Looking back at all the blog entries and photos I shared, God truly poured down His blessings in my life, countless blessings. I am really blessed and loved!!!

Thank you all for visiting blessings throuout the years. Thank you all for all the sweet & fun memories we shared. Thank you all for your comments of encouragement and some of your comments just made my blog more interesting. I know some people want to read my comments more than my blog entries!!! =P

All I ate today were two yogurts, one strawberry and one peach. Two cups of orange/pinapple juce, and one cup of grape juice. Also with three cups of water i think and one gummy candy, plus my chinese herb medicine.

I want to try apple sauce or mashed potato tomorrow....or porridge皮蛋瘦肉粥...so hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =(

我問神,"為什麼一定要這樣?"
祂說,"如過這樣可以使更多的人得到十字架的救恩,這樣妳覺得值得嗎?"
我說,"值得,當然值得..."

我問神,"為什麼生命裏有這麼多的破碎?"
祂說,"這些破碎是不是使妳更完全?"
祂說,"這些破碎是不是更煉淨妳的生命?"
祂說,"這些破碎是不是使妳更依靠我?"
是的.....若沒經過這些,我是不會學習完全仰望祢....

真的,當我將眼光放在神身上的時候
我就不會再埋怨和懷疑....

2006-08-12T02:01:00.000-07:00

總是覺得耶穌犧牲在十架上的愛很偉大
知道耶穌的寶血為我而流,這是何等寶貴
但卻從來沒好好想過耶穌被釘十字架的痛

我在想,我拔了兩顆牙齒就覺得好痛苦喔~

而且我有打麻藥才拔的

而且我還有止痛藥可以吃

想到釘子直接釘在耶穌的手上和腳上

懸掛在十架上

這種無法想像的痛...就是為了我

更多一點的體會到神寶貴的愛.....

是的,耶穌祢真的真的真的好愛我.....

2006-08-12T01:42:00.000-07:00

昨天到今天我都沒有接我的手機,因為我幾乎還不能說話,也說不清楚....
所有打電話給我的人....真是非常的抱歉!!!

拔智齒真的是很辛苦,但是至少一下子瘦了很多磅!
從昨天晚餐到現在幾乎是沒吃,吃了幾條的烏龍麵和幾口的冰淇淋
超級怕食物掉到傷口裡面....好餓喔!!!!餓到爆了....
如果好了我要開始狂吃!!! (想著濤濤請客的情景...更餓!)

這次牙醫生開給我的止痛藥藥效很強
吞下去五分鐘就會開始頭暈
我得馬上倒在床上,超級不舒服的,接著就會昏睡過去
等到藥效快沒了,自己就會醒來
醒來呢,就是換咬在嘴巴裏的紗布,然後再吞一顆藥
就這樣,昨天晚上到今天的活動就是這樣.....
我也分不清楚早上和晚上,反正就是睡,醒,痛,昏,睡.....

感謝主,有好多次我都覺得自己快撐不下去
可是今天的一句話又幫助了我喔~
"耶和華我的神阿!我曾呼求祢,祢醫治了我"
"O Lord my God, I called to Your for help and You healed me."

"寶貴十架"這片CD從昨天晚上倒今天就這樣不停的放著
應該整片CD有聽過超過十幾遍了吧!!
這些詩歌可以在我頭暈和不舒服的時候給我力量....
這些詩歌可以在我傷口很痛的時候,更體會神為我在十架上的愛....
這些詩歌可以成為我對神的禱告,可以成為神對我的激勵.....

2006-08-10T20:23:00.000-07:00

I just got my two wisdom teeth pulled.
That's why I didn't answer my cell phone. Can't talk at all....

講到拔智齒,我想這是我目前為止最怕的一件事
上次拔右邊的兩顆是去年七月
可是那種痛苦真的把我給嚇到了...
就這樣給我拖拖拖....竟然拖了一年
可是最近發現要再不拔會更慘,而且其他整齊的牙齒可能會被排擠變形

當然,今天拔牙的故事有點小連接到昨天晚上聽到的分享
Beena說她每天早上靈修的時候都會向神要一句話
這一句話不但可以成為那一天神對她的應許,也能幫助她記住神的話
其實這是更之前傑克跟大家分享的(可是那時只是聽聽而已....)
因為要早上靈修對我真的太難了啦!我只能晚上...
七點就要起床,如果要早晨靈修不就六點多就要起來...
當然也可以把神晚上給的話語留到隔天用...哈哈哈..可是感覺不新鮮阿! =)

不過今天早上出門前趕快看一下今天的詩篇
馬上抓住一句話我就趕緊出門上班去....
說也奇怪,這句話竟然中文英文的給深深印在腦海裏(其實也不是太難背啦!)
"耶和華賜力量給祂的百姓,耶和華賜平安的福給祂的百姓"
"The Lord gives strength to His people.
The Lord blesses His people with peace."
從早上出門到現在這個時刻,就是這句神的話語陪著我~

超級奇妙的....本來我也沒預約要拔牙齒
可是中午突然想到就鼓起勇氣打電話去牙科
剛好唯一有的時間是今天五點,不然又要等到兩個禮拜過後了....
想到再來的幾個禮拜應該都有活動,還是今天去吧!

我真的是禱告再禱告,宣告再宣告
The Lord gives strength to me, more strength, extra strength!!!
The Lord blesses me with peace, great peace, true peace!!!!
感謝耶穌的promise!!!一切過程都很順利
好玩的是,醫生快要拔牙的時候問我,"會不會痛?"
我搖搖頭,結果醫生說,"可是我的手很痛....."
超好笑的,我竟然咬住醫生的手....我那時覺得超爆笑的
謝謝耶穌為我預備一個很好的醫生 =)

這篇可能有點長,但是因為不能講話所以只好用寫的~
感謝神讓傑克上次的分享感動Beena
感謝神讓Beena的分享感動我
感謝神,希望我在這裡的分享可以感動正在讀我blog的你....
神的話句句都帶著能力,神的一句話就能帶來醫治
希望神每天賜給我們一句話,成為我們每天的力量!!! =)

The Beauty of God's Creation

2006-08-09T23:18:00.000-07:00

When I look around, it is sadness, frustration & disappointment.
Yes, I need to look up.
When I look up and fix my eyes on Jesus, I can see the beauty of God, His faithfulness, His amazing grace & His promises...

It seems like I overlook God's smiling face... =)

I am a friend of God.
He calls me friend.
Who am I that You are mindful of me?

Good night & thank you for the free-trial pillow!!! ^__^

最近這幾天身體不是很舒服,再加上有一些煩人的事情
再加上每天工作真的是又忙又累......這種感覺真的是糟透了...

今天下班去看了中醫,我的韓國同事也跟著我去了
好像從來沒去過中醫的診所
一進去,超強的中藥味...
天阿...超怕那種味道的,但還好一下就習慣了
真的是很很很很很,超級佩服這位中醫生
我都還沒開口說我為什麼要來
醫生把了把脈,就可以把我的病情說出來,而且很準呢!

看完我之後就是幫我韓國同事把脈
超級難翻譯的,因為醫生只會一點點英文
還講到"大長金"呢...超好笑的~
最後還說到"本末倒置"這句成語的意義...
真是考倒我了,我怎麼知道英文是什麼!?!?!

最後醫生給我們開藥...
接下來的六天我要喝這種黑黑臭臭的藥藥.....這是解藥嗎?!?!
神阿...幫助我!!!

