超過睡覺時間了....有點睏...

Went to my supervisor’s home for a lunch gathering today. It was very sweet of her to invite us over. She made a lot of foods for us but it was a really long 3-hour lunch. We sat outside in the backyard with high temperature of 95 in Ontario. I didn’t quite understand why we had to sit in the heat while the air was on inside the house. =P
These are the baked stuffed sausage. The little people picks look so cute!

My supervisor has a 3-year-old boy who is an obsessive fan of Spongebob. Everything is Spongebob all over the house, the pillow, lamp, towel, cup, chair, clothes, and much more. Robert was also obsessive with Spongebob when he was little. Didn’t know Spongebob’s popularity lasts this long. =)

Tonight I took Robert out for dinner. There are a lot of new shops in Chino Hills and I wanted to try a place called "Senor Baja" for its fish tacos. I was so disappointed...I'd never go back again!!! >__<

What a lovely and blessed day…
Thank God for a Saturday filled with blessings!

Thanks to my dear friend, Sherry, for treating me lunch and taking me to the beach. (Congratulations for getting your first paycheck!!!) We had lunch at CPK, one of my favorite restaurants. I’ve been to many CPK at different locations, like Tustin, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Arcadia & Brea, but I would say the one in Irvine is the best one so far. The spacious interior with glass windows all around just makes the restaurant very stylish and elegant. Of course the foods are always so delicious.

Since we didn’t have any plan for the day, we decided to go to the beach to relax a little bit. Thank God that the weather was just perfect and the ocean was soooo beautiful. The turquoise ocean is just like the one in Hawaii!! (I still want to go to Hawaii!!!! =P) There were so many surfers there. As I watched them, I’d learned that surfers have to have A LOT of PATIENCE!! They waited so patiently for the right waves to come in order for them to ride on the waves.

God’s creation is indeed splendid, magnificent, marvelous, amazing, incredible, wonderful…far beyond words can describe!!

超過睡覺的時間,明天有時間再補一些心底話和照片!

Yeh!! I didn’t have to work over time today cuz’ the power would be off for construction or maintenance reason. I couldn’t stay longer even if I wanted to. =P
This morning I rushed to 貴夫人 bakery to get red bean bread 紅豆麻糬麵包 before heading to work. I went in there and saw someone who looks so familiar and guess what! I saw my dentist and he was there buying breakfast too. What a coincident!!

Ok, I am going to take a short nap now………zzzzzzz

It's a long day at work. 9 hours of working time with only 30 minutes lunch. Feeling so drained and feeling like all the energy has been zapped out of me. It's been like this for many weeks and my desk at work is a big mess with piles of papers and test booklets all over. Endless phone calls & messages. The hardest part is to deal with those difficult parents!! Sometimes I just can't believe that parents would be that rude!!!!

God, I really need Your favor, Your wisdom & Your strength!! God, carry me in Your arms, I am so tired.
This picture brings a smile to my face. sweet~


I've been craving for red bean stuff for the entire day....紅豆餅,紅豆麻糬麵包,小羊羹...

剛看完姊姊的blog
沒想到姊夫還蠻貼心浪漫的呢....兩個還去海邊漫步
在這裡給姊夫鼓掌鼓掌!!!!
兩個人的時間其實是很重要的
無論是正在戀愛的情侶,即使是結婚的人,甚至是有小孩的人都應該和另一半有quality time.

常常在一起久了,都忘記了有了對方是如此幸福
或是因為時間久了,好像一切都變得很平淡無味,不會去珍惜
有時後在餐廳吃飯的時候,看見夫妻或是情侶吃飯一句話都不說
沒有表情,沒有任何聲音,各吃各的....完全沒有溝通
這跟一個人自己吃飯沒什麼不同吧.....

Investing in your relationship and spend some quality time with your love one!

Our mails got stolen!!!

