Encourage by His Words...

Just yesterday, BF shared with me one encouraging thing.
It's about his Uncle (dad's side). His Uncle was diagnosed with diabetes and was quite serious one. When a patients gets it, it can't be cured. So his Uncle was praying to God (he's a Catholic), for a good medicines that helps him to maintain his sugar level.
So there he tried all sorts of meds, from Taiwan meds to what ever he comes across or through his friends recommendation.
When the time comes where he has to go for his regular check-up... the Doc was surprised that he couldn't find any reading of diabetes on him. BF's Uncle also don't know which medicine cures his diabetes but I know.. ^_^
I told my BF, probably its God who already cured him on that day he prayed the prayer. Just like Jesus said, "Although your faith is as small as the mustard seed, you will be healed."
Was really encouraged by his testimony. ^_^ God is good huh!
It was cute of his Uncle to pray that prayer... not asking God to heal his diabetes but to ask for a good medicine to prevent the sugar level.

Happy, Happy CNY... Happy, Happy You & I...

Happy Tigerous New Year People!!!
It's Valentine's Day & also Chinese New Year... & also happy birthday for those whose birthdays falls on the same day... 3 blessings in a month, where to find!? ^_^
A friend asked me, "How to differentiate male & female on the above picture?" Frankly speaking, I don't know! *haha* Probably the darker fur is male cos he look more dominion than the slightly light brown fur. Hard to tell huh!
Anyway, we had a Combined Service with Chinese Church on the first day of CNY (Feb 14) and guess what... the English Church member were out-numbered by the Chinese Church members. *haha* We had total of 230 people came for the service... amazing huh! I was in awed to see all the Chinese Church members and the preaching was done by Elder Philip from Chinese Church and was translated by Pastor Y.O's wife (si mou in canto). Sermon was good... and we ended service at 10:30am. Mostly every year, Chinese Church gathers at Cheras Church for their service but the attendance was poor, maybe too far for PJ people. So when they heard that its a combined service with English Church at PJ... alot of them attends.
4 days before CNY, my left eye was swollen (on the eye lid). And I took a day off on Thur for a hair cut appointment and also to surprise a friend at LCCT. Ryl & myself drove to LCCT like 6:15am to pick up Cie and I did a banner for her to Welcome her home. *haha* We were almost late, left my house at 6:15am and reach LCCT at 7am. Ryl drive super fast cos when we reach the highway, it was already 6:35am and I told Ryl, hope we could reach in time cos it's almost 6:40am. Ryl prayed that Cie would be late... *haha* anyhow, Cie's mom & bro were late too... they arrived like 5mins before us. Thank God we manage to reach on time. And know what, we were too free... we fetch her down to Malacca too just to get her car back from Leong's house. Despite my swollen left eye I still take the initiative to go cause promise already mah, don't want to break my promise. We reach Malacca around 10am and we had bak kut teh for breakfast (actually 2nd breakfast cos we ordered take away at McD's, LCCT). Hang around at Leong's house for awhile and then we head back to KL for our saloon appointment @ Kenza. It was fun doing something crazy for a day... good sharing with one another in the car. ^_^ After our hair cut, head back to Cie's house and went to Pasar Malam for dinner. Poor Cie, have to stayed up till 12am (which is Sydney time 3am). I didn't join them for mamak cos mostly are from Chinese Church, not so familiar with them.
Then on Fri morning, left eye still swollen. Went to work with glasses on, so uncool! Anyway, Pr R declared half day. We ordered Blessing Cookies to be given out on Sunday but sadly they missed out our orders, so Uncle C needs to go buy mandarin oranges to give out on Sunday. *sigh* If not I could have gone home earlier. And TAK gave us mangoes from Aus and some mandarin oranges... the mangoes are yummy!
After work, my dad drove me to see eye specialist. Dad thought of going to a normal GP but mom said No. So we went to the eye specialist at Tmn Sea and guess what, it cost me RM104, medication (allergy pills and ointment for the eye lids) + GP fees. I have to go back for check-up this Fri morning and it'll cost RM40-60. Gosh!!! Darn expensive weh... Doc said it could be allergy. But I'm not allergy to any food and I don't have rashes on my body. There's 2/3 reason for it.. 1. Allergy, 2. my Cons/the new solutions that I just change or 3. the eye cream that my sis gave me. So from now onwards, I'll just stick back to my old solutions - dare not change (it was given free and its well known brand). *hmmm...* Thank God the swell reduce on the 2nd day, don't want to go PG with a swollen eye.
Was chatting with a friend on Sunday nite, she had a similar problem like mine. Eyelid swollen cause by contact lenses and she have to removed some stuff inside the eyelid by going for surgery and it cost RM2k. Walau! Hearing from her experience, it gave me goosebumps. But now she went for eye lasik last year... and she's happy with it. I thought about eye lasik but then I just got my glasses like less than half a year (still new) and I have another half year of cons. Might think about it in another 2 yrs time la... when I settle down and got more money first. ^_^
So that's basically what happened for the passed few days.

