“Uncles, aunties, brothers and sisters of Cinnamon Home Fellowship, thank you very much for coming to visit me,” Inez said. “Also thank you very much for the blessing in presents, ang pow.  May God bless you many times in return,” Inez continues. Truly, thank you for coming by. See all of you soon, God bless.


Past few days been reading a lot of about 亲 (qin), I then searched the dictionary for the meaning or definition. If just 亲, it means parent or one’s own flesh and blood, relative, intimate etc.  If to put both the word together like 亲亲, it means kissing.  亲密 (qin mi) would means intimate. I [...]


Elijah likes to do the opposite of smile, sometimes We returned to 年欲发 Restaurant for another round of Ipoh bean sprout chicken and glass noodle.  Yesterday the place was less busy, so the stall owner has more time to organise on the presentation.


While doing some house work (clothes folding) this morning, I have Inez sitting next to me. I then realised she was looking at what I was doing with the big eyes.  I grabbed the camera and took down some of her facial expression.


When I first heard about this incident on 988 yesterday morning, the feeling of loosing a child is pain that no parent could possible handle.  No matter what would be the monetary compensation thereafter. My suggestion to parents, do not rely on others to take care your child, no matter under what circumstances.  Try the [...]


That is the time when I decided to step back, take a look from a wider picture of things or looking from different perspective. While looking at the mountain of school uniform to be iron last night, I almost thought of giving up, or perhaps spent the money at the laundry.  However, while I began [...]


After Inez joins our family of four, now five, Retna and I have been thinking about how we could treat the family.  For now, the top treat list I have would be to get an ASIMO from Honda (if it is available, last I checked, not yet) for the family in handling the daily routine [...]


Reading Reihard Bonke’s posting on Facebook few minutes ago:- When Peter walked on the water it was Peter, not Jesus that figured prominently in this miracle. Peter walked to Jesus – not Jesus to Peter. But with it Peter showed what Jesus can do! If we do no more than what we can, it doesn’t [...]


My mother visited us yesterday after many days of travelling with Beng to the north handing over Beng’s wedding card invitation. Beng’s wedding is on November 15, 09, which is like another three weeks away.  Ariel will be assisting in the car door opening when they are coming back from bride’s home to their new [...]


While on the hunt for Elijah’s glasses changed at an optical shop in Pusat Bandar Puchong, we were looking for a place for dinner before that. We were blocked by a vehicle in front of us while on the Jalan Bandar 2, Pusat Bandar Puchong Jaya, and I turned the car to park right in [...]


Inez is four days old now, we praise God for His protection and wisdom these few days, although we had some nights that we wished to have some sleep While having dinner outside for the first time with everyone including Inez, I encountered into two families that I wish to enter to this blog so [...]


Many have asked what would be Inez’s Chinese name, actually I am not the expert in the Chinese name, as we obtained the assistance from my grandfather when naming Elijah and Ariel eight years ago. They are 振意 (stimulates hope and wisdom) and 振强 (stimulate strength from within). When the three doctors asked Retna and [...]


After Retna and Inez can be discharged to come home, I went for a meeting with a property developer immediately after sending both of them back home. The meeting took place at a site office, of which is also the sale gallery.  When I got there and awaiting for Flora and Fakhrul to arrive, I [...]


Yesterday was the second time we have Inez looks at everyone.  So I took the opportunity to take the pictures before she decided to fall asleep With her eyes looking at us, as parents, we could sense the responsibility of leading her in the right way, showing her what the world is, knowing the good [...]


At a glance, she reminds me of Elijah when we first saw first eight years ago. Inez, born on Tuesday, October 20, 2009, approximately 1:40pm.  She weighs 3.82kg and her height is 52cm. The caesarian section takes a bit of time on the preparation – mainly nurses were confused on the instruction from gynaecologist as [...]


Inez, born on Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at approximate time of 1340. Praise the Lord for His provision and blessing that Retna and I can be parent of young daughter. Pray that God will bless those who have been faithfully praying for us. Hallelujah!


Needles piercing through, moment to arrive, in just another 50 minutes to go for the scheduled caesarian. May God continue to be with Retna and Inez.  Hallelujah for this day.


The date is fixed. It would be Tuesday, October 20, 2009. We are excited!


I did not follow the full coverage on balloon boy incident, but I followed it after the police discovered that the boy was found later hiding at home for many hours. Check this At a news conference, Sheriff Jim Alderden said: “They put on a very good show for us, and we bought it.” Sheriff [...]


Last Friday’s home fellowship discussion on Genesis 13 and 14 has a close relation with Leviticus 26:8, Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.  God says it clearly that for He will be with us if [...]


Jackie, Retna’s daughter for 4 years now, does behave or learn to behave like our both sons. She could be scolded now, she would be sulky and depress, the next moment, she is cheerful and happy to play again. Maybe God has Jackie to teach us how to deal with children?


After ZOOBormer, here and here, Ariel has started a new ZOOB creation, he called it Mechanical Fingers (he has yet to confirm the name). We bought Transformers for both of them after their second round of examination.  However, they did not do so well with one of the subject, so we decided to withdraw the [...]


Elder Dorai, Mission Director of Full Gospel Assembly since 1987, was lecturer of Forestry Engineering, before committing his life to serve Christ full time. Scriptures quoted were from both Acts 3 and 4. 6Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus [...]


Have seen and heard about Wan Tan noodle along Jalan Sungai Besi, to be precious, it is located right before the U-turn, coming from Taman Desa, heading to Kuala Lumpur. Before Retna heading to the labor ward in few days time, we drove to Sungei Besi Wan Tan Noodle for dinner. The cross selling of [...]
