BGT FINAL - Connie Talbot high quality video/sound / Tuesday, June 26, 2007
This sweetie caused me to cry my eyes out!!!
Another child turning the heads of the world. Connie won the judges hearts (in Bristist Got Talent recently) but children all over the world are winning the fathers heart when he hears them sing for him.
From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. Psalm 8:2

Troy's Story / Thursday, June 14, 2007
A random kid =)
Can't help...but i am so moved that i need to blog this down!
11am, time to leave DGPS after teaching CRE to 80 kids, and playing Rich List with them, today, we learnt about standing up for the truth, just as Elijah did, when he went back to see King Ahab. It was really good as the kids could retell last week's story in detail! Bravo to the kids!
Well, i'm ready to go off and get tiles for the office's kitchen, then when i'm just about to step out of the school grounds, a boy yelled out "Hello." I stopped on my tracks, and i turn and say "hi there." Immediately, his face fell, and i sense some dissapointment in him. I was going to walk away, then i felt a small voice saying "turn around", so i did stop dead on my track again, and turn around, walk towards the boy. I said to him, "did you think i was someone else?" He nodded "I thought it was mum." I smiled, and turn around, again it didn't feel right, once again i turned, kneel down, and gave him a high five and some misses. We excahnged some smiles.
"My name is Sonja, i teach the Grade 5 & 6 CRE" i said, and he replied "I'm Troy, and i'm in prep." To kick off the conversation, i ask him, "Have you taken your recess?" He said, "Yeah, dad packed me a juice." Cool, is freezing cold, and his dad packed this skinny kid a juice? Hmmm..."So, did mum packed you lunch?" I questioned. "No, she didn't, she doesn't stay with us anymore, and today she had to stay home to take care of my brother who is sick." I tried looking at the kids around the field, through the thick fog still hovering low, while trying to absord what Troy shared.
Well, at this point, my heart is already pouring with pain for this kid, i sat myself down on the grass and talk to him. I found out that his parents have spilt, and his mum is living with his brother (one year older) in their old house. He then told me how he is so sick of moving houses, because they have moved houses so many time, that he is so tired. 10 times he counted. Then later on in our conversation, he said he just had his tonsils taken out, and he open his mouth to show me, i nodded and made some approving sound, without really knowing what to look for ;p He then said, how when he had his tonsils taken out, he was too shy to come back to school, because he kinda forgot some stuff being away from school for so long. Well, in the next 5 minutes, he told about how he misses his old shoes, old house; what happened at the hospital; how he does not like stairs as they make him tired from climbing; how his brother have 6 toes on one foot when he was a kid, and had to be taken out, and was in lots of pain; how his dad pretended to be a doctor once; and how his dad have a dad too etc.... he was quite down about his brother and mother, and the poor boy is only 6 years old!
After a long chat, suddenly he turned to me, "Can i go now and play" he looked at me to seek for approval. "Of course", i said to him, "I'll be here every Friday at recess, so you can come see me here ok?" He smiled and said "Ok" We exchanged some 5's and he skipped off to his play.
My heart aches and cries for this boy as i was driving to Tile Mart, I suddenly seem to feel how his 6 year old heart would feel with all the things that are happening in his home. =( Lord, please help Troy to find comfort in you, and You, O Lord who is Mighty to Save, who can move mountains, and walk on water, please save Troy and his family, so that they will come to know you, and unite them together.
Jesus, thank you for Troy today

I cracked my laptop screen!!! / Tuesday, June 05, 2007
So embarrassing!!! I wasn't going mention about this...about to crawl into a hole and hide...but since Chris and Quent is going to be laughing about it, and talking about it in sermons, i might as well tell =(
Yes...Yes... i cracked my laptop screen...so can't be replace! Well, i had a rough morning, but it was a great 5 mins start...then after just went down hill... So after, i quickly pack up my laptop, as Sayang was about to pick me up for work, then i close my laptop screen. 'Clack' i heard, then i was thinking to myself...where did my wireless thumb drive went? Oh, well, couldn't be bothered, thought it was a bad morning, so things ought to go missing on me. Got to work, turn on my laptop, and realize that the only two things i could see on screen was 2 big black circles each with cracks on it. Errgghhh... I cracked my screen...and there lying on my keyboard was my silly wireless thumb drive! Frustrating!
The two black circles
You can't really see the cracks because of the reflection
This is the silly wireless thumb drive that cracked my screen!
Well... Chris and Tim is in search for a new laptop for me, and it's coming out of Chris's pastor's maintenance budget. I think i'm the only one who have used it this year...and the only one in history that have cracked their laptop screen. Quent and Tim, reckons it has to do with technology and girls...they just don't gel well together =( Have to get used to using the new vista next week. =(
I guess even as a pastor, we can have a rough morning too!!! We are still so human. Not exactly my kind of day.
This is Bryan's creation over the weekend...it's sort of a gift from him...can you spot the face of the robot? Pretty cool...

Almost there!!! / Sunday, June 03, 2007
Awww.... who could imagine how fun it is to make and design your own wedding gown, rather that buying off the rack or even hiring! It truly is a great experience. I'm loving it. Today, i went to look at my almost finish wedding gown with mum, and i'm so happy. It's so great to see the almost finish gown, coming really close to what you have envision for, about 90% what i wanted it to be. Well, the other 10% is something i wanted on my back, but could not have (can't tell you what it is yet, quent reads the blog, and he can't find out until wedding day), and also need to get a can-can to go under it, for a fuller skirt (which i need to get soon). I'm so happy...but not being too big-headed about it, i think i will look gorgeous in my dress =p hehehehe.. like a princess! Picking up my final product of the dress, along with the bridesmaids dresses and flower girl dress on the 28th of June!!! Yeah!!! So exciting! Can't stop grinning! p:s Yes, Jan, i will skatch you the dress and email it to you soon as promised =) Will get Lyn to bring you your dress
