Writing Notes

Oh my..another round again..
Haha..i am buried in writing CET notes again.
No materials at all, so have to start from scratch. Haha..thank God for internet that i could get some ideas & come out with the course syllabus first.

Oh my..no related books on the Miracles of Christ in the church library.
BUT thank God for TCA library where i managed to borrow couple of books & started to write my very first lesson.
Though the process is tedious, i sort of enjoyed it because it pushes me to the limit of learning & feels the sense of achievement upon completion. Haha..it reminded me those thriled feelings when i first penned the notes of modern cults.

Today my eyelids are so heavy after staring at the screen for hours, not forgetting that i woke up at the killer hour of 3am by sending my two aunts off to the airport. Of course, cannot sleep a wink at all upon return then next got to prepare myself for work liao.
Haha..i need my power nap :D BUT i thank God for the joy within me that sustained me through the whole day.
The joy of the Lord is our strength!

Countdown

3 more days to go before we welcome 2010..
Haha..before i welcome that, i have to finish my last project of the year: Thanksgiving Night :D
Not sure how it is going to turn out but i guess that doesn't matter since God will be in charge & He is in control.
Come to think of it, i have not gone for night cycling for ages. I must say it was fun but that was in the past because i am still young & energetic. Haha..nowadays, i cannot dong through late hours & by 3am, i will be seeing stars & moon liao. This year, my bro invited me to join them for night cycling. Though my spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak. Sure cannot take it one, so better 有自知自明,自有量力. Go for supper still can, but not the challenging night cycling. Haha..i do miss cycling. One of these days, i will bring the kids to east coast for cycling :)

It has been a fruitful 2009 for me in terms of making new friendships, knowing new people, taking up the masters program for my biblical studies, travelling to new countries & of course growing deeper in my spiritual walk. God is truly faithful.
People ask me "How come you can travel so often?" I guess the only answer to give is "God is faithful. As long as i do His work & trust in His provision, He will bless me & grant me the desires of my heart. I still can enjoy life with God as my Senior Partner."
My friends, though we are counting down in the number of days, yet we can count even much more of His blessings in our lives.
Count His blessings :D

New Image

One day ago i was celebrating Christmas in church & with friends.
The next moment, Christmas came & went off silently.
Probably you would still hear carols ringing about in the shopping centres, but i tell you sooner or later, you would welcome the rhythm of CNY songs. Haha..one moment ago was busy shopping for Christmas gifts, then next moment i would be looking out for new year clothes.
If i am not wrong, i did not get any new clothing for the last two CNY. Guess i would look for something new, bright & probably clothes that i may have never tried before in the coming year. Haha..make 2010 a happening one by working on my attire. How about that?

Haha..i would also have to start working on my hair liao. The curls are almost gone, the colour too. The only thing never gone is the length of the hair. Oops..better do something as i think my hair is out of shape & out of form liao. Hmm..but i hate to go to the salon leh because you would have to spend hours there perming, cutting, washing, dyeing the hair. Well, bo bian lor..要美就要牺牲咯!就是这样的啦!!

Haha..suddenly just thought of this carol "you better watch out, you better think twice.."
Haha..i guess u all want me to change my image right?

Editing Photos

Haha..really long overdue photos!
Guess what? They are all piling up.
The Beijing holiday ones..then the Taiwan ones..then still got my India mission trip ones.
Wah can die man..must really get it done before the year ends else people will "haunt" after me :)
The moral of the story is DON'T ACCUMULATE!
Haha..like me now.."suffer" to do editing for the tons of photos
* faint faint *

Spent the whole morning editing, rearranging & renaming them. What is this man? Can't believe that i am doing this on Christmas eve. Haha..i shall press on & get this done :p

Hmm..thinking of investing in a good camera as the present one has served me for the last 3 years.
Should i or should i not? Hmm..

Princess and the Frog

Decided to bring my godson Gabriel to watch "Princess and the Frog".
Haha..not sure if he understands or even asks his famous question "Why?"
Me: Gab, when you watch the movie later hor, don't keep asking me "why" hor?
Gab: Why, godma?
Me: * faint * Gab, i just told you not to ask "why" right? Haha..but ok lah, godma allows you to ask 5 "why" during the show.
Gab: Godma, i think no need lah.
Me: But why?
Gab: Godma, you just told me not to ask "Why" and now you asked me again!!
Me: * faint *

Haha..that's Gab! Always so entertaining & amusing. True enough. He didn't ask too many "why". Instead asked me "Godma, what time does it end ah? How come the show so long?" Haha..really win liao, but well at least i did something different with him.

Also had a good time with Jiawen & Jiajia :D
Haha..found an overgrown daughter for ps aaron & grace. Gab's chinese name is kaiwen,chloe's is yingwen & gaius's is shaowen. Then Lebbillie's is jiawen, so she is the lost found sister of the low kids. Hahaaaaaa...

Young

Being young is a cool thing but not a privilege.
Because everrryoooone will outlive being young & graduate into the adulthood.
One thing i personally felt that can be secured is BEING YOUNG AT HEART.
We may grow old physically, yet we can keep ourselves at a young mode.
However, while keeping yourself in a young mode, you must strike a balance of being YOUNG & MATURE. You cannot be young, yet not growing mature. We should be growing in statute.




I guess it's how you want your life to be. For me, i chose to keep my heart young at heart, so that i can stay tuned with the young people & build the bridge with them. At the same time, i will not stop growing in statute so that i can minister to young people with God's wisdom & maturity.
