感谢主, 是我 。之一

3月20 日,公司邀请全体普通职员到吉隆玻市中心的一间酒店,参加一年一度的“副经理大会”。

身为一个再普通不过的职员的我,当然要出席。
昨晚大约十点才开晚会的我,在隔天早上提着两个熊猫眼出席。
大清早,礼志的车锁匙没有电池了,开不了车上班。
因为可以迟一点上班,所以就载他去换。


匆匆忙忙的抵达酒店, 迟了个15分钟。同事一见到就说迟到啦! (你管!)
找到淑凌后,没有胃口。但是同事还是叫我吃一点。好吧,就一点。。。吃吃下,满不错。吃了两轮。
直到晚上的晚餐开始时,胃口还是不是很好。 整个胃好像掉掉似的。

回家,没有入睡前,上了两次的厕所。就吃了个暹罗药粉。传送了个短讯给淑凌, 看他回到家了没有,顺便问他有没有此症状。他表示还好。
晚上又上了两次的厕所,又去服了暹罗药粉。
顿时,整个人开始发冷,呆不了冷气房,抓了个棉被,到客厅的沙发上睡。
大热天气,室温将近26.5度。不开风扇,盖着厚厚的棉被,整个人开始发起抖来。
快要支持不住时,打了个电话求救。还好有礼志在,他让我服了发烧药后,就比较好了。
但是,还是不停的上厕所。
隔天,我已经泻得浑身无力了。只好要妈妈打电话给教会的姐妹,载我去看医生。
服了药,又泻了几次,以为以下子会好了。
礼志打电话来,问我可不可以吃蛋糕? --- 我的生日。不行,没有胃口。
晚上, 吃什么,呕吐什么。而且又再次泻得糊里糊涂。
半夜,上厕所的次数,折腾得我死去活来。
隔天早上,我一贫乏无力了, 躺在床上不能动弹。
姐姐建议我去医院了。我也没有办法, 就问同事进院手续。
揭发了原来已经好几位同事也有同样的征兆了。
礼志没有上班,载了我和妈妈去了附近的医院。

What'd Jesus Changed in me?

I once doubted. I've heard so many testimonies from fellow brothers and sisters telling how Jesus changed in their lives. I was so excited and jealous of their "change". I was once doubled of mine.

They testified that after accepting Christ as their saviour, they changed a lot ... changed better of course. I was so jealous and kept asking myself. "What about me?"

Yesterday, when I prayed. I gained the answer.


I started thinking of my past, who am I as a kid at kinder garden school, primary school, secondary school, college and University. How I changed and what had changed?

When I was in Kinder Garden school until mid of college, I was a quiet person. I was tame, shy, harmless, terifying, no confidence... I am a normal me, just normal and tasteless. Until mid of college, when after I accepted Christ as my personal savior. Without notice, I was elected as course representative amongst the hundreds. Maybe they are not interested to be and not bother to compete with me? But I took it as a blessing from God- the first experience of my unforgetable journey. It helped to overturn my past into a new me, overturned shy me into a cheerful me.

Today, I might not the best, but I know I am a "better" me, for sure. I am blessed... so blessed. I am unworthy to accept so many blessing poured upon me. I know He gives it to me by using His blood to exchange. Keep cleansing me within... I could not do anything without His direction, I could not think properly if He does not grant me wisdom, I could not perform myself without His blessing...Thank you, Jesus, to walk with me all along the journey. In winter, spring, summer and Autumn...

I could only be a tasteless me, if I am alone today.

爱、喜乐、生命

时空不能隔绝祂的爱
因祂爱我直到万代

世界不能阻挡祂的爱
因祂爱我永不更改

祂的爱胜过死亡阴霾
祂的爱驱走忧愁悲哀


让主爱浇灌我们的心
喜乐泉源涌自心底
忧愁不再 我们有喜乐的生命

让主爱充满我们的心
生命火花扬自心底
泪水不再 我们有永恒的生命

为我摆设宴席

三月十日, 妈妈,姐姐和我一起回太平。
参加我的幼稚园同学-吴湄铃的婚宴。
婚宴在广东会馆举行。
遇见了蛮多中学同学,
因为湄铃是我的幼稚园同学, 同样也是我的小学和中学同学。
尤其是小学的时候,和他形影不离。
小学同学里最熟悉的有湄铃,秋琳,慧彬和丽佩。
慧彬和丽佩在今年的三月初都结了婚。
湄铃就是在三月十一日。
慧彬和湄铃的婚宴都有出席。
惟缺席了丽佩的婚宴。真的很难想象丽佩结婚咧。
以前最男人婆的就是他,很意外。
当然,缺席并不是我太吃惊, 而是真的临时抽不出时间回太平。
湄铃的是因为他在去年的十一月就一直在提醒,哈哈!
我看, 秋琳和我要加把劲了!哈哈!