2006-08-06T21:44:00.000-07:00

最近我們家Brownie回家了
對於養寵物,我真的沒什麼興趣...
不只是狗狗,就連其他的寵物我都覺得我只能欣賞牠們的可愛
要養寵物我覺得是一個很大的責任,就像養小孩一樣....
需要照顧牠們的飲食,整理牠們的大小便,要幫牠們洗澡美容
最重要的還要spend quality time和寵物們培養感情...

由於我們家的布朗尼大小便沒受過訓練
所以對於臭臭的味道我真的是忍無可忍
我真的很想送走牠.....
所以今天下午就很冷血的想趕走布朗尼
但是爸爸說布朗尼不在的時候會想牠呢!
我說那就看照片就好了!!!
爸爸又說...那你以後都看男朋友的照片就好了!!
真的是....弄得我無話可說....

我不是那麼沒人情味啦....
我知道牠很可愛,可是...可是...
總之~我以後不會養寵物的知道嗎!?!?!?!

Two beautiful baby girls have arrived!!!

2006-08-06T18:28:00.000-07:00

Do all the hospitals use the same sheets to wrap newborn babies?? =)

2006-08-05T23:49:00.000-07:00

今天很無聊...
哪裡也不想去,也沒什麼地方可以去
想好好休息,卻又不喜歡這種一個人的感覺
我覺得我是不能獨居的動物...
就這樣的,過了我的星期六~

2006-08-05T15:09:00.000-07:00

Went to Irvine Specturm with Sherry last night and both of us fell in love with this super softest blankets and pillows at Brookstone! We always stop by Brookstone every time we go shopping together. Last night, we stood in front of those most touchable blankets debating if we should get it...hahaha~ That was funny cuz' even the sales noticed that and came to tell us that we should get it. =P It's kind of pricy for a small blanket & pillow....and we didn't buy it~

Can't really sleep well these days...looking for a new pillow. any ideas???

2006-08-05T13:42:00.000-07:00

剛剛看完牙齒回來
終於,把那顆有洞的牙齒補好了!!!
這次是一個蠻年輕的醫生
因為本來的牙科醫生去世了,所以這個好像是來接替的....
這種感覺很奇怪,坐在椅子上等了很久
可能對這個醫生來說,所有的病人都是新的
等著等著....醫生終於來了
看了我的病歷表看了一陣子,開始和助手討論了起來
這時感覺更怪,好像他們不知道要做什麼一樣
我還懷疑他們有沒有拿對病歷表....
感謝主,這個醫生說不用打麻藥就可以補了
(這時倒開始懷疑之前那位醫生...因為他本來說是要打麻針的)
終於,把那個洞洞補起來了!!!
肚子好餓喔~再等一下應該就可以吃東西了!!!!!!

Happy Friday!!

Haven't gotten the chance to blog much lately...
Lillian just told me that she got promoted to senior associate at her company!!Great news to start my day!! Congratulations dear~ (I think she is the happiest bride-to-be heeheee ^__^)
Wenko also got promoted couple weeks ago and sleepingbeauty got a raise too! Tao also got his first paycheck!!! Thank our heavenly Father for all the blessings He has given to my brothers and sisters! =)

Got the chance to see Janice & Will for one day this week. They drove all the way from SF for Will's grandma's 80th big birthday. It was a very interesting experience to join the birthday dinner. It was like their famly reunion and I am part of the 親家. I like Will's grandpa! He is in his 80s but he is very healthy, funny and loves to joke around with those grandkids.

Janice is sooo sweet, she gave me this special 2006 calendar..eh..i know it's already August 2006!!! It is designed by one of her favorite designer/artist, Lotta Jansdotter. I don't know where to hang it so I put it on the side of my closet. =)

Another surprise this week!! It's yellow roses in a planter. Yellow roses indicate strong feelings of pure joy, gladness, happiness and friendship. It's a very sweet feeling to get surprise like this.

Happy One Year Anniversary

2006-07-31T00:00:00.000-07:00

July 31, 2005.
My dearest sister got married. The first one in the family. It was a lovely wedding and filled with all the blessings from our heavenly father, families and friends. I am really thankful that their marriage is full of the joy & grace of God. They are a merry married couple!! Thanks Will for taking really good care of Janice...you two are always in my prayers.
Happy One Year Anniversary my dearest Will & Janice~
May God continue to pour His love & blessings into your marriage!
要緊緊的握住彼此的手喔～

不知道為什麼每次看Judy的blog都很不容易
電腦都會變得超級的慢,不然就是電腦會不合作....
可是Judy的文章都很激勵人喔~
Judy在最近的一篇blog中寫到她的寶貝女兒小乖看爸爸媽媽整理東西很辛苦
就請媽媽倒一杯水,不只是她自己要喝,還要給爸爸喝一口給媽媽喝一口
雖然根本沒看過Judy他們一家人,可是從照片看多了感覺好像認識一樣....

這一起喝一杯水似乎是很平常簡單的事卻在我腦海裏浮上一幅很美的畫面

Judy寫著....
"朋友們... 珍惜你們身邊的人... 尤其是能跟你共飲一杯水的人! 這是一種幸福呢!"
真的,現在擁有這種幸福的人真的要好好珍惜喔~

Draw Near To Me
Scott Brenner

Draw near to me, let me know Your touch
Let me hear Your voice in the morning
Make me like You, holy and pure
Speak to me Your word in the morning
When I rise, I will think of You, I will speak Your name
Resting in the blessing of Your love
When I call, draw near to me, Lord, cover me with the blessing
Of Your never-ending love, Your never ending love

Draw near to me, break my heart again
To turn away from sin every morning
Set me apart to live my life for You
To do what You command every morning
When I rise, give me eyes to see Your holiness surrounding me
Leading me to walk in Your ways
When I call, give me ears to hear Your gentle voice
Guiding me to trust and obey, to trust and obey

Wednesday Night

2006-07-26T23:54:00.000-07:00

We had a great prayer meeting tonight at SOP. I think I really learn a lot from prayer meetings like this. Learning to pray like a prayer warrior, to build on each other's prayers, to proclaim the victory over the enemies with conviction and the authority of God, to give thanks to God for what He has done, to praise Him for who He is, and to bless others with my prayers.

Once again I am reminded of the power of prayers. It's the authority and power God has given to me to call upon His name.

We also celebrated birthdays for our four lovely sisters!
2 Sherry(s) & 2 Ivy(s)

Group picture Take One (Waiting for four cameras to get ready...)

Group picture Take Two (two people are missing...)

Group picture Take Three (Wendy made it...but still missing one)

Group picture Take Four (finally we are all in the picture!!!!!)

Birthday girls cutting the cake! yum yum!

Monday Night Family Dinner~

2006-07-25T00:28:00.000-07:00

Monday night是我們蕭家的family night
今天晚上的飯局是在Black Angus
很久沒去那裡吃過了,這次是全家和張爺爺田奶奶一起去的
來張大合照...服務生幫我們照的!

張爺爺和田奶奶非常疼愛我的牧師爸爸和媽媽~
非常的尊敬牧師...像是搶著付賬,決不讓牧師付錢,這次真的是用"搶的"....
還有一定堅持目送牧師上車自己才上車
明明他們是長輩的....

Our appetizer: Sampler Platter

Half pound cut Prime Rib with homemade garlic mashed potatoes~
Me & Pinkybaby

This week is going to be different, maybe a little tough. No more free afternoons to relax or nap. Can't bear the heat...Summer summer summer...There are always a lot of changes in people's lives during the summer. A lot of summer memories came to my mind today. Trip to Hawaii, houseboat trip at Lake Powell, trip to Napa Valley & San Francisco, Janice & Will's wedding (Thank God they got married last year, not this year! Can't stand the heat!!!)...yeah, I think I missed the trip to Yellowstone two years ago but I couldn't remember why I didn't go. This summer seems a little too simple and too ordinary....

