A Malaysian, living in London to fulfill the calling of my Lord. Currently engaging in an exciting 'Permanent-head-Damage' process in Imperial College. My family, loving and caring parents, 3 handsome younger brothers and 2 pretty younger sisters in Kuching, Brisbane and Adelaide. That make me the eldest among my siblings.
Today is my youngest sister, Stefanie Then Wan Jin's 12th birthday! She had a huge birthday party at home, where 30++ people 'give face' and attended, including her tuition teachers. And apparently the theme of the birthday was 'The Princess Party' (i think), even her birthday cake got a picture of one of the princess in Disney cartoon (Cinderella if i'm not mistaken)
Anyway .... HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Remember, I sang birthday song to you just now already yea! :P
Looking at the pictures, guess what i miss the most?? F-O-O-D!!! Got satay, fried chicken, pizza, red-coloured eggs, icy-cake (you can't imagine how nice the cake in Kuching is) ..... i'll be home soon .... *swallowing all my saliva*
This is our monthly combine service with Hope Ealing Fellowship, as well as our evangelistic Sunday. The place was beautifully decorated! The ice-breaker was refreshing: 10 secs of one song will be played and you need to call in to the mobile number displayed on the screen (which the chairperson had prepared)! The response was 'overwhelming' .... very fun looking at the congregation all dialing in. I led the worship, but feel quite disappointed with the sound. It was really messy ..... will improve on that, especially for the PA man!
The highlights of the events were the photo booth (photos were taken using Polaroid camera) and the chocolate fountain! Ah Sun and I were standing at the chocolate fountain dipping marshmallow, fruits into the chocolate! So happy ... so happy until i forgot to snap the photo on the refreshment time :P Nevertheless, the chocolate fountain things are at my house now, gonna do it for our Valentine CG this Wednesday! Will take some photos for those who might not know how does it look like!
After the service, we went to the chinese takeaway shop to have our dinner! Really enjoy the fellowship with one another! Glad to see Harry back from Vietname as well! :D
Ah Sun, Yanti and Kenny preparation the decoration of the stage

Last Friday, Kenny, Esther, Candy, Scott, Jessie, Guo Jing and I went to Lee Valley for an outing! We're forced to go again at this odd time because we overbooked the previous time (Lee Valley Outing Dec 06) so we have some unused balance left. And comically, the poor management of YHA never informed us regarding the validity of the carried-forward amount until I made an inquiry. Nevertheless, now it has been settled, but we're left with quite a big sum of loss.
However, it was a really pleasant trip. We had care group, played UNO stacko (this is addictive) and monopoly! We watched movies (X-Men and Apocalypto) until 3am in the morning! We went cycling as well! Guo Jing and Scott, who were supposingly not feeling well due to fever, recovered fully without taking any medication and went on cycling for an hour with the rest of us! God is good! It only rained when we cycled back to the hostel, so none of us were drenched!
By the way, I've increased the storage of my online photo gallery at http://picasaweb.google.com/EldosThen to 6GB, so most of my photos can be viewed there!
Last Friday, at Hatfield CG, God's work was soooo amazing! As usual, we started CG with some 'Hi, how's your week?' talk, but somehow it went into an Q&A session then later a teaching session! Without using the teaching i've prepared, I started to share while more questions were asked. You just have to experience this, cause when God is with us, the answer n sharing that I gave that night, surprised myself as well. We went on for almost an hour in the teaching. Praise n worship was really great as well. So before we wanna end the CG, we going to have communion.
God just prompted me to ask Guo Jing (a new visitors who join us for abt a month), 'Do you wanna have this communion with us? It simply means you want to commit your life to Jesus; in another word, to be a Christian!'. Without hestitation, she said 'YES'. At that moment, not only the angels in heaven are celebrating, the whole CG was filled with joy! Yes, it has been a while seen we have any convert! We prayed the sinner's prayer, we blessed her, we had communion together ... n we keep singing the song 认识你真好 (It's good to know You) from 赞美之泉. It just become soooo meaningful to everyone that night! God is good!
by the way, she shares the same birthday (6th Nov) as me .. but of course she few years younger than me! :)
Nottingham Mission Trip
The next day (3 Feb), Kenny, Candy and me, we went to Nottingham for a short mission trip! I always like mission trip, not only we can bless the brothers n sisters who are pioneering at the land, we ourselves will be so blessed as well. No exception for this trip. I was just sooo blessed! Upon arriving at Nottingham, we met up with Sin Li (Hope BP) and Lamia (Hope Labuan), got our lunch (takeaway fried chicken), then proceed to the so-called 'Robin Hood Castle'. We went there because it's a high place so that we can pray over the city! Powerful prayer, really wanna conquer the city for God! Then we had lunch ..... Kenny and I had 4 1/2 pieces of fried chicken (big one okie) while the 3 girls has only 5 pieces combine!
Next, we went to Beeston to meet up with Ariel, a Taiwanese sister who seriously wanna plant churches for God in Nottingham! We went in groups of two to street evangelise! I was so blessed that they took the initiative to make invitation cards, which prove so useful in approaching people on the street! We managed to know many new contacts, who willingly gave us their contact detail.
After street evax, we proceeded to the chapel at the university to prepare for our CG. Although it's only 6 of us, but the atmosphere was good! They are such a good team. Again, I have the priviledge to share the WoG. It was so awesome how God is able to use me to encourage everyone! Frankly, I think I was the one who got encouraged the most! We ended our day with delicious chinese food! God really take care of us so well .. the food was fantastic n the price was cheap (£5.20) each! :D We got home in London around 12am! A truly fruitful trip!
Little note here: Candy (who was saved 2 years ago), i truly see her transformation, particularly after this trip! She has the opportunity to witness the pioneering work n this just inspire her. Hey .... involve everyone in mission trip!!
Yan Yee's Birthday
God is amazing! Another 'soon-to-be' sister in Christ, Yan Yee was so surprise that we actually remember her birthday! She was kinda 'on and off' in attending CG previously, but in her birthday wish, she actually pray that she will now join CG as often as she could!
You can also view the album by clicking on the photo below.
CG is just so powerful when everyone is able to show forth love n care to everyone! I shared in CG about Galatian 6:1-2, that we must bear each other burdens and look after each other (physically, emotionally, spiritually). It should be our first priority as leaders to ensure this happen in our CG! If not, work for it, pray for it! Every life is a miracle! Guo Jing is one, Yan Yee another .... so do Kenny, Yanti, Yoppy, Harry, Anita, Candy, Gemmy, Louise, Wilson, Adeline, Ah Sun, Nat, Mengshi, Samson, Tommy, Ivon, Janet, Yong Wei, Hui Ping, Wee Kee ... Esther, Scott, Jessie, Tom, Bill, Chen Chen, Wang Wei, Annie! Thank you, Lord! I'm so blessed!
2 weeks ago, there was the snow, which excited me so much! Today, it was a heavier snow!!! hehe! Again, those back home for holiday (Yoppy, Adeline, Harry, Alicia) and those who already go back for good (Wina, Leanne, Peishan, CN, KK), and those yet to experience snow .... I'll be 'kind' enough to post up some photos for you to see! If you wanna feel how snow is like, go to the ABC or metahon store, ask the uncle to make u some ice flake! It's exactly the same!
Just click on the photo below, and it will bring you to the photo album! I was with Jacey, on our way to the college, so we decided to talk a longer route, by going through Hyde Park! Hence, all these photos! We'll leave college early today, to have hot food (so cold actually) then go home to change our socks (wet feet now), and might drive around to Hamstead Heath or outside London to see more snow view!
