My grandma just pass away this morning Malaysia time. My dad just called me after I went shopping with Sharon in indooropilly. I was really sad at first after hearing the news. The first picture that came through my mind was all the time when my grandma talk to me. Her smile, the way she called me everytime, ah loon, ah loon. Thinking back now, I'm was really rude to her sometimes by ignoring her chat with me. My grandma will always in my heart. She is a great women that carried on burden of 8 sons and 3 daugther. She is really a great grandma that taking care of her children well by saving alot. Imagine of all the spending for more than 10 people in the family. When I was young, my father will bring us back to grandma's house in east penang weekly. Everytime I sees her during breakfast, lunch or dinner, she will always eat on same thing, canned fish with black bean and white rice, thats all. And she pass away now aging 90+.
My grandma has been working hard and suffering in most of her lifetime. She and my grandpa both came from china. And I really missed her alot now even though I hardly chat with her since I came to Australia. Things happen so unexpectedly. We will never know what will happen next minute in our life. Life really precious, but people around you are most precious. They are there not by coincidence, not by chances. They are placed around you for a purpose. And sometime we ignore it until that very person leaves us, then only we realise how important is it that person for us.
At my young age, I always think of when I've grown up, I will repay and honour my elders and people who take care of me. But one by one, they left their earthly life. My eldest aunty and uncle, who took care of me since I'm few months old, and now my grandma, who is one of the elder I respect the most. Time passes very fast, and it doesn't stop to wait for you.
Father Lord, I pray for my loved ones, for my elderly who had left, may You forgive them Father. I know those who didn't declare You as Lord their God will have no space in heaven, but I sincerely pray Father, for they didn't choose not to believe in You, but they doesn't have the change to knowing Gospel. Father, I pray for them, I ask for Your forgiveness on their sins, just as Jesus forgive us. Give them a chance to know You Lord God, as it is one of Your desire to get Your people, Your creation close to You. Father, please forgive them, let them know more about You. Accept them Father into Your wonderful kingdom. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Communion Prayer
Communion is the time where we remember Jesus came down to earth from His throne to die for us. But Jesus not only die for us, but also suffer for us. As I preparing what to share, I got this vision where there's this criminal that was sentenced to death penalty. On that itself, he told the officer gunner "Please aim at my heart, I want to die instantly without pain". (For those who don't know, shot at stomach suffer the most cause it takes the longest to die).
When Jesus came down to earth, He knew that He is gonna die for us. But not just that, He even have to suffer for us. Imagine you know you gonna die with suffering over hours and hours. The blade slash, the pain, the sacrifice, the determination to complete God's will. Will you have the courage, the perseverance, the determination to complete it? None of us will. None of us will understand the pain Jesus had to gone through.
Brother and sister, let us have the rememberence of Jesus in deeper way, not only to remember He was once came down to earth and die, but also suffering, tremendous sufferring that beyond our human understanding in order to save us, free us, to get us close to God.
"Father Lord, thank you for everything that You have provide us. Thank you for sending Jesus down to save us, to have us closer to You. Father, we will never ever understand the pain and suffering that Jesus had gone through. Lord, we acknowledge the great work that Jesus had done for us, and we will always follow Your teaching, Your will. And we will each day try to get closer to You, to understand more of Your words. Thank you Father Lord once again for all the great love that You have showed us all through Jesus. Thank you. In Jesus name we pray, AMEN!"

Oceanie Convention 2008
Oceania convention 2008
I'm really glad i attended this year's convention because me and sharon were struggling on whether we should attend this year or not.(Money is always an issue). 180AUD with no accommodation is no fun, at least thats what we thought as previous year all convention is held like camp style.
3 days 3 nights of praise and worship is really great, but tiring. I woke up 6:00am in the morning just because of excitement and can't wait to go there. The enviroment is so different and so encouraging. Somehow I find myself more open in worshipping GOD when there's more ppl compare to just normal Sunday service. Maybe because of my shyness and inner personality. We get to know more people in our life group especially NeeKee and Stephenie. Surprisingly, I'm able to chat more than I usually do. Still I prefer to be transperent. We are getting older day by day, whether you like it or not but if we remain youthful heart inside us, no matter how old we get, we still can be young inside. And believe me, being young inside is hard.
During the convention, I learnt alot of stuff. What is the purpose of us living now? Are we to remain what we are today until the end? Or are we to be lived a significant life? Are we to be someone different from what we are today? Life is really boring, YES! BORING! You woke up in the morning, go to work, come back at 6pm. Dinner, hang out then sleep. Thats the life. Sometimes I really admire those who persuade their dreams, their hobbies, their interest. So, brothers and sisters, START CHANGING YOURSELF TODAY! Be somebody, don't be nobody. If you lived significantly, you will have no regrets at all if you were to die now. You will say nothing about regret on what you missed out, what you still want to do, what you didn't do during your life time. We only have 1 life, 1 short life, and you will never know when is the end. Appreciate what you have around you. And treasure every minutes that is passing by. Time never waits or stops.
I missed my parents alot. I missed all my friends in KL, Penang, Singapore. Life really hard, at one point you need to appreciated what you have around you, at another point, you are bound to what sociaty are builds on now and what you need to survive, which is MONEY! I guess there's always no balance among these 2.
On the 2nd last day in convention, I have these vision on CDS ministry that grows internationally in years to come. Education is part of growing, even when we are young, we start our life with education. Learning never stops. I really pray that I'm able to contribute in this area. I really pray that I'm able to extend my knowledge in this ministry. But let it all up to GOD. Thank GOD for all these.
Btw, I met with some of my old friends from Hope Waverly Melb, Weng Kong, Olivia and Yuki and I'm really glad they still remember me. Next year's convention will be in Philip Island with much more fun, and cost more too. So, LET START SAVING MONEY NOW!

Something nice
Hillsongs - One Desire
You gave it all for me
My soul desire, my everything
And all I am is devoted to You
How could I fail to see
You are the love that rescued me
And all I am is devoted to You
And oh, how could I not be moved
Lord here with You
So have Your way in me
Cause Lord, there is just one thing
That I will seek
This is my cry
My one desire
Is to be where You are, Lord
Now and forever
It's more than a song
My one desire
Is to be with You
Is to be with You, Jesus
You gave it all for me
My soul desire, my everything
And all I am is devoted to You
How could I fail to see
You are the love that rescued me
And all I am is devoted to You
And oh, how could I not be moved
Lord here with You
So have Your way in me
Cause Lord, there is just one thing
That I will seek
This is my cry
My one desire
Is to be where You are, Lord
Now and forever
It's more than a song
My one desire
Is to be with You
Is to be with You, Jesus
