Hot Cross Bun

It was a Good Friday eve, while I was having my class, a parent stood waiting at the door, I wasn't realized that, until I felt someone is behind me, 'Why the student came so early?' I thought, and I was about to ask 'Why do you come so early?' while I was turning toward her, 'Oh, Mrs. Kor, I'm so sorry didn't realize that it was you!'. She smiled and pass me a box of 6 freshly baked hot cross bun and wished me 'Happy Easter Day!' How sweet is she!

My GPS

I never denied the goodness of my ex Brian, he has got a super capacity of memory, places that he'd been to, he will always remember the way, you really don't have to worry of getting lost somewhere.

Till now, I will phone him for direction whenever I am lost, or ask of his advice which road will take me to the destination, he always give accurate direction and correct traffic sign boards, something that I can trust him the most, and always count on him, he is my GPS.

Do we have to?

What is right seems wrong to certain people, what is wrong seems right to another person, in another word there is no right or wrong!

It all depends on which shoes you are in, we just need to have to be sensitive, be courtesy, be understanding, be supportive, be kind.

Some ask 'Why do we have to go through this?'.
I believe all experiences and where you have been always bring benefit to your future as well as people around you. That always allow you to have a better understanding to people who is in the same situation.

Old Town Pork Offal Porridge Stall

PJ Old Town Pork offal porridge stall is the one I go for since very very young, dad used to bring us to the night wet market for its porridge, I remember it was a shabby stall, the ground was always wet. But now, they have relocated to a food court in PJ old town, a better place ( I guess), but I still like the wet and shabby stall in good old days.

Memory eraser

One very uniqueness in human - ushering in new forget the old.

For a person like me who always suffering from short-term memory loss, time is really my enemy!

I have tried my best not to forget some good and sweet memories I had a month ago, by playing the same old music everyday, replaying some sweet scenes, now realize, time is being cruel to me, little by little memories has gone fading away, I am trying my best to keeping these memories in vague

Some say...

Time is a good healer

Time is a good medicine

But I say time is a good memory eraser...

It's the heart unwilling to leave....

or perhaps....a little while longer

Your love never fails

Your Love Never Fails 

Jesus Culture

Nothing can separate
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails

I know I still make mistakes
But You have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails

Chorus:
You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There maybe pain in the night but joy comes in the morning

And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails

Verse 2:
The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails

The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails

Bridge:
You make all things work together for my good

Chocolate Chips Butter Cookies and Cream Scones

Wednesday morning is my mid-week morning off, which allows me to have time for baking, banking, house chores, vehicle service and others

Making mini scones and cookies today in one shot! As 7 beautiful ladies are going to have dinner at OldTown White Coffee Signature Restaurant and back to my place for lady-chat night. Looking forward to meet all of them!

Make some scones for lady-chat night

Please pray for me to overcome

I need prayer support to overcome it, I know I am not going to make it without prayer, I seldom ask of help, but this time, I am way too weak to walk it all alone. 


I remember of her, and skype her, she knows the pain. 




She quoted a few Bible verses to uphold me.

Psalm 19:7-11 

 ⁷ The law of the LORD is perfect,
   refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
   making wise the simple.
⁸ The precepts of the LORD are right,
   giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
   giving light to the eyes.
⁹ The fear of the LORD is pure,
   enduring forever.
The decrees of the LORD are firm,
   and all of them are righteous.
 ¹⁰ They are more precious than gold,
   than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
   than honey from the honeycomb.
¹¹ By them your servant is warned;
   in keeping them there is great reward.






As I was reading, I started pouring... and I continued...

Psalm 18:28-32 

²⁸ You, LORD, keep my lamp burning;
   my God turns my darkness into light.
²⁹ With your help I can advance against a troop^[a];
   with my God I can scale a wall.
 ³⁰ As for God, his way is perfect:
   The LORD’s word is flawless;
   he shields all who take refuge in him.
³¹ For who is God besides the LORD?
   And who is the Rock except our God?
³² It is God who arms me with strength
   and keeps my way secure.


......continue reading it with tears of joy.


I knew deeply His love for me is so much... so much..... needless of my explanation.... He hugs me, He comforts me, He holds me in His everlasting arms.




我呼求的日子，你就应允我，鼓励我，使我心里有力。诗篇138：3






"based on psalm 32:5-7, i pray 4 u now" She said.

