这几天反反复复想了很久，到底该怎么办？
今天终于做了决定，“我要回马来西亚”，
最大的目的是庆祝我爸爸的60岁大寿！
虽然我只能回去两个星期多，
虽然我要花掉四百多英磅，
虽然我要逃两个星期的课，
虽然我有功课要在1月30号交，
虽然我要自己坐长途飞机（本人对坐长途飞机有恐惧感），
虽然我要面对跟老板娘请假，
但是....
没有东西能够阻止我回马来庆祝我爸爸的生日！
经过我奶妈的事情，我真的吸取了很大的教训！我不会再让我自己错过任何东西，不会再让自己后悔！我要好好的爱我的家人，尽我最大的能力让他们开心！
在这件事中，我一直不停地祷告，感谢主，我清楚知道是主的旨意和安排要我回去。
这次是我信主以来最肯定主要我做的事，感谢主，听我的祷告！

Ingredient d: 1 / 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tsp baking powder, salt
Ingredients for topping:

2. Mixture B: Whisk egg white – gradually add all the sugar, baking powder. Half way – add lemon juice and whisk until thick.
3. Add a pinch of salt to mixture A. Then add some mixture B and whisk very slightly. After that add all the mixture A to mixture B and whisk very slightly.

Away in a manger
Children performance during Christmas
Matthew 18:1-5 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
May God always remind me to "Humble like little child", always see others are better than I am.

永远怀念你！Written: December 18, 2008
还记得那一天，到她家的时候，她的女儿来接待我。心中满满的期待，再次见到她。想说今天要跟她好好的度过，想要带她去这去那。我问她的女儿：她在哪 呢？她的女儿一面错愕的看着我：你不知道吗？她走了。。。。走了？？我的眼泪不受控制的流下，我真的不能接受，原来她已经走了半年，我都不知道。我心中有 很多的疑问：她的身体一向来不是很好的吗？这么会说走就走？我还要带她去玩啊！她还没有见过我的男朋友啊！我结婚时，她要来啊！怎么说走就走？！怎么 会？！
回头想一想，我真的觉得自己很白痴！很不孝！去英国读书前，我真的很想去找她，但是因为时间太紧凑，真的没有办法去他的家，当时自己也很傻，竟然忘记了“电话’这个工具，也没有打个电话跟她道别，就离开马来西亚了。
半年以后，再踏足在马来西亚时，带了一些手信，知道她喜欢吃饼干，也带了英国特产的饼干给她。最后玩玩乐乐两个月后，就再回英国继续念书了。至于英国特产的饼干也留在我家，并没有带到去他家，也没有见到她！
忽然有一天在英国的家，发了一个可怕的梦，在梦中她离开了人世，我在参加她的丧礼。梦醒以后，眼泪还不能停止，中心充满着害怕。当时还想起民间的传言：如 果梦见亲人离世，千万不能跟任何人说，不然会有不好的事情发生。所以当时我真的不敢跟任何人提起，更不敢打电话问他的状况。
最后，她还是离世了。我连她的丧礼也没有办法参加，她的最后一面，我永远都见不到了。我真的很后悔，很难过，我怎么会这样对她？！想起我小时喉，她是如何 的疼爱我！但我竟然没有办法在他余生时，陪她度过！我时时在想，她临终时，心中是否充满着满满的问号，：为什么我这么久没有去探望她？为什么去了英国也没 有通知她？到底我在英国过的怎样？等等。。我知道她在跟病魔抗斗时，有想过要打电话给我，但因为怕我担心，怕影响我的学业，最后她放弃了。
我真是个不孝女，真白痴！我以为有一天等我长大，对于疼爱我的人， ，我有机会孝顺他们，把他们对我的疼爱加倍的报答给他们。但。。原来。。他们有一天会离世，那一天，谁都不知道。。
到最后，我再带回来的英国特产饼干，她永远也吃不到。如果我当时肯好好花时间跟她道别，如果我好好的安排我在马来西亚的两个月，如果我不管民间谣言，如果我有打电话向她问好，如果。。如果。。到现在，一切都太迟了。这是我人生中最大的打击，唯有切记，以后走每一步都三思。
咪，我的奶妈，我永远怀念你！
亲爱的朋友，如果你看到我的心情写照时，你心中默默的想起你的家人或朋友。请多安排时间跟他们相处，别让自己后悔！因为当我们慢慢长大时，也等于身边的亲人的年纪越来越大，也会慢慢的离开。
Above All (Written: September 20, 2008)
Above all powers, Above all things
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure what You’re worth
Crucified, Laid behind the stone
You lived to die, Rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall, And thought of me
Above all
