Swing

123....weeeeeee 1.........2.......3.....Weeeeeeeee! Higher...HIGHER.....gO hIGHER........

Daddy used to bring me out for a swing or swimming at the Swimming club... I still got my photo with my milk bottle. Looking back at childhood simply put a smile on my face.

Mum and Dad work very hard for the three of us. Mum used to cook lunch and which include also for us dinner, she and Dad will then leave the house by 11am for work and come back by midnight. Danny will took care of the two of us..doing homework, afternoon nap and heat up the dinner and make sure we finish our meal. I could'nt understand why we need to finish our food, sometimes you know kids need some junk! :P
Like the saying goes..a junk food a day keeps the child awake ;) hehehehe

Danny woke up early each morning to help dad prepare for his hawker stall. Dad own a van which he travel around selling burgers and drinks..After settling the two of us, Danny will ride his motorbike to the place where dad placed his stall and help them till evening comes.

Being a child all I know is to whine and argue with them why they should'nt work so much...they should just stay at home and have time with each one of us. Alex is the most timid of the three of us, he is quiet and never demand anything at all. He is easilty contented with things. Dad use to ask him what he want for his birthday..all he'll do is to shook his head. So dad decided to buy him a "REBORK" Pump shoe for his special day..you'll not believe this " Pls don't try this at home " he slept with the shoe...I thought he was wierd...

Having stated that, I love each one of them very much. Despite the little time we have with each other..all my dad think of is our future, all mum wants is to see us grow and be someone out there. Danny understood their hardwork and thus waisting food is as bad as not appreciating them at all. As for Alex he is easily content with whatever dad gave him.

I pray that each of them will be able to know God and one day be in his Kingdom...

If you do have a prayer request do drop here. I'll be more than glad to pray for you...

Love you people :)

Which is better?

If you know, Malaysians are one of the most hard working people on earth. Back in 1990 I got a shock and dissappointed when the shopping mall in Sydney closses sharp at 5pm. 4.30pm people is already packing their stuff to go home. To my surprise, there is nothing interesting at night. The only thing my cousin suggested was to go for the gay bar or the Mardigrass show. What? Did I heard you correctly? That is awefull..I'm neither a guy nor a gay...so what is that suggestion.

So we decided to stay put at home and watch a movie. Back then I'm only 15th, so you are aware that when the clocks ticks 8pm we could only go into the room for some kids show like Simpson. So I'm a big fans of Simpson that I bought a shirt in Australia that I could wear it to make a point.

All I did in Australia was visiting some parks and historical places. Uncle Simon even tested me on the name of the flag. Oh dear...this is a killer trip. I wish shopping complex closes at 10.00 so I can escape from all this educational children trips.

KL is the best. You got to stay up late and go fondue your way to the mamak and catch a midnight show..now I'm reaching my late 20s..and I come to realisation how I wish I could visit Australia again. Sitting by the beach, having my fish and chips, go home early and have some family time. Steamboat at the yard and crack some jokes before a good nite kiss from mum and dad. Simpson with Adrian and Jay...laugh at the fact that I hit myself on the crytal clear window...

Sometimes, the other side of the field really looks greener...be it a job or a friend or even your spouse..but let not change what God has plan...

My Quiet Time This morning inspires me by the fact that, God told Jeremiah he knew him before he is in his mother's womb. Jeremiah excuses is that I'm only a child how can I tell the people what you have commanded me.

God then said to him " Do not say that you are a child, I'm with you and I'll rescue you. In life there is 1001 and excuses and challenges, but what I choose is what dictates the very outcome.

Which is better?

Shall Ponder...........

Meditate

Last week was an interesting week for me. Lots of assignment to mark, student to attend to, spending time with the disciple,sister group meet up to prepare ourself for the high month,conflict resolving, UM application which turns me down and a deep talk with honey it was just rather overwhelming...I know you could relate to me.

Sometimes things can be as just overwhelming and tiring..but it was all worth it! When my student sms me and talk to me about their struggles, God made me realised that you are appreciated and trusted in the work you do. He is working at different people's life in his own special way, to give encouragement and helping them go through different challenges in life. For us, nothing much we have done, for them we have given them enough courage to face the challenge.

