Teenie!...

my new found travelmate and photomate!.. *grin* Her name is Teenie-Grey.

Ice Cream!.. :D

I like this picture very much.. :D

I have decided!..

I have come to a final verdict.. I think!.. and feel peace when I have decided. Focus on the here and now. and I shall not head home for now, not even for holidays until God opens the door.. More at peace once that is settled. *grin*.. So, friends back home, I won't be seeing you guys any time soon.. Either next July for good or ??? only God knows... when.. *wink*

Psalm 84:10..

Psalm 84:10 (New Living Translation)

 ¹⁰ A single day in your courts
      is better than a thousand anywhere else!
   I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
      than live the good life in the homes of the wicked.

do I mean it wholeheartedly? 

when you say "don't care".. do you really mean it?..

or is it just an easy phrase to use?.. or is it a substitute for expressing that uncertain feelings?.. but it doesn't really mean that we don't care any more.. or does it? I wonder.. 

I recognise that different people use different phrases to express different things.. Therefore, the same phrase may not express the same feelings for different people. Now, wouldn't that makes things really confusing? It just brings communication to another level of complication.. hmm.. 

Just a random thought that I have today. *grin*

Me & English afternoon tea.. *wink*

this is what I call enjoyment of life! my kind of tea.. :)

what more could I ask for?

I am in love!..

gotcha!.. in love with God's creation..... *grin*

do enjoy these photos.. *wink*

my fairy-tale land... and this is real!.. *grin*

this is really a glimpse of the peace of God that I have been experiencing.. it is amazing that pictures speak what words couldn't express.. *dreaming*

how much is too much?

I just have this question in my mind today... especially after an interesting conversation this morning. Just boggles my mind what people are going through in their lives. Everyone of us have our own struggles and issues and yet lots of people need support.. and how do we balance in giving the support.. What would Jesus do in this? That's my prayer today as I reflect and pray. May God gives me the strength and the creativity to know how to respond that pleases Him. 

Matthew 26:41

'Stay alert; be in prayer so you don't wander into temptation without even knowing you're in danger.'

In The Message, Eugene Petersen paraphrases the words of Christ in Matthew 26:41...

Dinner on 04.05.10..

Why is this dinner so special? lol.. well, coz I actually find this meal I cooked so unique.. hehehe.. and I am so happy with it.. making the white sauce from scratch.. using double cream.. chopped garlic.. mushrooms.. prawns... cheese... butter... tee-hee-hee.. and of course, my final touch with the mixed herbs!.. I think I am pampering myself way too much!.. lol.. *wink*

My first 5-miles walk too!.. lol..

after the BBQ... 10 of us went on a 5-miles walk... and I managed to take some lovely lovely pictures along the way.. I was really tired at the end but it was well worth it.. *grin*

Stratford-upon-avon Canal..

Yellow.. yellow!... (rapeseed flowers, it is called)

Lovely, isn't it? :)

I thought this is really sweet... :)

I had a great time.. love the countryside.. love seeing many different things.. love to see all sorts of flowers.. animals.. and I managed to conquer a 5-miles walk!.. lol.. *wink*

My first BBQ of the year.. :)

Yup.. first BBQ... with my fellow C-groupers.. Weather was rather unpredictable, however, we did have some good sunny moments!.. lol..

I was just posing besides the BBQ equipment and the master chef managing the equipment.. (btw, he is my C-group leader)

Group picture of everyone... great weather to take a group picture.. hehe... but not everyone was there though..

all the meat!... hehe..

and the rest of the food...... (roast potatoes.. rice salad - both are my favorites... kebab.. buns... drinks)

and of course, without fail and it is a must!.. we ended with puddings and ice cream.. this is the English way of a meal.. *grin*

My second BBQ is coming up soon.. think it would be in June.. and then, there will be another one in July.. hehehe..
