christmas在心里

今年的圣诞节过的很不同
没有华丽的圣诞树
没有所谓丰富的晚餐
没有诗歌
没有倒数

不过
发现静静的度过
心情依然很好
静静的思考
静静的数算神的恩典

丛其他的人的口中
听说在美里的庆典很不错
有的一起去教会
一起喝茶
一起聊天
还故意短讯来jiou我

虽然没有他们的陪伴
不过这样才让我
有更深的体会
就静静的来思想
2009年前的那个晚上
耶稣的诞生
也是一个静静的晚上

今年很忙的在撒种
撒了信仰的种
撒了品格的种
撒了友谊的种

在这静静不过具有意义的一天

在数算靠着神的恩典
看着种子慢慢萌芽
可惜的是
就像圣经里所说的
有的种子撒在路边
有的被撒在荆棘
有的则撒在好土上

就只能盼望
在新的一年
大家紧紧地依靠神的话
他的使命
好好的活

重复了很多次
还是觉得
年少的你们
还有很长的路要走
继续的做更多对的决定

对jx,bi和jp的表现
超满意
小奥看到你的努力
看到你在挣扎
继续的摸索
继续的往前走

。。。。。。。。

美妙音乐会

今天去了福音堂联办的
我要赞美你
这是一场诗歌赞美会
邀请了几位小孩子
一路从Pujut 7载到Luak Bay
用一个小时才栽完
不过很享受在车里的谈话

每一个小瓜都有自己的故事
很想告诉他们

你们现在就像是一个画家
生命就是那幅画
神给了你们那支笔
给了你们自由
给了你们不同的恩赐
任你们尽情的发挥
记得笔是在你们的手上
没有人能夺取你的才华.你的恩赐
就看你们有没有好好利用

你要好好利用你手上的那支笔
为你的将来画出一个美丽的图画

今天蛮惊讶的
你们这几个小瓜既然能静静的观赏
两个小时的音乐会
（处了everise被男高音吓醒）
哈哈哈哈
不过总比坐在我后面的女生好
从头小到尾
还要我出马请她音乐会完后才笑。。。

很不错的音乐会
关灯的话效果因该会更好
可以更集总精神
来欣赏

Today was quite excited as there is a International Choir Performance at Dewan Suarah
Picked up 5 kids all the way from Pujut 7-Luak Bay
Took me a good 1 hour to do that
It was all fun
Had a good chit chat session in the car
All boys (except mr choo becoming a man soon la) are from different background and has their own story to share...
But most of them..they make me feel like a proud parent/Dad today
they survived the choir performance
I was a bit worried as it is more like Hymns Presentation. very classical
but they quietly sat there and 'endure' and tried to enjoy the music
I was being disturbed by a group of gals sitting at my back
It was so annoying until i had to turn back and asked the gal not to giggle
I said: 你可以等到他们唱完了才笑吗？
I looked at my kids.
Even they can sit quietly and listen, why can't those girls?
So proud of them...
Hope this add some colours to the boys life
Hope one day they will start to appreciate the quiet life with God
Start to know that it is fine to be quiet in front of God .....

Boys, Proud of You!!!

穿着美丽外衣的外星人

今天游了泳
轩弟吵着要去富丽华看看歌唱比赛
两个便浩浩荡荡的穿着巴刹裤去
我说轩弟心机重
他知道不可能穿到最好看
就以最lefe形象出现
也一样会成为学校话题
哈哈哈哈

不过
这次真的让我体会到
很多少年都是穿着美丽外衣的外星人

在美丽衣裳的背后
他们都像外星人一样
各自说着外星语
很渴慕其他的人去真正地了解他们所表达的
很渴望其他人去接纳他们

他们以服装，以打扮，以粗俗的语言
刻意的营造一个形象
或刻意改变自己以至可以成为
另外一个被接纳的外星人
往往他们在忙着寻找那个族群时
就迷失了自己

外星人啊

我试问
在那美丽的衣裳
在那浓妆艳抹
在可那雄姿英挺的背后
那个真正的你在那里？

blur blur 不过又有很多感触时写的

Project Accomplish!

was being asked by U. Daniel to help up for his property launch
it is a dome like apartment in apple grenn n white
so decided to have a colour theme for the decoration
and transform both car park for event launch venue and dinner venue
also for the vips they had a sunset rooftop dinner.

