Happy Birthday to Julia




Last Friday morning, sisters of GMC celebrated sister Julia's (mu shi nian) birthday at Great Palace Restaurant. I was invited as I joined one of the LCG every Wednesday morning. We had an enjoyable morning breakfast with all the ambience of the Hong Kong 'dim sum'. I have known Julia for about 17 years and it was the very 1st cell group that I joined her.
Wanna blog here for my remembrance cos I won't be long with them in the city as I need to move back to my kampung.

Birthdays to remember LCG

Every Wednesday, these group of ladies obviously set priority to meet each others at nine in the morining for the Bible study. The Studies In Christian Living enable
them to search the Scriptures and come up with subjective answers and spur their determinations to gain more attention to the Words of God.

Maggie, being the Cell Group leader is a capable leader accepted by faith always plans and zealously guard their studies time together. Sometimes when they shared out of the topic, some problems simply fade into irrelevance, then Maggie will always knows how to cope with this situation directing right into her goal and objective. She always plans for her members birthdays and celebrated with them.


This was indeed a very remarkable and memorable birthday celebration they ushered me few months back in April when coincidentlly after few decades, I met my English teacher while I were in Form two then. Hey, teacher, u r hiding at the back!


Group photo at Dynasty Restaurant celebrating 'Dai Ka Jie' Rossie's birthday last Tuesday.



The cake was so beautifully decorated and made by Catherine that made Rossie unwilling to cut the cake and share with us, so she needed to pray harder. We enjoyed the dinner together and sang a birthday song to Rossie.

Honestly, I do enjoy myself with this LCG and always look forward to be with them and at least I do not feel lonely in this city. God is Good All the Time.

Cinnamon and Honey

The benefits of taking cinnamon with honey

You might want to share this information with your friends, kinfolks and loved ones. Everyone needs healthy help information ~ what they do with it is up to them ~ share with your buddies!!!!!

Quotes from Pharmainfo.net

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing" When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.

Cinnamon and Honey
Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.

Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack.. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured.

According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

To all Mirian guys and the visitors peeping into my blog here, let have a look at the ground and I took some pictures this morining. I liked the place for it is nearer to my place and also it has various facilities for the visitors and users such like public toilets, food stalls and children corners with the ambience of the cool surrounding jungle trees , planted trees and even the fruit trees. During Weekend, there will be hundreds of users or visitors.



Skateboarding here.

I like it here cos' bamboo trees release out more oxygen than any other plants.




Hanging Brideges




Children corner



A shelter to rest or barbecue here.


A hilly jogging track and flight of cement stairs to the level ground and parking space.

Last Friday back home till this afternoon, we all ate outside as to welcome home brother Macdonald coming back from Canada. He loved Malaysian food so we just pampered him to eat outside cooked food be it Malay, Chinese or Indian food.

For a taste of authentic Malay delicacies, it was just nice our Muslim friends started the Ramadam and extra hawker stalls found in several sites in town offer a gastronomic treat for the taste buds. One can feast on a variety of hawker food such as fried rice, nasi lemak, nasi padang, pow, cakoi, curry puffs, satay, roti John (long hotdog of fried egg and minced meat), pais (barbequcd fish, prawn and beef), pulut panggang (barbequcd glutinous rice), kuih malaya (Asian-style waffles with peanuts) and kebabs. I liked fish grilled and barbecued in banana leaves.

Yesterday, as promised to take brother Mac to Sushi King, we went for lunch. We almost finished all the varieties displayed on the train. The price of each dish is according to the colour of the plate. Likewise we also called some side orders. The taste of all these Japanese food reminded me when we were at Excapade Sushi in Kiulap, Brunei Darusalam two months back. But this resturant need to be booked in advance at least an hour. The business is so encouraging that it expanded into other four more branches around in Brunei. Mirian guys loved to drive to Kuala Belait just to enjoy the sushi cos' it is only forty minutes drive to its ideal venue for family gathering or dating for youngers. And it is worth going if you pass by Brunei.

I have blogged on 13th January about "Birds have feelings" and here is another one of its kind. This couple is sobering over the lost of the unhatched eggs. I have the passion observing birds and been watching this couple for several months. They built the nest just above the ceiling of the balcony adjacent to the master bedroom where I used to dry my clothes every morining, so that how I am able to meet this couple every day.

Lord U R like honey in the rock

HE is my everything!


An old Christian Chorus in the key of C

He is my everything, He is my all,
He is my everything,
both great and small,
He gave His life for me,
made everything new,
He is my everything, now how about you

Some folks may ask me
some folks may say
Who is this Jesus

He is my saviour
He set me free
Listen while I tell you
what he means to me

Like Honey in the rock
Sweet honey in the rock
For he tastes like honey in the rock
Oh taste and see
that the Lord is good
For he tastes lik honey in the rock.




I will praise U with all my life and all of my strength cos my life is in You Lord.




Yes, Lord Open the eyes of my heart and I want to see U.
