beautiful children in a night

Last Wednesday, 2nd December, 2009 was my cousin's daughter, Nicole's birthday. It was her 1st birthday and that night was a relaxed dinner with lots of children around. You know me, with my hot pink digital camera, I made use of the opportunity to capture all the beautiful faces of the little children.

My 1st American Thanksgiving Dinner in my life

A few months ago, our church started to have a group of Americans on short term mission. I got to know them as most of them worshipped in our church. They are Katherine, Kelsey, Erika, Jacob & Ellen. Earlier, one of them called Lauren returned home to the US so I didn't get to know her very well.

On 29th November, 2009, I was invited by them to experience their tradisional style of Amercian food and programs. Obviously, they wanted to appreciate us with thanks for helping them in some ways. I wouldn't consider myself helping them alot. Only providing transport occasionally. But I think it's the relationship that has been built up that made them wanna invite me I guess. We, the gals have been to movie together once.

The food was great and it's really sufficient and delicious! Not bad at all! The programs we had was very meaningful too like singing, praying, sharing and music performance.

Praise God! It's really a wonderful way to celebrate thanksgiving.

Christmas decoration at home...

Every year, I make it a point to put up the Christmas decoration early. When I say early, I meant like early November. So that the decoration will be there for at least a month. When I do that, everyone will start to feel the mood of Christmas and my nephews and nieces will start to ask their parents to decorate their homes as well.

Here's the Christmas tree at home. Okay, it fell down twice already since I put up. One pulled down by baby Selwyn and the other time pulled down by Isaac. So I redecorated the tree all over at least twice! Well, that's the bad reason for putting up the tree too early. Other than that, I'll still put up the Christmas tree early next year!

Later on, I added another lightings decoration of a Christmas tree on the window. Beautiful yah? ;)

My sis also has put up Christmas decoration at her home. Here are the photos for you to enjoy!

Christmas video by me on Youtube...

I have done a few Christmas videos few years back. Nowadays I'm so lazy to work on these videos again. It was really fun but tiring also. Once in awhile, I'll play them again and still enjoy the work of my hands.

Well, Christmas is around the corner. So, it's time to watch these videos again. Hope you'll enjoy them again! Maybe, just maybe, I'll make new ones next year.. hehe!

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Met again after 15 years of seperation (Correction: not 18 years)

Iris Ng, my secondary ex-classmate! She left for USA after Pre-U and we never met again! We kept in touch for awhile but then somehow lost touch again. Thanks to Facebook! She found me there and we connected again. I marked in my handphone of the dates she's back home in KK. So the moment she called, I immediately asked, 'Is it Iris?' This time I was anticipating her journey home.

Though we never met all these years, about 5 years ago when she was back in KK we managed to talk on phone. That's when she told me something that I totally forgot. She said I shared with her about the gospel when we were in secondary school. She finally accepted Christ led by others but she believed my sharing with her about the gospel in the beginning has prepared her for the big decision. Today, she's a committed and spirit-filled Christian. I was very encouraged knowing that I have helped a little bit to bring a soul into the Kingdom. All glory to God!

We met today for lunch at UpperStar, Damai. I didn't know I was so resourceful that I actually have a few ex-classmates' contact. First I called Jenny Tan, and she immediately came to UpperStar to meet us. Then I called Helen Ho whom I met a few years ago and she managed to talk to Iris and they will meet up on their own. Finally, I bought Iris to Lim Young Peing's shop which is just nearby and it happened that he was there and we managed to catch up with each other. Since it's such a special occasion, it has been suggested that we will meet up again this Friday for lunch at UpperStar with a few more ex-classmates.

So that's the highlight for today and it's considered a fruitful day!

2012 Movie

Wow! This movie is totally breath-taking. Totally emotionally disturbed. So many exciting scenes that I could not and would not want to lean my back on the chair. I kept thinking, what a terrible way to die! This movie may want to do a warning to humans on global warming but it's definitely not a message of hope. If that's how the world is going to end, how many of us can make it?

Anyway, back to the movie. Here's the good comment. I am totally impressed and amazed at the visual effect and all the technology behind this movie. Wow! All scenes looked so so real! I can't believe the computer nowadays can do that. If you ask me, is it worth to watch? YES! Absolutely! Cause I don't mind paying another RM9 to watch this movie again! Thumbs up!

One of my favourite Bible Teachers

I came to know Pastor Benny Ho few years ago attending a seminar on mentoring in our church. It was a seminar for pastors but then they also opened to layman as well. So I went anyway. Since then, he has been my mentor in the Word of God.

I find his teaching on the Word very balanced, in the sense that what he taught is spiritual at the same time, practical. One of my favourite on his teaching series will be 'Nurturing the Inner Life'. I listened to his CDs in my car, turning my car to a mobile university so that I can hear God's Word all the time. So that I can have more faith by hearing God's Word.

Just wanna honour this man of God for speaking to my life again and again. Thank you, Pastor Benny Ho for allowing God to use you to unveil the truth to the body of Christ.
