hello... its been i think... erm... 2 months since i blog. haha.
what happen to me the last 2 months...i had one month of holiday from september. and i start school on october 1st.
In september, i went to China, Macau, and Hong Kong for about a wk.
My plane stopped at Macau and then straight go to Guangzhou. Then stay there for a while and go to Hong Kong. And back to Macau on the last day. But before the day end, we went back to guangzhou to buy stuff. Haha. Anyway, I will update this next time bah...
Well... today, I got a present from a very good friend in church. Its for my birthday. Really rather advance birthday present.
She got me chocolates.
I think i was rather selfish not to share, but i really dun want to share with anyone else. Haha.
I ate it all at one go.
I really like it coz the chocoates were rather bitter. Its bitter-sweet. Then i was reminded of something call friendship.
Friendship can sometimes be bitter; sometimes sweet. Well, i hope the aftertaste is all it is.
LaiYing, I want to tell you how much i want to thank the Lord that He had set you aside for me to be friends.
I really appreciate our friendship. And as long as we are together with the Lord, our friendship will be everlasting. Even till the end time of the earth. Our friendship will still continue in heaven, last forever and ever. Praise the LORD!!!
Yesterday, my family and I went to Malaysia to watch a midnight movie. Haha. Why neh? so many ask.... cheap lorh, what else. Haha. We watched Resident Evil. Rather nice. But got shocked not at the really shocking parts. But because of the extra loud surrounding sound in the theatre. Louder than Singapore's. Trust me.... My brother say i kicked his chair when i got shocked. wahahahahaha.....
I shall wait for the 22nd....
Come What May!!!
"Blessed be the LORD;
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him."
Psalm 28:6-7

its been slightly more than one week of Si Qiu's death.
definitely we miss his presence in the church. however, we are proud that he has finished what he has to be done on earth.
"I have fought the good fight.
I have finished the race.
I have kept the faith."
2 Timothy 4:7
When i read this passage again, i felt that this is a great challenge to me. To fight well in the battle of sin, to finish my race in life, and finally to keep my faith. To do so many things, and to do well is always a challenge to anyone, but especially to me. I have to admit i am lazy.
So what?
DON'T BE LAZY!!!
what can i do then? oh well... cultivate myself not to be so lazy, pushing myself in the race.
That was one thought. Another thought, is that i remember of Si Qiu. Like i always say, when God take him home, he has finished his race, fought the good fight, and definitely kept his faith.
Sigh... I wonder in the end, what will become of me. There's this song, I think all dead people like to sing to us... LOL.
FIND US FAITHFUL
We're pilgrims of the journey of the narrow road,
And those who've gone before us line the way.
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary,
Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace.
Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
Let us run the race not only for the prize,
But as those who've gone before us, let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives.
Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful,
May the fire of our devotion light their way.
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe,
And their lives we live inspire them to obey.
Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful.
After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone,
And our children sift through all we've left behind,
May the clues that they discover and the mem'ries they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find.
Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful,
May the fire of our devotion light their way,
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe,
And the lives we live inspire them to obey.
Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful.
(P.S. When it says "After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone" It actually means, when we die. Then the children, the next generation, would be impacted of things in our lives, testament for God. Then with all the different memories and clues, it is our hope that it would lead them to God in the rightful way.)

