Sharing the Good Baby News

2011-07-27T21:42:00.002+01:00

Nervous, Hopeful, Grateful, Pleaseful, Thankful to God.

got his finger scratching his head =)

the scan was at his fifth months (20weeks). our midwife was as excited as we are, she took lots of shots but baby was too camera shy. this one is after the 10th effort she did...bless her....

sharing the baby news is a great joy and also an awkward moment for me... just have to get the idea settle in...and just because i don't really feel as mature enough to have one.....anyway pregnancy was not too bad for now and since the beginning and hopefully it will be smooth until bb is borned. i can now feel he is moving quite actively esp. when it is time to get up, when i'm eating and also when there is sounds around.

there is a ban to many things i like to do and eat. i miss cycling, swimming, sushi, soft boiled eggs, Sichuan very hot food etc....this is just a pre-caution for me... maybe it doesn't have to be so strict =)

so i do appreciate my God, my mum and all the advices my friends, brothers and sisters and colleagues have shared.

A Do-It-Yourself Trip in Galway

2010-07-28T13:09:00.009+01:00

What brought me to Galway? I would say it is Jenny dear. According to her colleagues Galway is a nice place to visit. So here we go GALWAY! Before reaching Galway we stopped by at Pei's home which next door is her marvelous bakery workshop. Once she opened the door, we all went 'yayyyy'. Pei was so generous for us eating and sampling her good stuffs.

Pei's wonder tarts

Today Galway has become a popular tourist place in Repulic of Ireland. It is only a few hours drive from Dublin. It has an atmopshere which is same like when you visit Edinburgh. Lots of foreign tourists and excursions available. Instead everyone here decided to follow my DIY excursion. I picked up some of the excursion leftlets and start drawing out routes and plans. It is easy to plan since we have the car plus it is cheaper.

Some weird stuff seen at next to the motorway to Galway

My initial planned route: starting from Galway --> Blackhead --> Cliff of Moher --> Galway
Then turned out: Galway --> Ballingvaun Bay --> Blackhead --> Ballingvaun Junction --> Cliff of Moher --> Galway

My planned route using the tourist brochure

1st scene is Dunguire Castle

Behind Dunguire Castle

The Burrows

Until we reach the Ballingvaun Junction

Break for lunch

Sundried tomato

Nightime in Galway. This area was full of Irish pub and free Irish music.

Wing Wah Restaurant, Birmingham

2010-07-19T20:50:00.002+01:00

My so young sister mentioned about this place. Wing Wah besides doing restaurant, they do supermarket and travel agent too.

You can have just buffet or buffet and steamboat. The buffet has dim sum and usual chinese buffet food. There are only few kinds of dim sum, that all in photos below. They have porridge too (made immediately once you order). All dim sums tasted nice. Does anyone know any good dim sum buffet in UK?

My plate of food. However I think their usual Chinese buffet was bad. Too dry and bad bad bad. I guess it is only worth if you go there for steamboat (thumbs up when I looked at their food). It costs ~£15 includes steamboat £13 just buffet.

Taste of Persia, Newcastle upon Tyne

2010-07-18T20:48:00.002+01:00

Nice to have this place in my city! There are still many undiscovered (by me =P) gems around the city. This one is obvious and I pass by all the time and now I finally step into here to savour their yums! I felt the food seem similar to the eastern Europe dishes e.g. Turkish, a bit of Greeks and some Middle east.

We didn't order much because I wanna leave some room in my tummy for dessert at other place. By the way, go here during lunch time (12noon - 6pm) for their lunch time special ~£6.50 for 2 courses. We ordered mirza ghasemi (chargilled aubergine and tomato grounded into dip) and nan. You may try the Persian tea too, it tasted minty and has cardamon seed flavour.

We have shishlik (lamb chop marinated and chargrilled) and porlow rice.

Is all the guys from country as such like making up conversation with people? Not that I'm annoyed but just find it really seems to be. I like people like this! But don't come to close coz I'm married =P

Verdict: 7/10 for now since I only tasted two of their yums!
Location: Left side of the Centre for Life main entrance, you will see a row of shop and there is Taste of Persia. Go taste taste lah~

Best Spring Ever in Ireland

2010-06-30T20:52:00.001+01:00

It was my great idea to book this trip so to be with Mei & the saints there and also to have a break from work during my week. We bought the easyjet ticket flying from Newcastle and that time was before the airlines disaster due to the volcanic ash. Mind you a week before we travelled, there was another volcano eruption hence cancelling all the flight to Ireland from Newcastle. But our flights to / back that week after were fine.

I'm so glad to be in Ireland. I miss everyone. What a bless to be in the church life. You should join me in the church life. You get the enjoyment everywhere in the world and where ever you go and live. This time in Ireland we have Sharon & Ray brought us out to tour Belfast city and the Trouble site s / attended the book of Roman's seminar in Belfast and met somelocal Irish friends / babysit little Daniel and ate a feast at his home that filled me outward but also inwardly / experienced Annie's warm hospitality. Then Mei driving with us and Jenny to visit Dublin, Galway and also the Cliff of Moher. In Dublin we have the Lord's table meeting and good fellowship with Pei Pei, Kenneth & Shirley, Alferdo & Catriona at their home. Kenneth even treated us nice Si Chuan cuisine before leaving Dublin. We did the Giant's causeway too. All in all the trip was awsome, please go check out each of the highlights underlined here.

Belfast, The Troubles and Us

2010-06-30T12:55:00.000+01:00

First day we in Belfast and we got Mei to pick us from the airport. Sunny weather here, nice! Everytime we have a sunny day, I felt bless because sunny day is hard to afford in the UK. Sharon & Ray, originally from Phillipines took day off to be with us and show us Belfast. David from Birmingham is here too for the Belfast seminar.

Belfast, the main city in the Northern Ireland and is bigger than Newcastle. It has more taller buildings than most cities in UK. And no chewing gum stain on the floor! Sadly it has The Troubles too. I only know the Troubles was due to the political conflict hence war and fight occurred and still occurring between these two christian groups. The people with Catholic and the Protestant background seldom go along together due to there was a time in society, discrimination was seriously bad against the Catholic ones (usually poorer or lower class citizen and not supporting the Queen). The Protestant ones are the opposite. So you can identify yourself by the hanging flags at that area to tell where you are now in Belfast.

It get so bad till a wall and gates are needed to separate the two areas.

Tourists do come here to take photos and also print their name on the wall.

Here is the loyalist area. Meaning only for the loyal ones here.

Hope this trouble will end soon not just good for the people but also to end the disgrace to God. It is very ungodly for either group to treat their brothers that way when they still say to worship in Christ.

Anyway we also went to Queensland University,

Belfast City Hall (where Titanic, the film have their interior layout especially the grand staircase all copied from this place) and there was also the first ever continental market in Belfast that week and I tried my first Ostrich burger. sosolah~~

Ulster Museum, found inside the botanical garden (the history about The Troubles is here and don't miss the Ice Age exhibition there)

and many shoppings street and malls. The Victoria Albert mall will definately delight or sadden a person I know who also is an architecture from home. He has an idea for a mall as Victoria Albert but got rejected by the engineers due to they think it was impossible to build. The whole building is unique which sorta like indoor shopping but still seem like an outdoor.

There is GBK too and the burger was like 5 stars ***** burger, meaning so so good. Their promotion time is Mon to Fri at 2 - 4pm, £4 instead of the full price (£6 - £8). So I chose the best and popular one.Original price was £8.00 for this bacon, cheese and Angus beef with tomato chutney.

You can also see the whole Belfast city centre when you go up the spiral located centre of the mall.

Ireland Where a Time with The Saints

2010-06-29T22:03:00.004+01:00

... is a blessed time for me. In Belfast it was a good summer time and we were all sitting outside enjoying, talking and ...playing with the babies.

Sis Yang (holding the little Daniel) and Mei in apron have been cooking for us lotsa food...chicken stew with potatoes & carrot, pork fried rice, steam fish with soya sauce, hoi sin duck & wrap, veg Indian curry, M&S lemon meringue and Sharon home made choc cake for little Daniel.

You ask little Daniel "where is Lord Jesus?" he'll go tap tap with his hand to his chest. meaning Lord Jesus is in me. How cute.

This is Annie and her husband both are deaf but you will never imagine how well we each communicated. The hospitality with them was wonderful!

Coincidentally this weekend there is also the 3rd seminar on the book of Roman. And Belfast is chosen for 1 of the 12 cities that holds this seminar. We were in Glasgow for the second one. You should go to one next time if you haven't been to any. I tell you this seminar shows you the revelation of the Bible (this time is from the book of Roman) not from a perspective of man and the holy religious culture that kind but from a perpective of God. I personally have heard enough about Roman but this time I really enjoy the seminar when all the things that reveil is really something I never thought to see it that way...the perspective view from God. Go here for more info.

Then Dublin Here I Come! Knowing that Dublin is a cosmopolitan place like London and most important there is the church there too! We went down in Mei's car very early after a night at Annie's place. Lord bless the church in Dulbin and the propagation there. Here outside the meeting place in Dublin.

in Bro Kenenth & Shirley home during our stay in Dublin. Happy to see saints also from Malaysia.

Do you know meaning of the church, the Body and to you church life is such a life to live? Then it will be meaningful in your Christian living.

1st Time Achievement - Peiking Duck + Wrap

2010-06-22T22:08:00.008+01:00

This is some other things I will do during my weekend if I'm not away for trips and blending meetings. I hope I can be more active in doing the receipes (I have collected so far). And so I can share you the receipe I successfully pull through or unsuccessfully done. No offence to the author, I'm just sharing my experience here. I know I'm bad in following a receipe diligently but just for normal people like me can do very well in that dishes if that receipe is 100% good.

