hey all! i hope ya'll having a good chinese new year! i sure had a nice time just chilling with my paternal relatives in malaysia.

ang pows are quite nice too (:

there are some things i need to address!

1. sponsor a dahlit child.

we have "adopted" a dahlit child. more details about him coming soon!
of course, we need to think how we can raise the money to sponsor him. i found out that we need to pay the lump sum first. $540 for the whole year. yupp. so i need people who are willing and able to contribute to this sum and them recieve payments each month. yupp.. please pray about it and see how much you can loan to the cell (:

2. OTC

otc rocks! any amens? haha. i wonder how ya'll have been doing so far. only 2 days into it and i know of some of ya'll who are already falling behind.. hahaha.. time to buck up! its not that difficult la.

also, lets not treat this as another religious duty or chore. lets put this in the highest priority in our daily schedules.

and those that still DO NOT HAVE THEIR OTC MATERIALS please be proactive in trying to get it. dont let shawn and i be having to worry about it all the time. yupp.. so if you still dont have, please approach shawn. thanks!

3. punctuality for service

yes. it has come to my attention that some of ya'll are in the bad habit of coming late.. everybody say "ORH HOR......." and point to the people who are always late.

haha. yes.. in all seriousness, its not good to be late for service. its not good to be late for ANYTHING for that matter. come early for service. like 415.. sit around and chit chat or something. dont be rushing in for service den take another 5 mins of the worship segment to calm down. not God honoring

ok! thats all for now.

time for a joke.

An elderly couple walk into a fast food restaurant. They order one hamburger, one order of fries and one drink.

The old man unwraps the plain hamburger and carefully cuts it in half. He places one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counts out the fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placing one pile in front of his wife. He takes a sip of the drink, his wife takes a sip and then sets the cup down between them. As he begins to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them keep looking over and whispering "That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them."

As the man begins to eat his fries a young man comes to the table. He politely offers to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man replies that they''re just fine - they''re just used to sharing everything.

The surrounding people noticed the little old lady hadn''t eaten a bite. She sits there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.

Again the young man comes over and begs them to let him buy another meal for them.
This time the old woman says "No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything."

As the old man finishes and was wipes his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again comes over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asks "May I ask what is it you are waiting for?"

The old woman answers... "THE TEETH."