had fun working on it thou the schedule was a bit tight
thanks for those that jump in and help (ks, danielhui, bilu, cc, kevin, 1pi0, czhen)

it took us 3 days (to setup) about 2 weeks for preparation work but the ceremony was like 15mins.

hahaha..short n sweet..

but i like the challenge. not too often u can propose smthing so outrages
eg having dinner in a car park (hosting 200 ppl) - car park was the only plc available to host 200 ppl sit down dinner
jungle n forest theme for the dinner venue

i like the turquoise (off tiffany a bit) and white cloth deco.

another beautiful project accomplised!

L-O-V-E STRUCK

On my way home after having yummy burger
Playing Olivia Ong's CD
The song L-O-V-E came alive
Just realise that my little blackie's sound system is quite good
While I am driving
A lot of couple friends came into my mind
May God bless their relationship and see it thru

For those that are still searching
May all your heart be blessed
As you wait patiently
God will definitely show you L-O-V-E

Enjoy the music....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCzBAj6hC6I


L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
(it means i am that poor?lol-穷到只剩下爱 only have love left..haha)
Love is more than just a game for two
(it involves our cycle of friends and our parents-in laws as well?)
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please dont break it
Love was made for me and you

写给那两兄弟

看到一个很努力的在k数学
终于你已战胜自己
从前你老是找借口
现在看到你尝试
就凭这样的态度
神肯定加添更多东西给你
因为你在证明你是一个好管家
好好管理你的才干与恩赐
一步一步的往上爬

还有你
满想念当初刚刚认识你的时候
你埋怨我没有带你
我说你没有什么大问题
所以不带
以为你自闭
mana tau
假自闭
喜欢你受教
只希望你继续的亲近主
因为唯有从他而来使命才会让你走的更远
看到你的迷茫
不要忘记
主已经有你的大蓝图
继续的求
继续的问
继续的祷告
他一定让你看到。。。

有感而发

感动是因为看到你渐渐稳重。
感激是因为你会陪老人家。
感慨是因为好有很多人还没上岸。
感人是因为还有童话故事。

原来人间还有希望。
Pai Kia 还可以变好人

会为你的生命祷告
因为你生命的转变将成为一个美丽的见证
谁说破茧不可能
看你要不要而已。。。

RUTH的故事

This is for Fong Fei Kei King & PC Gal
(FFK say want to come. late late also dint see him come,
I promise PC Gal I will write some notes here for her to read)

So here comes the story...

Today went to a night seminar of Pastor Ho.

The topic is about RUTH.

Definition of Ruth from a book God's People
RUTH is
the kind of woman (a widow, she was offered to leave her husband's mum to find a new husband but she refused and stayed on to take care of the old folks) who draws the world after her,
not just because of her beauty
but by the lasting qualities of unselfish devotion and lowly service

My knowledge on Ruth was she was a lady that transform a generation.
Because of her obedience and faithfulness,
She brings her tribe out from poverty to promise land
What a quality!!! Needless to say she is BEAUTIFUL...hahaha

Actually I was expecting lesson on how to select ur the other half
but it turned out to be a FULL ON bible study on the book RUTH

CHECKLIST ON WHETHER YOU ARE RUTH'S QUALITY
1. Innocent (单纯）
2. Obedience to Old Folks （顺服）
3. Willing to Serve Old Folks （孝顺）
4. Diligent （勤劳）
5. Appreciative （懂得感激）

All these are the fruits of being close to God and always drawing strength and love from God.

Lesson Learnt:
在逆境中看到神的带领
身为老板，你只有权拥有公人的劳动，你并不掌控他的全部
寻找一个会把自己交托给神的女人
常常人在自足的时候忘记神，在不自足的时候才想起神

激励的话

最近在看激励的书
看到有一些值得送给小孩的话

梦想是一个非常奇妙的东西，最初就像一粒种子，在每个心里萌芽。由于有合适的环境条件，例如家人和朋友的精神独立以及物质上的支援，再加上自己实现梦想的强烈愿望，这份梦想变能够成长


