但我还要从头开始翻译成英语啊！！！有人自愿帮忙吗？？
After so many days, squeezing my brain juice, changing so many pairs of glasses… finally!!! The Bible Test questions are all set!!!
But I still need to translate everything to English from the very beginning!!!! Anyone volunteers to help??

好啦，以下是便这次每课考题与分数的分配，以让你们最后的冲刺和温习晓得着重在哪几课。。。很好心吧？
但记得呀，神的话多读永远也不会亏损的！！！少读当然是大大吃亏啦！
Ok, below are the allocation of questions and marks for each lesson, so in your final effort and revision, you would know where to focus more… very kind, right?
But remember, you will never suffer any loss for reading more of God’s Word!!! But you will be losing much if you do not read enough!

这次选择题总共有80题，占80分：
This time there will be 80 multiple choice questions, total 80 marks:

有没有一个人会让你见到他就很欢喜？看到他就把烦恼忘记？

在我生命中，确实是有这样的人。。。嗯。。。好奇，好奇，那到底会是谁？

但我想，与其一直追求及希望我们生命中有这样的人出现，我们何不努力把自己塑造成这样的人，好让很多人见到我们就欢喜，看到我们就把烦恼忘记。。。？

或至少不要做那种别人见到我们就叹息，看到我们就更绝望的人。。。

Is there such a person whom you feel happy each time you meet him or her? And that your worries will be forgotten when you see them?

In my life, there indeed is such a person… Hmm… curious, curious, who could that be?

But I think, instead of pursuing and hoping someone like that appears in our lives, why not we strive hard to become someone like that, that many people will be happy when they meet us, and their worries forgotten when they see us…?

Or at least, don’t be a person whom people sigh when they meet you, or feel even more hopeless when they see you…

那，叫我一见到就很欢喜的又会是谁那么厉害，和那么有魅力呢？你们说这个问题会不会又弄一些人“perasan”（自作多情，以为是他们？哈哈！）。。。
但认识我的人大概都会猜得到吧。。。哈哈。。。对啦，当然是小孩子会叫我很欢喜啦！

Then, who is that person so capable and charming to make me very happy each time I see him? By the way, do you think this question will make some people “perasan” again (self-assuming, thinking I’m talking about them? Haha!)…
But I think those who know me can guess easily… haha… yes, it has got to be little children that make me very happy…

其中一位，当然是我的宝贝恩恩啦。。。
One of them is of course my baby, Moses…

哇，不知不觉都九岁了！还记得他这么小的时候，有空就载他去飞机场看飞机，那时还能抱他放在我车顶上坐呢！
Wow, in the twinkling of an eye, he is now nine! I can still recall when he was this small, I would bring him to the airport to watch aeroplanes whenever I was free. At that time I could still carry him and put him on my car roof!

现在都抱不起他了。。。
Now I can’t even carry him…

其实教会很多小孩，因为父母都认真信主，所以孩子灵性很好，很讨人喜爱，看到他们就会很欢喜。。。譬如：恩希。。。
Actually many kids in church, because their parents believe in Jesus seriously, so their children have good spirit and are very adorable in nature and they make you happy when you see them… for instance, Ricca…

至于恩希的爸爸嘛。。。嗯。。。还好啦，哈哈！
As for Ricca’s dad… well… not too bad, haha!

神迹小孩，绚恩，当然不在话下。。。从一出生就很友善。。。
Miracle baby, Shannen, is of course one of them too… very friendly since birth…

更何况他父母这么爱我，哈哈。。。
Furthermore, her parents love me so much too, haha…

还有大家公认的卡通小孩，宇翔。。。
And also the popularly acknowledged cartoon kid, Shane…

小孩那么讨人欢喜，最主要原因就是他们的单纯，和什么也不跟你计较，心中也纯洁。。。连耶稣都很喜欢小孩到他面前来。。。
Guess kids make you so happy becuase they are so pure and innocent, they are not calculative with you, and their hearts are clean… even Jesus loved little children to come to Him…

当然还有很多没提名的小孩啦。。。所以现在知道我一见到谁就欢喜了吧？
那你们见到我，是不是也很欢喜呢？哈哈哈。。。
Of course there are still many other kids not mentioned here… so now you know who make me happy when I see them?
And do you feel very happy too when you see me? Hahaha…

好恐怖的一个想法！一个问题解决不了，结果要捱上无数年月的“痛苦”。。。
当小问题我们不理会，或不处理（扫在地毯下面），它就会持续下去，持续的“折磨”与“骚扰”我们，以致我们无法完全安宁或享受生活，脑子后面一直告诉我们有问题存在。。。

这个恐怖问题差一点就成为我的梦魇。。。因为他们跟我说，若找不出这个“小问题”的根源，那下来几年我的“头”就大了！
那我面对的到底是什么问题？原来就跟我家里漏水有关。。。
其实女佣早就跟我说一定有水管爆裂或漏水什么的，因我浴室外面的木砖会潮湿和发霉，但我一直拖延，没认真去处理。。。

What a horrible thought! When a problem is not solved and you have to “suffer” for countless years and months…
When we ignore or do not deal with our small problems (sweeping them under the carpet), they will continue and persist to “torment” and “disturb” us till we cannot have perfect peace or enjoyment in life, as behind our mind we will be thinking about the problem…

This scary thought almost became my nightmare as they told me if we could not locate the source of this “little” problem, it would become a “big” headache for me for years!
Then what was the problem I was facing? It had to do with the water leakage in my house…
Actually my maid told me quite a while ago that some pipe must be leaking outside my shower room as the wooden tiles outside the shower room were kind of moist and mouldy, but I kept delaying and did not seriously check on the problem…

一直到最近我觉一定要处理了，因为厕所旁边的砖块的缝也冒出水来了，所以就叫了教会善于装修的弟兄来帮忙。。。
起初他们就挖掘了外面的木砖和厕所旁的砖块，甚至整个厕所都拆下来，还敲破墙壁的砖块要找出到底是哪里漏水。。。

Until recently I thought the problem must be solved, because water was coming out from the cracks of the tiles beside the toilet too, so I asked some brothers from church who are good at renovation to come and help…
Initially they dug out the wooden tiles outside and also the tiles beside the toilet, and even took down the entire toilet and broke the tiles on the wall to find out where the leaking actually was…

几天后还是查不出原因，连花洒的墙也被敲了！看了有多心痛。。。
Few days later, they still could not find the problem, even the shower wall was broken to be checked! What a pain to see the sight…

还是找不出原因！他们就有几个理论，也告诉我若找不出根源，只要我住在这屋子里，问题就会存在！
从那天起，我就一直祷告，我跟上帝说，这房子是你赐福我的，你一定会让他们发现问题所在。。。

Still could not find the problem! And they came up with a few theories but also told me if they could not locate the source, then I would have to live with this problem for as long as I live in this house!
From that day on, I prayed to God constantly telling Him that He was the one who blessed me with this house, so He would surely show them where the problem is…

感谢主，天父再次听了我的祷告，今天下午就发现问题了，而且问题是源自最初的建筑疏忽，发展商需要负责修补，而不是原本发展商说的是我自己要负责！

Thank God, my Father God once again listened to my prayer, the problem was located this afternoon, and it was the negligence of the initial builder, so the management company has to be responsible for this repair as opposed to me being responsible as initially mentioned by the company!

感谢主，我不必捱那么多年了！小问题上帝都帮我解决，更何况如果有大问题呢？
我只能说：我的神真好！
Praise the Lord, I do not have to endure this for years! God settles even this little problem for me, what more to say if there are big problems?
I can only say: My God is so good!
