Recipe for these cards
Stamp: SU: Cheek Talk
Ink: SU: Going Grey
Paper: SU Going Grey, Whisper White, Basic Grey

I received a card that made by me - from a teacher. It was really touching to read what she wrote in the card. Thank you mei gu :) You are such an encouragement to me!
收到自己做的卡片,虽然很奇怪,但是很感动!谢谢梅姑的鼓励!我会更加努力!

Orang Miri, trust me.. This is YUMMY


I might be the last one who tried this COCONUT pudding @ Miri, but this is definitely YUMMY! I LOVE IT!!!!!! Thank you uncle Guo En (sheerah's father)! I think our Next Orang Tua gathering, i will buy some and let everyone try out :) The Pudding made from Coconut water as well. Adui... it is really really really YUMMY!!!! Uncle Guo En bought this from Eden nearby Saberkas! Anyone who i will see tomorrow during the BBQ is interested? Let me know and i will go try and get it! :D

懒惰人



懒惰人哪,你去察看蚂蚁的动作,就可得智慧。
懒惰人哪,你要睡到几时呢?你何时睡醒呢?箴言6:6, 9

以前我常常用这两个经文来“讽刺”身旁的朋友。
在大学的时候,为了纪律,我还特地打印这个经文,帖在我的床头上。一打开眼睛就会看到。
最近的自己,开始睡到很晚。

可能因为昨晚也看到“一堆蚂蚁在我面前”
所以今天特别有感触。

今天早上,泡了一杯very low sugar 的咖啡
放在我的桌子上
当我很认真的工作的时候
忽然发现到我的桌子咖啡杯里
都是蚂蚁!!!!!

忽然间这个经文出现在我的脑海
我就开始观察蚂蚁的动作
发现到有一些的问题
1。它们平时都躲藏在什么地方?为什么可以忽然出现?而且是一大群?
2。它们连一杯low sugar 的咖啡都可以notice 到?太厉害了吧!
3。它们真的很努力的把那么大杯的咖啡,一点一滴的带回“家”?

我是否有想蚂蚁一样警醒呢?
是否对身旁的事情很关心,而且很细心呢?
我是否在每一件事情上都会尽力呢?
我是否我是一位懒惰的人呢?

纪律,是时候回来了

Orang Tua Gathering - Food and Movie

主啊!我要赞美祢 I want to Thank You Lord

今天早上我就会和22位弟兄姐妹一起去mission trip. 今天因为一个email, 让我的心情变得不是很好,但是当我把focus放在值得感恩的事时,我想到了这个音乐会。这一次的音乐会,我参与了设计的部分,所以感觉到这个音乐会好像自己的一份子一样。所以很期待。
雅金传道给我的ticket, 我邀请了素素td一起去。我想,我的身旁的人,会懂的欣赏这样的音乐的人,除了和我一起长大,一起学钢琴的td之外,没有更好的人选了。而且,有机会一起这样去听音乐会真的很不错 :)
李忠民牧师用很幽默的方法介绍了这个音乐会。说真的,.. 我对翻译的这位姐妹念念不忘!她翻译的不但很棒,而且她好像天使一样的美丽!真的很很很很很甜美!!!
第一次看到土生土长的卢莉慧姐妹指挥。很棒!很喜欢I want to Thank You Lord 这黑人歌。弟兄的部分很有 “弹性”.
全体诗班员
当天只有司琴-已经很棒了。如果有整个交响乐团就会更惊人!
陈容老师唱歌真的很像Andrea Bocelli。他的歌声真的可以感动人。看晓君传道的样子,就知道她有多么陶醉在其中。我也因为其中一首歌偷偷流泪了。
李忠民牧师指挥时的情景。
去这个音乐会除了欣赏音乐,支持圣乐,支持教会的弟兄姐妹,也为了见十多年不见的老朋友,国宏和吟音!啊!他们还是老样子!但是已经是3个孩子的爸妈了!
当然也为了看看我多年不见的钢琴师傅 - 爱仪老师!
师傅徒弟“三代”合照。其实我和素素是同一个师傅的 :)

以上的照片是我的朋友ian salang拍的。当晚他是自愿者 :)

I love my calendar 2010


I have to say... I LOVE MY 1st 2010 calendar!!!

This is my one and only EXPENSIVE calendar 2010. I used most of my favourite pattern papers for this calendar and all acid free papers. So i think, it is impossible for me to come out with 2 similar calendar this year :) Well, there is no stamping, except the month. I selected 12 bible verses, layout nicely and printed at the back of each month :) It took me a week to complete this design. From research (bible verse) to sketches to idea.

Due to all the papers are in different "mood", so it is not easy to keep this "design" consistent. In order to have consistency, i remain tear edge and stitches at the back of each month. And the layout are repeated every 2 months :)

OK! I don't think i can write out the recipe cause more of the papers are gone :)

Cover:
Paper: Cosmo Cricket: Earth Love: Element, repeat.
Card Stocks: SU: Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip
