Heart-warming

I have come across a one meaningful e-mail that I would like to share it with you.
Here how it goes:

Dear son, Dear daughter
The day you find that I have become very old,
try to have some patience with me & try to understand me.

If I get dirty while eating..
if I have some difficulty dressing.. be patient!
Remember the hours that I spent teaching you these things when you were small.

If I repeat the same thing dozens of time,
do not interrupt me!
Listen to me!



When you are small, you kept asking me to read you the same story,
evening after evening, until you fell asleep
And I did it happily!



If I do not wash myself so often under the shower,
do not reprimand & do not tell me that it is a shame
Remember how many excuses I had to invent to make you take a bath when you were small.

Be seeing my ignorance of new technologies,
do not laugh at me but give me time to understand.
I taught you so many things..
to eat well..
to dress well..
to behave well..
how to confront the problems of life..

If sometimes I lose memory or am not able to follow a conversation,
give me the necessary time to recollect & if I do not get there,
do not become a nervous & arrogant person,
because the most important thing for me is to be with you
& to be able to speak to you.

If I refuse to eat,
do not force me!
I know very well when I am hungry & when I am not hungry..



When my pour legs will not allow me to move as before..
Help me in the same way as when I held your hands to teach you take your first steps.

& when one day,
I shall say to you that I do not want to live anymore..
that I want to die,
do not get angry..
because one day, you will also understand!

Try to understand that at certain age,
we do not really live anymore.
We simply survive!

One day, you will understand that in spite of all my errors,
I always wanted what was best for you.



You do not have to feel sad, unfortunate or incompetent
in front of my old age & of my state.
You have to stay near me, try to understand what I live for.



Help me walk, help me to end my life with LOVE & PATIENCE.
The only thing that I need from you is a SMILE & a lot of LOVE.

I love you...my son, my daughter!

Your dad, your mum.

Awesome!!

Yesterday, my baby and I along with Kevin, Sharon, Daniel, Daniel's *ahem* friend and James went to watch Transformers at Gurney Plaza. As expected, the cinema is damn packed with people. Transformers tickets is really selling like hot cakes!! I really loves this movie. Especially the scene where Bumble Bee cried...it's hilarious! And and... the scene where the small toy robot said, "Tell him that he's tall". That is soooooo funny!! Overall, I enjoyed this movie!! *Love it*

I'm gonna watch it the second time...and again and again!! hahaha...


Next movie..............

ICE AGE 3!!!!!!

Worshiping You by Deluge

Verse:
Take this offering that I bring
Humbly I fall on my knees
To proclaim You're everything
My life's nothing without You
Take my hand and lead me through
You are my sustaining love

Pre-chorus:
I live to worship You
I live to worship You

Chorus:
Here I am worshiping You
With all I am worshiping You
I'm bowing down in spirit and truth
With lifted hands worshiping You

Bridge 1:
We're not ashamed of You
We're not ashamed of You
We're not ashamed of You

Bridge 2:
I'm gonna worship You forever
I'm gonna worship You
I'm gonna worship You forever

I'm gonna worship You

Have a listen to this if you haven't heard of it. (Yahh...I know I'm kinda outdate) *big smile*

Prayer

Hosea 14:8 - "I am the One who answers your prayers and cared for you"

Psalm 55:22 - "Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall"


*As you hit "rocks" or "storms" that is about to rock your world, pray to God today and leave your storms in His capable, comforting hands. Remember, true prayer is powerful and effective!!

Finally....

Ooo....TRANSFORMERS!!! The day we have all been waiting for.....has come!!!! *Yahhh~*

*Can't wait!!!*

Father's Day

I bet everyone knows what day is yesterday. What else would we celebrate the holiday that always falls on the 3rd Sunday of the month of June apart from Father's Day??

Father's Day is a special day celebrated to honor our fathers for everything they do for us throughout their life. Different people celebrate this day differently such as giving gifts, having special dinners or having some family-oriented activities.

Well, as for my family, we have decided to have our dinner at Azuma Japanese Restaurant at Queensbay Mall. All of us are first-timer except for my sister's bf. Since it is Father's Day, a special father's day set is included in the menu for that day. (but I forgot what it is called but it taste great!!)