Then God said, "Behold, [Ps 104:14; 136:25] I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you

What about the spending time? If I could recall, I've never used this vocab before I became a Christian all I know is to hang out or catch movie or go yum cha at some nice mamak at late nites. There is some spiritual concept when I was ask to spent time for a very first time :) That is so cool, there is no longer about me and the person who I spent time with, God is always in between the conversation and how we deal with the situation as a disciple. I thought that was so awesome!! So when I have a chance to spent time with someone, I shall look forward that God is with Us :)

[Acts 14:17

*--correction--* Acts 17:27

] though He is not far from each one of us;

Thursday was sisters meet up, Shan Shan ask us to update ourself and share our ups and down. Come to realised of it, everyone faces challenges...none of it is less important than mine... seeing how they overcome and make it into an Up of their week was really inspiring. Not self focus, not selfish, but vulnarable, open and inspiring..Felt so refresh after the meet up..felt recharge to face the week again..maybe at times we can be so self focus on our troubles and challenges but who knows that your struggles brings assurance and confident to others when it is used to glorify God in all situation.

Deuteronomy 10:21
"He is [Ps 109:1; 148:14; Jer 17:14] your praise and He is your God, who has done these great and awesome things for you which your eyes have seen.

The best part of the week was to resolve conflicts with my Shiau Foong, I realised I understand her more everytime we resolve. We fight, we laugh, we cried and we resolve..God help us to put Matthew 18 into practise..I know one day when I just look back at our friendship I know there is no regrets and our love for each other has brought us through..

As for UM application :) Nevermind, I'm happy for the fact that God has shown me what he has prepared in advance for me. His plans never fails..I have many people who just come forward to give me their words of encouragement and affirmation. I enjoy my dating life, lecturing and doing God's work. The future is in his hand, I can only go on my knee to ask God to show me his will.

For desert :) go on a date with honey! We have a great chat about our childhood and other issue in our dating life. Though it was up and down but it is still a great experience to be able to date someone. It really helps me to grow in different area as a christian.

So when things go wrong as they sometimes will, take a rest if you may, but stick to the fight when it's hardest hit, cause you'll reap your harvest when you never give up and does'nt quit.

God Bless!

Thank You

Saturday was an intense day for all the contract student. Facing Exam on Monday and butterflies are all over and student is so tense up and worried. Phew.. I can understand that feelings. I felt like hugging each one of them and say thank you for putting in all the hardwork..You will definitely reap the result very soon.

Joan said, Miss I wish to bring you into the exam hall. It makes me realised that the last few years I ask God the same. He did go through every moment with me to just calm me and help me out on those time I got Panic attack. Ya Joan I wish I could just be there...but no worries...I know you have work hard and now you just have to tell your self the little that I have I will go in and not give up!

I heard Yen Siang vomitted on Sunday and not feeling too well. Just a little thought of smsing her and make sure she is ok and get her MC submitted, I just gave her a simple text. Her replied " Wah your information so Geng one must be from Jason :) Miss Thank you ( infinity ) I will make you proud tomorow.

Girl I just want to say that I'm always proud of you, your eagerness to wait for me to end my class and asking me question on contract law till late nite. Study and do your assignment and comming for sassy already make me so proud of you.

Thank you all my student for being such an encouraging bunch of blessing to me. Giving me support and be there to just tell me how much you have appreciated me for the last 9 months is enough to make me proud of you.

Jason, I am inspired to see how you help your classmates even on Sunday just to ensure that the weaker onces is alright. I'm definitely so proud and may God grant you with good results.

I'm gonna miss all of you, I'm sorry coz I can only see all of you 5 minute before your exam start today. I know the hall is intense, do remember I'm here praying for each of you that I could remember by name and those I can't I have also lay down my prayer request that God be with you in spirit to fight it through.

Love All of you! See you in 3 months time on your result. I am looking forward to rejoice with all of you and for all the hard work that you have put in.

Love,
Ms EVELYN
