My First Mission Trip – Day 3

As I mentioned in the earlier post that we were pleasantly surprised and informed that we had 4 places of ministry today, so the team was split into 4.  I stayed behind with Ps Lim at Ps Agusto Edwas’s church, no photographs as we didn’t have a camera.

At Banao, Jen and Leon's place of ministry. We were there last night for the crusade.

My First Mission Trip Day 1 & 2

Our Church has a team leaving for mission to the Philippines in March and I was talking to Leon about the desire to go again and also about our trip some years back.  He suggested that I blogged about our trip and I went “hey, that is a good idea since I have the photos and videos” (provided I can upload them).  But of course that trip was 4 years ago!

Shoes, shoes & more shoes

Ah hmmmm…I have quite a collection of shoes and sandals. Someone said that I have a former first lady’s disease…shoe fetish. Nooooo…not even close at all.  I prefer to say that it’s a hobby!  But I have to admit I am drawn like a magnet to a shoe shop when I do see one (just browsing and trying on are also fun! ). 

The power of words…

The power of words…both spoken and written!

How often have I said something then regretted?… lost count    How often have I written something then wished for them not be read?…

Festivities and Food

Just came back from my first Chinese New Year indulgence   I know I know its still a few days to Chinese New Year and I already started eating!?

The hostess is an excellent cook!  We had steamed nasi lemak…really good textured rice since it was steamed, topped with almost perfect sambal.  As a Penangite, I have a preference for  fresh sambal belachan not the tumis sambal, that’s why the ‘almost perfect sambal’ . I had a sinful second helping of rice which I normally can abstain (there goes the already non-existence waistline… expand some more…sigh).  Finished off with chendol…also ’slurpily’ and sinfully delicious (tasted almost like the Penang Road one!)

Looks like this Chinese New Year I will be eating alot…sigh (more invitations to come).  I can’t afford to put on as whatever that’s put on stays put!  Festive seasons and food seemed to go hand in hand.   I guess I shouldn’t blame myself  for the extra few pounds, just got to work extremely hard on shedding after the festivity

This is just a short post to wish all a Blessed Chinese New Year!  To those travelling back to hometown and will be spending time with families, relatives and friends, may you have a fruitful time together!   To those  just having a long break, relax to the max ya!
