This trip has been extremly memorable for me... If I had to name the theme of the trip, I would call it -My Second Family.

The interactions I had with Chiwern's family this time round has been deeper than ever...It has also helped me to understand Chiwern even better, and has taught me to appreciate the goodness in him as well.. :)

I've always told Chiwern that he is so blessed to be born in a Christian family. I've been equally blessed to be his girlfriend and experience the warmth of the Lord through this family. At the end of each day, his parents would initiate a sharing session and we would all sit around and share a bit about ourselves. It was great fun! There were tears, and laughter. I even got to know more about his parent's dating experiences! *Too personal to be revealed here* ... But, I'm so glad that I was included in part of this family. i'm so glad to be prayed over every night...

I see how this Christian family operate and I pray that this will continue to flow from his parent's generation to our own family. I see how they interact with each other. I see how every child is protected by the Lord. I hear of stories of how auntie prays for everyone of them every night. i hear good news of God's provision for the family at the right time... and in my heart ... my prayer is that our family will be modelled after this...That the Lord God will always be head and leader of the household. Just Like Chiwern's.

In this trip, Mei Yih (Chiwern's sister) talked to me more and I'm able to connect with her on a deeper level. Not so awkward. :) I like. Mei Yih and I shared the hotel room and we watched TV to sleep! :) I'm so gonna miss her and the chat till we fall asleep! :) I told her that she's become such a lady already... Packs up, washes up without being instructed.. Like a perfect Proverbs 31 woman.. I really admire her.. She's very mature for her age..

DAY 1



Pic 1 - SO EXCITED! Arrived in Malaysia and took a picture in the bust as we usually would!
Pic 2 - Took a cab! But the hassle was such an experience! The bus dropped us off at Pudu Raya but the cabs over there wanted to charge us about $30 for us to cab to Chiwern's Godma's place! We walked on (While shopping!) and found a cab who would charge us by the meter! So cheap! it was $10 equivalent to singapore's $5!


Day 2





READY FOR SOME FUN!



PALACE OF THE GOLDEN HORSES!





He Cannot Contain His Excitement Upon Reaching the Hotel!







This is what i call the trolley of love....

When we went to the supermarket to shop...Chiwern started plucking of things the shelves that I like to eat, drink and use.... In my heart, I felt touched and loved... Like how he remembers the things I use...and the things I like to eat n drink :) 









Our Silly Pictures! :)

2 Corinthians 4:8-16 (The Message)
If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That's to prevent anyone from confusing God's incomparable power with us. As it is, there's not much chance of that. You know for yourselves that we're not much to look at. We've been surrounded and battered by troubles, but we're not demoralized; we're not sure what to do, but we know that God knows what to do; we've been spiritually terrorized, but God hasn't left our side; we've been thrown down, but we haven't broken. What they did to Jesus, they do to us—trial and torture, mockery and murder; what Jesus did among them, he does in us—he lives! Our lives are at constant risk for Jesus' sake, which makes Jesus' life all the more evident in us. While we're going through the worst, you're getting in on the best!

 We're not keeping this quiet, not on your life. Just like the psalmist who wrote, "I believed it, so I said it," we say what we believe. And what we believe is that the One who raised up the Master Jesus will just as certainly raise us up with you, alive. Every detail works to your advantage and to God's glory: more and more grace, more and more people, more and more praise!

So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever.

As the week passed, I felt more and more what the above verse said - not the coloured ones, but the little black words! Pressed, Battered, Terrorized and i FELT LIKE GIVING UP! SO MANY TIMES!!!! I don't even know how to detail down on that I am feeling. But, thank God for this verse, i feel much renewed now, and I am telling myself! DON'T GIVE UP! "THESE HARD TIMES ARE SMALL POTATOES COMPARED TO THE COMING GOOD TIMES!" Yes Lord, I proclaim this in my life and will not give up! :)

Will you then sing with me?
