墨尔本之旅

墨尔本之旅

写给妹妹的…

在这一次南下，感受良多。

看见以前blur blur的妹妹都长大了，
以前什么都要kakak照顾的妹妹已经开始为自己的生活作安排了
为自己的将来开始计划了

以前该连问路都不敢的你们

现在已经学会:

自己订机票
自己搭的士去apartment
安排爸妈的晚餐
自己回悉尼

从谈话中发现

你们开始有自己的立场
开始学习取舍
选择科目, 选择group member, 选择朋友
也开始要放弃一些朋友
也有很多泪

成长虽然辛苦不过这是必经的过程吧
继续加油

备注
是时候放弃facebook, 放弃珠光宝气, 放弃韩剧, 支持日剧!

一肚子的火

说好十一点补习。给你们多十五分钟的时间。知道你们迟到。打包了烤面包给你们。你们既让没出现。至到联络上你们才发现你们需要工作。买了folder给你们，老师也到了，面包也冷了。

你们的时间是时间，我们的就不是吗？

本来今天已经很累了。不想写blog的，不过一肚子气。答应自己没把气灭了，不睡觉

问你们要不要买concert的票，你们借口多多。要工作啦，没有空啦，最糟的时，我最有期待的那个少年跟我说，他会直闯dewan suarah, 更说一向来都不用买票的。知道你们会很舍得花钱吃东西，打电话，请喜欢的人吃饭。听了心在滴血。买票是一个支持luzhou的行动。不像去戏院，买了一定要值回票价。更不用说，买票是为了答谢那些在luzhou为你们补习与辅导你们的老师。

你们的行动让我对你们彻底失望。要就买票，不然就不要出现。不要让自己难看。

你们几时才学会不要那么自我，那么霸道，那么没良心。

真的怀疑你们是用什么心态来对luzhou.

mergers of two family...teo & ong = tiong? haha

Today is a special day

Attended brother's wedding today. Amazing. A bit of chaotic in the morning but we manage to sort it out. thank god for the perfect weather for outdoor wedding.

It is indeed a very significant day for the teo's and the ong's. It is two beautiful soul merging into one. amazing... i was asked to give my brother a testimonial. haha. payback time...

my speech

First of all, I would like to welcome Jasmine into our family.

When How first told me that he wants me to be his emcee for this occasion as well as sharing a testimony, I thought this is the pay back time.

I should reveal all his deepest and darkest secret of his innocent youth.

How is full of surprises. As a family member, he never fails to surprise us in different occasion,

How is the Mac Gurvey in our family. His is the person to look for when we need to get the light bulb fit, the alarm clock adjusted, the dvd player fixed , car battery changed, However, he did spoilt some clocks, bicycle and dvd players in his experiments.

How was mischievous as well. He had his firs accident when he was 7 yrs old.

How bought his own bicycle on my father expense when he was 8 yrs old. He literally ask for credit terms from the bicycle shop behind my dad’s office . If I remembered correctly he said something like “ My dad will pay for it” and just drag the bicycle away. Of cuz after a few days, he get his share of rotan punishment.

How jumped the q. Yes. He get married before his elder brother. Luckily, we are not from a traditional family where I have to wear a red underpants. It will be very deadly.


Melbourne=Transformation

Throughout the years, I have seen How transforming to be a better person. The most drastic transformation was during the his stay in Melbourne to pursue his building construction degree . I have observed that he has become a more patient, disciplined and accountable person. I couldn’t understand the drastic change.

It was only until one day when How told me that he has met his dream girl. And he added that this girl has impacted her life in my ways. For How to say something like that, it daunted me. In my mind, he must have met some gangster chick. But to my surprise, during our short stay in Melbourne in 1999, I met Jasmine and she appears to be the gentle spirited, soft spoken and smarting looking girl.

I remembered after our brief meeting, how asked me so how how? Good mah? I answered him, she is a good girl, treat her well.