So I did Peiking duck. Why? Because that weekend Tesco duck was on offer £6. As simple as that. The roast duck here in Chinatown usually £7-8 for half and more for a whole one and I want duck =)

Did some googling and Euphocafe seem to have good & successful Peiking duck receipe. Oh by the way I use bicycle pump to blow air into the duck breast instead. I don't have such breathe to blow with a plastic straw.

Good luck to those who are doing Peiking duck at home. It tasted good but now I know I rather buy instead =P. Well one achievement for this girl. Oh must never substitute with honey. Just myself felt it doesn't taste as very authentic if with honey.

I substituted chive for cucumber strip and spring onion because I have none at that time. The wrap was perfect!

The look of my duck that just out from the oven.

我的应许

2010-06-10T22:03:00.001+01:00

符名玮你当记住你主的应许：“你们要先寻求祂的国和祂的义，这一切就都要加给你们了。”（太六33。）我们若寻求神的国和神的义，神必定会照顾我们的生活。不要靠自己出去打鱼。你若想要靠自己谋生，你会经历失败，至终一无所获。要记住约翰二十一章所启示的，主甚至能在没有鱼的岸上，将鱼豫备好。主会将已经烧好的鱼赐给我们。

Building my house

2010-06-09T21:40:00.006+01:00

What would you think of building your own house? Super idea right. I would do it if I have the chance.

Here is a home built by themselves. I'm admiring already.

Newcastle this summer also has the architectural festival.
This one is my favourite - Open House. You get to visit these people's home and most important these houses are eco homes. Cool right. Imagine I can built a water wheel to generate electricity....wah nice.

六個馬利亞

2010-05-12T20:53:00.002+01:00

──從這六位馬利亞身上，我們可以看見一個屬靈成長的過程。 ──

為主勞苦的馬利亞
羅馬書十六章6節，保羅提到一位姊妹馬利亞：「又問馬利亞安；她為你們多受勞苦。」這位馬利亞是一個勞苦的姊妹。
在新約裡有六位馬利亞。第一位是耶穌的母親，一位非常單純的姊妹，是所有「馬利亞」的根基。第二位是拉撒路和馬大的姊妹馬利亞，她是一個在主面前享受主同在的人（路十39），也因著對主的愛，她將自己的香膏枉費在主身上（約十二3）。第三位是革羅罷的妻子馬利亞，主被釘十字架時，她一直站在主的身邊（約十九25）。第四位是抹大拉的馬利亞，她到墳墓那兒去找主，因著她的尋求，就遇見了復活的主（約二十1、14-17）。
使徒行傳十二章還有一位馬利亞，是馬可的母親。當彼得從監裡被放出來時，他決定去她的家，因為「在那裡有好些人聚集禱告」（12節）。這位馬利亞的家是向聖徒打開的，這說出家打開是一個很高的屬靈彰顯。
最後就是羅馬書十六章所提到的馬利亞，保羅說她是為聖徒們多多勞苦的。這六位馬利亞，結束在一個勞苦的姊妹身上。

一個漸進的過程
從這六位馬利亞身上，我們可以看見一個屬靈成長的過程。一開始，你向著主有一顆單純的心；接著，你住在主的面光中，因著愛主而奉獻，願意在祂的身上枉費；第三，你經歷主的死；第四，你有分於主的復活；第五，你的家打開；最後，你成為一個勞苦的人。
在此我們看見一個漸進的過程。任何人要成為一個勞苦的人，都必須經過前面那些階段。你沒有單純的心，你的服事不會有果效；你不愛主、不奉獻自己，你的服事不會有果效；你不經歷十字架，不有分於復活，你的服事不會有果效；你不打開家，總想保有自己的生活，你的服事也不會有果效。我們經過了馬利亞所代表的這些歷程之後，就會像第六個馬利亞一樣，成為一個在教會中為著主的見證而勞苦的人。

一对活在主面前相爱的人

2010-05-08T21:59:00.017+01:00

华语音乐界里有首名歌叫童话。我问- 你会去相信童话里一对恋人的故事吗？

那你现在身边有着那个他或她，而你们彼此有正等着对方的答复吗？
你们要的答复之问题有没有是 --
*老公你老板何时给你起人工？
*老公你何时能找到工作？
*老公我们何时才可以生宝宝来建立我们的爱窝？
*亲爱的你何时来娶我？
*亲爱的你要我等你多久？
*亲爱的我们会结婚吗？

正当你还想着要问的时候, 你还是别去问了. 不是因为傲气或怕吓倒人, 而是你们必须先祷告. 你们两个人必须来在一起祷告.

祷告是与神交通, 而你们在这里的一起祷告更是说出你们两个人想要彼此同心, 想要神处于你们的事务中, 处于你恐惧的疑问里. 想要神来成为你们里面的平息, 维护你们彼此的关系. 这不是该要的吗?

但请听, 你们不要谜信. 不要把神当成佛以为多向神求多向神要你的需要就必蒙垂听. 我们不该这么肤浅, 你要认识这位爱我们之神的旨意和心意.

所以我和老公彼此同意一个时间, 为着是要每天来在一起祷告. 我们就祷告(马太6:33)先寻求神的国和神的义, 祷告弟兄姊妹福音朋友属灵的享受, 召会生活的需要, 福音工作与开展, 更是寻求神如今是那灵来每时每刻来分赐祂神圣的成分到我里面, 使我的急性, 小信, 没安全感, 妒嫉, 恐惧, 虚伪, 要人的赞美...都统统去掉, 为叫我能真喜乐, 得胜, 有神的荣耀, 赞美神, 我们更彼此相爱, 同心. 这不是更该要的吗?

....那就开始建立定时地一起祷告吧.....把神带进你们中间...

哈里路亚! 基督得胜! 我们在祂里面也得胜!

生病了

2010-04-26T19:50:00.007+01:00

就是累坏！病情是在不自觉时被我用毅力压着，然后周六去Glasgow，主日又去了买花园要用的松土料物，晚上有马来西亚之夜，今天还到公司工作，喷嚏喷得不得了，头是晕晕的，受不了要到了就马上回家。大家要注意我就是不知觉中上火了。这是个人网上看到的上火治疗或预疗。本人就是容易上火但脾气不坏，所以会收集上火得预疗和治疗。

几种“去火”食疗法

（作者: 社区网管http://www.sjzdsq.net/html/35/n-4435.html)

一、喝莲子汤去心火表现症状：分虚实两种，虚火表现为低热、盗汗、心烦、
口干等；实火表现为反复口腔溃疡、口干、小便短赤、心烦易怒等。食疗法：
莲子30克(不去莲心)，桅子15克(用纱布包扎)，加冰糖适量，水煎，吃莲子喝汤。
二、吃猪肝可去肺火表现症状：干咳无痰或痰少而粘、潮热盗汗、手足心热、
失眠、舌红。食疗法：猪肝1付，菊花30克(用纱布包好)，共煮至肝熟，吃肝喝汤。
三、喝绿豆粥去胃火表现症状：分虚实两种，虚火表现为轻微咳嗽、饮食量少、
便秘、腹胀、舌红、少苔；实火表现为上腹不适、口干口苦、大便干硬。食疗法：
石膏粉30克，粳米、绿豆各适量，先用水煎煮石膏，然后过滤去渣，取其清液，
再加入粳米、绿豆煮粥食之。四、喝梨水去肝火表现症状：头痛、头晕、耳鸣、
眼干、口苦口臭、两肋胀痛。食疗法：川贝母10克捣碎成末，梨2个，削皮切块，
加冰糖适量，清水适量炖服。五、吃猪腰去肾火表现症状：头晕目眩、耳鸣耳聋、
腰脊酸软、潮热盗汗、五心烦躁。食疗法：猪腰2只，枸杞子、山萸肉各15克，
共放入砂锅内煮至猪腰子熟，吃猪腰子喝汤。

建议多吃水果蔬菜,另外服用清胃丸治疗,肝脏是消化系统里的解毒过滤器官，所有外来物的
毒素，及由下腹腔回流到心脏的血液，都先经它处理。若平日所吃的食物，都是要肝脏「加班」
处理的「毒素」，包括油炸、腌制、辛辣、肥腻、加工的食物，以及经化学农药或经添加剂处理的
材料(包括：白糖、餐桌盐、高温处理的食油)，甚至化学合成的药物等，会令肝脏工作过劳。
吃水果也要引起注意，有的水果属于热性水果，比如荔枝、橘子、菠萝、桂圆、石榴等。食品中的
姜、蒜、辣椒、酒、辣椒、胡椒、花椒、熏蒸食品，四川的麻辣烫等都是容易上火的。对策:除应
戒烟限酒、忌食甘肥辛辣的食品外，要多吃甘甜爽口的“清火”具有疏肝理气作用的食物，“苦”
味食品是“火”的天敌。苦味食物之所以苦是因为其中含有生物碱、尿素类等苦味物质，中医研究
发现，这些苦味物质有解热祛暑、消除疲劳的作用。最佳的苦味食物首推苦瓜。如苦瓜、芹菜、
绿豆、绿豆芽、黄豆芽、蓬蒿、西红柿、萝卜、甘蓝菜、白菜、包心菜、金针菜、油菜、丝瓜、李子、
梅、山楂、橙子、柚子、柑橘、香橼、佛手、黄瓜、杏仁、苦丁茶、绿茶都有良好的清火作用，
而胡萝卜对补充人体的维生素B、避免口唇干裂也有很好的疗效。此外，可以口服各类清凉
冲剂，如夏桑菊冲剂、金菊冲剂等对“清火”也很有效。多喝水少喝酸甜饮料，少吃辛辣煎炸食品，
少抽烟喝酒。西瓜、山楂、苹果、葡萄等富含矿物质，特别是钙、镁、硅的含量高，有宁神、降火的
神奇功效。草莓有药用价值。中医认为它有“去火”功效，能清暑、解热、除烦。西瓜性凉，吃了不
会引起“上

