Johanna's Jaundice reduced to 53! and Weight Gain to 3.53kg

Thank God again that our baby girl has overcome her jaundice. She do not have to go the KK hospital anymore. Praise God that her weight has increased.

Children Learn What They Live

Students sometimes asked me,"Why must study?" Academically, they differ. Some are really good and do not have any worries to pass exams. While some are so "bad" that parents must send them to many tuitions. There is something that I agree with the teacher from the Japanese show "Gokusen". Study so that we can learn to overcome difficulties in the future.

Children Learn What They Live

If children live with hostility,
they learn to fight.

If children live with ridicule,
they learn to be shy.

If children live with tolerance,
they learn to be patient.

If children live with encouragement,
they learn confidence.

If children live with praise,
they learn to appreciate.

If children live with fairness,
they learn justice.

If children live with security,
they learn faith.

If children live with approval,
they learn to like themselves.

If children live with acceptance, and friendship,
they learn to find love in the world.

Mom in hospital

mom went to hospital due to bleeding of a ulcer in her stomach. Still in Changi Hospital. Hopefully, she can be well and go back home. I am more afraid of pain that she has to bear and also endure all the breathlessness. God please protect her.

Tomorrow will be Horng Dar's Big Day. Hope all will go well. Long time never attend wedding already.

Johanna's Weight Gain

Thank God that Johanna's weight has improved. Last Friday was 3.050 kg. Hopefully will continue to grow.

Johanna's Weight Gain

Johanna's weight is not improving, which is still a concern. Weight on birth is 2.695kg, weight now is 2.680kg. Hopefully, there is nothing wrong with her. God, may you please help her. Thank you. Josiah having his common test this week. Thank God that he is a good boy and he does his work well. Thank God for the kids! And may you continue to protect them.

Johanna 's One Month

Thank God again for His wonderful grace for my family especially for Johanna as she has turned one month old. The concern so far is still her jaundice and her weight. Her jaundice level has gone down, Praise God! However, a greater concern now is her weight. She has yet to gain more weight. If no improvement in this coming month, then got to worry already. Well, our Lord will protect her.

Here's two great photos taken by Kelvin. Thanks bro! Cell members came to our house to celebrate her one month. Thank you guys! You are all very kind and supportive!

I would like to say to Jonathan, it is encouraging to see that you have sacrifice much for the local artists in Singapore. Not many has such a outreaching heart. This is something I am impressed. Whatever your future lies, I will always support you and keep your family in my prayers. Sad that Singapore Art Cafe has ended its journey today. Anyways, your experience is not wasted! Good job bro!

Hannah pass away.

My friends, Francis and Victoria's daughter, Hannah, passed away this morning. Nothing else to say.

Friend's Wife Committed Suicide and other bad news

1. Just came back from my table-tennis friend's wake whose wife passed away because she jumped down from 14th floor at Block 504. The cause was extreme depression. My friend is holding on strongly though he has 3 kids to take care by himself. Its hard. DO cherish our family members while we can.

2. Furthermore, my daughter's jaundice has reached a level of 268. If it reaches 300 she has to be admitted. God, please protect her! Will bring her to see doctor to check her jaundice level two days.

3. My another friend, Victoria's daughter, Hannah, is now in icu fighting for survival. O Lord, please protect her and her family.

Whoever is reading this, keep us all in prayer. Thanks!

My Baby Girl Johanna - God's Gracious Gift Born on 17th July 2008

Thank God that my daughter arrived safely and Grace is also saved. I thought I almost lost both of them. Grace lost blood due to the breakage of the placenta. If I had sent her slightly later to the hospital, my daughter may not live. I want to thank God for being Gracious and merciful to my family. She is indeed a gift of Grace from our Lord Jesus!

Father Touch My Heart - Indonesian Song - you will be touched!

Lyrics

How much I loved everything that was done
Never alone to run this life
always be with me

How much I realize in my this life
You always give the best plan
because of love

Father touch my heart
Change my life to be a brand new one
Like a pure gold
You mold my vessel of heart
Father teach me to understand
a love that always give
Like a flowing water that never been stopped

Your love o my Lord
is never been stopped

———-

Betapa ku mencintai segala yang tlah terjadi
Tak pernah sendiri jalani hidup ini
selalu menyertai

Betapa ku menyadari di dalam hidupku ini
Kau selalu memberi rancangan terbaik
oleh karena kasih

Bapa sentuh hatiku
ubah hidupku menjadi yang baru
bagai emas yang murni
kau membentuk bejana hatiku
Bapa ajarku mengerti
sebuah kasih yang selalu memberi
bagai air mengalir yang tiada pernah berhenti

kasihmu ya Tuhan…
tak pernah berhenti..

Five Loaves and Two Fishes - Corinne May

Great Lyrics! Oh Lord, help me to trust You more in my daily providence.

"Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as you will
I surrender
Take my fears and my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all to feed them all"

I often think about that boy when I'm feeling small
And I worry that the work I do means nothing at all

But every single tear I cry is a diamond in His hands
And every door that slams in my face, I will offer up in prayer

So I'll give you every breath that I have
Oh Lord, you can work miracles
All that you need is my "Amen"

Full Lyrics Here

Corinne May - Same Side of the Moon

Guys! I love this! Soothing!

Corinne May - Beautiful Seed

Lyrics

I can fill the darkness with just one flash of light
Break the the silence with just one word
Warm the fire-started revolution
One that can save the world

On the steps of Washington sprinkled like confetti
Thousands of people sing, "We shall overcome"
The preacher shouts, "Let freedom ring"
He gave his life for what he believed

You can be a witness, you can be a prophet
You can make the whole world believe
Break the strongest fortress, change the way the world thinks
You can build a bridge where foes can meet
Hope for the future, shout it, don't whisper
'cos dreams are what we make them to be
There is hope in every heartbeat, tiny as it seems
You're a beautiful seed

She's a pastor's daughter, she's only sixteen
But her heart and her belly are breaking at the seams
Her boyfriend blames her, he wants to pay
For the doctor to wash it away

As she lays in the hospital, a Christmas choir is singing
About a child in a manger fragile and small
"Unto us is born a Savior", she looks at her baby and cries
As she sings him a lullaby

You can be a witness, you can be a prophet

You can make the whole world believe
Break the strongest fortress, change the way the world thinks
You can build a bridge where foes can meet
Hope for the future, for the tiniest whisper
Dreams are what we make them to be
There is hope in every heartbeat, tiny as it seems
You're a beautiful seed

Every hope, every power
Lies in the heart of a seed that flowers
Intertwined all across the land
We're all seeds in the maker's hand

DVD Recommend - Untraceable 2008

Just finished watching this show at my mom's place. Slow at beginning but nice to watch. Exciting to see how the victims are killed. I give it a 6.5/10 lah. Worth the rental.

Summary

A secret service agent, Jennifer Marsh, gets caught in a very personal and deadly cat-and-mouse game with a serial killer who knows that people (being what they are - both curious and drawn to the dark side of things) will log onto an "untraceable" website where he conducts violent and painful murders LIVE on the net. The more people who log on and enter the website, the quicker and more violently the victim dies. Written by McCormack (www.imdb.com)

Shining Monument 鳥山雄司 Yuji Toriyama

Check this out! Very nice with the guitar and sax. This song's from his album "deep city traveller". Anyone has it?

Now performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams), August (Freddie Highmore) uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth.

Corrinne May performs Beautiful Seed on piano - Enjoy!

Corrinne May (born Corrinne Foo May Ying 符美芸) is a Singaporean singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles. Born on January 19, 1973, she was named after her mother's favourite song, "Corinna, Corinna".

Corrinne studied in Raffles Girls' Primary School, Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) and Raffles Junior College. She later majored in mass communications and English literature at the National University of Singapore. Corrinne left Singapore to further her music education at the Berklee College of Music, where she majored in songwriting and film scoring. In order to pursue her dreams in music, she moved to Los Angeles in 1999.

Corrinne co-wrote the song "If You Didn’t Love Me" with the legendary songwriters Carole King and Carole Bayer Sager as part of her winning entry in a songwriting competition on the music industry website Tonos.com. Carole King & Carole Bayer Sager wrote the lyric for the song and entertained submissions for the best musical accompaniment and melody. Corrinne's version was the winner. The song is featured on Corrinne's debut album. Corrinne has met Carole Bayer Sager but not Carole King.

Her song "Journey" was featured on the Taiwanese drama Dolphin Bay Lovers and was covered by popular Asian singers Angela Zhang and Gigi Leung.

Corrinne’s cover version of the Burt Bacharach classic “Close to You” was featured prominently in the movie “So Close” released by Columbia-Tristar films (2002).

In September 2004, Corrinne May became the first (and only) artist singing exclusively in English, to be signed by the record label Forward Music in Taiwan, which distributes her music to Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong and China.

Went to see the gynae with Grace today. Did a scan for our daughter. Baby is fine. Praise God! We still have not confirm the name for her yet.

Another useful TIPS. (I use this often)
===========================
If you need to use the easier way of right click, copy or move folder, use the following method.

To add this option, run the Registry Editor, and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers. The shellex name tells you that it’s a shell extension key that lets you customize the user shell or the interface. Create a new key called Copy To. Set the value to {C2FBB630-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}. Create another new key called Move To. Set the value to {C2FBB631-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}. Exit the Registry. The changes should take effect immediately. The Copy To Folder and Move To Folder options will appear.

My First Blog

Well. My first blog. This date June 9 2008. My student, Ivan and Melvin reminded me to start a blog. And here it is!

Went to Davis guitar and Yamaha today to check out some 5 string basses. Tried a YTD and a Yamaha B 615 . Doesnt like the tone. However, the Microbass II preamp is great. Plug a passive bass into it and the tone turns out great!

Hopefully, you guys can share your thoughts. Share anything lah! Comments about some of my favourite music artists/albums or games are welcome!
