Special thanks to William Teo

I have many good friends; brothers and sisters in Christ. They are beautiful and fantastic people in my life. However, one who is very outstanding is my little brother, William Teo.

I want to dedicate this post just for him. Reason is, he went extra miles to help my sister, Audrey in fixing up her home PC. This is very urgent because my parents were planning to Skype me. They are staying in Seremban and knowing William, he would not want to disappoint the senior.

According to Audrey. William spent 4hours in her house fixing up her home PC a couple of days ago. Due to his effort and sacrifice (despise of his very busy schedule), I was able to Skype with my parents last evening.

William's little sacrifice had, no doubt, touches many hearts. My parents. My sister and entire family. More so, my heart.

William, thanks a million!

Unforgettable moment

Sitting here, not knowing how to begin. This is not because I had a rough day but I was so blessed by God. The way He knitted our hearts (Debbie and myself with Pastor Bong and Anne) and also, the children's heart was knitted deeply with theirs (Caylie; Dylan & Dayson with Jessica; Bella & Vicky). This is truly the hand of God. It is a divine connection.

Close to a year ago. When Debbie and myself met with Joshua Sim and Lynda from Singapore. We had this same experience. The fellowship never seems enough and we always long to meet each other.

I remember when we made the decision to leave Malaysia. We were so torn. We thought as though we are going to miss such intimate fellowship. Nevertheless, God knows our hearts. He knew we want to share our hearts and ministries. So, here we are. Another divine connection with Pastor Bong and Anne; and their three.

I really want to praise God for Joshua & Lynda Sim for their brotherhood. Now, the Lord has added another pair into our life. It is my desire that we will be linked in His timing. The Bong; the Tan and the Sim.

Just couldn't resist...

When Dayson and Dylan saw it, they couldn't resist it. They must sit on it. Otherwise, it will not be it!

Well, as shown. All the kids were having fun except Dylan. He was just being shy and less adventurous. He dare not try even though he really likes it. One day, he is going to be as bold and adventurous as a lion! ROAR...!

Sweet moment with Pastor Bong & Anne and family

We started as any other Sunday. We got up early and had the children washed up; dressed up to church. However, there's some sort of excitement within. This is because we were going to visit JIL Melbourne. Well, I was really looking forward to meet Pastor Bong and Anne.

As usual, the service was good and Pastor Bong preached a very passionate and valuable sermon. It was really an important sermon that will lay foundation into the church. People of God needs to hear it. The good news is, it is a good news and this sermon can really motivates people - both believers and non-believers of Christ.

After church service, they took all of us to High Point Shopping Mall. There, we had our first round of fellowship. They introduced us to a Spanish dessert called "Choco-Churro". Wow! My kids loved it and their chocolate mocha was really "A" grade.

I thought our fellowship ended at High Point but they'd decided to bring us to a park. It is a very beautiful park where the river and valley and hill were part of the natural landscape. I only wish I took some photos to show all of you. Nevertheless, the weather was too cold and the wind was really strong. I can't hold the camera but to keep my hands in the pocket.

Well, time flies. I really thought we are going to call it a day. Here comes our next round of fellowship. A dinner fellowship at a Vietnamese Restaurant. It serves delicious food. I loved it! I'd really enjoyed the food. It was amazing!

After dinner, I thought we are really going to say "Goodbye and good night!". Guess what?! Yeap! You guessed right. Our 4th round fellowship began in my house. We had great time and we ended at 11pm.

I thank God for beautiful couple and family. Pastor Bong and Anne with their three daughters are really special people. They are nice and I praise God for who they are. Amen!

Smile... You're on Daddy's Camera

It was early this morning. After washing up all my children, I have Dayson put on my cap. He looks so cute. So, I quickly grabbed my Canon S5is and did a video recording on him.

Everyone was happy!

Baby "Talk"

I was so impressed by this little one - Janson Ong. He is so adorable. I am glad we could catch up awhile. He is really so cute.

Bless you little one.

With love,
Uncle Caleb & Aunt Debbie

An enjoyable lunch

Lately, Debbie found a new cookery gadget. It boosts up her interest in making western soup. She enjoys cooking soup so much and she did very delicious soup now. Everyone of us enjoy her soup so much.

We had good and enjoyable lunch with Debbie's mix vegetable mushroom soup with fish-fillets.

A recall - Family outing to the Children Farm

I took some photos and had some video footages while we were at Children Country Farm. When I was in Malaysia, I never like farm animals. However, when I was here, I was so drawn by most of the animals. I even touched the goat. Why?