Because You Haven't yet Enjoying the Lord Much

2010-04-22T19:00:00.002+01:00

"You seem content". I ask myself, do I? Lately I felt strees, uncertain, tire, easily worried and always have negative thoughts. My heart has not resting and no peace. The conversation we had before from the home meeting appears again - "Because you have not yet enjoy the Lord much."I turned and said "yes" then immediately I ask Oh Lord! fill me now. I wanna be fill with the Triune God. Fill me now, fill me. Take away the negative elements. I'm now ascended to the heaven, nothing bad can now touch me. I want to sing and praise. Can't wait to play my guitar =) I call "Oh Lord Jesus"~~~~~

Old Orlean Bar & Restaurant, Surrey Quay, London

2010-03-24T20:08:00.006Z

This place is near to where I stayed in London. There is cinema and bowling centre here too. We initially gonna go to this place for the Vietnamese place but realised it was still closed for xmas holiday.
Felt very upsetting and hungry and so we ended up in here. Well not a bad place to be either although it's not food I have planned to eat that night. This place serves food for people in Old Orlean. Is there really a place call Old Orlean? Because I just know there's New Orlean in USA and is populated with African American.
This place is very vibrant and jazz is the kind of music there. Maybe google it next time.
So here is my potato skin with sour cream. Quite nice but I prefer the shaved version rather than the scooped-out and left over skin.

Corn bread with lamb stew in chorizo, carrot, potato and tomatoes.

Mei's salad with cheddar cheese, anchoive, croutons & banana and toffee milk shake. I tasted it and will definately come back for this.

Oneil Irish Pub and Bar, Newcastle upon Tyne

2010-03-23T20:00:00.000Z

When you're hungry and want some nice pub food but not too expensive, you have come to the right place if it is the Oneil Irish Pub and Bar.

They serves the Irish mash potato, calcannon. It was a special than normal mash as it was mixed with shreadded cabbage leaf. The texture was smooth and thick. Totally fall for it.

Then there is the Irish sausage which the taste was normal for me. I still miss the best ever sausage - Cumberland sausage which hubby bought from COOP supermarket. Hardly see them now. =(

Hubby order the seafood calcannon pot. Yum!

The lamb stew in Irish bread was normal plus maybe it's me because for the lamb I like it has to be cooked like the Indian kinda lamb curry way.

The food is really nice however they only have one chef. This annoyed me the most because when we came here they told us the chef won't take any more order until 3pm. Wah, like that also can do business one....!!!

You may also order burger and chips which the usual thing on British pub food menu. So when I'm back again I'll order seafood calcannon pot.

Verdict: Food - 8/10, Price 8/10
Location: Opposite Newcastle Central Station

Knowing the Lord’s Recovery

2010-03-09T21:39:00.003Z

Thank you Lord you have recovered many truth in the Bible. Since brother like Martin Luther until today, we now have the opened up truth in the Bible. Lord, give me the seeking heart to know your word and know it right so your heart desire is reviewed to me.

If you read the Bible, you should also understand the church history and also Lord's recovery. Don't be ignorant, seek the right truth for yourself if you care about God and His heart desire. Yes I know many times we like to seek God for our own benefits, but what about His heart desire? Here are some points gathered from the brothers' sharing about Lord's recovery. Our Lord is recovering the truth which truth has misunderstood or mislead. Ask yourself will Lord let the evil one to take His word to mislead His children from His heart desire? No. So He is here recovering. He is merciful to me because I know the truth today. I hope many of my Christian friends will too.

Below are reminder for myself. You welcome to know too.

1. Being Up-to-Date in Knowing the Lord’s Recovery
2. The Four Great Pillars in the Lord's Recovery—(1) The First Great Pillar—the Truth
3. The Three Aspects of the Lord's Recovery—(1) The Divine Revelation in the Bible
4. The Three Aspects of the Lord's Recovery—(2) The God-man Life
5. The Three Aspects of the Lord's Recovery—(3) The Practice of the Church
6. The Vision and Practice of the Genuine One Accord

We concluded the conference with the following proposal:
I. Take the way of the Lord's recovery:
A. Be converted into little children—forget all the problems and offenses and remain open to learn
B. Enter into the truth in a definite way
C. Experience Christ as life in their daily living
D. Pray:
1. Confessing their sins and weaknesses to have a good conscience
2. Praying for all the saints who are still being misled and have stopped meeting (We estimated that there are as many as 400 who have discontinued the meeting life.)
E. Love the saints who are meeting and have not been meeting by sharing with them our enjoyment—do not criticize or strive with them
F. Use the Recovery Version to teach the truth and preach the gospel in their neighborhoods, work places, schools, and to their relatives and friends

II. If they practice these things, then they can expect the following to happen:
A. The number among them will increase
B. Some of the misled saints will return to the Lord's recovery (There are 250 still meeting there.)
C. Some of the saints who have stopped meeting will resume (There are approximately 400 who have stopped meeting in the past several years.)
D. It may take five to ten years for the situation to normalize; therefore, be patient with the others yet go on in a positive way.

We recommended that they read these books and study the Recovery Version diligently:
1. The Vision of the Age
2. The Economy of God
3. The All-inclusive Christ
4. God's New Testament Economy
5. Fellowship Concerning the Urgent Need of the Vital Groups
6. The Training and Practice of the Vital Groups
7. The Vital Groups

Plus no real definate shortcomings anyway. Still liveable.

From now on redeem time to eat/drink/be consititued by Him. And let Him drift me onwards.

Remove my covering, Lord,
That I may see Thy light,
And be deceived no more,
But all things see aright.

Oh, may Thy living light, Lord,
Scatter all my night, Lord,
And everything make bright, Lord,
For this I pray to Thee.

I hardly know myself;
Deceived so much by pride,
I often think I'm right
And am self-satisfied.
I know Thee even less;
In doctrine, shallowly;
True revelation lack
Of Thy reality.
As for Thy life within,
In darkness I mistake—
If spirit or the flesh,
One for the other take.
As for Thy way, O Lord,
I often am not clear;
I toward seclusion tend
And from the pathway veer.
As for Thy will for me,
I do not know it well;
I substitute my own
And often would rebel.
As for the church, I need
Thy revelation more,
The Body-life to know,
Thy wisdom to explore.
I long to be unveiled,
In everything made clear,
No more to be deceived
Or to my pride adhere.

374# Unto Him that hath Thou givest

Unto him that hath Thou givest
Ever more abundantly;
Lord, I live because Thou livest,
Therefore give more life to me,
Therefore speed me in the race,
Therefore let me grow in grace.
Deepen all Thy work, O Master,
Strengthen every downward root;
Only do Thou ripen faster,
More and more Thy pleasant fruit;
Purge me, prune me, self abase;
Only let me grow in grace.
Let me grow by sun and shower,
Every moment water me;
Make me really, hour by hour,
More and more conformed to Thee,
That Thy loving eye may trace
Day by day my growth in grace.
From Thy fulness grace outpouring,
Show me ever greater things;
Raise me higher, sunward soaring,
Mounting as on eagle-wings.
By the brightness of Thy face,
Ever let me grow in grace.
Let me, then, be always growing,
Never, never standing still,
Listening, learning, better knowing
Thee and Thy most blessed will.
Till I win the glorious race,
Daily let me grow in grace.

I am not a so-called

2009-11-19T11:39:00.002Z

Again I am being reminded and how true the Truth is. Thanks!

This word has blown me off
To be a normal Christian, to be today’s overcomers, to answer the Lord’s present calling, and to meet the Lord’s present need in His recovery, it is altogether not sufficient simply to be a so-called good brother or good sister, attending the church meetings regularly, behaving rightly, and living a life which is somewhat perfect in the eyes of men.

Then I questioned so what do we have to be?
We need to be one with God in His history, moving, and energizing in His loving overcomers; that is, we need to be one with God in life, in living, and in our entire doing today on this earth! We need to write God’s today’s history! We need to march on as one with the energizing God! In Him! With Him! By Him! And for Him! We need to be vital, living, and active! We need to be today’s Joshuas and Calebs to take possession of the God-promised land for Christ that we may become His possession. We need to be today’s Ruths to turn to God’s economy, to enter into the land of Immanuel, and to marry ourselves to Christ that we may bring forth Christ to meet the need of men today. This should be the intrinsic life-study of these three books—Joshua, Judges, and Ruth. The issue of this life-study should be the gaining of the God-promised land for Christ and the bringing forth of the excellent Christ to meet today’s need of both God and men.

Yet still replacing Himself back much much more........

2009-10-20T20:39:00.007+01:00

He tends to take all things that I have but He actually replaces it with Himself much more.. Though everything is sure to pass away and everyone is going their own way, I should not be afraid because I have the LORD..

1. Loving You, Lord's all I'm living for;
Loving You, Lord, to the uttermost.
Lord, forgive me if I've left my first love,
That's the bridal love to You.
You are more than anyone I love.
You are more than anything I have,
Even my dear self; nothing can compare
To my beloved Bridegroom.

chours: I give You the first place in all things by faith. Let nothing take Your place in all my heart. Infuse me with Yourself abundantly 'Til we meet, dear Lord. I'll love You with the best love.

2. You've the right to take all that I love,
But replace it with Yourself much more.
You are what I need, give Yourself to me,
Do not give all that I want.
Everything is sure to pass away,
Everyone is going their own way.
But I still have You and You have me too,
Loving one another's sweet.

