November...???

Kinda miss blogging & as usual i'm hook up with work & wedding preps. Candy on her maternity leave for almost a month. I'd say, everything kinda goes well when she's not around. Of cos it will be better if she's around :) the bonding between myself & the designer came closer. I'm not sure about them. Seeing them kinda relax with me is kinda cool.. who wants to work with a stressful superior right?. But too relax sometime, til i got worried what if the we miss the dateline.

i'll be taking out my braces next month :) i'm kinda excited but i also have the nervous feeling. There are 2 gaps still there & taking out might be another torturing session as Dr. Lee is not a gentleman at all!. Plus, few more hundreds, i will be finish paying off my rm6,000! aih... *relief*

This month we spent alot for the wedding stuff.. the deposit for MTM bridesmaid dresses, wedding rings & the deco for the church ceremony. Firstly, I'm kinda feel relief that we decided to bless the girls with custom made dresses.. i love to bless them with something that out of the usual & it suits my theme.. can't wait for it to be done by end of the year :)...the first mock up for the church deco wasn't what i wanted to have. May Ee did a good job but there are still someting missing. So we spent almost RM90 on flowers & cloth for another mock up. Now, hopefully this will work out. Simply & sweet, that's what i'm looking for :).. got some costing from various deco company for weddings, the cheapest is rm2500.. that also not up to my requirement. Too simple. With rm2500, i think i can make better ones :)..Now the most pricey of all for this month.. the RINGS.. we thank God for given us the peace as we hunt for it. Been to few jewelry shops..yes & no.. but when it comes to this particular one, we were like, 'that's it'.. i'm glad.. is like as if there is a wave/frequency in us & telling each other that 'this is it'.. God gave us the peace & we both settle with it. Alot of hard work but it's worth it.

The next coming month, December... to do list are,
~more & more facial
~ more sleep
~ eat more
~ trim hair
~ shape eyebrows
~ appointment with favor supplier
~ appointment with Dr. Hong
~ parents to insert the names of their guest
~ parents meeting up session
~ compiling childhood photos
~ PRE WEDDING PHOTOSHOOT! *wooohooo*

Hmm.. not that i know what is going on with the nation on this special holiday 1 Malaysia, but i had fun bonding with my man... MY DAD.. a day before the holiday, i booked him, knowing he got many arrangement with his friends for golf & tennis..

We went to have our late lunch in Mid Valley & the Gardens. I tell you..my dad is into shopping that day! He bought stuff from Studio R, Nike, Isetan & Marks & Spencer. We left that place & headed to KLCC after 3hours. I was shocked with his suggestion. I'm kinda like tired, but because of his enthusiasm & the bonding, i agreed.

God is good..we manage to get parking easily at this 2 places.. *smiles* we had fun commenting retail designs..its fun to comment about certain things with him..He'll educate me. We learn from each other. OH! if you like cheese cake, Isetan has the best OJISAN cheese cake!..*yum* since bro not around, i shall have his portion.. *muahahahaha*

I love & enjoyed the entire day.. shopping, had great food, share our interest in design & dad was sharing his staff issue at work with me!.. i will definitely miss him & miss our moment next year.. when i get married.. i don't know whether i will tear when he hand over to my lion & the moment he walk me down the aisle. I'm so blessed to have him..if my dad is such adorable..how much more my heavenly daddy?..

:)

the 3 and the 0

Yes, from this day forth, my life will be different. What so great? i told myself, 'bye bye to 20's, bye bye to my single-hood, no more 'lay-back' kinda attitude, bye bye to eating nonsense & BIG hello to the new me in 30, hello to new family, hello to 'family planning', hello to risk taking in career, hello to eat right, sleep right'... I'm excited about turning 30.

30's...so much to do, so much to expect. I give myself 10 years. 10 years to achieve some remarkable results... it can be anything...then by the time i turn 40, i'll ask myself 'what have i achieve? & it was all good' :)

Woke up this morning with lotsa sms... even my facebook flooded with wonderful wishes. very nice...

Mom called this morning... & she sing 'Happy Birthday' to me in mandarin *smiles* so sweet of her..

Dad sms me with Winter's pic...sweet...then i miss Milo..

Don't feel like working now... is only 3pm.. wana go back & have dinner with my lion :) he said he has arrange something for me tonight, i wonder what is it :) so sweet of him...

Looks like turning 30 is good :)

Impossbile dateline

Just when i posted i was sooooooooo freeeeeeeeeeeee.... yesterday, this morning, my client called up & told me a bad news... they wanted 3 showunits to be up by end of this month!!! my eyes almost pop out. This client of mine, is very nice, she reason with her boss that it is impossible but in the end, boss is always win. I told her, is impossible, blah blah... after the conversation, i called my boss..my boss corrected me that i shouldn't have said to the client that, we can't commit even though the dateline sounds impossible. *hmm*..my bad...but then, i was telling the truth!

Looks like this month, i'm back on action again... busy busy...

I'm back!

I have nothing to do in the office..so i thought of my abandon blog :p after my client announced that the project is under KIV, i was totally, workless... like, suddenly so free!!... i'm so not use to it. I've done as much as i can now. I feel like those people ready to celebrate Raya...