还是交托神吧, 唯有他知道哪一个时间是最适合的。

My Own Tang Lung

Here you are my Tang Lung I made and created, with a little help from Ah Heng, my churchmate.

I came out with the design. Ah Heng helped me to tie the structure of the tang lung and also the electrical parts. My mom also helped me to make the flowers around the tang lung.






This is how it looks from inside.

This is the content inside the Tang Lung.

The fish at the bottom is actually a fishing toy which Lizhi bought it from Tesco. When you switch it on, the pond will turn clockwise. So the paper I sticked on the pond will turn as well. For the paper, I cut it with butterflies pattern along the paper, with the sequence up and down. And, I put a small light bulb in the middle, when you switched it on, you can see the butterflies flying down and up.






This is how it looks like at dark. Sorry, no video clip can be shown. I should take it down ya... but unfortunately I've already threw it away. It happened when my sister used her sharp eyes looked at me at the sping clean at home, asking me how should I do with this tang lung. Poor tang lung ... wu..wu.....

McDonald's Tops Starbucks in Coffee Taste Test

When Consumer Reports magazine compared coffee from mega-chain Starbucks with java from three fast-food restaurants, the surprising winner was – McDonald’s. The magazine had trained tasters sample a medium cup of black coffee from McDonald’s, Burger King, Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks, and found the best cup of joe under the golden arches. McDonald’s coffee "beat the rest,” according to Consumer Reports. It was "decent and moderately strong. Although it lacked the subtle top notes needed to make it rise and shine, it had no flaws.” As for Starbucks, its coffee "was strong, but burnt and bitter enough to make your eyes water instead of open.” © NewsMax 2007. All rights reserved. ~ After this article published, a lot of comments replied from Starbucks's fan at http://starbucksgossip.typepad.com/_/2007/02/consumer_report.html ~ Phew.... take it easy...

Christians

By Maya Angelou
When I say...
"I am a Christian"I'm not shouting,
"I'm clean living'."I'm whispering,
"I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven.
"When I say... "I am a Christian"I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
And need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... "I am a Christian"I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.
When I say... "I am a Christian"I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say... "I am a Christian"I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.
When I say... "I am a Christian"I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say... "I am a Christian"I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!
Share this with somebody who already has this understanding, as reinforcement.
But more importantly, share this with those who do not have a clear understanding of what it means to be a Christian, so that the myth that Christians think they are "perfect" or "better than others” can be dispelled.
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela

那些花儿

I found this song, nice and sweet, by Faye Wong. But originally is from 钰迪

钰迪-那些花儿
作词:朴树作曲:朴树
-------

那片笑声让我想起
我的那些花儿
在我生命每个角落
静静为我开着
我曾以为我会永远守在他身旁
今天我们已经离去
在人海茫茫
他们都老了吧?
他们在哪里呀?
幸运的是我
曾陪她们开放
啦………想她.
啦………她还在开吗?
啦………去呀!
她们已经被风吹走散落在天涯

有些故事还没讲完
那就算了吧
那些心情在岁月中
已经难辨真假
如今这里荒草丛生
没有了鲜花好在
曾经拥有你们的春秋和冬夏

Why Go To Church?

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all." This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: "I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this.. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!" *Author unknown

We traveled on 24 Feb 2007 (Saturday) at 8.30am, and all cars met at Sg Buloh Jejantas Restaurant to be departed together. Thank Jee Jin for his walkie-talkie as we really had fun with it! Here are the picture when we just arrived in P.Pinang. Had Been argueing to look for a place to have lunch, end of the day, the "places" argued about was the same "place". We stopped to have our lunch at this "Shua Tao Lane". The place is new and clean, hope it can keep it's image and cleanliness in the next few years. Hope the authority can work harder to do maintanance and repair if any necessary. After lunch, gang was sent back to accomodation which has been arranged by Zenas. It is a good place to stay, as the beach is just at the corner, cool! Here is the picture taken by Algene, good shot! The accomodation named as "Stella Maris", somewhere near to Golden Sand Restaurant, Tanjung Bunga. Here is the group photo we took at night at Zenas and Le Hui's wedding dinner.