Psalm 32:5-7

 ⁵ Then I acknowledged my sin to you
   and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
   my transgressions to the LORD.”
And you forgave
   the guilt of my sin.
 ⁶ Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
   while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
   will not reach them.
⁷ You are my hiding place;
   you will protect me from trouble
   and surround me with songs of deliverance.






The prayer goes:

 "Dear heavenly father, now i've great freedom; that is, I can "confess my transgressions' to you, the sins that I committed (specify in your own words).... Lord Jesus, I'll acknowledge all of them to you.  " I will confess my transgressions to the Lord and you will forgive the guilt of my sin'.  Now I have the privilege of seeking you in prayer. Lord, you have promised that when the mighty waters rise, they will reach me.  Dear Lord, I thank you for hiding me in many ways, now I'll delight myself in your deliverance. 
  By the grace of your deliverance, I am a godly person. Everyday, everyone who is godly should pray when you may be found.  Now I lay myself down and seek my Lord wholeheartedly.  Listen! you enemy, you cannot boast of victory, coz the Lord of my life with meet my deepest needs in life.  My risen Lord will meet with death, discouragement, despair..... My Lord will bestow upon me grace to cure any disease, sickness and evil spirits... He'll bestow grace to have the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers cured, the deaf hear, the dead be raised, and good news be preached to the poor.

In Jesus' name I proclaim the mighty waters of my life do not have the right to rise, the troubles of my life will not spread out.  I will be protected and kept safe.  My Lord will surround me with songs of deliverance,  In Jesus' name, my life will undergo the grace of healing and salvation, will live a better witness for my Jesus.  Jesus, I want to hide where you are,  every day, I hide in your secret place, in your shelter.  I'll be connected with you and experience your protection and your grace.  In jesus' name, AMEN"

She said:"Don't rely on your own strength, lean on His strength.  Don't take his stripes and crucification in vain.. By His stripes you are healed, by his punishement on cross you have the peace.  Isaiah 53:5"


I am thankful for this sister, she guides me step by step.




She suggested:"Always log on to Joyce Meyer the anointed Bible preacher of God, watch and listen her broadcast to feed your soul." 


I pray for the cleansing of my house, pray for Gab's protection!  Teared for joy, the joy of making U-turn is abundant!


Gab just came home from an enrichment class, I told him I cried a moment ago while I was making a sinner prayer, now am joyful for His grace and love, he felt happy for mommy too, he really did, he was encouraged by my sharing. We went out for ice-cream treat in nearby petrol station. 


Thankful for Gab, thankful for friends that left word of encouragement in facebook's status, thankful for friends who sent a love sms, thankful for the special sister who lead me through, and will continue to uphold me in her prayer. 


Thankful for God.  

My Life is Good

"Life isn't good." Gosh, I've just said this to a friend!! What is in my mind? I am sorry I made this statement.

Allow myself to clarify this, I say: "My life is good!"

God has given me a beautiful smile, I will continue smiling, even though there are down and low moments, remaining optimistic is the biggest part of my life, especially when I know that I am in God's hand, God is in control!

April 2nd Guitar Fellowship Time

Friend's Birthday

Went Opera @ Sunway Pyramid after a delicious dinner at Tai Tong Restaurant.

A birthday treat from Diane.

If there ever comes a day...

My body

Very seductive title isn't it? You've got me all wrong~


Writing this topic is not saying I am Holy, I am good, it serves as a reminder to myself who is in me, why do I have to take good care of my body, there is a saying, body is weak but spirit is strong, God knows our weaknesses, and He is here to help us, at all times!  

In the progress of waiting, makes a person feel struggling, or falling into temptation;
At garden of Gethsemane, Jesus reminded disciples "Pray that you will not fall into temptation." At the same time, he is troubled by another hours time, he is going to be crucified, there he prayed and asked God if He could take this cup away from him; yet not his will, but God's will be done. 


Bible said an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthen him. And being an anguish, Jesus prayed more earnestly. 


In this cynical world, I have not seen all, but have found out a few, have experienced in the past, pleasing own bodies, souls and desires, all the while becoming crusty and cynical or a pathetic, sniveling victim.


One says, get more experiences, you'll get over it. This could sound right, but If I keep on doing this will only get myself falling into abyss, I can't imagine me being helpless, being numb to emotions and feelings, I don't want to see my divine love being distorted in this way.


But God says...

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, 

who is in you, 

whom you have received from God?  

²°You are not your own; 

you were bought at a price.  

