I need more time.. but sad to say that everyone is onli given 24 hrs a day.. No one has more, n none has less.. the onli things is that how fruitful are u using ur time... This week is packed with the different stuff coming up.. Pack to the max... Thank God still manage to spend some time with friend.. A time ofr mi to relax bah.. else i will be like going mad.. hohoho..

Having a quiz tmr.. havent realli revise all yet.. it is like onli 1/3 of one chapter.. Still have 2 2/3 left.. wow.. lots lots n lots of stuff.. hehe.. gonna burn midnight oil tonight.. Pray for God's wisdom n understanding.. Pray that i can spot the rite qn..

Went for leader's meeting ydt.. Jo was sick.. (must realli pray for her) she look pale.. Had meeting with Pst Aries.. He was sharing with us about the pastor in Medan.. the passion that they had.. Pst began to share us from the bible about multiplication.. lookin at the story of Jesus feeding the 5 thousands with 5 loaves n 2 fishes.. that is all they have..

Alot of thing we think that multiplication happens when Jesus take the bread Bless it n break it... then the bread started to multiply.. No No.. it is not this case.. When Jesus break the bread into half.. give the disciple each one.. Asking them.. not to eat it.. but give to the people.. Seeing that the thousands are divided into group of hundreds.. so every disciple will have to break the bread to the leader of the group.. the leader.. was told.. "Dun eat it urself, give to the people".. Looking at his wife n children.. he break the bread to give it to the people..Not thinking of himself despite the hunger he had.. He choose to scarifice.. Looking at the needs of other's before his own.. That is when the multiplication happened.. as he breaks.. he realise there is more.. to the extent that the disciple each collect a basket full of leftover..

Qn: Are we willing to scarifice, looking at the needs of other's before our own...

As i ponder, i want to be passionate for the things of God. I need to scarifice more time to my mems.. It is to be caught n not taught.. I want to go into the muddy field n start working.. God anoints mi, strengthen me..i wanna do so much more for u..

Multiplication.. It applies for the CG, our career n everything.. :-) Passion..

On Sun, went pulau ubin with the CG.. we have great fun.. we met in the morning..had some breakfast.. then we set off on the ferry.. while waiting for the rest we shoot some photo at the ferry terminal.. dear got a childhood fighter plane.. so we got it fix at the terminal.. it is fun..

Some shoots at the ferry terminal..
After much waiting, we are onto the ferry n off we go.. on the ferry.. Meixiu took out the sandwich that she made for all of us.. n we are so blessed.. Thanks Meixiu for the sandwich..
Some snap shoots...
The childhood fighter plane...
Finally we reached Ubin.. everyone of us are so excited for it... we went to take the map for the island..
After picking the bike that we like.. we checked n get ourselves ready for the ride round the island.. Off we go for the tour... our 1st destination.. the 100years old uncle.. went to his place n realise that he had passed away 2 years ago.. sob sob.. then we went to chek Jawa.. as it is low tide.. so hopefully we are able to see some stuff..

While we reached the entrance of the wetland.. we are not allow to ride into the place..so have to park our bikes outside n walk in.. while walking we saw a durian on the ground.. took some photo with it.. it is not ripe yet.. so cant eat.. hehe

Then we arrived at the entrance of the Chek Jawa.. n went to the viewing tower.. so cool.. they actually build a chalet style bungalow.. to display some of the underwater creature inside.. Here are some fish... weird fish..

Some dead starfish.. surprise to see the place with so many bridges for people to be able to view...

After viewing the underwater.. we went to the mangrove wetland.. where there is a long long staircase up to the top.. Jolene n yuanxiao was competing who will get to the top 1st.. faint.. i have hard time climbing up.. it is super super tall.. looking down make me scare.. hehe but manage to get up..



After all the long long ride up n down the steep slope... we decided to head back to the jetty.. to have some coconuts.. feeling super super hot.. cant take it..

The weather is so hot.. so dear n i decided to go for a swim at his new condo.. but we need to go back n take our swim wear.. hehe.. even though it is for an hour.. it feel good.. it is cooling..

Then we went to fetch daddy n mummy, kaiping n yuan for dinner.. some photo at MOF

Some dessert that we had...

Joy @ 11:50 PM

This year Father's Day.. As usual, we went out to have dinner as a family.. The first time, Dear joined us. We went to MOF for dinner, it was the place that dear celebrated his bday with his friends.. the food there is good..with the different Japan dessert u can find...

We had a great time of fun n laughter.. bully our dearest sister (kaiping)..

