

I don’t exactly understand how spiritual warfare works, or how it's function, but I do know, for sure, it can really drives me CRAZY! Whatever things happening at home, is beyond words can express. I MUST NOT give the devil a foothold.

I should LOVE the person and HATE the sin. Not to be angry with that person! Is not the person doing the sin, but is the devil ones using the person to do the sin. Don't fall into his stupid trap, okay? Don't allow the cunning, irritating, Big FAT Liar, to come and kill, steal and destroy all our joy and our trust in our loving God.

.. But.. It’s so hard not to be angry and to be kind with everyone.. How can I show Christ’s love? How to even love when am losing my cool? how?

Why is it so much easier to reach out to people outside, and it seems so hard to even care and love my own love ones at home. Have I put in enough effort to do so?

Oh Lord, grant me the wisdom. Teach me what to say and when to say it...

Thank You, Lord Jesus… For I know, You have already won that battle! Yes, if God is for us, who can be against us?

I know I can do it, YES.. I can.. ^_^

Romans 5:1-5

Today Bible verse - 23 Sept 2007

“Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” (Romans 5:3-4)

BTW, i don't usually bother what's the Bible-Verse-for-today.. but i really don't know what caught me into it ...anyway.. guess what, I actually read this verse earlier in my Bible too. The Book of Romans, chapter 5, verse 1-5

Verse 2 : through whom we have gained access by FAITH into this GRACE in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the HOPE of the GLORY of God.
Verse 5 : And HOPE does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His LOVE into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, who He has given us.

While am reading this, this is like .. "hey.. why is the verse appear again?" Oh gosh! i know that i should not be feeling hopeless and worry. . I should rejoice always. I should persevere.

In church today, we sang this song ..

"I surrender to the power of Your love
I surrender to Your will
Lord have Your way in me
I surrender to Your hand
Lead me on, help me stand
I surrender, I surrender to You"

Yes.. i want to surrender my all to You, Lord...

stars

I just couldn't sleep last nite, so i looked at the stars..
wondering.. why are there some stars that are so bright and shinning, whereas, most of them simply wasn't so obvious.. and it seems fading?

I prayed .. Oh Father, how can I be the bright shinning star that will continue to shine for You, even during the darkest hour..

You are the One who set all the stars in their place. For that very moment, I found myself singing.. "You are.. Magnificent, Eternity, Wonderful, Glorious.. Jesus ... No one ever will compare to You... Jesus"

Need You, Lord .. for You are my hope and my salvation.. =)

When you believe - Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey

There is a MIRACLE, when you believe, and truly God can turn all situations around, am actually awake now, @ 5am. Usually, I will be sleeping like a log at this hour. However, am not, guess am just too shocked with the miracle work God has done in George's life. Thanks George. Praise God for you! May God continues to use you for His glory.. =)

Our God is an AWESOME God. He reigns. If He can parted the red sea, if He can raised up the dead, what are the things He cannot do. Do not underestimated God's power. He is Mighty, nothing is too big for Him to handle. With God, ALL things are possible. =)

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him,

and He will make your paths straight."
~ Proverbs 3:5-6

When you believe - The Prince of Egypt

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could

*** There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

***
They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way clear through the rain
A small, but still, resilient voice
Says help is very near

***

Who am I ~ Casting Crowns

Hi lovely people, just wanna share this song i love very much
~ "who am i"

God speaks to me very clearly in this song, and touches my heart. (i cried) .. and yes, knowing that why would God bother to love me so much, why does He even wanna care about me. Simply the reason is because He loves me.

When we are facing our challenges in our lives, just remember Jesus will calm the storm in us. He will help us to overcome them..

"Not because of who i am, but because of You've done,

Not because of what i've done, but because of who You are."

eNjoY !! Be blessed sisters and brothers in our Lord Jesus. Love ya! ^_^

A time for everything

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NASB)

There is an appointed time for everything.
And there is a time for every event under heaven --
A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.
A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.

and verse 14,
I know that everything God does will remain forever;
there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it,
for God has so worked that men should fear Him.

Bible Version - NIV

I have been spending time on Bible MP3 for the past few days, and yes, is really good, following the audio and reading the Bible at the same time.

Currently, am reading both version concurrently, i.e the NIV (New International Version), and NKJV (New King James Version).

I actually prefer NIV compared to NKJV.. (dunno why) but not now.. not anymore! as I found out they missed out important Word of God.. :(

how could they do that?

I just would like to point out what I have found out...
(so far only two la .. haha.. is enough to break the trust!)


1) NIV - missing of the whole verse Matthew 17:21

which in NKJV;
~ "However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."

2) NIV - Mark 9:29
~ "He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer."

which in NKJV;
~ "So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."


After I learnt about the "mistake" .. perhaps is typo error, or what you name it, am losing confidence in NIV. Am wondering if there's some more?

I remember one of the Pastors mentioned that NIV is the worst version, and now I know why... He recommended NASB (New American Standard Bible). I think I'm getting one of that.. Soon. Very soon.

Malice of Absence

"Does evil exists?"

The University professor challenged his students with this question. "Did God create everything that exists?"

A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!"

