Baptism

Hallelujah! Both John & Jane were baptized last night together with their cousins. What a joyous day!

Thanks for all the wonderful products & memories.


For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away;
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever...
(1Peter 1:24-25)

Friendship Park Revisited

Been a while since the family last visited the gorgeous park next door... And what better occasion to revisit than joining the crowds there for the Mooncake Festival! What a wonderful night.

School Revisited

 I know, the classroom looks spooky, but hey, this just brings back so much fond memories. With the exception of the plastic chairs, the classroom looks just like mine...25 years ago? 

That's John waiting for his turn during the "Meet the Parents Day".

Jane did well on her recent poster competition at the school...she got second place! Praise God!

Kampung Sikog Church Revisited

A couple of months back we had the opportunity to visit the church at Kampung Sikog, the church which helped "jump start" this blog in the first place :)

 After nearly 7 years, the place hasn't really changed much...but I have. Not just my hair color, but my theology has since shifted from Word-Faith, Prosperity Gospel branch to... the Reformed  :D

Praise the LORD for the people here.

Ulu Trip

Almost in anticipation of the possibility of an upcoming chance to go for a short "mission" trip I have been roaming around to odd places for the past weeks. It has been fun.

One of which requires a 5 hours boat journey - one way! But truth be told, the boat journey was extremely comfortable. These express boats are fully air-conditioned & even play a good selection of movies.

The most uncomfortable part of the journey was probably the destination itself. With only limited or restricted modern amenities, I do get to appreciate my comfy home A LOT!

One surprising "new" happening I discovered was that many timber camps are now visited by pastors on a regular basis supported by their companies. And that's a great thing. But obviously there are still much work to do done ;)

How the Kids Spent their CNY

Well, the pictures here tell a thousand words...

Yes, even the youngest was not "spared"...

Saddle Brown Cameo

The Cambridge Saddle Brown Calfskin came into my attention a few years back when a Wide Margin Cameo version was sold for more than USD600 on eBay! Ever since I have been on a look-out for one too...no, not the Wide Margin version, but just a "regular" Cameo :)

And recently I was able to get one on eBay. And I must say it is lovely. The Calfskin basically looks the same as a Water Buffalo grained Calfskin only much more supple...which is a great bonus.

Now what I need is a Sea Green or Forest Green Cameo to add onto my collection... Or an UltraMarine Blue... ;)

Lost

Mercy, LORD! Mercy!

Happy New Year, 2011!

Since I am reading Francis Chan's Crazy Love on this first day of 2011, may this video be a blessing to you too :)
