Swearin...

carmen blogs...

I just suddenly thought about this last night before sleeping. Funny isn't it. I guess it's because before that I read a friend's blog and I never thought that friend was capable of swearing that much. No names so that friend will have privacy.

Anyway, I'm definitely not a fan of swearing at all. We do say stupid, dumb or "gundu" when we scold each other. But we replace really offensive and vulgar words with polite words. Like for me instead of 's***', I say 'shoot'. I know 's***' is just waste from the body but I don't like saying it. Once in school my teacher heard one of my classmates curse and say it, then my teacher said it's in the toilet. LOL. Instead of 'hell', I will probably say 'heck'. Instead of d***, I say 'darn' (which must be polite and okay because I heard it said on a children's show). I say stinks instead of su***.

But the best has got to be Alicia's version. Instead of 'f word', she says flower. So when she is not at all happy with something she says "What the flower!". Hahaha... Funny la...

Looks like all these also has a name. It's called 'minced oath' as I found out on Wikipedia. Find out more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minced_oath .

Saturday

We went to Disney Live! Mickey's Magic Show... Thanks to a generous sponsor, all the boys here at the home had a fun time... We, Ngs also got to go... Angelynn of course enjoyed it the most... She wants to go and watch the show again... Here are some pictures we took...

Group picture... Look here, smile and wave...
Angie and Mickey Mouse...
Smile now.....

Then all of us went for lunch at KFC... I know it's one of the cheapest fast food and it isn't that grand, but I just love to eat junk food...Especially hot and spicy chicken... I know it will make me fat... But I just love junk food... Good thing I'm poor, so I don't get to eat fast food that often... hahaha... More pics...

Thumbs up to the good 'makan'...
Everyone happy and full... Yummy...
"I shy... don't take my picture..."

Our doggies having a feast... All the bones we brought back...

Sunday

So, we had Capts Ian and Isobel over the weekend... They shared with us during our Sunday service... Capt Isobel led a hymn... The particular song she led, 'By The Pathway Of Duty', she didn't like the song... I forgot why she didn't like the song already... hahaha... But she is so funny... Capt Ian shared the message on why we should use our gifts to glorify God based on the parable of the ten talents...

In the afternoon, they led a creative worship workshop... They reminded us on the concept of worship... That it's just not the half an hour of singing we do at the beginning of the service... But our lives is an act of worship... They taught us ways we can make our worship more creative... Reading out loud the Bible more expressively... Make some movements when we sing a song... Do a simple skit... And so much more things we can do to worship Him... Even more pics...

Well, that's all for now... I might not have the time to blog soon... Gotta study... My big exam is coming up... It is dubbed the biggest exam of anybody's life who takes this exam (STPM)... So hopefully alicia and caleb will blog... God bless...

aaarrrrggg.........

yesterday nights match (arsenal vs manchester united)(emirates stadium)
i cant believe that last minute goal..........

nani shud have played..he could have created more chances and might even score a thunderous goal like before......wat a waste...united deserve to win after such spectacular 2nd half...i gotta admit the first half was like dull playing from united...the only part of the 1st was exciting was the last 5 minutes of that part....
i think carrick and nani shud have been substituted earlier...o shea wasnt that much of a difference.....ronaldo couldnt do any of his trick in that match but he still got an assist and a goal...

haihzz...

today service we got Captains Ian and Isobel Robinsons..they did the sermon for today...it was great..they said we should use our spiritual gifts to glorify God and not be selfish and keep it...Captain Ian wasnt to well cuz of his stomach upset....

after service we had the worship workshop....lunch was provided...the home staff cooked for lunch....Captains Ian and Isobel led the workshop.....they really has help us to expand our worship ideas.....

i think carmen will blog more about it....the workshop that is....

Another day...

Carmen blogging...

I guess I can say that today wasn't as mundane as the other days. We had a seminar called ' Discover Your Spiritual Gifts'. Capts Ian and Isobel lead the seminar. Capt Isobel is so funny. She's the more outgoing one of the two of them. Well, we did the inventory and my top 3 spiritual gifts are music (vocal), music (instrumental) and joint third giving and teaching.I guess I wasn't surprise at the results 'cause I'm already involve. Like leading praise and worship, playing the keyboard for praise and worship ( i played last week... I'm so happy...), playing in the brass band, giving for the helping hand project and faith giving appeal, leading the youth group (which is called SAY Fired Up! our new name...so cool...) and helping in Sunday School.


I just want to thank God for blessing me with so many spiritual gifts and I want to thank Him for not taking one of my gifts away.

Here's the story on why I said this. I was going for piano lessons since I was 10. When I finished my o-levels or spm, the keyboardist in my corps kept on asking me to play for worship. I kept on giving excuses and focus on leading worship and singing backup. I knew that God could take away my gift if I didn't want to use it. He would give it to someone else who appreciated the gift and used it to glorify God. I only started practising recently 'cause my corps' keyboardist would not be able to available every Sunday. I played last week and I liked it a lot. Though it was kinda saddening that I needed that kind of push to use my gift to glorify God, I thank Him for the opportunity. I thank Him for giving me lots of time to develop my gift and not taking it away. Praise the Lord! Now I look forward to playing more often in my corps.