"God created everything?" The professor asked.

"Yes sir", the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil.

"The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?"

"Of course", replied the professor.

The student stood up and asked, "Professor does cold exist?"

"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question.

The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460? F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."

The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"

The professor responded, "Of course it does."

The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."

Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"

Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least is does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.

最珍貴的角落 ~ 讚美之泉 SOP

this is a very nice song by SOP, one of the latest album, is about friendship. i really love this album alot; especially this song.

God blesses us with friends on this earth, for them to walk through this life with us - in good and bad times, friends are the one who make and mould us to the person we are - somehow ..
as the saying goes- "birds of the same feathers flock together."

Therefore, friends are indeed very important, we must choose our friends wisely.

We need friends, don't we?

However, no matter how close our friends can be.. our friends can't be with us 24/7, some of our best buddies don't even understand us the way we want them to be, even some maybe 10 / 20 years of friendship, we often will quarrel, argue, debate, fight ..

is so hard to understand why ..

just to let you know that, there is Someone who really knows us - very well.. very very well..

He is our best Friend on earth. He really cares and loves us.. He is forever with us.. He will never leave us nor forsake us - no matter where we are, He is always near .. a Friend that i can trust and rely for life..

He is Jesus ~ my faithful Friend, my Lord, my King.. my everything.. =)



anyway.. enjoy this song ya..


最珍貴的角落

謝謝你燦爛笑容 照亮我的天空
謝謝你分享心情 把我放在你心中

夜裡有時為寒冷 你我生根同暖土
友情是最亮的星 我的生命從此美麗

當你被花朵包圍盡情歡欣
我帶春風使你舞其中
當你正走在坎坷路 我會伴你在左右
一起向藍天歡呼 向白雲招手
我們要一起笑一起哭

千萬人中有個人懂我
你有最珍貴的角落

God has won the battle !

"Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life."

~ Proverb 13:12


"所 盼 望 的 迟 延 未 得 ， 令 人 心 忧 ；
所 愿 意 的 临 到 ， 却 是 生 命 树 。"

~ 箴 言 13-12



Stop hating, stop being angry, stop holding grudges.
Stop being judgmental, start forgiving,
stop being sorrowful, stop hurting.
Stop over-analysing, stop thinking too much.
Start embracing, start living.
Stop looking back, start looking forward.

Keep your accounts short– let God handle the battle for you.

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) ~ Chris Tomlin


Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Chorus:
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me


And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

"In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." Luke 15:10 (NIV)

Praise the LORD!

am so thankful, that the friend i have invited to SOP - praise and worship concert, she was so touched by God, and she has received Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Saviour.

Praise the Lord!

I thank God. Praise Him for His touch, during the worship, she kept crying, the love and the presence of God is so strong. She kept asking me why is she crying, uncontrollable.

Her name is Angel.. she has been to our Young Adult - Novena LG, and continue to pray that she will visit us again ya.. do pray that God continue to speak to her..


I thank God for SOP , using them to touch lives.... oh Lord, they are great.. beautiful.. May the Lord continue to use them, and bless the works of their hands..

Beatitudes

"Blessed are the poor in spirit:

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn:

for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek:

for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:

for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful:

for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart:

for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers:

for they shall be called the children of God."

Mission trip

I really want to encourage all of us -
to go for mission trip,
especially to those who have not experience before,
to go at least once. It will change your life..
not only that you will know you can do GREATER things for Christ..


For me, God has touched me in a very special way.

We are really very blessed, to have Jesus in our lives, and I just can't thank Him enough..

His goodness and faithfulness never leave us, we must not take everything for granted. Be thankful, praise Him for who He is, and not only what He has done for us...

Going to Tacloban City, Philipines is not just a trip,
but is a life-transforming experience for me.


I just wanted to SHOUT out loud to the whole wide world -


" I LOVE JESUS !!!!! "
and i really really really do ...








going back next year (if the Lord's willing)
to serve Him with all my heart..
loving Him and His people...

first blog after a long time

... uhmm.. just popped by..

hope to upload some pics when am free..

haha.. but just wondering anyone reading or not.. haha..

a Letter from HELL

Something I wanted to share - especially to those who need to find courage to share about Jesus ....

Peace...

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

~ John 14:27 (NIV)



Surrender. Everything. Yes.. Is Everything. . . To God.

Presenting my baby princess ... SYT

Hey.. it has been a long time since my last update .. heehee..
okay, before I go any further, what is princess SYT?
... yes.. she is the "Sweet Young Thing"

I thank God for this wonderful gift. She is so beautiful. So adorable.

I have really missed her so alot, I used to see her everyday - day and night since her arrival, for one month, but now she only visits us once a week. The house has ever since became cold, empty and quiet .. missed her crying sometimes. Of cuz, the joys and laughters too. =)

Princess Ji Ting Wei - SYT

BEFORE

I have to rush off for Church. (after these pics were taken)

AFTER

Look! I was shocked to see her
@ same day, same place, same her.. but no hair..!

Tingwei has grown... she is now able to "response" better.. haha. . . so fun!

Can start to hear her make the "moo-moo-uhmm..uhmm.." sound now..

