FAITH'S JOURNAL~ The Journey

First week of school in Destiny Academy

2009-12-03T23:40:00.000-08:00

This is the first day of preschool and kindergarten holiday program which I am currently handling. I have a total of 10 kids in the class now. Kai Ling has a huge intermediate and senior class but most of them are just here for the holiday english class. Its fun teaching the kids. Different kids have different characteristic and each has to be handled with love.

This week just passed by fast although many said it would be tiring for me but I don't feel exhausted handling them and looking forward to meet them the next school day.
One thing which I noticed is that when kids age 3-6years are told not to do so, they listen and will accept correction.

Break at Awana Kijal, Terengganu

2009-11-11T19:53:00.000-08:00

Last supper
Awana Kijal

I've recently went for a short break with my parents to Awana Kijal, Terengganu. It has been a long time since my last visit in Terengganu. A very relaxing trip, beautiful place, but didn't went down the beach as the wind was too strong, although it didn't rain, many reports of a flood coming, but the through out the entire trip was hot and sunny.

We went to see the petroleum crude, it was such a magnificent structure, it really amazes me that this can be found in our country!

The next adventure was that we went for stuff crab, erm...not really facinating. my dad says, cheese crab is better! That would be next eating trip in KL.

In and out of town

2009-11-01T21:24:00.000-08:00

Its been a very busy month for me, as I have been in and out traveling to and fro to Ipoh for training. Yet, it has been a fulfilling season for me getting girded up for an acceleration year. Destiny Academy school will be up by next year, and I will be moving to another field again-Education. Its exciting yet anticipating of what will take place next. God is awesome and his grace is abound.

David Proposed!

2009-10-21T21:03:00.000-07:00

David proposed to me on the 21st October 2009.

This is what happen: He was suppose to take me out for dinner at 8pm, he even asked me what I wanted to eat so I told him what I wanted to eat, I told him I wanted to eat nasi bryanni. On the way, he had to turn back as he forgot to bring his wallet. So we went back to his house, I was in the car waiting when he called me and told me to come in as he needed help so I off the car engine and went down....."Surprise"!! He prepared a very romantic dinner for me-chicken rice, steam otak-otak and mango yogurt as desert.

After dinner, he came out with a white rose on his knees down and proposed.

" Will you marry me" he said.

" Only a rose?"I said

" No, look inside the rose."

"OO....erm can I consider?" was my answer

" How Long?"David said.

erm...

"Cannot, cannot, no time already." David said

"YES, I will marry you!" and then he put the ring on my finger.

Revival on the RUN

2009-07-01T21:22:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the long pause of updates, as last month was a really busy month preparing for the nations arrival to Muar for the Global Leader's Meeting and International Pastors Training. And right after the conference, we went to Ipoh and Johor Bahru to bring the revival across this land.
The conferences were awesome in both places which I was there, it is only when you are at dry places, you will realize how full are you to give out to those who are thirsty and hungry. Both destination had a different bondage. Ipoh was full of sorcery and Johor was full of deception blinding the eyes of the people. We went there to break the enemies camp and set the captives free! It was a war that we have won the victory. Coming back with a full victory on our side was an unspeakable joy!!

It does not stop here as we are continuing to take more territories for His Kingdom. Check out for the next Revival Roadshow!
Just a litter appetizer for my readers. Our worship team has release an album title "Lord of The Nations". It has a song entitle "Breaking Limitations", which was written and compose by me, of course with the help of my team too.

Graduation Ceremony

2009-03-23T00:19:00.000-07:00

A pretty surprise gift from David

With Parents

Finish procession

Was afraid I get tripped

Distinction Graduate-Phua Shyan-Hwei whom I meet there

Dressed on my graduation gown, just in time after a Marathon race

I had my graduation ceremony on the 21st march 2009 in The Concorde hotel Singapore. I was running very late for my rehearsal which was suppose to start at 11am. I reached at 12pm, we took long road instead of a short cut that cut across from the MRT station, but I wasn't late for the ceremony, that's most important. I got dress on with my graduation gown and took my graduation photos and proceeded on the ceremony, everything just happen so quickly, and ended earlier than it was scheduled. At least there wasn't such a long speech given by the guest of honor, which was good!

