si-weet si-weet breakfast

sometime after we start dating:

m: do u eat breakfast every morning?
w: nope.
m: yay! then i don't need to make u breakfast after we get marry!
w: errrr... but if someone cook it for me, i'll eat it.

during the trip, since i m a breakfast person, i look for food every morning.
and because we had some ribs leftover from previous night, guess we better finished it as breakfast.

m: honey, do u wanna have ribs as breakfast?
w: hmmm...
m: do u want me to make u boneless ribs sandwiches?
w: en en...

so i started to work on the sandwiches.
the meat was pretty easy to remove!
it was like conducting an experiment in the lab! haha...
and since there were too much meat left, i made another sandwich for grace too.

it was fun and i was happy to serve them.
i can't lift heavy stuff like wayne.
i don't have "moving" experience like grace.
i guess, all i can contribute to the "moving" team is to make sure they are well-fed and have energy.
when they gave me a satisfied look, i felt very si-weet si-sweet la!

not to be served but to serve.....

si-weet si-weet "watch your step"

after dinner @ A&W, there was a big step at the door.
one of us just fell over as it was getting dark.
he saw it n immediately held my hand tight in case i fell.

g: aiya... i wanna hold too.. kakaka...

although we were being teased and laughed at, i was so si-weet si-weet coz he still held my hand tight in his hand.
thank you honey for watching out for me... as u know i m careless...
thank you honey for your persistent love... not leaving me... just like Jesus...

si-weet si-weet "stay awake"

honey was the driver all the way from YYC to YVR.
my job was to keep him awake.
n in order to keep him awake, i have to stay awake too!
scratched his back, slapped his face (my favorite part =P), kissed his hands (kinda wipe my lips), fed him a smartie every two min, and opened the bottle for him to drink.
when it was around midnight, i could feel he's very sleepy.
so we decided that he should take a nap b4 we moved on.

so we waited at the gas station, he bought the red bull, had some fresh air, n we were on the road again coz it was very late.
i could feel he's much more awake now after the caffeine drink.
and our passengers were also much more awake.
then i started to fall asleep and felt the tiredness hitting on my head.
guess i was assured that he's okay, then i fell asleep w/o knowing.
but i kept waking up coz i still wanna keep an eye on him.
we got there, safely "delivered" our dearest friend home.
n he said to me " thank you for staying awake with me. I can't make it w/o you."
heehee... it's my pleasure n honor to support u. n i dunno y i'll have that energy too!

i am glad that i can go through all these things with u.
i am happy that i can help you out.
i dunno how much longer i can "stay awake" with you but i promise that i'll do my best.

si-weet si-weet washing clothes

honey just brought one tee for the trip.
i offered to wash it for him. he was surprised and felt very "好幸福啊!"
haha.. it's my pleasure.. to do sth for someone i love.
and when he accepted my offer and watched me washing, i felt very 幸福 too!

now i know and understand how happy God is when we accept His love.

si-weet si-weet prayer

i was chatting w/ sailor venus when he was on pp959, the radio show.
Click here to listen
Click here to listen the full 霹啪959 program
after he finished he called and checked if i've listened coz he had mentioned abt me!
so i waited and waited till the show is on podcast.
i listened... my eyes were swollen when i heard him praying for me.

honey, u've helped me a lot already.
as long as u let me blah blah blah when i m angry...
as long as u pretend to be silly and let me have fun teasing u...
as long as u give me a big hug when i cry...
u don't have to say much n do much... coz the healing is done by our Lord!

Thank you Lord that we can date.
Thank you Lord that we are willing to help each other.
Thank you Lord that You have prepared both of us before we enter the relationship.
Thank you Lord that You have him love me and treasure me so much.
May we bless others and spread your love just because You've blessed us together!
Amen.

si-weet si-weet summer camp


our first summer camp... haha.. i mean, the first one that we went in a "bf/gf" relationship.
thanks SS for the shaky hand making the pic very "romantic"...

i was so proud of him...
watching how God used him to lead the singspiration, i was touched!
my tears kept rolling down my chin again.
well.. sth happened around dinner time.
so at the worship time, God was telling me sth through the songs he led.
i was w/ him at the rehearsal but nothing happened to me.
it's just at that moment, i felt the presence of God w/ us!
when he came down the stage and sat beside me, i couldn't help but thank him!

and God's message was reinforced during the sermon.
i couldn't stop telling him what i had learned after the program that night.

n i noticed that not only me telling him that the worship was good, but also many others!
i could c his serving is effective.. and more importantly, i found that God was using him as His messenger!
n i appreciated that he treated the worship seriously and spent time to prepare (though pretty late) even though he's very busy w/ his own stuff.

i pray that he'll continue to serve God seriously and humbly.
i pray that God'll continue to use him.. to touch the hearts of others... and experience God.

