My Joy List

Rebekah falling asleep on my chest

2012-01-20T12:49:00.000+08:00

As I type this , Rebekah is soundly sleeping on my chest. Just to hear her "snoring" makes me happy. Thank God for special bonding like this. Amen

Answered prayer

2012-01-18T12:52:00.000+08:00

As I ride to work today, the weather was hot and polluted with haze. It has been almost a week since the last rainfall. As usual in Malaysia, once the people have the opportunity to burn their waste, they will do it and the smoke will linger in the air.

Prayed to God to send rain to remove the smoke pollution and to clean the air. It was improbable that it will rain because there was not any cloud in the sky. 3 hours later, rain fall and I know it rained throughout Melaka as the dark cloud spread as far as my eyes can see. Thank you Lord for your physical cleansing of Melaka. Thank you for answering prayers.

God's blessings

2008-08-30T16:56:00.002+08:00

Michelle is confirmed to be pregnant. Yes, Praise The LORD for His wonderful blessings. Am amazed at how God works in the heart of Michelle. She has been refusing to have another baby for this near future and I sort of has came to the conclusion that I would not be having anymore children. But lo and behold God has work in her heart and spirit about having children. The news came to her without much crying or fear. She accepted the fact in a "good" manner, putting up a brave front while still struggling with her fears.

Somehow, we are hoping that God will bless us with twins. She has yet to go for the scan but I'm praying that we will have twins. There are a few other "signs" that Michelle experienced that indicates that it would be twins. Whether it is twins or not, we know it is God's blessings upon us. Thank you God.

Hug Mommy

2008-08-03T00:50:00.001+08:00

"Mo (want to) hug Mommy." I hear that every night when putting Barnabas to bed.

Felt so wanted, so loved. :D

I danced

2008-05-17T15:14:00.002+08:00

I danced with Annabelle just now. Just the simple fun ballroom dance with her. It's so nice to see her smile and laughing while we danced. It's been awhile since the last time I danced with her. Then Clarissa and Barnabas joined us. Barnabas also wants to dance with his daddy. I'm happy.

Barnabas

2008-05-16T22:39:00.002+08:00

He will come out and meet me when I reached home. He will shout "PAPA" and will give me a hug. It's so nice to be greeted after a long day at work. Thank you Lord.

My Clarissa

2008-05-16T22:35:00.002+08:00

That she would just come to me, climb on my lap and make herself comfortable. She will suck her finger while holding her pillow and will try to sleep on my lap. Thank you Lord for that beautiful moments where I can look at her in her serenity.

Barnabas

2007-04-21T15:11:00.000+08:00

He is now 10 months old. Thank God for the learning progression of Barnabas. So far he can already stand for a few seconds and has started to say out certain words. He is very attentive of what his two sisters are doing, especially when they are playing together. High pitch sound like when his sisters scream, will definitely attract his attention. Sometimes, he tried to join his sisters too. Thank God also for Annabelle who always try to include Barnabas in her playtime. He has just recovered from HFMD. That makes it a bit easier to look after him.

Record sales

2007-03-05T14:32:00.000+08:00

Praise God that the sales for the first 4 days have been very good. A total of RM1K in 4 days. May the Lord continue to bless the business.

Thank God for a wonderful time in Philippine 16-24 June 2006. After I came back, Barnabas looks much the same as before. Here are some of the photos.

Another blessing from the Lord. Barnabas Bong.

2006-06-14T13:47:00.000+08:00

God has been wonderful to us. Another baby was given to our care. A baby boy, Barnabas Bong.

Born on 12 June 2006 at 18.17 hour Malaysian time, at General Hospital Melaka. Weight 3kg.

All praise and glory be to God. Mom and son are back at home and are fine.

Willing to try

2005-07-11T16:50:00.000+08:00

Thank God for my wife who is willing to try new stuffs. ... though she is hesitant at first.

2005-07-09T16:33:00.000+08:00

I have abandoned this joylist for quite a while. Not that there is no joy in my life. Just that I have been writing in my liquidblade more often now. Almost everything is recorded there. Anyway, here are some of it...

1. Thank God for blessing me with such a loving and understanding husband, who took time (though it is limited) to fill my love tank.

2. Thank God of Kiki fast mental and physical development. It is a joy hearing her say "PaPa". It is also a joy seeing her grabbing on to something to make herself stand. She grabbed my hair last nite to help herself up. Ouch! So painful.

3. Praise God for Belle who is quite a responsible "jiejie" at her age. During the time when daddy is away, I really can depend on her to keep an eye on Kiki. Her speech is improving each day.

