But the greatest of these is LOVE


I was very relunctant to attend Fellowship Night yesterday cos I overslept & I thought it was already late. But guess what? My mom asked me to go anyhow... Really thank God for my lovely mother =)

I'm so thankful that I did not miss the screening of the video, couldn't remember the title of the video. But it was a testimony from a newly wed couple in HK/S'pore - Ralph Lim & Alice Lui.
They discover Ralph had a cancer 1 week after they're married.
Then Ralph have to go thru some painful Chemotherapy sessions but yet proved to be no avail.
His tumor in the head was destroying his handsome face in 3 months time... It was such a heart-breaking scene even for people like me - who does not know him to look at. What is more for the family? & especially the wife?

But despite of the pain & suffering they have to go through, they see God behind everything that had happened.
Was very moved by what Alice shared, she said everytime when she look at the husband face (that was already swollen & look nothing like him anymore), she saw the love of God...
I am truly and deeply touched by their faith in God, and their love for each other.
Then I asked myself, what would I do if this thing happen on me or my love one?
I have no answer, and I fear for my answer...

Really don't know how to pen it down properly, am pretty disturbed, as the sharing truly cut to my heart...
I felt so small compared to their faith in Christ.
So ashame of myself, for always taking things for granted.
And I thank God for keeping me from those trials beyond what I can bear.
I wanted to learn to be more grateful, for all that I have & how God had been good to me.
And I want to love God more...

Someone also share this quote to me today - "Keep looking towards the sunshine and you will not see the shadow".
Very true. I guess this is how Ralph & Alice find their strength in God, by keeping thier eyes on Jesus, not on the problems that overshadow them.
But how many times we of little faith lose focus and therefore start to sink deep into our troubles, and got blinded by the darkness around us?
We often forget God is always there - today, yesterday & forever, we only need to turn our eyes upon Him.
Perhaps all these will not be a problem, if only we know God more... if only we love God more... ...

And as I was watching the video, I can't help but missing him, greatly...
Many a times, I was wondering, what would it be, if you are still around?
Many a times, I would still try to look around, trying to search for your warm smiling face.
Many a times, I have lots of things in my heart that I wanted to share it with you.
Many a times, I wanted to tell you of the silly things that I have done, or to share some jokes with you.
I really miss you, alot alot...
I'm still very selfish huh? =p
Always wanted you to stay here & keep toiling, rather than let you peacefully back to the Father and resting in Him.
Will you be dissapointed with me when you looking down from up there?
I am, I am very disappointed with myself.
I think I have let you down, I think I have let God down.
As I look back how I live my life, I must have grieve many who loves me...


I'm so sorry...
God, help me...

I am blessed =)

A song dedication to my dear God, my bro & sis in Christ, my beloved family & my friends =)

I Am Blessed
(Artist: Eternal)

Ooh, hmm
Here in the silence I say a prayer
Though I've never seen you somehow I know you're there
You're in the faces of the people that I meet
You're as silent as the Earth beneath my feet
So if I should complain that all I have is not enough
Forgive me, I've been given so much

And I am blessed, every time I look into my baby's eyes
I think of all the friends who've touched my life
I realise in a world where some have more and some have less
I have love and I am blessed

So many changes this world can put you through
Sometimes it's hard to find a way if a heart can get confused
But then I hold you and it all falls into place
You've given me what time cannot erase
So when I'm feeling down or feel sorry for myself
I look around and it's easy to tell

That I am blessed, every time I look into my baby's eyes
I think of all the friends who touched my life
I realise in a world where some have more and some have less
I have love and I am blessed

Every time I look into my baby's eyes

I realise I think of all the friends who touched my life

And I am blessed (I am blessed)
Every time I look into my baby's eyes (I look into your eyes)
I think of all the friends who have touched my life
I realise (I realise) you've given me such peace and happiness
In this world where some have more and some have less
I am loved
And I am blessed

Impossible?

Normally I used MS Paint to do all the event poster for webbie, and everytime it was a struggle for me with the limited features of Paint as compare to all the other softwares for graphic design... However it was only a struggle, and not a complaint ;)
Because I've learnt from Petra through all these years to work with what we have!
This motto had been a great help for me, as it teaches me to depend on God for whatever that is lacking.

And guess what I found today?
A link forwarded by Zun Hong > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk2sPl_Z7ZU&mode=related&search=
This is so crazy!! Insane but fantastic artist whoever he/she is!

So what is impossible?? Tell me about it, haha!


It is not what WE do for God, but what HE does through us.

Sis in town on her birthday

Yay! Sis & my nieces are in town since Wed, and she will be spending her birthday here!

I was pretty busy on her actual birthday - 19th July (Thu), went out with friends to Pasar Malam @ Rampai that day... Haha, but tak jadi that day cos suddenly heavy down pour... darn. But met 弟弟 at the suckish cafe, what a coincident! ^.^
(the food & beverage at the cafe is really awful, bear in mind that I'm not a choosy person, so you can imagine how does it taste like, when I complaint...)

Brought my mum, my sis & her family to Dragon-I for lunch as her birthday present, it really cost me alot!! +.+ sob sob...
Sigh! But nevermind la, her birthday only come once a year, miss her presence alot also.

And my nieces are sooo cute! See for yourself:

took this pic when she is sleeping beside me on my bed
( my sis put her there to wake me up... )

And yes, I got to know the claim amount for the accidents... which sum up to RM2268.98 =.=*
What an expensive lesson...

Random thoughts on Week 28 & 29 (YR2007)

Hmmm... It had been a while since I updated the blog... So this post gonna be long ^.^
Reason?? Simply because I had been really buzy... Working hard ( to clear my outstanding workload, I'm 2 weeks behind schedule =.=* ) and playing hard ( "Girls just wanna fun" background music playing... =p )

Lots of things had been happening for the past 2 weeks... mostly are the unfortunate one... Haha!
But I still believe that everything happens for a reason, and may God continue to enlighten me to be able to see it through.

