Last night went to bank to manage my monthly financial planning. I have been praying hard for da zhuan’s camp offering. During university life, it was not difficult when it came to offering as i always have remaining pocket money. Regardless of how much i spent every month, i had no worries of how much i manage to save each month.
November has just started, but i guess i have withdrew more than what i earned this month. I earned quite few this month due to unpaid leave for convocation holiday. I told prince lychee that i intended to offer a token of appreciation to da zhuan. He asked me to pray for the amount.
I pray again specially for this during Saturday prayer meeting. Tears rolling in my eyes and you guess what, prince lychee who was sitting beside me kacau me, saying like that also wanna cry. Refreshed back the moment in camp, juniors and even seniors stand up and out to shine. Their courage and faith touched me.
It was so rush that day that i didn’t bid goodbye with them. Sorry about that. I came to this camp with an excited but heavy heart. Indeed, the pushing force for me to be there is because I miss tuan qi brothers and sisters so much. Guess this would be the only camp after graduation where I know most of the seniors and juniors.
We always share about widow’s offering. But to be frank, i can’t understand thoroughly her feeling. Last night, two transactions was involved, one for da zhuan, one for my own account. Prince lychee who stood beside me suddenly came out with a sentence that struck me. “You give that much for tuan qi, and yet left so little for yourself, you are still the same, always give more to others”. I stared at him, not knowing what to say~
I just taught The Lord’s prayer yesterday in Sunday School. “Give us today our daily bread....”, I do hesitate to offer the amount that keeps playing in my mind.... however, GOD in His very own and wonderful way, told me to “fang shou” and let him be the provider.
I offered all the remaining of my salary and there are few weeks to number before December. No worries ya, what I have is more than enough. >_< I pray that the offering is used to the fullest to bless brothers and sisters. Although it’s just a penny, I believe GOD will somehow multiply it. Story of widow’s offering becomes more significant now, not just merely a story out of many stories.
All i have is from GOD and it’s an experience for me to fully rely on HIM as my provider. I love tuan qi and GOD love me more than that.

Yeah, I am back from Kemamam, my very 1st business trip with manager and colleagues.
After coming back, my mood is super duper good. Counting GOD’s blessings every move I make. Plus, it was raining when i popped out of my blanket this morning. This business trip was not merely for work purpose; instead i enjoy scenery that comes into picture, every piece of sharing with colleagues.
Dear friend, now I am a working adult and yet I feel like I am pampered in office. Wakaka. I went out with two big brothers and they really take very good care of me. Both of them kept buying food + titbits to eat. Four-to-five hours of journey was relaxing as we shared lots of childhood memory. My manager even shared his pre-pakto history with us, very funny and movie-like.
I had a very filling breakfast. My favourite roti bakar wor....i ate quite a lot. Hai Peng Kopitiam, heard that it’s well-known in Kemamam. Had my 1st full cup of kopi and mini-sized nasi dagang....hehe....
Bought 30 packets of keropok, ‘kongsi’ with colleagues 20 packets, promise to bring some for Pangkor camp. Yeah! Can’t imagine how enjoyable the sharing time with No.1 keropok in hand.
Almost forget that today is Friday. Tonight will attend Mrs.Chua’s wake service at Nirvana Memorial Park. Although not knowing her that much, the purpose I go there is to pray for her and her family. This kind of scenario gives hard impact to me as it reminds me to appreciate each and every breath that GOD gives me. Rev Chua is surely very sad and for your information, he was the one who baptised me last year.
Tomorrow is another exciting journey for me ---- theology class on religion. Prince Lychee has sudden business trip to Sibu, thus not joining for the 1st class.
P/S: Ding dong ding dong is in the air. May GOD bless the class and strengthen those who prepare and join. Ding dong ding dong is back to foyer lembaran. I took up the 1st wave, ended, here comes 2nd wave. Reminding every one of us that ding dong ding dong is not carrying Apple Sis's shadow, let it shines in GOD's glory ya. Encourage brothers and sisters to grow deep in GOD together.

This week is considered a free-and-easy week for me. No due date to meet.
Thank GOD for comforting me whenever i need HIM. I have a book in my hand, Take it to heart. It is a good devotional book whereby every article is accompanied with a few bible verses to support. I flicked through it again....
I have worries in my mind now. Not knowing how to take it.
Morning call this morning somehow has distracted me. I can’t concentrate even when i am chatting with my colleagues. I typed out the prayer item which is the previous post.
I am so thankful that I have a circle of Christian colleagues in Yokogawa. Although we don’t officially meet each other, we know there is always someone in office supporting us anytime. I share the prayer item with Yokogawa Christian loop, and I receive a few emails from them encouraging me to be strong and will also keep me in prayer. How great is our GOD to gather us in one family.
Tomorrow is another exciting trip for me. Kemamam, a new place in my dictionary. Gonna pack my good mood there. I got my own room with everything equipped, 32” TV, coffee & tea maker, air-cond, wifi etc, should enjoy it with good mood, right?
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous be shaken.
Psalm 55:22
Xiao ping guo, be strong and continue to ‘super-glue’ smile on your face. Remember that GOD always make you smile so that you smile at others.

Good morning everyone.
Another month ended and here comes the new month.
I called back home this morning jubilantly, however, ended up with sadness.
My aunty was admitted into hospital last week and now my uncle was admitted last night, around 11pm.
Their days are numbered and I feel sorry for this.
They are now in Sarikei, Sarawak and I am living far away from them, not being able to fly back.
My dad is not feeling well, but he denies to go for medical check-up etc.
Many of my father’s family members passed away due to cancer.
Tomorrow I will be going to Terengganu for working purpose.
It is a good opportunity for me to go out and explore but I welcome this news down-heartedly.
I pray that I am strong enough to go through this.
Do keep me in prayer. Thanks a lot.
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Psalm 23:1
GOD bless.