There were many graduates from all over the world- Korea, japan, Indonesia, Philippines...This Diploma from Associated Board of Royal School of Music (ABRSM) is recognized throughout the world and is a gold standard award. I didn't realize that their standard was set so high that only 200 graduates passed this professional exam over 3000 candidates, they said that they would need to set a high standard in order to associated with this level of professionalism. Well, I should be proud I finally got through it.

I also meet a girl whom I met during my examination day last year, and we rejoice for our achievement, as we remembered we were so anxious on that day.

I did wish my late mum was there as she was the one who made me determined to finish my piano, it was her wish to see me becoming a piano teacher one day. My mum saw that future ahead of time. Thanks Mum, I hope you will be very proud of this achievement. This achievement is not only mine but is partly yours as well.

Golden Girl

2009-03-22T23:54:00.000-07:00

Golden Girl with a Golden Smile

Jolly Issac Pastors

10th March- A surprise celebration for the "Golden Girl" you can guess her age...haha

We had all the KL Isaac Pastor gathered at the bible school Unit 3 hall. I was so surprise when I entred in as I didn't expect my TCC church members to invite such a whole load of people, some which I never knew!

Aunty Nancy got a call and was told that someone was waiting for her, to talk to her. So hurriedly, she "ta pao" her porridge from Uncle Sam's Cafe, which was her supper and came up to the bible school. Everyone was in the dark for a while waiting in silence.

Door open. "Happy Birthday...!!" everyone sang the usual song.

A lovely time we had while aunty Nancy gave a short speech of appreciation and as well, it was like another session from Dr Jonathan as all the pastors were commencing in parts of his preaching.Is like the transferable of legacy, passing down to his "SONS". Now they talked like him, quick learners, hahaha...

1st Conference in 2009

2009-03-19T21:20:00.000-07:00

I have just finish my break after my first Conference-GEAR-, it was a really exhausting of running around, waking up at odd hours to make ends meet for the conference. On the last day, I really ''sui" already, (meaning almost died!)

But I enjoyed it, maybe its my first experience:) Lots to learn and improved in managing accommodations. I am glad to see my church friends from KL and from Kuching as well for this GEAR and to support me as well!

Joy Kids

2009-03-03T04:56:00.000-08:00

This is my 3 week teaching the Joy Kids, my group of children are Indian kids and they can't speak English well, so I have to use Bahasa Malaysia to teach them, I was nervous at the beginning as my bahasa is almost half a bucket full, searching for the right vocabulary to every words while preparing my teaching lesson. But with adequate preparation and with God's grace, the words just proceeded out in liberty.
A mother was sharing yesterday, that the children really enjoyed the sessions and are eager to come, she could see a change in her son's life, being more obedient . She was almost in tears when she shared that. I was really encourage and praise the Lord of His works in the kids life. Last Sunday, I had all the kids sat in the front 2nd and 3rd row to write notes of the message, each of them came and show me their notes end of service and to my amaze, even the little ones could write good notes!
I pray for all this life to grow in advancement of HIS KINGDOM. They are His beloved ones! "Let the children come to me."

Wedding anniversary

2009-03-01T23:17:00.000-08:00

Friends and Family

Congratulations Kai Ye and Kai Ma!

Malaysian Idol

Delicious...

Renewing their vows

Will you " Dance" with me

25th February, rushed down to Kuala Lumpur for my god parents 25th wedding anniversary. We had a gathering at a lovely Korean restaurant with close family and friends of about 30 people. Got to meet up with a lot of old time friends and FG-tians (ex church members of Full Gospel Tabernacle, old klang road). The evening started with Kai Ye singing for Kai Ma and saying a fewwww words to Kai Ma, while Kai Ma was rushing him as time was running and everyone was hungry!! Gabriel gave a video clip presentation and in fact he and his friend organized the entire function. Thumbs Up Gab! Andriel (our rock star) performed a song dedicated to Kai Ma and Kai Ye and their youngest son Daniel was staying cool!! the entire evening..haha

Thoughts...

