Sri Lanka Missions Trip May 2011

The last trip I had was back in July, 2008 to India. Liz went last year in October, and this year we were able to go on a trip together as a married couple.

They say that when we choose to serve God despite the difficulties you face in life, He honours that commitment and obedience. No matter how absurd things turn out in life, there’s always that reminder that God has the best plans for us and His ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts far greater that ours.

And I’m trusting Him for that breakthrough.

Singapore 2010

It’s always great to end the year with a holiday getaway. Feels nice to just be in a “foreign” place for a few nights.

The Christmas decorations were still up ..

Just outside Cathay. The weather was great for walking about in the city.

kids with glowsticks!

Some light painting fun during the year-end barbeque in KK.

Sabah 2009

It’s been a restful, fun end to the year 2009!

GTPJ Young Adult Retreat @ Lanjut

A good refreshing and relaxing weekend over at Lanjut.

Beached …

Because …

For others it was mostly …

Rediscovering His flow

Refreshing like a morning dew

Receiving fresh fire & anointing

To continue burning

Kids had lotsa fun too!

And so did the daddies.

post India missions trip

India was quite the experience.

It was not as tough as one might think (maybe it’s just me) but nevertheless, there’s always work to be done. If there’s one statement I’d make about the trip, it’ll be this:

It’s humbling to know how little they have, and how much they do with it, compared to how much we have, and how little we do with it.

Hi, we’re leaving tonight on the 8:20 pm flight to Chennai.

Here’s the map of India, and the rough itenary. While you look at this map, do pray for the team as we share and proclaim God’s Word in the land!

mom’s birthday dinner

Liz and I travelled down to Yik Kee Restaurant, Karak for my mom’s birthday celebration with Aunty Nioh. Uncle Nioh’s so cute with his roundish features and small eyes.

Can you guys guess what the first dish is? Leave a comment! It’s a specialty.

Guess what kind of food this is?

Still guessing?

Any clearer? It’s a specialty food.

Fish, fabulous FISH! (Sadly, it was named “Krai”)

My mom and Aunty Nioh celebrating their birthdays together!

Yik Kee Restaurant was one of the restaurants I grew up frequenting, whenever our parents were thrown business dinners in Karak. Brought back many memories, just eating there.

I am back! (part 2)

The second installment to the update of our trip back to Penang over the long weekend!

I am back!

But still as busy.

It was a good break for myself, and Liz too. I asked her to come along, cause a break will do her good too. So .. we took a slow drive up, stopped by Ipoh for snacks (but didn’t know where to go .. so didn’t have nice food .. at all. Coffee was good though.) and arrived in Penang in time catch lunch with James, Carol and Bryan. Here are some shots!
