Challenge

-Faith is a Conviction of the Things That We Do Not See-

Faith is a daily challenge. It is as common as eating 3 meals a day.

From the day that I graduated from Year Two of SOT (2004), I told myself that I would at least go for a mission trip every year. Time sped past. I'm now in 2006 and I'm brought back to my remembrance that I haven't gone forth with the Word for a year and a half now.

It's not that I have forgotten about my love for missions. My struggle has become much more real and much more intense this year.

I'm aiming for the trip in September this year. I'm struggling because first of all, it's probably going to be Building Fund season and I want to give my best. Secondly, I'm really saving for my wedding fund. These two priorities are enough to tie me down financially. Every week, I would look at the bulletin and see lists of upcoming mission trips and everytime, my heart will wage war within. I want to have more than enough for my wedding. I don't want to struggle with lack.
Finally George couldn't stand my wishy-washyness and said to me to not think so much and just go. He said I should just go first, and then come back and plan for the wedding afterwards.

There is so much truth in what he said. Truth as in I have never seen people who went for mission trips and came back not blessed. I have not. God somehow opens the windows of opportunities for our needs to come through. Truth as in I have gone through numerous building fund campaigns and saw that God provides seed for the sower. Truth as in God has never let me down. Truth as in it is true that there has first to be a sowing before a reaping.

And so, I have decided to save up for the mission trip in September. As I made the decision, I could feel a relief and a smile in my heart. It feels good. Pray with me my dear friends towards the realisation of my heart's desire.

I just bought this kitty pouch yesterday...hee guess what am I going to use it to contain? There is a prize for guessing. (The pouch is the size of my palm) ":p

Socks Galore!

I'm amazed, truly amazed.

Well, because if you know Huiling, you know that she does not wear sports shoes AT ALL. And if she does, it's only about ONCE A YEAR.

Guess what she always receive as gifts? SOCKS!!! There aren't many pairs here, but considering I'll probably wear only one of the pairs here like once a year, I'm living in abundance!! Please don't get me wrong, I like it as present, because I'm believing I'll be more sporty one day. One day.

Ps. I do appreciate socks as a gift, so thanks to all of you who has faith in me! Ha!

Asthetics

I can't resist posting this conversation with our dear Jane which amuses me.

(Pastor mentioned that asthetics is the part of you that will find yourself tearing when you stand before a majestic, beautiful painting, or touched to tears when you hear a beautiful song.)


Me : So which part of asthetics do u appreciate?
Jane: Music. You?
Me : Fashion.
Jane: So do you cry when you see a very beautiful piece of clothing?
Me : Bowled over with hilarious laughter.

Thank you Jane for bringing laughter into my life.

Life is Fragile

They say life is fragile. I used to think it as a cliche statement.

Not anymore.

In the recent two weeks there have been many turn of events in my life that made me realise that life is fleeting. I was in an accident (of course I was unscathed) and I thought I could have lost my life there and then if not for God's favor. Please don't get me wrong, there is nothing fearful in losing my life but there is a dreadful thought of leaving loved ones behind who would grieve, not to mention leaving behind financial and emotional burdens they have to carry.

There is definitely more to uphold and upkeep in life than our own precious life. There many lives intertwined with ours and we have to think of them. It is pathetic to live selfishly. It is irresponsible to think that whatever one does with his life does not affect somebody else.

So moving on, I want to tell all my loved ones whom our paths crossed, I appreciate you and I love you!

Sunny Side Up!

That day I was having lunch and the cook gave me a very beautiful Sunny Side Up. It looked so ooophmm, the yolk oozing out and stuff and beaming at me, that I couldn't resist capturing it down!

PS. Next to my Dear, I haven't seen another person cook such a nice one.

Hmmm....Huiling loves Sunny Side Up!

A Mock Comeback?

Hi Everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a long long long time...

Many of you are clamouring for updates.

I have a very helpful suggestion: Get me a laptop and I'll be able to have a computer to work with, and you won't miss me so much!

That day I went out with Jean and BF, Des and Deb. Finally I'm able to meet Jean and BF. Here are the photos...
