Child protection training

Date: 23rd February 2009
Venue: Eaton Hotel, Hagley Road

I attended a Child Protection Training at Eaton Hotel. I think it's quite a
"posh" training because we had it in hotel where coffee, tea and biscuit
were served. I was so surprised that the lunch was served too....

I prepared my own sandwiches the night before as lunch was not
provided for previous training course, and i have to starve and get a
bus and travel about 15 minutes to the other town just to get a
sandwiches... jia lat!!!!

Through this training, i understood more about child protection. Child
protection is not a troublesome matter, it is a MUST.......

Venue: our home

If you do not know Tean's Gourmet..... I really want to intorduce
to you this Hokkien Mee's paste... It's super nice...
no word to describe............ It really taste like Penang Hokkien
Mee..... Even Malaysian Delight restaurant also can't prepare
such "authentic" Hokkien Mee.......

It's very easy to cook...

2) Boiled water & add in the Tean's Gourmet's Hokkien Mee paste
3) Slightly boiled the mee & bean sprout to make it soft
4) Ready to serve

Both of us were like never taste Hokkien Mee for 100 years.....
We felt very overwelmed and blessed.... haha...

looking for a stand lamp, so she offered to buy for us when she was
at IKEA.... and not only that, she even gave this as present to us......

Thanks Jill

Jill will be moving to a new apartment soon after staying for about
36 years in the house in Bournbrook Road. She's giving away
FOR FREE some of her furnitures and utensils....... I have got
2 book racks from her. I'm very grateful for her kindness.
She told us that she got most of her things in the house from
other people. Other people gave generously to her, now she
also wants to give generously to other who really need the
thing.

She's really a women who has Jesus's heart. Although she is old
and is not physically fit, she still think of visiting & praying for
those who in need. She can't drive as she's under medication,
she will walk or take bus to visit people at home............
What i could say is..........Thanks Jill............you are super!!!!

I am a friend of God - Chris Tomlin

God is just like our friend. He offers comfort when we are sad,
He encourages us when we are down, He listens to us when
we need a person to talk to......... He shares our happiness when
we are happy, He shares our pain when we are facing difficulties.
He is still be with you when other people turn away from you....

God is the friend of mine...... i am the friend of God....
