Andrew's Burger

Last Monday, my friends and I went to our friend's -Andrew- burger stall at Silibin, Ipoh to try his burger.

This is Andrew's burger stall -Andrew's Burger-

So, that night, Ummi and I had Chicken Burger Special...

Can you see the sauces flowing down?! Yummy!

While William tried the egg burger known as Benjo...

And then, Vaane had a normal chicken burger...

Andrew's burger taste so good is not because of some secret recipe or any special ingredient; he just uses some ordinary ingredient like everyone else. In my opinion, his burger taste so good simply because he cooks with his heart...

"Well done, Andrew! I prayed that God will use you, your skill and your wonderful burger stall mightily to touch that community at Silibin! I can see that your burger stall is a blessing to many people! Keep it up the good work that you're doing! God bless ya! =)"

Uncle Steven: Deeply Remembered and Missed

Last Wednesday, I received a text message from my cousin sister saying that her dad passed away and I also received a call from my mum telling me that my uncle passed away!

My uncle died of gastric cancer -stage four- He did an operation to remove his whole stomach that was infected by cancerous cells. He also did a few session of radiotherapy. But in the end, he lost in the war and sadly the cancerous cells had won and took over his life.

My uncle is a wonderful husband, father, brother-in-law, son-in-law, a great brother and a fantastic uncle. When I was in KL, he used to call me and talk to me. He always brought me out to eat every time when I come back to Taiping. I still remember that one day I was looking for fried chicken and he just drove me all the way to Pokok Assam to get me the famous fried chicken there.

I always remembered him in my prayer and it is my desire to see him come to know Jesus Christ. But sadly, I was late and couldn't share with him about the good news...

His funeral was on Friday and it was also my very last time to see him. Sending him off was hard and difficult.

Today, he is deeply remembered and missed by everyone of us! "Uncle Steven, I miss you very much and thank you for everything that you had done to me and imparted into my life! I will always remember you!"

I am Broke but I am Not Poor!

On Friday early morning, as usual that I was awake since last night, then my spectacles was oily, so I wiped it with t-shirt. This time, I wiped it hard until I spoiled my spectacles... Cut the story short, I went for repairing and eye scanning. They repair my old one -which I wearing now- then, I need to make a new one because the degree of my eyes increase -getting worse; but not very much- it cost me RM350 for a new pair of spectacle. I'm going to be BROKE once I settle the bill -so far, I just paid RM5o as the deposit- ='(

I think I made a mistake for making a new pair of spectacle because I still can see with my old one plus my old one still can wear after repaired. Sigh... I was so sad and upset the whole yesterday! My heart was aching -as usual especially you think you make a mistake plus spending so much money for the mistake- Sigh...

But then, today, God reminded me about Him as a Father who provides and in control of everything. I was so blessed! Last time, God used the dark sky and sunshine to remind me about Him and today, I sensed that again He showed me the same phenomena! Praise the Lord!

Then, I thought, if I am happy that I didn't spend the RM350 and feeling secure of having the RM350, then, this is not good because I putting my trust and hope on the money -something that cannot last and secure me for life-

Then, I thought about God's promises! Am I not more precious than the sparrows? Of course I am more precious than the sparrows; I am heavenly Daddy's little prince. Why I feel sad that I spent on something that is good for my sight and why I worried becoming broke when I have my heavenly Daddy who is looking after me, taking really good care of me and love me unconditionally!

I know, money is something and without it can be very hard but money is not everything; in addition God is my Jehovah Jireh -the Lord provides- AMEN! I am broke, but I am not poor and I am happy! Praise the Lord! =) I love you, Jesus!

M.E. L..A.M.E.?!

Hehe... Am I LAME?! I think I am very LAME! Haha! My cousin sister always say that I am very lame!

I enjoy being lame because it can make people laugh and make people happy!
M - Making
E - 'em (them)

L - Laugh
A - Are
M - My
E- Encouragement!

I am always encourage when people around me are happy! So, I always try to make them happy and make them laugh by being lame with all my lame jokes, lame action and lame words! Haha!

"A cheerful heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick." - Proverbs 17:22, TLB

So, when people around me are happy, I am also encourage and be happy at the same time! =) God bless ya!

The Beautiful Awakening!

I had a beautiful awakening on last weekend during Mission Candidates Preparation Programme - Part 2 (MCPP-2) at Peacehaven, Genting Highlands!

I guess I had been sleeping for past a year... Wandering off from the right track, go to the left and go to right; searching here and there... Feeling so lost!

I praise God for Pr. Ling who encouraged me to go for my second round of MCPP-2. I was really reluctant to go at first! Out of obedience, I went and I praise God that I made choice to go for MCPP-2. I really praise God and thank God for the blessed weekend! I was inspired, I was encouraged and I found my way back to God again!

"God shine through the darkness! Once again I found the light as my guide! Praise the Lord!"

Pr. Ling -DUMC Mission pastor- prayed for me during the ministry night, God spoke to me through him. God told not to wander off, looking left and looking right. God asked me to focus on Him. God also said, I only have one life and live it for Him! That night was the night I found my purpose again and that night also the night that God picked me up from the darkness!

Wow, I was inspired and encouraged by Aunt Esther's -DUMC missionary in Cambodia- testimony. Someone wanted to kill her, she was lonely and she nearly wanted to give up as a missionary but God reassured her and she obeyed! She even sacrificed her comfortable life to be missionary at Cambodia... I was inspired. =')

Then, I was also inspired and encouraged by this movie -End of the Spear- that Pr. Ling played during MCPP-2. Through this true story movie, I was touched and I finally can see again from my blindness! "I was blind, but now I see!"

Today, I am encouraged! I want to be Somebody for Someone; so that people will see how great, how real and how wonderful God is and people will give all honors, all glories and all praises to God! =)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Blessed Valentine's Day to you! I want to dedicate this sweet video for you all:-

Last Sunday, my best friends from my previous Cambodia Youth Mission Trip came down to Ipoh to have farewell gathering / reunion and makan trip for Sara who is leaving to Australia for study soon.

Ipoh is well known for its foods, so I took all of them around Ipoh and chak chak and chak (*chak means eat in hokkien) until they surrender! Haha... Do you know, we are just like the 8TV Ho Chak crews or Media Corps Coffee Talk, Hawker Wok crews... Haha... Because we eat non-stop and we took picture of every foods that we ate -Just like promoting the foods in Ipoh-

Ok, let's get started... First stop! Restaurant Fok Heng; which near my house. We had some little foods here plus the famouse drink here -Red Bean Blender with ice- After that, we took a break at home and we played Mah Jong! "Sik Wu" hahaha...
