the new blog noting the ins and outs, ups(stairs) and downs(stairs) of Eaglepoint.

maybe i've been around for so long, maybe my eyes were open, maybe just so happen, but i'll post up what i noted with my eyes happening in the church at the blog so that we can all see it too. =)
let's make Eaglepoint the MOST happening church. yahoo!!

Mar/Apr THE POINT - an upcoming issue dropped from heaven...

let me share a little about how great is my god.

i forgot about coming out with the point. things happen and it just slipped my mind.. by the time i remember about it, it was soooo last min and sooo rush that i knew none of my usual designers can come out with the cover design for me - not matter how i beg them cos i also happen to know what are the other list of things they are rushing for. so i know i'm doomed. but...
but the secret is i've got the best god ever! right when i was thinking what am i gonna do, god dropped this into my heart - "do it yourself. do a drop of blood. put the word 'forgiven' and full stop it with the cross".
it's not the award-winning design ever but it's real to everyone who'd encountered the forgiveness of the cross. it's simple. it's simply real.

suddenly, i came to be at peace. no stress over it, no fret over it. so i went to search for a drop of blood kind of picture (many gory ones came out and spoiled my breakfast appetite!!!) and came across this photo. i kinda plonk it in, sent to the pastoral staffs for opinions (didnt want to scare the kids just in case) and the response was ok. so this is the upcoming cover of the mar/apr THE POINT. just want to let you know that the church's newsletter sometimes 'drop from sky'... ahahahha.... enjoy it - the issue from heaven.

Another Surprise Bridal Shower

yeah! after the cat-nap episode, last Tuesday, a few of us pakat to surprise Mei Fung in a surprise bridal shower!

We meet at Sushi Zanmai (i think spelled like that) and pakat with Chiqui and Shaun to bring Mei Fung here... she was not like shocked-surprise, more like confused-blank-surprised! hahahaha...


We had dinner together, give her a little pretzie each, then we brought Shaun in to sing a love song to Mei Fung (unchained Melody) and share 10 things he loves about Mei Fung. from Mei Fung's expression, u can see she's enjoying it! hahahahaa....

date with li shun

last nite li shun took me on a date to this restaurant that i really really really love. so i told her i like her a little bit more now! hahahaha..... but apparently everybody knows about the restaurant... except me.. hahaha....

pink chocolate notepad for appetisers!! ahahha... just kidding.

next time i want to sit outside.... so garden-ly cute... ehheeh....
i think it's call wak ser chicken chop. not bad.. li shun asked me try this.. hehe...

we sat upstairs... nice also...

it was a good time with li shun. just catching up and i entertained her tremendously! hehhe...
but then after that the night went downhill.....

my mondays

every mondays, this is where i am...

the topic on love

this topic has been in my thoughts lately because recently i realised that many ppl around me have parents that have split up or separated or have very strained relationship with one another.... my own parents included in the list.

i even accidentally stumbled to a song by Justin Lo that he wrote about how he's affected by his parents' divorce. he cried when he sang it. that kinda hit my button though. the song ends with a line that says, "marriage is not merely about a kiss..." then i met with a couple of ppl telling me their parents' separation...

it makes me wonder this - i'm sure when they were dating, they were all lovey-dovey, and that's why they happily got married and have a few kids... and then end up separated and strained..??
is this really how life will end?

why are there so many hurt relationships that hurt themselves and sometimes like mine, the children are the ones also affected in a lifetime of bruised confidence.

there was a time i told myself if this is love n marriage, then it's fine with me not to have it.


but but but...
i see ps steven n wife, ps tim n wife, mark kor n wife, michael n ju and other couples in church, they are happy, they love being married, they work things out, they are stil lovey-dovey at this age and they continue the romance..
this should be the way of life right...

it's no wonder bible says,
1Co 13:4 Love is kind and patient, never jealous, boastful, proud, or
1Co 13:5 rude. Love isn't selfish or quick tempered. It doesn't keep a record of wrongs that others do.
1Co 13:6 Love rejoices in the truth, but not in evil.
1Co 13:7 Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting.
1Co 13:8 Love never fails! ...

without the love of God, the obedience of the word, the change that the spirit bring, how can life work out to a happily ever after chapter...?
without the forgiveness of God, the setting free of the past, how can one move on from the past into a new life of freedom and hope....?
without God, where can one hope or hang on to most securely...?

maybe u'll say u can. but for me, i need God. i need God because i don't like the endings i see. i want to create the biblical ending to the topic of love - that's the wedding vow.


Lord, thank you for your love, your forgiveness, your word, your Spirit.
you give me hope to a life that's not bleak and painful. you set me free from the past hurts.
How can i ever keep from singing of your praise? You're the God!

this past week, i was trying to break into a new habit - early for work. so every night i try to sleep a little bit earlier, every morning i set my alarm for 7am and try to wake up, then reach office by 8:10am or so. the window of time from then til ppl started coming in about 9:20am is my peace and quiet time. (except yesterday morning i cant wake up cos went to midnite movie and got home like 2:30am or so....)

i've come to appreciate it so much. just a window for me to gather my tots, do a few personal things (like blogging now), sort a few things out before things start to pick up and i rush for my life... hahahha....

i kinda like this new habit more. i started a part-time job every monday. so now my time is even more scheduled. everything needs to be well-planned else i end up at the bottom of a pile of things to do. i still hope to keep my sanity! hahahaah....

