SHERA'S BORDER

These are some randoms that I find too precious to forget :) Random 1 (4th May 2010): Dad had tea with an ex partner (and friend) and found out this friend of his helps out with the needy in his church. Right after he come back from tea, dad arranged to get a few packs of rice to contribute to his ministry. It's not much but I think its the thought that counts. I thank God for such a generous dad :D Random 2 (5th May 2010): Mum prepared breakfast. Being an owl, its rare to see her get up so early to prepare breakfast. She prepared garlic toast with fried egg and mushroom. And of course, a cup of Nescafe to go with that. Perfect to get the morning started! :D Random 3 (7th May 2010): Got back home late today after closing to find this on the table. Sweetest thing - the note :) Stuff underneath? White carrot soup...... I loooovvveee soup..... and its still warm. Mum must have warmed it before she went to bed. And the stuff packed in the plastic? Beef burger~!! And this i...

虽然多人赞好，我一向都觉得自己弹琴很有问题，但却不知如何走出自己的圈圈。感谢神，在 SnL Worship Workshop 里，透过毅恒老师，让我看见自己很多缺点，也找到方向来改进。 本来是来帮忙的，最后得着比付出多。感谢神带领，听祷告。我求突破很多年了。但我知道我不够谦卑。求神帮助我，用恩赐来荣耀你，不是自己。 上图：第一次这样用两个keyboard弹琴。虽然只用了少过20%, 还是过瘾。我渴望更多。如果神你愿意给，我愿用更多来事奉你。Lord, make me a servant.

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!!

Mother's Day - the 3rd celebration after I've moved back to Miri ^^ I cherish spending time with my family a times of celebrations. I thank God over and over again for my family :) Our simple celebration started with chicken rice lunch @ "老朋友" (behind parkson). Grandma's treat again. Seriously, their chicken rice is AWESOME~! If any of you Mirians has never been there, I highly recommend you to check it out :D Then grandma treated AGAIN..... Big apple donuts.... YUM YUM YUM.... Back home, Jo started her baking - Pumpkin cake. As usual, all the women in the house, except me (i'm photographer ba :p), got involved. And the cake..... SUPER YUMMY~!!!! We all loved it ^^ Picture time~! :D (After giving them my cards and flowers) AArrhhhmmmm~!! Grandma loves her flowers ^^ (*satisfied*) I love this picture. Isn't she just the cutest? ^^

Today, on Mother's Day, grandma asked me and my sis what we are getting our mom. My sis said: "I'm baking cake!" and I said: "I'm making cards!" Hehehe. Stayed up late to do this last night. After many attempts and tissue wastage...... (thank goodness tissues are cheap) .... Managed to come out with these....... Nice right?.. (if you don't zoom in ^^) Thought of 2 partners and made some extra for them to give their moms. Not sure if they will use it or not. But nevermind la, just make only. Don't wanna waste my "感动" ("inspiration"? don't know how to call it exactly in english) And of course, handmade cards. Thanks to Marlene for lending me the stamps on such short notice. This is for grandma. Love this paper from Valerie. ^^ This is for mom. More vintage feel. And these are for the 2 partners :) Playing around with distress inks. Fun fun fun~! Oh wow, look at the time~!... I'm late for work!... will be b...

I worked opening shift today and got to get home early. And so I took the opportunity to cook dinner. As for dinner, I decided to cook something light and healthy - baked chicken and vegetables. When I told one of my partners at work today, he, being a culinary grad, suggested that I baked it with Mirepoix to give the chicken better texture. He got me really inspired~! ^^ And so I prepared the Mirepoix - 60% onions, 20% carrots and 20% celeries. Chopped and laid a layer on the baking pan. Chicken marinated with mixed herbs, soya sause, ground black pepper and olive oil. The chicken is added on top of the Mirepoix and set to baked under 220 degC for 15 minutes (turning after 8 minutes) While waiting for the chicken to bake. I prepared the vegetables. Expecting the corn and potato to take longer time to cook, I boiled them first to get them half cook. And the chicken almost done. I added in the vegetables on top of the chicken and bake for another 8-10 minutes. During the...

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 :)