Wed (11/7) - My tummy is not behaving well that day, start to feel the pain since mid night and it got worse in the morning. But I still wanted to go to work, hopelessly stiffneck I am. I just do not know what else I can do even if I stay home...
And finally I've decided to call it a day before lunch hour - after I already can't tahan & go puke in the water closet... Then went to see doctor at Mid Valley - he said most possible cause is "mild food poisoning".
Whatever... as long as I get my MC... Ha! Thank God for the sickness so that I may rest.
Had lunch with Lydia & Amilia, it was a good time spent together. Then went to shopping with BiBi for PCW ingredients, the pain subsided as I went shopping, haha! Shopping-theraphy is still the best medicine! =p

Fri (13/7) - "有曱甴!!!"
Cockroach in my pants, arrggggggggggh!!
What a scary morning =.=* It crawl onto my hand from my jeans when I was about to tug in my leg...
Then had a human vs cockroach war declared in my room. Have to make sure that darn thing died before I leave my sweet home. Almost crying already! But no choice, gotta fight on to protect my home land... +.+

Sat (14/7) - Yes, that PCW saturday! I bang my dear Kelissa, the poor car had just celebrate its 1 yr old birthday 2 mths ago. Didn't take any picture of my car after the accident(s) @.@
But maybe it's better that way, so that when I get back my car, I can totally erase this incident from my mind... Haha, denial...
But some good things happened along the way too.
Kinda moved by my friend's kind act, he offer to fetch me back to church, as he was very worry over my "ability to drive" after what had happened... Haha! Maybe more like the fear that i will become a threat to all the other road users... Anyway, thank you 福忠! ^.^
And yes!! Our Turkish Cuisine, it was really impressive!! Hehe, kinda proud of what we've managed to deliver. Not forgetting the superb Turk Tent set up by Nigel & team. It was real good =)
And hey! I didn't lose my temper during PCW at all! Haha, which amazes a lot of people >.<> lunch (KFC then Secret Recipe) > BiBi's hse > Times Square > dinner > MBO Galaxy Ampang =.=*
Watched Transformers for the 2nd time, actually only watch 50% of the show, cos I was sleeping half the time... Ha! Wasted the ticket sponsored by David M.

And I wanted to express my sincere gratitude toward the names listed below for providing me transport to work & back home this week:

MON > Ernest & Wee Jin
TUE > Adam & Wee Jin
WED > Chee Wah & Eddie
THU > 哥哥 & 福忠
FRI > Chee Wah & ?? (may God provide...)

Thank God for providing so many kind souls by my side =)


And the thought that hit me most this week is on Isaiah 6:8

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"
And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"


I read this during one of my QT last week, and it was also my "Verse of the Day" 2 days later. It really hit me because it got me to question myself - will I be able to be like Isaiah, to tell God "Here I am, send me!" when there is a calling to do His will?
Help me, Lord...

And I also read a DCQ posted at a friend's blog, it is one of my favorite quote too.
She posted the quote & some sharing from one of my forwarded DCQ email. And as I read it now, it encourages me in return, God really work in miraculous way =)

Waiting for God means power to do nothing save under command. This is not lack of power to do anything. Waiting for God needs strength rather than weakness. It is power to do nothing. It is the strength that holds strength in check. It is the strength that prevents the blundering activity which is entirely false and will make true activity impossible when the definite command comes.

How true...
Isaiah 40:31

Happy Birthday to San Yin

Hey Liew San Yin,
Thanks for teaching me about J.O.Y =)
May you have a wonderful birthday today, and many more to come, my friend.

Hope you like the small but practical pressie... =p


The chief thing is, not to know what God has said we must do, but that God Himself says it to us. It is not the law, and not the book, not the knowledge of what is right, that works obedience, but the personal influence of God and His living fellowship. It is only in the full presence of God that disobedience and unbelief become impossible.

My Best Friend's Wedding 07•07•07

Today is a very special day, it is my best friend's wedding!!!

It was a very special feeling, to walk before your best friend down the aisle to her soon to be husband. The joy and the happiness is beyond what words can describe =)

Am very nervous of course, and very scare too, knowing how clumsy I can be... =.=* I might just trip & fell down, and then ruin her perfect day...
But thank God that it did not happen as what we have predicted! And all of us have reach our destination safely, hehe... ^.^

Gosh! She was so cute and nervous when reciting the vow after Mr Lian, that she request to have me reading along (of course not read out loud la... just lip sync, which is one of my expertise... haha!), so that she may read my lips when she couldn't follow.

I am so excited & happy for my dear friend, and I pray that she will be happy always =)
And I thank God for the privilege of standing by her side at one of her most wonderful moment in her life.


May God continue to be with David & Lydia, just as what the wise teacher have said "... A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." (Eccl 4:12)

And the DCQ for today is:
"Marriage is not finding the right person, it is being the right person."

Yappy Birthday, Nigel!

Today is my dear commander birthday... And also D&L's wedding!
So everyone have no choice but too busy to celebrate for him =p Sorry...
But group Andrew with the help of WC did prepare something for him la, we are not that bad after all, haha!
So, yappy birthday la har... ^.^

As men cherish young plants at first and fence them about with hedges to keep them from hurt, but when they are grown they remove these things and leave them to the wind and weather, so God sustains His children at first with props of inward comforts, but afterwards He exposes them to storms and winds because they are better able to bear them. Therefore let no man think himself the better because he is more free from troubles than others; it is because God sees him not fit to bear greater.