Last Friday night my dad was doing his bills and he wrote all the checks and had them ready to send out. He thought he might forget to mail these payments so he put them in our mailbox on Friday night around eight. He'd never put mails at night before. It was very unusual for him to do that.....so the next morning, which was Saturday, around 7:30, my parents found that all the mailboxes on our street were open!! Our mail got stolen!! My dad got so worried cuz' he wrote eight checks for all the payments for the credit card, water, electricity, hospital, gardening, waste management and other two stuff.

We think it's better to have a police report on this. Since I didn't know what number to call, I dialed 911 for the first time! Well, the operator told me that I should not call 911 for non-emergency case. About 10 minutes later, a sheriff came over to our house and the sheriff said that we should NEVER put any bills in our mailbox, which is used for receiving mails. We spent a lot of time doing a very detail police report. Besides that, we made a lot of phone calls to the bank and credit card company.

What happened to our neighborhood safety and security??
The moral of the story is....never put your mails in your mailbox at night. If you need to send your payments by mail, go to the post office!!! Be careful everyone! =)

Hollywood Bowl

Hollywood Bowl Walt Disney's Fantasia Firework video clip

我的自拍照...

結果爸爸看我拍完自拍照說他也要來個自拍照....結果還不賴呢!
爸爸照完還粉滿意呢...技術不錯技術不錯!

Went to Hollywood Bowl with church people on Saturday. It was really awesome to see all the families getting together. We had picnic together at the park before the show and then enjoyed an evening with music, cartoons & fireworks. We watched Walt Disney's Fantasia with fireworks and it was really good for the entire family. Even little kids were able to sit still and concentrate throughout the concert because there were film clips on the big screens while listening to the orchestra. Mickey was there too! =)

Here are the photos!!

Miracle...NEW leaves!!!!

Last time I received the yellow mini roses in a planter but the flowers withered the next day after I got it. I guess it's all because those roses did not see me when they came out of the box! (somebody opened the package for me last time! =P)

I wanted to throw it away because it was all dried up and just looked totally hopeless. But then I thought I should at least try to save it! I've been trying really hard to nurture this half-dead plant day and night. Thank God!! New leaves are growing!!!! I am so excited and surprised! I guess this photo makes my blog even greener!! =P

Last week was a rough week, both physically and emotionally. Thank God for carrying me through. =)

Have a blessed week everyone~~
Thank you all for reading my blog!!

Beracah means Praise 比拉迦就是"稱頌"的意思

Welcome to my Valley of Beracah~

2 Chronicles chapter 20 is one of the most victorious battle stories I've ever read. It really amazes me how the entire nation came together in unity before God, how powerful praises & worships are, and how God delivered King Jehoshaphat and his people from the hands of their enemies.

It all started with King Jehoshaphat's decision of seeking help from the Lord and all the men, with their wives, children, and little ones, also gathered together from every town to seek before the Lord. King Jehoshaphat prayed to God, "For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You."

The Lord said to the nation, "Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's...You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you...Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you."

Then King Jehoshaphat and the entire nation bowed down and worshipped before the Lord. They also praised the Lord with very loud voice.

On the day of battle, King Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise Him for the splendor of His holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: "Give thanks to the Lord, for His love endures forever." As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the enemies and they were defeated with no one escaped.

On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah, where they praised the Lord. This is why it is called the Valley of Beracah to this day. For the Lord had given them cause to rejoice over their enemies.

We might encounter different challenges in our lives and we feel so powerless and do not know what to do. When we are willing to seek God and fix our eyes on Jesus, we will have the faith to trust and believe that He will help us to face these challenges with His mighty power and lead us into the Valley of Beracah.

I think, the Valley of Beracah is.....
a place filled with praises
a place filled with worship
a place filled with glory
a place filled with thanksgiving
a place filled with victory
a place filled with joy
a place filled with peace
a place filled with the presence of God
I truly believe. God always blesses those who seek Him.

Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Praise be to the Lord, for He has heard my cry for mercy & showed His wonderful love to me. Sing to the Lord, praise His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.
