Discovering God from the life of David

Last Sunday, we attended a teacher session by Teng Yang on discovering God from the life of David. The speaker brought us to see the content of the book of Samuel. Briefly we were told the life of David and his surrounding events and peoples. That was very brief and easy to follow. The history lesson led us to study Psalms written by David. Psalm 23 is somehow very special. It can be used in good time and bad time. The psalm was probably composed around the time when David was selected to be future king by Samuel (when Samuel went to Jesse's house). Each phrase in Psalm 23 has attribute of God. The audience were inspired to explore each of the phrase. And the session was indeed inspiring.

He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, a]">[ a ] I will fear no evil,

Of Penang foods

Over the weekend, we went up to Penang to attend a friend's wedding. Stayed one night in Prai. Then the next day crossed over to the island to savour the local delicacy. Of course in the eating list were Char Kuey Teow and/or Asam Laksa. Unfortunately, the Char Kuey Teow in Ayer Itam was rated average only. Our local tour friend then brought us for Asam Laksa, with fish meat in Farlim's developed shop area. Rating: below average. Next we sampled the hawker food in Jalan Macalister. Section 17's "Ample drink" is way much better. Another disappointment. Before we left the island, we stopped for cendol somewhere near the Komtar. That was ok; the taste was similar with the one in Melaka. Finally, our friends had prawn noodle. By that time, SY and I were full. According to our friends, the taste was somehow not as good as their previous visit. There's nothing to hype about the food. Probably I will give a credit for the wedding dinner on the first two dishes. No f

From east to west and back to east

Micah was flown to PJ to be with his parent last December. Then he got to spent his new year with father's family in Sandakan. His last stop was back in Sibu where he was united with his grandma. Of course, his mum would miss him when he's not around. The plan is for Micah to come over to his parent this coming May. You may be asking after 2 months separated from his maternal grandma, can he still remember her? Of course no especially at his current age, his memory is very short term. But some how he knows who is his real mother. Strange...
