what are the things that you can do, when it is a sweltering 43degrees outside?

1. Cook some piping hot dumplings, eat it, and sweat it out.
2. Frantically look around the house for some extra fans that you can pull out, together with the duct cooling.
3. Do some laundry- i bet your clothes will be crisp and dry in 15 min time, spare the ironing.
4. Turn on the teevee (like now) and watch Serena W and Elena D. in action for the semis in aust open! woohooo.
5. As we watch, dig into the freezer and find some ice cream cones (if any left) and savour it.

i think that's quite a bit to do already, in a sweltering 43 degree summer.

gong xi gong xi!!

we made some chinese dumplings- i reckon there were at least 200 of em, and ate them to celebrate chinese new year's eve. it was really an interesting affair, with colombians helping to wrap the dumplings in their style! and i made some cool curry puff styles too.. pats on my back. HAHA. but lorena said they looked ugly. o well, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

it's been an eventful week. praise God for His wonderful blessings, and i was deeply blessed with a casual instructor job at a disability centre very much. praise God for His wonderful timing. though work was challenging, and physically exhausting, i trust that the Lord will guide me through what He has brought me to.

i am thankful that before i started work, i had a pretty relaxing time, watching the awesome australian open. it's one big thing that i really look forward to! it's prolly of my bestest relaxation and enjoyment!

and i cant help to grin like a cheshire cat when federer turned the tables around and won his match todayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

anyway, i am indeed grateful for what He has done in my life through this year. i would think i shed much tears, but i did reap much with joy too in little ways, in many little aspects of my life. i saw the power of prayer, intercession for ppl you know are on the brink of giving up; i saw the power of prayer for His providence in lives of people. and the list goes on.

alright, happy moo year. :) i shall enjoy it with watching some good tennis. :)

merry 2009 and happy christmas!

08 was a year of un-expected surprises (or even shocks). :)

praise God for the eventful year, i bet i will have many stories to tell my grandchildren in future just cos of 08 alone. :)

just in case you guys think i have forgotten all back home, be assured i am very much still thinking about all of you!

09, i hope you will be a year filled with great love, grace, and mercy once more, and you will be a year that many breakthroughs are witnessed. in God's grace and name, amen.
