Later this evening at 8:45pm, I will take Malaysian Airlines MH 1165 plane from Penang to Kuala Lumpur and arrive there at 10:40pm to transit there for a while. After that, I will take China Airlines CA 972, a 757 jet departing KL at 12:50am and arrive in Peking at 6:40am. It will be an 8-day guided tour of Beijing, Tianjin and Chende in China. On Sunday 5th of August, I will take China Airlines CA 971 from Peking departing at 5:00pm and arrive in KL at 11:20pm. We will stay 1 night in Concorde Inn Hotel, KLIA before departing at 11:50am on Malaysian Airlines MH 1142 to Penang. We should arrive Penang at 12:40pm in the afternoon and my youngest sister has taken leave from her Bayan Lepas factory to fetch us back.

I am looking forward to my first overseas trip since 2001 and it is about time to see some beautiful sights. I will walk on the Great Wall of China, visit Tiananman Square, Forbidden Palace, see pandas in a zoo and Chinese acrobatic performance and visit other places. Wish me journey mercies for this trip. In the meantime, there will not be any posts for 8 days from tomorrow onwards.

We were about to set forth and drive up to Penang this morning when my colleague discovered that the car water pump is leaking. As we need to drive up about 400 miles, we need to have the water pump replace to avoid any problems along the highway. So we are back to the Subang Jaya condominium while the car is being serviced. Thank goodness it was discovered early before our trip back North. I shudder to think what will happen if the car breaks down in the middle of the road due to a leaking water pump. So while waiting, I am back to blogging to kill time.

All churches preach Good News to its people. But the most annointed church I have ever attended was Pastor Joseph Prince’s New Creation Church. Now it has 15,000 members and still growing very fast. During my time in year 2000 while I was still in Singapore, it was about 6,000 members, then exploded to 12,000 member a couple of years later and now it has 15,000 members. People loved hearing the true Gospel and right preaching and teaching. It does not mix the Old Testament with the New Testament. You cannot mix Law and Grace together.

Around 2002, New Creation Church provided satellite services to parts of Africa like Uganda where the people get to watch the service live and the church gets to keep all the offerings. It was also beamed live to parts of India like Goa and Gujerat. And now by listening to his CDs, New Creation Church has gone a step further by broadcasting its services on DayStar Television Network from Mondays to Fridays at 2:00pm in the United States. This speaks volumes about my former paster’s very very annointed preaching and healing services. People get blessed listening to Pastor Prince preach the right Gospel and they are no longer under bondage by the Law in the Old Testament. Jesus came to set us free, and we should read the New Testament of much promises, grace and God’s Blessings. Sometimes I wish we get to watch Pastor Prince live on TV in Malaysia like the Americans. They are so blessed.

With almost two decades of full-time ministry behind him, Pastor Joseph Prince has become the leading voice for a new generation of believers — a generation that builds its hope on the abundance of God’s grace and the gift of His righteousness.

A founding member and pioneer leader of New Creation Church, Pastor Prince initially served as an elder and associate pastor. However, his appointment as senior pastor in 1990 marked a turning point in the history of the church, which started experiencing growth at an accelerated rate never before seen in its history. The 15 years under Pastor Prince’s leadership have seen God multiplying the church congregation from about 150 to more than 12,000!

A highly sought-after speaker in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Southeast Asian region, Pastor Prince’s sermons are broadcast weekly in Uganda, a nation hungry for the Word of God. Through his conferences in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Holland and Norway, he has also impacted many church leaders and ministry servers. Having built and established the leadership and congregation of New Creation Church on the gospel of grace, Pastor Prince is now actively fulfilling the vision that God has given him to spread the good news of the gospel of Christ to the nations.

I shall be leaving Penang for KL on Sunday night for about 6 hours plane flight from KL to Beijing, China. This is my first overseas trip since I came back to Penang from Singapore in December 2000. It has been about 7 long years that I ever took a long haul flight on board. And to accompany me for this trip to Beijing, Chende and Tianjin will be my parents whom I have sponsored for their trip. I look forward to the trip to China and will bring a small luggage with rollers. I have also bought an additional 1GB memory card for my camera in case of too many photo-taking and just in case my own 1GB card is not sufficient to contain all the photos. Wish me journey mercies and to have a pleasant trip to China.

This morning, I did not have much time to blog as I had to get ready for the trip to KL at 9:00am today. After putting my bedsheet into the washing machine, I hurried to the gate of the waiting car of my colleague. He drove about 5 hours with a short break in A & W for a root beer float before proceeding to meet up with our client, a golf club in KL. Most likely I shall be back on Friday morning. Thereafter, we went to Sunway Pyramid to have our dinner in Delifrance. After buying some drinks and titbits, we drove to the company’s rented condo in Subang Jaya to rest and relax.

I now have my dream job which is to work at home. It would even be better if I have my own place to stay for complete privacy. My full time job involves preparing quotations, processing emails, type faxes and answering phone calls. Since my voice is better now, my clients are able to hear me speak through the phone. It would be even better if I can post fewer opps while taking higher paid posts for my part time blogging. At the moment, I don’t have to get dressed to work at the office which is right at home. And it saves me petrol money from driving to work and make up.

Buying a good home with peaceful neighborhood has never been easy. You have to scout around for the best house that suits your budget. And you never know about your neighbors until you stay there for at least a month. If you get a neighbor from hell, then God help you. It is like staying next to a lion’s den. When you first choose a home, it is never easy and you can never tell what kind of neighbors you are going to have. That’s because the dog has been taken away or put in the house and everything is very peaceful and quiet. But the moment you shift in, then you realized that the peaceful environment is just a show so that buyers will be attracted to the peaceful surroundings.

Today, I shall be going to Taiping after lunch to take photos of the completed futsal courts that my company has installed. The photos will be put into the company web site for potential clients to view our reference projects. As of now, we have more than 50 pictures of various project references that we have completed since 2003 and the profile keeps growing each month. That is why the company is so blessed with plenty of projects on hand every month that sometimes we are short of labor to complete them on time. The trip to Taiping will take about 2 hours drive and probably the whole afternoon will be taken just travelling.

This morning I am supposed to fast and not take breakfast. In an hour or two, I shall be at the clinic to have my blood taken from the arm for blood sugar test plus a host of other test like cholesterol, etc. So I have to endure the hunger for a while before the test. I shall be going with my parents who will also have their blood taken. It was an offer period for the factory where my youngest sister works and she brought back the pamphlet with discounted price of half the amount. Except for my dad who has a clogged artery, my parents are very healthy with no sickness or diseases despite their ages at 69 and 70.
