Gary Phang & Alicia Lee

Again, have not been updating my blog many days! ~sigh~. Since the last post I wrote regarding my injured shoulder, I have been trying not to logon to the online when I am at home. Only doing some quick surfing on news and FB. (I found FB more time consuming instead!). Have been trying to sleep earlier nowadays, so obedient on me, unlike Gary!.

With year ending soon, most of my projects have been coming to close soon. With few tasks which needs to be carried over to next year. So far, the bank I am working at is quite ok as of today. We never know what will happen next year. But what I do not there will be some sort of restructuring. I always believe God has a better plan for us - Jeremiah 29:11. Most of us especially in the financial section were quite worried about layoff. Few major banks have initiated such move. Heard that our bank may exercise such move eventhough our company has solid financial performance. Anyway, leave it all to God, no point of worrying too much.

On the lighter note, Emelee already into 21 months. She has really grown up. Alicia taking care of her full time really helps a lot in making sure she establish her daily routine and enforce discipline. Yes, discipline! She starts developing bad habits and characters which warrant spanking! The problem we have was she took really long time to finish her meal. Constant nagging is required to get her finish her food. The other problem was she is really active when she is away from home. In church, she can't sit still and constantly needs to walk everywhere. Sometimes, it is really tiring to look after her.Whatever it is, she is still adorable, no doubt about it :)

Alicia is into her 32 weeks of pregnancy. Her tummy really big kinda going to explode soon! This baby is active during the night, kicking and twisting. Slept till late morning! (I mean my wife!). Last week really had a scared as Alicia was sicked after I was healed. But now she has recovered.

I have been through various agony last week.

Have not been writing quite sometime. I have developed severed shoulder and lower back pain last week. Probably this was caused by spending too much time in front of my notebook both in the office and at home. It also may be due to lack of exercise. When to a Chinese physician and did some massage to "free some blood vessels" and "realign" some of my joints. I am feeling better abeit not completely healed. A half an hour running at the park last Saturday really loosen my stiff muscles but it is painful now.

Beside my back pain, my car also not in good condition. Spent few hundred bucks to change a sensor just because it was bitten by rat(s)!. And that does not resolve the problem, now the electronic control unit seems to developed some problem which cost more than RM2000 to repair. Really suspect Toyota service centre capability. Shall send to workshop specialized in Toyota cars soon for verification.

Then, visited my uncle who is unwell with multiple organ failures in hospital. Seeing so many sicked people really affected and troubled me.

Really need to meditate on Psalm 91!

American today will decide to vote their new President of United States of America. Barack Obama seems to be the favourite over John McCain. Whoever he is voted into the office, I pray this person will restore this country to God fearing nation once again. There will be ernomous tasks for the new President, restoring troubled economy and war in Iraq.

The other day, Emelee had her fingers snapped by book self. She left her finger on the self and at the same time close the book self door. Cried out loud but for a while. She is a tough girl indeed.

yup, today is my birthday and it will be over in just few minutes.....

A group of 27 youth leaders went to PD recently for a 3D/2N retreat. We rent a double-storey house with 4 rooms. How do we fit in 27 people in a house? Guys have to forgo rooms and beds for the girls. All 12 guys slept in the living hall! We had a great time together, slept together, steamboat together, BBQ together, ate together, worship God together, prayed together ,ehh what else..... Quite tiring though as most of the time we slept after 12am. And of course, most of the activities we planned, esp. going out for supper did not happen. Overall, it's fun to be together as we continue serve Him as a team.Preparing for steamboat feast

BBQing....(last batch chicken wings with "hot peri-peri" flavour)

Earlier, we went to our coming youth camp site - Bayu Beach Resort to inspect the place. And we had our beach activities there.

Pictures taken during last mid-autumn festival at my residence with our neighbour. It ended up we, adults playing with candles instead.
This little British girl joined us too. Her mom is a model on assignment in Malaysia. She was taken care by Emelee's babysitter.
She is few months younger than Emelee.

This is Emelee favourite dance posture, especially during Mickey Mouse clubhouse show. She likes mostly the start and ending of the show only. (did not have time to covert to video to be upright)
