A small town name Bahau.

Never had this kind of chinese new year celebration before.

I made up mind and decided to go to a small town name Bahau, Negeri Sembilan for CNY visiting. I was hesitate at first. Why go so far under the hot sun? Moreover, it is in Negeri Sembilan. The place where I study --> away from home. -.-"

As a brief intro ... ...

Bahau is situated at the border of Negeri Sembilan. My church, chinese meeting, planted a church there a few year ago. It is called Bahau Gospel Hall "ma kou fu ying tang" We normally travel using old road, which will take us about one to one an a half hour.

Programme ... ...

8:30 am Min Lian fetch me and sis to fu keong's house in Taman Asean, Malacca.
9:15 am Kim Fatt fetch us. Off we go!
10:30 am Reach bahau. Meet in church. We are the earliest.
11:15 am Message by Chee Tat, entitle " wu fu lin men "
11:45 am Makan
12:00 pm "Gong Xi Fah Chai, Hong Pau Na Lai." Split into 3 arrears. Each with 2 cars.
1st house--> big house, very comfortable to live in.
2nd house-->wooden house, surrounded by trees, cooling, they were watching cj7.
3rd house-->terrace house, nice soup, own plant vege, great meal.
4th house-->terrace house, homemake fruit drinks, creative hand-made house deco.
5th house-->half wooden and concrete house, nice cookies, all gather in this house,
took picture.
*we are visiting houses of kids attending Sunday School, all non-believer*
5:30 pm Back to Malacca
7:00 pm Reach home. Get ready for family visiting. @.@

At the end of the day, everybody is exhausted! Nevertheless, the tiredness is overshadowed by the feeling of satisfaction and joy for being able to spend time with our spiritual family in this festive season.

The message --> "wu fu lin men" Literally it means 5 different blessings come to your door step. Figuratively it means, think yourself! It is taken from 5 different chapter from the book of Psalms. The popular CNY word - "fu" can be dissected into 3 part. God, Adam and Garden of Eden. Combine it all together, it can be said, in everything that we do, God is always there lending out helping hand. The speaker reminded us to thanked God for all the blessing that we were bless ever since we were still in our mother's womb.

The program looked ordinary. So what? Program is secondary. I do feel a stronger bond between us. It is stronger enough to make the thin wall between us shudder. (read previous post) The conversation, laughter, encouragement and care will I cherish forever. May the good Lord bless you all.
