随着岁月成长。。。蜕变。。。 Growing through the years… transformation…

人说小时候长得好看,大了就不好看;小时候不好看,大了就会变成好看。。。
你们赞成吗?这是什么道理啊?
但老实说,这种话,听听玩玩就好了,无需太认真也无需为之辩论得面红耳赤。。。

我只知道小狗都很可爱,大了有一些真的变得很丑;而小鸟刚开始非常丑,越大就越美丽。。。
那我呢。。。?哈哈!

我小时候常为自己的长相感觉自卑,越大或越“老”自信也逐渐增加,但那并不表示我认为自己变得越来越好看,而是经历及认识了神,内心世界、价值观等等都会起了变化。。。
但我也相信,一个有自信的人,怎样都会比较有吸引力,只要不要过度而变成自高自傲。。。

Some say if you were good looking when small, then you will not be good looking when grown; and if you were not good looking when small, you will grow up to be good looking…
Do you agree? What kind of logic is that?
But honestly, this kind of statement is just to listen for fun, there is no need to be too serious about it, less so to argue over it…

All I know is puppies are very cute but some grow up to be real ugly; and nestlings start off very ugly but become more and more beautiful as they grow…
Then what about me…? Haha!

I often felt inferior about my look when young, but as I grow “older” my confidence increases too. That does not mean I think I have become better looking but rather after encountering and knowing God, your inner self and value system etc will start to change…
But I believe too a confident person is somewhat more attractive too, as long as it is not too much and perceived to be arrogant or proud…

看看我成长中的照片,我最“美丽”的时刻是几时呢?哈哈。。。
我将会刊登一篇有关此主题的文章。。。
Look at my growing up photos, which is my most “beautiful” moment? Haha…
I will post an article on this topic…

婴孩。。。  baby…

两、三岁时吧。。。  Round about 2 or 3 years old…

四、五岁?  4 or 5?

七、八岁?  7 or 8?

十一、十二。。。  11 or 12…

十五岁。。。 15 years old…

十九岁。。。19 years old…

今天,几岁。。。?  Today, how old…?

    Growing through those years, from a small kid to a matured person above 40, you should be glad that you still look young. However, a matured man like me, who is above 33 years old, I would not like to look like a youngster when I am 40 plus. I would want myself to look and grow with the years. As most ladies like matured look men, not youngster’s look.
    Youngster’s look only attracts small kids, schooling students, and the grandmothers’ type of categories. No offence. Just want to share with all men, be your original self at your matured age, it will be far more attractive to ladies and even men! e.g.Mr. Keanu Reeves. the ‘SPEED’ hollywood superstar. He has his own matured style which really attracts ladies and men! Matured and unique stylish of his own.

      Haha, guess the saying “one man’s meat is another man’s poison” is very true indeed… This kind of thing can’t be too objective. It all depends on your motive, reason, target etc…

    哇!很有价值的照片哦!给我感觉在这几张的照片里特别是在您两、三岁 时和你现在的脸孔会比较像,原来牧师您这么可爱的,一看就感觉你是个很乖巧的孩子…更何况是现在的您呢!
    我想你妈妈也会因你美丽灿烂的生命为荣..。
    因主耶稣你美丽灿烂的生命也影响了许多的人…。
    …值得…值得…。

    • http://gtlim.com gtlim

      谢谢,也求主保守!

        Amen !

  • grace chan

    我们很蒙福哦!有机会看你那么宝贵又有记念性的照片!很好看!你小时候很可爱!
    男大十八变。。。发觉当一个人越爱上帝,越爱读上帝的话,越爱亲近上帝,会变得越来越好看,越来越有上帝的荣美!!!

    Pastor,since small till now,you really looked different in each photos…your last photo looks very attractive n nice looking.Though you look very young but your thinking is very mature that attract many to come and learn from you. To stay young as years goes by is not easy.But i believe when asked from God to give us a young look he will. Who wants to look old?

  • Angie

    Yes, God is too awesome in my encountered. The host of all play in this world had become meaningless this time, if God is not included. And this is how I have encountered him.

  • Jane Doe

    Oh! Your hair started to curl when you were 19?

