烟霾。我挡荡荡

今天终于看见蓝蓝的天，大大口的吸进久违了的新鲜空气。昨天开始病倒，我想如果今天烟霾还不散我可真遭殃了，眼睛痛，鼻涕流不停，喉咙干枯疼痛，最难忍受的还真是非头痛莫属，痛了好几天了。

每一年马来西亚都会有烟霾这个天灾，今年实在严重多，还停学了两天。可能在西方国家不曾有的景象就是像本国人般一盒一盒地购买口罩。盼我们的邻国真正看待这个长期影响我们健康的问题。

本来以为烟霾的事还会持续上两三个月，前两天开始缝制手作口罩，看见我的可爱的Lucas，爸爸用了大人的口罩为他戴上，松松的。。。怎么能保护到他呢？所以想了一想，赶快动手缝制小孩尺寸的口罩。

本来的设计是没有插入-开口，因Miki分享了一张‘口罩的介绍’后定意改换之前的设计，弄了一个开口。所以这个手作布口罩的设计，有一个开口，可以插入一种可杀菌保湿的滤纸，日本产品。

缝制了好几个，先给了侄儿女们，Gabriel不要妈妈作的，只要用买的，没他办法。

大人的的手作口罩在鼻梁的部位还可供铁线穿入以致按个人的鼻梁高度调整呢！在Sewing Octopus开始接受订做，有意订做的朋友可以留下短言吧！或查看更多手作布口罩相簿

我自己带上亲自缝制的口罩，没事都想着要上街，浩浩荡荡地，一心只想炫耀^_^"（生病弄坏了脑筋！）

胜过这世界 弦乐谱

就此，本人开始把弹奏(配乐)过的敬拜诗歌，一一把乐曲谱写出来。并不是什么专业谱曲，只是本人靠着现有的能力，与得胜弟兄的扶助编写出来。若教会有几位弦乐乐手就可以组成一团了。咋们也第一次，愿上帝大大赐福于我们，增添我们的能力，让更多人蒙福。

Here is the string section of 'Lebih Dari Pemenang', is my first time to score out a praise and worship string praise sheet, not a very complicated one, nor a brilliant arrangement, just start with what I have, and what I know with the help of Samuel. 

If you have a few violinists in a church, group them together to start string praise ministry. May God grant us more and more, enlarge our territory.

DEng~ failed . it's OK!

Blessed Day! Though it is a hazy hot day, nothing changed my heart of worship.

Today is SCF Youth Sunday, we have a practice in SCF, which we will have Youth Sunday every two months, KK Sunday in every 3 months, this allow all members of the church from young to old worship together as a family.

When in KK Sunday, KK (Kingdom KIdz Ministry) will have to arrange everything from praise and worship including children leading; Sermon speaker; programs if there are some like dancing, Bible memory works, singing, or skit.

Children in KK will have to take charge of the flow. Ushering; Cleaning; Sound checks; Musicians; Psalmists; Projector; Slide Show and so on... This has allowed them to serve from young age.

Youth Sunday, KRG (Kingdom Rock Generation) will plan everything. Today was also the first time I gathered all violinists to form a Strings Ministry.... sounds great, isn't it? There were only 4 of us, haha.

We had a rehearsal yesterday, it was actually quite messy, Sophia is from JB FGC, she had experienced playing in their praise and worship, and we roughly know how it will go. After that mess, we will all have to gather in one room to discuss of the flow, the intro, the parts for who will play high notes and low notes. It was quite tiring though, but getting booster now!

Thankful that Samuel came in to help us, he is a great musician, he has a pair of good ears, he listened and suggested some good ideas. He knew praise and worship songs well, he knew how could give the song a richer harmony. With his help, ease everything SO SO Much loh!

Though there some problem with microphone this morning during the first two songs, sounds didn't project out, that was due to we 'rearrange our standing position and moved the mic where we wanted. Really were our fault....someone do not know much about mic....... DEng~ failed.

Paul came to me after church, gave me a short lesson on the mic we will use in future, at least now we know what we need to do in future in order to avoid or to repeat our mistake again. It's OK!

Well, all things do work for the good of those who love Him who have been called according to His purpose, praise the Lord!

During lunch time, I heard feedback from a few brothers and sisters, they were so excited to see our praise and worship now include strings, it gives the feeling of having a 'classy' team, man!! Thanks so much, haha.

One said it really gave a kind of 'feeling' during communion time. Awww.... so encouraging!

Next! What I have to do is to write those violin parts that we played, put music down in notes, upload it for all who needs to play in their Strings Ministry could download for free. We only have violin parts for now, am proclaiming more will join in! We at least are now READY!

Heart that Sews

At this moment, I am concentrating sewing, like what I did for all my hobby learnings, go for full force! Sewing Octopus the brand name will carry all the product that I sew. 

Sewing small items allow the turnover rolls faster, where I could at the same time upgrade those materials like thread rolls, this one in the picture is quilting thread, many times more expensive than ordinary sewing thread. Let say a sewing thread is selling at 70sen, this one is RM18.

I am an artist, suffering from this sickness of giving the best to make every art piece perfect. (Very personal... I know)

The progress

Series of Coin pouch with card slot, from the first design till the confirmed size. Try and error, did alteration in measurements as well as in design.

It's such an enjoyable progression.

Lovely Sibling that warmed my heart.

I met Jane Cheong the first time I went for Supplies Surprise Bazaar at Bfree, which later I found out they have it once in two months time.

I bought quite many things from her, as she is selling at very reasonable price. It is very warm of her, she explained clearly, and also share ideas generously, I love talking with her.

We came out for lunch twice in Kota Kemuning, went visiting her big country style home (I love her house, you know it!)