Woah.. February U came too soon!?!?

My gosh! February is HERE!!! I think I've not really gone through January yet... What have I accomplished in January...??? Hmmm... *thinking hard* Quite a fair bit I guessed. ^_^
Anyway, had a great time in PG last week. Managed to give a surprise to my BB on Jan 29. Was telling him that I'll be arriving at my usual time at night but I was already there at 3pm. Was hiding in his sister's room at first when he came back around 7pm but afraid that I might surprise the wrong person (sister may go into the room). So since he hasn't walked upstairs, I quickly run into his room and hide behind a cupboard. I was also smart enough to hide my shoe, my backpack and my notebook at the other side of the bed where he can't see when he walks into the room. But the sad thing was, I waited quite long in his room and no sign of him walking up. So I thought of walking to his sister's room again to hide and as I walked out... there he was, walking up and he saw me. It was quite dark upstairs (ard to 7:30pm), he didn't really know it's me, he was stoned for a while till I walked closer to him and said, "Surprised!" *haha* At the moment when he was stoned, he thought it was his sister but then doesn't look like.. *sigh* I should have walked into his sister's room la... but anyway, its good enough that I manage to surprised him.
Had a great time in PG, went for my favourite food and guess what, I gain 2kgs within that 4 days... Aah...! Need to go on diet again this 2 weeks... cos I'll be heading up to PG for CNY. We went for movie - Legion, not too bad but they somehow project God in a wrong way, wrong perception of who God is. Warning: If you are an easily persuade person, don't go watch it. It shows how God wanna wipe out everyone cos of all the sins and darkness in the world. So, if you're an easily convince kinda person, I suggest you don't go watch. It may persuade you that God is bad. ^_^

Wow! Can't believe that its February now. Looking forward to see my dear friend that will be back soon... in a week time (right Cie!). Will be going to a hair saloon with her & ryl on the day she arrives. Can't wait to catch up with U.
This morning (Feb 3), I received a call just before I leave for work. Its one of my friend, whom I met while I was working in Glad Sounds 9 yrs ago. Its been few years since he last call me and I was surprised to hear from him. Dad was the one who picked up the phone and he told me Eric on the phone. Was scratching my head and wonder who this Eric is. Memory came back as soon as he said, "Hello! Happy New Year!" Actually he called me earlier while I was in PG that week, called to asked for my home address, guess he wants to send me a CNY card. After I quit Glad Sounds, he never failed to send me greeting cards for that 2-3 yrs. Till now only I remember. It was sweet of him to remember me and to give me a call. Why am I speaking so fondly of him..? Well, he was the only friend that I know who is physically challenge (blind) besides Yong Yau who has gone with the Lord for 10 years now... Yong Yau will always be in our memories. So yeah... was encouraged by Eric... being optimistic and having that faith with God everywhere he goes. Not afraid to share his life with people he come across with, not shy of his disabilities.
So you people out there, who can SEE, FEEL, WALK, and TALK, don't take things around you and what you can do for granted. Appreciate those people around you, and those things that God has given you (eyes, hands, legs, body etc...). We're really blessed to be walking around, talking, doing things with our hands and what we can see with our eyes... We need to Thank God for it everyday! ^_^