2009-02-19T04:08:00.000-08:00

Time might seem slow here in Muar, but it really isn't true as its my second month already. Life is just really quiet and peaceful here and most of my time spend would be at home, busy doing research, watching Chinese series drama or doing some baking, cooking...
I miss time back in KL, my friend told me today that she misses those time when I was around. I do miss those time as well, old things has to past, or new things won't be able to come, but I was really touch to hear that. For a second thought, I wish clock would turned back:)

First Valentine

2009-02-17T03:09:00.000-08:00

Had a rough day in the morning, 3 of my staff were quarreling with one another and I had to deal with all 3 of them. Now I understand how is like to manage people, its not easy especially when they are from small towns, they never know what is company policy to abide and other standard procedures a staff has to follow. It is difficult to set their mentality accordingly, but in certain things I am training them and probably in certain areas I would need to have leniency too.
Anyways, off the above situation, we celebrated valentine a day earlier on Friday instead as we had to have worship practice on Saturday which was good as well, as usually Valentines day, all prices goes up. Valentin didn't occurred in my mind till David reminded me of it. It was a surprise where he arranged a spa for me (to cool off...haha) and we had dinner in a dimmest cafe ever"Zane Cafe" and finally he gave me a rose which made up my day!
Besides my Valentine story, another interesting story took place early on Valentine morning, Susanne got a call from a flower shop saying that they had a bouquet of flower to deliver to her, she went down from her room and got her flowers which was from Jaya, how romantic Jaya could be!!! That was a surprise and am sure a surprise to all who knows Jaya...hahaha

Added Team

2009-02-10T05:16:00.000-08:00

An added staff to my team today, her name is Aunty Sock Heng. She is really hardworking, efficient in her work and particular of detailed cleanliness and I am glad that she can be part of our team as she would be able to motivate the rest of the team.
Before, I was really hoping that there would be one more to join our housekeeping team as I felt that there is still a lack of one man power. My request has been answered but now, I do hope that 3 of my staff would work well together as a team.

The End of Meeting Needs

2009-01-30T03:15:00.001-08:00

I was down when I heard my pay here would be 3 quarter of what I used to earn back in KL, as you know Muar is a small town and living expenses is not that high, but still from a top earner and back low down is quite a blow. Nevertheless, my brokenness never last after pouring out to my dad and my friend + colleague, Renee, I felt a whole lot better! God heard my hearts cry and gave me His Words that He will meet my every single needs.
The following day, Dr. Jonathan also preach that every needs can be meet by 5 simple ways:
1) I must stay in the purposes of God always.

Roman 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Joseph brother sold him as a slave into Egypt, being alone in a foreign land, having nothing in hand must have left him devastated, but God meant it for good.

2)I must stay under the protection of His covering always.

We are living under a Mighty Authority that is God.
Covering includes those in authority of our lives too, parents, Pastor, leaders as their authority will protect us.

James 4:7-8 Submit yourselves, then to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners and purify your hearts, you double minded.

3)Stay open and align yourself to the proceeding Word of God always.

Even when the Word comes to our thoughts, act upon it. His Word must change our lives. It is like a seed which must fall on good soils and not on grounds which would destroy or lay to waste.

4)I must stay connected in partners in Destiny.

Acts 4:23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.

They were connected with a company of people in the same destiny. We need this kind of people in our lives as they are our strength in times of need, to encourage and pray with us.

5)Stay in the attitude of enduring prayer.

Ephesians 6:17-18 Take the helmet of salvation and sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the spirit on all occasion with all kinds of prayer and requests.

Pray consistently! Faith and Patience will inherit the promise.

Malacca Day Trip

2009-01-29T05:54:00.000-08:00

-The Alley-at the Jonker Street

In a Nyonya House

David's Roots

Trying to get a reflection shot

Kevin and Phoebe sent me off to Malacca and meet up with David there, we went for Baba Nyonya food at Jonker street. Malacca is a world heritage place of its unique buildings build during the Dutch and Portugal's reign. There is so much to see at Jonker Street and even in a small town, people queue up for food, long queues, I don't even see that in KL.

2009 Chinese New Year

2009-01-29T05:29:00.000-08:00

Added family-the dog, Puffy

My grandma who has a lovely smile

My Cousins and Aunties

Chinese New Year for this year is very different.

Firstly is that, now I have to balik kampung which is Kuala Lumpur, oh well others balik kampung, I balik bandar, but its a benefit for me as usually the traffic jams on the other side.

Secondly is that this year I spend more time with my family instead of going visitations.

Thirdly, Ang Pau is the smallest this year, hm....or maybe I am getting older?