3. I treasure my time alone with You,
Just to gain the best love You long for.
My dearest Husband, draw me with Yourself
Into Your chambers right now.
Be the first in all my work and life,
Be the first in all my service too.
In relationships, You must be the first;
Have preeminence in me.

My real and living one.....

2009-10-09T19:12:00.018+01:00

is Him, sweet and cherishable. Ask me why? *shy+grin* ^_^ I have seen His heart and desire and love for me, correctly is for us. Thank you for the Recovery Version Bible to make me see clearer of His heart & desire and the goal in the Bible.

Just like this hymn sings -

The goal of the gospel is that, loving the Lord Jesus with the first love,
^--do you wonder why?^
we would pour out upon Him, pour out upon Him what is most precious to us, even our most costly and valuable spiritual treasure,
"wasting" ourselves upon Him.
Even our most costly and valuable spiritual treasure,
"wasting" ourselves upon Him.

This is the Gospel - the Saviour loving us so much that He gives Himself up for us, and the goal is that we love Him so much that we give ourselves to Him and "waste" ourselves upon Him(Matt 26:8). I cry because I do have something I'm unwilling to waste upon Him.

To be honest I wouldn't take Him in if I only know Him like what the general public knows about Him. I wouldn't want a God that will make me become a religious person, terrifying of punishment if I didn't pray, serve and give offering every often. Ya I will thank Him for the salvation since I understand we were sinner, but that will not make me love Him but just appreciating only. I don't want just that. Maybe God hear that. So I would say it is Him who has attracted me. The more I see His heart and desire which has reveiled in the Bible and that is the more that makes me love Him. If you also want to know about what is His heart and desire, just pray to Him, tell Him you want to seek Him.

I now always, everday, every moment declaring 'Oh Lord I love you, make yourself at home in me, where I abide in you and you abide in me', I like this experience. I treasure Him. I want Him to come back quickly. I want this age to end soon and I want His kingdom come quick.

Lemon cream with berry compote

2009-10-07T21:09:00.011+01:00

YUM!!! Sourness from the cream and sweetness from the berry. It is a wonderful combinations once it moves to back of your throat. It is so easy to make. Just simmer the cream in a pan, add in lemon juice (without the sacs), simmer again then pour into a mold (any bowl, glass will do). The magic is the lemon juice because it curds the cream so you get creamy/yellow/smooth/cheesecakey texture. It was a success for me for the first time but fail at the second because I didn't add enough lemon juice in. Well I'm just not into following any food recipe precisely. Anyway here you go.

The Four Crucial Subjects In The Divine Revelation – Divine Economy, Divine Dispensing, Organic Union and Expression of God. [PART 2]

2009-03-20T22:37:00.004Z

I want to say this out loudly - The leaders in Christianity today need at least a slap in face so to be awakened to realize God’s economy. God does not want a religion and a religious people. Read the post if you are interested to know why.

Must Go here for PART 1 before reading this part.

God's dispensation which is through the revelation concerning the Triune God in the holy Word is not for doctrinal understanding but for His redeemed people to experience and enjoy Him. Yes, we can enjoy God.

The relationship which God desires is to have man and Him be grafted together and thus become one in an organic union. Never heard of this?? Go read Roman 6:3-5 and 1 Cor. 6:17. He created man for the purpose of entering into man to be one with man and to make man one with Him (Gen. 1:26; 2:7). Grafting is a good illustration for this matter. In grafting, two similar lives are joined and then both grow together organically. How is it possible?? This is because our human life was made in the image of God and according to the likeness of God, it can be joined to the divine life (Gen 1:26). And then in another hand Christ has to pass through the processes of incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection in order for us to be grafted into Him. (John 1:14, 1 Cor. 15:14b, 2 Cor. 3:17a. In the grafted life, the human life is not eliminated but is strengthened, uplifted and enriched by the divine life.

Therefore we need to believe into Christ which is also receiving Him as the divine life into us that we may have an organic union with Him in the divine life. (John 3:15, 15:4-5)

Through this union there will be God’s expression. God’s original intention is that man would receive His divine life and divine nature and thereby become God’s expression. (Gen. 1:26, 2:7-9). How do you tell?? Well easy. You see God created man in His image, and Christ is the image of the invisible God; therefore, man was created in the image of Christ. Hello…this is very obvious…for the expression. Furthermore God does not want just one expression, and that is why the matter of the church is brought in. The basic function of the church is to be the corporate expression of the Triune God in Christ. Church is the called out congregation who are being called out from the world by God. Here you also see a oneness which is the Body of Christ.

In this aspect of oneness, everyone’s self have been fully denied and is enjoying the glory of the Father as the factor of their perfected oneness and thus express God in a corporate, built-up way. Eventually, we will be brought into the divine glory, be glorified with Christ and bear the glory of God for God’s expression in the New Jerusalem.

I thank God that I can be shown to know God’s economy and I thank that I know how to live my everyday life in this world. I can live in this world for another purpose which has the eternal glory – New Jerusalem.

Noisy Toys (Newcastle Science Festival Part 1)

2009-03-16T20:06:00.004Z

I can a bit geeky when it comes to science. This year science festival in Newcastle has been very interesting. There were a whole colourful and exciting science events and programmes scheduled throughout Newcastle which cater for the kids and also adults.

Today we went to see the Noisy Toys in Discovery Museum. Noisy toys??? Yup! That was my first impression when I read the brochure. =) But it was really cool. I feel there is a chance for me to DJ-ing some hot and funky music if given more time and chance to play with these toys. Who knows, I might produce cool track like those kind you get in Madonna’s songs from the latest few albums – a bit techno and electric. But seriously this is what they are now using to make their music stand out from other artists.

The noisy toys are special because they are sensitive to either by touch or light. They produce pitch at high and low by touching different parts of the instrument or using your hand to shade the light sensor. Kids love it. There was also this voice transducer that can change your voice to a very deep manly voice and another to change to a very funny voice like the one you get after swallowing some helium gas from the helium balloon.

Go Green, Growing Green Green

2009-03-14T21:51:00.003Z

WOW. How exciting! I’m growing something. It is my favourite herbs – coriander and basil, oregano (not sure about this but just grow it).

I bought this pot which come along with compose and seeds from Wilkinson half price £2, isn't it a bargain huh?!? If you look at the pot you notice it has 4 smalls opening at the side and one big one in the middle. I grow two of the sides with basil and another 2 with oregano then the middle with coriander. The pot is also kept in a transparent bag to act as a green house for it. =)

What do you think about vintage wear?

2009-03-14T21:16:00.003Z

I quite like it but you have to be good in mix and matching them so it will turn out Pretty and Punk. I was there with Margaret and we had a wonderful time. I found a vintage BURBERRY trench coat for sale at £35. Yes BURBERRY. It would have been like £1000-ish pounds else where. But I didn’t get it. Why? Nah…Just I’m not going to spend that much on clothing now.

The Vintage Fair has been in Newcastle on the 1st Mar this year. It takes its turn to hold around cities in England like Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, etc. Google it if you want to know is this fair coming to your place.

The stuffs in the fair were pretty interesting. Ranging from jewelleries to shoes, handbags to scarf, belts to hats…so the list go on and on. I noticed some people who were coming to this fair do match vintage stuffs quite nicely.

My conclusion for vintage clothing is that it is really something like your mum or granny has been wearing in the 60s or 70s time. It has a touch to that kind of nostalgic feel and it will turn out really good looking when you successfully match it with something else that does match.

A Brief Explaination

Throughout the centuries, translations of the Bible have steadily improved. In general, each new translation inherits from previous ones and opens the way for later ones.While a new translation derives help from its predecessors, it should go further. The Recovery Version of the Holy Bible, following the precedent set by the major authoritative English versions and taking these versions as reference, not only incorporates lessons learned from an examination of others’ practices but also attempts to avoid biases and inaccurate judgments. This version, frequently guided by other versions, attempts to provide the best utterance for the revelation in the divine Word, that it may be expressed in the English language with the greatest accuracy.

Translating the Bible depends not only on an adequate comprehension of the original language but also on a proper understanding of the divine revelation in the holy Word. Throughout the centuries the understanding of the divine revelation possessed by the saints has always been based upon the light they received, and this understanding has progressed steadily. The consummation of this understanding forms the basis of this translation and its footnotes. Hence, this translation and the accompanying footnotes could be called the “crystallization” of the understanding of the divine revelation which the saints everywhere have attained to in the past two thousand years. It is our hope that the Recovery Version will carry on the heritage that it has received and will pave the way for future generations.

As with any translation of the Bible, the determination of the original text, based upon the available manuscripts, forms the basis for the text of the Recovery Version of the Holy Bible. The translation of the Old Testament is based on the current scholarly text of the Hebrew Scriptures, Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS; revised 1990 edition). The New Testament follows, for the most part, the Nestle-Aland Greek text as found in Novum Testamentum Graece (26th edition). However, in determining the original form of any verse, the translators of the Recovery Version gave careful consideration to the larger context of chapter and book and to similar portions of the Old and New Testaments. The most recently discovered manuscripts or the manuscripts of oldest date are not necessarily the most accurate or reliable; hence, the determination of the text for this version was based largely upon the principle stated above. Departures from these editions are generally indicated in the footnotes.

The Recovery Version embodies extensive research into the meaning of the original text and attempts to express this meaning with English that is to the point, easy to understand, and readable. In those places where it is difficult to express the exact meaning of the original Hebrew and Greek, explanatory footnotes have been supplied.

The subject provided at the beginning of each book and the outline of each book take the historical facts as their base and express the spiritual meaning in each book. The footnotes stress the revelation of the truth, the spiritual light, and the supply of life more than history, geography, and persons. The cross references lead not only to other verses with the same expressions and facts but also to other matters related to the spiritual revelation in the divine Word.