As daddy had a heart attack last year.. it seems like a lot of things he couldnt eat.. so we need to find a place that is suitable for his diet.. we are glad that he likes the place..

My daddy is my hero. He works hard for the past years for the family, providing the best that he knows how for us. Supporting us thru our years of education. He always make sure that we have more than enough whenever we go out. He takes care of My grandparent.. Everyday without fail, he will always go to their place n visit them.. Making sure that they are feeling ok n also that they have enough supply for food n etc..

When he had a heart attack last year, there is much changes to his life.. Now he is on medication everyday.. n also watching his own diet. He works onli 5 days a few instead of the 5.5days.. It would be better for him as it allows mummy n him to rest.

Going for a trip is wat he would like to do.. Especially going back to taiwan again since their honeymoon days.. but he will always hold back on holiday trip.. having worries of m grandparents' needs.. haiz.. pray that next year we will be able to go for a trip together.. with some of us..

My daddy is the best daddy in this world.. His unconditional love for the 4 of us.. Always caring n loving us thru his nagging n scolding n providing for us,, Love ya Dad...

Will update the photo of the dinner soon...

Happy Father's Day to My Heavenly Father too.. No words can describe His Love for mi.. He is always there for me.. He gives me a new life, new hope, new purpose for my life.. He gives me a fresh start when i failed. I desire to do HIs will in my generation.. Love ya, Daddy God..

Went to the PC show at Suntec.. it is super super packed with people n flyer all around.. so crowded.. dear n i decided to look for the lappy session as we are planning to get one each.. So we look around n saw so many banner of ACer the brand that dear wanted.. we realised that they are actually different agent selling.. so they are competing among themselves.. see which one can give a better deal.. so we went to the Acer.. checked out some prices.. then they proceed to the HP session.. cos we just got to see the latest Mini-notebook that is out.. it is like onli 8.9 inch.. n weighted onli 1.3kg.. something that is little n easy to carry around.. hehe..

I had one big n heavy compaq at home.. it is like 2kg plus.. it is heavy..used by my family members too.. 4 of us... like both my bro had a desktop each.. which they will use it for their own studies n gaming.. then my dearest sister will be using the compaq lappy.. so dear decided to bless mi with one lappy that i can use. n also bring it out for studies..

So we decided to buy the HP lappy.. (i am so happy).. felt so blessed.. it is super small n easy to carry..

Then we went to buy dear's lappy, as he requires one for his own work.. one that is light too so that he can bring it along while going around.. It is an Acer lappy with 4GB RAM (exclude the 2G RAM inside the lappy), a bag, mouse, 4G thumbdrive, a external 20G drive...

After buying dear's notebook.. we went to get a camera.. met up with rachel n xiu before that n she mentiioned to mi that the Samsung camera was a good buy with alot of stuff n starbuy (cheap).. so we brought the camera (Samsung M100 @ S$199)


That's our buy within an hour..

Alot of time we choose to be similar with others... looking at a successful man.. we tend to find out the method that the person used n try to follow.. thinking that we will success as well.. the truth is that u need to be difference.. instead of being the same as the crowd..


Sometime it requires u to purposedly change urself to be who are called to be.. than to remain where u r..

Some truths: " Your Life is the product of Your own construction" , " Today's excellence is tomorrow's Mediocrity"

7 Unchangable Laws Of Difference

1. Law of Pursuit : " You will only process what you consistently pursue"
Phil 3:13-14, Pro 8:17-19, Matt 7:7-8
Pursue requires time.. Matt 7:7 "ask"- it is keep one asking..
Be passionate with the thing that u are pursuing.

2. Law of Serving: "A servant is never defined by his willingness to serve but his execution of his service.
Lk 19:1-23, Matt 23:11, Lk22:26, Lk 16:11-12
Liken to the parable of the talent.. the one with one talent keep the talent.. n he was judged.

3. Law of Character: " I am sorry to report that whatever you compromise to keep you will certainly lose it.
Gen 3:1-6, 23-24, 2 Sam 11:1-4, 12:7-14, Jud16:15-19, 28-30.
Keep your integrity.

4. Law of Attitude: "The attitude of a servant determines the atmosphere of the palace"
Esther 1:10-12, 2:13-17, Col 3:22-24
It is not the king that rules but the servant. Cos you r as strong as your weakest link.

