Updates since ... my last post! :P

Wahhh ... my last blog entry was 23 November! I can be this slack huh! Anyway ... after the church anniversary last month, i've been busy 3 things: church and PhD.

Church: CGs has been doing great, with more n more new people joining us! Prayed for 10 new Christians to join us early October n now, we already seen 9! (Anita, Harry, Gemmy, Louise, Ivon, Wilson, Adeline, Tommy, Nejuma)! Hatfield CG will be regarded as a mission field (since it's outside M25 <-- normally being regarded as the border of London) at the start of 2007. Nottingham CG, Sin Li n Lamia are surviving. Hope I can help them more in the coming years! Recently, i really enjoy leading worship in church ... coz after attending worshipcentral seminar, I really long for spirit-led worship. For past weeks, Holy Spirit is really moving among the congregationg! Thank God! Last night, the hatfield CG went for a mandarin-spoken Christian musical, called Here With Me! It was so awesome! The story, the music! Really enjoy it very much! Currently we're all busy organizing Christmas activities for church n CG (am about to leave soon, coz I am late for caroling on the street at King's Cross :P). Tmr will have Christmas service in King's Cross Baptist Church (which we aim to hit 200 attendance) then follow by a Christmas dinner at my house! It's gonna be another 'sell-out' .. coz estimate about 30+ ppl will 'squeeze' into the humble ministry house! :D

PhD: Just 3 weeks ago, we received an email from our PhD tutor, saying that all the 2nd year PhD students have to do our transfer (from MPhil to PhD) earlier .. which is NOW! Shock of our life ... but yea.. now all of us will not have such a relaxing holiday! Even now today is Saturday, i am now back in college, hope to get some works done .... but end up doing nothing! Anyway, it is really good for me, cause since my 9th month progress report (6 months ago), I've managed to done some FE modeling with ANSYS! Getting a better grip on it now, but still need to work hard! Also manage to use VPN (Virtual Private Network), which I can simply access my PC in IC by log on to the VPN by remote desktop! (don't worry if u don't understand). What it means is, i can work from home! :D So pray for me yea ... i'll have my transfer presentation end of JaN!

Personal life: Have watched a number of movies recently: Casino Royale, The Holidays and The Myth (jackie chan's). Also celebrated several birthday: Twin's, Soo's and Anita's! Went for 2 'swim-car-river' during the nights, which was pretty refreshing! Now family are all in NZ touring! Wish i were there, but thank God i'm not .. coz if i were, i'll surely panic for my transfer!

Well .. GOD IS GOOD!! I'm enjoying His presence!

Hope Church London 8th Anniversary

It was a great evening celebrating the 8th Anniversary of Hope Church London in a 'Ball and Dance' style. Had lots of fun with praise n worship, drama skit, song presentations, testimonies and the food! I even won a prize at the raffles draw, which I did not recall I won anything before! I also got a hydro-towel, from the church as thanksgiving appreciation!.

We'll be doing this again next year! It is gonna be even greater n more exciting!

Just click on one of the pictures. It will link you to the photo albums - one is the official church photograph and one is my personal one (which doesn't have alot)

Birthday Dinner ... (a week later)

Remember the birthday dinner I had with Soo and Rachel at Spagetti House in Tufnell Park, today I went there again, with another two sisters, Twin and Esther! Since the last dinner which was so nice and cheap, I really looked forward for tonight! Some more, it was the treat from Twin and Esther (but i truly feel a bit 'heart-ache' for their money that need to spend for this meal). I was really really thankful for them though!

This time, I really snapped some pictures to show all of you what we had consumed! :D

Starter:

This is Bruschetta, olive and chopped tomato on toasted bread! This is amazingly delicious!

Escagot! For those who dunno ... it's SNAIL! A French cuisine. I wonder how come French cuisine can end up in Spagetti House, Italian restaurant.

Mussel on cream sauce! According to Esther, this is the best mussel she has ever eaten! To me, this was the best I had eaten as well :P

Then we had the main course:

First, this is the 'Grilled Halibut' - a kind of fish. It's only 3/4 cause after ate a few pieces, I forgot to take the photo :P

Then this the 'Steak Au Poive' (in English, pepper steak). The meat was really tender and juicy!Such a wonderful life! :P

Last but not least, the dessert! It was suppose to be a 'surprise' - where I suppose to go to toilet to wash my hands, and they suppsoe to quickly get the cake out of the bag, and I suppose to come back to my seat, and I suppose to be very surprise and touched! :P Haha .... the plot had been used last week, so couldn't be carried out! So in the end ....

The chocolate gateau with one candle lit! Only 1 years old ;)

Twin, Esther and Eldos! Thank you very very much! Was really so bless to have you two as my sisters in Christ!

If you have not got enough of me .... Eldos with the birthday cake! (have i gained weight? look 'different'?)

This should mark the end of my birthday feasting! :D

p/s Tomorrow will be Hope Church London's 8th Anniversary, celebrating it in a Ball and Dance style! I will be worship leading! So excited now ......

WELL DONE, Yin Jin!

WELL DONE!!!

Received an email from my dad (he's so good at keeping all of us in the family informed what is happening in our life, especially our achievements), telling us that Yin Jin has improved tremendously in her term exams. She rose 4 places from 14th to 10th! Not easy, especially in the 'cream of the creams' class.

Our youngest sister did well as well in her exams (I heard). She was very delighted of her achievements (I heard as well :P

The picture abit too small ... but lots of As and only 2 Bs!