Everyone's heart sank including mine

2009-03-09T22:04:00.004Z

At then, it was silence. Everyone's heart sank including mine.

I called Oo~~h Lo~~rd Je~sus. So did the news borther me? Yes it did but not in a lightning strucked way.

Then towards the end of the meeting, I got a revelation from yesterday's message. Brother was saying that in today's living many people has lost their purpose of living or has confused about their purpose of living. Therefore "working hard to make money to support the neccessities" has become their purpose of living. This is so horrifying. Imagine your existence is just to work hard to make money to pay your mortgage, your kids tutition fees, your fashion thrist, your food appetite, your travel lust ….. Well people may argue there are also other things like family and friends. But I would still say in the end for them is still work hard to make money for their neccessities.

OMG. I don't want this and this cannot, let me stress CANNOT be my purpose of living. There has to be something greater than this. Of course I still need money to pay rent, bills and food, and of course I need money for my family and have great time with friends. But I'm not making myself a slave to this - having have to appeal when pay rise is not treated properly, worrying what is the bank account saving interest rates now, how much pay rise do I get, how can I find better car insurance, where to compare for better bargains, how much can I spend on cloth, on food, etc…. NOOOOOO…Don't get me wrong, I work hard in my job because I respect the allocated authority by God on earth which is my boss and also I am a responsible/concern person to my job.

I really appreciate that I have this reliazation through brother's fellowship. Our existence is for God's economy. He created us not so we can live and work for ourself to have a better living standard. Gosh I'm so please to know this. That releases my stress. You maybe say I'm weak, but I'm not. My stress is released because I come to realize my existance is much better than anyone else - which I am for God's economy and for His kingdom.

Then you may ask me again, do you think it is possible to over come your need for money? I honestly say no. But when I abide in Christ, I have the abundant grace from Him. Therefore I can use my money and manage my money in a sanctifying way - which is be grateful/happy to what I receive and willing to give back to Him for the church life and be contend with what He gives me for my living, either rich or poor, I amen because it is sanctified and it is for God's economy. I ask God to strengthen my faith and be my strength and let me still rejoice and enjoy Him to fullness even if I have to starve.

This is not self comforting. This is my realization to today's living. I will abide to Him even stronger. Praise the Lord! even though there is no pay rise for us all. May you still bless the company and staffs there. Your abundant grace is enough for me. I live for you.

The Four Crucial Subjects In The Divine Revelation – Divine Economy, Divine Dispensing, Organic Union and Expression of God. [PART 1]

2009-02-28T00:21:00.010Z

I am very blessed that I can learn this after attending the conference. This matter is no way to be found in any of the denomination group and needless to say to be found in the Roman Catholic and the world or wikipedia. Why such important matter in the Bible yet not familiarly known by them? Proundness. Maybe we really need to humble ourselves when it comes to the Bible and really keen to get the revelation or light in the divine Word to open up to us.

Allow me to stress that the Bible and the divine Word IS for all human kind. My dear friend if you are not yet a believer in Christ or you worship other gods, now I urge you to seek and learn the Truth for yourself as I do not want you to be ignorant or being stranded away by the enemy and couldn’t come forth to the Truth.

Don’t listen to those people who say only the weak ones will need a God or something like a religion to depend on. NO NO. That is a shallow thinking. This thought is from the enemy. We against it. Plus me having a strong personality would not accept such reason to believe God. Then what make me turn? Find yourself in this post then. Now I have Him and I would declare I love Him everyday and would not a second want to be independant from Him. And if you choose to worship other gods, think twice again about that god you worship from these perspectives:
(1) God’s divine economy,
(2) His divine dispensing,
(3) His organic union with man,
(4) man’s expression of God.

There is only one and real God in this universal. Don’t listen to the theory of man evolutes from monkey. That is another thought came from the enemy who wants to impose it into man so man is driven further from God.

God has a will. Revelation 4:11 says …for You (God) have created all things, and because of Your (God’s) will they (human) were, and were created. God plans so He can achieve His will. This plan is refer as the God’s Economy. The Bible presents a full picture if the divine economy from the creation of the universe to the consummation of the New Jerusalem (Rev 21:1-2).

If you study the bible and want to understand it, here is a big hint for you. The eternal economy of God is the central line of the entire Scripture, therefore the interpretation of the Scripture should strictly governed by this central line under adequate spiritual enlightment (Luke 24:27, 32, 47). So, God’s economy is centred on God’s unique work which He wants to work Himself in Christ and into His chosen people by making Himself one with them (Eph. 3:16-21) and us have Him as our life and our being (Gal 1:15-16, 4:19).

So what do know about God’s economy now?
Answer – God’s economy is to gain a group of people that He may dispense Himself into them to be their life and everything so that they may be joined to Him as one, be filled and occupied with Him, and be one entity with Him on the earth to be the Body of Christ, the church which is for His expression (Eph 1:3-23).

For believers of Christ, we should have a clear vision of God’s economy, and to be governed, controlled and directed by this divine vision and to be strong and unshakable in this heavenly vision. (Prov 29:18a, Acts 26:19).

For unbelievers, I don’t want to scare you rather more to see you being ignorant. But this is God’s economy and it is related to all every perople on earth. But then again it is your choice and forgive me as I must post this out so I don’t owe my gospel debt to you.

Below are photos taken during the conference in Birmingham. Churches from all UK came and there were almost 200-ish people. There is a sense of godliness in everyone and they were all very happy and lively. I'm so touched to see this and I believe this is what God after all these centuries - the church is expressing the glory of God.

Praise the Lord for the meeting hall here provided by God through the church in Birmingham. It has been a consistent prayer from all churches from all localities for this facilities. Oh Lord...this is so glorious.

My Date On My First Wedding Anniversary.......not

2009-02-27T23:37:00.008Z

Again I'm back posting my blog. This should be a no-no but I don't care. *LOL*

17 Feb 2008, this time last year we were very busy. The date was even crafted underneath my ring, what was so special neh? My wedding!! Ehem…to be precised the wedding is actually 16 Feb 08 which was when we in the registration and signed the certificate together. One year has gone by. Happy anniversary my dearest 老公. Thank you for loving me and being with me, I love you.

The first year of the marriage is known as paper. Couple should be celebrating or at least do something together at this date. With hubby not being around but hubby has promised me that we will postpone this date to 17 May this year. So me no fuss about it then. I wish the happiness last between me and hubby so as my dear friends too. There are those who just started a relationship and those who are getting to tie the knot.

But still I need to spend this day, therefore I ended up being in my friend's gig. Here I present you the, Ehem, *clearing throat and in the queen tone*

---------Cut Glass Accent-------------

The second singer and guitarist here is my friend. Then you have Chris the lead singer and guitarist, Stuart the bass guitarist and Ian the drummer. They are an unsigned band, maybe you can sign them up *wink*. They write and create their own music. Oo oh..They also have albums out too. Very pro right? =) Visit here to hear them sing online http://www.myspace.com/cutglassaccent

That night Gareth and I went to see James play at the Cooperage. Oo oh.. The Cut Glass Accent going to play in the Carling Academy this April and they will be the guest for this famous band, 100 Reasons who is recently a big hit on the chart now.

Till here now. The CUT GLASS ACCENT.

I Feel I Am Blessed When …..

2009-02-20T18:46:00.008Z

I like reading people's blog. I read stranger's and I read friends'. I sometime comment I sometime don't. But my feeling connect to their post almost everytime I read. I feel happy when the post is a happy post, I feel sad when the post is sad. But often I see there is a certain degree of hollowness in many many posts which this eventually reflect to the author of the post.

Man must have been created as an empty vessel. This vessel has to be filled with the right thing. If fill it with something wrong, the vessel will still feel hollow until the right thing has been filled in it. I feel I am blessed because I know what can fill me and I don't feel hollow after being filled. The answer is not my job, my profession, my glory, my money, my lover, my family. I think by now you will have guessed what is my answer. Having Him not only just filling me but actually has enliven me up especially when I'm in the fellowship with Him and the Body (i.e. the church). If you really have work hard and want to fill your hollowness maybe you should consider Him. Maybe it is a chance for you and Him. What you say?

Anyway… in Newcastle we have blending and love feast dinner the other night. Yeah….Finally we got Jack back. Jack!!! We really miss you. How can you missing in action from us?!?!?! However it was a great dinner and night. Jack made his famous Chinese dumpling. Yum Yum. I have always been particular about preparing mince meat mixture. I have high expectation on anything that will contain mince meat e.g. Chinese dumpling, wonton and meatball. I have actually been learning from recipes and people especially in this aspect. That night I learnt from Jack that UK mince pork has less fat in it. So we should add some oil when preparing the mince mixture. It is better to add heated chilli pepper oil (i.e. you heat your normal oil and add the chilli pepper in to brown, then use this oil for you mince mixture). The mince was VERY good. The love feast was a potluck dinner. Everyone bring a dish. That night we have Vincent’s Malaysia chicken curry, Mei’s Chinese herbal soup, Mieng Mieng’s roast chicken, Brother Yu and Sister Yu’s full set of luxury China FooChow cuisine. We have so much food. I’m glad to see everyone was there and happy.

May Lord keep this oneness and strengthen His testimony in Newcastle. The church in Newcastle is His testimony. The church is the people, called out from the evil, crooked, perverse and condemned generation. By only taking Christ as the centrality hence that we can keep the oneness. Not the different doctrines, different teachings, different practicing but only Christ.

What Would You Do When Snow Storm Hits?

