Hi how are doing? Good i hope.

Today has been a rather interesting day. We went out with Eugene. First locating him was a small challenge but once we got him it was the little matter of where to bring him. There's really nothing much to see in miri so its hard to know where to bring people out to.

We ended up having lunch at 2020. While there i observed a man dividing one bottle of liang teh {forgive my spelling if i'm wrong} into 4 cups and i thought to myself, wow imagine that he has to share almost everything he has into 4 parts, or more. It reminded me of something pastor said; marriage is the most unselfish thing anyone can ever do. Something to ponder on.

We heading to bintang for some window shopping, ended up buying a book. Yeah another book. At this rate i'm going to need a place to put all these books so that i have space for other things. Its getting scary la.

Since we've not been to DeliFrance, we thought its worth giving it a try and my goodness was it ever so mahal. Needless to say i won't be going there very often.

We went to EYM later in the day and after everything i only got back home at about 12 something. Its just about 1 am now and my eye lids are closing. Listening to Chad Blondel's chase album. Haven't really had the time to listen to it since Ben died centuries ago. Thanks to Delia, its now in my itunes library :)

Good night, and remain blessed

putih tikus

Where have all the white mice gone? A few years ago white mice where everywhere. White was officially the color of mice and even keyboards but these days its very difficult to see them.

Since i'm getting a white dell, i though why not get a white mouse to complement it since my black logitech mouse is now...well, rosak. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for any shop that sells good quality white mouse but haven't found the one i like.

Logitech has these mini mice that are white and other colors but its not the kind of white i'm talking about. I'm yet to go mouse hunting in miri but i feel that if i can't find it in kuching then i won't have much luck in miri.

But then apple has a white mouse, the mighty mouse but i'm not sure if it is supported on windows systems. It would be kind of cool if it works though :P

Let me know if you find a white mouse for me {guchiguchi [at] ymail [dot] com}

{update}
After giving it some thought, and quite simply tired of looking i've decided that the color of my mouse does not matter. I was thinking of the mighty mouse from apple but it looked so fragile and nice, i don't think it can take my daily abuse. So its probably going to be a logitech. I'm not sure which logitech yet but it definitely won't be white :)

{update 2}
I need to be careful with my words. Guess what, today i went to town, determined that i didn't want to spend the day at home, all bored and wondering why in the world i came back early without a computer. And went to boulevard and there it was. A white mouse from logitech. Some more its a wireless mouse and instead of the normal optical mouse i used to have its a laser mouse. They say its suppose to work well on any surface. So i.....got it. Couldn't resist :P


Isn't she beautiful?

I read my gmail thanks to Joshua borrowing me his wife for a while while he attends a pre-marital seminar. And Dell is estimating my Delia will be here on the 28th. Thats the first day of school. I just hope i get it earlier. I don't think i want to keep borrowing people's PERSONAL computer.

Cat lover

Hello everybody, how was your week?

My week was quite interesting :) had two boxes of big apple donuts on saturday with Robert and Amanda. Went to the spring, twice in one week, bought a few things among them was my very first Giordano t-shirt. I have three now but the previous two were gifts from friends.

Sam's gone to australia :( going to miss him.

Going back to miri tonight, thanks Oliver and Joshua for picking me up.

Ok i want to talk about something. In many ways i consider Kuching as a home away from home. I feel very relaxed here. Its like every chance i get i come back to this place and everytime its been different. The last time simon was here and we worked together, had devotions together and we helped plan for the camp among other things. Simon is another guy who's left for perth. I dunno why every one is going to perth these days but anyway, its always refreshing to meet almost everyone even for a short while, to see the changes, the ahem, couples :) err let me take that again.

Its always refreshing to be able to meet the people here. I like that i get the opportunity to serve at bethany, thank you pastor for giving me that opportunity. And i like that i get to go out with different groups of people, go for movies, laksa, coffeebean or just drive around looking for blank cds hehe. I like that bethany is still here and is growing. There are a lot of new faces, some people i don't really know well but its still the same bethany, i still can meet with God, i still can join in the worship and feel the presence of God. There is something about this church that makes me always want to come back. In many ways i think i come back to draw strength, to be encouraged, to be motivated, to believe more.

I like what shellyn shared on saturday night. It really ministered to me. She was sharing from Psalm 139, one of my favourite Psalms. I've tried to memorise it but still miss a few bits here and there but i was reminded that God indeed cares for us, and that everything we need for the journey he has called us to, for the work he has placed in our hands, everything we need to get the job done is inside of us, He put it there. And its for us to bring it out, to step out in faith, to... like pastor said put legs to our dreams and vision and stop day dreaming. It sounds so simple but it really encouraged me.

Many times fear and doubts cripple us and we begin to what if, and analyse, and all that but this is the God who parted the red sea man! What is difficult for him? I just hope i can continue to remember that when doubt comes and i worry, to be like David, say bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within me, bless his holy name. To be able to look to the hills where my help comes from because its not about me, its all about Him. And if we are faithful, he is always faithful. Amen.

I'm going to miss you all in kuching :'( hope to be here again some time.

3rd year doing this blog thing

This is the 260th post i'm making on this blog and my 3rd year blogging here. I've been blogging a long time, since 2004 but my previous posts where elsewhere and i don't read them again.

I guess its worth stating why i blog again. Well the short answer is to keep in touch with my friends and let them know whats happening in my life. I've talked about this before and have asked you why you blog. Here are a few reasons some of you blog. They have been slightly edited but the full uncut reason are here in the comments.

I thought bout d very same thing b4 i started bloggin.Was skeptical bout it, thot tat its very fake. Bt i was touched n encouraged by some writings. They manifested God's love n it really spoke to me. So i started bloggin coz i wan to share what i'm goin thru n what God has done for me.Maybe it will encourage others s well. i mean how can we keep it to ourselves good things that He has done?...we can relate to others thru bloggin s well? hehe...well tats wat i think....:) {shellyn}

i blog for others esp my friends to see what's happening in my life and to keep contact with them.

And also, blogging keeps me thinking and helps me to improve my language. Lol~ i realise i read more once i started blogging, cuz i wanna improve my writing ma..indeed, i learnt a lot of new words =) {chris}

hahax...
i blog because it's fun..
let other noe wat's going on wif me...
and also,improve ma language!!! {yan hui}
Over time the look of the blog and the content has changed. A lot has happened over the years, and without recounted them i want to give thanks for everything.

I guess one challenge each time is to like shellyn said in one of her posts, to be real. Its very easy to pretend and make things up to spice up the blog and make it more interesting to read, get a lot of comments and boost your self confidence but i feel its sad if you need all those to boost your self confidence.

I don't do this for popularity, i don't do this for money, i do this because i love to and i need to express myself in words; the best way i know i can and yet have come to the realisation that sometimes words fail.

For the future, i hope to continue blogging, maybe host a blog myself. I've been thinking about it for a long time now but haven't made any concrete decisions yet but it will happen one day.

On a final note i would like to thank you all for also sharing your life for me to read and being part of this weird way of communicating ideas. It would be only one way if its just one person writing. Arigato Gozaimasu.