God gives me a second chance...

2006-07-24T00:59:00.000-07:00

看到妳憔悴的樣子和流不完的眼淚,我的心很痛也跟著妳流淚
我覺得很內疚,也覺得自己不是一個好的朋友
我,沒有做到一個朋友該做的....我是這樣的覺得

不要讓別人的錯誤來折磨自己
我無法完全體會妳的感受,但是妳的眼淚已經足以說明妳的傷痛

妳知道嗎?!神靠近傷心的人...我也相信祂不會放下妳不管的

我會為妳禱告,因為我深信神是會垂聽我們呼求的神

祂是我們"急難中隨時的幫助"~

而且祂是用笑臉幫助我們的...溫柔的微笑,安慰的微笑

晚上,妳一定覺得妳又再一次得掉進絕望的井底....痛到妳失去了知覺

別忘了,隨時需要我都在這裡,這是我唯一能做的

Put your HOPE in God!

對我,今天像是神給我的第二次機會
祂在提醒我....提醒我很多事情

提醒我知道誰需要關心的時候,我一定要馬上付諸行動

為什麼要等呢?!

或許那個人正處在絕望的邊緣....

或許那個人只需要一雙聆聽的耳朵....

或許那個人只需要一個安慰的擁抱....

或許那個人....只需要耶穌的愛....

NiNi是我看過最會灑嬌的小女孩
有夠可愛的,每次她都會像無尾熊一樣黏著不放
不然就是頭會歪歪的露出甜甜的微笑
沒事還會跑過來嘟著嘴一付"我很可愛,我要抱抱"的表情
而且,很喜歡找我爸抱她,叫"牧師"的時候"師"還會嘴巴嘟嘟的....
這張NiNi表情太酷了...再照一張!

這張好多了~每次都照完才笑....

來張專業的自拍照~(一手抱小孩一手拿相機難怪臉看起來那麼胖....)

今天晚上是爸爸媽媽的新生命小組的家庭聚會,感覺很熱鬧喔~

這次除了上次在我blog上已經介紹過的三位小朋友(包括NiNi)
這次還有特別來賓"耀揚"
這是Linda阿姨特別照顧的小孩,因為他是有特別需要的小孩
出生的時候因為器官上的不健全,使得耀揚不能用嘴巴進食,呼吸也很困難
Linda阿姨很愛他,雖然照顧他的時候都心驚膽跳,但卻每次都用禱告托住這個孩子
上次看到耀揚好像是去年聖誕節那時候,今天看到的他已經長大了喔!
是一個非常可愛的孩子,感謝神的恩典~似乎不像以前那樣脆弱
跟他同年紀的孩子已經都可以跑來跑去了,但是耀揚還沒辦法自己坐起來
他的肚子上還插個胃管,所以抱他的時候肚子會凸出一個東西

我今天晚上第一次看到耀揚喝牛奶,是有一個像針筒的東西接到胃管
牛奶就倒進針筒然後直接從胃管到胃裡面
這種心疼的感覺是言語無法形容....而且又想到自己這麼愛吃....
親愛的耶穌,懇求祢醫治可愛的耀揚!!
我相信耶穌醫治的大能一定能醫治耀揚的身體!!
覺得我的右手很奇怪是吧...
Linda阿姨請我遮住她的手臂啦~

這張照片特別給TaTa看,好像只有TaTa,我和pinkybaby看過耀揚~
請大家特別為我們的小耀揚代禱加油喔!

Yeh! I finished reading this book
"Men Are Like Waffles-Women Are Like Spaghetti."

This is a book that talks about the differences between men and women and helps you to achieve a more satisfying romantic relationship. It covers many areas of relationships like how couples communicate, how couples express their emotions, how couples solve conflicts...etc. It's very enjoyable and humorous and also with biblical insights and funny stories.

There are some interesting quotes from the book.
"I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always."
"A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man."
"A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does."

Amazing grace. Amazing savior. Amazing love. Part One

Today is indeed an amazing day for me!! It all started with a text message, "Have fun at work today! I have a feeling today is going to be a great day!" This sweet morning blessing truly made my day!!
When I came home from work this afternoon, there was a package waiting for me by the door. What a surprise!! WOW~ I was so excited and couldn't wait to open it. Guess what's in there???!!!

Mini roses in a wooden planter!!

Even though it is packaged in the box, it still looks fresh and beautiful!

very delicate & elegant...

to be continued....

Amazing grace. Amazing savior. Amazing love. Part Two

今天是充滿神恩典的一天
是一個突破,一個新的領受,一個新的看見...
我只能說將一切的榮耀歸給深愛我的主耶穌~

今天晚上是SOP summer的prayer meeting
感謝神給我這個機會服事祂
這是我第一次帶敬拜......
雖然Prayer meeting的人不多,加上大人都去Asia tour了...沒什麼好怕的! j/k =P
但對我來說這是一個很大的挑戰
上個禮拜五知道要帶敬拜的時候,就開始準備,想說要唱什麼歌
一開始腦子一片空白
但是那時只有一個意念,就是想單單的來到神面前,告訴祂"我愛祂"~
選了"常常喜樂" "最深愛的主" & "一生愛祢"
後面兩首歌都是在向主耶穌說"愛祢!!"
很奇妙的,今天照著進度表讀聖經的時候,第一句就是"耶和華我的力量阿!我愛祢!"
短短的一句話就是我最需要的~真的很amazing!
我們或許覺得神很愛我們,很看顧我們
但時間一久,我們對神的渴慕和熱情就慢慢的不像以前一樣
也或許我們很愛神,卻很少來到祂的面前告訴祂我們有多愛祂~
神提醒我,是祂先愛了我,而我的心也要再次向祂說:"我愛祢!"

今天下午開車的路上,我向神禱告,求祂幫助我給我力量,讓我的心不懼怕
神告訴我祂是用笑臉幫助我的!!
晚上禱告的時候,Wendy也是用同樣的話語...聽到的時候心裏也微笑了一下
神阿!祢真的是信實的神,祢真的是用笑臉幫助我的~
感謝神賜我一顆剛強壯膽的心!!
晚上的敬拜我覺得很sweet~ 神的同在真的很甜美~Glory to God!

今天我買了SOP最新的兩張CD還有songbook喔!!!剛從台灣運到的,還熱熱的呢!
"寶貴十架"和"似乎在天堂"~
真的很好很好聽,每首歌都很感動喔!請大家趕快去買喔!
感覺好像有一堆禮物一樣,神的救恩和慈愛不就是最好的禮物嗎?!

晚上回家的路上,在freeway上剛好看到Disney的煙火
你知道嗎??? 我看到的煙火是Happy Face!!!我的臉上真的是露出微笑~
我告訴神,祢真的很愛我~祢真的是用笑臉幫助我的神!!!
God, You are an amazing God!! I give all the glory to YOU!

As I continued to deep clean my room this afternoon, I found a box in my closet. I did not remember what I put in there so I took it out and opened it. It was like a treasure box where I found some interesting stuff that I still kept.
This is a ceramic art piece I made from one of the art class many years ago. I used to put it on my desk but unfortunately one of its ears got chipped and fell off. I think I really treasured it and still saved it in the box. However, I decided to throw it away and it is in the trash now. =P

Surprisingly, I also found these three money flowers!! They are made with one dollar bills!!! I think I got those at least eight or nine years ago. Who was this guy trying to catch my heart with money??? hahahaha =P I cut and disassembled the flowers and each flower is worth five dollars!!

