Last Friday,we went to Puchong IOI with only one thing in our mind……. Dinner! We were hungry and don’t know where and what to eat. We spotted Breeks Cafe and Seoul Garden. We couldn’t decide which one to go. As a result, we do the simplest thing….. One, Two, Zom! Guess what. Tim won the game and he chose Seoul Garden. Sadly, it was fully booked so ... No choice lor. Breeks Cafe!!!
It was indeed a very nice experience. The food was nice and the portion were huge. Tim had BBQ half-chicken , It tasted great and he was filled to the brim!. Ben just had his braces done up recently so Beef Lasagne was the softest choice of food. Ck and I had the same “Cajun chicken chop”. Dee..lee.. cious!
After the heavy dinner, we adjourned to Popular Bookstore. We bought some books and a music CD “Soul Jazz”. We then stop by at San Francisco Coffee for a “Buy I free I coffee”. Just couldn’t resist the smell of coffee beans and of cause the price!
We came home, turn off all florescent light and turn on the warm light in the hall listening to the new CD. Laying on the couch and had a cup of Chinese tea. Yeah! Nice family chill out on another Friday night!
About the middle of last month, I was feeling really blue. I have never experienced such tiredness in my life. I was totally burnt out; physically, emotionally, and even spiritually. All I wanted was to get away from all my commitments. I wanted to get away from ministry, friends, and even home!
I told CK that I needed a break from home and that I wanted to go somewhere alone. He was rather supportive but worried and suggested that I go away with a friend or two. However, he agreed that I should take a break from all my activities and just relax.
I thank God for my two girlfriends (TT & T). They were very willing to accompany me to a getaway adventure at Genting Highlands. We chose this place simply because the weather up there was cool and nice. I went without any intention to go Casino or Prayer Mountain. All I wanted was to “chill out and do nothing.”
Off we went to Genting on Saturday morning. We spent the whole Saturday afternoon shopping at First World indoor shopping mall. I bought my favorite CarloRino handbag. TT & T also got their stuff. We had a wonderful buffet lunch and dinner and ended that night with a cup of drink at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
We stayed a night at the Theme Park Hotel. The room was comfortable. The three of us laughed, ate, and chatted until midnight had passed. Then, we slept!
The next day, deep inside us we knew that we needed to honor the Lord on the Sabbath. So, we decided to spend some time worshipping before we went for breakfast. Lo and behold, the Lord was so good to us. He chose to visit us even when I chose to get away from Him. I thought I could hide from God, but I was wrong. He is always there even when I feel lost and weak. He is there to keep and protect me.
The Lord appeared to us in such an awesome manner. We ended up sobbing and praying the whole of Sunday morning. Though I have my plan, God is there to help me plan better. We don’t need a special appointment to meet God. All we need is just to call upon Him. He is always there to meet with us, simply because He loves us. This is so true even in my case.
I came home that afternoon feeling tired physically but, emotionally and spiritually I know I’m different. I have seen Him and know Him better. I am glad I have found Jesus anew and afresh today.
Thank you Lord!
We had this last night at 10pm. This is what we normally do out of those abnormal Friday nights where we do not host HF. We called it "family get together nights" Ater the dose of caffeine we couldn't sleep and so we enjoyed the cool night breeze at our garden plucking soft music, serenading our two dogs. What an interesting way to take a break from the norm.... :0)

Sambal Pork - My kids favourite meat dish.
Sambal Pork- from my mother's recipe collection. I recalled her recipe from memory and she used to say... agak agak only lah, from experience, you'll know what to add and what not to the next time.

Handing over prayer cards to Team 5
10th October 2009. This was a remarkable day as The Liews, The Lee and The Lim made a point to run and pray for our beloved country, Malaysia. The team members were Harry, Po Yen, CK, Ben & Tim. They took with them the road map and prayer cards for the 5km prayer run.
Po Yen injured his toe two days before the date and hence could not run. Nevertheless, the desire to pray was there and he joined them in prayers while driving along with the runners.
I was the appointed Team Manager (i.e time keeper, water supplier, photographer and driver). I am proud to have been able to contribute to this run. Hopefully, the next round I would sign up as a runner too! We were very glad to have Michelle (a second year medical student) who came along as the medic.
Our team, AG14 team 4, managed to complete the route without any incident and hand over the prayer cards to the next team to carrying on with the vision.
Thank you Lord for Malaysia! May Your Glory fill this nation, Amen!