She brought me to Petaling Street to source some nice fabric shops to get some good deal sewing materials yesterday. In this trip, her two teenage child followed.

I want to talk more of this pair of sibling, elder brother and sister at two years age gap. We chatted many things, including of their Xin Hua secondary school which I also plan to send Gab to.

Along the journey, they followed without grumbling, even though there was once they asked permission to go book store but rejected. They made no naughty face. One thing I noticed and this warmed my heart so much, in the journey when one was walking fast with their mother, the other followed slowly after me, my left leg was hurt and so I have difficulty to walk really fast even though I have tried hard especially when we rushed back to our car to extend our parking ticket for longer shopping time, one will still walked behind me according to my pace. How lovely they are.

I messaged Jane Cheong about this, and she told me she didn't even notice it. I would like to give them an encouragement, I know they didn't pre-plan it, because according to their mother they fight most of the time.

Jane Cheong shared this prayer with me today in facebook. I read this before, and I decided to keep this in my blog.

General Douglas MacArthur's Prayer for his son ~with Jane Lee

"Build me a son, O Lord,

who will be strong enough to know when he is weak,

and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid;

one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat,

and humble and gentle in victory.

Build me a son

　whose wishes will not take the place of deeds;

　a son who will know Thee…… and that

　to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.

Lead him, I pray,

not in the path of ease and comfort,

but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge.

Here, let him learn to stand up in the storm;

here let him learn compassion for those that fail.

Build me a son

　whose heart will be clear,

　whose goal will be high,

　a son who will master himself

　before he seeks to master other men;

　one who will reach into the future,

　yet never forget the past.

And after all these things are his,

　add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor,

　so that he may always be serious,

　yet never take himself too seriously.

Give him humility,

　so that he may always remember

　the simplicity of true greatness,

　the open mind of true wisdom

　and the meekness of true strength.

Then, I, his father will dare to

　whisper, "I have not lived in vain.'"

Rekindle first love for God

Just came back from camp, SCF family camp was held at Bentong Eco Dusun 'Resort', this resort is in 'Army' style kind of resort. 

I love this place though, nothing is better than when you are surrounding by trees and trees and trees. 

No coverage or I should say weak phone reception, no wifi, no air-con even in hall, it's a heaven to busy people (I suppose). Afternoons were super hot, these were the time they went for 'obstacle race', 'Bamboo Raft Building' and 'Jungle Walk' activities. 

There were rain in both of the afternoons, started at about 4pm, it was the end time of all activities, so thankful for the rains, it gave us a very cooling nights.

A very different camp to me as compared  to those camps I have attended, the first difference was due to the hurt of left knee ligaments in late February, it is still not fully recovered, hence I was not able to join all outdoor activities (kinda boring...). All I did was staying indoor, taking photos, praise and worship, and listening to sermons.

5 sermons in total, these messages have just given me a booster to rekindle my first love to God. Apart from this wonderful messages, God did a wonderful work in me. 

On the first night, a few of brothers and sisters were given chance after a worship session to shared our experience with God during the worship time. Some have seen vision, some have heard God spoken to them. And some felt God's presence. 

I stepped out to share my experience with God. During my low time, I stopped praying, I stopped reading Bible, I stopped talking to God, I knew He is love, I knew He will not forsake me, I knew He has a plan for me, I knew that He has his perfect time to raise me up again (I know I am being selfish by pushing all responsibility to God.) I then learned to know when one is so low, they are also very weak despite of knowing God's greatness and faithfulness, they don't even have the strength to even call for God's help. This experience has helped me to right my wrong mind set, I thought it is merely just the matter of one's decision, I thought it is merely just a simple action of 'fall and stand up again to keep going' thing; I was so wrong, God put me in this situation to allow myself to 'see', not as what I thought. 

During low time, keep serving Him is the only connection I had had with God. And I know it is something I can not and should not 'cut away', and so I keep serving. And I praise Him, He has been with me to walk through this low time, He has been teaching patiently about His grace, love and faithfulness. 

I also confessed in the congregation about the sin of being prideful. This has been my lesson to improve to becoming a person with a humble heart. I confessed that I may be seen outwardly a humble lady, but inside me I am prideful, please don't misunderstood me a person of hypocrite, I am not, I am just in the progress of changing and moulding. 

And then there was something very very special on the second night, after night service, some went back to dorm, some chose to spend some time with one another, Elaine and I didn't want to go to bed, we had a chat in the hall, where praise and worship team was practising pieces for tomorrow service. 

While I was talking, I had a burp, extra ordinary burp, I felt very painful in my chest, and it passed to armpit, and went to my right hand. The breath of the burp smelled badly, Elaine told me it wasn't normal, and so she prayed for me.

More burps after the prayer, and I had a feeling of 'vomiting', Elaine hurried to get me a plastic bag, I grabbed some tissues sat down immediately. the pain of the chest still there, I kept burping, and I felt there were more and more saliva gather in my mouth, and it was very thick and 'creamy' or I should say slime. 

I had to spit them out, and it was very slimy, I find it hard just to spit and cut the slime, instead, I had to use tissue to 'pinch' in order to break it. This actions repeated a few times, until the 'slimy saliva' stopped forming. I had some dry coughs, and burps at the same time. 

This delivery took place out of my expectation. And I felt God's power, and experience this, nothing unholy can stand in the presence of a holy God. 

A big Amen to this awesome work of God. 

God's love can reach any person in any sin, and it stretches from eternity past to eternity future. It takes us into the very presence of God and sits us on His throne. John Mac Arthur, The New Testament Commentary

 And now, I am not knowing 'God is love' in theory, but personally experience God's love in length, width, height and depth.
