Where do I belong.....

You Belong in London

You belong in London, but you belong in many cities... Hong Kong, San Francisco, Sidney. You fit in almost anywhere.
And London is diverse and international enough to satisfy many of your tastes. From curry to Shakespeare, London (almost) has it all!

My cooking....

You Are an Excellent Cook

You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning.
It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire...

My Inner Child....

Your Inner Child Is Surprised

You see many things through the eyes of a child.
Meaning, you're rarely cynical or jaded.
You cherish all of the details in life.
Easily fascinated, you enjoy experiencing new things.

Ropes Trick

I was playing with ropes today, learning to tie some knots that I learnt on board the Doulos. Why not make it into a creative arts? So I got my blue mugs & tea spoon out of the shelve.

Firstly, I tie the mug's holder or the mug-ear with ropes & stick it with glues, (it's good for protecting your hand when having hot tea!) then I make a swirl shape motive & paste it on the side.
Next, I get the tea spoon and tie some ropes on the tip and put some glue to secure it.
Lastly, I make a big swirl on my desk and stick some paper-selotape at the back to secure it (that would be the coaster!).
There, my own custom make "Ropes' motive" tea set! (Oh! Got to have my peppermint tea now!)
Try it yourself, it's really fun and easy to make!

New lesson learnt after depression...

God really have His own way of dealing with people like me, He allowed people that I hate the most working with me in the same office. They are giving me hard time, making me blow-up, drives me up the wall with their horrible & ridiculous comments. Many a time I felt like getting a gun & shoot this people down, yiiiiiiiiii......good grief! (O Lord, forgive me!)
Well, after much prayers, devotions & reading some good Christian books, God slowly showing me that I could handle the situation if I let Him take control.

God's deliverance does not come from trouble, but in trouble. He offers victoriuos living, not whimpering back door escapism. ~Dr Crossip

Something I read from book...

"It has always been easier for Christians to be thrown to the lions than to be laughed at." ~Tom Rees

Overload.....oops!

I was searching for "Overload" with googles search engine, and this photo pops in my computer. Oh my! What an interesting sight! (The more I look into it I saw myself in it!) I discover something important...
"Don't take on the burdens that are way beyond what we can bear, or else we'll be furious and carry unnecessary baggages upon ourselves!"

Well, right now I was feeling like being stretch with heavy loads and hanging on the air. I guess it's time to unload some and cast it upon the Lord whom embraced me when I need Him the most. Thanks God for reminding me! ^@^

Music class...

Well, what's new on my schedule... routine paper works, worship leading, playing piano, looking sulky in the early morning, moody, contact members of the church, prepare cell group materials....blah blah blah! :(
Something new for this month, I'll be organizing three month music lesson for anyone that is interested in learning how to play the piano, drums & guitar. I am in charge of teaching the piano class. (Yeah! Extra pocket money! :>) I was wondering why there were always just the girls attending the piano class, and the boys will always pick drums or guitar. (Mystery!?) Anyone have any clue why? Could it be a universal thingy? Or this thingy only happen in my church? (I am scratching my head now......) (@.@)?

Love for children


I always have love for children, to teach them, play with them, and see their big wide eyes staring with amazement as I tell them the fairy tales. Would be lovely to have my own children, isn't it?

Good memories














Just some photo from my trip climbing the Mt.Kinabalu, didn't make it to the top though! It's a good memories spending time with friends from far, of course most importantly with my girlfriend! Enjoy the picture!

Lunch Terror!

Every friday morning there is a gathering for Golden Age group, and usual lunch is provided for everyone and someone invited me to join their lunch in the room. When I step into the room, I saw there were a few big round plate with some skin thingy on top of it with dark brownish color, I was wondering what's that? And I spoon it on my plate and take a bite, it was interesting taste and texture to it, and I asked the one whom invited me what was it. She told me that it was Pig head's skin cooked in Soya Sauce! WHAT!? I just ate a pig head's skin and it is now swimming in my stomach! (Yiiii........) You know sometime in mission field you need to just eat something you never seen in your life, and it's an awful feeling try to swallow it down your throat! (I learn not to asked what was I eating when I was on the field. Oh! I should remind myself everytime I have my friday lunch!)

E-A-S-T-E-R

Easter Day is one of my favorite events of the year, I think partly because I am egg's lover, and I have eggs almost everyday in cooking & baking.
(Couldn't live without it!)
Easter Egg symbolise new birth, new beginning, new life; when I think about Our Almighty God gave up His son for us, it's like a chicken lay down its eggs for us to have food, it's a sacrifice. (Funny to describe it that way!)
Wish you all a Happy & Meaningful Easter Day. (Don't forget to search for the golden egg!)

Old-fashion Worship

Two days ago, I was just surfing for some free Christian Music on the net, and I can't quite remember how I got into this website - The Secret Place Ministries. This site offers free worship songs for download and sampling, I love free stuff! (Who's not?) I enjoyed the simple words and arrangement of songs, funny to mention that it's pretty hard to find quiet & peaceful worship songs now a day. (Sound like the world we live in, doesn't it!) Most of the worship songs in the market today, it's just rock, fast tempo, upbeat songs; I do like them, but for my preferences I rather have quiet worship that enables me to be still in the presence of the Lord. (I guess I'm old-fashion......maybe I should grow a beard?)
Check out the sites below if you're old-fashion like me!

Not Just Peanuts


An agricultural chemist of international fame, George Washington Carver developed hundreds of uses for the peanut, soybean, pecan, and sweet potato. He wanted to help the poor southern farmer whose soil was depleted from years of raising cotton.

Carver converted these lowly peanut and sweet potato into shaving cream, salad oil, instant coffee, vinegar, cold cream, synthetic tapioca, and non-toxic colors, from which crayons were eventually made.

A Congressman once asked Carver where he learned all these things. He said from an old book, the Bible. The Senator was amazed that the Bible told about peanuts. Carver replied that it didn't, "But it tells about the God who made the peanut. I asked Him to show me what to do with the peanut, and He did."

5 easy steps to make Japanese Sushi

1. Cook 2 cups of rice as you would normally do with the rice cooker.
2.When the rice is cooked, pour in 2 spoonful of vineger/lemon juices (if you like a bit more sour, pour in extra spoonful), 2 spoonful of sugar & 1 spoonful of salt. (The measurement is 2 vineger : 2 sugar : 1 salt) Stir it evenly and leave the rice to cool down completely.
3.prepare your stuffings such as tuna with mayonaise, stir fry eggs, cucumbers, raw fish, mushroom, pretty much anything you like! (or anything you find in your kitchen.)
4.Prepare the seaweed (or called Nori in japan) in measurement of slightly bigger than A4 paper size. (customize as you like!)
5.Place the seaweed in the bamboo mat, put the rice (make sure it's cool down completely) 1/4 of the seaweed, place your stuffing the center of your rice, roll the bamboo mat tightly and make sure the stuffing doesn't come out. Slice the sushi roll into 4 to 5 pieces with sharp knife (sprinkle some water on knife for easy cutting) and there you are Home made Sushi in five easy steps! Try it today!
(don't forget to place a small plate for Soya Sauce dipping and some wasabi)
