STRETCHHHHHHHHHHHH
11Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.… and so that is how the money in my hand keeps stretching and stretching, and I’m never short of it no matter how bad the times can be.
12When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted." 13So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. John 6: 11-13
These verses reminded me that God is faithful. He was then. He is now. He will be tomorrow. It’s a promise He has given, but our foolishness to not accept it without doubts.
We should be careful and thrifty with our spending though, not letting any to waste, however small the amount is. Because although God’s promise stands true but it’s not to be taken for granted, for God can bless, He can also take it away.
Praise God! What a wonderful living God that we have with us! It’s amazing isn’t it? The more you dwell in His Word, the more burdens you will shed, the more your eyes will see. I don’t know about you, but I’m so excited about Him!
May He grant you peace too. Have a great weekend! :)

I’m Not Obsessed Lah! But Here’s 6 Things…
I’m (mildly) obsessed about keeping the car that I’m travelling in (as in, regardless I’m the driver or not) is driving WITHIN the lane. It annoys me whenever other cars keep eating into another driver’s lane, especially when they are negotiating a curb. It’s rude, hokay! >(
This (so-called) obsession (but it’s not lah) started the time my dad told us children “Always drive within your lane and be mindful”. See. Me good student. *beams*
Deux [duh]
I’m (also) obsessed about “perfect” parking. When I do my parking, I’d try to anticipate if my way of parking will cause trouble or make it difficult for other
Just the other day, over at my office car park, I found a nice spot, albeit it’s not really “a spot” per se, which I don’t usually park at. So I putter along to where I usually park, albeit it’s not really a parking lot (haiyah, long story lah, the car park has not enough lots ok).
After I parked at my usual spot, I kept staring at the new, vacant spot I found earlier. After 5 minutes of struggling, I fired up the engine and drove over to the new spot, parked and re-parked (since it’s not really a parking lot, I have to make sure I don’t cause any inconvenience for others mah!), and then finally was satisfied. Kill the engine and proceeded to my reading.
10 minutes later, I felt uneasy. I became fidgety. And now I kept looking over at my usual spot longingly, all the while kept arguing with myself if I should go back there or just shaddap and read (yes, I know the option is OBVIOUS -_-)
Another long story short, I went back to my usual spot loh. Hehe.
Trois [twa]
I’m obsessed about being meticulous… but only when I want to, and it doesn’t necessarily mean I must be like, perfectionist in ALL things I do, hokay?... although, I AM quite a perfectionist, but only in the things that I want to be; otherwise my façade *ahem* is more of a procrastinator, which I am too.
Sigh. It’s complicated.
But there are things that I must be totally meticulous about, and that is…
Quatre [kartr]
I’m obsessed about the things I type out in Word program. When I do type/write, I must be like, totally inspired to. And when that happens, I’ll type, read, revise, retype, realign, revise, retype, rephrase, re-read, re-read, re-read, and then only I save/post/publish. And then I’ll go back to re-read 324 times for 3 consecutive days until I’m satisfied with my own erm, humour... I do a lot of self-amusement, you see... heh.
Cinq [sank]
The same goes to HTML codes. (Disclaimer: I am NOT saying I’m an HTML expert, hokay! I just NEED my layouts to be nice, clean, aligned, and coordinated.)
Six [seaze]
I’m obsessed about being punctual (like at least 10 minutes early sorta punctual). I just need to be early for everything or else I’ll
So you know of any good, cheap shrinks?
Sept [set]
I can’t think of any other obsessions lah! *sigh long long* So I’m not really such an obsessed-freak after all, right?
Duh! I forgot to mention, this tag’s a combo from Peiling-uist and Adino the wife beater. And I'm tagging you.