David says that Chinese New Year reminds him of the memories of younger days which were so much fun. Its true too, I miss times like those- playing firecracker, aunties and uncles playing with me, a noisy big house, eating all the junks and drinking all the fuzzy drinks.

Or maybe its because we were a kid, that's why we felt so much fun? But those were the days and I believe that there will be more exciting days ahead even as a grown up too!

And in order to have it happen, I believe that you have to feel it in yourself and you have to make it happen!

YOU CAN MAKE YOUR WORLD BEAUTIFUL .

My Working Team

2009-01-29T05:11:00.000-08:00

Joshua

Leviyal

This are my working team mates, Leviyal and Joshua at Citadel Heights. They are a great help to me especially during my first month of work here, getting use and to know the properties which I need to handle here. Still getting to know them ...but two qualities I could see in them (at the moment) is that they are very responsible and hardworking. It's fun to be able to work with them, Joshua is the handy man one who would make jokes and humors me! And Leviyal is a responsible house cleaning maintainer.

Well, I wouldn't say its a bed of roses in work, but people sharpen each other and most importantly is that I need to have wisdom to learn the positive qualities of others.

Fish SPA

2009-01-29T02:20:00.000-08:00

Medium size fish, didn't take the big jaws

Cuties-baby fish

David took me for a fish SPA at Mid Valley Megamall and he had a relaxing leg massage. My first experience in being food for the fishes...hee hee...it was really ticklish at first, but after a few minutes of torturing, it was enjoyable. There is 3 sizes of fishes, the small, medium and large fish, I wasn't allow to try the big fish as it was said to be aggressive, I could imagine..!! My foot might be gone...haha.."just joking". It seems to have a list of benefits doing this, example promote blood circulation, lighten scars, dead skins..... David said that they could say anything and claim every benefits, no know whether its true or which is true.

Appreciation Nite

2009-01-29T01:57:00.000-08:00

A gift from the music ministry, thanks guys, miss serving with you guys!

Time Together As a Family

Our Aunties

Triumphant Christian Centre had their appreciation night on the 18th Jan 2009. David and me went back on that day to spend this special occasion with our extended family in Christ. Thoughts were floating in my mind on my way back, missing KL was part of it and to see my family was indeed an anticipation moment. I was glad to see those that were there, even though there were a lot fewer people now but those were the "BEST" people God has choose to stay and finish the " Triumphant Destiny"!

Words of appreciation from my dad, mum, Bruce, Stephanie to all young and old, each one has contributed in one or another way, and most importantly is that You have stand along side strong and mighty in Faith with Pastor and what the Lord is doing in this church! God can only work with such a generation who is one in heart with the set man of the house. And in due times, you will see your rewards, not only rewards for your family or yourself, but rewards that would flow through you to others.

Let us have a mentality for others and not just for our self, when we think in this manner just like Gideon having a heart for his people and nation, God will be able to raise you up for great things!

Get Ready for the New!

2009-01-15T04:57:00.000-08:00

We had our combine cell group yesterday evening, Pastor Helen Khong shared on "THE NEW CHANGE"

God is releasing new things in our Life and we must be ready to take heed once we hear from HIM. Sometimes we are so comfortable of our old usual ways but if we want a New Malaysia to rise, we must first be a New Self! Change when God speaks to us that this or that needs to change...lifestyle, the way we relate to others, our thinking pattern.....etc

Just look around and we can see from era to era, we no longer live in the same technology years ago. From Keretapi Tanah Melayu train to KTM (Komuter Train)-LRT (Light Rail Train)-Monorail...and what's next? There is always advancement in technology, and technology makes our life easier and faster so as our life in Christ must be the same, no longer we shall struggle in life unnecessary because we move in accordance with His Spirit.

God never works the same, He always works differently and full of amazement. Never ever was a miracle the same nor a process of victory similar. The Joshua Generation never had the same attack strategy given by God in times of war, but they had thier victory when they obeyed.

That is why we need to always be at the current update of His Spoken Words.

Not so adventure walk

2009-01-11T21:04:00.000-08:00

I went for exercise around the seaside early morning today, ended up being lost in the town of Muar didn't know how to get back home. I walked almost for 4 hours asking around for directions till I finally manage to get back to my trail road. This is how it happens when you are a stranger in a town.
But this taught me and made me realize that I had strong endurance and never easily to give up although I almost wanted to, but I don't have a choice or I will be stranded in a nowhere place without my handphone to call for help.
While I was walking and walking, in my heart I was telling God "Please give me strength to walk back."
Thank God I am back home safe! whew....

