Flower Arranging for Sunday Sevice - Baptism

This is the flower arrangement I made on last Sunday. Thank God for the wisdom and guidance for this arranging. I have no clue at all when I started, since this is the first time I do the flower arrangement. I always wanted to do it, but I do not have the chance and I've got no motivation to do it. Thank God for the opportunity and the guidance.


I hope I can do more in the future... let this gifted to glorify Your name.

Busy week

Ya, busy busy busy ... After making the decision, or I would say after I woke up from the comfort moment, walking towards the crowd. I am getting busier and busier. I do not have time to stop as a lot of works to do!

Started with the preparation of Mooncake Festival in Tai Sun Supermarket. I could not finish the editing of the pictures and entry forms as the hour I work in Tai Sun not much. So I had to bring it back to work at night... until I slept on the bed with the light on. I was so tired... next day, started again as Ivy coming to pick the laptop up early in the morning! Gosh... after finishing and passing it over, I rushed to work in London Road. Phew~

We have a few new comers coming last few weeks ago. They are students from China and now studied in Sheffield Hallam University. They came to our student fellowship and helping in cooking. Although they are non-believers, but I am really appreciated their helps in serving each other. There are particularly two young ladies, Laura and Xiao Kha. They are sweet and cute, yet they always help in the kitchen and serving the food. As the student fellowship started a bible study for beginner, it is a good bible class for these new comers, as we read a few bible verses and then start the discussion together and tell them the story behind the verses. It is indeed a good study group, and I joined them yesterday. They are also taking initiative to ask questions.

Thank God... the class has also brushed my bible knowledge, the verses and the meaning of it. I heard them before, it implanted under my vain, yet I let them sleep inside me so long ago. I have to dig it out, and polish them, to share with others... the blessing have to pass over.


Do you know? There is a God, the only true God, the Holy Holy Holy...

Renee's wedding day

Yes, today is her wedding with Alex Lee.










The registration started at 10.30am, but they were late about 15 minutes. There was a little surprise that towards the end of the registration, the fire alarm started to 'beep' and it was quite distracting. It beeped for about 10 minutes and one of the staffs open the door and asked the registration officer that had we finished the registration, and 'choo' us out of the building. So Alex and Renee walked out of the Town Hall with a bunch of people who ran away from the building.

After the registration, we went for photo shooting at Peace Garden. Then we went to Dim Sum Restaurant to have reception lunch. At the beginning of the lunch, Renee suggested to start with a prayer. She invited Aunty Ruth to do it for us. While at the mid of the reception, Aunty Ruth, Choau Choak and I, and of cox together with Renee, sang for 3 songs. First song is a cantonese song -“爱你一生”, is a song dedicated by Renee to her husband. Second song is “爱是无尽头” and the third song is "Amazing Love".

After the songs, I have to go as I still have to go back to work. I was late! Aunty Ruth and Choau Choak also went with me.

May God continue to guide and bless this couple. God, please open their heart and eyes to see the LOVE from You, because you are the source of LOVE, you are LOVE. Without you, we couldn't do anything ...~

By God's Grace

Time flies...!

I read Lizhi's email, he wrote an email to me with "6th July, 4 more days to 1 month, 23 months to go!" Indeed, God do things we never know, in His own marvelous way. Now, 1 week more to go, Lizhi is flying over this coming Saturday. We do not need to wait for 23 months more as we planned, His will is higher than our will, His mind is higher than our mind.


Out of no where, suddenly a company contacted Lizhi to have a telephone interview month ago. HE applied a job in that company early of this year, and we never thought that one day God will make a way on this. Although Lizhi told me that he wasn't do very well in the telephone interview. But I told him, I have the peace in my heart and I think he will get the chance to go for the 2nd interview. The 2nd interview, which mean he will fly over to UK for the interview, indeed the company will pay for the expenses. Praise the Lord! He got it. It's by God's grace, all by His grace...

As what I did in my interview at community centre. I did badly. Yet, if we did it good, we will never give back all the honour to God. We will think that we are so smart and clever! In fact, God want to show us His mighty power and everything in control. Yes, thank God for his guidance and lesson given. Or else, it will be what Rev Stephen Tong said, " I've stolen the honour from God", he used the word of "stolen", because this is not what we do, what we can do, what we want to do; but Holy Spirit guiding us to accomplish every task, with strength given from above.