Yes, one more Winnie the Pooh to my Pooh & Tigger collection. It's actually an alarm clock and I think I ordered this online a few years ago and didn't open it until this afternoon! heehee

Do you keep all the cards and letters you received??? I do!
When Robert was little, he loved to write me letters or draw me pictures. I think he wrote this when he was in 2nd or 3rd grade. This is just very sweet and cute.... ^___^

Sherry and I spent our Sunday afternoon in Pasadena. She has never been there before so we decided to go shopping at Paseo Colorado. Outdoor shopping wasn't the best idea in a hot summer day like this but we still had fun. After an afternoon of walking and walking, we drove to old town and went to Kabuki Japanese Restaurant for dinner. It was an early birthday celebration for Sherry! =)
Happy Birthday girl!

Sherry's chicken sukiyaki. It's HUGE!

My sushi combination. Yummy! Starting to love sashimi more and more!

Sherry~ It's a beautiful place to hang out!

It's me. I think we are like tourists! haha =P

I don't know who he is and what he is for...guess it's an art piece. cool~

Thank God for a fun day with Sherry. Thank God for protecting us and keeping us safe. We didn't get lost!!! Praise God! (Both of us are really bad with directions. heeeheee =P)

好驚訝喔!!! 剛剛卡羅從香港打電話給我喔!!!
(請大家不要羨慕我~我知道我很特別!!)
雖然講不到五分鐘,但是卡羅要我向所有關心她的朋友們說一些話
(特別交代跟小白說...請小白再轉達給其他的人!)
卡羅說她很好,每天都有學到很多新的東西
經過很多場的events,但是她還有聲音喔!
Praise God!!!而且她的聲音聽起來非常的好聽,很喜樂很興奮喔!
她很想念在美國每個親愛的弟兄姊妹們
常常在休息的時候就會想說大家在做什麼~
她請大家繼續為她,也為整個SOP團隊代禱!!

還有,她現在去逛街了!!!哈哈哈哈～

2006-07-15T15:46:00.000-07:00

房間快整理好了!!!
這次的大掃除真的是快把我累壞了~
裡裡外外我都要給它清個一塵不染(懷疑自己有潔癖!!哈哈)
這次狠下心,忍痛把穿不下的衣服一包一包的準備捐出去
還有這幾年下來人家送的stuff animals都重新挑選
一半都被我淘汰了,不然睡覺都快沒位置了!!

昨天晚上和Jack, Wendy & Ivy去"口品"吃飯
那裡的食物真的很好吃,超多人在等的
我們四個人點了酸辣湯,炒空心菜,三鮮炒麵,蔥油餅,豬肉蒸餃,海哲皮...
我應該沒漏掉吧....吃得好飽喔!!發現我們都還蠻會吃的~
吃完後Wendy媽媽還去隔壁RJ買了一個叫"Wonderland"的蛋糕給我們
回家的路上我們又到茶點子去吃特製芒果冰
不是吃很飽嗎???!!!不過總是肚子還是有空間給甜點的~哈哈哈
這還是我第一次去茶點子吃冰呢!!!冰是用"碗公"裝的...超級大的

我們四個合吃一個才可以吃得完呢!!!
回家以後我們看很多照片,聊了聊天,現在知道結婚的時候要找誰幫忙了!!!
我也該好好幫Lillian也幫自己收集資料和吸取經驗~
之後我們看了很好笑的綜藝節目還有吃蛋糕~
反正星期五晚上就是一路吃到底的感覺....哈哈
謝謝你們~讓我真的是過個開心的星期五晚上~
下次有好吃好玩的請一定要找我!!! ^__^

甜蜜城堡裏的王子和公主

2006-07-14T13:43:00.000-07:00

這篇是特別為我親愛的Lillian寫的
昨天半夜十二點多終於在電話中把求婚的細節詳細的跟我分享了~
Lillian授權給我讓我好好的把她和Peter的求婚記給做個紀錄(這可是要有copyright的!)

Peter這次非常細心的計畫這次的求婚
在Big Bear租了一個三層樓的小城堡
原本我們Lillian還不是很想去呢~(知道以後要多聽Peter的話!!!)
星期六早上六點半Peter就去接Lillian,還送了一朵玫瑰花給她
開著開著...Peter還看地圖找路..(其實在演戲)...終於到了目的地了
這三層樓的城堡一樓是室內花園
當Peter請Lillian打開門的時候,Lillian看到的是一片玫瑰花園...
她非常興奮而且驚嘆的要轉過頭跟Peter說怎麼這麼漂亮的時候
一轉頭
Peter已經一腳跪在地上,手裡拿著戒指跟Lillian說了一大串感人的話跟她求婚
感動的淚水流下...耳邊傳來的音樂竟是他們倆的情歌~

這個玫瑰花園裡的玫瑰花有199朵,加上早上Peter送的那一朵共兩百朵
原來Peter為了這次的求婚還跟公司請假呢!!
其實前一天Peter就已經開上山去佈置這個玫瑰花園~
還有這個求婚戒指可是Peter牌的喔!
他把Lillian喜歡的款式想辦法加在一起,是Peter自己設計獨一無二的喔!!
當然,接下來的時間他們倆就很幸福的住在城堡裏,過著王子和公主的幸福生活
還有去散步,享受大自然,釣魚和騎馬喔~

好朋友要結婚很為她高興
我也等不及想當乾媽~ 哈哈好啦!先當伴娘啦~
願神在這段準備結婚的日子裏,更豐盛的保守你們倆個~愛妳愛妳!!!
找了很多可能連Peter和Lillian都不知道我有的照片:

在Hollywood Bowl野餐的時候,情侶裝喔!!!

在Hollywood Bowl看表演的時候

我的Birthday Party

吃我的生日蛋糕!!

Jessica在公園的Birthday Party~

這張是在Life Plaza~Lillian很黏人喔~

這張是Easter照的,Lillian那時有捲捲的頭髮~

這張是在Janice & Will engaged 的那個Sunday~

這根本就像是狗仔隊拍的....到底他們在講什麼秘密....

I am very happy and excited for you my dear~
Thank God for having a sister like you! =)

2006-07-14T12:47:00.000-07:00

TaTa & David are engaged!!!!!!
又是另一個浪漫的求婚計!!!
本來還蠻想睡覺的,一下子心情超級興奮的~
想像TaTa幸福的表情
跟你們說喔
除了整個夜空裏美麗的星星之外
還有自己填詞的浪漫吉他情歌
當然還有TaTa最愛的款式的戒指囉~
還有一個"飛盤"

TaTa...你應該沒有狂笑吧~
幸福的大衛~幸福的TaTa....you two are a sweet couple!!
願神大大的祝福你們的愛情~

這是第一次TaTa把大衛帶來給我們"看看"
記得我們大家"考問"了大衛很多問題...hahaha
像是"TaTa有沒有欺負你??"哈哈哈...開玩笑的啦~
雖然只看過大衛一次,可是感覺的出來大衛非常的疼愛TaTa
TaTa頓時間也變得很小鳥依人....