    • http://gtlim.com gtlim

      Ya, actually after puberty… grew worse as the years went by…

  • Jane Doe

    I think I looked cute when I was a toddler, then turned pretty ugly when I was a teen, and then as I grew more confident with myself, I looked pretty good now. Hehehe.. It all has to do with the “inside” factors I guess

  • Titus kho

    今天,几岁。。。? Today, how old…? 天天28….. 哈哈哈哈哈。。。。。有点跨吧。。。。。

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000349727253 Alison Yu

      Titus….do you want your head to be on the platter….not our gentle and good tempered Pastor….but his faithful fans and supporters….you are doommmmm!!! Heheh……

  • http://gmail.com mikeling

    Ya, definitely nobody wants to look old.
    Surprisingly, all ladies commented they like cute and young look guy, but men’s comments
    are exactly the opposite! Ladies must be all youngsters, I suppose, no offense.
    Matured look does not mean you should look old. No! Grown adult with the look of maturity, in the sense of processing all qualities of confidence, a clean-cut appearance, excellent ways of speech, consideration, politeness, gentleness, presentation of self-esteem at all occasions, etc.. lastly, dress-up and hair style must coordinate with our age. Men are courageous with ‘age’! Yahoo! No offense again. Everybody will one day grow old but you
    can still look good naturally at old age, right? A lady of 60 years old dressed up 30 years younger, looks terrible, dont you think so? Please dont bombard me, just to show the scenario…….
    Attractive to both men and women means the outlook appearance admiration only. Not ‘Gay’
    type of thinking, hahaha……

    • Alison

      Hi Mike…thanks for the long and windy comments…that reminds me not to dress like a 30 yrs old or I will look terrible…by the way, what would you advice a 60 years old aunty to wear? Nowadays women of all ages seems to be wearing the same dress code..business wear for business..T-shirt and jeans for casual..a 60 years old aunty use that in our church and a 30 years old Young Adult also use that…so I am lost here and need some advice… ^_^

  • 小羊

    您baby时,不知多可爱多俊美呢!没得嫌咯!只是在长大的过程当中,每个人也都会经历不同的改变。。。。。。。无论变丑变美或变帅,每个人都还是觉得不够美,不够帅(哈哈!)。。。。。。。我看您啊,乃是越来越有帅气噢!(我个人觉得您留了胡子,虽看起来很man,但似乎较苍老了。。。(:p)。。。在您拍第16张专辑照片时是最帅的。)总之,有自信的人,才是最吸引人的。

    • http://gtlim.com gtlim

      你的审美观跟以上 Mikeling 的看法相反。

      • 小羊

        哈。。。哈。。。哈。。。!各人有各人的看法嘛!但,不管您变得如何,我们还是一样爱您的,因为您是我们的牧师啊!

    • Alison

      Xiao Yang, you are good…

      • 小羊

        哇哈!Alison,您的看法跟我一样噢!。。。嘻嘻嘻!。。。

    Just for curiousity and fun, Alison, are u a mother ? How old are u?
    You really, really, really very protective, a bit out of track in defencing your pastor like a hen
    protect her chick. No wonder he always stays at 28, hahahaha…….Dont get angry, just for fun……….No hard feelings……otherwise I will be stoned by you, to death, no lah, have mercy…..hahahaha

    • http://gtlim.com gtlim

      John, Alison is not just a mother, she is already a grandma… Ya, you are right, she does have a tendency to do things in the extreme…

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000349727253 Alison Yu

        Hi John..it just happens that I know Titus and I am just teasing him for fun. I believe you are not from our church or you could read between the lines…hahaha…
        Pastor…as for the extreme part I am trying hard to learn to control…give me time to improve… >.<

  • ESTHER CHIANG

    牧師,您在這裡的〝自信〞是指〝內心對神的信心嗎〞?我認為外表的帥與美雖重要,但卻不是最重要的,我認為的〝帥與美〞是一種發自內心對神的相信及其身上所散發出的愛、單純及智慧。
    ps:你小時候真的好可愛哦!但看起來好像蠻嚴肅的喔!
    咦!怎都沒收到您〝部落格的消息〞啦??