Being A Part of All Nation Santuary family

2009-01-11T00:28:00.000-08:00

Today is my first service with ANS church in Muar. There are so much to learn here, I am thankful that God has prepared me for this journey. I had quite a worship practice yesterday, I was asked to play the 2nd keyboard on my first practice, although I had back up for thier worship practices before, there are new songs which I am yet to learn and so much more.
God is preparing ANS for a course for this nation. Papa Jonathan and Mum Helen are in Soloman Island and Papua New Guinea so Pastor Chung preach today.

Surprise Daddy's Birthday

2009-01-08T06:23:00.001-08:00

I had the opportunity to hear from Stephanie of what a lovely birthday my dad had today.
This was the story....
On the phone
Peter: " Pastor, my teeth very pain, can you come out to pray for me please?"
Pastor went out: "I know you all hiding behind the car lah, come out!"

All of them jump out from the car and sang a birthday song.

Stephanie made my dad's favorite carrot cake with my recipi for his birthday.
Thanks guys and gals for doing this and making it a special day for my dad on my behalf.
You all are my special FAMILY.

First Day at Work

2009-01-07T21:28:00.000-08:00

My first day at work.
There are 6 properties which I would need to manage. Going to and Fro from places to places is rather a good exercise though. I am still getting adjust to lifestyle here. And I had the opportunity to sit on a bike! Haha...that was fun. We had service yesterday and many who greeted me and ask of how am I getting use to this place.
"Boring leh" thats thier first question to me..hahaa..
I do miss my previous working colleugues back at home, lots of fun in relating with one another. Here, everyone is serious at work. The best part of here is that I get to go home for lunch or rest during my break time! How cool is that, but there is no where else to go.

On Tuesday, I had a friend Eric to visit me here at Muar, what a welcome from KL. Thanks Eric at least I wouldn't feel so out of place on my first day here:)

Today is my dad's birthday, its his first birthday which I am unable to celebrate with him. I miss him dearly, so much...
I LOVE YOU DAD!

Life at Muar

2009-01-05T21:53:00.000-08:00

This is my second day at Muar. Got all my stuff unpack yesterday and having my clothes cupboard falling apart almost 10 times just annoyed me SO MUCH!
But its pretty settled well here now.

This morning, Susanne (My house mate) and Me went to the seaside, it was almost a 45 minutes walk. We had to walk at the dusty road with lots of trucks moving on the main road, and then suddenly a different breeze arrived, the sea and nature breeze. It was so windy that my unbrella would go on another direction, but it was a fun walk almost half of Muar town.
The feeling of here in Muar is like a village . It reflects memories back at Batu Pahat where I use to visit and miss. I did had the thought of wanting to stay at Batu Pahat when I was younger ( another small town an hour away from Muar), the smell of the town and city is without comparison, quiet peaceful and without haste.

Well, it seems to me like I am on a holiday rather than having to stay here for good ...!! Which is good then I wouldn't get home sick YET!~ hopefully~

One thing here which I can't adapt still is the HEAT! Wouldn't want to go out often in this weather or I'll be tanned.

This is my new chapter and its so encourage to hear stories of others, how the Lord brought them here to Muar serving together in All Nation Santuatry.

God has choosen a company of people for Himself in fullilling His works in every part of this nation and wherever you are and whatever your do, you are meant for greater heights for THE KINGDOM DESTINY. Each one carries a calling from the Lord, even I might not know why God has brought forth me here but this is a "Journey of Miracle". As you walked with Him, He will open up pathways for you which you nver ever would imgine or think. This is my Faith and the secret of how it works!:)

God's Sovereign Hand

2008-12-19T22:45:00.000-08:00

God's Sovereign Hand is upon us. Knowing this sets our faith upon Him. Faith is believing , speaking and acting it! With this, our prayers will have prevailing powers. Nothing could stop us in acquiring our legal rights as sons and daughters of God.

We must know what we carry in us. Pray with selfless motives, having a vission and passion for others, for the Lord. Just like Hannah, when she prayed the prayer"Give me a child for you". After many years of being barren, finally she has come to a point when " it was enough, no more pain of not having a child!" There is where she began to pour out her whole self to God realizing that it is not her desire or for others, but it is for GOD's KINGDOM.