The Teppanyaki is highly recommended. And there is some Tofu (sorry, I get too carried away with the food that I forgot to take note of the name) as an appetizer which you should try as well as the Green Tea Ice Cream (handmade by them) as a dessert.

Here are some pictures we took on that day:

Mum & Dad

Eldest sister & bf

Baby & me

After dinner, we have a walk around Queensbay Mall to digest the food we had just consume before heading to Baskin Robbins for our dessert. *Burrpp!...Oppssie!!*

Oh well, that's pretty much how we celebrate our Father's Day.

How about you???

Love it or Hate it

DURIANNN!!!!!

Well, I guess the season of durian is upon us...

I can say that people either hate durians or simple love it. I think the most distinguish characteristics of Durian is it's smell (aroma). To me, the smell of it is unique and rather strong I must say *you can smell it from far* and it's intensity in taste. That's what I love about durian.
But, I guess the unique smell is what people might get put off by it as well.

But, I can say that..... *yelling*

I'M A DURIAN LOVER!!!


Durian also hailed as King of Fruit

So, are you a durian lover like I am??

Delighted

My baby bought me a dress today. I'm just ecstatic!! Thank you baby!! *noisy kisses*
I absolutely adore wearing dresses because they are so comfy and easy to wear, it's a whole outfit in one swoop. Just a toss on a shawl or cardigan and go. Besides, they are versatile for any occasions, feminine and flatter the curves.

As a dress lover, I am always on the prowl for the next best piece and I also realize that my wardrobe was severely lacking in dresses as well. *Moreover, my baby promised to buy more dresses for me...Oh!! I'm so excited!*

Well, I am definitely expanding my dress collection by adding florals, striking collections that can easily add zest and color to my wardrobe. *I guess this is a touch of glam to liven up my dull wardrobe*


wheeeeeeeee.........!!!~

Oh ya! and my baby...well, he's ecstatic over his new gadget....DESKTOP!! I pray that he will be able to get his new desktop as soon as tomorrow because according to him, HE DOES NOT LIKE TO WAIT! Haha... *it's torturing for him I guess...poor little baby*

Food Craving

Many people suffer from food craving occasionally. Food craving come on suddenly and are tough to resist. Right now, I'm craving mostly for Ice Kacang and Chendol at New World Park Food Court located at Swatow Lane!! It is just perfect for a hot afternoon nowadays. I guess I shall go there this weekend to outwit my food craving. *Big smile*

New World Park Food Court at Swatow Lane (also called "Sin Sei Kai")

Ice Kacang

Cendol

Recently, I have tasted Penang Road's Cendol at Sunshine Farlim when my mummy and I went to stock up our groceries there. I never knew such stall (in a shoplot) existed until my mum told me about it. Honestly, I have never tried Penang Road's Cendol before, but after trying it for the first time, I personally think that the succulent taste will drown you as well.

So, if you are somewhere near Farlim area searching for something cold to quench your thirst in a sunny hot afternoon or if you happen to shop in Sunshine Farlim, drop by at the shoplot (it's near the entrance) where the stall is located to taste the mouth-watering Cendol.


*slurppp!!*

Musical Masterpiece

Hillsong

Have you heard of Hillsong? If you are not probably a Christian, you might not have heard of them before. (But that's not always the case as some non-christian do heard of this band)

I have been a Hillsong's fan since I listen to their songs some years ago. As always, Hillsong has a freshness to their songs that goes the distance. Their songs are upbeat and genuinely heartfelt, it's refreshing and uplifting as well.

If you ask me to pick a favorite song on all their albums, I would be hard pressed to pick one as I have heaps of favorite songs of theirs. Why so?? One word... AMAZINGNESS, that's what!! They are all amazing, inspiring and anointed, but some of the ones that stuck me the most were, "At The Cross, Worthy is the Lamb, Shout to the Lord, Mighty to Save, Here I am to Worship, Oceans Will Part, One Way Jesus, Emmanuel, One Desire, Jesus Lover of My Soul, The Power of Your Love, Through It All".

And recently, I listened to this album, "This is Our God"....I was especially drawn to "This is Our God". An amazing song that keep drawing me closer to God, beyond words where I was touched immensely by its powerful lyrics and it is just so moving. This is a song that I could play on repeat for hours on end. Definitely give it a listen for as the moment you listen, it will struck you right into your heart.

