A bit Jazzy about this song.
No doubt, it is well written. I admire artistes who can compose songs different from the Jay's (Jay Chow) style. Many artistes like to imitate the JC's move and it makes us think that the whole chinese music industry is dominated by a sole taiwanese music artiste.
I guess people just like it J. Does anybody do David Foster for a change?
Anyway, this is one of the Wayne's Highly Recommended hits. Enjoy folks!

Sliced Pork with Onion Gravy
Came out with another new idea of cooking pork.
First, the pork must be seasoned with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides of the slices.
It is then grill on a flat pan until it is cooked.
Prepare some sliced onions and spring onions and fry them until you can smell the aroma.
Pour in the mixture of ketchup, oyster sauce, honey and salt and stir together with the onions for 2 minutes.
Serve the pork slices together with honey onion gravy and fresh carrots.
Sounds easy? You should try it!

Trip to Sungai Petani
Back from Sungai Petani (SP).
My first sight gave me an impression of a slow development in this district, which is made up of new residential areas and a slight increase in factory and company establishment. The new local government should work harder to turn SP into a modern hub to attract more people to work to battle recession. If more vacancies are offered, there will be more people reallocating to this place, and this will help to overcome the unevenly distributed population at a few major cities like Penang and KL. I really hope that I could move there if I were offered a place to work. I would definitely do my best to make SP a better place - the paradise second to Heaven.
After so many times of invitation and finally I have made up my mind to pay Daniel a visit in SP over the weekend. Although it wasn't a trip because most of the time were spent in the church, but I would say that I really enjoy accomplishing something meaningful. At least I know that I get to know Daniel better after years of separation. It's all about brotherly sharing again this time. We hit the incredible 5 hour sharing until 5 in the morning.
The next day with barely a 4 hour sleep, we skipped breakfast and went straight to Daniel's church (Grace Methodist) to conduct a physics tuition class for the 4th formers. It didn't take me quite long to comprehend some of the forgotten rules and laws in physical science, before I made my way to the whiteboard to draft my "first lecture". To my surprise, the kids love my teaching. Before going off, they even asked me where I can be reached for problems and when I will be doing my next class. Saddening for them to know that I was only visiting and will be leaving on the next day. But I really hope to go back one day to finish what I have started. It is not only my passion to teach but also my passion to see the kids, who didn't want to study initially, find themselves rooting more into the subject. I guess this is what God wants to see in us, as well, to be excellent in spirit.
I attended 2 services at my first and second day of my stay. The first service was in Mandarin. It's very lively in terms of its praise & worship and the Words. You can actually see how the people in the church responded to the message. I discovered that majority of the Christian dare not express their view of agreement when the Word of Righteousness is proclaimed in the sermon. The adults, inclusive of the senior citizens, were responding so well to the message as they were shouting to the air with agreement. To make the statement more astonishing, half of them are not highly educated. The fact is, they have been relying on the strength of the Lord for His wisdom, so that they may have a joyful and livelier life, even though they don't make much of their earnings with their jobs. They really earn my respect on this.
I blended in quite well with the Youth during the Youth service. Clear observation tells me that the youths in rural area are different from the youths I met in city. The youth in the city churches won't talk to me if they are not familiar with me and more and more of them are having their own clicks. That's why some of the visitors to the city churches might feel unwelcome due to a cold welcome from the authorities. Conversely, it is more welcoming when I was in Daniel's church. The youths were offering to buy me dinner because I had to wait for Daniel to debrief his church leaders after the service. Some of them even took their initiative to arrange transportation for me without knowing that I would be following Daniel home. One thing which surprises me is that they don't really know me not have I met them through introduction, but still they were willing to spend time making their visitor feels like home.
Kudos to Daniel and his church. I think he has sacrificed more than anybody else to build up the church and the youth. I believe the youth will be ready after their secondary school to serve outside their primary church. May God bless them abundantly.
It is really an eye opener over the weekend. I am hoping to see more surprises and witness more transformation on my second trip to GMC.

