Removed facebook-like

I found some floating Japanese words on my blog today, my blog was hacked. A kind of warning, after google translated it, I still do not understand what it meant.

A little panic, and wonder why people like to hack.... what will they get from doing it?

After google about this Japanese words : セキュリティ警告: 上記のURLはパスワードと同じように厳重に管理し、他の人に教えないようにしてください

 There was one mentioned about removing facebook like button helps. So I did, and it is removed now. Hope it solves this problem.

Yummy treat

10 March was Gab's birthday, also my student Jia Yun's birthday, how thoughtful of Mrs. Chong, she sent me these mini cakes in the afternoon, knowing that I couldn't go out for quite some times, and so she got me these desert to sooth my boring day.

Thank you so much for her kindness and love.  

煎熬的一晚

从扭伤膝盖韧带的那天到如今已经12天，不知道为什么这几天的晚上小腿都不住地抽筋，一抽就几个小时，好累人。。。

昨晚靖雄看见妈妈这个样子也很无助，还说：“如果是我就好了！” 他还帮我“酷哥”【如何舒缓脚抽筋】，读了一小段就马上拿了一张手帕跑出房间，从冰箱抓起冰块，把它们包好后就连忙进来叫我敷在小腿。。。不一会儿我说：“好像没什么作用！” 那个时候已经是凌晨十二点了，星期六又有学校补课，早上六时就要起床上学了，虽然还很痛可我得赶他去睡，自己来按摩好了。

真的不知道能做什么，抽了几个小时，我心在想：“为甚么会这样？好痛苦！” 开始胡思乱想了一会儿，顿时告诉自己要振作，又坐了起来一手拿起zambak涂了一些在双手的拇指，虽然很痛，还是用力抓住小腿从膝盖的方向往下推到脚跟，不断的祷告与宣告上帝的医治大能临到，宣告上帝的权柄已赐下给我，念着。。。念着。。。我想大概半个小时后，小腿的筋开始舒缓，又累又感恩上帝的怜悯和恩典。

连忙呼喊：“耶稣，超乎万名之名，阿门!永远赞美祢的能力，荣耀与权柄。”

煎熬了几个小时终于有觉可睡了！

Gabbie advertisement star

When Gabriel was young, he had a pair of big round eyes, pinky cheeks, soft hairs, fair skin...

Everyone loved him at first sight. This is one of the advertisements he participated.

He should have more, but due to his shyish character, didn't make it for most of the chances.

This portion of newspaper ad was kept by my mom, and she passed it to me. The only one I have now.
