What happen?

Auntie called me yesterday afternoon and when i learnt that she actually came to church to look for me on last sun, i felt extremely guilty ... i have always wanted to contact her but dun know what's wrong with me. i just didnt take any action even after being prompted my cell members ...

i'm so glad to meet auntie & uncle this morning at the foyer. the very short conversation we had is very good and i like it the most when they acknowledge me as their daughter. she told me jokingly that when she couldnt find me last sunday, she told uncle that "my daughter is missing". hahaha ... they're really sweet ... n even after i reminded n re-reminded her not to buy things for me, she still bought me simple breakfast. this's how i start my day ...

i was feeling a bit disappointed over something just now ... dun know why i have such feelings ... shouldnt me be able to overcome such things with the POWER received during church camp??? i need to self-reflect ... ... ...

Treasure found - Part 2

We visited Good Samaritan Home at Klang (http://www.clix.to/gsh). I see God's miracles in this home as they are truly well-blessed. There're around 30 children there, ranging from 3 mths old to 18 yrs old. Everyone of them comes from different background.

Amongst the few whom i interact with, Rachel Ng set a very deep impression in me. Her background touches my heart and thru a very special occasion, we exchanged some deep talks ... i just feel that it's God who create that opportunity for us to know each other better.

When she told me that her mum and i have similarity in our features, i was speechless yet i can feel something in my heart. This set me re-thinking abt my purpose of visiting this orphanage ...

She's so adorable, pretty and smart. I pray that she will grow up to be a good role model in GSH. Do not know when will i return to GSH again but i hope that she still remember me the next time we meet.

Treasures found - Part 1

Hope I didnt mislead anyone with the word 'treasure'. If you think I have found gold or silver, you're wrong ... hahaha ... but what I've found is more precious that gold or silver ... heehee

On the 2nd half of my trip, I exchanged sms with a very close galfriend. Both of us felt quite negative over different things and were sharing & encouraging one another. Knowing that each sms sent from msia wouldnt be cheap, I still insist to reply each message cos I believe friendship cannot be measured by money. Thru those days of sharing and encouraging, I really want to thank God for this friendship which both of us can walk together, esp during difficult times, and physical distance is of non-existent.

Dear Jack, too many things happen in our lives, which will bring injustice to God if we simply concluded it with the word 'coincidence'. Nothing in this world is coincidence. Our paths crossed for a good, else greater reason. Let's uphold the Creater's plan for us to the fullest and walk the journey together and forever cos I dun want to go heaven without you.

Money cant buy friendship. Pride cant preserve love.

Home ... FINALLY

I'm finally home after being away for 8 days in msia. 8 days isnt long since i have been on longer trips before but this trip is extremely loooong. I experienced many many things thru out this trip and my emotions is yo-yo-ing thru out this trip ...

just reach home at arond 12:30am and cant stop myself from logging on to internet to check emails and chk other sites ...

too tired now so i will post my encounter with God in future entries ... just want to mention how FUN it was to surprise 2 person at 1 time and the real excitment is both the "target" only knows abt 1 part of the surprise plan ... and the nite before, Huifang nearly spot the card when she scream out my name at the lift lobby and rush into my room while yinghui is writing the card ... everyone in the room got a SHOCK ... heng we're fast enough to hide the card under the blanket, sit on top of the blanket and keep denying abt it ... hahaha!!!

and when we sing birthday song for wailing, she still blur blur and sing along, not knowing it's for her ... and before we finish singing the song, the candles has already went off ... Annie, who is holding the cake, must be feeling very happy and excited and use too much strength when she sing the song lor ... hahaha!!!

Well well ... this's just 1 of the highlights of the church camp ...

Pursuing a purpose-driven life

It's so amazing how a casual converstation leads me to more opportunities of works that I'm always looking out for ... I visited the home on Sun evening and I really love that place. The 5 girls that I met are so lovely and the home is so well-maintained and well-furnished.
I'm very thankful that they're willing to pay me for the service but for various reasons, I'm fine with only an allowance although I dun want to deny that I struggle in my heart between money and integrity ... which I finally conclude that life is not just about money and survival.
Anyway I really look forward to work with the girls in the home. Even though it's only 1 for a start, the thought of helping them with my most minimum thrill me.
While walking along the dark alley with Xiaoying, we talked shared about a lot of things such as career change and family support, it's so heart-warming to meet someone who pursuit life with the purpose and interest as the main focus. What outsiders say or comment is just secondary.
Prehaps it may take me another decade to meet another person that touches my heart in a similar manner, I will still uphold that principle in my life.