心靈雞湯 - 每個女人都漂亮

A little boy asked his mother “Why are you crying?”
一個男孩問他的媽媽:「妳為什麼要哭呢?」

“Because I’m a woman.” she told him.
媽媽說:「因為我是女人啊!」

“I don’t understand.” he said.
男孩說:「我不懂。」

His mum just hugged him and said, “And you never will”
他媽媽抱起他說:「你永遠也不會懂。」

Later the little boy asked his father,
“Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?”
後來小男孩就問他爸爸:「媽媽為什麼毫無理由地哭呢?」

“All women cry for no reason,” was all his dad could say.
「所有女人都這樣。」他爸爸回答。

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
小男孩長成了一個男人,但仍舊不懂女人為什麼哭泣。

Finally he put in a call to God; and when God got on ! the phone,
he asked, “God, why do women cry so easily?”
最後,他打電話給上帝;當上帝拿起電話時,他問道:
「上帝,女人為什麼那麼容易哭泣呢?」

God said: “When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give comfort”
上帝回答說:「當我創造女人時,讓她很特別。
我使她的肩膀能挑起整個世界的重擔;並且又柔情似水。

“I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up,
and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining”
我賦予她耐心,使她在別人放棄的時候繼續堅持,
並且無怨無悔地照顧自己的家人,渡過疾病和疲勞。

“I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly”
我賦予她在任何情況下都愛孩子的感情,
即使她的孩子傷透了她的心。

“I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart”
我賦予她包容她丈夫過錯的堅強,
並用他的勒骨塑造她來保護他的心。

“I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife,
but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly”
我賦予她智慧,讓她知道一個好丈夫是絕不會傷害他的妻子的,
但有時我也會考驗她支持自己丈夫的決心和堅強。

“And finally, I gave her a tear to shed.
This is hers exclusively touse whenever it is needed.”
最後,我讓她可以流淚。
只要她願意,這是她所獨有的。

“You see: The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.”
你看,女人的漂亮不是因為她穿的衣服、
她保持的體型,或者她梳頭的方式。

“The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart the place where love resides.”
女人的漂亮必須從她的眼睛中去看,
因為那是她心靈的窗戶和愛所在之處。」

Every Woman is Beautiful.
每一個女人都漂亮。

WHY by Nicole Nordeman



We rode into town the other day,
just me and my Daddy.
He said I'd finally reached that age,
and I could ride next to him on a horse
that of course was not quite as wide
We heard a crowd of people shouting
and so we stopped to find out why
There was that man that my dad said he loved,
but today there was fear in his eyes

So I said Daddy why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe?
I bet that crown hurts him
more than he shows
Daddy please can't you do something?
He looks as if he's going to cry
You said he is stronger than all of those guys
Daddy please tell me why,
why does everyone want him to die?

Later that day the sky grew cloudy
and daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy,
boy was he right
But I could not keep from wondering
if there was something that he had to hide
So after he left I had to find out,
I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowds to a hill
where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from a cross:
And it said:

Father why are they screaming.
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for my clothes??
This crown of thorns
hurts me much more than it shows,
Father please can't you do something?
I know that you must hear my cry
I thought I could handle a cross of this size,
Father remind me why,
why does everyone want me to die.
When will I understand why?

My precious Son,
I hear them screaming.
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming
but soon I will clothe you in robes of my own.
Jesus this hurts me more than you know
But this dark hour I must do nothing.
Though I've heard your unbearable cry
the power in your blood destroys all the lies,
soon you'll see past their unmerciful eyes.
Look there below see the child
trembling by her father's side.
Now I can tell you why,
she is why you must die.

Bless the Broken Road - Rascal Flatts

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

Circle of Friends by Point of Grace




We were made to love and be loved
But the price this world demands will cost you far too much
I spent so many years just trying to fit in
Now Ive found a place in this circle of friends

In a circle of friends we have one father
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
That every orphaned soul will know
And all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

If you weep, I will weep with you
If you sing for joy the rest of us will lift our voices too
But no matter what you feel inside theres no need to pretend
Thats the way it is in this circle of friends

In a circle of friends
We have one father
In a circle of friends we share this prayer

That well gather together no matter how the highway bends
I will not lose this circle of friends

Among the nations,
tribes and tongues we have sisters and brothers
And when we meet in heaven we will recognize each other
With joy so deep and love so sweet
Oh well celebrate these friends
And a life that never ends
In a prayer

That will not be long before
All will enter in To the shelter of this circle of friends

That it will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

NegaraKu ~

Yesterday at the end of the student fellowship, a few brothers told a group of new-comer who are from China, that yesterday was Independece Day for Malaysia and would like to sing National Song at the end of bible study. They were very insterested and all sitting in hall to wait for fellow brothers to sing for them. They are so cute!

So those sisters and brothers from Malaysia who finished bible study earlier, have to stand in front to sing "NegaraKu". But as they are too 'smart' and study too long in UK, they actually forgot how to sing their national song. Then Choau Choak wrote it down the lyric for them.

After we sang it, they asked us to translate what we just sang. Hmm, good question. They tried to explain, but found out that a lot of words we do not know the meaning. Can you believe? The bunch of post-graduate... ish ..ish...ish...

But, seriously, when you sing National song, do you know the meaning of whole song? And ... do you mean it? :)