So jasmine, on behalf of our family, I thank you for standing by him while we all were away from him. Thank you for your support and guidance while he needed the most. Thank you for seeing his strength and impacted his life.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Uncle Jimmy and Aunty Winnie for taking care of Ah how during his stay in Melbourne. Also, to all his friends in Melbourne. Thank you.

A few tips for Jasmine, my sister-in-law,

Living with How

How enjoys his personal space. He has a room by himself in our hometown. His own sound system, own computer. So give him necessary personal space.

My mum secret weapon. Food and soup. I think Jasmine has mastered this. How is a soup person. So cook him good soup and he is all yours.

For How,

You are no longer the young and reckless brother. Although I do miss fighting with u sometimes.

You are now a man.

You are the head of a family.

You no longer can make decision by your ownself.

You must learn to communicate and make decision as one.

Finally let me take a quote from the bible to end....

For How...

Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city. Proverbs 16:32

For Both of You...

As the church is under Christ's authority, so wives are under their husbands' authority in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her. Ephesians 5:24-25

拣选 ...

写给血气方刚的少年人,

我在BBQ时跟你们分享过
我对你们的遭遇,家庭状况与生活遭遇感到困扰与同情

不过我也深信神很爱你们
他在你们的不幸中看到绿洲,
遇到LUCAS老师,
遇到肯和你们补习的老师,
遇到肯教你减肥的老师,
遇到像我的人..哈哈哈

很多人都遇不到,
很多人都还在跌跌撞撞
很多人到今时今日对生活没有要求
很多人都还误打误撞

神让你们打开心眼,你们对生命开始有抱负

我深信神要你们在生活上要有一番作为
他把你们从在人群中拣选出来,
他肯定有他的特别的旨意

你们都是一群很有潜能的年轻人
你们都有很强的生存的意念
我深信一旦你们把生命的方向搞清楚,找到那个定点
你们会比别人走的更远,飞得更高

拣选

拣选。。

最近和年青人相处久了发现大家都blur blur 的
问他们生命的目的和方向，大家的回答都不是很肯定，好像一位司机没有目的的在驾驶

给教会的年轻人

我深信神把你们放在教会是他精心的安排
他要你们自小就有好的道德超练，有一群可以backup你的弟兄/兄弟。
虽然你有你的委屈，家里有状况，情感与情绪需要整理。
不过你是否想过，能在神的应许中和成长是多么美丽的事情
你有没有问过自己，为什么在那么多的年轻人，你为什么选择来青团，来教会加侍奉，来崇拜，

我相信这就是神的拣选。
他在那么多的年轻人当中看到了你们。
看到你们自己看不到的
看到你们的才华，影响力，领袖能力


在圣经中记载了许许多多的年轻人被神拣选成为领袖。。
大维王。所罗门王。但以理。

当你知道自己的存在不是偶然的，是神的精心安排和拣选
你的生命就像有了一个方向
一旦你找到那个定点，生命就不再迷糊。

他已经拣选了你，你的回应呢？

豁出去吧年轻人
让主带领你吧

Internet Addict writing from Melbounre- Internet Cafe

hahaha..this is so funny. I just told internetSian that im officially internet addict. I have been trying to go online the whole day despite i m staying/having holiday in one of the nicest city in the world-Melbourne.

2nd - they are charging AUD15/day for internet access (I think I might go for this)
3rd - Internet Cafe charging AUD3.50 for 30 mins

I found one that is AUD2 for 30mins but it is already closed. hai....

its been a while i dont have to attend my spiritual life
its been a while i dont have to do follow up on those interesting gangster
its been a while i dont have to rush for meeetings
its been a while i m welcome by warm sun when i wake up
its been a while i feel the cool breeze when i walk down the street
its been a while i feel like a tourist
its been a while that i have breakfast (seafood) with my parents next to a river
its been a while that i see my parents just chill in the apartment and talk
its been a while that i have to go to internet cafe to go online
its been a while that i will spent another week with all my siblings overseas....
its been a while......
