这几天都超忙,或没机会上网,所以没办法更新网站消息,现在印尼万隆休息,刚好晚餐地点能上网,就抓紧机会放几张照片跟大家分享一下。。。
Been very busy these few days, or no chance to go online, so I couldn’t update my blog with news… resting in Bandung, Indonesia now, and where we are having our dinner now happens to have internet service, so I’m grabbing the opportunity to share some photos with you…

第一场布道会,2月26日(五),棉兰。。。下午在现场排练。。。
First concert, Feb 26th (Fri) in Medan… rehearsal in the afternoon…

布道会现场。。。

工人在安装录影器材。。。

可以感觉他们非常认真的主办布道会。。。
Could feel they are very serious about organising the evangelistic concert…

当晚要购票才能入场,而且最贵的票还高达印尼币五十万盾(大约马币150令吉)!
You need to buy a ticket to enter, and the most expensive ticket even costs 500,000 Rupiah (about RM150.00)!

人家这么认真主办,我们当然排练也不可疏忽,每首歌每次一定都要试过。。。
When they are so serious in organising, then of course we must not be careless in rehearsing as well, must go through every song again each time…

背景很夸张吧?下一篇再上载正式演唱会的照片给你们看。。。
Very elaborate backdrop, right? Will upload photos of the actual concert next…

妈妈好像越来越瘦了。。。 Mum seems to be getting thinner…

Date : February 28th, 2010 | Category : 部落格 Blog

这是大年初一跟妈妈在教会拍的照片,妈妈真的看起来好瘦,叫人有点担心。。。
This is a photo taken with mum on the first day of Chinese new year in church, mum looks really thin, rather worrying…

想当年我大学毕业时,她身材还略胖。。。
Considering when I graduated from the university, she was still slightlly plump…

记得2003年爸爸去世过后,妈有一阵子吃不下饭,体重下的离谱,健康亮红灯。。。
I remember in the year 2003 when dad passed away, at one stage mum could not eat anything, her weight started to plummet, and her health was alarming…

后来轻微中风,记忆力消退。。。要不然她真的很棒,没读过书却能记得大卫王的家谱,他祖母、曾祖母是谁都晓得!。。。可怜她现在记性比较差了一点。。。
Then she suffered a mild stroke and her memory deteriorated… otherwise she would be really great, without any education she could remember King David’s genealogy, she knew who King David’s grandma and great grandmother were!… pity her memory is not as good now…

但感谢主,后来她食欲恢复了,有时吃的还比我多,虽然身体看起来还是那么瘦。。。看到她能吃我就开心,尽管有些东西吃了她肠胃不太能吸收,只要她喜欢我就让她吃,因我认为年纪都那么大了,能开心的吃自己喜欢吃的东西,何尝不是一种快乐?
But praise the Lord, her appetite returned, and sometimes she eats even more than me now though she still looks thin… Seeing her ability to eat makes me happy even when sometimes her stomach cannot quite absorb certain food. As long as she likes it, I will still let her eat because I think  to be able to enjoy eating the food you like when you are old is also a kind of happiness, don’t you think so?

愿神保守我亲爱的妈妈,身体健壮,平平安安,天天喜乐,阿们!
May God protect my dear mum to be strong and healthy, and to have peace and joy in her heart always, Amen!

我唯一的弟弟,义威,家里第十一位成员。。。这是我帮他拍的,那时我才12岁,技术不太好。。。
My only little brother, Gee Wee, the 11th sibling of the family… This was taken by me, I was only 12 then, skill not too good…

看我跟他像吗?。。。弟弟在1979年,未满九岁,就因肾脏衰竭回天家了。。。
Do we look alike?… In 1979, my little brother, only 8+ years old, went back to be with the Lord due to kidneys failure…

弟弟断气前,就只有四姐在家陪着他,是四姐教他祷告呼求主。。。(图:四姐淑洁、我和弟弟)
Before he breathed his last, my 4th sister was the only one accompanying him at home, it was her who taught him to pray and call upon the name of the Lord… (Pic: 4th sister Siok Kiat, me and my brother)

这是我跟弟弟最后一张合照。。。虽然难过,但却是因为他的离开,妈妈信了主。。。改天跟你们分享他的见证。。。
My final photo taken with him… Though we were sad, mum came to the Lord because of his departure… will share with you his testimony some other time…

凌晨三点多就起床,有些人搞不好都还没睡。。。搭乘早上六点的班机,好讨厌这种时间赶飞机,但因是一大夥人,为了省钱,只有这班机最便宜,所以就折磨自己一下。。。
Got up slightly after 3am, guess some people were not even in bed yet… we flew the 6am flight, really hate to rush for flight at this kind of hour, but since we travel in a group and to cut costs, this is the cheapest flight available, so self-torturing for this time…

前三天教会都为着国家、教会和布道会禁食祷告。。。今天终于可以吃了,却是吃“麦当劳”!唉。。。
The church been praying and fasting for the past three days for the nation, church and our mission… finally we can eat today, but it’s only McDonald’s! Sigh…

看我睡眼惺松的样子,喝杯咖啡提提神。。。下一班机下午3点10分!
See my sleepy look, drink some coffee to keep myself awake… Next flight at 3:10pm!

这次例外人也有来。。。两位成员好像临时有点更改,哈哈。。。
This time The Remnant come along too… looks like there is a last minute’s change to two of the members, haha…

不知不觉。。。时间过得真快。。。 In the twinkling of an eye… time really flies…

想当年。。。秋天,在纽西兰基督城坎特伯雷大学毕业。。。看我手上拿着的文凭。。。可不是盖的!哈哈。。。
Years ago… autumn, graduated from University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand… see the certificate in my hand? It’s real! Haha…

我真的变了很多吗?。。。我也是这样觉得。。。你猜我那时候几岁?哈哈哈。。。
Have I really changed a lot? … I thought so too… guess how old I was then? Hahaha…

当时妈妈、二哥和六姐(左一)有来参加我的毕业典礼。。。
MY mum, second brother and sixth sister (left 1) came for my graduation ceremony…

妈妈当然最高兴。。。
Of course mum was most happy…
