The morning was spent at Church and I served at Hopkids. Dressed like a ranger and brought the new panda puppet to entertain the kids during huddle time.

Lunch was sushi bento.

The family spent the afternoon packing for Harbin. At first each has a luggage so that the family can take a single taxi in China. Deb say we can choose 6 seater, so we pack extra luggage and pack with ease. Alternatively, we can take two taxi or mrt. The hotel I have booked at near mrt station.

Family dinner was at West Mall. Rach lost her ear bud and need to get a new one, I pay as a gift for her. We also need body moisturizer. 

After dinner was black pearl dessert. By then I was tired as I need not rest in the afternoon.

We did devotional sharing when back home. Mat shared. He read! There is this online girl mushroom that challenge Mat to read the daily bread.

We shared about reconciliation. The passage was from the Christmas story, about God reconcile with man through Jesus.

For me the first thought is reconciliation with Rach.

 Daniel 1

v8: But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's food, or with the wine that he drank. 

v21: And Daniel was there until the first year of King Cyrus.

It is a job that Daniel do not choose to take up. He has no choice but Daniel resolved that he will do what is right before his God.

He was away in this foreign land, doing this pagan job, including forced to condone many practices that he is not used to or "not right" before his God. Daniel see this as a God assigned job and he did it for 70 years.

In the first year of Cyrus, the Jews were allowed to go back to Jerusalem. Nehemiah went back, so was Ezra. But Daniel did not and according Daniel died in a foreign land.

How do I take my job and what was my God assigned role in this world that is "not right" before God?

It has been some time that I have tangent moving away from God. I am not sure of any resolution that I will keep the remaining 30 years of my life like Daniel to resolve doing the rights before God.

I start today as a journal, later continue to pray, seek God and for my family.

Wake up late because there is no 8am class. Do breakfast with Deb - prata. She bought Ice Milo, which I commented expensive. She said she would buy and was willing to use her own pocket money. Simple she like it and enjoy it for breakfast. [10]

Went to the dentist. Listen to sermon on the way. She suggested to have 3 tooth remove. She clean the upper right set of the gum and teeth. It had occur to me that I really need to take care of my health. Must really take care or oral hygiene, eat well and exercise. I weigh and realized I lost 3kg. [210]

I can only measure blood pressure - need to keep down through exercise and hopefully cholesterol also go down.

Came back - setup Test 3 and Final Test paper for 44IOTG. Then cycled to work at 5pm. I realised I miss the award ceremony when the alarm rang at 4.45pm.

Went for evening class. Did only "diode" and left the "transistor" part to next week. 

Received CADS notes and will be preparing for it. Not difficult - programming, python.

Also SIM asked me for interview.

Came back around 10.30pm. Poured Rach water as she was not feeling well. Eat dinner Rach brought back from mum house. Watch Independence Day with Deb.

5 Jul 2016; Eph 5: 6-10

5 Jul 2016; Eph 5: 6-10

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:6-10 ESV)


The one who deceive are the ones who do not know the truth about Christ, about God and the plans He has for us. They will continue to walk in darkness caliming what they know or do is correct - the way.

My object of faith is God in Christ that die for me that I am have life. Not by works to accumulate goodness. As such we walk in light in the Lord, made children of light. Not that we do - trying to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.

As such we who have Christ and know God, walk in light - good, right and true. We do not partners with those whose disobedience force them into darkness.

4 July; Eph 5: 1-5

4 July; Eph 5: 1-5

Walk in Love Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. (Ephesians 5:1-5 ESV)

Walk - be alive. We are made in the images of God, as His beloved children. Therefore like Christ - walk in love - for the purpose as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

On the contrary, we are alive, for ourselves. We enjoy this life (no wrong) but to an extend made pleasure out of sex (which God made for the purpose of marriage, be fruitful and multiple and populate the earth, so that it we inherit the earth.

But sadly, sexual immorality, impurity and covetous became rampant and became part of life.

I pray that this sin be away from me - let no filthiness in sexual impurity cause me to be separate from the purpose of God. That I will be a fragrance to Christ - as is proper among saints.

29 June 2016; Eph 4:25-32

29 June 2016; Eph 4:25-32

I have been reading these verses over the last 3 days, trying to memorize them.

Basically - 4 things that Paul mentioned to avoid - put away falsehood, do not let angry go down with the sun, do not steal and lastly let no corrupt talk come out of your mouth. Also 6 things to prevent - bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, slander and malice.

All so that we talk in truth, let the devil has no grip over us, do honest work so that we can give or share, that what come out of our mouth be good for building each other up. Be kind and tenderhearted, forgiving one another.

It is about how we walk when no one is watching, how we react against our neighbor, how we perform in public and how we speak to our neighbor. Basically our response and walk when no one is watching and towards our neighbor.

For me I must watch how I walk and behave and response when in private. Let the devil has no grip over me that I may walk in righteousness and not be a person who walk in falsehood.

Press on into God and do not grieve the Holy Spirit. Be right, walk right, talk right and do right.