  • http://gmail.com john

    Auntie Alison,
    Regret for if anything I mentioned seems a bit rude, please accept my apology.
    I am from Methodist church, George Town, it happened that I received a new CD of your pastor from a Kuching dear
    friend and went to log in the blog and found that wow, lady and young members of your church really protect and praise your pastor, many comments are good, seldom bad
    one. I am astonished that you said you are a ‘fan’ not ‘sheep’, but anyway, he must be
    popular like a STAR in your heart, right?

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000349727253 Alison Yu

      Hi John, that is ok..if your comment had been negative or rude it will never appear in Pastor’s blog. I just take it as a joke..hehe..it is something new to be called a mother hen. Btw fyi Pastor do not need us to defence him..he is a lawyer (graduated in NZ) Please come and visit our church in Kuching, you will see that Pastor teach his sheep well. We do things with 1 heart, young and old alike. Pastor just has to annouce it in church and we will support him. We all respect him very much. “Fan” why not “sheep”? Well, we are all his LKK sheep and people who have visit his blog for sometime will know that we are his sheep by the way we call him…just Pastor..not Pastor Lim or GTLim.. We are also his biggest fans I believe..if he holds a concert or any events the whole church in purple T-shirt will turn up to support him…rain or shine we will be there with 1 heart. For instance, the 16th May Go Bald for the Cancer Children fund raising at the Spring you could see the purple crowd flooding the mall to give support. But as soon as Pastor left with his new look, the purple crowd also disappeared. Hope this explain your curiousity. God bless you abundantly. Amen!

    ** 佩璇的留言。。。

    牧师,我曾经听过这个道理,我常常听到大人这么说,可是我不赞成波!因为我现在长得很好看,我不希望以后长大了就变得不好看了波!哈!哈!牧师,看着你的相片,我觉得你现在的样子比较帅哦!牧师,我猜你今天34岁,牧师,我猜得对吗?因为我的老师怎么样都不肯告诉我们你今天几岁了,也不肯告诉我们你结婚了吗?因为你让我们模糊了,我们又没有看到你太太的相片,却又看到你已经有很多儿子了,牧师,你怎么只生儿子,没有生女儿的,我们都很奇怪啊!唉!牧师,我们已经问老师快要一年了,老师都不肯告诉我们答案波!老师说如果想要知道答案,有两个方法,那就是第一个方法,每一个星期日到教会去听你讲道,听着听着,懂数学的人,加一加再减一减,就知道你今年几岁了。第二个就是条件:在这里补习的12位学生,每一位都必须拿第一名,老师就说出来。牧师,个个都要拿第一名,哪里可能!看来我们是怎么样都不能知道真正的答案了。
    唉!不说“伤心“事了,告诉你开心的事吧!今天我们看了你的部落格后,老师就给我们一人一小张的纸,里面写的是满满的歌词,都是耶稣的歌也!还有一句经节,这经节是要背后星期二要考的,考得到95分以上就有一张sticker也!我们正在很努力的收集sticker哦!因为达到目标就有奖品拿啊! 我们今天又唱又跳的多开心啊!跳得好也有sticker拿也!老师说,下个星期六还会教我们唱新歌呢!我们唱着跳着,不知不觉已经九点了,很可惜不能继续的唱下去,因为星期一三年级还有月考,我们只好乖乖的补习了。牧师,我们今天都很开心,真的真的很开心!

    ** 晓薇的留言。。。

    牧师,我不赞成!不赞成!因为我们曾经猜错了答案,那就是你还记得吗?你叫我们猜你全家照中哪一个是你,我们看到现在的你很帅,都猜小时候最不帅的那个是你,结果我们个个都猜错了,原来最可爱的那一个就是你,从那时侯开始我们都不再相信这个道理了,因为我们都被这个道理受骗了啦!牧师,我看着你的相片,我发觉你越来越帅气满面,我在想,是不是一个人只要好好的信耶稣,就会越来越漂亮,越来越帅呢!因为我从你脸上看到了,你的面貌不断的在改,耶稣让你焕然一新,改成了现在很帅很帅的你,牧师,你要谢谢耶稣哦!因为现在的你真的很帅很帅!我猜你今天23岁,因为19岁过后应该是23岁了吧!牧师,我猜得对不对?

