This is just so amazing!

(Picture credited to Every Nation)

This song is already so amazing by its own and now it was sang by 50 different languages! How well the word of God has been spread all over the countries and God is just so amazing!

Just felt so touched when I listen to this song. Even there are some languages that I don't understand, but I can sense the power of the song lifting up God's glory in the air! God is really good............. and his grace is just so amazing!

There are times we don't deserve a single pat on the shoulder, but God says you have done so well my Child. There are many things that we don't deserve on earth, but God gives them graciously and freely to all of us, that we may be set free. Free from tribulations, free from troubles, free from fears... everything is Free, only in the presence of God. I just can't stop thanking God for all that He has done!

Moving house in progress!!

Current house is in a total mess and thanks to us... creating such mess. I just couldn't stand the uncleanliness of such boxes, bags, plastic bags, paper bags everywhere in the house as long as there is space to walk.

Books from the Billy bookcase being packed nicely into boxes.

Trolley bags to stuffs all my clothes.... look at those clothes sometimes was due impulsive buy and now, I implement self-control. No longer as crazy as last time. Learn to appreciate money and well, money is not easy to earn. Earn it yourself and you will know how to appreciate!

Room 3 in the house is now officially a dump site for me... living room fully occupied and I need more space.

Master room is now empty and this will be our beloved 2nd home... will be back here randomly because I still love my PJ life, unforgettable memories staying in PJ.

Living room is also in a total mess... but now it's already very very clean and comfortable.

Pictures from Bali, very cheap deal and bargain and thinking of where to hang those in the new home. Gonna be a good nice scenery and breathtaking view.

Dining table converted to storage table. Imagine how u are going to stay here if we didn't move asap.

And finally....... after ding dong ming mong for so many weeks, finally we've decided to carry out with our plan....... SHIFT!!

We hired 1 tonne lorry for RM150 and 2 extra workers RM100 each. Kissing PJ goodbye on 17 July 2010 but no worries, this will be our random home. We will be back anytime ....

It's sad to leave this place especially when my mom in law will drop by anytime and gave us surprise bak kut teh from banting, or big pau from banting, or asam fish from banting or anything from banting... and when Midvalley, 1utama, The Curve, Ikano, Ikea, Uptown, SS2, Centrepoint are just few steps away from home... and when makan gang are mostly situated in PJ area... many "and whens" to go but we can come back anytime! Hahahaha... =)

I've always heard of people receiving scam emails/phone calls and now, I've actually received one in my Inbox. Unfortunately, I'm not that stupid to click on the given link since there are so many reported cases in the world.

This is how dangerous email/phone scams are!! So, beware!! Never simply click any links from whatever website. If you want to do direct banking, go straight to the bank's ORIGINAL website. Even if it's phone call asking for details/personal information... DON'T GIVE!

Curtains are up!

Curtains are finally up after much hassle with Nagoya. Just can't tahan the ah pekness of one of the uncles in the shop. He actually asked me how to spell Invoice, Alteration, Request... and ok fine. I don't mind... and I guided him. Later on when we informed him our Invoice no, eg 6578, he wrote down 6758 and I told him he wrote down wrongly. But, problem was he mumbled 6578 and again he wrote down 6758. I just felt like taking the pen and write down for him. Furthermore I was hungry at that time and yeah... I need to learn patience!

The two big packs of curtains for the whole house.

Wow... the room that I heart the most and it's just so sweet. Pinkish sweet for a sweet girl... =)

And this room is for a He!

and purple combination room is for We!

Living room.. Justin took the courage to just go for the most complicated design and wow, it turned out to be so elegant and classy! I like it!

Even if it's fully covered... still looking good and not faint!

Close up design........ but, a bit regret getting this thick curtain. Will gather tons of thick dusts I think... can't wait to do the next set of curtains.. most probably nxt year? hehe...
All I can say is I'm really enjoying the nice home sweet home! =)

Am just so tired.... phewww!

Moving house is not a joke and we've been so exhausted and extremely tired for the past few weeks. And till today, we've still not officially moved yet. When we set a date to move, something happened and we had to delay. I just do not know what to do as my morning shift will end this week and next week, I will be going on shift. Can our body take it? And luckily, shift is until 8pm only. But, if we still didn't settle down at a location, we will not be able to take the so called pressure of tiredness. There are still tons of things to settle and I wish I could just spend ONE whole weekend to settle everything!!!!!

Delay means .. more tired! I would rather I don't sleep for the ONE weekend than I don't sleep well for the few weekdays + weekends! We've started to slowly shift some of our things there and when I'm in PJ, there are some things that I left over in Wangsa and this is very troublesome. This problem can only solve if I have 2 sets of the same thing in both houses! All I can say is I'm extremely tired............. PHEW!

When will this end? A bit question mark..... we can't move just like that and there are a lot of things to consider. Why do we want to move then? Since staying in PJ is so fun! This is the answer : WE NEED TWO PARKING LOTS! We can't be renting the other parking lot for the rest of our lives. And I just do not want the hassle to search around for parking.

I've already tried my best to be very very very positive. Still put on a smile on my face, be happy and try to be cheerful. Yes, I've tried my very best for the past few weeks even though I was so tired. And I tried not to ponder on the word TIRED but everyday is a good day and God mercies are new every morning.

We actually don't have much time as for now. Morning we left home at 6.50am and reach home about 7pm. Cook for dinner + washing and all settled about 8.15pm. Do some cleaning and packing, try to settle by 9.30pm. Sometimes I will cook for tmr's lunchbox. And some days there are laundries to do. Bath and then a little of TV time and by 10.30pm latest, I need to sleep! Otherwise next day I will be a moody girl! And thus, where is my family time? =( Lack of family time is the one that upset me the most!

