Updates- Life, Church, Hillsong Conference 08...

It has been a whirlwind. The days are all blurred together, with work (fighting against angry traders - boo, really can't stand them), and travelling with Minghui and the Hillsong Conference 08.

Friends have been visiting me consecutively since end Aug somehow, and with Hillsong Conference clashing with Minghui's time here, I just feel so bad at not spending enough time with her showing her around London but yet I feel I need to attend the conference... simply because I am so down with work.

Work's really not great at the moment but am thankful for my supportive boss. Mere thought of it makes me depressed! haiz makes me appreciate traders back in Asia more, really. Loud, unreasonable, demanding... so on so on... URGH

Just back from Hillsong London Conference 08 at Excel. Honestly I was super sad when I realised that Hillsong changed Ps Prince's preaching schedule last minute and the tickets I got were not his sessions... he was to preach on that two days I was in Berlin. oh man can you imagine.. just felt so low but then deep down inside, I felt the prompting that any preacher can also minister to me, not only my own pastor. But then again, can you imagine the excitement of your own pastor coming to London and then I am not there. Anyways I attended the opening on Wednesday night and also Saturday's full day sessions. Honestly, I couldn't concentrate much coz I was just toooo tired. Back at 2am on Friday night and Sat 7.30am I had to reach Excel as I signed up to volunteer. Anyhow I was elated when I managed to steal some moments saying Hi to Ps Prince and other pastors from back home on saturday after the praise party. Familiar faces in the 5,000 strong crowd - YAY







I know Jesus loves me, coz today Ps Prince preached at Hillsong church two services! And, for the first time in my life, I attended two church services in one sunday. They were two different sermons so it was pretty cool. People had to queue up for the 5pm service which was crazy and it reminded me suddenly of sundays back home at Suntec City where we just have to queue to get a seat in the auditorium. *No, not missing this at all. Over here, it feels so good to walk into church on the dot as service starts and get a reasonable seat in the audi. This is seen as a luxury back home.*


So now, am very full in the spirit now :D
Shall be a wonderful week ahead with Jesus :)

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the...

Cooking mee pok dry | bak chor and fishball noodles

When I touched down at Changi airport a few weeks ago, I was very hungry and K suggested grabbing a quick bite at the food court.  I immediately went for the queue at the bak chor (minced pork) noodles stall.  This one dish is very local and we simply can't find it here.  London's Chinatown has a few Malaysian restaurants with fried kway teow, chicken rice, laksa, etc but there is no authentic fishball noodles or minced pork noodles. When my friend Corinne shared this link last week, I was intrigued and I didn't know K was too.  He suggested going to the Asian supermarket on Sunday to get the necessary ingredients.  We found Dodo fishballs from Singapore here - what a win!  Unfortunately the mee pok (yellow, flat noodles) is of a darker shade here and tastes slightly different (maybe a different type of wheat?).  We found fishcakes too. http://delishar.com/2015/12/fishball-noodles-mee-pok-tah.html This is a healthier version of the hawker center'...

Memories made at Danson Park

I can't believe I still have readers to this dormant blog!  Thank you for coming back again :) In case you didn't know, our little family of four actually flew back to the UK together for the first time last November.  For me, I've been back twice with Izzy, and poor Gabriel kept asking when could he go back to London.  Finally K said we should take the trip together and also drive around northern France, our fav area to visit.  Well fav, in that it is very easy to get to from the UK and we have really grown to like the more rural parts of Brittany. I grabbed the chance to contact Joanne, who took some photos of the kids previously.  In fact I think she has seen my kids grow up, from taking Christmas photos to family photos. We were pressed for time and I had to do some convincing for K to agree to do this shoot... looking at the photos, glad i insisted on doing it.  More to document kids growing up well.. and us growing old  I plan to blog more about ...
