Poem Based on Psalm 2

Recently, we (my family and I) have taken up the challenge to memorize the whole of Psalms. One night when I was reading over the scriptures, I thought to myself, "I should really try writing a song or poem." And so I did. So anyway, I thought I'd share it with the rest of you.

My Poem based on Psalm 2:
Why do the nations conspire
And the peoples plot in vain?
The kings and rulers take their stand
Against the Lord's promising rain.

"You are my Son," it goes on to say,
"And I have become your Father."
"Ask of me and the nations are yours,
Or the ends of the earth you'd rather."

"You will rule them with a scepter,
And break them like clay."
Tis' a powerful blessing
Now I should dare say.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry
And you be destroyed in your way.
Take refuge in him all year round
Not only in the month of May!

Yup, that's it. I really like it, and I hope you did too. Memorizing these verses as a family has been really fun, although we have not accomplished a lot yet. =) I think we started about 2-3 weeks ago, and most of us are at Psalm 3. Anyone up for this challenge? Let me know!

Ps. Usually Nat is the one who is always writing poems, so I'm really glad I was able to write one this time!

My Overload of Thoughts from Last Month Till Now

Hi there!

Phew! To think the last time that I wrote was Chinese New Year! I keep wanting to write really, but I never sat down to think....I am so glad that finally I've written after 3 months =)

For everyone who thinks that my life has been so uninteresting for the past months that I have nothing to blog on, you are all so WRONG! On the contrary, things have been exciting! That's what I'm here to say!

Okay, I can't really trace back far, so events would be from May. Things that I would haven't posted, but didn't=)

• Ashton's Birthday! My Goodness! He just gets cuter, and cuter!
• Mum's Birthday and Mothers' Day! Interesting thing that it happened to be on the same day!
• Grandparents' anniversary! we sent to Hong Kong for a holiday.
• A group of Sabahans were in Penang for floorball. they came to have friendlies with Penang, and Nat played in one game. Too bad, I couldn't because I had a sprained ankle. But it was fun to watch!
• I am finally 12! I celebrated my birthday by having a date with dad in the morning, and coming to a surprise party. Though I wasn't surprised, it was great fun! Try harder next time, Ee ee!
• Church Camp! This year GCC held our church camp in Cinta Sayang REsort, Sungai Petani.
• Greater Glory Convention! We were sponsored to attend this worship convention in Cameron Highlands. I especially enjoyed the worship time! Oh, and the indulgence of strawberries!
• Fathers' Day! We celebrated Fathers' Day by taking the Fathers' out! we had lunch with Grandpa, and dinner with Kong Kong!
  
  Well, I guess that's it for now! Enjoyed writing this, telling the truth! Hopefully I will be more consistent from now so I won't have so much typing at one go!
  
  I hope this was O.K. =)
  
  
  Chao for Now,
  - Me -
  

Chinese New Year!

Boy, time flies! I thought I just wrote a post on Chinese New Year, though it has already been one year!

It gets so terribly hot, doesn't it? Usually after we have been out in the sun, we always come home and "melt". Meaning we lie down on the floor till we are cool enough to walk around again. =) Often I feel as if I really am going to faint. Mum says that a lot too!

Well, now I really don't know what to write about Chinese New Year! So I guess it's just.....

Happy Chinese New Year! To all of you!

Too Late...?

Hi there again!

Well I know in my last post I said that I would write about my visit to Australia, but now mum says that maybe I shouldn't write them anymore because it has been so long. I do still want to write, but then again I know that I'll never be able to finish writing them all. By then, they would just be like " hanging there".

I am really, really sorry for those of you who have been waiting such a long time for my Australian posts. I feel real sorry that I have been able to write able to write them.

But those who really have been waiting to know about my Australian visit can ask me questions about it by commenting on this post! Thanks for understanding!