Uprising Generations

Laffy's Day

2008-11-29T23:03:00.000-08:00

Laffy giving "The Word"

Uncle Shien with the "big and small" kids

We have a special speaker to preach this Sunday-"Pastor Laffy"

Her sermon inspires:
How to advance God's Kingdom?
1)Connect to the destiny of God.
How are we to connect?
a)Connect to the set man of the House
Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you Shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.

b)We are to submit under authority
Hebrews 13:17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief for that would be unprofitable for you

c)We must honor the man of God
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another

2)We must change our mind thinking and mind set need to change.
Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

3)We must grow strong in the dimension of the Spirit and Word.
We need to flow in one frequency when the proceeding word comes, we must hold on and believe it and move on towards His Word. Build on nothing else except the Word of God.

4)To be a son ship of the house.
Whatever the set man has, it would be pass on to "SONS"
Legacy is more than inheritance that can be seen.
Legacy can be transfer; Inheritance is to be partake.

Laffy has been a tremendous blessing to everyone here in Triumphant Christian Centre, seeing her grow in spritual statue and being able to pass her legacy to the younger generations has impact many lives. Not forgetting Uncle Shien as well, a man with such tender servant heart. He is like a big huggy bear "Father" ..hahaha

Primary School Gathering

2008-11-29T22:53:00.000-08:00

Hartamas Mamak

Emergency gathering! Was wondering what kind or urgent matters that requires us to get together. Teck Leong, your text makes people JUMP!..haha..anyway, its great to be able to get together at the last minute notice, as we always have gatherings when someone is back from overseas or going to overseas, outstation or festive seasons.
Getting together is just fun having to reflect back all the nonsense we did when we were younger! Each one has some mark of trade!

The "Kim's" Geneology

2008-11-06T18:20:00.000-08:00

~The Origin of the surname Kim~

This is an interesting research done on our descendants
"Kim" is the most common Korean name, almost 22 percent of Korea's population carries this surname. In Korea unlike China and Japan has a far smaller number of surname. In fact the "big four" surnames-Kim , Park , Lee and Choi dominates the scene.

The big four surnames were adopted by commoners in the course of Korean history since these surnames were simply perceived to be of blue blood. These names were also sometimes bestowed upon loyal servants by royalty or nobility. The Kim and Park clans were royal clans of the ancient Silla Kingdom.

I know my grandfather came from Hainan Island (China), but way before my grandfather, it might have a way back geneology of history background from Korea until my ancestor migrated from places to places till we finally reach here in Malaysia !

Anyway, I am a Malaysian Now!

I know many has questions to ask and wondering why is that so....? On my future journey.

Here is something which has deeply touch my heart.
"In fulfilling the cooperate destiny, our lives will then come into the purpose of God"

I had to make sacrifices for this course. Initially I had many plans in pursuing my studies overseas and had almost and determined to enter in a work and study programme which would offer me a great deal of opportunities.
I am not sure why does it all happen but I believe that God wants me to fulfill His Blueprint for my life.
It seems riduculous to me as well, when i had everything plan out and its all gone with the wind!
It might seems simple and dull to hear a kind of life which I would be going along side but this can't be justify physically, you would need to see them in God's Spirit. That is what I truly believe!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR CONCERNS AND LOVES...
WITH MUCH LOVE AND PRAYERS...

My dear Colleagues

2008-10-17T01:46:00.000-07:00

Its been a two weeks of farewells, my dear colleagues, Kak Wan, Kak Saja, and Jaymie. They have been the best support of working team. I would miss all of you a lot. Hope to catch up really soon. All the best!

HEALINGS.

2008-09-15T18:55:00.000-07:00

There are so many who has fall sick this month...
To Those Who Are Sick.

2 Corinthians 4:16
"Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day."

When we allow the Holy Spirit to dwell within us in full measure, He will give life to our mortal body and quicken it with life. Thus our physical body can rejuvenate itself into strength and vitality.

God prolongs our lives as our body is quickened with new strength and life. We are getting further and further from our appointment with death and live longer to testify of His goodness.

Rom 8:2
"For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death."