This is because these animals are so clean and beautiful. They are very well taken by the people. It is totally different feel. It is the farmer and environmental factor. How nice if Malaysia could do the same.

It was so hilarious

It was after lunch. All my family were upstairs. While I was at my workstation and Debbie was on the phone with the migration agent. Out of a sudden, Anna-Grace shouted!!! All of them, inclusive my three and wife ran towards the window in my room.

They were pointing and looking with such excitement! Debbie quickly picked up her camera and shooting the... "RAINBOW".

I burst out in laughter because we were like 'Jakun" - one that had never seen rainbow in our entire life. It was so hilarious and such joy in the room too.

After JIL Melbourne Service

Right after the service, we had a quick but warm snack fellowship. It was an hour break before Pastor Bong lead in another meeting - Leaders & Workers Meeting. I was so privilege to be invited. So, I sat at a corner and took on the role of a photographer.


They invited mum (Pastor Lily) to share and give a prophetic teaching. She shared very well and it was an eye-opening to many. The teaching and insight was as fresh as a morning dew to the entire group.

As I was photo-taking, I also saw many children playing outside the conference hall. Therefore, I'd decided to take a few of them too. They are cute little children.

What a relief!

Finally, the IELTS result arrived at our home yesterday. I was so nervous while opening the envelope. After, I was disappointed looking at the result because I was aiming to get a 7, but I only gotten a 6.5 on the overall band.

A 6.5! I knew I would need to re-take the exam because according to the migration agent, I should be getting a 7 in order to proceed for the government sponsorship program. However, all this while, I did prepare myself for the worst. Anyhow, it is painful but I took it as another learning curve and a season of shaping for my inner-being.

Today, after lunch, Debbie managed to catch the migration agent. She related the score to him and a wonderful news came from him. He assured us that the 6.5 overall band is consider a good band for me; and "YES!" I had passed the IELTS stage. I do not need to re-take. Praise God!

Isn't God good and gracious to His people?

Chilling biting cold

07/01/08: 1014a
This morning wind was strong. It is alright if I would to stay indoor. I should not feel the effect. However, this wind wasn't kind at all.

As I was cycling to my school, the wind was coming against me. I could feel the speed gradually slowed down by it. Even though I was going down the slope. That was how strong the wind.

It was very chilling too as the wind blew towards me.

Another significant day in my life

I was so excited in my heart after finding out that Pastor Bong and Anne with their three will be joining us for dinner in Coburg. Therefore, Debbie and myself were busy preparing dinner. Debbie cooked Roast Chicken and 'Satay-Egg'. While I was cooking Egg-Noodle and Oyster Source Steam Vegetable. Anna-Grace prepared a wonderful desert.

All of us had a great time during the dinner. We fellowshipped and we touched on various topics in that one seating. I was surprised to know that Pastor Bong is also another movie fan! Well, of course, he is more towards real life documented film while I am an actions and thriller fan.

The fellowship went on and on and on and on. We had so much common ground. We loved arts and had deep passion to move into performing arts. We shared the same joy in reaching the youth and seeing church growth and mentoring and raising the church in God's way. It was a *WOW* moment with him and Anne.

We so enjoyed ourselves and we didn't end until 12:50am. I am happy to know that their three daughters had enjoyed themselves with my three. They were at home with us and this is important to me. At least I know the Lord had knitted our hearts and spirits in just one evening. I am even happier to know that Victoria - their youngest actually felt asleep on our sofa *Smile* and Caylie refused to sleep not until she says "Goodbye" to her friends.

I thank the Lord for a wonderful couple and family like them. They had such fine values as a family and as a minister of God.

A significant day in my life

Yesterday was a special day, even though it was Sunday but it was unlike any other Sunday. This was because my family and I were invited to JIL Melbourne. Sister Isabel came all the way to lead us to the Church and we were so touched because she went extra miles - after picking up her friends, dropped the friends in church and then came all the way to our home to lead us. This is really an amazing spirit.

As soon as the Service began, straight away, in my spirit I knew something unique about this church and the worship leader and the team of musicians. I got so connected with them. This is because I saw myself in the worship leader. His approach in worship leading was just like me. We are like spiritual-twins in the area of worship. The presence and the joy was like home.

Pastor Bong preached a wonderful sermon. It was a confirmation of what the Lord was saying to me while we were on our way to the Church. I thank God for His faithfulness in speaking to me. Amen!