~ This is my favourite of all ~

Say "Helloooooooooooooooooooo"

She is like so "drunk" by her milk .. haha .. *stone*

Lord...

I need patience. I need wisdom.

Speak when is time to speak, if not just keep quiet... not to be too quick to judge or defence myself.. Teach me how......

"My dear brother, take note of this :
Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. "
~James 1: 19-22

princess is sick ..

She got a slight flu, having blocked nose, apparently, is quite okay, not really serious.
However, poor thing that she had difficulties breathing thru her tiny nose. (quite cute) but pity her actually.. to see her ill.

Her daddy and mommy brought her to KK hospital, and she have to stay one night there. Not necessary one, but daddy too worried.. he insisted on staying for doctor to monitor and observe her. sigh...

Thank God, she is discharged today, now sleeping. Pray that she will recover soon... :)

New rule : Must wash hand before touching her.. so if you got a chance to see her.. please huh? Follow the rule ok??

I find this not applicable to me lor, cuz .... my hands is always clean .. haha ... (am serious.. i wash it regularly one okay)

a moment of reflection

What is my motivation factor that keeps me going?

Despite of the storms, trials, testings and obstacles that come my way..
What is the Objective.. ?
What keep me going?
What do I desire?
Any new reasons to move forward?

Must be cleared in what I want.. believe .. really believe...
DREAM and DREAM BIG !


"Let's be motivated, Be Desired. Stay motivated!"
Nobody intends to fail... but they failed to do what they intend to.

Be cleared in the direction I want, and GO!

Thought of the day :-

xiao zhu is home

Most babies have some jaundice during the first week of life .. is quite normal .. she is just happen to be one of them .. sad .. :-( so, she got to "stay-back" for "sun taning " till she is fit to go home .. the next day .. finally, she is back. Yeah!!!

Ya .. this little princess has a name le - Ji Ting Wei .. sound like - "tia wei" in hokkien means very obedient.. cool huh?

Today is her first day at her our place. oh boy .. this princess ah .. just loved to be carried. The moment you leave her on the bed.. there she goes ... "err..urrr...errr... urrrrrrrrrggg..." until like no sound.. she must have screaming last nite till she lost her voice.

Hear her cry, almost makes my heart drop lor .. hiazz .

So poor thing huh?!

Is so ke-lian, we got no clue what she wants.. is like a "guessing-game" - give her water, give her milk, check her diaper... carry her.. tap tap her... trying ways and means to pacify her lor ... this princess ah .... really not easy to handle a baby okay ... need lots and lots of patience.

Oh Lord, help us !

Me and my friends were talking about what is a best product to market.. targeting at mommy.. I was saying that if I can invent a device that can detect baby language, this is going to be the best innovative product in the world.. I think it is going to make it lor .. uhmm... will be selling like hot cakes.. haha .. and I will be rich lor ..

*day-dreaming*

is also a joy to see her yawn.. see her smile and stick out the tiny tongue .. see her pout .. to see her stretch her little hands and legs.. so cute lor.. to hear her fart .. baby fart too right.. so funny..

Overall, is FUN ..

baby xiao zhu was born today!

Thank God for babies.. They are gifts from God..

Praise the Lord for a wonderful delivery of baby "xiao zhu" - my niece. After 12 hours of enduring, pushing and suffering.. she is finally out! - Natural delivery ! Wow !! Reckon that it must be not easy thing for my sister to go thru it..

SEE! How Incredible God has created a women to be.. amazing huh?


She is called "xiao zhu" because she's born in the year of "pig".. and her daddy & mommy have yet decide a name for her. OH boy! dunno what are they waiting for lor..

This little princess has really brings lots of joys in the ward. Her every actions seems so cute.. every action brings laughter to us. She is the superstar of the night, as myself and her daddy was so busy "snapping" her and didn't really pay attention to her mommy.. poor thing lor... After all her "hard work".. nobody seems to be "interested" or "paying attention" to her .. well .. that's life isn't it? "xiao zhu" is the SUPERSTAR, we have waited for 9 months lei ... haha ... sorry sis! Anyway, Well done! Good job!

I tell you lor, she is soooooooooo cute ... she refused to open her eyes.. I was like "aiming" at her face to take a good shot of her, ready to snap her anytime when she opened her eyes *waiting..waiting..* finally she opened her "eye" but only one side of her eyes lor ... wau lau eh ...

No matter how I teased her, begged her .. she only want to "wink".. heehee .. unable to capture her both eyes... *sob*sob* guess the lighting is too bright for her la, not get used to the bright lights. Stayed in the womb too long maybe.. haha .. give her some time she will adjust to it one..

Is okay .. she still looks very adorable.. so cute.. really looks like her mommy.... You know what? She got dimples on both side of her cheeks. She is soooo pretty lor... so happy..

Praise God for His wonderful creation.

Thank You, Lord Jesus for a safe delivery of both the mother & baby, thank You for blessing us with a beautiful and healthy girl. Lord, I pray for blessings over this family.. watch over her life. I pray for love, peace, joy, grace, mercy and protection to be upon her, Lord.. In Jesus' Name.. Amen...