O rejoice in the LORD
He make no mistake
He knoweth the end of each path that I take
For when I am tried and purified
I shall come forth as gold
I was doing my exam paper today and I remember these words that were sang at the vigil.
The vigil service had over 800 people. The most I had ever seen. It shows how well respected he is.
Pastor said these words, ' A man can live 3 times as much as Si Qiu did, but not gain as much respect than he had.'
And i cried. These words were carved in my heart. The song was repeating over and over again.
I started crying in the middle of the exams.
I remembered that morning, I felt weird as it was raining. As though things were going too smooth and something would happen, like that day my grandma pass away.
We were celebrating our 34th anniversary, and the occassion was so happy.
Then, the news was told to us. I was shocked and not believing that Si Qiu has passed away.
The next 5 minutes was no reaction. Then, unknowingly, my tears just flowed at the lost of a friend.
Thoughts came into my mind where God has a plan for everything. And this became a wake up call for everything in life.
A bad note to start the 35th year. But a good lesson to learn.
It may be a bad loss, but Si Qiu's purpose of living has been finished. So he has gone home to be with the Lord.
The song below gives me a lot of encouragement. But now I sing it, I would remember Si Qiu.
May this song comforts all hearts, and to Uncle, Auntie and Si Yu, God has a plan for all of us. Si Qiu has finished his race. He fight the good fight, and had won the prize. Now, he is up there, watching us, continue running in our race of life. He is a good runner, a good fighter. To friends of Si Qiu, you may be comrades in the army, or a family in church, or a brother or sister in Christ, always remember that Si Qiu has touched your heart. Change for the better. Have him as an example. And though it may be sad, always remember what good thing has Si Qiu left for you. No matter is his lessons in camps, or his smiles, every single thing, remember it.
This song is for everyone who is in need.
O Rejoice In The Lord
God never moves without purpose or plan
When trying His servant and moulding a man
Give thanks to the Lord though your testings seem long
In darkness He giveth a song
O rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake
He knoweth the end of each path that I take
For when I am tried and purified
I shall come forth as gold
I could not see through the shadows ahead
So I looked at the cross of my Saviour instead
I bowed to the will of the Master that day
Then peace came and tears fled away
O rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake
He knoweth the end of each path that I take
For when I am tried and purified
I shall come forth as gold
Now I can see testing comes from above
God strengthens His children and purges in love
My Father knows best and I trust in His care
Through purging more fruit I will bear
O rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake
He knoweth the end of each path that I take
For when I am tried and purified
I shall come forth as gold
"according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing i shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Chris will be magnified in my body, wether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Phil 1:20 - 21

What a great lesson, LORD, to magnify Your name even in difficult times.
You have brought home Si Qiu, and at the same time, made us all learn to love you, to treasure people, and to even magnify Your name in these circumstances.
I don't want to shed a tear of grieve. Not to Si Qiu, that he has gone. But to Si Qiu, that i am joyful that you are with the LORD.
Be joyful, my friends and family of Si Qiu. Because the LORD has brought Si Qiu to his care and protection, and that he will never ever anymore suffer in the evil grasp of the world.
One lesson i have learned from you, Si Qiu, is to smile. Smile widely, and having the joy and happiness in God. I want too, to smile widely, and spread it across to everyone around me. And you, have affected me too.
Si Qiu, see you in heaven one day. And then, we shall worship the LORD together as friends and family again.
In rememberance of my dear friend, Ho Si Qiu. 26 August 2007, Sunday.