2009-02-15T21:21:00.006Z

I’m sure the weather news in England has already been broadcasted to the whole world. I’m very sorry for those fellas in Australia as their weather now is so scorching hot and for us the last two weeks were totally under the snow. Funnily the south has worst snow than us in the north. Google London snow storm and you will get what I mean. They have not have such a snow for eighteen years. I think they were actually quite excited about the snow. Maybe sorry for those families who cannot afford the high heating bill. But anyway..the British weather is like that – Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. Took a picture of myself. That morning weather still fine, no snow but cold.Then I got lucky that day because I happen to carry my camera with me when it snowed badly. This was when we were going home after 5pm. It was actually quite fun and funny. View of my work site. Miserable huh? However I like working here. Lots of motivation and incentive.
Walking towards the car park. Pavement was all covered with snow. If you miss a step and there you go ..."piak" on the ground. *LOL* These are my dearest collegs car sharing with me.

Britain has small car everywhere. I used to complain about it also because I basically grow up in a town which full of 4X4 and dad drives a 4X4 Trooper and James drives a 4X4 Hilux. However I'm now already used to it. I still like man drives 4X4, but then I admit 4X4 is unethically eco-friendly. One thing for sure is that smaller car will take lesser time to clear out the snow before driving.

View of the next day after last night. Slipperryyy...

Back to the Old British Past Times

2009-02-13T21:41:00.023Z

**First of all, my bad. Please accept my apologies for not updating for such a long time. I’m learning to post regularly. Please continue to use the comment and chatter box feature to leave any message. Now, let us talk about museum….

It was a hot British summer and we four young girls decided to pay this place a visit. The Beamish Museum has always been a well known place for people in the North East. It features the live in 1800 to 1900. For me this is a very special museum because everything in there is alive. Yes…ALIVE....just like the movie – Night At the Museum starred by the main actors Ben Stiller, Robin Williams and Owen Wilson. Ooooh..how creepy is that. *LOL* Precisely, it is actually very interesting. This is a living museum. I love this place. If I have known earlier I would have brought along my picnic basket and making sure it is packed with the best British picnic food like luxury potted shrimp/lobster as spread on crackers, parsnip crisps with black pepper, rich smoked cheese, heavenly filled Cornish pasty, strawberries and clotted cream, nice bottle of wine or cider, and the list goes on and on….I love picnic very much and I think I inherited that especially from my dad.

So....Every museum has an entrance so as this one. I don’t think anyone will miss it. The museum is located on several hills and valleys.

And of course you may choose to walk or get the tram or the bus. Remember we are now back to the olden days in Britain. So the locomotives should be consistent to that time's trend.

First is the farm. Actually there was the 1800 period, but I'm gonna skipped that for you. *Cheeky grin*

That closet below is the toilet. No wonder WC means wash closet. *LOL* Look closer and you will notice there is a bench with two holes on top. I think you will figure out what to do next.

The oven actually has real fire and the picture on its right is them smoking the meat to make smoked bacon. This is found in the room on the second floor directly above the oven.
Now we are in the 1900. Here is the town. There are shops, banks, dental surgery, court room, sweet shop, sundry shop and the printing shop.
This man was playing music out from his old wooden box. He was whinning it like you would normally do with your music box.
The above was a demostration of making honey comb sweet. It was a combination of syrup, sugar and somemore sweethening or hardening materials. When the yellow thing has harden and cool down, they will dismantle it into bite size pieces. Everyone there get to sample a piece so did I. =P
Here is the school and the school yard.This piece of board is where student uses a metal nail to scratch on it to write their answer.
Horse carridges. There are the high class and the lower class one.

We are now in the middle class home. Below is something their servant will bring to them every morning to wash their face.

The army camp. There was live gun fire exhibition.

The print shop. This reminded me about the Britsh evolution period which some history I learnt while in school.

Then we continue to the mine. It was actually a real coal mine. Inside was dark and cold.

It was an enjoyable and quite educational trip for us. I will go there again when we get the hot British weather back. Gladly the snow has not hit us in the North too badly. I shall blog about that on the next post.

It Has Been Way Long Ago

2008-11-25T21:01:00.010Z

My education will not be complete if without this post. There you go guys, my higher education graduation June 2007. Me in my gown standing next to a pile of books made from rocks.Just that moment for every student. However do you notice I was without my square hat? This is because the hat is only for photographing and not to be partaken during the ceremony. Also check out those sitting professors, no hat.

The typical hat throwing in air session with my fellows course mates. L-R: Bah, Anushen, Ian, Caroline, Me, YiLin, Jaz.

Nah! Show you a picture of my back. You see wearing a gown is really hard to maintain it from not falling over. I think the people who had a hard time on me were my sister and my mum. Thank you guys for watching over my neat appearance of the day.

This is one of our favourite leacture, Rinke. My first impression for his name was it sounded like a name also for a kinda whale. However Rinke has taught us how to use biotechnology to modify a plant. I did a project on using this plant biotechnology technique to grow a natural glowing tree. This will be achieved by incorporating the glowing gene of the fire fly into the plant nucleus. I'm not bullshitting. There are really papers on this topic. Who know one day your garden maybe ended up with a natural glowing Xmas tree. *LOL*

Finally here are everyone who was there during the graduation. Thank you for your greetings. You guys too hope you will be successful in your life and live your dream. L-R: Mom, Dad, sis, sis'bf KiKi, Me, Mei, Tim, Cal, and Ronald (the one who was holding the camera). This picture was taken at Newcastle one of the best nominated scenery sight, Grey Street.

The Best Fish Burger

2008-11-24T21:27:00.013Z

Let us go back to my Istanbul trip. I have not finished about it yet. I'm pretty sure we were around the spice bazaar that day. It was a one fine day and we decided to really walk around and we came to this place. The mosque behind if not mistaken is the Topkapi Palace, where the past sultans have lived. It does look a bit like the Blue Mosque though. See the fish boats in the picture? Look closer...It is there where I wanna bring you.

Tadah!!! The boats were very artisticly decorated and it does look like something you will see during a "flower car" parade. Remember this is not any other boat. It has fake GOLD and it is......
*LOL* a fishing boat. Erm..precisely.. it is people who are selling fish on board. They will de-head, fillet and chargrill the mackeral fish, and you will queue at the jeti waiting to buy. This is the fresh and cannot be any fresher, nice and cannot be any nicer fish burger I have ever have.

Funnily this place is a partially self service environment. We will find a place to sit, however if you are not use to the crowds and eating by the waterfront, my best advice is that you leave. You will be sitting like on a mini stool next to a mini table and lots of fish bones scattered on the floor.

Why I am saying that this is a partially self service environment because you have to queue to buy your own fish burger and they bring you your drinks. So half-half self service! Check check it out my wonderful fish burger. They served the fish in a not McDonald kind of lousy bun but a nice, fresh long bun with pieces of onion and few lectuces. On the mini table you get a botal of lemon juice and salt to season. There will also be kids going around trying to sell you some tissue wipes. The tissue wipes are so effective in getting rid of the fishy smell on your hand. Great way of doing business. Bravo kiddo.

This pickle drink is some great stuff you pregnant woman must try. It will sure satisfy your craving for sour food. It has cumumber and cabbage leaf in it. Erm....not sure about the colour though. We got this from this little cart. I guess this cart must have also belonged to those people on the boat. Another way to make more money.

Finally, how cute and clever is it? This is their sea water sweeper, just like our floor sweeper to keep the place free from rubbish. Honestly so far I find Istanbul is fairly a clean and neat city.

Lord, May You Keep This So It Will Speed Things Up

2008-11-23T21:00:00.000Z

"That is a very encouraging word. Maybe you can contact with Alan in York to come up sometimes. Surely now you need brothers. But don's forget Bro Nee was raised up by ME Barber and Bro Lee was saved through Sis Doris and Moses was helped through women. Sisters in the Bible represent the seeking ones such as the Mary that gave birth to Jesus and the Mary who met the Lord at His resurrection. For your information. the recovery in Poland was brought in though a group of sisters praying together for one year and the Chinese work in US also though a group of elderly Chinese praying. . Never look down on sisters! You are there under God's sovereign arrangement. I believe that the Lord will do something through you sisters. Just be faithful! Amen. XXX"

This email is very encourging for all sisters here. Although I am still longing for James. It is not easy. Everytime it is a spiritual battle. It does take some difficulties for being an overcomer. However God already knows and today is the third stage which is the intensification which the compound life-giving Spirit was intensified sevenfold to become the sevenfold intensified Spirit (Revelation 1:4, 5:6). This sevenfold intensified Spirit is for the overcoming of the degradation of the church and the producing of the overcomers so that the Body of Christ can be built up in a practical way to consummate the New Jerusalem, which is the unique and eternal goal of God's heart's desire.

That weekend we have people from Cambridge, London and Nottingham came visiting us. It was a wonderful and blessed time. We have beared our first fruit!

Margaret and I were preparing. And everyone else all have wonderful time blending and fellowshipping. The way to enjoy Christ is by calling His name - Oh Lord Jesus.

Strumming for Singing

2008-11-17T21:59:00.003Z

Do you play any instrument? Piano? Guitar? Drum?

I play the piano. I play guitar. But you wouldn't want to be there when I'm playing. Yeah! That is how bad it is. So, I am now changing another playing direction. I'm playing so for you to sing-along. Isn't that fun to sing-along? Ooh I love singing-along. I like singing. Especially the ones I know. When I like a song, I will keep playing it. Eventually I learn that song by heart. Now I want to play the songs so you can sing-along. To do this, we have to think practical. I cannot carry a piano around but I can carry a guitar. Yup! A guitar. Now can anyone tell me how do you know what key to play when given you a piece of music note? Please don't tell me you just try until you get the right key. Arrggh....I'm not yet there to have that kind of talent.

I will keep on asking. You maybe my next asked person.

All Enchanted Up

2008-11-16T21:37:00.003Z

Can he read this?
Will he read?
How much longer?
How much more to archieve?
Why can it not be simple?
Is it me or you?