Breakthrough Thinking

2008-09-08T17:55:00.000-07:00

This is exciting..!!
Yesterday, my brother came and took me home from work. We discuss on his plans as he is planning to go to UK on Holiday and working visa for 3 months as his initial plans to start a bussiness in Taiwan with my cousin brother failed.
As we were talking, I shared to him about the managing finances and that he needs to breakthrough in managing finance, to my surprise he never avoid the conversation nor get fired up as whenver I get into such conversation about principles of God, he wld shun me off.
He listen attentively, and recieving it with good spirit. I am glad we talked well. In a short moment before reaching home, suddenly a call came to my brother and it was his ex boss offering him a job for 2 months with a fairly high pay as well. This is the work of God! It came so timely.
"This is because you have the right spirit in listening and God is honoring you.!" See how the Lord works and we are praying for you always.!"
"Like what you are thinking, why on earth she called you and not anyone else?"
Eden said: "Yeah, you are right!"
I said: "You better honor God by giving back your tithes to Him."
Eden just give a little smile.

MY LESSSON
It was not only my brother having lessons to learn. I learned something from him as well in our sharing. He thought me a breakthrough mindset of being an employee.. This is so true and made me think in deeply. His sharing sank in my heart.
And made me determine something which would be a drastic step.

REALITY STORY:
William works for a advertising company. He is in the sales department which he would get sales and close the deal for the company. He gets 2 percent commision for every sale he does.
Think about this, every close deal the company earns RM 50,000. 2 percent commission is RM 2,000. The balance of Rm 48,000 goes to the boss earnings.
You get the sale but someone else gets the profit.

Analyize this....

This is what blown me! You spend so much time and energy working for others but all you get is peanuts, why not have spend as much time as you do in working for others and accomplish so much more not only for yourself but for others as well!

This parable just came in reveltaion. Remember the story where the master gave the same wages to a servant who work lesser time than the rest of the servant who work more time.

Next Step...

2008-09-03T19:25:00.000-07:00

Good News...people...

David finally told his parents about us! Some of you who is still wondering what is it all about...haha..find out on our next episode.

International Youth Conference In Muar

2008-09-03T18:45:00.000-07:00

17th August - 23rd August (IYC)

A total of 8 of us from my church went for the International Youth Conference at Muar. The conference was conducted by Dr Jonathan David. This year theme was Generation Transition and Personal Transformation. Youths from 11 different countries came and it was awesome to see every youths from every nation worshiping together as one, without any boundaries from cultures, backgrounds but we were able to speak the same language in the Spirit.

We were separated in age groups. Mine was the oldest "25 Years old". We had 6 of us in the group- Josephine Gan was our team leader, Michelle, Helen(the nurse), Ann, Tarleeann and me(of course!).
Every morning before the session starts we would discuss on what we have learned the previous days and share and encourage one another, praying and declaring every word that was spoken.

I enjoyed the finance workshop which was conducted by Brother Raymond. He was in 300,000 debts few years back because of failling to manage his finance accurately.
This words spoke right through "Why do you need to make money" If it is for yourself that is a total wrong intention! The purpose of making money is not for yourself but the mindset or thinking pattern needs to be change to making money for God's Kingdom here in this world. The true reason why many Christians are not able to rise beyond financially is that they do not see the higher call of God's destiny for us "His sons and daughters". By right we have our legal rights to all inheritances of his world because God owns everything here, but we are striving every ounce of our blood just to earn a living. It is more than that leh..
How could life be so DULL.

Rise up beyond that. Look beyond that future. God is trans-generational is His plans and purposes. He gave Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David...and many generations down the road the same inheritance of the earth. As we keep the ways of the Lord by doing righteouness and justice, we would be that generation that will carry on the baton of our father.

Finally, I pass...

2008-06-19T19:42:00.000-07:00

Yippi!! Goal! I finally graduated, passing my DIP ABRSM in teaching. Praise the Lord, a little part of His destiny is fullfilled, more to be accomplish in His time. I am just relieved after a few years of struggling and fighting... But we are builders and fighters!

Honesty Pays Off

2008-03-02T05:33:00.000-08:00

My dad, stepmum and me were going out for our dinner on Sunday evening, when my dad had to drop by at Crown Princess to pay the balance of a person's buffet, as they had a group buffet gathering last Thursday and one went to the toilet as a result they miss calculate a head.
While we were waiting for him at a parking lot for about 5 minutes, we saw my dad walking towards the car with a smile on his face, my stepmum ask him" what is with that smile?'' "The assistant manager said why not you have the buffet while you pay the balance of the other day, but I told him my wife and daughter is waiting down there, so he said ok, ask them to go for the buffet as well."
So we ended up having buffet at Crown Princess. All 3 of us for the free!