This is Our God (Lyrics)

Your grace is enough
More than I need
At Your word I will believe
I wait for You
Draw near again
Let Your Spirit make me new

Chorus:
I will fall at Your feet
I will fall at Your feet
And I will worship You here

Your presence in me
Jesus light the way
By the power of Your word
I am restored
I am redeemed
By Your Spirit I am free

Bridge:
Freely You gave it all for us
Surrendered Your life upon that cross
Great is Your love
Poured out for all
This is our God
Lifted on high from death to life
Forever our God is glorified
Servant and King
Rescued the world
This is our God

I am so blessed to have heard this musical masterpiece. Take a little time off from whatever you are doing and give it a listen to some of these as well:

1) You'll Come
2) You are Faithful
3) Adonai
4) Across the Earth
5) Alive in You
6) Follow the Son

There's more than these track listed above. So better still, grab their album as an introduction to it and I pray that these songs would touch your heart, remind you once again of the breathtaking wonder of the cross and that you'll be ushered into the divine presence of God wherever you are.

God Bless!!

Psalm 27:1 - The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When you look in the mirror..

So... did you take a good look at yourself in the mirror?? What do you see?? How do you see yourself??

Yesterday, I came across a blog about taking a good long hard look in the mirror and where she asked the Lord, "What do You see Lord? What do You see here that was worth keeping? What good can I be to You now?".

After reading it, I began to think and imagined how exactly the Lord sees me when He looks at me because when I look myself in the mirror, all I can see is the FLESH!!

And it struck me immediately that my Father was showing me that I should always look toward Jesus for the reflection of how I should see myself for it is only when I look at Jesus I can see the imperfections in me..where I come short of His Glory and Righteousness.

So, I prayed to Lord, "Father, You see everything about me and know everything there is to know about me. Show me how You see me through Your eyes and help me to see myself as You do so I may know Your perfect love in me and I can perfectly love others too."

As I read through "Our Daily Journey", I couldn't agree more to this when these sentences catches my attention...

"The knowledge of ourselves is only possible through our knowledge of God. He is the standard by which we can come to know who we really are. He's the only one with a STRAIGHT MIRROR."

Pray Psalm 139:1-4, 23-24

What do you see??

Take a good long hard look in the mirror. Tell me, what do you see??

Addicted to....

Current state of mind : Missing my baby!!


What I'd like to do now : Yell!! ...... "Tew ay luh so-lay duh may vee!!"

The-Must-Watch-List 2009

What movies is a must for your "Watch-List" this year? Some people don't plan their viewing habits that far in advance but some do. Well, I can say that I belong to the second category.

These few movies are my selected ones that piqued my interest and have been on the top of my "Must-Watch-List" as we enter into 2009.

1) Angels & Demons


Released date : 21st May 2009

2) Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen

Released date : 26th June 2009

3) Ice Age 3 : Dawn of the Dinosours

Released date : 1st July 2009

I always love Scrat, the squirrel who is constantly hunting for his acorn to survive. But to either bury the acorn or eat it, fate always seems to get in the way. I love watching him throughout the series as he always ends up in humorous and often painful situations having to fight for his acorn. Many view him as a Breakout Character and I couldn't agree more!

4) Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Released date : 16th July 2009

5) Twilight Saga : New Moon

Released date : 26th November 2009

*Ahhh.....Can't wait to watch it on the BIG SCREEN!!!*


So, here's my list, what's on yours??

Home sweet home!!

The trademark of Penang

Finally!! After a long 4-hours drive, we're home!! *big smile*

Yesterday, me and my baby were busy packing our stuffs to get ready to get our butt back to where we belong... PENANG!! We were totally exhausted from all the carrying, pushing and dragging heavy stuffs from our room to the lift to the car... imagine that!! And we really don't expect we have this much stuff... until we packed!! But, fortunately, all those stuffs...fits well in our little Kancil. Pheww!!

Until now... DEAD TIRED is the only words that can describe how I am feeling this moment. So, right now... I actually heard my comfy bed paging for me. I guess I shall call it a day!! Bonne nuit monde!!


*dragging my strengthless body to the bed*
