Sharing about His faithfulness was AWESOME

It's the first time, me sharing our testimony infront of many in SF today. It was about the difficult times we had endured during our FnC posting(which was the post i wrote back in October) and in the end, how God has blessed us in return.click here to read the post again:)

Telling people about how His faithfulness was indeed great. Emotionally moved by His presence. And just looking back, it's definitely by God's grace we survived!

Now i understand why when we've tasted His goodness, we will have this joy, just want to share it with the people who have yet to taste it, because we know God wants them to know how DEEP He loves them as well, and want to bring them back to His side and assure abundance blessings....

Thank You Lord, for the courage to testify Your faithfulness in our lives today.
Thank you, Lily and Eugene for the long hours of putting all the slides together in powerpoint.
Thank you all for the prayers throughout this difficult times.

We have conquered part of this journey and there are more to come and we shall face them with joy and trust in God.

thank you Ly, for who you are, the best companion i could ever ask.

wasSup Doc: A tunnel of testing can produce a shining testimony.

We are going through the tunnel, do you want to join us?? :)

You'll Never Walk Alone (when Troy Lim's your guide)

Posted by guest blogger: Fellow TEO EUGENE:)

Lilian says I should start this blog post like this, “People say... No. The best way to visit Spain is without expectations. People say Barcelona is famous for their pickpockets. And never has there been a group who has been there and left unscathed. That tale was history, as my group left Spain, without an itch a scratch..”

Anyways, back to me.
*cue Lilian’s irritating nagging on what to write in the background....

5 days, 95 hours, and a couple thousand or so minutes in the sun, sea, splendour (and sangria!) of Barcelona. Sound awesome don’t it? You bet.

Well in truth the trip actually started in scouser-y ol’ Liverpool (nobody calls it ‘the pool’ btw). John Ling, future Infectious Disease consultant extradonaire and Troy’s churchmate, was gracious enough to loan us his living room for the night before we flew off the next morning.

Us at the Beatles Museum

LOVE Penguins!!!

Troy’s walking tour of Liverpool was the order of the day, and it definitely did not disappoint. Mei Mei’s dimsum, penguins, Liverpool 1, deep holes covered by glass, more penguins, Albert Dock, breaking umbrellas, Beatles’ smth smths, sheepbananas and some Elvis looking dude’s statue were the more interesting points of the tour. At this point I would like to make a note that Mei Mei’s dimsum was indeed awesomeness, and in my opinion at least, better than Manc’s. The only thing that Liverpool has thats better than Manc.

?the better dim sum??

Now, let's POSE like that Elvis dude:P

The day ended with a meal at good ol’ McDs while waiting for Ai Ai’s arrival before we headed off to Odeon to catch the omgfreakingconjobutterlyterribleanddisappointing 3D version of Avatar. If anyone reading this hasn’t watched Avatar yet and your nearest cinemas aren’t showing it anymore, you’re one of the lucky few. One or two of us were lucky enough to catch a couple minutes of shuteye that night (the rest of us got constantly awakened by Troy’s never-satiated stomach making mating calls). BROmance it is:)

Eye of Liverpool^_^

And off to Barcelona it was!

SmiLe:)

that's what i kept reminding myself to do each day... a gentle smile is contagious, coz it will make the person u smiled to smile in return:P am i making sense...hope soO..

Kawan saya yang cool:P

it's gonna be a short post...sorry to all my dear readers out there, Angie is having exams next Friday..so i've got no time to post up anything interesting yet...will do it ASAP k..please be super patient with me:)

But this morning, as i was chatting with my old old friend, the GGWONG a.k.a ardent reader of my blog..the first question he asked me was..why i didnt update my blog...i think it's not the first time u asking me this dy:P seems, u really visit my blog quite often:P thankies soso much! then when i return from town, i saw a post on my FB wall which says...

"nama kawan baik saya angelene teo. dia suka menangkap gambar mengguna kamera. dia suka membuat kawan-kawan dia berposing cute untuk kamera. dia membuat kawan-kawannya berposing agar dia nampak lawa dan kawan-kawannya nampak lawak. walaupun saya begitu cool, saya berposing untuk dia supaya dia gembira."

WAkakkakakakkakakkaka...i just laughed my head OFF! my day didnt start off good today, seeing things i shudn't hv seen, knowing things i shudn't hv known...but when i read this, all my dissapointment and worries were just swept away. In storms of life, when i look back, i'm actually not alone and need not fear because God has blessed me with friends, though distance apart, i know they're praying for me and wishing me all the best, trying hard to make Angie happy....awww.. heart meltsSss..

kawan kawan saya yang cool sedang POSE nih.. Dalam perpustakaan pula ni..
dia kata dia cool, dia pose macam ini supaya saya nampak lawa, tapi dia nampak lawak!