si-weet si-weet "trash"

i took a very bad-looking picture of him one day.
i showed it to him on my MBP in iPhoto (a mac program to view pictures).

i was fighting w/ him because he tried to trash it.
i lost. he won. i quited the program to avoid him from emptying the trash.
he then emptied the trash on my desktop.
i stopped fighting.

w (regretfully): oh no... do u have anything important that you don't wanna delete in the trash?
m (teasing voice): what? you like to store your files in trash and treat it as a "folder" of storage!? just like collecting stuff in your garbage bin?

he can't stop laughing himself and tickle me..

m: And btw, the iPhoto trash is NOT connected to the desktop trash. your picture is still in the "trash" folder in iPhoto! =P

he.. desperately... tried to fight back to turn on the iPhoto... but he was too slow... that i've already switched off my computer!

w: u "ha" me
m: aiya... sorry... am i bad? should i change it?
w: heehee.. that doesn't affect my love to you.

true.. love is not based on how "bad" others treat u.
and Jesus didn't count our sins! He just sacrifice His life for us before we asked Him to..
for the "good" and the bad...

n now, i have to be careful w/ my trash folder!

si-weet si-weet assurance

i was running too fast one day, leaving his office and driving to the restaurant on my own.
on the way, i received a call from him.

w: where r u?
m: driving to the restaurant. how come you are so slow?
w: ar!!!!!!!!! i told u to park your car in the lower floor and we went together!
m: what? i didn't hear that part! n i m almost there now...
w (mad): ai!!!

i dunno what i've done wrong.

m: sorry...
w: nevermind...
m: i really dunno..... i don't mean to run away...
w: u just have to know how i do things
m: what? how?
w: i'll never leave my gf on her own. if we can do things together, do it together.

aiyo... so touching... i was told that i'll never be left alone.
the little girl mandy... feared to be left alone.. n has been left alone to face many difficulties for a few years... learned to hold onto christ tight... is now being guaranteed not to be alone anymore...
thank you Lord... for sending me someone.. physically touchable.. who is willing to walk with me for the rest of my life...

this reminded me how God promises to Joshua:

Joshua 1:5 (New International Version)
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

我 必 不 撇 下 你 , 也 不 丟 棄 你 。

si-weet si-weet identity: "ah 4"

m: do u want me to be with you during your videotaping for the wedding?
w: en en...
m: but.. what can i do to help?
w: have u seen fa fa helping dai mic when he's working as a photographer?
m: no
w: she passed him lens, films whenever he needed it
m (puzzled): but... u r videotaping... u don't need me to pass u lens or films...
w: oh right.. haha.. then u can give me a drink whenever i need one!
m (thinking): well.. afterall.. u just want me as a company... heehee...
m (replied): wow.. u have a phd as an "ar 4" to serve u! how lucky u r...

i guess.. it's always an honor to serve someone esp someone u love.. no matter what your true identity is... it's the gift that God let us to serve Him...on earth.

si-weet si-weet day day meet

i just realize that today is the first day that we haven't met in person since our first date!
i am not complaining... but i just wanna make a note...
but he didn't realize it!!! hmm... i was a bit.... %$#!%^Y%()@#
he explained:
我只係記得我每日都想見到你
ignore him
咁咪好似真係每日都見住你囉
still ignore him
個心唔係要嚟記住幾時見過你,係要嚟掛住你諗住你
oh right... what is in your heart?
what do u focus on everyday?
counting how others treat u?
or use your heart to serve others?

馬 太 福 音 6:21 你 的 財 寶 在 那 裡 , 你 的 心 也 在 那 裡
from The Message: The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being.

si-weet si-weet wedding quote

I love you because you are who you are
AND
because I can be who I am when I am with you.

it's just so touching to hear the groom said this to the beautiful bride.
yes. that's so true... i remember my honey said that to me when i kept bugging him why he loves me.
and that's also the way God loves us: even though we are sinners and don't deserve His love, He still chooses to love and die for us. Amen.

si-weet si-weet IQ question

we were sharing the napkin.
u probably remember the zoo question on how to use 3 steps to put an elephant into the fridge and 4 steps to put a giraffe into the fridge.

my question is: how can u use 1 step to divide a napkin into 3 parts?

si-weet si-weet washing

i had a fish ball and piece rice noodle w/ him last night after he threw up his lunch in the afternoon...
n guess everyone of my friend knows how careless i m that after having the first bit of my favorite fish piece, i dropped it on the table accidentally. hoping to wash it out w/ some tea but honey said it's dirty n don't eat it.
then honey gave his piece to me right away after...
later i saw him pick that up, use his cup of tea to wash the dropped one n ate it.
aiyo... accepting my carelessness. n didn't think but respond right away... that's something i appreciated.
little fish piece was dirty.. cleaned n eaten (accepted)...
just like us human, sinned, cleansed by God's blood, and being used by God again....

si-weet si-weet guardian

i had my honey dropped me off at the bus stop so that he could go to work a bit earlier this morning.
i was waiting at the bus stop, reading, thinking, looking across the street... then i saw him walking across the street and came to me!

m: what were u doing here? i thought u went to work already!
w: nope, i was watching u to make sure u get on the bus ma...
m: oh? since i was waiting? it's been at least 15 min already!
w: yeah.. so instead of waiting in the car, i might just come over and wait w/ u at the bus stop.
m: u know what... no one but my parents have done sth like this to me b4..
w: haha.. are we all spoiling you?
m: heehee... nope.. i just feel like i have one more 親人 now

his protection... guarding me whenever he can, reminds me of this passage... especially the last paragraph...

