I created this poster using on an online app that is easy to customize with the template of the decos all done. I just added the text, edit for proper size and that's it. Easy peasy! ❤🧡💛 It is true that we need to "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and ALL these things will be added unto you." - Matthew 6:33 in the New Testament of the Bible. ✝✝✝💥💥💥

In this Covid-19 pandemic lock-down, I love what I do online and it has become a hobby. The best part is that I have the freedom to be creative and my artistic soul becomes awake. 💚💙💜

Blogging is simply the best job one could have. A note of caution though! Stay away from politics, grudges and personal matters. Then you are safe and it is safe for everyone to read. Nothing personal here!❣❣❣💢💢💢

Prepare and Prevent, rather than 

Repair and Repent!

Ok, peeps, I gotta go now to rest and take some online course when the will and determination arise. Been quite lazy these few days reading WhatsApp group messages instead of learning online for free, take a test and get a certificate!

Stay Safe, Stay at Home

Now is the time to stay safe and stay at home. To check the latest statistics in Malaysia on the infected and deaths on a daily basis, check out https://newslab.malaysiakini.com/covid-19/en. Also, my partner's nephew passed away of Covid-19 this morning at 1:03 am on 30.3.2020 in a hospital in Sabah, bringing it the first case of Covid-19 death in the state. RIP Wan Jen. He's in his 30s with 2 young daughters, at the prime of his age. May perpetual light shines on his departed soul.

As long as you have internet, you will stay alive! Hey! Hey!

In the meantime, stay safe and stay at home.

Claiming God's Protection over novel coronavirus using Psalms 91

Proclaim Psalms 91 over the uninvited guest or enemy, the novel coronavirus. No one is going to get the COVID-19 in the congregation and that is also true for every child of God who has faith, instead of fear. You see, God works miracles by faith, while the devil works by fear. Fear is the opposite of faith. From Google, faith is defined as 'complete trust or confidence in someone or something.'

Psalm 91 is the 91st psalm of the Book of Psalms, generally known in English by its first verse in the King James Version: "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." ... As a psalm of protection, it is commonly invoked in times of hardship, such as the current pandemic of Covid-19 worldwide.

The text of Psalms 91 is as follows, according to the New International Version :

Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life, I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

AMEN!

Disney on Ice - Under the Sea 2016

The video footage above shows Disney on Ice performance entitled "Under the Sea" way back in 2016, where it was shown in PISA, Penang. PISA is Penang International Sports Arena, now named as SPICE - an acronym for "Subterranean Penang International Conference & Exhibition Centre" in Bayan Baru. You can see the live performance of many world-class skaters in the video above, taken by me.

It was colorful with the theme of mermaids, seaweeds, sea creatures, Arial the mermaid in Disneys' characters, the old bad witch and more. Those were the days before Covid-19 where we could roam freely and enjoy life to the fullest. Due to Covid-19, we had to cancel our cruise to Bintang Island by Genting Dreams, recently.

And then there is the political treachery in Malaysia all because of one man show - Tun M himself, refusing the pass the baton to DS Anwar when he was asked to resign for overstaying and breaking his promise to retire in 2 years time! Well, the 2 years was up a long time ago and this old man thinks he is invincible. He left a legacy that is dishonest, ungentlemanly and certainly back to his dictatorship days where Malaysia has the 3rd highest billionaires of 200 members from the previous BN regime.

Another issue is my spouse wants to do missionary work in Shanghai. I think he is a bit off his rocker, but what can I do?

My 2+ months old Pomeranian Pet Puppy

Leia was born on 20th April 2018 and this old photo shows her chewing her favorite treat at the young age of 2+ months! At first, I called her Princess, but my second sister named her Leia instead of the StarWars franchise establishment. She is so cute in this video that I shot 2 years ago, of my Pomeranian puppy. Now Leia is almost 4 years old this coming April 2020. She had strands of black fur then as a puppy and now all her fur is golden brown. She is smart but an attention seeker. She likes to join in our conversation by barking. Sometimes we had to put her in her place by admonishing her with rolled newspapers. She is just like a family to us now and takes very good care of the house, sometimes too good, that she even barks incessantly at the neighbor opening and closing their door.

When the postman comes or the courier service personnel arrives, she will notify us of her loud barking. Shes's a good guardhouse dog and we love her to bits. My spouse is the real owner here as he cleans after her poop and pee. He also feeds her with treats now and then. It was proven that those with pets tend to live longer and I find this statement to be true. It is so comforting to stroke her pelt and she loves it.

Thomas Cup in Kuala Lumpur on 16th May 2010

We attended the Thomas Cup on 16 May 2010 in Kuala Lumpur. We were late. And by the time we arrive half an hour later, we heard that the match between Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan had ended with the victor being Lin Dan. The ex-number one badminton player, Lee Chong Wei had beaten Lin Dan, one of the best badminton players in the world, a few times, but very rare compared to the number of times Lin Dan had beaten Lee Chong Wei. Well, we missed the highlight of the show in the first round match between the world's 2 top best badminton players.

Due to nose cancer, Lee Chong Wei had no choice but to resign, because health is more important than wealth. Nicol David wisely resigned after peaking at the top of her career, being the world number 1 in squash for 12 long years, If I am not wrong, and for being the longest holder of the title of being Number 1 in Women's Squash with an unbeaten track record.

With the pressure to excel and win the game, it is no wonder that the game ended quickly for Chong Wei. The rowdy spectators were giving added pressure to Chong Wei, instead of helping him, if you watch the video above right to the end and see how they yelled out to support fellow Malaysian players.

2016 Christmas Performance on Superstar Libra Cruise

Above is a removed short video taken by me while on board Genting's SuperStar Libra cruise that no longer berth here in Penang's Swettenham Pier. It used to be a twice weekly cruise from Penang to the International High Seas for the gamblers to play their favorite games, whatever they are, and try their lady luck at winning something, hopefully. Those were the days of leisure and fun, while working hard in a home office. Well, as you can see from the video, it was near Christmas way back in 2016 and we were lucky to get a chance at getting on board this short cruise for a night. The performance was about 16 seconds, so I appreciate if you watch to the end on this lively song and dance. Now as I look back at my old videos, I can reminiscence the good times I had with my spouse and best friend. I hope my future videos will entertain with more songs, performances, and such. In the meantime, Enjoy the show!