Ah Bi-梦想应当是触手可及的，只要我们每天，每时，每刻都努力一点，最终一定会走完这条充满挑战的荆棘之路，体会到一种前所未有的充实与满足

Ngien-梦想是成功的起跑线，决心是起跑时的枪声，行动又如全力冲刺的奔驰，唯有坚持到最后一秒，方能获得成功的锦标

Xuen-梦想就助你心想事成的无形能力

Boy-如果一个人光有希望和梦想，而丝毫不用行动去实现，那么这种希望和梦想，充其量只是一种梦醒之后就幻灭的空想

只有希望而没有实践，那么就只有能在梦里收获。

KS-一步步向前，让目标一步步实现

当我们下定决心开始追逐梦想时，所能做的是从自身所处的环境出发，利用有利条件，完成这个伟大的使命。

大老板-目标的实现，不仅需要耐心的等待，还必须要有坚持不懈和百折不挠的奋斗精神

小孩们
去寻找你们的梦想吧~

很有品味的一个星期

(back row-liang xin, small pig, actor xuen, uncle hui, doc phang)
(front row-alfro xien, tomayto, sibu bo, taiwan min xin bi)

上个星期日
心血来潮
约了一些小朋友和大朋友
一起去电子图书馆
去欣赏一个音乐会
名为
音为你

错过了前两首好歌
默默祷告
要求上帝
好戏在后头

真的还不错
虽然音响不是很好
空调不冷 （少许影响到欣赏音乐的mood)
还是有feel到在音乐会

看到小孩子们静静的聆听(古典音乐ok)
真的很自豪
良心也很享受 (良心是一个朋友)

很希望有更多好的音乐会
出现在美里


..........

很久没有花时间和大老板交谈
今天约了他游泳
老板就是老板
来到我家载我
被载的感觉真的不错
到gcm附近
看到有bush fire
大老板二话不说打电话给bomba
(太不可思议)
现在还有酱关心环境的年轻人么?
沉水多过游泳
然后去parkson找mooks专卖店
mana tau wrong info
看到popular
就进去看看
竟然在popular待上半个小时
很享受在书丛中翻书
也万万没想到
他喜欢读书
在那儿谈了买什么书
各自买了三本激励书 (我买了-梦想就是力量,抬头做人,低头做事, 别急着吃你的棒棒糖)
还打算以后一起去desserts
享受ice cream 和读书乐
(讲nia啦)

感觉真得很不错
有class真的不一样......

我的祝福

今天和你。你 与你聊天
发现你们都在成长
看到你们可以独立生活
看到你们享受在家的感觉
看到你们不再是朋友当头

觉得你们成熟了许多

希望你们继续的找到自己的定位
继续提升自己的品格和水平

愿阿爸天父
眷顾你们
愿创造你们的他
让你们一一的揭发你们的恩赐
你们的大蓝图

我深信他一定会
只要你们愿意

休息是为了走更长远的路

感恩
因为神常常都让我在适当的时候休息
让我再次重新出发

这次和绿洲的辅导大师
去了沙巴一趟
无论在思维
在情绪
在体力
在辅导方针方面
都满载而归（肚子也不例外）

很期待看到绿洲的成长
也很期待看到更多的人去爱这个绿洲

以下是我在沙巴吃喝玩乐的记载

Day 1: Burger King (雪筠老师的最爱）


Day 2: Sutera Harbour (补给干妈的生日茶点）。。。超美的酒店



Day 3: White Water Rafting





Korean BBQ Dinner...

It all paid off

The funny part was his back muscle got cramp n I apply deep heat at his bk
But it was burning n we ended up putting water on it ( he was like Hui Gor and you put water ah quick quick)
But he felt better after tat
went makan see ham kueh tiao with tian, ikhwan, wei nuo n jacky. *ikhwan ordered kuew tio special but pass to tian after first 2 bite-apparently he is known with his big eyes and small stomach*
Slept from 12 to 2
J xuen called and wanted to go for youth fellowship.drove him there. shy like augustine
Then got a call from mr e ajak me to swim
So went for a swim truly relaxing

Having time to walk the old pasar
Having time to talk about mentoring kids
Having time to sit at the kitchen to watch someone baking cake
Having time in the morning to have kuching laksa n have the whole morning free

I thank god for the short escape

It gives me time to stop n think
A time to rest n reflect
I enjoy the time spent w Marlene n frenz
It makes me realize tat my burden for kids remain the same
Or has become stronger