aha!!! this is such a long time since i blog.
it's my last week of holiday.
i pass my exams. rather happy.
coz i totally didn't know how to do my exam papers. they say there was much moderation done.
sigh~~~ it feels like i have been cheated because i know that is not really my results...
what a failure.
oh~ and junior camp was fun.
but it was also tiring. coz we had lotsa cleaning to do on my first day.
starting from 7 everyday, its been like nonstop work, nonstop cleaning.
but i did have some naps in between. totally no energy to carry on when i don't have the sleep.
but though, GOD also gave me lots of strength to face everyday.... with a smile.
after junior camp, which is now, i am helping my parents in their business.
my uncle is not free though... he went to reservist. which is good news. he needs the exercise.
he is getting fatter and more.... temperate.
well... without him there, and us helping, the place seems more peaceful. and also make me less busy.
because he is kinda irritating though~~~
but... actually i am more busy than yesterday. and plus.... i get more bruises.
i am rather clumsy. i got cuts and bruise... in total, 7.
and imagine.... i have 5 more days to continue...
i would get 35 more cuts and bruises....
and in total, 42!!!
ouch!!! my body!!!
but helping my mother is rather a good experience.
i get to learn many types of thing.
and i told my mum, 'teach me all your stuff, how you differentiate the durians, how you choose them, how you see them. then next time i will stand infront and sell. then you would have time to eat dinner.'
but i kinda think that i wouldn't want to take over the business.
my parents kinda wish there would be someone to take over the business, but actually in fact, they also know that none of us want to. and they want us to choose our path.
they are rather open too.
but thinking of so many things.... i kinda waiver.
well.... i have some more years to think.
long time to think.
maybe after i study my diploma, i decided to continue my studies and work somewhere else.
afterall, i wish to work overseas, and also want to become a big shot when i am older.... like being a CEO of some large company.
probably microsoft... lol.
oh~ and i also realise, i prefer to eat XO durians than Butter durians.
XO durians have a stronger smell than Butter. It is much more bitter than Butter. It is super soft. It is white flesh. It is so bitter that it kinda have some XO taste as well.
Butter durians have a range of very wet (means soft) and rather dry (means lotsa fibre). it is not as bitter as XO. It is not as soft as XO. XO durians are... when you take, you have to be super becareful because it will kinda slip of your fingers if you never take carefully. and that your fingers will sink into the flesh and eventually find yourself touching the seed. Butter durians are more firm than XO. the skin of the Butter is hmm~~~ good!!
But i prefer XO because the eating method is very much different. It's kinda like.... eating the dragon beard sweet. its like melt-in-your-mouth type. But i don't want to offer XO durians for those who doesn't like bitter and soft durians. I would recommend Butter durians instead. :)
oh well... just to tell ya... i am eating durians now. hehe.

everyone have the same perceptions. haha. its the korean show la.
but there's something in it.... just dun care la!
anyway, i have been really down because of so many things.
i have been already giving you all clues after clues, yet u all know nothing.
and yet you all have been hurting me again and again.
and i have tried to ignore, yet things are still getting to me,
like adding on layers of books on my shoulders for me to carry.
how can i afford to let you all know the thruth that really hurts you all?
you all are my precious.
there are so many times where i want to tell all of you. but why must you all reject me?
why must you all push me to the corner of the wall?
why must you all put me in darkness, yet being seen but is just something insignificant.
pricks. painful. why me?

more and more practices for easter concert is coming up.
oh well, its good because then i would be more and more familiarised with all the actions and my parts.

have anyone written your own fairy tale, with you, yourself as the main character?
fairy tales
they are myths and give one a sense of happiness in reading, hence, its call fairy tales.
it's because these stories would never happen hence, people write them.
fairy tales like cinderella, snow white, and 3 little pigs, gives a happy ending. which fairy tales gives a sad ending.
shows nowadays are like another version of the fairy tale. even to the bad side of it, it gives a sense of happiness, it just wether you choose to look the brighter side. in times of hardship, fairy tales are the best to be written down because it gives a relief and hope to them.
do you believe in this world there is a happy ever after?
you ask me, i would say yes.
in this world, things will vanish one day.
dust to dust, ashes to ashes.
our souls will then either go to heaven or hell, happiness or suffer.
but my believe in the happy ever after is not earthly, but heavenly.
when i die, that is the happy ever after.
my fairy tale story is then...
what is yours?

you are my joy and my pain;
my rest and noise;
my love and my hate.
you made me happy to high skies,
yet you drop me to lower grounds.
you made promises with joy,
yet break them with a smile.
you dissapoint me.
you leave me.
my tears uncontrollably fall with sadness.
you break it.
you slain it.
my heart hurts with streaks of pain.
why this so?

i see him....
its such a long time i see him.
it seems that i had so many things to say to him, but no.
i thought i could see him, talk to him.
no.
i thought that they would be so happy to hear my call.
but no.
life is so experiential.
tears of sadness, tears of joy
crying, laughter
all come round.
but why do humans have to go through all these?
why do we have to go through all these times?
God gave us the chance to live as humans who have feelings.
but also gave us to satan, to test us, and then to let our faith to be genuine and precious as gold. so that one day we would walk on the streets of gold, live in that big mansion, with no day and night, with that joyous praise and worship everyday, everytime. all these trying times are the testings.