這些照片應該只有少數人看過...
突然想到所以post上來讓大家瞧瞧!!!
看TaTa笑得多甜~

2006-07-14T09:54:00.000-07:00

昨天晚上我和Robert去逛Wal-Mart買東西
回家的時候媽媽問Robert買了什麼
結果Robert說"買了擋太陽的那個!"
...我心裏想....擋太陽????什麼東西
搞了半天,Robert是在說sunscreen!防曬油啦!!!
媽媽和我都快笑翻了~哈哈哈

2006-07-13T15:53:00.000-07:00

下班一看手機,有四通missed calls
誰找我呢??一看三通是家裡打的,一通是爸爸手機打的
心裡急了一下,這麼急著找我是什麼急事?!?!?!
趕快打回家
竟是爸爸溫柔的口氣說:"你會回來吃飯嗎??"
我說"會阿"
接著爸爸說他要去吃"Baja Fresh!!"
突然想到要去吃Baja Fresh....真的是非常心血來潮~哈哈哈
I love Mexican food!! except beans.
超級喜歡吃quesadilla的,woo, i love the melted jack cheese!
今天吃了Baja Burritos, steak quesadilla, fish & shrimp tacos. yummy~
(當然是share一起吃....我蠻會吃,但沒那麼那麼會吃~=P)

爸爸等待已久狂吃的表情....

2006-07-11T15:02:00.000-07:00

When stress feels like it's piling up inside me, the only way is to go to God first. I know only God's shoulders are big enough to handle my deepest thoughts and feelings. =)

We had our family meeting last night. It started with mom and pinkybaby's cold jokes. heeeheee...those chinese cold jokes that almost freeze me. We did the Bible study on Matthew chapter 9. God spoke to me in an amazing way. He comforted my heart with His word and answered me the question and complain I've had since couple weeks ago. We then shared our lives and ended the meeting with prayers. We plan to go to the beach this Sunday after church to enjoy some sunshine and seafood. ^__^

Thank God for His grace and unfailing love~ He is my comfort and my shield!

2006-07-10T23:57:00.000-07:00

今天下午下班後去Torrance找Bernie
他今天下午的飛機回台灣,還好有機會在他離開以前能見個面
本來只是要送個禮物給他,但是不但吃了頓他阿姨好吃的午餐(鍋貼,酸辣湯和雞湯)
還帶走了一盞燈,一個小暖爐,洗髮精,潤絲精,還有燈泡...有吃又有拿的,真是不好意思....=P
發現Bernie還蠻有人緣的
有的人還為了送他去機場有的翹班,有的請假,有的連工作都不要了...heehee j/k
還說覺得離別很感傷....明明就一副高興的模樣,哈哈哈~被拍到了!!!

這是阿姨家的臘腸狗狗:YoYo
很可愛喔~很會撒嬌的狗狗,而且長長的很可愛~

拍了好多張,終於有一張不亂動的...

YoYo黑的好漂亮喔!

這張照片讓我覺得YoYo好像Seal或是Sea Lion,感覺嘴巴會頂個球耍特技的樣子

隨便從網上找個Sea Lion的照片,哇....還真的蠻像的,不是我在說....

本來在講Bernie的,怎麼變到Sea Lion去了
anyway, may God bless your new life in Taiwan and all of us here will miss you!! Read the storybook every night before you go to bed!! ^__^

2006-07-09T21:43:00.000-07:00

台灣的南華阿媽,小舅舅,小舅媽,天恆,柔柔和愛愛
很想念你們大家...

2006-07-09T21:31:00.000-07:00

時間全然是出於神恩典的禮物
真愛會以禱告,忍耐,與感激之心揭開這禮物

謝謝妳...
每次在我心情低落的時後,妳就像是天使一樣的出現

2006-07-08T10:19:00.000-07:00

早上被一通電話叫醒!!!忍不住要跟大家分享一個好消息!!!!!
Lillian & Peter are engaged!!!!!!
好興奮喔~哈哈哈
真榮幸,我是第一個知道的喔~ =)

summer school已經很快地過了三個禮拜
慢慢的沒有一開始的興奮和新鮮感,早上也越來越爬不起來
這個班上有一個學生很喜歡跟我說話,每次都喜歡跑到我旁邊想閒聊
可是這個學生讓我很頭痛,因為有時候我不知道到底老師和學生的界線在哪
或許我就是看起來也很像學生,這個學生就把我當作朋友一樣
可是每次講話每個句子都有髒話
不然就是跟我講些有的沒的,像是哪個女生的身材怎樣
我聽到不想聽的就叫他不要告訴我這些,我不想知道...
或是請他講話有氣質一點...

今天,這個學生對我講話不太禮貌
我想他是想跟我開玩笑,但是我覺得應該是讓他知道不管怎樣都該有所尊重
所以很認真很嚴肅的請他尊重一點
還警告他如果再這樣說話就請他到去見GLC...就是送到辦公室去
沒想到他說...老師今天怎麼這麼兇,沒想到長得這麼漂亮,可是好兇喔....
覺得又氣又好笑的....忍著不敢笑....哈哈哈哈哈

上一次這個學生也問我"老師,妳之前有沒有男朋友??"
"之前??"為什麼不問"現在?"
這什麼態度阿!?!@^@*&#*)
他說他覺得我看起來很像沒有男朋友的樣子...
請問沒有男朋友的樣子是什麼樣子,真是被打敗了.....

昨天也和一個女生講話,這個女生胖胖的,不是有點胖,是還蠻胖的
沒想到她竟然問我"老師,妳知道我爸媽和我奶奶說我長的像誰嗎?"
我說我不知道,她說:"楊貴妃!!" 天阿....我哪知道楊貴妃長什麼樣子
她說:妳看我的嘴巴小小的...眼睛細細長長的..楊貴妃是古代最美的女生
還有我的名字是希臘最美的女神....
更驚訝的是她的志願是以後當模特兒
我...蠻佩服她的自信滿滿....真有種講不出話來的感覺

Road Trip: Solvang & Santa Barbara

山西省女子足球隊

2006-07-05T15:02:00.000-07:00

在Colorado Springs有個基督教機構叫做"Uncharted Waters Sports Ministry"
這是一個很特別的事工,是藉由運動來傳揚神的福音
在世界各地透過運動,將神的愛傳達給需要的人
這次他們邀請中國山西省女子足球隊來到美國
我們教會是負責接待,教會中有很多家庭願意成為host family
我們家也住了兩個可愛的女生,倩倩和聃聃(不知道怎麼唸對吧~唸丹丹)

在我印象裏,足球隊員應該是壯壯的,皮膚黝黑......
結果一看到她們,好可愛喔~蠻瘦的而且好年輕喔!!她們都才二十歲左右

認識她們才短短五天,越了解她們在山西的生活就越覺得自己很幸福
她們的生活很簡單,就是每天受訓練習踢球
她們都是用手自己洗衣服喔~想到這裡...真覺得有洗衣機和烘乾機的可貴
這趟是她們第一次坐飛機,第一次出國....第一次到Disneyland...第一次聽到耶穌
第一次到教會...第一次唱詩歌...第一次禱告...
自己,真的是太幸福了~過的生活真的是很舒適~

昨天是她們在這裡的最後一天
早上和她們一起去水晶教會"Crystal Cathedral"
因為爸爸要跟她們講聖經故事,把握住每個可以灑下福音種子的機會
我嘛~也跟著湊熱鬧~幫她們照相
願這一趟美國之旅,成為她們這一生中最美的回憶和祝福
這一生最美的祝福就是能認識主耶穌
這一生最美的祝福就是能信靠主耶穌

Photos are up!!! 山西省女子足球隊水晶教會之旅照片

太好了!!!!今天是healthy diet的第五天
早上秤一下體重,已經成功的減了五磅!!!好高興喔!!!!
過了四天只吃生菜沙拉和水果的日子,這種感覺不錯喔!
當然今天還是持續著,
吃的沙拉當然不只有生菜,還有番茄,蛋,葡萄乾
有的時候加一些ham,雞肉,salmon或豆腐
最重要的是每次用的salad dressing是不一樣的,這樣每次吃都覺得很不一樣~
特別跟大家推薦Raspberry Vinaigrette,很適合夏天喔~
即使吃很大一盤沙拉,可是很快就會餓了,所以水果就是點心!!
這幾天也吃了很多很多水果,包括了草莓,香瓜,藍莓,鳳梨,柳橙,西瓜,香蕉,蘋果

這樣的吃法很簡單也很健康喔!!也很適合現在炎熱的夏天喔~

2006-06-30T01:08:00.000-07:00

最近很少用電腦,也幾乎很少上網聊天
有的人以為我消失了,其實我還在啦~
剛剛逛逛大家的blog,才幾天而已就覺得有種跟不上的感覺....