Therefore honor God with your body,"

I prayed earnestly few days ago, asked God for forgiven, asked God for strength, God's forgiveness is immediate, strength is immediate, growing strong is a process. 


Jesus makes the promise again and he says "If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever -- The Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you". 


Yes, neither see him nor know him, I hide away from him, because I chose to be in the world. Now, all I need just a willingness to come back HOME. He'll wash my sins away, gives me a new body, refreshes my soul, enlightens my spirit. 

My body, stays strong, because you are the temple of the Holy Spirit!

God's perfect timing. It does help me to have a better understanding.

Allow appreciation to change your life

I met a guy recently, his name is Alan, someone I found not being appreciated by friends and family members, maybe I was wrong! By my observation and analysis, I do feel a little of this, I hope he didn't pretend to be one, moreover I don't know him deep enough.

But would like to list out some of the little precious things that I appreciated of him:

1) Observant: I think he does have the heart of giving, he will say out some of the things he wants to give in order the person to be blessed. I do hope his action speaks faster then his mind, so that more people are blessed by his giving heart. haha, just kidding.

2) Self-conscience: He examines his heart and behaviours, at least he is not numb about his wrongdoings.

3) He sings: I think is wonderful for a guy who loves singing and sings to you whenever he thinks that song suits to express his mood.

4) He is expressive: He expresses well in verbal as well as facial expressions.

5) He is well-disciplined : self-learned guitar skill. That takes discipline to do it.

6) He loves his family: At least he makes time for his family, prioritizing his activities for the family, he does house chores, and cookings.

7) His love language is 'service'.

8) He is smart: No doubt, if he is not, he will not being assigned to in charge the whole running of a company.

9) He has a hobby: Collecting. It is proven having a hobby is good for oneself!

10) Sense of humour: Yes, trust me, he has this uniqueness.

11) He is a Christian: No kidding, I always appreciate God's salvation. Moreover we are family, brother and sister in Christ!

...

There is no perfect man except Jesus, everyone sure has some issues need to be adjusted.

Now by this little appreciation, will really change the value of one life! Regardless of where we are, or what we may be doing, there is always something in our life worth appreciating.

Perhaps you should try to find more reasons to appreciate every aspect of your life and your spouse, and this positive gratitude will give you even more cause for appreciation.


Wish you well, friend, oops, brother!

God bless you and your family.

畜生的解释

一时想了解一下畜生的意识，酷哥后得以下见解：

畜生　　家里饲养的可以带给自己利益的动物，也常指人类以外的动物。
　　有时候也把一些做了严重坏事的人称为“畜生”，另在进行某种比赛时把能力比自己超出很多的人因气愤而称之为“畜生”。
　　再者对父母骂孩子时（通常是男孩子）也有骂其“畜生”的，或不如“畜生”
　　另外，不承认自己的罪责或者犯下滔天的罪恶的人一般有会用“不是人”或“畜生”来评价，所以有日本人不是人、畜生的说法。（具体原因请参考二战日本侵华与现今表现。）
　　比如一些人做了坏事，有些人会说，畜生不如。
　　比如一些砖家，一些贪官，人民会说：他们这群畜生

禽兽　　qín shòu 
　　名词
　　①鸟兽：飞禽走兽。
　　②比喻卑鄙、无人性的人：衣冠禽兽；无父无君无耻无德，是禽兽也。 
　　另解释：是心中无父无君啊，可不是指孤儿。汗~
　　衣冠禽兽
　　shameless! 
　　参考词目 衣冠禽兽 
　　发音 yī guān qín shòu 
　　释义 穿戴着衣帽的禽兽。指品德道德败坏，行为象禽兽一样卑劣的人。
　　鸟类和兽类的统称,古代也专指兽类。
也许少了一个解释，就是在自己住的地方吃喝拉撒睡会比较贴切吧

Gab's best art work appreciation

Gabriel is taking art lesson in Davinci,
her art teacher is my sister-in-law.
This picture was taken by her as Gab managed
to get the best drawing and colouring
 for this masterpiece. 

This picture was taken in year 2010, just realized that his hard work should be appreciated, especially by his mom! That is the only reason why I put this up for sharing.

Gab's worry

One night Jamie came to my place as she needed a computer to finish up her work, and I was about to go out with friend, usually Gab will have to stay home alone and get himself ready for bed.

Things happen during time I wasn't at home. Jamie and Gab had great conversation and interaction, Gab asked of her help to take him to bookstore get a bottle of calligraphy ink, before leaving, he went into room to get some money, but Jamie said don't worry about the money, she will pay for him.