So close, so close, and still so far. Where is our home James?

The Church Life I am Missing Badly

2008-09-30T06:33:00.007+01:00

I am not and hate being religious. You can either be a religious Christian but have no Christ or you can be a Christian but love Him and have Christ as the all inclusive one. Beside God has turned away from those religious people long since when salvation has come to the Gentiles (those non-Jewish people i.e. we today).

Hymn lyrics:
1.
I've given up the world because
I've found something more
He's better than anything
I've ever found before
Yes, I have found the Living One
Oh, how my spirit soars!
I called His name, I'm not the same.
I am for the Lord!

(Chorus)
I'm for the Lord
I'm loving Jesus
I'm for the Lord
I'm calling O Lord Jesus!

2.
I've given up the world because
I've found something better
I have found the Living One
And He breaks every fetter
Yes, He's the One who set me free
Oh, how my spirit soars!
I called His name, I'm not the same
I am for the Lord!

3.
And now I'm really happy
Yes I'm fully satisfied
I have found the Living One
And He lives right inside
Of you and me, so come and see
Now our spirits soar!
We called His name, we're not the same.
We are for the Lord!
We're for the Lord
We're loving Jesus
We're for the Lord
We're calling O Lord Jesus!

Turkish Ice Cream

2008-09-16T21:33:00.010+01:00

Honestly...this is not my type of ice cream. I still much more prefer gelato. No no...I prefer gelato. This ice cream was made from goat's milk. It smelled and tasted alright and normal. But it was just me who felt weird with the texture itself. So thicky and creamy. This ice cream is also costly according to Lyn in Singapore. The ice cream man will play with you when you buy ice cream from him. Play as in a sense of in a naughty way of scooping and passing you the ice cream. It was fun and many times surprises you and also make you laugh very hard...hahahaha

Look at the way they stack the ice cream cones..wow...actually their cone is not bad either. It is the nice waffer one which in other place you have to pay money if you want that kind. If not you only get the cheap ice cream cone.

There..that man was playing with Lyn. We asked him to move slower so we can take pictures. This was when he past the ice cream to Lyn and again he used his ice cream stick (Turkish ice cream's scoop) and drawn the ice cream out from her hand. Excited and surprise. Excited, because the ice cream might fall at anytime. Surprised, because he was quick and swift.

My upside down ice cream. It doesn't melt very quick either.

Some Turkish Men

2008-09-04T13:00:00.000+01:00

I hope I will not offend any of my Turkish reader if there happen to be. From the Ataturk airport we took the metro to Sultanameh which was like the touristy area and where our hostel was located. Gosh to find our hostel has taken us very long time after circling the place and asking so many people. Well most of them actually came up to us to offer help. So nice and friendly right! Finally found our hostel - Nobel hostel. Outside it looks red, inside has 4 floors, top floor is the terrace where we have our breakfast and nice sea view. Our room number was 201 at second floor which has three rooms and a toilet. It wasn't very spacey but just nice and clean. But definately have to watch out when going up and down the stair. The height of the steps were not even. They can be too low or the other way.

OK...the some Turk men. Erm... Why the men? I know I am a married woman. But definately James will allow me to make this comment. Besides my title is some TURKISH men..not just some men..Let me make a list of their characteristics so you can get the full picture of them. But this cannot generalise all the Turk men either. ok.

1. Varies in height. Tall, short and very short. Like other nationals
2. Skin colour = pale, tan, very tan
3. Majority one has the top-fashion-magazine model looking eye and nose. 4. Mostly dressed smart as in nice shirt, trouser, leather belt and polished shoe when they work (including the guy working in kitchen). Hope this will make James feels guilty.
5. Hair = dark, mostly short and curve
With no alcohol effect but can dance holding hand during concert in park 6. Most like to stare at passerby
7. Most like to stop and say "Hi" to passerby.
8. Most of their everyday and every minute and never feel bore to say sentances especially to women passerby are:
Hi, how are you?
How is your day?
Where you from?
You are very pretty.
What is your name?
Are you Korean? Japanese? Chinese? *then started guessing where you from*
Would you like to come in and I treat you nice apple tea? *actually hoping we also have a look at his shop*

Where are you going later?
What are you doing tonight? *follow by* I finish work tonight at XXX and if you want we can go to XXX pub for a drink. *remember they are saying this to a stranger like me when I'm in their shop*

All in all... the Turk men - like approaching people. Purpose maybe for business, company or something else. But for me and Lyn we thought it was "kao lui". It is nothing wrong about that. Just it is something you don't see everyday let alone seeing the most of the whole one nation of the men will do. Funnily and sweet yet scary. I did not stake them! Just any woman who have been to Turkey will find this same feeling too.

得胜的一天

2008-09-02T22:17:00.003+01:00

以后再慢慢跟你说设么是诸天的国。

2008-09-01T20:26:00.004+01:00

But how the heck am I going to finish calling that 20hours when 08445, 0807 kind of number are exception from free call time? =( *sob sob*

So friends please come to me if you are desperate for free call time. You can help me kill this 20hours. =P

Friends' Wedding and My Memories

2008-08-31T21:18:00.013+01:00

Last saturday was these friends' wedding. Very sweet couple. God bless them and their marriage. The ceremony has brought back the sweet　memories when James and I got married. This year January I bumped into these couple while transitting for 9 hrs in Dubai airport. Coincidently they were also waiting for the same flight. So we stayed together, talked, ate, got tired and got some rest. I was going back to get married and the bride here was going back to look for her wedding dress. Time really flies. So quick. And I'm still here everday waiting for my husband. Only God knows and can become James' and mine patience and comforter to bring us over this transistion period. He will strengthen us.

Remembering the time when I only have two weeks to get most of the wedding stuffs ready plus in the middle of getting ready for Chinese New Year. The wedding was very successful and was what I have wanted and I'm very grateful for everyone's help and time.

I remember when I just touched down in KK 9:30am, when James, my mom, dad and sister were there. We went to my favourite coffee shop for breakfast "wat tan ho" and immediately after breakfast we went to the Minisitry of Marriage to get the form, then to the Commission of Oath and back again to submit our wedding application. Luckily no queue at all and we got this important bit done in a day. The next day, me, mom and sister went for the wedding dress hunt. And again it only took us to shop three wedding shops and I had found mine in the third shop including the studio photo shoot. I cannot stop praising that it was really the soverignty arrangement from God.

My wedding invitations, flowers and venue decoration were unexpectedly but very amazingly handled by my dear relative. I only found out she runs her business as a party and wedding organisers when I was at home. My wedding venue is specially picked by me and mum as this place is where me and James met and most of my sweet time childhood is from here, where people there seeing me growing up and most important it was a place and the people there who have nutured and have helped me in growing through my spiritual life. Our wedding was smoothly annouced throught in the newsletter, msn head title and invitation cards. Also embrassingly annouced during my first high school reunion however it was sweet and unforgettable. It did surprised many ex-mates. But thank you for the gift and wishes.

High tea reception (just after wedding ceremony) and dinner banquet (as gesture of thank you just for family+relatives+close friends+people who have helped in preparation) were no difficulthy to find and food was awesome thinking that I started feeling a foreigner to KK. I should have taken the food photos. All big thanks to mum and her friends.

Hair and make-up, wedding car, venue seats & tables arrangement, wedding ceremony programme booklet, pianists, brothers leading the ceremony, camera man, videoing man, ushers, brothers entertaining the guests during dinner were all amazingly handled by my dear friends and brothers and sisters in Christ. These people were once with me and James in the youth service and seeing them all again and participated in the wedding ceremony has touched our heart as this kind of love definitely have to be love form God in them.

Minjin, Qianqian, Oioi, wishing you guys were here with us. Miss you lots.

Holiday in Istanbul

2008-08-27T19:25:00.008+01:00

Awesome!!!! Since this February after coming back from home (Malaysia), I haven't really been anywhere after that. Gosh it was a near to death experience to do this. I really admire the people who can never take holidays and work all the time. Don't get me wrong as I do work so much harder than many people can imagine. Maybe I am the kind "work hard play harder".*LOL*

So on this August bank holiday weekend, I took 2 days off work with Lyn who happen to be my colleg from work and also a friend. Together we jet off to Istanbul on the Friday 22 August and just got back yesterday 26 August. Thanks Lyn for being my partner in this time travelling. It was an unforgettable moment. Lyn stayed overnight at mine and the next morning at 4am we took the taxi to airport to catch our 5:50am flight. We flew there with KLM (the Netherland's flight) and returned with Air France.

The Blue Mosque. Our accomodation was just behind this place. Certainly this is ours morning call too.Schipol airport in Amsterdam, Netherland. Known to be the coming best in Europe if not mistaken. Lyn has made a note regarding the Dutch people's hhhheightttt. Our hostel roomie was also from Amsterdam and he is dead tall.
I think this is some kind of TV games for the in-transitting passenger to kill time.
and laying down platform to sleep.

NO FEAR

2008-08-11T21:10:00.002+01:00

I sometimes fear. No, I actually fear a lot.

What about you? What makes you fear the most?
Do you always fear? What do you do when you fear?

I get angry when I fear.
I become unusually aware of the surrounding when I fear.
I workout even harder when I fear.
I choose to watch extreme action movie and war time movie when I fear.
I choose techno type of music when I fear.
I talk less when I fear.
I still smile but not laugh when I fear.
Very blessed that I always find my greatest comforter when I fear.

This is me. I mature through transcending in my fear. This is how I come by. You can think what you want.

I will make me forget you.

2008-08-01T07:03:00.002+01:00

I will forget you. That is the only way I can be freed from drowning the misery you gave me. When you see this I already dont know you. I will also have forgotten the days we had before. Dont be surprised when you see me laughing again.