God is ahead of us
1 Then Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel: 2 "I am now a hundred and twenty years old and I am no longer able to lead you. The LORD has said to me, 'You shall not cross the Jordan.' 3 The LORD your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua also will cross over ahead of you, as the LORD said. 4 And the LORD will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, whom he destroyed along with their land. 5 The LORD will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. 8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. 8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
-Deuteronomy 31:1:8 -
This command was passed down to the Israelites from Moses during the hand over of power to Joshua, the son of Nun.
The Israelistes were preparing themselves to cross the Jordan river to take possession of the land promised by God to their forefathers. Primary intelligence gathered by the spies illustrated that the land was pre-occupied with fierce and vicious aliens, who owned extra advantages in their physical construct when it comes to battle and war.
Moses who was, at that time, old and senile brought forth the message to his people that he might not be able to lead the people anymore into the battle to claim possession of the promised land. But he knew perfectly well that God will prevail and he undoubtedly passed down the message of God that The Lord will cross over ahead of the Israelites and they will take possession of the enemies' land soon after(v.3).
In verse 3 and 7, there is a special anointing from God to Joshua, a man of great Faith, allowing him to join battle with God (great commission) and to be the first to cross the river ahead of the rest of the Israelites. The punchline of this verse remind us to have faith in God. The Lord will be ahead of us in reality and in the present, for the various challenges that might seem insurmountable, or even sometimes, getting out of hand.
God may just want our allegiance and obedience for a return of an abundant blessing. And to have Faith is the only way to live and grow in God's spiritual realm.
5 The LORD will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
The Lord further reassured the Israelites with with the statement in v.5-6 that He will go to the battle with them and will not forsake them as they charge themselves with the courage God has emboldened them. This statement is also a reassurance for us who are living in the world of suffering and tyranny.
Therefore, be strong and still in God because only the man who has these qualities will be commissioned for God's mighty works. Fear not the obstacles but fear God for He has made way for perfect resolution. HE is always ahead of us, even long before the obstacles strike us as He is the way to all problems.

中秋节
月亮圆，月亮圆，月亮照在我的家...
当我远在英国时，根本感受不到中秋的气氛。
有时还想着，到底英国的月亮有没有我家乡的圆？
已经四年没有庆中秋了，今年的中秋节特别有感触。
记得小时候有着灯笼提，还绕屋旁走，好不快乐。
想不到今年的中秋，又让我回想当年的同乐。
就因为我有一些幼小的表弟妹，嚷着要提灯笼，所以我妈特地的买了很多的纸灯笼，准备今晚来点亮我祖屋。
灯笼在月光下闪耀着
被挂在树苗的灯笼
中华的象征
树枝挂满了灯笼
其中的两个较漂亮的挂饰
中秋节当然少不了月饼。有我爱吃的单黄豆沙！
咦，谁在偷吃月饼？小 G-ROFF 被抓包了。
怎么没有和朋友分享呢？
G-ROFF：因为月饼太好吃了！
好啦，大家一起来分享吧！
除了吃月饼之外，为各位带来一首动感的"跟着月亮慢慢走".
中秋节快乐！

Chicken Curry
Decided to cook again today.
According to my calculation, it's been 8 months since i last cooked my favourite Chicken Curry dish.
There is not a single problem trying to get all the ingredients that i need in Penang if i need to compare the availability of the ingredients and herbs when i was in the UK.
I noticed that British only use limited herbs to cook their meals. Or sometimes, they are just being contented having fast food.
I like all these junk food but i am sure it will burn a big hole in my pocket. That makes me more willing to simply cook and eat at home.
Here you go again, another nice dish to ease my starvation.
I am kind of addicted to eating the violet cabbage. Probably because of its colour which improves my appetite.

Nothing special on my menu. The idea just sprouted like that when i was still fetching ideas from my little brain.
The product of this dish may seemed to look a bit like what you can find in the western menu but i assure you that it is of the chinese's.
The ingredients for this dish.
Yum yum...let's dig in.