Psalm 121 (The Message):

A Pilgrim Song

1-2 I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains?
No, my strength comes from God,
who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.

3-4 He won't let you stumble,
your Guardian God won't fall asleep.
Not on your life! Israel's
Guardian will never doze or sleep.

5-6 God's your Guardian,
right at your side to protect you—
Shielding you from sunstroke,
sheltering you from moonstroke.

7-8 God guards you from every evil,
he guards your very life.
He guards you when you leave and when you return,
he guards you now, he guards you always.

suddenly i realize how God can guard us...

si-weet si-weet identity - helper

he was in a hurry to buy sth...

m: if i know it earlier, i can go get it for u!
w: but it's not on your way, how can u get it?
m: er... heehee! hai bor... sorry!
w: i know you are trying to help. you are my helper.

of cos.. i showed my si-weet si-weet smile on my face.... w/o saying anymore words.
being a helper! wow!!! isn't that what Eve's job in the Adam's family?
i m glad that... i am a helper in his eyes... thank you!
and Lord Jesus, i pray that i can be a faithful and good helper...

Genesis 2:18 (The Message)

God said, "It's not good for the Man to be alone; I'll make him a helper, a companion."

si-weet si-weet 定情信物


abt two weeks ago... i was a bit upset n he tried to cheer me up and gave me my first 定情信物: BABO
he told me to read the description n c if i understand what he means.. so i read:

"Babo is best friends with Wage... and the cookie jar. But once he gets to know you and the kinds of snacks you keep around the house... he will focus mostly on the snacks! We all know Babo's got your back, and he will stick up for you when the chips are down...unless it's potato chips. If those are down, it's time to get over to the store and pick some up. Why does Babo seem smaller? He's just too far away from you! When you guys hug, he'll seem to be a lot bigger."

so i was like.. what do u want me to pick up from these text?
fill up my snack? i m not a snack person!
then i showed him the note. he was shocked to find out it reads differently from the original uglydoll!!!

that one reads:
"Babo will protect you. Having a bad day? Someone giving you a hard time? Babo's got your back. What Babo lacks in mind power, he makes up for in love. He will stick with you to the end, and when something scary happens, he will send a nice greeting card from wherever it is he runs away to."

yeah... i know.. he just wanna remind me that he'll give me a big hug when i m upset....
thank you for the taro toast (i think it looks more like one).

si-weet si-weet testimony

one day someone ask me abt how we start.
i told her how God has prepared us for each other throughout the years.
at the end, she asked if she can use my story to teach some young people.
haha.... well.. don't use my name!
but i m so happy that our together can be a testimony, which is sth i've longed for...
n i m glad that our relationship can be a blessing to others!

Make me a blessing, Make me a blessing
Out of my life, May Jesus shine
Make me a blessing, O Saviour, I pray
Make me a blessing to someone today

si-weet si-weet lesson: ask for more

m: hmmmm good boy (for hard working at home), love u!
w: of cos! will u love me not?
m: heehee... let me be a good good girl then u'll love me more too!
w: good! then u behave well and i'll love u more n more n more n more n more n more n more
m: haha... then what is well behave?
w: well, there are many ways... for sure u know how to behave well.... when i love u till u "lone" (burnt), then u'll know
m: heehee.. i m still very white now (not burnt yet) =D
w: wow! that means not loving u enough?
m: well, there's still space that u can love me more...
w: then let me learn how to love u more...
m: haha!!! that's good! i totally respect your decision
w: :-| (this face.. haha.. i've finally shocked him! yay!! then i better explain myself clearly)
m: well, a wife should respect her husband. Plus loving your wife is the teaching of the bible for the husbands! i'll support you certainly!
w: thank you for my loving wife's support (oops! play too big tim!)
m: i am still learning how to be a wife in the future... in the mean time, i m still your girlfriend
w: haha... good good girl, i've loved u more already!

being love... is never enough... u just want more n more from the one u love.
why is that? i've learned a few months ago that there's a hole in our hearts.
the hole wants to be filled by love and that's y it'll drive u to ask for more n more n never enough.
what kind of love can fill it up?
i guess.. only the living water will do the job.

John 4:13-14 (The Message)

Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst—not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life."
