Living out Faith

Pics finally!!!! Thanks to Jacqui who took them and posted them on Facebook for me. Think she got on to Facebook so that she can share the pics with me. Oh mine!!! Isn't she just adorable? Wish I could be there to carry and cuddle her. The first grandchild in the family and everyone is just head over heels over her! Jo Claire is her name. Not sure what's her Chinese name yet. Guess Joe and Joanne hasn't decided on it. Jo - God is Gracious. Claire - Illustrious. To me, it's such a beautiful name, befitting for a beautiful child. Well, only problem, daddy is Joe, mummy is Joanne, and now princess, Jo.....Now, Joanne, please get skpye up soon....I want to be able to see little princess and be able to chat and talk to her. This is another one of those times that I really wish I was back in Spore. Missed Joanne's engagement as I was doing my masters in Sydney. Made it back for her wedding and now, missed the birth of her first child......

I'm over the moon!!! Way over the moon!!! My little niece arrived! Yes, arrived today. Not sure what's her name yet. And sadly no pics of her. Hoping that Jacqui or Joe will email me the pics soon! Wish I was home this weekend. Really wish that I could meet my little niece. The first grandchild in the family. Oh well, guess, this is one of the cons of leaving overseas. Never mind....I shall see her when I head home for her one month old party! Can't bloody wait!

Did You Ever Talk to God Above Did you ever talk to God above? Tell Him that you need a friend to love, Pray in Jesus' name believing that God answers prayer. Have you ever told Him all your cares and woes? Every tiny little fear He knows, You can know He'll always hear and He will answer prayer. You can whisper in a crowd to Him. You can cry when you're alone to Him. You don't have to pray out loud to Him. He knows your thoughts. On a lofty mountain peak, He's there. Anywhere you go, He's been there from the start. Find the answer in His word; It's true. You'll be strong because He walks with you. By His faithfulness He'll change you, too God answers prayer. A long while ago I copied and pasted this song in one of my posts. Today I'm doing it again to remind myself that God answers prayers. A few weeks and months ago, Pastor Brett of the church that we're attending in HK talked about 1+1+1, praying for one person for his or her salvation at ...

Yes!!! Back in Hong Kong! Really glad to be back! Hang on, before I go further, Babe and me did have fun in Shanghai. But maybe we stayed there a little too long. Overall, we did have fun, enjoying each others' company. This photo was taken in our hotel. Part of their Easter decoration. We found it rather amusing to see rabbits and chicks. I mean, chicks, what are they thinking of? Bird flu, you know? And look at the poo....there's quite a bit. But at the same time, the rabbits and chicks reminded me of my childhood. I had chicks as pets before when I was really young, think maybe 3 or 4. My first pets and they walked through the rails of my balcony to their death......And rabbits, yes, I had them when I was a little older. This is Nanjing Road. It's basically like Chinatown in Spore. A street for pedestrians. Very crowded, and yes, we were asked by touts if we wanted bags and watches. Was a nice walking streets. I love the buildings. The art deco buildings reminds me so mu...

I must admit that I've this thing about planning. I love planning but don't expect my home to be neat and tidy. It's actually quite a mess at times. But I love planning in the sense that I've always known what my life is going to be in two years from now. I know what I'm having for meals each day, my diary is quite planned. Even with holidaying, I do like to know that I'll be doing. And yes, Babe called me a control freak because of that once. However, its becoming increasing glaring in my face that no matter how much I plan, I'm truly not in control. When I was about to leave uni more than 10 years ago, it was the Asian Financial Crisis and I was feeling rather low then because my plans of entering the hospitality market and working my way up the career ladder went down the drain. I felt lost and without direction. But it was God that led me through a career change and now, I'm truly happy with what I'm doing in my life. That was one of the first le...
