My dears, you all make me cry
WARNING: SUPER-MEGA-MAJOR-LONG POSTYes, really.
When Chanel said “CDs”, I expected just that.
CDs.
What greeted me at my doorstep this afternoon was an EXTRAvagant surprise!
CDs you said? Well, there is a total of:
FORTY FOUR MESSAGE CDS
TWO MUSIC CDS
(p.s.: Butterxiao, you can keep You Gave. NO NEED liao! Wait for you, wait until the blue cows come home...)
FIVE SOLID ROCK MAGAZINES
TWO BOOKS
And best of all…
A BEAUTIFULLY MADE, MAGGI-IN-FRONT, BABIES-IN-CENTER, AND HEART-AND-MAN-AT-BACK CARD!!!
I was in tears….
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!
Oh man, I have to mention all of you…
(I’m listening to “You Gave” as I’m typing this. “YOU GAVE”!!! There won’t be “You Gave” if you haven’t given…)
EVERYONE: THANK YOU. A BIG THANK YOU! Thank you, even, for the bubble wrap for the card. I am now popping away! You guys have successfully kept me distracted with all these gifts! MUAKS!!!
Chanel: You the WOMAN!!! Thank you so much!!! And for doing all this, sending the mega-expensive package, getting irritated by the postal people (remember who, when I come back I’ll have a nice little chat with the “auntie”), gathering all these CDs. You don’t have to do it, but you did! You are so amazing!!! I wish you God’s blessing in your job and may you excel in everything you do. And please, remember to eat. Singapore not enough tentage for you to break…
Alice: You miss my laughter? Sure or not? Get Skype lah! I can laugh into your ears all day long! I will blog, no problem. Once these stupid assignments are over. Ha ha… Still having fun at your work place? Got go and look at salesmen or not? The cute ones, those that sell the “you-know-what”. Tell you, super nice to look… I hope to see you soon too!
ST: Hello!!! Why you so special one huh? Your baby got this big mouth, staring at me? And then you want big feast… Very hungry huh? Heh… I miss video actually… Not the scolding, and fainting part… But just being able to serve the Lord with all you amazing people. I miss you so much!!!
Seok Peng: Hey… Blessings on you too! Are you still with P---------? How’s business? Doing good? I just realized the stupid dental here in farmland Ithaca is SO EXPENSIVE. Should’ve bought dental coverage… Anyway, studying here is not too bad. Just that when projects come, THEY ALL COME AT ONCE. And they catch you by surprise. But overall, things are going well here. But I still have your email address just in case. :P
Kaiwei: Baby big already? Can talk? (“Tian cai” mah…) I was so happy to hear the news. It must be a great and wonderful addition to your family. I’m sure things are going very well for you and your family. May the Lord bless you with good days and wonderful years with your daughter!
Jasmine Oei: Hey cutie! Much love and kisses to you too! How’s school? Still staying alive? We must overcome those assignments and readings, in Jesus’ name. I wonder who came up with these crazy ideas… We don’t need them! Anyway, you have fun! Keep me updated!
Roger: Yoz brother! You ho say or not? Seriously, I thank you for the little note you wrote in the card. Came just at the right time. It’s a very gentle reminder, to REST in the Lord, and ENJOY His love. And it’s ALL ABOUT HIM. Thank you.
TTT: My dear friend and sister, you are so strong and truly loved by Jesus. And yes, my hubby is safe and sound. Quite nice leh! But the cover design a bit…. I wonder who did it. I think you and I can do a better job. I’m happy for you, as you began to embark on your career. Keep me posted ok? And yes, get Skype. Then we can all conference and plan our next one-week-in-Bangkok trip.
Hon Wai: Hoi!!! World Cup 2006 is coming!!! Who you support? I support Germany! Thanks for your little note and for confirming that I have to rest in the Lord. Thank you, brother!
Ruth: A RUTH……… Siao liao… Your baby also a bit crazy. Go and put finger in mouth… Sister, sister… I miss you so much. I am so glad things worked out for the best for you. Jesus loves you so much. I am so happy for you. And thanks for listening to me go on and on and on about my life. You are ever so patient, and ever such a wonderful person. You deserve the best, that only our Father can give. I love you Ruth! I miss our late night snacks at Mc... How?
Cindy: This sister long time no see, long time no talk, long time no hear. Then write such a wonderful note. Thanks for the encouragement! Yes, Jesus is our strength and refuge!
Vivienne: The Lord bless you too! Truly, I haven’t seen you for a while and it’s good to hear from you, through this beautiful note. Write more! I miss you!
Jac: My research is going very well indeed. Things are happening, in my favor. I must say, it’s definitely the favor of God. He is really good, and putting everything in place. Like how my research fellowship is approved, how my adviser is really interested, a very supportive committee, very helpful people surrounding me. It’s great to know how much I am loved, just by witnessing the grace of God.
I know not everyone reads my blog. Hell, some of you even stopped updating your blogs!!! What do you expect me to read??? You all also must continue to blog and continue to comment mah...
Thank you very much :P

My dear Butter,
Your present is phenomenal. I love you!!!
I can safely declare to the world that you do mean more to me than just a cousin.
Thank you for the laksa, for the rice crackers, for the char kway teow mix (!!!), the book, the tom yum soup, and the tshirt!!! Sibeh cute!!!
Will take photo when I attempt the difficult ones… Need supernatural help with those...

I also want to thank my boy.
Thank you for being so patient, so understanding, and so kind.
You truly are a gift from God.
Get well, and be healthy, in Jesus’ name.
Can’t wait to see you again! Love ya!

This is a bit random, but I suddenly have this urge to cry.
No, not sobbing cry. But really cry buckets…
I want to rent “Deep Impact” and watch it five times.
AND CRY….
Especially the part when Tea Leoni and her father hugged at the end, before they get consumed by the waves. So sad….
Can cry...
Yup. That’s what I want to watch. Hopefully, I can find the DVD here, in this faraway farmland of nowhere.
I think this is the only show that really made me cry. It doesn’t matter if I watched the show 5938 times already. That part still gets to me….
PS: This show also has one of my favorite presidents... Morgan Freeman. He damn cool...

Two more weeks of school left! HALLELUJAH!!!
Today is a very happy day for the Sane One. Praise the Lord for His awesome goodness and grace!

Sane in Thanksgiving mood! Thank You, Jesus!

So many names I don't know, so many private memories with her behind each name that i would prob nvm get to hear abt... unless each of u tell !!! =) =)

Harlo harlo...glad that you received the CDs, presents, card and all... so you like the bubble pack lar, my office got a lot, next time can send to you again. Hahaha...
Am surprised that vacuum packs of food spices (like the laksa) can be sent to you ! The last time i checked with the embassy, they say cannot leh... anyway, enjoy both the physical food and the spiritual foods !
Daddy God loves u, so do all of us back home ! :)

Comments are posted by commandment of the Sane One... haha
Crap aside, JH I am really happy for you that things are going on so well, God's favor is shining on you & what's more, you have a BOY BOY to take care of you now! When you have Jesus you have everything you need! And this is the year of acceleration as Pastor has said, don't stop believing that good things will continue to happen, b'coz our Daddy is a good God.
(~: lots of hugs!!! :~)
Hi Miss Butter,
Super long list sia... Perhaps I should start, say from the 4th person in the family tree. Any advice ? =P
Jia you and hang in there for your finals! May our God who give Miss Sane her scary "chao-mugger" ability do the same for u too. =)
Zheshen
