Instant Cyber-cafe


Hock Hin is a computer genius and a fast worker. He set up this cyber-cafe in my house within minutes. He carried all the equipment in several bags, filled the room with wires and soon we were surfing the net. Now I know how he remains in good shape despite his fantastic appetite!

Blogging cannot be any easier with all the high tech gear we have nowadays. So please continue blogging. It's a wonderful way to keep in touch and share our thoughts.

Testing


Finally got my right username which is "ongtithin". Just came back from our Chinese Congregation Parents' Day Celebration. The turnout was very good, approximately 180 and more than half were non-believer guests. Food, prepared by members, as usually was fantastic. Our Supervisor, Dr. Su, gave a lively and enlightening talk on how to keep healthy and fit. It was very well received by the audience. But I could received perhaps only 20% because he spoke in Mandarin.
I am a bit adventurous so I am also trying to attach a picture to this posting. It is a sunrise scene taken in Ipoh Garden South. It is one of my screensavers.
Grace and Peace.

I am amazed

I cannot believe my eyes when I performed a search on "Canning Garden Methodist Church" with the MSN search engine. We are listed as number 1 out of the 11255 listings. Phew that's awesome. I am encouraged and hope you are too. Lets make our blog work too especially with counselling. I have placed the metatags for all the webpages and will soon submit our website formally to major search engines.

Laugh and the whole world laughs with you.


Just discovered this fun filled website of Christian cartoon jokes. Try it out. Cartoons are free and I have copied 2 into our website. Trying to figure out how to change the cartoons automatically everyday. The URL is http://www.reverendfun.com/ .

Website now 90% complete

We have created a new look for our website. Hopefully the daily bible study notes will come out well everyday with a new topic. Most of the pages are complete with the essential details. Some pages however lack new photos. The addition of the family camp 2006 photos will be excellent. Hopefully we can get the approval of the Church leaders before our full scale launch in the cyberworld. To be seachable I need to place metatags for each of the webpages. I need more feedbacks for these projects. I am w-a-i-t-i-n-g !!

Fantastic Mother's Day

Yesterday was Mother's day and I never knew I can do so many things in a day. It was Sunday and so naturally I have to get up very early in the morning, see my patients in the hospitals and then arrive in Church before 8.15 am. (remember be in Church on time!) True enough, Pastor Ashok was at the entrance checking on punctuality besides giving all of us a warm welcome. It is always very nice to see Pastor with his broad smile.

All the mother's in Church were a happy lot. Why not? They all got a free towel! Truly it was a day to reflect on what our mothers have gone through bringing us up to be what we are today. We truly appreciate it but often enough we do not express it. So from today always say something nice to our mothers. If there is nothing good to say, just keep quiet rather than complain. This advice goes to me as well.

Dr. Su was good with his sermon on"How much to make the rest of your life the best of your life". He emphasised the importance of putting the Will of God first before all other considerations. And our need to live out His will.

Dr. Su loves to illustrate his points with Chinese proverbs. Ancient Chinese scholars were smart intellectuals. They recorded their thoughts and preserved them for generations. Dr. Su has a candid way of taking a person's weight. Oops, definitely not in his office I but only at one's home privately. Well, the way to assess whether one is overweight or obese is just simply to strip down and stand in front of a mirror. Then start jumping up and down. If you notice areas of floppy movements on the body where they should not then you have excess fat. Smart isn't it?

After service the Garden Terrace was filled with people enjoying a sumptious brunch. Mothers acknowledged our appreciation. All others acknowledged the good food. We shall have another round for Father's Day!!!!

Evening was spent with Dr. Hoe from KL who was on her way back from Sg. Petani. Still as charming as before but we couldn't wish her Happy Mother's Day. Well, well, well she is still unattached. Any suggestions?? Please email me.

Spent the rest of the free time in the evening with my boy playing badminton. Did a marathon session with our CG websiste at night. Guess what ?? I have completed the remaining webpages. Surprise! Surprise!! Please go to the website and find out more. www.cgmc.infoline.com.my One last bit to complete is the index page. I have just found an automatic daily update for bible lessons from a respectable site. Hope to put it up this week.