今天是一個好朋友的生日
這個老朋友從認識到現在已經12年了
那時候認識的時候Robert還可以抱在手上,好像才兩歲多而已
如今我們都長大了,Robert也要讀十年級了
時光飛逝....
很高興可以聊聊近況
祝你生日快樂!!! 用心一點提高生活的品質!!!

It has been two weeks; four more weeks to go.

Working with the students in the classroom is not an easy job. But so far I like it and enjoy the four hours I spend every morning. They remind me the time when I first came here and I know some of them are having a hard time adjusting to this different and new American school system. One student does not even know how to type up a paragraph on the computer. One student wants to stay in the classroom and continues working on something during the thirty minute brunch time. I think many of them are here by themselves with relatives or guardians. I feel bad for some of them...

We are learning about comparison these days and students need to write sentences using _____ is as _____ as _____. One student came up with a sentence, "This river is as horrible as my mom." I know it doesn't make sense but I think it's pretty sad to say that. I think that student probably feels abandoned by his mom. There are just so many little stories in the classroom everyday and it is getting more interesting as I get to know them more and more.

Dinner time!! I started my healthy diet this week, trying to be healthy, stay in shape, and lose some weight. This is my 4th day!!! add oil~

2006-06-27T23:46:00.000-07:00

還好還好...今天還沒過完
因為電腦生病了,不知道是什麼病毒....
不過,千辛萬苦還是要update一下
跟大家說喔~今天!今天!今天是一個很特別的日子喔!
雖然我post的比較慢,但是祝福還是一樣深喔~

對了~說了這麼久,還沒說今天到底是什麼日子
哈哈~應該大家早就知道
就是我們親愛的塔塔夫人的生日!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
生日快樂!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TaTa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

記得曾經照過TaTa很淑女剛剪完頭髮很有氣質拿著書的照片
可是因為電腦不合作,只能用這張很像蜘蛛人的調皮模樣經典照 =)

我知道TaTa不會介意,因為還有比這誇張的照片....
沒有啦!開玩笑的,是因為TaTa的個性就是很爽朗,很陽光,很有活力
只要有她的地方,就有歡笑~
很替TaTa高興,雖然她比較愛大衛,可是我們還是很想她的

TaTa,願神在這新的一年裡,繼續更豐盛的祝福妳和大衛
使你們同心奔走前面的道路~大大經歷神的信實和美好~
愛妳喔~
(其實我本來蠻想和大家分享那個電梯小姐的video clip,可是還是等到婚禮再用~)

2006-06-25T16:26:00.000-07:00

這個weekend看了這部電影"Click"

蠻可愛的電影,很好笑...很幽默...很好玩
是一部看完臉上會露出微笑的一部輕鬆喜劇
雖然劇情很簡單,但是卻提醒了我要珍惜身邊的人
不要常常因為忙東忙西而忽略了許多生命裏最重要也最愛我的人

2006-06-24T21:07:00.000-07:00

Lucy回台灣了
雖然知道以後一定會再見面
但看見朋友離開的感覺不怎麼好受,會捨不得....

雖然只有短短的四個月
但是妳我會是一輩子的朋友~
No matter where you are, God is with you and you will be missed!
Whatever you do, i know you will be great! You already are!!

Thursday

時間過得很快,認識Chris和Anthony都好幾年了
那時候的我們都在青年團契....感覺好像在講童年往事一樣
那個時候的Chris還在Junior High
因為他年紀比我們小很多,每次聚會都想睡覺....
但是轉眼間Chris今年已經High School畢業要到UC Davis讀書了!!!!
很久都沒見面的我們決定來個小團圓
所以晚上一起到Curry House吃飯

之後我們四個又到Speed Zone玩賽車
辛苦這兩位男生了,因為我和pinkybaby都只想坐不想開
哈哈哈~輕鬆又好玩的一個晚上~

看見老朋友好興奮喔~好像熟悉但又陌生的感覺
真感謝主~大家都好好的,可以彼此分享近況
更有趣的是可以回想以前一起成長的那段回憶~
成長的過程中,每一個階段都有一群成長的同伴
感謝神有你們這些朋友在我生命中!!

改變

2006-06-20T22:22:00.000-07:00

真的只有神的愛是永遠不變的
昨日~今日~到永遠~
很奇怪的,我昨天在想,為什麼人很容易就改變了呢?!

人很容易受到環境的影響而改變
也很容易因為身邊的人而改變

改變到底是好是壞呢??

對同樣的一個人,會因很多不同的原因改變

對同樣的一件事,也是會因很多不同的原因改變

我真希望我給予的是"雖然"的愛,不是"如果"的愛

"雖然"的愛是無條件的,是不變的

"如果"的愛是自私的,是要求回報的

2006-06-20T01:39:00.000-07:00

好煩喔....睡不著

第一天

2006-06-19T22:00:00.000-07:00

第一天在高中的summer school當助教
這次是分配到ELD的class
雖然只是第一天,可是覺得這次比去年有意義
可能覺得這些學生真的很需要幫忙吧

很多都是幾乎剛來美國不久的學生
看到他們的時候,就想起我剛來美國九年級的樣子
什麼都聽不懂,又是新的文化,新的環境,新的臉孔,新的語言
真的只有"怕"和"緊張"可以形容....

今天有一個學生問我是不是只有19歲...
哈哈哈~笑死我了...真想直接給他一個A++++
其實他們每個人都很可愛(希望這感覺不只是第一天!)
有著剛來美國的那種純真的感覺,很單純很害羞

我的期望很簡單
希望我真的能幫助他們,能建立關係,成為他們的朋友
我真的求神加添我能力和favor
使我是成為有味道的鹽~告訴自己,我要有flavor喔~

Happy Father's Day!!!!

2006-06-18T22:38:00.000-07:00

We all love you very very much~

Good night~ Time to go to bed. =)

2006-06-17T20:39:00.000-07:00

覺得我今天很自閉
我想今天外面應該很熱吧
關在有冷氣的家裏或許比較舒服~
哪裡也沒去,乖乖的在家聽音樂,做翻譯
認真的時候還蠻有效率的呢
只是今天這種感覺有點落寞....

2006-06-17T01:03:00.000-07:00

I found this great website when I was searching for healthy recipes.
hope you find it helpful when you plan your meals! =)

The World's Healthiest Foods

2006-06-16T22:37:00.000-07:00

今天一整天眼皮都很重,靠著梅子綠茶才能努力工作到下班
昨天到凌晨四點才睡....為了Lillian只好犧牲掉我的beauty sleep
昨晚到Lillian家一起吃晚餐,還有stay overnight
本來應該是我要親自下廚的,可是剛好媽媽煮了很豐富的菜
而且為了一個甜點我就用掉很多時間....所以,包便當的本領馬上派上用場~

從吃飯開始兩個就話講個不停
吃到都快半夜了....可憐的Robert剛好下樓吃維他命
竟被我們兩個老姊半逼的逼去幫我們洗碗
謝謝Robert!!!!!! Robert總是是這麼貼心
叫Robert的都這樣嗎???!!!我家的Robert也是這樣...姊姊一拜託就會說好.....

