Ok first I went to my Grandma's for lunch with my uncle's family.
Now... The pictures...
Then I went to Pastor Ronald Ooi's house after that with Sister Kim, Teacher Penny and Jian Quin.
From left: Joy (Pastor's daughter), Sister Kim in Pink, Mr. Vain Pot Zlwin Chew (me), Her Majesty Jian Quin (Queen), Miss Universe 1970 Mrs Ooi or Pastor Jasmine, and of course the man of the house, Pastor Ronald Ooi! (ook at his pretty legs!) not in picture is Tchr Penny who took this picture.
Pastor Ronald living up to the title, "Man of the House" siiting on his throne and overseeing his dominion.
Pastor Jasmine or what I would rather call, Sister Jasmine, and me =)
Sister Jasmine: Oh I am taking picture with Zlwin! Gosh! You made my day!!! =D
Pastor Ronald: Look up! Look up! Bird poo incoming!
Pastor Ronald's cutie girl, Joy! Hey readers, yes I know she is cute and she knows that well too. But sad to say, she's taken =) Everyone goes: "Aww........"
Ok guys, I am part of the Ooi family now.... =) haha.
Oh well that's about all. We didn't take many pics cuz we were busy chit chatting. Thank God that the YAF group left before we came so we could have a better chat with Pastors' family. Joy is a great girl, chatted about some Psychology stuff and she is just so interesting. Thank you Pastor Ronald, Sister Jasmine and Joy for letting us crash at your place, mess it up, steal some food, take ang pao and leave. Thanks =) hehe.
After Pastor Ronald Ooi's house I went to Rou Shinq's house. Well I couldn't go at first cuz I do not have any transport there and back then Shannon kept calling and bugging me to go and said she will fetch me back, so well I went. Dunno how many times did Shannon called me up when I was in Pastor Ron's house. I was chatting with them half way and I had to excuse myself to answer Shannon's call, about 7 times if I am not mistaken! Argh! But oh well I had a great time at Rou Shinq's, met her eldest sister and family. Nice =) Thanks Emily and Rou Shinq!

Well here is what I got out of today's visits and all. It is not about the angpaos (though I love them haha) but it is about LOVE. It was out of LOVE that my Grandma spent the whole of last night cooking a delicious meal for us, Phong Teh, her own special recipe. It was out of LOVE that Pastor Ronald Ooi invited us to their house, though he knew that there is going to be a lot of cleaning up to do after that. We crashed his place, ate the cookies, dropped a lot on the floor and dirty up the whole place. We even got angpao from him, then we did the most amazing thing (as everyone does) we said, "Bye bye Pastor, thanks for inviting us." and LEFT... He got nothing out of it, but he gave his best to us - LOVE. It was out of LOVE and appreciation as a friend that Rou Shinq and Emily invited me to their house. And it was out of LOVE that Shannon kept calling me up on the phone and bugging me to leave Pastor's house and go to Rou Shinq because she was bored haha. Everything was done out of LOVE (I am not sure about the last one though).

You see, Chrsitians are suppose to be like that. We are called to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. And love NOT BY WORDS but LOVE BY ACTIONS. God did not just tell us that He loves us, He SHOWED us and GAVE us His love. How? By sending His one and only Son Jesus Christ down to earth to die for us so that we can go to heaven if we believe in Him.
_
That, my dear friends, is LOVE....
_
So we should love one another just as God loved us. Do not choose who to love! God asks us to love EVERYONE. Yes, everyone...
_
Let us STOP LOVING BY WORDS and start LOVING BY ACTIONS.
_
1 John 4:11
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
_
Pastor Ronald says,
"YES! Love everyone even though they look as silly as me!!!"

(sorry Pastor, I had to... hehe)

Loving One Another (LOA),
Zlwin Chew