5. Law of Association: " Every relationship you have is either drawing you closer to or further away from God's will in your life."
Pro13:20, Psa1:1, 1 Cor 15:33

3 Types of people in your life

a) Compromisers: "Always trying to get you to compromise your standards. they will say "it's okay, you didnt have to be so stiff n rigid at all time."

b) Companions: "Those that neither good or bad for your future. It's nearly impossible to tell their effect.

c) Committed: "Those who undoubtedly committed to your success."

6. Law of Problem solving:"Your value in life is directly linked to the problem you joyfully solve for others."

side track: "Every man wants a respectable wife. Every wife like to be loved.

7. Law of the seed: " Everything in your future is created by something in your present."
Gal 6:7, 2 Cor9:6, Pro 11:24-25, Gen8:22
it is important to have balance in life. just like there is more power in a AC that DC connection.

in Gen 8:22, Gensis (in the beginning) - there is 21 different names of Jesus.

In the bible, God didnt give a 2nd chance.. if He did, he would have done it in the Garden of Eden.. the amazing thing is that God is a God that gives thousand of fresh start..

"seedtime" - the problem doesnt lies on the seed but it is the time the seed is being sowed.
"time forces evil to reveal"

This word had indeed blessed me.. caught me thinking abt it.. n praying on it.. Hope it will do to u too..

Love ya all my reader.. Be a person of difference...

On the second day of our Hk trip we went to Hongkong disneyland... as the weather forecast mentioned that for the next few day.. the weather will not be good.. so we pushed this trip ahead.. we took the disneyland train.

Upon reaching the station of disneyland, at the entrance we can see a big whale shooting water from its back n Mickey is surfing on top.. cool.. After which we went to buy the entry ticket... wah.. it is like HK290 (S$52.25) for a person..
There is alot of shop when we enter.. this cost my relative to be so excited.. especially the younger one.. time to ask daddy n mummy to buy stuff for them.. to distract them i brought them to this pooh that is shooting bubbles.. they chase n catch it.. then we went to take some ride.. :-)
This is the small small world.. where there is alot of small small figure inside of the different countries n the different disney character.. sadly on the trip at the small small world my hp died on me.. so cant take any photo.



We went for the differnt rides.. this is the roller coaster inside a enclosure.. making it looks like u travelling in space.. scary..

Then we went to sit on the Gold Kart.. this is my auntie.. i drove her.. it is not like the one in genting.. where u are able to drive to the right n left as u like.. this one has a guide below the car on the road.. which cause the car hard to move.. Then we went to sit twice on the turning teapot.. hehe.. cos no one at the Q..

Battery flat.. so can get shoot of the fireworks... there is firework at 8pm every night.. the firework is awesome.. with the musical play on the castle.. before we left.. we did some last min shopping.. hmm i didnt get much stuff from HK disneyland.. onli brought a tigger top for my dearest sister.. n also make some magic coin.. :-)

I enjoyed myself at the disneyland.. Glad to have this opportunity to been to one.. it is like seeing the disney character that i grew up with.. so wonderful.. There is still some other in the world like the one in japan n US.. next time i shld bring my children n parents there...

There is this show that we got to watch in disneyland itself that is awesome.. it is like a normal screen.. but u have to put on a special spectacle..then the image in the screen will be in 3-D form.. it is the things is flying toward u n hitting u.. it is nice.. (something that one shld not miss in HK disneyland)..

Joy @ 11:26 AM

Sat at work.. didnt want to do much stuff so decided to blog about the rest of my hongkong trip.

On the ferry to Hk.. Cant remember how long it took.. but i slept.. Having a terrible headche after playing with the DS.. everyone slept.. hehe.. before alighting took a photo with my cousin, Yvonne... Hongkong!! Here i come.. Hmmm actually been to HK the second time.. i know that things are quite expensive.. just wanna to visit more place than shopping still miss shenzhen...

Upon reaching the ferry terminal.. We took a cab to our hotel.. Royal Plaza.. it is something like raffles city (Singapore) a hotel with a shopping centre connected to it.. at within the shopping centre there is a MRT.. It took a while for my cousin to settle the hotel.. think she is trying to get the best room for us.. imagining a standard room in HK accompanying 2 adult n 2 children or 3 adult.. so in the end we got the executive club room.. Wah.. so grand.. 1st time in my holiday trip i stayed in such a hotel room.. it has 2 super single beds with a table.. it has so much space that u can sleep another 3 people on the floor.. hehe photo below..
As we reached the Hotel in the evening so we went to have dinner at the 大家乐 it has all kind of set meal n Alcarte.. serving from chinese food to pasta.. I tried the 5宝饭 - it has chicken, roost pork, salted egg, sausage n veg..