As they reached Big Book Shop in Taipan, she parked her car right in front of the door, Jamie asked if he could get down alone to get the ink, he showed her a helpless face and said: 'Of course I need you to go with me!', hm.... someone is very manipulative!

As soon as he finishing his work, he went to Jamie started  to chat with her. Jamie asked him if he is afraid being stay alone at home, he said 'Nope', but one thing he fears the most is, he told Jamie something he never told me before, he worries that mommy is not coming home!!

That pondered me when Jamie shared with me what Gabriel had said, and started to know the reason why he is worrying. Each time I drive, he is the one who reminds me to slow down, control the speed, as we had one major and one minor accidents before, that could be the reason cause the shadow stays in his mind.

From the very night, I told him that I appreciate his love towards me, and I teach him one way to get rid of his worries, is by praying, 'Do you know you have one thing can do for mommy? That is by praying for mommy, ask God for protection!'. He nodded his head.

God has promise us in Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, 

by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, 

present your requests to God. 

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, 

will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

'The Lord is faithful to all His promises' 

Psalm 145:13

Green Friends

Bird's Nest Fern is one of my favourites. This one plant in my ceramic masterpiece.

I love gardening, research shows that plants do more for us than simply something bring natural beauty to our living spaces, it gives an environment that comforts and welcomes.
They've been proven to reduce stress so well that one glance at a plant lowers our heart rate. They also help clean the air we breathe by absorbing toxins and acting as little oxygen factories. Plants simply make me feel better.

Money plant is the most easiest for taking care of.

Onion that can't wait for me to cook it becomes my plant. 

Banana Blend

Shyewoon came  by this afternoon though we have no guitar class, we've decided to make Ice-cream blend, he suggested to have banana blend, because he loves it very much.

Lucky Debbie, she came by for a short 'lepak'.

This is a simple Banana Blend, here are the things I put in, at whim!

what you need for two:
1) Banana - 2
2) Vanilla ice-cream 4 scoops. (Chocolate ice-cream equally nice!)
3) UHT milk about one cup

Blend all together!


As Debbie came by later, and Shyewoon and I have finished all vanilla ice-cream that I had, we made Banana Blend with chocolate ice-cream! It tasted good, give a thumb up for this! My suggestion to have more chocolate ice-cream, in order to beat equal to the strong banana taste.

Anyway

You can spend your whole life building
Something from nothing
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway


You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach 
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway


God is great
But sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy
It's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
In a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway

God is great
But sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah - I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singing
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yea, sing it anyway
Yeah, yeah!

I sing
I dream
I love
anyway

The power of a prayer

I have no doubt on the power of prayer, it should not be underestimated. Bible says.. the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

But does God listen to the prayer of a sinner?


James 5:15  
And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.


I believe someone has been praying for me, and you!




Lead us nowhere but the way HOME.

Will we ...

Where am I?

Was I not knowing this world well enough? Was I being so naive to what this world really is? Was  I misunderstood the meaning of this world being created? Was I mistaken the bad deeds being good?


As I stepping into this world...

Will I see you?
Will I being forsaken?
Will I learn to understand the world a little more?
Will I able to find out the reason why you are here?
Will I able to find the way out?
Will I able to comfort my heart and soul again?
Will I lose my dignity?
Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow from this nightmare?

wherever I am...

If you find me...

Will I touch your hands?
Will I hear your voice?
Will I have your comfort?
Will you understand me?

If you find me....

Are you willing to follow me HOME?


We know, He is faithful, He is forgiving, He is waiting, He is watching...

Fear not!  He knows everything.

Hide not! Don't run away, the Heaven is His throne!


If you finally find me...

Will you follow me HOME?

Will we walk together in victory?

Do you not remember all things are possible in God?

Have you forgotten He is love?

If you found me...

Hold my hand,

Come HOME with me,

We will walk in victory.

I

As I believe in God

God is love

Let start again

Let it go, let it go...

But how am I turn and walk away when a portion of my heart is longing to stay? That is a question only my heart and mind can answer and it is not an easy one to answer.

Never wished is today, so right yet is wrong from the beginning.

"knock, knock!"

The door is closed, slowly walk away, quietly calm my heart and soul.

Today is just a journey, not a destination.

To continue I will let it go.

I don't want to stay down, even though I get knocked down.

Grass is always greener on the other side, but it still have to be mowed.

I believe the beauty in my dreams.

Let start again.