想結婚的我們竟在半夜開始看Style channel
都是些婚禮婚紗喜宴的節目,真的很好看喔~
就這樣看阿看的,聊阿聊的...看到快凌晨一點半
不行不行!!!明天我們倆都要上班,還好我堅持上樓去睡覺
就這樣兩個瘋女人就在廁所瘋狂起來
洗個臉刷個牙竟然可以狂笑到笑到肚子痛
Robert我們應該沒吵到你吧?!?!?!?!

也不知道兩個人在興奮什麼....
本來要睡覺了竟然有一隻很粗很肥的蜘蛛
這是昨天我打的第二隻蜘蛛...第一隻是在看電視的時候發現的
發現其實我打蜘蛛還蠻利害的呢~
打完蜘蛛兩個人更興奮了
最後一次看鬧鐘是快凌晨四點.....

今天早上兩個人實在很想請假不去上班的
可是....沒辦法,兩個人都太負責任了
原本九點要出門的,竟然又聊開了
聊到九點三十五分才出門....兩個人好像都沒時間表一樣
哈哈哈~好玩好玩的兩天一夜鑽石吧之旅告一段落
謝謝Lillian~ 下禮拜繼續...下次有蟹肉魚蛋壽司~

我們的晚餐,是媽媽做的啦~不過要擺的漂亮也是有技術的!

這是昨天恩典小烤箱推出的"Refreshing Fruity Delight"
從冰箱拿出來的時候看起來很漂亮的呢!

可是倒出來的時候有一點點的失敗~不是每次做的東西都是美美的~
想了很久,可能奘的容器不對,或是冰的不夠久,也有可能水果會生水

水果淡淡的香味很清爽喔!有的地方看起來還是很好看啦~
重點是...很好吃喔!! Lillian你說是吧????!!!

2006-06-15T16:54:00.000-07:00

Thursday

今天是我的休息日,不用上班也沒有課
這種享受好像是最後一次
所以到底我今天做了什麼事呢???
當然睡到自然醒....

恩典小烤箱今天又營業囉~
為了配合炎炎夏日,準備出爐清爽的點心
所以去超市逛了逛,蠻喜歡逛超市的,可以發現很多沒看過的東西
可是今天沒看到我要買的mint leaves
其實也不知道mint leaves長什麼樣子
印象裏應該跟parsley和basil很像才是...可是都沒找到

很興奮今天採購了一樣新的kitchen tool: Fruit Baller
就是把水果挖成小球球的那個武器

這樣挖呀挖的也吃了不少水果
至於我的恩典小烤箱到底推出什麼????
還沒做好,晚一點再跟大家分享～

Wednesday

下班後去剪頭髮,想剪頭髮想了一陣子了
其實也不是變髮型,只是修一修,比之前短了蠻多的
剪完頭髮有新的心情~

這兩天開車的時候都有一種怪聲,特別是採煞車的時候....
其實好幾個禮拜以前車子就曾經發出過怪聲
只是後來就沒了,想說沒聲音應該就沒事了就不理它
可是昨天這個怪聲音大聲到讓我怕了
原來是煞車都鐵磨鐵了...我竟然開到這種地步還在開
感謝神.....感謝神的保守讓我平安無事
覺得人很奇怪,為什麼一定要到怕了才意識到事情的嚴重性呢....
小小的問題不解決就會成為大問題喔
所以如果你的牙齒有蛀牙,請快點去看牙醫吧!
(扯的有點遠...不過這句話是提醒我自己的啦~哈哈哈)

沒變太多嘛~因為要我說大家才知道我剪頭髮,根本看不太出來~

Tuesday

欣妮去迪斯尼!!! ^___^
和一群非常可愛的弟兄姊妹去Disneyland & California Adventure
享受到加州過度溫暖的陽光,還有讓人超級開心的迪斯尼氣氛
這是今年第二次去找米老鼠~感受到暑假的炎熱和擁擠的人潮

Disneyland裡面有一個ride是Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
超級好玩的喔~還玩了三次(發現大家的競爭心強的很呢~heehee ^__^)
這是可以射雷射槍積分的ride...好玩好玩~

可能是很久沒走路了喔
竟然會覺得累....一定是粉久粉久都沒運動了
竟然有種好像不像當年年輕的感覺...哈哈哈

2006-06-15T16:51:00.000-07:00

Monday

星期一是我們家的家庭時間
晚上每個人一定要在家一起吃晚餐,之後還有家庭聚會
一開始覺得這種規定有點麻煩
可是其實想一想一家人雖然住在一起
但是因為工作上課和其他忙碌的事情,真的是很難都聚在一起

我們的家庭聚會都是先從每個人輪流分享過去一個禮拜感恩的事情
接著爸爸就會找一段聖經經文
從短短的經文中找問題,解答問題,然後如何把神的話語應用在生活中
接著就是每個人分享這個禮拜的計劃或重大事情還有代禱事項
最後以禱告結束星期一晚上的家庭聚會

其實有了這一段時間,每個人可以更多的溝通
所有高興傷心難過委屈的事情都可以通通說出來
也更能了解每個人生活中發生的點點滴滴
我想爸爸媽媽想了解我們的想法及生活中所碰到的事
多了這一段為彼此禱告的時間也是很美好的

這個家,對我很重要
曾經有些人覺得我的家很奇怪
也有的人覺得我到這麼大還跟父母一起出去旅遊很不可思議
還是這麼大了還有這種要一起吃飯聚會的規定
但是....這就是這個家給我的祝福
我想等我老了...回想起星期一晚上,應該會是很開心很覺得驕傲的

爸爸媽媽的29週年結婚紀念日

Finally the spring quarter is over and my stress level has dropped. I am looking forward to the summer but I wish time would slow down. It seems like time is passing faster and faster each day. I decided to work again this summer after receiving those prayer letters...hahaha =P Many friends are going on mission trips this summer. I will try my best to support them financially, also with my prayers. ^__^

back to work, more updates later on...

喜極而泣~感動感動~

I haven't gotten the chance to update lately, feeling tired and drained. I asked myself, where is my passion?? It seems like I start to have doubt. I think I just need some rest. =)

An anonymous person left some annoying comments on TaTa's blog. I don't know what happened but I just think it's very very childish to leave comments that could hurt or confuse people. This happened couple times on my blog before. Some anonymous people, who think they were anonymous, left comments that were rumors and slanders. I actually found out who they were and felt really sorry for them. I guess they were just mad at something or someone and they did this as a way to vent their anger inside.

There will be a praise and worship SOP event in Irvine tomorrow night. I encourage you to join us to worship together!!

June 3, 2006 @ 7:00 PM

曾經有個人跟我說過
"...像你是有知識,可是沒智慧..."
聽了很生氣...覺得這種話很傷人

沒想到...又有另一個人跟我說
"....你缺少智慧....不是說你笨....你就是缺少智慧....."
聽到第一次覺得是別人的錯
現在竟有兩個人這樣說我...那就表示是我的錯

明明我就知道自己不對了
明明我知道做錯了決定
可是...真的真的好難過喔....
昨天想了很久很久
一想到,眼淚就留下來了...

我可以原諒對我說這些話的人
可是我不知道怎麼去忘記你們所說的話.........................