Being in HK, U cannot miss the dimsum.. Have to try.. so when to have dimsum for 2 morning.. It is super nice.. hehe..


许留山 : a nice mango dessert that you cannot miss.. it is nice.. i have this 黑罗米 with mango, coconut milk n bird's nest.. Cold dessert..

Think i will have another entry just on HK disneyland.. Let mi blog about the food i had bah..
Saw this along the road while going to the dessert shop.. cool ice-cream Van.. thought u will onli see this on TV

Were at Mongkok shopping centre shopping.. it is a shopping centre that is super packed cos it is like Bugis street upstair.. (if u know wat i meant) so packed that u cant stand outside the shop waiting for the rest. Something got my eye.. there are shop selling this.. it is like cold noodle mixed with the different ingredients.. with chilli n some other sauce..we decided to buy a packet n tried.. after each of us took a mouth.. we turned back n got ourselves one each.. thought that it is not very spicy after taking the 1st packet which is little chilli.. i had the normal chilli n Hazel had the extra chilli.. wah it is super super hot.. i am like burning within.. Thank God, my auntie brought water.. else i will be like burning...hehe.. Nevertheless.. it is super nice.. can considered bring to Singapore.. it is like 3 packet of ingredient for HK 5 (S$1)
Yummy.. making mi hungry now...

So excited for this camp.. I believe many of our lives will be changed n impacted throughout the 3 days.. I cant wait to be part of GOd's revival..

had a quiz ydt.. it wasnt very good.. gonna pray for good grade..

Having another quiz on mon.. gonna study as much as i can tonight..

Some updates of my Macau trip before i go off for the day.

This is on the ceiling of one of the casino's lobby. It is actually made of gold n it is a cover. at a certain timing, it will have some performance where it will be open up n performance with light n music behind this.

Took some photo of myself n my niece n nephew in front of the ruins.Our dinner at Macau.. They have nice food with reasonable price.. i am too hungry so i ate pork ribs with bitter groud n rice.. Serene had fried rice, My uncle have lamb chop with noodles.. Yanling had pork chop with rice.. Yummmy..

let mi just update u guys of my trip with photo...
Early in the morning of sat morning... off we go at the budget terminal, taking Tiger airline to macau.. Now seats are being allocated instead of 1st come-1st serve.. we Q up to board the plane.. Everyone of us are so excited for the trip thinking of the things that we will be doing. It will be a time for us to rest on the plane for the next 4hrs..



After arriving at the macau, we tool cab to the hotel.. Holiday Inn.. the hotel is ok.. not too small.. we had 2 queen size bed in a room.. which is cool.. then serene n i wont have to squeeze on one small small bed.. as there is not enough rooms for us upon checking in.. we decided to go for a meal to fill our hungry stomach.. we went to eat at a cafe (it is not those high class one) but those u will see in HK show. I had beef noodle.. The noodle is nice.. (forgot to take photo of it)..

After that we went to take the hotel bus to the ferry terminal to take the free shuttle bus to Venetian.. It is a casino, hotel cum shopping centre.. it is made to be something like Paris.. there is like small river within where there is boat for u ride on. The kids are so exicted abt it n wanted to ride on it.. the river is so long that we have difficulties finding the start.. When we got to the place realised that it costs MOP$88 (Est S$16) for an adult n MOP$66 (Est. S$12) for a child..expensive rite.. But we still rode on it.. my cousin (yanling), my niece (isabel), my nephews (norman n damien) n me went for it.. it is indeed a good experience.. Having a lady rowing the boat for us.. as we move down the river.. we chatted n she sang 2 songs for us.. She had a wonderful voice.. Found out that she is from Italy n started working for 4 months onli.. Cool.. After the ride, we were asked to buy a photo, n keychain with our photo for MOP $290 faint.. anyway we all enjoy it.. If u can go macau.. think Genting also have it.. :-)

We wanted to eat at the foodcourt there.. but to our horror.. it is super super expensive.. so we decide to head back to out hotel there which is cheaper.. One thing that is good abt macau is that there is alot of free buses from the casino to the ferry terminal then back to diff hotel.. so we can save on the cab (since there is so many of us -at least 4 cabs needed).. We got back to our hotel.. settle our stuff n also put the kids in the hotel.. so that it will be easier for us to travel to the casino since there are unable to enter.. We had our dinner..

Ok.. Gonna end here 1st.. need to rush some work..
More updates..coming up