    **晓玲的留言。。。

    牧师,我们今天非常很(的)开心,因为老师教我们唱歌呀!老师教我们唱的歌和学校的不一样,那就是补习时唱的歌越唱越开心,我们唱的(得)都很不想停啊!老师教我们唱的歌是:一切歌颂赞美,赞美,还有一首就是最好玩的歌,我头我肩我膝我脚。老师叫我们围一个大圆圈,一边拍手一边唱,老师还教我们比动作呢!有找朋友,手在打滚的动作,有扭腰儿的动作,还有很刺激的动作,那就是我头我肩我膝我脚,又上又下的,越唱就越快,好刺激啊!我们很快的就学会了,我们唱着唱着都还想在(再)唱呢!可是,老师说已经九点了,我们还要做功课,因为我们星期一还有月考呢!可是没关系,老师说,如果有补习,每一个星期六补习的时间都会给我们半个小时的时间看你的部落格,半个小时的时间唱歌,跳的(得)最好的学生,就有一个sticker拿,收集到了十个sticker 就有奖品拿了,牧师,我很开心啊!我已经拿到七个sticker了,因为老师叫我写部落格我就写,老师叫我勤劳学书我就学,老师叫我比动作我就比动作唱歌,我的功课每一科都拿到90多分,老师说我很乖,但是我知道我不可以骄傲,这样才能够常常拿第一名。牧师,我还有话要和你说哦!其他的学生都猜好你今天几岁了,我因为星期一有月考,不能写很多,我星期一会继续写,你要等我哦!

    ** 晓玲的留言。。。

    牧师,我终于可以和你说话了。可是我答应你考完试后就写留言给你,但是我却因为想写却不知道要写什么,我想了一天,我终于知道要写什么了。牧师,我曾经听过小时候长得很丑,大的时候就会长得很帅和美,可是,这句话我是一半相信一半不相信 bo!最好这句话是不对的。因为我现在很好看,如果这是对的,我长大后不是变得不好看了吗?我希望这句话是不对的。我想小的时候长得比较丑的人也不要为自己的长相感觉自卑,因为这不是我们的错,小的时候长得很美的人也不要怕,要相信牧师你说的话,我们只要好好的信耶稣我们就会越来越好看,就像牧师你一样,越来就越帅了。牧师,我猜你今天35岁,如果猜错了,我就在(再)猜你少过35岁吧!因为你看起来真的很年轻啊!我在你的相片里,我觉得现在的你最帅,你越来就越好看!
    牧师,我今天很开心,因为只有一个星期的时间,我已经收集到10个sticker 了,我也拿到奖品了哦!是一枝很漂亮的按笔,我是第一个拿到奖品的也!牧师,我还要告诉你一件事哦!那件事是:每一天我们都有30分钟的时间唱耶稣的歌,还可以跳呢!每一个星期六老师就会教我们另外的三首新歌,因为每天都唱,老师教我们的那三首歌,我们已经会背了呢!我们都很开心,因为每天都能唱耶稣的歌。牧师,我还有话要和你说,你要答应我哦!牧师,我很想很想看你带(戴)眼镜的样子,你可不可以拍一张你带(戴)眼镜的相片,放在部落格里,给我们看呢?我想你带(戴)眼镜的样子一定很好看。

    there are a lot of Peters in our Church – im one of them FOR SURE (hahahah – sounds/ talks like Peter lei…^___^)

    anyway – one thing i notice SINCE the day i “came” to Church… i always “see” the glow on Pastor’s & face. Then i started abserving Worship Team’s face & it becomes my “hoby” for quite a while 2 find out IF the “glow” is consistent.

    True enough till this day… many ppl look so much better after sometime in Church. I guess part of it is cos of consistent spiritual cleansing, healing, deliverance, feeding, renewing of mind, filling of the spirit & WOG, His joy, Love, etc etc… “personally” i see the “glow” as the “glory”… it originate FROM the SOURCE … ^__^ my 2 cts…