Kat-nap bridal shower

just we went to kidnap pc the celebrity to her bridal shower.... blindfolded her and took her to mid valley. ppl stop and see what are we doing! hahahahaha.... it was funny.. she was the most cooperative victim to be kidnapped... and most excited to be kidnapped! ajoh! ahahha...

we played a simple ice-breaker, called Kelvin to pay ransom by answering our questions - when did u first realise you love pc, name two things u love about pc, which part of her body u like the most, what is pc's i/c number, what's her shoe size, when did u first hold hands, what was the last thing she said to you before this conversation and he had to recite the valentine's day poem he wrote for her! hahahhaa....

then, everyone gave her a present that comes with a verse to bless her, we prayed for her.

on behalf of pc, i thank everyone for coming with a small little gift from bali. a wooden cat calendar with the dates March 14 and a little note.

then group photo!! yeah... hehe... of course after that she was RELEASED!
this is a little gift from the discipleship gals to thank her for being blessing in our lives. wanted to model after "along came polly" but then tak jadi. end up become like this. each of the pose got a meaning wan lah...

happy birthday, cute face

dear nailin,

just want to tell you that you are more precious than lilies in the fields to God - no matter the past, the present, or the future.
If He adorns the lilies at the field that will wilt away in a day or two to such intricate splendor, what more does He loves you and cherishes you. the past is has past. the present is a gift, the future is in His hands. He's made sure you grew up well and He'll make sure you will finish the race well. You are most loved this present.

Happy Birthday.

love, Sharon.

bali bali

before we left, there were indonesians giving us (me and aaron were talking about it) advice what to do and not to do in bali.. hahaha...dont buy pencils from the kids, dont feed the monkeys and such lah... hahaha....

so the journey begins... charlene sat with me, ps steven was sleeping, beekim reading and aaron i dont know what he was doing...

and we have arrived at night.


this is the hotel we stayed at. the GM is a christian so he really gave us good rates! it's really worth the money. with welcome drinks, breakfast included. that's our room. i slept in the middle.

next day, we went to Ubud the shopping market. spent all our money. bought tons of stuffs. and had babi guling nearby there (this is like a tourist stop so it was more expensive - a ripped off. ah but then, it's a must try. let's not talk about how they prepare the meal..... hahaha...

this is bali colada. a restaurant in discovery mall.
the food is actually quite good compared to our hotel's food. haha.... 10 mins walk away from our hotel. we sat there facing the sea. the wind was soooo strong and cold. it's not expensive actually like RM10 per dish lah. the mall had a warehouse shop with RM30 canvas converse shoes! i wanted to get but no size. aaron bought two pairs, max, kel and dan bought one pair each.

ok. these are from 'tanah lot'. erm... floating temple. if tide is low, u can walk from the mainland to the temple out there but the tide was hide so we cant walk over (i dont want also). it was scary from the high place we were taking photo i hang on to max for dear life just to take that shot. dunno why neil kept appearing behind me. and finally if u can see the two tiny fella inside the red circle. that was max and aaron. hahaha.... my camera can only zoom 3 times so cant get them. but then after that they went down below to the gerbang for me to take the shots all the way from here... with kel's 12x zoom super power camera! hahaha...

that's steven pretending to be a jap tourist with his orange hat, green t and pink 'frogs'! ahahahaha....

this is by far, the BEST meal in bali we had. we were enroute to another location and stopped by some stalls at the side of the road where there is babi guling for the boys who'd not tried it yet, there's sate babi (very yummy) for us and the nasi campur bali. yeah.... the simple food is more tasty than all the hotel food for the past few days and it's soooo cheap some more.. ajoh!
next, we went to this place. ulu...something. i forgot the name.
it's another temple place where it's next to the sea lah. i braved it and went there to take the picture... so scary! they warned us there would be monkeys and asked us to keep everything cos would steal or grab.

we were taking pictures and the monkey came nearer and nearer to Steven. one local said he want the bottle of water that steven was holding so we left it at the floor and the monkey grab it and bite straight thru the bottle to drink the water. the fangs were scary to see!

ok. here, let me tell u my trauma story. this is the most unpleasant part of the trip for me. i was walking behind max, in front of steven and beekim at "01" . one moneky from big x on the pillar, lunge at me with its claws. i closed my eyes cos i scared it will poke my eyes or hang on to me!! i screamed. the monkey took my specs.
i opened my eyes, nobody beside me, monkey at X on the floor came to grab my slipper with its claws. i jump, stampped my feet and scream and cry and yell all at the same time at "02" and other monkeys started surrounding us hence all the little 'x'. it was so scary. i was literally shaking whole body and crying. it was so scary. finally one of the locals came and exchanged food back for my specs but the shape was abit out and it bite my specs. i wanted to leave immediately but i still have to go through the route to get out and there were also many monkeys on the way. it was one of the most scary time of my life i cried all the way in the van, all the way down the hill. i text kat and told her i was soo scared. i put on the earplug, on the music loud to drown out the voices of the rest of them in the van cos they were talking about how another monkey stole cuza' hat and how it show its fangs and all that. i sat there trying not to hear them and tearing all the way down.