Here is how the whole story goes:
My dad: I come to pay the balance of the last Thursday buffet, as there were a total of 13 person but the waitress miss calculated to 12 person, as one went to the toilet. I was busy last week so didn;t manage to come back, that was why I had to come today.

Superviser: Oh, you came all the way just to pay this?

My dad: Yeah I came all the way from Sri Gombak

Supervisor: Well, since you are so honest and came all the way, why not you have a free buffet?

My dad: But my wife and daughter are with me, and they are waiting for me.

Supervisor: Ask them to come as well and 3 of you can have buffet dinner, you just need to pay for one person.

My dad: ok.

Being righteous pays off!!!

A model for a day......

Like this!

I went for a studio modeling shot today, a lady did some make up for me, she was really fast as in comparison to other make up artist I had before. After the make up followed by a camera guy who brought me down to the studio a floor lower. He started to set up the background and took some clear shots, then the posing began.

camera man:"...straight, turn, side ways a bit....thats it thats it.... !"
me:"like that?

camera man:"look there, smile...thats it...

camera man:"ok change clothes."

me:"No, i don't want any fur pls, something simple."

Finally he made me a cow gal.

I didn't realize it was so tedious to do a pose, but the camera man was really good, he knows how to take the right angle and shots!

It was exhausting but it was fun..! Especially when the photos are out! I enjoyed it!

Cow gal
The end.

2008-02-18T22:07:00.000-08:00

Chapter eleven; page 117, this sentence tinkled- "We want to back to being loved in the old familiar ways that allowed us to remain emotionally unchallenged and internally unchanged."
How true it is! We go to church, smile a lot, say nice things, work hard and being helpful and kind, have manners at our dinner table, social skills. That makes us proud of ourself, others are made happy of our behavior changed, and we declare it a success and to our contentment.
But is that all? "In spite of our recent breakthrough, the bewildering hand signals don't stop."

The true love of a Teacher is that He wants us free to venture back out into life's risky, loveless waters-taking His love with us as we go, to speak the language of His heart.

Press on to know the Lord! And you learn the vibrant language of His heart!

Road house Gill

Jalan Ampang
We had a family lunch after service today on my treat! Reason I brought my family there was because the food is great and the price are reasonable as well. I remember the first time I ate there was when one of dear friend and her husband brought me there for dinner. Although I pass through that place frequently but never ever thought of eating there as the external looks pricy-"don't judge the outside for its inside". The most unique thing about the place is that they serve you free flow of groundnuts and you are to throw the nut shell on the floor! Enjoy the food below, but to taste best, you must go there! You will never regret!

CNY Wishes

2008-02-07T08:05:00.000-08:00

This year as usual we never went back Batu Pahat for CNY, my most memoriable childhood days there. I like going back, at times I would just take a bus and go back by my own. It's as though half of my heart is there.

I just loved that place very much. The sound of the workers working beside the house in the afternoon, the places and shops around the town, the food that my uncle always buy back for supper, and most of all the memories that would never ever returned.

Its a fantanstic place to visti, would recommend to go there for 2 day trip for its authentic food and shopping!! I like shopping there:)

Gosh, she is wild as "BEAUTY BEAST" when comes to her meal and male, but so not a photo Ginni. Animals are often stupefied by cameras. Her name is Betsy, all she does is sleep and bark for food when its 6pm sharp! She doesn't even bark when strangers come in, just imagine visitors don't eveh realize we had a dog at the front porch.

One for all, all for one! Sum it all up from my dad's speech. We had a music appreciation on the night of 30th at Concord Hotel. I was delighted on the beautiful settings of the private room, filled with redness of cherish.
Everyone dressed up gorgeously which was the highlight of the day, every guy wore coats and were groomed well, and the ladies could make your mouth dropped!
The night ended with the greatest joke of all where 2 guys apologize using their bottom to say "I am sorry" for being very late! Served them right! As it was a lousy excuse for being late! But they learned their lesson....i hope...

Just me....!

2008-01-04T22:09:00.000-08:00