The only time I can sleep well and enjoy dating is when everything is settled ................................

Better is ONE day ............

Monday is always blue and boring and lazy for me... but as for today, I was fully recharged after an awesome church celebration yesterday in Grace Family Sanctuary Banting! Even though lyrics did not go up right, but God's presence was strong and He's smiling from the above looking at the hearts of worshipers.

Psalm 84:10
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

After a hectic weekdays, I can guarantee that only to be in the House of the Lord, your energy, your mind, your soul, and your brain can fully recharged 100%. If you think you would like to reward yourself with more sleeping, eating, traveling... these are absolutely BIG-No-No and Big-Wrong-Wrong because where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

How wonderful is the presence of God! Therefore, never miss out any single moments to be in the house of the Lord because that's where you can find peace, joy, love and ever-increasing glory! You can miss/skip your lunch, dating whatsoever.. but if you miss the presence of God, you will never get back the same presence again any elsewhere!

Before you *plan* to skip Sunday service, always think.... what if God's presence is so strong in church today, His anointing is overflowing..His sweet aroma is releasing peace & joy... many broken-hearts are healed ..... but I MISS it!

Sabah 26 - 28 June 2010

Our trip to Sabah this time was not to climb Mount KK, but rather having a nice seafood paradise experience. As if we can't get enough of seafood in Klang and have to fly all the way to Sabah. Well, being geographically surrounded by seas on three sides, Sabah is blessed with an abundance of fresh and cheap seafood. If you're planning to bring home frozen items such as tiger prawns, sea cucumber, and a wide variety of fishes such as garoupa and snapper, you can have them neatly packed to bring on your flight (of not more than 12-hour long) with ease and convenience!Let's see how cheap the seafood can be.... =)

We stayed at Promenade Hotel Sabah and this hotel is easily accessible to Palm Square, Plaza Warisan, beach.. and all these by walking distance. If you plan to go to Sutera Harbor, then take a taxi which cost us about RM10 per trip.

Sorry for the dark view... forgot to on the lights. Hehe...

And the view from our window..... nice view. And I jokingly asked Justin if we can swim over to the island there. And he said YES. Wow....... cita-cita tinggi!

Nice? But still Eastin Hotel at Penang is the best among all!

We took off from LCCT at 9.45am and landed at 12.15pm. Upon arrival, we went to this Ocean Seafood Village which is just next to our Promenade Hotel and is actually owned by them. So, expect the price to be slightly expensive yeah...

The abundance of living sea creatures...

Abalone!

Crab!

Lobster!

This was the common appetizer served in every seafood restaurants in Sabah. I believe Sabah is rich in papayas too... You just can't believe it. Unlike in Klang, they serve you kacang. But in Sabah, they serve you these!

Good for wedding dinner/lunch.... such a high class restaurant.

Thai style chicken ....

Butter prawn .... I like this sooo much!

Stir fry clams with ginger and onion leaves...

Home made beancurd.. stuffed with meat.

Steam trout ... yummy yummy!!

This was already a BOMB for us just on the first day and also our first meal in Sabah. Usually people will reserve the best for the last.. but... haha. Can't expect this restaurant to be that expensive!

We had evening walk along the beach area, nearby Warisan Square and few minutes walk from Hotel too. Look at the abundance of grilled seafood, but I think they were good for photo taking, experience and not good to eat. If you have a good stomach, then go for it. Not really hygienic as I can see.




Looks tempting rite... but I don't dare to try. I love my stomach! Haha....

Weather was kinda hot and thus, we stopped at ice kacang stall.

Can't believe that they put macaroni as one of the ingredients in the ice kacang. Special.

Food were still not digest in our tummy and time passed quickly and it was already dinner time! We walked again to the so called town and got *cheated* by the map that says Hawker Centre. When we reached the so called *Hawker Centre* according to the map.... the hawker centre is actually a seafood hawker centre. LOL. Means dinner is seafood again.........................



I wonder why they rear the mantis prawn in the bottle and according to the uncle, this is to avoid them fighting. Is it true? I don't know... later I will Google up. Hahaha.


Fried belacan vege... I like this!

Steam prawn with wine and ginger.... when the seafood is too fresh, steam it to taste the 100% of sweetness and freshness.

Salted egg crab..... delicious!

Steam fish with soy sauce.....

The after! So clean that you can't imagine because this fish alone cost RM120. Thus, eat everything except the eyes, face and bones. Hahaha. We spent about RM200 again for this meal. And in conclusion, seafood in Sabah ain't that cheap rite. I guess we had enough of seafood in Sabah and no more seafood for tmr!

On the 2nd day, we went to Skyline church at Sutera Harbor Resort.. and after church, we walked around the resort. Every corner that we stepped, we were just wow wow wow. The resort is absolutely nice, elegant, refreshing, awesome... and the rest you name it!




I just love the pool so much. The built in is just like Sunway Lagoon... If I ever go to Sabah again, this will be the choice of hotel that I will stay. But, the only problem is food! Only taxi can solve your food problem and not your legs....

Back to our hotel and at 6pm, there was 40% off for all cakes. Being a cake lover, how could I resist such temptation, even though I was super full and I still want to stuff as much cake as I can. LOL.



Hazelnut


Durian cake

Oreo Cheese Cake


Saw these two drinks in the Hotel's fridge and didn't know Gardenia brand produces drinks as well. Did you see any of this in KL?

The trip was really nice, relaxing and well stuffed with plenty of seafood. Really enjoyed it, as long as I get out of the city. Haha. Where will be the next trip then? Next year? Hopefully as now, house renovations already made us so dry and broke. Still, God is good and He is a provider! We will never have lack..... =)