Boo hoo! No More Jalur Gemilang On My Cake!
Ain’t it amazing what our big guys up there can come up with? Like, jiak bao boh dai zhi zho meh? Now that I’m robbed of my favourite Independence Day activity, what am I to do??? :(
Hokay! Too many things’ going on (in my head and outside of my head), I feel almost… like…. You know, restless, and weak! You know, wobbly sorta weak? Oh wait, if “weak” then shouldn’t be using “!” right?! Because I’m supposed to be “weak” mah! Like, boh lat like that, so how can use “!!!’s” right?
Oh gee, somebody stop me please! I’m not even a hokkien!!!
*Foo*Foo*Breath*Breath* There, there, now lemme see…
Kicking off a small biz project real soon. Pray all things will work to our favour. Oh I don’t think you’ll feel our presence not unless you’re in our area! Hah! Will (maybe) update later. [uh, Jason, is this project a top P&C thing? Erm, woops! Now the whole world knows!]
Someone need help! And we so hope we can help in all ways we can!
I’m getting a little tired of blogging but hey, I started another niche blog nonetheless. Yeah -_-
I’m looking at kick-starting a French club; simple, mindless, for good-ole-fun sorta thing while keeping my French polished while introducing the language to my friends. It’s really fun! JeeJin had a good time bombarding me with all the sweet talking words he could ever summon in English in his entire life and made me translate ‘em to French and have ‘em drafted and saved in his phone so that he can go sweet talk girls! *roll eyes* Tes yeux sont comme les étoiles dans le ciel! Pfft! *snigger*! Anyhoo! Any takers??? :) You'll learn good stuff like this above here! Girls just dig those, you know!
I’m looking at getting a MacBook, because of really good price.
I’m looking at how to get the money if I do, in the end, decide to go for a Mac, because the amount is not accounted for in our budget (yes, married people make budgets and balance sheets. *feel so adult* And we’ve just learned to look at these stuffs in a brand new light!)
One of the many reasons I’m considering a Mac is the designing tools - something much needed for another project I have in mind with a friend.
I’ve got so many TAGS to do until I sleep also dream about them! Confirm I “moh york gau” ade! Blogging’s ruling my life.
That reminds me, I want to blog about something on… uh, blogging? Argh, I’ve lost it!
Trying to grasp and apply as much as I can from my *official* financial guru. I want to disclose his name here, but what if you laugh at me? *sweats*
I’ve since love tra-la-la-ling the finance management/ management aisles in MPH. I’m looking for good books on Ray Kroc too. Tsk. What've gotten into me?!
Next month 17th is our 1st year anniversary! *gasp* so fast?! *faints* I have NO idea what to do! Zilch! Nada! Need to assemble a team of the smartest, craziest, funniest committees ade!!! Oh... did I just give away too much?
Bro Lam vetoed Jason and I to be the actors for the Charade round in Bible quiz… citing reasons such as we are the youngest in the group and that our bones are more agile. O_o''' Act. Stage. Audience. Me. Sweat.
Oh yeah! Suddenly remembered, I just gave some items for my mom to test out the market in her shop! Follow up! Follow up!
Oh yeahh!!! Another friend! Another project! OMG!
[[insert here whatever else that comes to mind later]]
Basically, my life is still a mundane, dull from-home-to-work-to-church-to-home routine, but can you see the speed of my mind?!!! It irks me so much to see all things keep flashing in my mind but always: not the time yet, not now, gotta wait till next month, next Saturday, push this forward, on hold first, no budget now, it’s only happening next week, johhhh! It’s driving me cuhhh-rahhhh-zeeee!!! I want results, and I want them NOW! *ROAR*
O_O
I think I just shocked myself there.

Open Beauty Secret: Aspirin Mask
Especially good secret that is meant to share!
Girls (and guys, admit it lah, you're vain too and you’re curious as a kitty! Nyahaha)! Introducing, jeng jeng jeng! The Aspirin Mask! (sounds so anti-climax right? lol)
Yup, you read right! If you’re a die hard beauty-cosmetic fan, you would have heard of this wayyyy before already! Yes lah, I’m slow lah. But when I first heard of it, my jaw almost dropped to the floor, I mean, aspirin?! It sounds so…. chemically wrong. I mean, ASPIRIN?! O_O
Aspirin is actually a form of Beta Hydroxy Acids or BHA’s, which are found in
many skin creams and work by exfoliating the dull, dead layers of skin, revealing fresh new skin underneath. Over time, BHA’s can help clarify skin tone and promote healing of blemishes.
After googling (love Google!) and reading about it for days, I thought how bad can it be right if I were to try, right? I mean, everyone’s using it! It’s getting rave reviews! And besides, it’s aspirin! How bad can it be right?! It won't cost me my limbs right?? Definitely not that bad lah!
So, I went out and got myself a box of (24 tablets) aspirin, whip up the concoction, and tested it on Jason. Hehehe.
What??? O_O This is call work smart, hokay?!
Oh, may I point out that, Malaysia is not a fan of Aspirin? Panadol (Paracetamol) is, Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) is not. In US, you can easily get a bottle of 200 tablets for USD 0.99, can you imagine?! And I got my box from Guardian for RM5.40! Gahh!!! Daylight robbery!
So anyway, let me just, put it bluntly, that the mask works!
Yes, yes! Here’s the recipe! Tsk! No patience!
>3 tablets of non-coated aspirins (that’s salicylic acid, NOT Paracetamol OK!), sprinkle a little water over the tablets, just a dot or 3. [edit: I've since cut down to 2 tablets per application as it gives a good coverage already!]
>Then, squeeze 2 or 3 dots of honey (yes! Those you eat with your waffles! I got mine from Tesco for RM4.50 a tub) on the tablets.
>And for a kick of AHA - that’s alpha-hydroxy acid, add a few dots of plain yoghurt to the concoction, and
>Use a teaspoon to crush the tablet, mix well. The tablets should dissolve easily and you should get a grainy texture, but it shouldn't be too runny.
>To apply, simply spread the mixture on your freshly cleaned face, carefully avoiding the eye area and from breathing in the aspirin (I don’t think it’ll cause you permanent head damage, but it’s always good to be careful, ok?), and leave it on for awhile and chill out as it dries. I normally leave it on for 10 minutes, and no more than 15 minutes, just in case it got too drying for my skin.
>After the times’ up, wash it off, and at the same time, very gently rub the aspirin grains in circles with your fingers for about 10 seconds, that’ll exfoliate your skin nicely.
>Then rinse off with water. REMEMBER to apply toner to clean off any residues, and moisturise.
Use this mask no more than 2-3 times a week. And you should know your skin better, so monitor any changes on the skin as you go. However, if you are allergic to aspirin, well then too bad you can’t use the mask.
With this mask, I have lay off buying those fancy schmancy designer products and I can see my skin problem diminishing. Jason was awed and kept raving how much better my skin has become since day one he came to know me. So yeah. :)
I’m not hard selling this, waitaminit... I AM hard selling, hahaha! But! I’m not like, getting any profit out of this hokay!
See, I lub you onot? *smile big big with expanded big wet eyes* nyahaha
Don't take my word for it! Go read up, do your own research and be equipped, knowledge is powah! *Roar* And google is a great start! Hehe. Happy masking y'all! :)

