~Lemon No Koro~
A touching movie cast around students from a rural school in japan. Lemon no koro is subtle yet moving at the same time, bringing to light the significance and intensity of actions and objects that are simple yet full of life. Tuesday, June 24, 2008
A fine week
Today was such a fine day it made me want to take random pictures. My dog, Billy, the cutest dog on earth, went for a hair cut today. Doesn't he look the cutest? And no.. he's not from men in black. haha. though he does talk sometimes. My dog is really spoiled. A brat! Unlike other dogs who munch on their food like hungry animals, my dog is refined. He's fed. By me. On the sofa. All he does is sniff his food, and look away. haha. Sometimes, I have to add some dried chicken jerkey or fish on top of his daily meal, like sprinkles on a cupcake, to make him eat. sigh. what a dog.
Mom and I have been busy making fruit cakes and brownies for a wedding this saturday morning. About 500 boxes in total! And we're still now done. 100 more to go! Here's a snapshot of the brownies we made:
Last sunday, Justina, a girl who went to CUHK for exchange the semester before I did, came to visit barker! We had lunch with tatt at fareast after sunday school. I think God planned it such that we would meet! I heard from my room mate in hong kong, Emily, about Justina, and how much fun they had together. She's from NUS and a Christian too! And she used to come to barker. Haha. how cool is that!

Hallelujah
When a father gives good gifts to his children, you'd know he is a good father.
The NUS system requires us to get approval for modules we intend to take on exchange, and I did, for all the modules i took in CUHK. However, just yesterday, the admin officer emailed me saying that one of the modules (a major module), was not approved! She even showed me the scanned form with the signature on the rejection column.
It was really unfair because they did not inform me about this rejection. If I knew that it was not approved at the beginning, i would not have taken it on exchange, furthermore, it made me worry because i'd have to repeat that module this coming semester. What's more, it's a year 2 module, and i'm already in year 3. Sigh. I was anxious and very angry because I was at a lost of what to do. The only thing i did was to email the department coordinator, who said that she'd help me check with the previous coordinator (who signed the form).
On the trip to the fish market, i kept thinking and worrying. Worried about the number of core modules I'd have to take next semester. Thinking about what to do with the module I took on SEP.
Then Mom reminded me of God's goodness. God is a good God, He'll look after my every need. The music from the car sang "hallelujah" and I realised that the battle was already won, because God is with me, I need not have to worry about anything. He is a father who gives good gifts. He will not leave me in the dumps. So, at that moment, i stopped worrying.
Then, just now, the department coordinator emailed me, saying that the module which was rejected at the start is now accepted as a special case for me. Hallelujah! :)

Wantons of God's goodness
My aunt came over to make wantons with us today :)
Here a bowl of a day's hard work plus some nice fragrant "猪油渣" or pork lard as you would call it. Yummy! We spoke about how we became Christians over dinner. Everytime my parents tell our testimony, there's always a certain excitement and freshness to it. It doesn't get boring. God is so good! I'm really so glad that God saved our family. If it wasn't for Him, this family would not have lived to see this day.

Splash!!
Went for PAH - Paint A Home today! Despite having to step on wet paint and getting newspaper stuck all over you feet, it was quite an enjoyable experience.. especially the smell of paint.. mwahaha.. just kidding. I'm not a paint-smell-addict.
Started off with white washing.. then measured out the half way mark, then painted one half pink, stencilled flowers on the walls, painted flowers, painted doors and gate... Fun eh?
We were in-charged of the corridor
The walls with stencilling done
Painting the doors with oil paint! so sticky!
And this gate.
The children's home!
Wai (who introduced me to this) and I! I accidentally painted on her hair.. oops..