4. Thank God for my mom-in-law, Enso Hong, Enso Sook Seem, Sis Roselyn and children who helped me out to care for the children when David is away.

5. Thank God for my parent too who is always there for me, anytime, anyday.

Thankful for the sports training

2005-07-04T14:31:00.000+08:00

Thank you Lord for the opportunity to attend the International Sports Leadership Training (ISLT Malaysia 2005) at Eagle Ranch Resort, Port Dickson. It was a wonderful time of learning and experience. Learnt that sports can be redeemed by Christians for you.
Thank you also for the many wonderful friends that I met there.

Cultural night. Me, Egbert and Jennifer donning the common Malaysian outfits.

Thankful for a wonderful mother

2005-04-19T22:56:00.000+08:00

Last night I just mentioned to my mother that it would be nice to eat pancake with the "kaya" that she made. Told her that maybe I'll would like to eat the pancake for dinner. Today, when I came back from work, I saw her making the pancake for me. Praise God for my mother. Her actions reminds me of her unconditional love. I'm touched. Thank you Lord for my mother. Bless her with salvation and a place in heaven.

Thankful for my wifey

2005-04-13T11:35:00.000+08:00

Thankful to God for my wife. It's not easy taking care of 2 small girls but she did it. She sacrificed her time and energy to look after them. Pray that God will continue to bless her in her motherhood calling.

Thank God for the Clarissa. She always smile when I call her. Nice to see her smile.

Thank God for Annabelle. She is learning very fast. And nice to hold her.

Cake

2005-02-25T13:56:00.000+08:00

After so many years, I finally started baking cake again. The last time I baked, before I enter Uni. That was almost 10 years ago. I baked a Pound Cake yesterday. It turns out ok. Actually, it isn't difficult baking a cake. Just follow the recipe and the cake will turn out good. Praise God that my sister in law left her oven here. Maybe I should tried making pizza. Maybe I'll do it this Sunday. hehehe

2004-11-30T11:40:00.000+08:00

I am 30 years old today and I'm still alive and very pregnant (38 weeks). Thank You Lord for this precious life that you have blessed me with. Love you.

2004-11-04T01:32:00.000+08:00

Thankful to God for answering the prayers of church members for my healing. God listens and answers according to His perfect will.

2004-11-04T01:31:00.000+08:00

Knowing that “in richer or poorer” God has not left me alone but has provided a wonderful and supportive wife to me.

2004-11-04T01:29:00.000+08:00

My wife ironed my shirts. Something that I didn’t expect her to do. Thank you Lord.

2004-10-30T10:50:00.000+08:00

David prepares the ingredient for the fish bbQ paste, blended it and fry it! I can't do it myself this time due to my muscle pain on my right shoulder. I praise God for such a helpful and caring husband. Love U very much, dear... ;)

Annabelle Bong

She is my joy. Seeing her growing up, learning new stuff and being more mischievous each day.

2004-10-27T10:01:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, Annabelle read thru her alphabet book from A to Z with me. She was the one who initiates it. PTL.

Michelle, the cook. & the OA students

2004-10-24T23:33:00.000+08:00

Another item for my joy list. Michelle cook chicken rice today for lunch. She didn't cook everyday, so when she cooks... I'm thankful to God for it.

2nd item - the students in Gapam village. The Orang Asli children have been my encouragement, seeing their progress and the opportunity to teach them.

2004-10-24T17:58:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, when David testified on God's protection during his recent accident, it just strike my mind that I might loose him! Before that, I was cool and calm about the accident. Well, it is just a minor one, I thought. Thank you Lord for preserving his life.

2004-10-24T17:54:00.000+08:00

Yeaaaaaa. Yabadabadoooo.....I can sleep or take a nap right after meal without worrying becoming fat! I'm pregnant!!!

God's protection.

2004-10-22T13:59:00.000+08:00

It's my joy knowing that my life is in God's hand. I'll not die until and unless God says so. So I'm confident that no matter what, I'll live until it is time for me to go and meet God. Such assurance delights my heart.

2004-10-22T13:57:00.000+08:00

It's great to be a father. And it's a great feeling to have my own daughter, Annabelle sitting on my lap during meal time, just sharing the food with me. I treasure those moments.

2004-10-16T10:42:00.000+08:00

Judy called, asking me whether I'll be in church today. Got something to pass to me. My favourite tuna sandwich spread specially made by her. PTL.

The Beginning

2004-10-16T10:39:00.000+08:00

Today, I shall start listing down the blessings that God has provided and the blessings I receive from people around me.
