SHERA'S BORDER

It's been a while since we have gathered.  Enjoyed the swim (more of just splashing actually), shooting random photos, having a game of snooker and simple dinner. Then back home, Travis and ah po played their favourite game.  It's been a relaxing day. So blessed to be in this family. And I think we should do this more often. 

1. Thank God my off day fell on a public holiday so I can be home when my sister is home (I barely see her when I'm working) and our whole family can have dinner together.  Also thank God for a good boss who didn't request me to go back work today because it was a busy day. 2. Thank God I'm healthy where I can cook for my family and help out with chores around the house. 3. Thank God for the cool comfy rainy weather. 4. Thank God Ah Po still can walk on her own and go out with us.  Thank God for good parking spaces whenever I bring Ah Po out.  I KNOW these are NOT coincidence. 5. Thank God parents back from Marudi trip safely and heard stories of how they had a good time there. 6. Thank God for parents' close friends esp Uncle Choo Sin and Uncle De Xin family who occassionally drop by our place to hang out with my parents and giving us lots of joy and laughter and good company. 7. Thank God for my cosy craft room and the quiet evening where I can have some q...

My rest day started off with jolly good brekkie - mom's homemade pancakes and fresh coffee~! (forgot take picture of coffee though)  Then I tidied my craft room.... I checked the last time I did some major organizing was March 12th ! Gosh, has it been that long already?  Well this time is not much difference from the last because I haven't been maintaining much after I started working and plus we had a termite attack which was rather disastrous which caused us to take down a few walls, got the whole house treated (hence everything cluttered to the middle of every room, imagine that!!) and repainted/rebuilt some walls........ neways, I'm pretty happy with the outcome today : )  A little more determined to make it a comfy place to work, a place to be able to be inspired.  Well, I'll blog about it if I make progress, then again, fingers crossed.. hehe....   Then for dinner, grandma made some awesome pork belly fried with wine.  She kinda purpo...

Aaaahhhhh~~~~ Finally rest day again. ^^ However, didn't get much rest today. There's just so much to do, and honestly, I'm not managing myself very well :( .....I tend to miss out things, and neglect certain people because I'm so self involved in my own stuff...... sigh......Sometimes I wonder if only we could upgrade our memory cards (brain) or processors (body/energy) like the computer yea? hehe.... Neways, started my day early at Starbucks again. Planned my week (well, sorta.... :p) and did some reading. My sis got me this beautiful bookmark and I decided to use it on my daily planner :D Today's read: Examine your spiritual life..... chapter read: about spiritual growth. I love his cartoons... :D Then da bao chicken rice from 'Old Friends Cafe' and went to grandma's. She got some 'add on's from her neighbour too. It was a really heavy lunch :p Got Joanna to join us too. She bought some dragon fruit..... really really sweet :D After lu...

Started my rest day @ Starbucks today again. Read a book Jason lend me months ago :p Feeling a little 'slumber', I only read one chapter - that's on Martin Tang. I like reading stories behind successful people. I find reads like this inspiring. Martin is a very successful and recognized international producer in the chinese music industry. There were times when he had it all, and then he lose it all. From Martin's story, I realize no matter how deep down we fall, God can turn anyone's life around, as long as we are willing to let Him and never lose trust in Him. Lord, grant me a humble servant heart. Didn't do much for the rest of the day. and not quite productive today. A little sick. :( I long to feel energetic again.. There's so much to be done. I need motivation....! and I need....... strength. Till then, have a good week guys :) p/s: yiing babeh, I'm counting down days you come back ^^

跟妹妹用完午餐后，买了 puzzle 和 big apple donuts 去看阿婆。到了那里，我们一起吃donut,阿婆泡三合一咖啡给我喝。 过后一起聊天，听那些听过好多遍‘想当年’的故事。阿婆也分享她经历神的故事说：曾经很生气想送人两巴掌的时候，有声音对他说“你是信耶稣的！” 过后他火气就莫名其妙消失了。这就是所谓经历圣灵感动吧。还有说他是因为在外公病逝之前祷告蒙崔听所以开始了她真正对神的信心。我在阿婆身上看见单纯的信心，和神的信实和存在。 外面下大雨，我们在屋里却很温暖。短短两个小时，却过的得别慢。有时生活繁忙，能够把节奏慢下来，真舒服。 短短的下午，简简单单，平平淡淡，但很充实。 Flavours: Apple / White Choco & Almond (yum~!) 阿婆泡咖啡

Woke up early to work on some last minute crafts today so I can catch my 'postman' who's flying to KL this morning. Since I'm up early, I decided to spend my morning in Starbucks to get some [quiet but not too quiet, lone but not totally alone] time ^^ And so this was what I did - light breakfast, reading, thinking, refreshing, planning, online-ing, blogging, people watching, window staring, and of course, kepoci-ing with partners. Hehehe. While working most of the time in Starbucks, I hardly 'enjoy' the cafe myself. This is nice. I should plan this more often. The sky. I like cloudy days :) Curled up in the sofa, enjoying my read, occasionally sipping chamomile tea Other stuffs planned for the day: lunch with sister, buy doughnut and visit grandma, cook simple dinner, and..... for night time maybe some preparation for my CTA certification. Maybe will blog about the rest if I have time :p

Seriously down with migraine.... Urgh~! It got pretty bad last night and I had to leave early from work. After 7 months in Sbux, this is my first MC. However, I am thankful for it, as without it, I wouldn't have known how considerate my partners (Joyce, Esther and Jeremy) are, who offered to help me finish my closing tasks. It made me feel so warm. However, my day got better with Mummy's home made burgers. I don't have much appetite but it still taste pretty damn good :) I only took pictures when most of it is done already, so missed out the meat making process part. :p K nuff said, let the picture do the rest of the talking... :) Mummy slicing the bread Butter spreaded...... mmmm............ Pan fried a little...... ^^ The fillings :) Everything put together and whoalah~! yum yum yum Grandma: you want some? ^^ *chomp! chomp! chomp!* After only 15 minutes :p Then after just sat in the living room and relax. I like sitting next to grandma cuz I can hold her hand l...

Having some other schedules to run to, I couldnt spend much time with grandma today. However, still glad I manage to squeeze out some time for her. Went to her place for lunch and took her out to buy some stuff. I love grandma's home cooked food :) Got a busy week ahead, mainly because I agreed to help out in a praise worship workshop organized by Luzhou. After moving back to Miri, I've been reluctant to serve. But then, I remembered serving is an opportunity. It's not whether 'I want to' serve or not, it's whether 'God wants to' use me or not. Lord, please forgive me for my selfishness. So after time with grandma, got home for some last minute preparation on this....... I know I'm nobody and I don't have enough to offer. However, will try my best. Lord, you know I'm willing. Orait, so much for my quiet lone time today. Time to get into the crowd. Ready? LET'S GO!!

Rest day started noon again as I was closing the day before :p After brushing up and having 'breakfast', Mum and I accompanied grandma to choose a present for her grand daughter in law to be. It's a tradition in the chinese culture to give some kind of gold accessory during weddings. For the groom side, grandma want to choose a gift to present to her during the tea ceremony as a welcoming gesture. The present chosen is nothing trendy nor stylish but I think its sweet, and I think its thoughtful. Welcome to the family, Chris (in advance). We're looking forward :) And hope you'll like the gift Popo chose personally for you. Afterwards, we went jalan jalan and grab some snacks. Popo belanja me sweet corn ^^ And for dinner we went to Pete's deli to have some goooooodddd roastin' chicken, perfect mash, and some other wonderful western delicacies. Grandma's treat :)
