WELCOME BACK!

These past few days have been a great time! =) Talking together, singing together, shopping and all the other things you can think of! It's great that my sister had a weeks break off her studies.
She has been so stressed and tired that this trip is also a sleeping and recouperating time for her. We're going to Burmese school tomorrow to visit the kids and pass out the snacks left over from the Tehs! =)

good times....

The Tehs and Rachel was here for 5 days! =) They taught Character First and they did a great job. We went to two schools, two mountains and just enjoyed each other's fellowship. The kids really enjoyed the night that they held the chalk talk and gave out the bomerangs! The analogy was great, telling us that whatever we do, it'll come back to us. Our speech and our attitudes. Just like the bomerangs. Today they've left and the house is quiet again. Thank you for coming! I'll never forget our supper times!

26+1 = 27!

27 Blessed years together! Dad and mom you both has been an example to me and I'm sure to many others. Time doesn't prove how blisful marriage is, but its the love in the years that prove. I can see the love for Christ in you.

For a little get a way time, we went for a road trip up to the mountains. We let open our truck's windows and took in the fresh air and the scenic view. We had breakfast at a cafe in a flower garden and had a good time! =)

Please Pray...

Nin jar is a sweet boy that has been in Baan nana for less than a year. He has been such a cheerful, bright and active boy. Recently he has lost his parents both to cancer.

Just last week, he went back to his country to study further. I'm sad that he has left, but I'm glad that he wants to pursue to study further. Please pray that he'll keep God close to his heart, and he'll not pick up bad things and he'll know what is right from wrong. Thank you! :)

a "t" but also a cross!

Every time kids do say something funny that you'll want to remember. Yesterday while teaching at Baanana, they just cracked me up.

Me: What letter is this? (* draws a "t"alphabet)
Kids: a cross!!
Me: (started laughing) yes it is, but it's also "t"!

I'm really happy that they have the impression that I like to teach them about Christ.And when they see the cross or "t", it reminds them about Jesus! =)
Seeing them learn is a blessing, being with them is being blessed. Yesterday, Kannah ( a boy that is a little bit slow in learning) could finally remember how to write his name in English! I was so proud of him!

Tissue (literally) has been helping me alot too! Everytime the kids get any squable and they really do kinda fight ( with a real tight fist), I hand out the "magic tissue"
The magic tissue does clear up quite alot of tears! And of course I do talk with the offender.
Teaching this little kids has taught me alot of stuff and I'm happy for that! =)

BNN News: Painting...

The kids were painting the meeting hall! Although I don't quite agree on the colors it is going to be worth it! The kids had their share of fun and I had my share by looking at them.

Previously, the NTU team from Singapore had scrub the walls outside and painted them. Now the kids did the inside of it. ( the walls were painted with mud last time!)

I'm sure this Sunday will have a different atmosphere! =)

Scenes from Laos

This is our third time entering Vientiane. This time was for the same reason, our visa.

We praise God that we're permitted to get an O visa! This means that we could stay for 3 months and with later extension, a year!

We traveled there by train ( it was comfortable!) and took another train which brought us arcoss the border. I was allowed to take some photos in the cockpit! Anyway, below are scenes from Laos that never fail to amuse me. There is always something unique around the corner. It just stands out!

DOULOS!

I was really excited while going up the stairs to the ship's deck. I was sure there was going to be books awaiting me to read them!
As you enter the deck, there was a huge crowd with a curtain of heat. No fans and body heat everywhere. But as I saw the books staring at me, my mind was turned over to them.
We found some really good books for great prices you'll never find!
As we left, a crew member handed out tracts and a booklet of the Gospel of John! =))
The trip was well worth it! I was happy enough to carry it with me to Laos too.

BNN News: Mother's Day Celebration!

Decorations all done and dances all prepared! It was a day where the kids thank God for their moms! Some parents came down for the celebration although most kids either have one side of their parents or none.

Mothers and a dad was up there giving advice and sharing about how BNN has

helped them.

Kids that don't have parents came to the staffs for a hug. Many of them were in tears, as I saw sadness in their eyes I teared.

But aren't we a big family? Love you all!

Pray for them as they're missing their parents love and that God will be their comforter and their refuge of strength!

Proud to be a Singaporean!

Today is National day in Singapore! It's 44th year of independence. Such a young country some of you might say, but to me it's my country where I was born and brought up. In fact, the President has never changed since I was born. Haha!

Today we got to watch the Parade and celebration live on the internet. The connection was real good today and we got to watch the whole thing without the internet lagging. Thank God! =)

Aaragon's catch!

Aragon has catched flies,birds and his favourite-frogs. This was his first catch of something different, a RAT! A HUGE RAT! I've never saw such a big one, it must have been eating alot.
It reminds me of this movie called "Ratatouille". Rats cooking up delicious meals,talking and doing things like stealing. Anyway, here goes the photo!! Sorry if you're an fury animal lover, I am too, but just not rats! =))

Post blessings!

Birthday presents doesn't have to come on your birthday, it could come a month after too! =))

My present from my brother and my parents came a month after. Haha!

Parents got a keyboard which would be use in ministry if possible!

A package came from my brother, Cds and pretty paper! =))

Love you each one of you!

Kids day out! =))

This was after their performance.
I'll let the pictures do the talking!