2006-05-18T21:12:00.000-07:00

好可愛喔~看到這個畫面,想到很單純的愛
很簡單但很深情的愛~

知道最近有一些朋友在感情上婚姻上有困擾
我,只有聆聽的耳
說真的,無法體會你們的無奈,無助,掙扎....
對不起,沒有辦法說出什麼安慰你們的話
但我真的是很願意幫助你們...如果有什麼我可以幫的
我願意陪你們渡過,也願意聆聽你們內心深處的痛苦
我求神來安慰你們的心....

然而,謝謝你們
因為你們,我覺得我的世界是簡單的單純的
而簡單就是一種幸福~

神是賜我們希望的神喔!
我希望你們打開心門打開雙手接受神在你們生命裏的祝福~
神是會陪著我們抱著我們走過風暴的~

如果走路像耶穌，你會去哪裡?
如果眼睛像耶穌，你會注目何處?
如果屈膝像耶穌，你會在何時下跪?
哪裡是心思應該停留的地方?

Happy meals do make people happy! haha...well, it makes ME happy! =)
Had craving for McD fries and found out that they have new toys from build-a-bear workshop with the happy meals. So, instead of ordering only the fries, I had to order the happy meal! =P (you think I am childish?! Ok....I think I am....)

Somebody gave my parents this gummy bear vitamin. It's called "Vital Gummys" which condensed 14 whole-food fruit and vegetable concatenates in these chewable fruity gummy bears. Eating 3 vital gummy bears is like getting all the nutrients from a large fruit and vegetable salad. It's much much easier and faster than eating the green grass...=P

Thank you all for reading my blog! ^____^
Can't believe people are so competitive.... Did I say there would be a prize for my 5000th lucky visitor???
The answer is NO. I was just wondering who would that be. hahaha =)

昨天去學校的路上, 一直想到小朋友....很想看到小孩
結果昨天晚上下課回家竟然有三個小朋友在家
我好興奮喔~兩個五歲四歲的兄弟加上另一個一歲多的"妮妮"
在教會看過他們可是沒有跟他們玩過
因為大人在聚會...我可是費盡心思陪他們玩

五歲的哥哥很皮脾氣很拗, 東翻西翻拿這拿那的, 很難搞定
三個都不知道"輪流" "taking turns"的大道理
玩了不同的board games, 吃了很多糖果...
我還自創了丟巧克力到桶子裏就可以吃乖乖的遊戲
還有給他們考試看看他們知不知道body parts...
最後叫他們看我吃飯...因為下課都還沒吃飯阿! 哈哈哈!

這兩兄弟的是韓國和台灣的混血兒...實在聽不太懂他們的語言
他們跟我說"看圖片", 我說好阿...心想像框就在那自己去看阿
重複了很多次...明明照片就在那阿
搞了老半天是在講看電視....真是被打敗了.....

就這樣玩了兩個小時....我的結論是..."我以後最多生兩個!"

妮妮好可愛喔~很會灑嬌呢~

可愛又讓我抓狂的兩兄弟~

三個人難得專心的幾秒鐘...

2006-05-12T22:47:00.000-07:00

下班回家後真的好累喔~
可是好想去公園散步....很久沒去公園了
今天自己一個人拿著照相機去公園散步
天氣很棒, 溫度也剛好很溫暖
就這樣漫步到家附近的公園, 散步了30分鐘

想起剛搬到這個家的時候, 覺得公園很漂亮
沒事就會散步到公園, 或是帶親戚朋友去公園看看
時間一久....也不知多久沒去過了
之前的家有游泳池, 剛剛搬進去的第一個夏天每天都會游泳
覺得家裡有個游泳池好棒喔~
時間一久....根本都沒在游了

人很奇怪吧~時間一久, 原本珍惜的東西就變得不在乎
甚至變得理所當然一樣...

2006-05-12T16:29:00.000-07:00

love the weather outside & want to go to the park.
have an awesome weekend everyone. ^_^

2006-05-11T00:57:00.000-07:00

上帝很疼我. 知道我的心思意念...
即使我很愛吃, 祂還是顧念我....

今天上班的時候, 同事給了我一個"麥芽燒", 是台灣的土產喔~

雖然從台灣來也在台灣長大, 說真的, 還沒吃過這種東西
吃起來, 很像台灣台中有名的太陽餅, 可是卻沒有太陽餅好吃
除了麥芽糖...有點淡淡的鹹味..可能就是上面寫的桂花餡

對於味道分得非常清楚的我(就是甜和鹹不能混在一起)
心中想著....還是懷念台灣的太陽餅...就是小時候吃到大的那種太陽餅
沒想到~今天收到一個禮物, 回家一看
天阿!!!! 感謝主~除了很多好吃的小餅乾和我最愛的小羊羹
竟然還有一盒道道地地從台灣台中來的太陽餅
而且就是我小時候吃到大的這種橘色的盒子....

很感動........當然囉! 剛剛帶著感恩的心吃了一塊...好吃好吃~yum yum yum

It's a beautiful day outside. yeh! Feels like it's summer time~ I just checked the weather and it is going to be sunny for the next 5 days. It means I can take my car to the car wash! heeheee I don't' remember when was the last time I washed my car, probably the drive-thru one at the gas station million years ago. =P

Jean just called me to say hello, very sweet of her. She said baby Josephine says auntie Sydney when she sees the toy I brought last time. Toys really work! If you want kids to remember you, bring toys! j/k =P

"The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

it's almost 2am and my eyes are still wide open! can't fall asleep........

作夢
最近睡覺的時候都會作夢
不單單是夢很長, 而且是很奇怪的夢
像是在夢裏看見一位弟兄跟一位姊妹表白（很恐怖的組合）
另一次是夢見有個人跟我求婚（也是很恐怖的惡夢）
昨天, 夢裏有好多故事, 只記得兩幕情景
就是看見火山爆發, 很驚險的一直跑一直跑
再來就是跟火山一點關係也沒有的
就是夢裏看見我告訴一位剛認識不久也只見面過幾次的一位可愛的姊妹
"神要我告訴你,祂要給你一個孩子"
我醒來記得非常清楚, 因為怎麼會作夢夢到這位姊妹呢
如果她真的懷孕了, 我會是"乾媽"....哈哈哈

說到"乾媽", Lillian已經認定好我是以後她和Peter的孩子的乾媽
還沒結婚就先幫孩子找乾媽, 而且兩個還討論過喔～真的是很厲害
但我可是感到無比的光榮　=)
親愛的Lillian, 希望妳要好好照顧自己的身體喔～
什麼時候一起出去玩阿？？？？
（三更半夜特別在我blog寫到妳...妳夠特別喔）

說到"照顧身體", 請威嫂也要特別照顧自己的身體
妳的健康就是妳老公我姊夫的幸福喔～
請早睡早起不熬夜多運動....（姊夫看到這會拍手叫好! =P)

說到威嫂, 今天開車回家的路上不知道可以打電話給誰
所以就打給威嫂...很好玩, 住的這麼遠卻每天都會互相打電話
問了威嫂一個問題, 如果妳想找人講話, 除了威爺以外妳會打給誰
哈哈～她說是我....我們好像都沒朋友一樣...哈哈哈不愧是姊妹～

談談愛情吧～
那天看到一位好朋友和她的男朋友
有一陣子沒看到她了, 這次看到她....真的更亮麗笑的也更甜
更散發出那種小女人的感覺
看到妳幸福的樣子很為妳高興, 也深深的祝福妳和他
願神每天賜給你們新鮮的愛情～

愛情, 力量很大的呢
可以使一個人瘋狂
可以使一個人憔悴
可以使一個人勇敢
可以使一個人犧牲
可以影響一個人的心情
可以影響一個人的一舉一動