See Dave...how he can "harm".........

2008-07-16T20:35:00.005+01:00

With a friend we went to see this guy played. He is good looking right. *LOL* He is my ex-manager. I know him while working in a French restaurant in Newcastle - Le Normad. First time thought that he was a French. However he's not but just speak fluently French and dress smart. Anyway Dave was performing that night. He plays the harmonica in Verity Burton's band. That night has three great bands performing their best music.

Verity and her band. See Dave playing the harm

Just a thought of how cool is that lamp shade

生活里得胜的小经历

2008-07-07T08:13:00.008+01:00

那人说他有告诉我，实际上他没有。我不跟他吵了，我也其实差一点哭了。那个时候我就祷告，打开了http://www.gospel123.com/ 听了弟兄姊妹对主的见证，心里也就平复了。觉得人对我的小小得罪是一种环境能让我有生命上的长成。就是这样，我转到祷告，告诉了主，也为那人带祷。

我也正数数自己过去有没有得罪了人而还没有道歉的。诺有我也知道的，我就得赶快道歉。特别是和我妹妹。诺有但我不知道的，求主向我曝露，好使我也可以来得及道歉。求主保守我的一举一动，言行举子。...因为立志为善由得我，只是行出来由不得我。（罗7：18）有主就是甜美的。今天我又与主主走过去了。好喜乐哦，主啊我愿你来。

Great weekend part 2 (Church life)

2008-06-28T15:47:00.007+01:00

Today we set forward to Leeds. Allan and the family will meet us there later. We have decided to go to Leeds for visiting the saints there and also for the Lord's table meeting. We were delighted when knowing saints from Nottingham were coming too.

We soon came to Leeds high street and meet up with most of them. Before the meeting start we did some Rhema distribution at the high street. The Rhema table and tent were already set up. This was my first time and is kind of nervous but also fun. Rhema distribution was actually to give out free Bible. I was distributing together with Ester.

So to the people there, we went "Hello, would you like a free Bible?" Well most of the people just say no thank you. However we did have some who are opened and would like to know more. Suprisingly most of them are young people. I felt very happy and excited when someone say "I'll have one, thank you". Honestly, I actually felt more happier than scoring a 100% in a test. It was a feeling I don't want to forget. I was rejoiced because there was a faint hope that this person who want the Bible, might read it and Lord will shine the light into this person spirit for In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. (John 1: 4-5). In the other hand when someone say no, thank you, I was feeling sorry for them. I looked at them carefully and just say thank you back. What happen if you don't accept Christ as your life? I'm not here to preach Christianity but to preach Christ. Today Christianity has became just another empty, meaningless, outwardly worship. It is sad to say most of them have moved away from the matter of having Christ as life.....I respect to other people's belief. However how we worship, it is still better to worship a "living" God, a God that has created us and loves us and we will love Him back. Oh Lord Jesus I love you because you first love me. Can you declare such love to the God you believe?
After a morning of distributing, we decided to pack and leave. It has struckked me a bit when we were readying to leave. I just remember that the gospel we preach in today's age is the gospel of grace. The gospel of grace will not be forever preached. It will stop when the number is fullfilled. My dearest friends and family, I hope you are one of the count. It sounds crazy but I cannot neglect the fact - the history of Israel, the fulfillment of the prophesied word in the Bible in previous age and this age, the preservation of the Bible (thinking about how many times in human history when certain events that can fully whipped out the Bible but it still stay firm until today) and the most is my joy and peace when I pray to Him (because man is the only creature that is created with the spirit and man's spirit is the organ to contact our God. Man's spirit is like another thing e.g. man's soul and man's flesh)
The afternoon we have everyone there praising, singing, sharing, encouraging, prophesying etc... The meeting was glorious and full of riches. This is the church. The Christianity has made many people relating the word church to the building that has a cross on it. That should be refered to a building or meeting hall. If we really come to the scripture we will realize that the church is actually when believers come together worshipping God in their spirit. This is a church. (Corinthians 1: 2). Bind the enemy who cause confusion among God's children. Hallelujah this is the church life. Spiritually and body satisfaction. No more anxiety from the world. We have Christ as our real food and we have brothers and sisters' love to feed our tummy. =)
God loves children too.

开始很想念了

现在只剩下九个月了。如果可以就会变成七个月。很快很快的会过去。要一直屦续的仰望和祷告。亲爱的我好想你了。也不知道这段日子我是如何过来的。就像老鼠爱大米吧！

Whatever lies ahead, good or bad, we will face together. Distance may test us for a time, and time may trie us. But if we look to each other first, we will always see a friend. I look to you for all the days to come; today I take my place as your beloved wife. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live.

我聽見你的聲音有種特別的感覺 讓我不斷想不敢再忘記你
我記得有一個人永遠留在我心中哪怕只能夠這樣的想你
如果真的有一天愛情理想會實現
我會加倍努力好好對你永遠不改變
不管路有多麼遠一定會讓它實現
我會親親在你耳邊對你說(對你說)
我愛你愛著你就像老鼠愛大米
不管有多少風雨我都會依然陪著你
我想你想著你不管有多麼的苦
只要能讓你開心我什麼都願意這樣愛你

老公！你还记得这首吗？q^_^p

Another great weekend away (part I)

2008-06-18T12:07:00.012+01:00

Saturday for me meant to be a slightly longer lie in day since I have been up at 6am from Mon to Fri getting ready for work. However this day (14th Jun 08) I got up at 6:30am to catch my train at 7:30am. Bearing with my half opened and half closed eye I reached the train station, printed out the pre-booked fast ticket and boarded the train. Yeah! I'm heading to York to meet up with Ruby and other sisters and also the couple who has just migrated from USA to York.

They have very cute children and they're smart too. The boy who is three was telling me how to read and his sister who is one was feeding her baby doll. Very cute.

Before meeting them I took a stroll in York city centre. That day was a Saturday for course you get many people out visiting and shopping. What a coincidence the time when I'm in York was happened to be to the queen of England's birthday (just the official birthday not her real birthday though). So they held a salutation event in the Garden Museum of York. UK each year has only five salutating stations - no doubt is London, Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and York (representing the North of England). Quite a number of people were there watching. I was at the very front row. A lady next to me told us that one of the people who fired the canon was her daughter. We started to chat and realize that she knew Sabah and Kota Kinabalu. Her son is currently there back-packing. That morning has been sunny and on-off drizzling. Prince Andrew (the one on the stage) and the other big people were there. Not a clue who are the others. =PThe couple from USA gave us really warm hospitality. Julia is a Korean and Allan an American. So their children are mixed blood. Very pretty and handsome. That night Julia made us nice Korean dinner. Ruby, Li Jing, Ester, Jia Nuo and I were all stuffed. Everyone was chilling and happy. Gosh that night just ended so quick.

Tomorrow we all travelled to Leeds. Stay tune for part 2.

Nicer junkies

2008-06-07T23:42:00.005+01:00

I don't really do snack. However when it is time, these are some of my favourite.

very nice buttery taste. I find this is the best madelines among all other factory made one.

Ritter is always one of my favourite chocolate. Too bad they only made them this size. I got this in Fenwick, Newcastle when there was sale, haha two for 2pounds. Therefore one pounds each =P. Normally it costs more. The candy stick was happened that I'm trying it out since I never have one.

Yoohoo...hula hoop...I have change from Walker crisp to this for a cheaper and healthier crisp. See no artificial flavours, colours or MSG.

Kettle chips is considered the "posh" crisp. The best flavour I think is the mango and chilli one.

Here are my final end product, come get them quick!

2008-06-07T23:12:00.009+01:00

Being so inspired by those food bloggers, I'm learning to get a grip of how good is a good food. Anyway for me, I'm getting there... here are some of my final products. They all smell good, looking hot and tasted good too. For the record this is my first time making them.

Fried meat pancake: egg, white flour, minced pork, spring onion
spagehetti, dried tomato, olive oil, basmic vinegar, antichokes, anchovies,

chopped salami, black bean, dried chopped basil

chopped fresh tomatoes, feta cheese, dried cranberry, antichokes, olive oil,

Is that how has our favourite Disney princess have become?

Eating Crayfish - It is your call

2008-04-21T22:23:00.015+01:00

Just received a forwarded chain email from a dear friend. I knew her because of my sister (well..her best friend). Anyway the email --

Please be alert of this food item ... It may infect your lung.

Do not eat these mini lobsters.These mini crustaceans are literally the garbage cleaners in the sewage treatment plants. The 'dirtier' the water, the fatter these mini lobsters become.Their lungs are full of worms and their flesh saturated with poisonous metals.

Unscrupulous merchants somehow found a way to get these marketed to eateries.

But guess what?!? I actually ate some during my trip in Croatia. I got this from the night market. It is like their version of fish and chips but instead of the fish you get crayfish and calamari!

And so...the email continues with -- Do not order this dish. Pass this to those friends who may want to try these mini 'lobsters'.

Ehem...Another explaination on this disease term from Wikipedia: Paragonimiasis is a food-borne parasitic infection caused by the lung fluke, most commonly Paragonimus westermani. Infection in humans mainly occurs by ingestion of raw or undercooked freshwater crabs or crayfishes. It infects an estimated 22 million people worldwide. It is particularly common in East Asia. In China it has 2 different species the Paragonimus westermani and Pagumogonimus skrjabini. Treatment is with praziquantel, antiparasitic drug.

Anyhow, this is the nice view from our hotel. I captured this in the morning. Look how still is the water.. I asked how can the boat owners get to their boats when they let their boats float so far off shore...answer: they will pull the line tied between the boat and pole at the jeti towards them. The small boat is actually quite light when in water.

And us!
