十架七言

受难节
是纪念主耶稣被钉死在十字架

十架七言
是主耶稣临死之前的七句话,也是在被钉在十字架上所说的

复活节
是纪念主耶稣死后,在第三天复活

教会鼓励我们在耶稣受难节(这年是4月2日)
的时候,可以默想与禁食

主要的目的是
第一
回顾主耶稣为我们受死的过程,认识和体会他舍己的大爱
第二
安静和省察自己,在罪上向神忏悔,重新振作跟随主
第三
认识神的救赎计划,为邻舍,亲人,世界的救赎代祷

至于默想的经文,可以是十架七言
如下:

父啊,赦免他们。
因为他们所作的,他们不晓得。(路加福音23:34)
Father, let them have forgiveness,
for they have no knowledge of what they are doing. (Luke 23:34)

我实在告诉你,
今日你要同我在乐园里了。(路加福音23:43)
Truly I say to you,
Today you will be with me in Paradise. (Luke 23:43)

母亲,看你的儿子。
又对那门徒说,看你的母亲。(约翰福音19:26-27)
Mother, there is your son!
Then he said to his disciple, There is your Mother! (John 19:26-27)

以罗伊,以罗伊,拉马撒巴各大尼?
翻出来,就是,我的神,我的神,为什么离弃我?(马可福音15:34)
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?
which is, My God, my God,
why are you turned away from me? (Mark 15:34)

我渴了。(约翰福音19:28)
Give me water. (John 19:28)

成了。(约翰福音19:30)
All is done. (John 19:30)

父啊,我将我的灵魂交在你手里。(路加福音23:46)
Father, into your hands I give my spirit. (Luke 23:46)

主耶稣是神,却成了人,来到世上
只为了拯救有罪又不能自救的我们

主耶稣爱我们,爱到愿意为我们舍己
无罪的他,为了担当我们的罪,而死在十字架上

为了证明他是神,他在第三天复活,多次显现,给多人看
四十天之后,他升天,被接回天家

主耶稣是唯一一位说爱人的神
只要我们心里相信,口里承认
我们就得到这一份无人能夺取的爱

凡接待他的,就是信他名的人,
他就赐他们权柄
做神的儿女
约翰福音12:1

Alice in Wonderland 3D

I have watched Alice in Wonderland last night
thanks for Orange so that we can enjoyed 2 for 1 cinema ticket
which saved a lot and can go more frequent

Back to the movie
it was about Alice, obviously from it's title
going back to the wonderland..
yes, going back as her second visit
the 1st time was her dream (but actually it happened in real)
and the 1st time was the Disney cartoon version
just in case many ppl don't know there is a cartoon version
this is the poster which is a Disney movie for children


it was an awesome movie, especially for children
this is one of my favourite Disney movies
worth watching

for this movie version
the story is a bit related to the Disney cartoon version
but it is more commercial and suitable for adult

the story was so so....
and I was quite disappointed with the animation
for the cartoon version
it was fulled with mystery and very "wonderland"
so i thought it would be very nice if in the movie
the effect can be draw out by computer, 3D and etc
but actually no, it wasn't like what I expected
it didn't full use of the 3D technology
instead, Avatar was fully using the 3D effect

despite all those animate effect
it is worth watching if u put ur focus on Johnny Deep
he is a good actor and he did very well in this movie

How to make a birthday cake

It is the same receipt for making a Swiss roll and a birthday cake.
Here is my Swiss roll receipt
The only difference is you need to prepare more fruits, cream and some creative ideas for a birthday cake. You need to think how are you going to decorate your cake, then prepare appropriate material. Personally, I like fruit cake and I think it will be the nice and easy decoration for beginner. Please look at the picture below for references. Hope it helps.

I used strawberry and peach to decorate.
You can cut strawberry into different shape
in order to have difference effect.

For those cream decoration on the side,
you need to have decorating kit
to help you squeeze the cream into different shape.


For this, I used the same fruit as the previous one.
The only different was I used nuts to decorate the sides.

I used more fruits this time, because this cake is bigger.
I used green and black grapes as the outline.
Then I put peach surrounded strawberry (canned) and kiwi.
On the sides, I used almond flake.

Final reminder: Use fresh fruit if you can, so it can keep longer. For those juicy fruit, you might need to make it dry before you put on the cream. It is to avoid watery on the cake and fruit's colour fade after overnight.

领诗的事奉

事奉分享- 领诗
21.03.2010

序言(粤语):神没有应许我们天色常蓝,但祂却应许时时看顾我们
因为祂是我们的避难所,是我们随时的帮助

1. 谁曾应许(粤语)(曲詞:盧永亨)

谁曾应许,一生不撇下我;每段窄路,谁陪我去走过?
谁还领我,於青草恬静处躺卧,丰足恩惠比海沙更多!

谁曾应许,天天看 顾著我;昼夜眷佑,连头发也数过!
谁还以爱,驱走心里惧怕怯懦,那惧路途卷动著旋涡!

因你是我主,我避难所,我盾牌和诗 歌!
你是我的高台,我随时帮助!
来吧用信心,赞颂和高歌,你永在我心窝!
唯你有永生江河,除你以外不倚靠别个!

