麻雀虽小但五脏俱全，在此睡一晚还好啦。

买？不买？

经过商场看到了这个缝纫机好想买回家玩，它体积小巧，功能不错，
价钱是我愿意付的价码。但是买这个玩具接着要买和囤积的周边
商品有布料，线，纽扣。。
其实买这缝纫机是有好处的，能够修补或改一些衣服也能学做衣服，包包。。
买它绝对不会浪费钱。但是买了它，可能用了几次就会把它打进冷宫
的几率高过会充分的用它做东西和秉持着‘家里越少东西越好原则’没买它回家。

会思考和计算该不该做一些事或买某些东西是优点也可能是缺点，我往往都因
为太会算而放弃了一些冲动锁能带来的改变和新的喜乐。或许有一天我会把它
买回家。

I want to keep this so that I know how to behave

This is Adriel Kwok and he is 7 years old. He has moved from preschool class to
junior class in sunday school.

As i sit with him today at the service, he showed me the communication book that
he used to have in his preschool class.He told me that he want to keep it so that he
knows how to behave.

Inside the communication book, there is this "GREAT"class rule which the children
will be reminded of every sunday. It also has a summary of the lesson each sunday
to keep the parents updated.
G-eeting the teacher
R-aise your hand when you want to talk
E-ee, when it's dirty, we have to clean up
A-ttention, giving attention to the teacher
T-hank You. Say thank you when help is given


It warms my heart as i heard Adriel said that he wanted to keep the communication
book so that he knows how to behave. I think he is a relational boy, that's why he
want to keep the book.May be 1 day, his communication book will be missed place
or thrown away but my prayer for him is that he will have a real relationship with God
and wanting to obey His rules (His word).

Double Decker Bus

The route to work is to take bus 62 and change to bus 90. I nearly miss the bus
because it came as a double decker bus. All along there is only single deck bus for
bus 90.

The daily journey to work on bus 90 is either i can't board the bus or board a bus
that's pack like sardine. As the bus travel toward my work place, many people could 
not board the bus.

By providing a bus 90 double deckle bus during peak hour was a great blessing to all
people taking this bus to work. Not only i can board the bus, i've the luxury to have a 
seat and do my reading. 

I hereby give my applauses to SBS transit such a transport for making such an flexible change.

Thank God for the invention of double decker bus.

God, thank you for the blessing

Elene bake me a chocolate banana mouse cake for me for my birthday. A wonderful gift, though the cake perish after it has been eaten but her gift of love I will remember for life.

Another gift that i recieved is the birthday song that caleb and cheryl sang to me over the phone and a birthday present that is yet to be recieved. But the gesture of remembering and the song is enough to warm my heart.

I dislike birthday celebration partly because i don't like the attention to be on me as i felt that it's so self-centered and the world emphasise so much on birthday celebration.However, God taught me to take birthday celebration as a time of fellowship and catching up with one another. As i go for dinner with shuling, dawn, huishan, fion, guichan and philiana today, i really enjoyed the time spent together to catch up and the friendship that we have.

I was wondering will we have such time of catching up when we're in our 50's or 60's? Or maybe by that time we'll be attending each other funeral.Ha..ha..

Another lesson that god taught me is that i used to think who is my best friend? Do i have a best friend? But why am i so stubborn in wanting to pursure after an exclusive friendship or a special relationship? I think it's the desire to be loved and wanting to be special in someone eye. However, isn't it wonderful to learn to build friendship and cherish every friend that God place in my life. Simple enjoy the friendship and love with one another. God does place people in my life to love me and to be loved by me.

God, i'm thankful for all the blessing and love that you gave me.The friendships that i have and the family love that you gave to me.

Good colleague

Thank God for good colleague who help me to find the structure drawing which i needed to do my work.
I've been searching high and low for these few day but was in vain. Simply don't know how to go
about to look for data that i need. To find the type of rivets that i need is so difficult.

Gu Gu and Gor Gor

On the 1st Sep, Carys Tan Enxi call "Gor Gor (哥哥）clearly for the 1st time. 1st Nov, Carys Tan Enxi call "Gu Gu (姑姑）clearly for the 1st time. I guess it's difficult to pronounce 'g' sound for young kid. She has no problem calling 'pa pa' and 'ma ma'.
