Waffle Party at Easter - 12th April

We got a Waffle machine from Germany as a going away souvenir and finally got to use it at Easter. Took us 2 weeks to clean the new flat, move and unpack.... So, on hot and sunny Easter afternoon, our families joined us for waffles at our new home.

A very different Easter from what we normally know for the past 13 years (for me) and 19 years (for Derek)... It's not snowing outside and we had our Easter brunch at a hotel!

Derek's family


Derek's mum has been our main cook since we came back from Germany. Really enjoyed her creative cooking!! Now, we have to cook on our own since we don't live just accross the road anymore. Well, nevertheless, we go at least once a week to enjoy her cooking... plus visit the family...

Oops... short of furniture. Well, lets eat the Sabahan way!


We adjourned to the swimming to lose some calories after a whole day of eating...

Our New Home

We have been renting a house opposite Derek's parents place for 3 months. Ideal for us since we literally only sleep in our house and do everything else at Derek's parents place - eat, watch tv, internet... you name it! Nevertheless it has become a bit tiring living in a house that needed a lot of maintenance and our landlord was not willing to do anything about it.

So our search for another place started. Derek has become an expert in house hunting since he took time to look at many houses and apartments advertised for sale or rent. We came across one which we both really like. The bonus, it comes with a swimming pool!!



Grateful to God for His blessing in this way!! We moved to a duplex apartment on the 3rd floor of Seri Borneo Kondominium in April. Well, that's part of the reason why this long silence... After 3 weeks, we have finally settled and had a chance to dip into the pool, host family and friends at our place and have internet & phone connection.



We are spoilt children of God, getting whatever we ask for, in abundance!

Blogging Resumes.... Holy Spirit Camp with RAY

After a long silence, here's us again with our news and updates...

Sorry for the long silence and the boring old stories if you have been expecting some news from us here.

Nothing much happened in February and when March came, there were too many things to write about and no internet!!!

So, we'll be posting our news soon...


Holy Spirit Camp, 20th - 22nd March

We spent a few Saturdays training a group of people who were organising a youth camp for teenagers aged between 13 and 17. It was a joy to get to know this great group of people who are mostly the kids of the members of Light of Jesus Christ Covenant community here in KK.



Derek & I were convinced that the camp can be run by these teenagers themselves and therefore offered them some time to train them in leading small groups and in using their prophetic gifts. It was a joy to see their openness and maturity at that age.



The theme of the weekend was F.R.O.G. (Forever Relying On God) based on the scripture from Jer 29: 11 - 14. The sharings were basically leading the teenagers to trust God because He is a God who loves us without limits.



Some of the kids of the RA shared their testimonies during the weekend. They also organised the games and various activities which added more fun to the camp!



The youth camp was attended by more than 200 teenagers. Many were touched by God's love as we prayed with them for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