Meaning For Singing Easter
hello....
i have been indulging on this question, 'Whats my meaning of singing easter this year?'
i had a talk with some of the ''older'' people who is gonna sing for easter. they taught me a lot through their lives and leading as an example.
then i remember about the point that pastor taught during conference 2006. is that if u have no meaning in singing these songs, it means nothing, and the song is nothing.
then i remember that there was once the youth choir was singing 'Lord, I Lift Your Name On High'. the youth choir was singing with the music. and suddenly something went wrong with the player, but the choir sang as though the music didn stop. and they kept on singing. then they realised that the music stop. and they also stop. haha.
and its because they were so in into the sing, so in into their meaning of singing the song.
so whats our reason for singing then?
for me, i want to sing because i want to share God's love to the people who attend the concert. and to also be a testament to others. :)
so... singers, what's your meaning of singing this easter?

PERTH DAY 10 (LAST DAY!!! HSH)
Its that last day. Yeah!!! I am back home now, if not how can i post rite?
What happens today is a wreck of the trip that makes the whole 10 days into a shit!
In the morning, both my dad and i were well prepared to start to move out of the hotel, and then eat breakfast with uncle terrence and then go to church le.
But then, something happen.
My dad went to the car to put the luggages in the car. He opened the door and put some small stuff at the front seat. He left the key at the keyhole. Then he slammed the door. Rather, in nice terms, he closed the door. And the metal thing to off the sensor burst and lost. And that makes it that we cannot drive the car to church, cannot take our stuff to church, cannot put the car in church. Which is a big matter!
So my dad called uncle andru, and uncle andru gave us this shun and started complaining why give him this kind of things to do. Killer because of his mouth. But that doesn matter. He is a nice guy though, coz he gave birth to nice kids.
Then we took a cab with uncle terrence. The travelling fee from Ambassador to churh is 15 bucks AUSSIE!!! Which is like less that a 10 mins drive la!!!
Then we got church, we settled down. Then just nice, auntie chris and uncle andru came. So my dad went to talk to uncle andru about this thing. Then he say he not free to do these. So we say ok lorh, we ask others to do. Then we find uncle gerarld to help us do lorh. And then uncle henry chip in also. Because he know a mechanic who can do that. Then uncle gerarld can drive off the car back to his place and put there. So we ok ok lorh. We anything anyway.
So, after the service, they had a fellowship lunch. Which is kinda more of a weird thing from what we do in Bethany. Everytime, in Bethany, the cooks will cook, unless its some super small thing than the commitee would buy food or prepare easy stuff. But this fellowship lunch is everyone chip in to bring food to share food and eat them together. Cool eh?
So we hurry need to rush back to the hotel to get our luggage, because somebody gonna fetch us. We had uncle wong to fetch us back. Nice car he have. On the way back, my dad forgot about the key, car key. He gave it to uncle henry! So how are we gonna take our stuff?!
Then we have to u-turn back. late le lorh.
So we get the key and then we hurry rush to get the luggage. Sickening driver. Rush rush rush. make my shirt spoil le.
That was the second thing that made the trip wrecked.
Then like that check-in le. And flew off after meeting the others. Pastor and auntie sally fly tmr.
Alrightie. Sleep sleep. tonight very stressful at the plane. CANNOT SLEEP AGAIN! ->bright sun.
Its that last day. Yeah!!! I am back home now, if not how can i post rite?