the thing in my mind was. i really hate this place. this full of idols place. this fake spiritual place that let the monkeys scare human. and i know one thing. God gave Adam authority over all the animals but the devil is so evil that it put such fear over human (especially those in bali) that the ppl fear the very thing that they have authority over. even when the driver shared with us the local culture and religion, he told us that at every door there are two creature seated there as guardian to 'disturb' ppl who walk in that did not give offering to them. when i heard that, i felt so heavy-laden and so sadden to see the ppl leaving under such bondage and slavery to fear when God has set us free from can give us a hope and success.

i knew then that i was treading on spiritual ground (that place was a temple ground) that's why the spirit in the monkey was trying to put fear in me. later at night, i spent a long time praying and interceeeding for the land n for myself. greater is the one in me than the one that is in the monkey. it wont deter me from praying for Bali and throughout the rest of the trip, i kept praying on and off. and as we take off in the flight, i look down at the land and added my prayers to petition in heaven for a breakthrough for the land.

dewata cafe. the almost last stop of day 3 - at Jimbaran beach. we were gonna have dinner on the beach literally but it rained so we moved into the restaurant. erm... probably cos spoiled by good seafood in KL, the food is so-so only lah.. but i'm sure u like Daniel's posing above. the funny thing about the last picture there was aaron had really bad sunburn. when max did the surprise run and jump on his shoulder, aaron yelped in PAIN! hahaha...

the last morning. we were all pysched up to spend all the leftover money to go home later but it was raining on and off all morning, ruining our mood. so we sat there and started playing "6 Take" cos didnt want to play 'mafia'. it was simple fun but we enjoyed ourselves and didnt waste time. hehee... next time i can introduce the game to you.

aaron the fly!
he did buy one dark glasses in the end - not this one but another one that made him look really more cool!

err... i didnt believe it too!!! ps steven would do such a thing in public!! at the airport! we created a commotion. the shop assistants came rushing out and laugh with us!! hahaha...
he wanted to show off his pink 'frogs' with kelvin's new handmade real leather jacket, and polo new short pants!! hahaha... it was a hilarious sight!


i finally bought the flower clip i wanted!! yeah! this is one of the thing i bought that i SUPER like-y! hehehe... (was waiting to board at the airport)

ok. confession. i went with a half empty luggage bag, i came back full to the brim! i bought two dress, two blouses, a big load of souvenirs for a surprise, some pouches, a bag for my mom, bangles for my girls, a little dress for my isabelle, a present for this sun, two pairs of slippers and three board shorts! yeah! hahahah..... oh yeah and my two flower clips and sun burn on my shoulders!...

m always glad i'm back. to my own bed. own toilet. can sms without worrying of the price. can drive to wherever and not scared be lost. can get back to typing at my baby... ooo... shiok.. hehehe...

guess what i did when i arrived at home? on my baby, send email to my discipleship girls and ask them if they want to take discipleship trip to bali this jun/july! hahahahaha.... yahoo....

sat & sun

when it comes to the 1a.m. gathering a bunch of crazy creative ppl, posing for photos is one common thing. "band posing in the kitchen".
but we were really just trying to catch the domestic scene of the to-be-married couple!!!!
hahahahaha.....

sunday - 1a.m. head of department meeting!
potluck. we were waiting for everyone to come so can only look the yummy food but cant dig in.

Saturday - we(dance) celebrated Jasmine's bday!
and this year she's 20 and she took the time to share her life story with her friends.
got a chance, you should ask her to share with you and you will see the grace of God in her life. I'm so glad she came to KL and also plug in and join the team. she's been such a tremendous blessing to the team and with her added flavour, the team has been more salty! =)
Happy birthday dear!

i know it looks a little dark but i'm lazy to edit it. just like this shot... =)

cousins

i feel soooo old.
see the girl in the picture below? my cousin rowena.
when she was born, i took care of during confinement time. i pity my grandma have to wake up in the middle of the night to feed the baby mar. so i woke up in the night and make milk, feed her and burp her and put her back to sleep.
now she's even taller than me!!
see any resemblance? she's my father's sister's daughter. but she is like biscuit chop face with her father lah. ahahhaha....
this is regina (rowena's younger sister). pretty little girl!
she tinks i'm 19 yrs old! hahahaha....... if long hair, i look 23 yrs old!! hahahaha....
i think it's probably cos i've been hanging out with them instead of with the adults during cny visits that'd disillusioned her. (does that mean i look young or i was childish??!!)
she wants to get me a mini-skirt. hahahaha...

it's been an interesting cny.

bibiwok

had bibiwok (bdr puteri) just now.
it's pretty interesting. hehehehe...