Only thru u

Only thru u

Only thru u
our strength will be strengthen and our mind will be refreshed

event 和 新店的照片

我的F4

绿洲营会时
注意到几个杰出的少年
各有所长
所以我召集他们在一起
挑战他们要在今年有一番作为
喜欢他们的单纯
喜欢他们的认真

我叫他们F4+1 （F5)

希望他们能抽离不良的团体生活
更亲近简单快乐的少年生活

当中特别喜欢叫东升的学生
看他很冲的
还叫他的队名
东升再起
怎么叫人不担心
在游戏的时候
从头赢到尾
不知道他的人
可能还以为他会是老大接班人

可是真的大跌眼镜
他可是读好班的学生
还因为有一次
他胃疼
我约了f3去他家探访
看到他桌上有教会的音乐谱
随口问他会弹吉他吗
他马上拿起他的吉他哼哼两句
（不是很好,不过超认真)
还在其他同年又不是基督徒的朋友前表演
真是太棒了

当其他同学还在谈帮派的故事
他在精力的要把功课弄好
愿神看到他的认真
继续引领他
保守他

这一群将是我会努力照顾的一群
老套一点
即使是要进到老虎的嘴巴把他们救出来
我都愿意....

神啊.求你保守!


p.s. ah yan我没有忘记你.你要继续加油!

很疯狂的一个星期

店终于都开了

有一个朋友告诉我
他很惊讶
惊讶看到我抹地
惊讶看到我洗碗
惊讶看到我清理

我自己也很惊讶

惊讶看到那么都学生来捧场
惊讶看到和我很好的学生要来扎场
惊讶看到有学生来问我可以不可以辅导
惊讶遇到学生和我谈绿洲
惊讶看到原来那么多人逃课
惊讶原来我那么爱和年轻人相处

为了这个梦。

我可以洗碗
我可以扫地
我可以到垃圾桶
我可以忍受和两个母老虎工作
哈哈哈哈哈

很忙不过享受在其中

its been so so long

its been so so long since i last blog.

let see what happen right after sibuti camp.

Lu Zhou Youth Camp

i found new hope and new inspiration

these kids are just so naive (in a good way), so teachable, so gifted in many ways

i have found new strength to guide a few of them

spending time with them

lend my ears to them

borrow my shoulders to cry them (if they need one)

i found a group of kids that i would like to follow up on

i called them the F4.

i will upload their photos soon

Henk Jan's Birthday Party

Annette was very happy with our service

Requested for the Zorb Ball and the Bouncer for the kid this time round

Zorb Ball was a bit cacat due to the 'injury' from curtin

but guess what!???

the husband was very happy with our service

and tips us RM100.....

but the most happy thing was i did the event with my F3 (jia xuen, everise and gui wei)

JX is inspire to speak and learn better english (cuz he doesnt know how to answer a 8 years old kid's question)...keep it up JX. i m sure one day u can do well

Everise- spent sometime talking to him. like his character. slow n compose. very steady. just need more focus and good challange

Gui Wei- always slow in talking but very calm person. need to encourage him to express his thoughts more..

It was a busy month but fruitful and challanging.

Thank God for his grace and opportunity

Thank my friends tat have been there (especially those prayer warriors)

Thank my partners (i m not an easy person to deal with)

Thank those kids tat have been supporting the cafe (pls make sure u dont over spend)


..................still got a lot of outstanding quotation that need to be sent out.............zzzzzz

创造历史的营会-爱。零距离夏日青年营

配合教会的联合，
青年团决定来一个夏日青年营
我真的享受在其中
很久没有那种一起来就听到海浪的生活
很久没有不用穿鞋走来走去的生活
很久没有一起来就可以和年轻人祷告的生活
很久很久没有在听分享的时候会感动掉泪
(哭是因为看到神奇妙恩典)
很久没有笑到滚在沙上
(boy boy 和 Ryan 的演技)

这个营会让我看到

看到团契的重要
看到关怀的价值
看到团结的力量
看到复兴的前奏
看到神的恩典

我只能说....
大家要准备好...
复兴将要到来..

(复兴不是人名, 万一你不知道, 复兴是神给团契的一个使命,一个祝福)