PERTH DAY 8
Its the big day today! Friday, 26 January '07.
The big day that Chris is gonna be installed.
And it's Australian Day.
Eventhough i slept kinda late, but i made the effort to actually wake up early to go to auntie mary's place for breakfast with the other Bethany team who came. Not all i mean.... We had a lot of joke during the breakfast. Auntie Sally was mean for once, to her own good friend. Or maybe she was always mean towards her own good friend, because they know her well enough. Like they were saying that Uncle Winston is an ancient pharasee, yet live in a mordern world. And he doesn't know how to operate the water heater to dispose the water, and yet he say that the water have to be cleared if not algaes will grow in there. Haha...
Then, off we went to church, help out to prepare food and place for the installation. Chris was so happy, the Singapore team so supports him, I went to peel prawns. Ewww... blood all over my fingers... not the shells, but the head. Then after peeling, we had lunch. Lebanese food. Its Australian day, and Perth is the only mad city that doesn't open their shops during holidays, just to celebrate. So we had trouble looking for food lorh. So, they went somewhere, anything that is open, to buy food. And brought back tons of food to eat, Lebanese food.
After lunch, of course help to clean lah.... how to be so evil to let the aunties clean leh?
So clean le, the aunties went back to hotel to bathe, rest and come back to church at 5. When i want to look for my dad, he went missing!!! Aiyo!
Then i remember, he went back to the city, to get cleaned, and then go with Uncle Daniel to go to the airport to fetch tr. Peng hui and Uncle Terrence.
So i was tired, and i went into the playroom, to find Uncle George and Uncle Victor there worh.... No matter how weird it is to share a room with two old grown man, i still need the aircon and rest. They were reading. So i sat at one end of the couch and fall asleep. Uncle George say that, come and sleep can, but expect some symphony going on later. LOL!!! Anyway, it was 41 degrees outside. KILLER!!!
Soon after, i told Uncle George i want to lie down. Being a man, he gave me the whole couch to lie on. So man right?! Then i lied down, wanting to go back to sleep. Then i realize, Uncle George sat on the matteress, put down his book after a minute or so, then he lied down too. Then i close my eyes. Next minute i heared, is his symphony!!! Wahahahahaha!!! Goodness! I tried to sleep again. But it took me about 5 minutes to get back to sleep.
Someone then came and off the aircon!!! Must be Uncle Victor, coz i think i took his blanket, so it was cold for him. Then i felt it was hot. Until bua-ta-han le, i woke up and went to clean myself up and prepare for the night's programme.
Chris was all well prepared, all-ready. Smiling at me, saying hi. I was happy for him, for the church, for the people.
Then the church start to be filled. Slowly, the Singaporean team strolls in into the church, all prepared for the service. So is tr. Peng Hui and also Uncle Terence. They finally caught onto the plane. All together, 22 people from the Bethany team has come together! All behind Chris for him!
During the service, Chris cried, tears of joy. Well, we somehow cried too, happy for him mah!
The Singapore side, Bethany in Singapore, watched over the webcam. It wasn't very steady la. So it was quite bad. But i know that Chris still appreciate it one in another way.
Well, all things come to an end. The sevice ended. Some are leaving, to go back to Singapore. Pastor Mitch, Mark, Uncle Jacob, Uncle George and many many more.
There was a barrier at the City, so we couldn leave. It was Australian Day mah! Then we stay in church lorh. Then i was standing with some Uncle and Aunties, together with baby Lauren, Nick, and Sook Yee. Then we asked Nick for coke. I was dying to have one. The bottle of coke is smaller than ours, and also expensive. Its 2 bucks arh! But Nick works in coca-cola. So all the F&N drinks he could take for free. So he gave us the Coke Zero. Ok la. Not as bad as the low sugar one. Well, we dared him to give it to Pastor, see if Pastor drinks it.
He really give worh! So is Auntie Sally! And Pastor drank coke!!! Aiyo! Everyone was taking pictures of him drinking. haha!!! But its kinda weird. Its not really the Singapore people are taking. But the Aussies are! Coz, its like we always see pastor, we know what he likes and dun likes, and he dun drink coke de mah. But the Aussies dun really see him as often de la. But they seem more excited than we are worh. haha!!!
After everything arh, still can go where la.... Of coz come back to hotel la, together with Uncle Terrence, and tr.Peng Hui.
Weird leh... where's my dad. He actually dumped me and went for supper with Uncle Gerard and Camy worh! Me leh? Not the eating part la... But i want to talk to Camy la......
Such an irritating father....
Oh well, sleep le lah. Dun wait for him le! So long still haven't come back.
....arh! There is the knock.....
