A poem from Rick

I stayed at home the whole day although it's ANZAC day. My forever torturing lab report had engulfed all of my energy. After having dinner with Jono ,Guang Ming n their flatmates, i've received a text from Ricky. An hour later Ricky sent me a poem he wrote n it surely cheered my up:>Lightened my ANZAC day!!

He wrote:
Oh beautiful Ching how lovely you sing.
The words you say blow me away.
Someone so kind is hard to find.
Your heart of gold will not go cold.
Your glowing face is full of grace.
Your eyes are so bright , they shine like a light.
Your lovely smile has so much style and there is more it's your cheeks i adore.
I have written what's true and it's all about you.
I know your creator who is coming back later.
You are a child of this glorious king who loves you so much beautiful Ching.

Thank you Rick for this poem :> haha.. i'll try my best to write one for him one day :P

Easter Holidays


The highlight of my Hols is Easter camp :>

Finally i've got the chance to get out of welly n spend 3 days in a Marae in Feilding. The drive out of welly is always fabulous as i got to see the sea :>

Camp was great . I've got to meet up with Steve n a few familiar faces from Palmy:> i miss steve most as we spent 7 weeks together last summer for mission trip . Had a great chat with Ian n Steve about some of the troubles i'm facing . n it's truly touching that they understand what i'm up to n i can see their love just thru their listening ears n the way they prayed for me :> I'm so blessed to have frens like them :>

Another great thing that happened was that i had a chance to share the gospel with a Japanese guy. This guy was in my group during camp .On saturday night as Val asked us to go into our groups to discuss about some questions, Nigel n I have the chance to talk to this Jap guy. He had never heard about the story of Jesus , no idea why we celebrated Christmas ,Neither has any idea about easter . It so happened that we have the chance to tell him about Jesus , His death n His resurrection. Furthermore , We shared about how our relationship can be restored thru Jesus Christ. It was a bit hard to communicate with him as we have to talk very slowly for him to understand us . I took out my Chinese-English bible to show him some verses from the bible. In my heart i just wish that i have a Japanese bible with me or i can speak Japanese . But surprisingly Steve n Rubee had something in mind. Steve actually drove back to Palmy to get a Japanese bible for the guy ( it's a 1 hour drive). I can see the love of God n was so touched by what steve has done :> praise the LORD !!!We gave the guy his japanese bible n he just can't put that bible down the whole night . While i'm having fun playing chess with some other ppl i can still see him reading the bible . I've reassured him that he can ask me questions about anything in anytime :> Praise the LORD!!! I'm so glad that His name is lifted up during my camp :>
