*shame* shame*

Ok, i felt shameful about this. I couldn't imagine how i could mixed up Isaac's father and Jesus' father! Sigh...I told Kok Ming that Jesus' father is Abraham. I totally forgot about it. Oh man! Sangat memalukan lah!!!


I taught my Sunday School kids about Isaac. But I...I...I... sigh...
I think that's why God prompted me to teach the kids about Jesus this year. Hmmm... I think i really need to.


That shows how good is my bible knowledge. Kian Aun was wrong, he thought sunday school teacher's bible knowledge is always great! Well, I'm one of those poor and forgetful one.


*shame* Shame*

Kellie's Castle Prt. 2


This is the way to the guard house and the horse stable. See the orange colour thing? Hahaha...














I hope you can see what it is written there. It's a tunnel. People throw coins inside. Umm...I do not understand why they did that.









Not sure what is this hut for. No description also...






This is the river i mentioned before.











This is the wine cellar where they're planning to keep their wine. This room is very cooling. The room next to this is a bar.










There are a lot of holes like this on the wall. I like it so i took a picture of it. During those time, they did not have fan so all this holes are very important!












Not sure what is this called already! He planned to view the scenery from here. It's really high... very scary oh when we were standing u there!











This is another view.














I like this picture very much. It's not easy to take with the camera of my phone... i gotta squat very near to the ground then only manage to take this part of the building.






















simply...


















Yea, i like trees! I enjoy looking at trees with very nice shape? Do we describe it that way?








Well, i guess this is the end of this castle thing... Boring huh?!

Kellie's Castle

Here are some pictures about my New Year trip. Yes, your did not see it wrongly. I went to Kellie's Castle with Kok Ming. Hahaha... I knew many people felt that there are nothing. But i enjoyed the trip very much. I think it because I was with Kok Ming and we love buildings. That was our first time there. What a shame if we who are from Perak have not been to that place, right?

This is a tree with a bear on the trunk. It really looks like a grizzly bear.












We started from the ground floor. I took this picture from across the river.













This is the original house which this person called Kellie Smith stayed with his family. Did i get his name right? I hope so...











Kok Ming started taking photos. I purposely took this picture. haha..i just want to get him involve :p










see, He is taking another picture...













Is this picture nice?












He is walking. I do not think he knew that i was taking a picture of him. Maybe when he sees this he'll scold me :p










Simply...the "roof" of that yellow house.











Itchy hands! $*#*.@ %* it!











Another itchy hands!!!! Haiz...












I gotta go now. To be continued ya!

What are you Thinking?

I wonder what is in his mind. I wonder what kind of a person am I to him? I really wonder a lot of things. I couldn't find an answer. I'm having a lot of fears. I need to seek God again.

Alvin and the Chipmunks



Yeah, I finally brought Wan keen for this show! She enjoyed it very much and we( Wan Sian and I) enjoyed it too. The singing was just too "cun". I forgot that I always watched this during my childhood. I love Simon the most though Alvin is the main character. He is cute with his nerdy specs. I hope to watch it again, yes, again!


Check this out.

Here are some of the pictures


This is Theodore, he enjoys food. Yian, sounds like you lar :p













After drinking coffee, they became hyperactive! Hahaha...










They got their first Christmas presents!










Theodore always had nightmares...
















When they danced.
















I guess we are like the chipmunks. We look for satisfaction from the world. We hate rules being set, we misunderstand others, we want what we think is good, when we do not get it, we may think that it's not fair, this person doesn't love us enough etc.. Complains after complains.

I received an SMS before, it says,
" In life, God does not give you the people you want. Instead, He gives you the people you need to teach you, to hurt you and to love you. So that you'll be exactly how you should be!"



And in Romans 12:2, it says,
" Do not copy the behaviors and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.



God's plan is really good. The process is tough...and painful! I think i'm in the process. However, i felt like giving up! It's a waste if i give up now. i know...

Pride?

I really do not think that a person with low self- esteem is due to PRIDE! I really do not think so. Maybe there are some facts...But we need to see case to case. Not everyone with low self- esteem is because of PRIDE.

Aunt Cindy said," No. A person with no self-worth, no self- value and no self- esteem is due to inferiority complex. Pride is not the right word."

What say you?

*Aunt Maria said I have a good name. She said God gave me this name for a purpose. Except Shan, they all call me One Way! Hahaha...yeah, I'm quite proud of my name. The first people who gave me this name was Clarence and Vincent they all. That happened when we were still with the OA team.

Haha...Vincent always sang this song in the center. He influenced my sister as well. That day after work, once my sister got down from the car, she sang it. *crazy* =P

He is in my Mind, I'll never Forget !

This morning after the first 2 songs, uncle Jerry, for the first time after 6 years in church, he came up to give thanks to the Lord for the blessings that he had received. Hmmm...He prayed for his wife, his children and he said "not forgetting Alan". Yeah, I've been thinking of him lately. Every year I'll think of him, some how.

People maybe wondering how i got to know him. Yeah, definitely not from church. I was not a Christian yet. We got to know each other through a Chinese Society Gathering. He was one of the members or one of the committee members, I'm not really sure. It was held at his school. Hmm... I still remember they sang a Chinese song for us, as in the guests. After some games, they started the Autograph thing. That was the most frightening session for me. WHY? I know it's stupid but i was really frightened. It was a bit dramatic as well. READ ON>>>

I was surrounded by guys, many, many guys. I went with friends and they left me alone i am not sure why (during the autograph session), maybe they were busy writing autographs. The guys wanted my names and contact. However, i did not give 'coz i was lazy to write. I just penned down my name and wishes.

After that i remember, there was another guy came to me for the same thing. I do not know how i left with him my contact number and address. May be he specifically asked for it. And... that was Alan Tan Kien Leong!

I still remember Chinese New Year was around the corner, I was helping my mum to get things done. And at 12 midnight sharp, my house phone rang. I was very young then. People always frightened me with all the ghost stories. That was why i did not dare to answer the call. So i asked my mum to answer it. AND...who knows...

IT WAS FOR ME!

I was puzzled! With the frown, i really wondered who would call me at this hour. It was 00:00 sharp!

It was Alan! I'm not sure of the reason he called me. All I knew was we became friends. On and off he will call me after that first call. BUT, there was a few months he did not call me which i felt some thing was not right. I tried calling him b'coz i was worried. Then, i got to know he was in Australia. After he came back, he called me. AND THAT WAS THE LAST CALL.

I read from newspaper that this guy met with an accident, died on the spot. I saw his photo. But i was not very sure if it was him because we met once only. That time i started my part time job. And Celine was from his church. She mentioned to me about his death. I did not know it was him. After the second day i finally confirmed, it was HIM!!! I grieved for some time. I started joining the Sunday School trip to the zoo. Since then, i started going to church.

His death brought me to church indirectly. I'll never forget him. He was the most unique friend of mine!!! yeah, uncle Jerry, I'm sure he is very joyful in heaven now! I'm sure!!! We will see him there, sure we will!

Is this TRUE about me?