我 究竟算甚麼?神你竟这般顾念我



当我们站在神的面前,我们算不了什么,我们是如此的微小
但因着神的慈爱,祂接纳我们,使我们成为祂宝贝的孩子,因祂是那爱我们的神(国语)

2. 有一位神(词:万美蔺 曲:游智婷)

有一位神,有权能创造宇宙万物
也有温柔双手安慰受伤灵魂
有一位神,有权炳审判一切罪恶
也有慈悲体贴人的软弱

有一位神,我们的神
唯一的神,名叫耶和华
有权威荣光,有恩典慈爱
是昔在今在永在的神



主耶稣基督为了担当我们的罪,为我们舍身,流血,表明了祂对我们的爱
让我们以这首诗歌献上我们的感恩,赞美,也一起思念主的恩典

3. 我的神我要敬拜祢 (詞/曲:林文蘭)

我的神我要敬拜祢 我的心深深地愛祢
在祢的座前 我思想祢恩典
我的心讚美敬拜祢

祢是我心靈的滿足 祢是我唯一的喜樂
在祢的座前 我思想祢恩典
我的神我要敬拜祢



慈爱的主,我们感谢祢,因祢带给我们心灵上的满足,带给我们满满的喜乐
求你帮助我们以自己的生命为祢作见证,使更多人能够得到祢的爱。
主啊!我们以心灵和诚实所献上的赞美
愿达到祢的施恩宝座前,蒙祢喜悦。

Before you make a decision

What am impressing story about the collapsed of Jericho City
is it because of Joshua's wisdom and leadership?
or because of Israelites great marching?
or the excellent trumpet's sound blew by the priest?
the answer is: none of the above!

The reason behind is because the Lord our God is with Israelites
it is because God wants to give them the city
the glory of the Lord was built because of His great work

But later
those men who sent to attack Ai City were fled from the men of Ai
Why? Why God has given them the city of Jericho so easily
but declined to lead them when come to the small city of Ai
because Israel has sinned
therefore, the Lord was not with them
therefore they failed

When come to Gibeonites' trick
Joshua and Israelites were being lied by them
because they did not seek for the Lord's counsel
After they realised those Gibeonites were live among them
it was too late, Israelites had established peace with them

God has tell us so clearly
when He will be with us and when it is not
it is up to us to choose
Obey God's commandment (teaching) = Full of Blessing
Disobey God's commandment (teaching) = Full of Cursing

Today's thought and contemplation:
What a perilous path we walk when we rely upon our own wisdom,
and neglect to include God in our decision (Josh 9:14-15)
Are you facing a major decision today?
Then don't make a move
until you have prayed and invited God into your decision making.

Yes, I have facing a major decision today
I don't know which path to take
but I strongly believe God is with me
and He will guides my future

"Guide me in Your truth and teach me,
for You are the God of my salvation;
I wait for You all day long.''
(Psalm 25:5)

1st telephone interview in my life

Had a telephone interview today, 1st in my life!
I think it's ok but something can be improve.
I was very calm because I don't even know it is a telephone interview.

Interviewer: Hello, can I speak to Vicky Lai?

Me: Yes, speaking

Interviewer: I am calling from bla bla bla company. Regarding about your application for HR internship, I would like to know more about you

Me: OK

Interviewer: Are you currently studying in King's College London?
When is your course comes to the end?
When can you start working?
Do you need to give notice to your present company?
What other intern has you applied?
This job role is responsible for bla bla bla....
What do you learn about reward and pay in your uni?
What do you learn about training and development in your uni?
Our company reward and pay are bla bla bla....
Training and development are bla bla bla....
How much did you previous company pay for you?
Are you satisfy with our pay rate?
What other benefits are you looking for?


Like this, he asked me on the phone around 15 mins and it was a bit like an exam especially when he asked me what have I learned in uni. What do I know about reward and pay, training and development, etc. But luckily, it was my previous exam questions, so I still can remember what I have been taught. Due to I don't know it was an interview, so I just acted like normal chatting.

After 15 mins chatting....

Interviewer: Thank you very much. This job role has 3 selection stages which are one telephone interview and two face to face interviews. I have done the telephone interview with you just now and we will call you back if we want you to participate in our face to face interview. The decision making process should take no more than 10 days.

Then I was like: huh?! Just now was telephone interview? Oh, I think I give some silly answer or give too casual answer coz when he asked me is there any intern I have apply for, I answer no and he asked why? I firstly answer by saying their company is very good, I really hope to join this kind of company. My 2nd and 3rd points were because the intern period suits my time and the company is very close to my house. Later I realised this answer sounds childish but my friends said it's alright, nothing wrong with the answer. Anyways, it has pass. What I can do now is wait.

My dear Lord, if this is the job that you have prepared for me, please help me proceed, I really hope I can get a job soon. But if it is not the job you want to give me, I am willing to obey your will and wait for you decision.

Flowers in UK

Living in a place and visiting a place will give you totally different feeling. When you are going a place for travel, you will keep on taking picture (especially myself) and tend to put more attention to details. On contrast, a place where you lived, you will show less interest and even don't remember how does the road where you pass by everyday look like.

Since I have been living in UK for about 3 years, I don't take much picture unless I saw something really interesting. And there is one thing that interest me these few years was the flowers in UK. I realised those flowers in UK are very different from Malaysia one. Most probably is because of the weather, so there are different kind of flowers in UK during winter, summer, spring and autumn. I found some flowers with special shape, special colours and special....................name?? (nah, I don't know what's their name, lol)

Here are some pictures I took from my iphone, obviously, when you are living in a place, you wouldn't always carry your camera with you. =P

Very sharp yellow

Looks like grape

Does it looks like....lamp??

Dark red rose


Dandelion 蒲公英

bamboo
yeah, i know this is not special
but this is my house plant, so need to show it..haha
sharp pink big flower with little purple flower
erm, this is........grass??
my lovely house plants
the main character is those water..haha....
dunno what fruit


similar with rose
The end....hope you enjoy