For The Love Of Tapping Showers!
So being a freak like that, imagine my delight when I first came to know about taps4less.com! I almost squeal in delight seeing all those stainless steel faucets, taps, sinks, and the endless ranges of showers and bathroom suites!
I’m so eyeing the 4-piece designer bathroom suites range! Those square-ish sinks are so old-school and clean! Oh, did I mention my love for all things WHITE ceramic in bathrooms? It’s like a pre-requisition for my washrooms. Hehe.
Do check ‘em out! And good news for the British! Taps4less delivers for free to mainland UK. So you really got to give them a thought if you’re shopping for all things washrooms!

Humming To Impromp-tuness
Well for the sake of a record and in summary: we went out of the way last evening to meet a couple from the States whom we’ve never ever met before. So obviously we didn’t know how each other look like, but still, all we could think of was, oh dear, quick, gotta beat the traffic and rush to KLCC man! They are waiting already! KL traffic! *shudders*
I was a little upset of course, I was dead tired, there have been many late nights (on weekdays!) lately - coming home late from everywhere, rushing to everywhere, going to bed at 1-ish, waking up at 6-ish, rushing to work, and its all over again, e.ve.ry.day. I thought if I continue to not getting enough sleep, I’d break down.
But yeah, we promised to meet them and even arranged for time and venue already, so we kept to our words (the irony was that, given any other times, we might very well just cancel the meeting! Not that any of the meetings are not important lah, don’t terasa, we love meeting people
So I got off work early at 6pm, rushed back to Bangi, Jason not back yet, *grumble*grumble*, Jason came back, freshen up, rushed to Palm Garden Hotel to pick up his brother who came visiting (who’ve been cancelling the trip for umpteen time!), rushed to *gulp* KLCC (I hate going down to KL! Hate it!).
But the funny part was, the traffic was almost non-existent, for a KL standard. We found a parking lot effortlessly, plus we were almost on-time too despite taking a wrong turning and had to make a big u-turn. Go figure.
Amidst the crowd, we identified the guy from afar, and his back was facing us for that matter! We ate at the food court, sharing, telling stories. And this is one true happening guy, so on fire for God! It’s amazing! His testimonies were miracles after miracles!
His American wife was so animated. Haha! Love her humour and her “roll-eyes-like-duhhh “Hairrr-loowww?!! Anybody home?!!!” expressions. And their kids were just gorgeous! Proud products of interracial union :)
Every word coming out from him hit all 3 of us in the heart, unique to each of our situation. It’s just, timely. Simply fantabulous!
I had a great time, sitting there, sponging in every ounce of the energy from this missionary family. For awhile, I regreted my protest earlier.
There’s just so much I want to point out here, so much I want to share from the meeting with you guys. So much. But hey, for now, I’ll just have to learn to differentiate right and wrong timing and place lest I be a stumbling block, aye? Pray I can be a positive testimony and be an encouragement to others too, just like Ps. Dennis, and this beautiful family…
xxx
So much for “just a summary”. Hah!

Hey, Got Face?
But I don't know how to use it. Pbbfft!