Been down with fever & cough lately. The Doc says i was having 39 degree Celsius fever & that is high. Took 2 days mc, & i was even sicker because i was so bored at home! not just that, having white porridge + salted fish 3 meals a day for 2 days, is a torture! Fever came & left, it came back, then it left.. i consumed 12panadols for the last 3days!... *sick* i always believe 'let the body fight against the sickness'.. this time, i can't tahan... anyways, i'm getting much better now *smiles*

Watched PCK last saturday.. & so sweet of my lion, he booked 2 movies over the weekend. Wasn't that good to me, i expected more creative story line actually. Well, some dialog are funny, but the story line, erm...2 out of 5. Suppose to watch 'Going the distance' on sunday, but because i was down with fever again, we have no choice but to cancel our date *sad*.. think i rather watch Justin Long + Drew Barrymore than PCK.

the BIG 7th of May :)

Exactly 1 year from now, I'll be married to the lion :) i was so excited yesterday & today... but the excitement doesn't hold long, cos my mouth pain due to the braces *sad*..

On the night that he propose, i did alot of thinking.. thinking that I will leave my family for good to stay with my husband. To join a new family which i don't have any personal touch before. The feeling of 'missing mom & dad' really overwhelming.. plus, I WILL miss very deary is my Milo & Winter. I won't be able to cuddle them anymore. Unless i go back of course. Dad say 'tell wei shin, is a package, he wana marry my daughter, he gotta take Milo+Winter along.' *lol*.. as much as i want it, i don't think i can. *bleh*

I think i'll be REALLY excited about the wedding on the day i get to take out my braces *big smile*.. *cross fingers* 'thank you Lord..'

Updates!!

I don't know where to begin my updates.. hmm..
Start with my Milo.. she became totally opposite what a Jack Russel should be a month ago. None of us know what had happen to her. She became moody, flat ears, no appetite and shivering the whole time. Did blood test & other muscle test, she seems fine. But recently, her neck got real stiff as if she's got muscle cramp. Her entire upper body is so stiff..she can't relax herself. Her barking also have changed too!..she sounded like an old dog barking. :( yesterday nite she was zzz by my side. I was awaken by her *pity sighing*.. i pat her & ask, 'what's wrong, Milo?'...doze off..then again she make the same sound..i massaged her neck, but there's no sign of pain.. but her neck now have gotten swollen a little.. OH NO!.. the last time Junior died because of some tumor in the neck. I gotta take her to the hospital.
I just had 2 mini screws in my jaw bone..the anesthetic make me go *weeeehoooooowaaaaahoooo* the whole time.. i'm tired, weak, blur, sleepy eyes, headache & lose appetite. Dr. Lee say i should postpone my pre wedding shoot nearest to my wedding date to have a good result. He said the screw treatment for the front teeth at least take 6 mths. Well, counting from yesterday, til the agreed photoshooting day, it will be 5mths..

I HATE THIS!!

Dr. Lee : You better make it next year lar, your photoshooting..

Me: Huh?? cannot...oredi set..

Dr. Lee: Need at least 6mths to set nicely lar your teeth..

Me: Nevermind, i pray to my God, that He'll speed up the process. It will take less than 5 mths..

His trainee (tudung gal) stare at me..

Dr. Lee: In my experience, is 6 months..

In my heart: YOUR ANSWER IS NOT FINAL..if He can grant my desire which all my teeth can get straight within 6 mths..i don't see why He can't grant my next desire this time. Amen!.. He is a God of miracle!

So....yah...5 more mths... of course i need to be prepare for the 'what if'...but that's not important..What's important is, I keep praising Him.. *smiles*..*ouch* smile oso i rasa sakit adi now..

Finally!! parents agree with us on having our wedding reception in Concorde Hotel Shah Alam. Mom came back last week & she was so excited about it. Actually she wasn't really..until we had dinner on sat. Cos wei shin would like to buy her & popo dinner to celebrate mom's day. When we talk about the wedding, she got over excited.. she called up all the aunties & uncles (dad's side) for a meeting on sunday afternoon. *lol*..

Next month, when she comes back, it will be the 'keng char toi' session... it simply means 'tai chan'.. my parents meeting up with his.. *scary*..

God is in control

Disappointed. We didn't get to go to bangkok this month..but good news is, we get to postpone the trip. *yay*... as i was packing, i was all ready to go..the excitement of packing to go for a holiday was so overwhelm, even though the situation in bangkok kinda bad. Oh well, better be safe than sorry..

I guess is a blessing in disguise.. didn't get to go to bangkok so that i can be with dad during his toughest time. I got an early sms from his this morning, saying "Our office & warehouse got burnt down... suffer total lost" i was shocked to see the sms. Tried calling him, but it went to voicemail. Called cousin, since he's dad's staff. According to him, it was seriously total lost.. *sad* it was all over the news on tv & worse still the media mentioned the company's name.

I really don't what to do.. what to do to cheer him up?..i guess i don't have to do anything..hope my presence will make him feel better. His not at home, busy running around with the rest of the directors to make report,insurance claim & a temporary office.

I pray...pray for favor with the involves party, insurance company, police & people who can rent a place for them to continue their operation.

I don't dare to ask alot..not just me, the whole family don't dare to ask alot about the accident. Was it an accident? Dad is a man with few words... when he is in good mood, he'll started to make lame jokes, laugh at watever he thinks is funny, making fun of certain things..but when got things bother him, he's QUIET.... very quiet.. that's when you don't want to ask him anything..better don't..we jus communicate via sms...

I believe, the greatest the lost is, the greater God's opportunity is. It will be a better operation company & a bigger warehouse with better machinery. *amen*.. Nothing is impossible for God. He is always in control.

Colors selection & booking a date for photoshoot

I was just thinking about the color concept for the wedding. Actually, I already short-listed few colors last month. But then, it might not match the deco setting in the hotel. They're restricted to certain colors for the ribbons, deco, flower stands & etc.. I need to work some magic on it!! Lotsa home work to do..These will be the range of colors...now i just need to pick some.

Yesterday, I called up Redbliss. Want to speak to Jojo, our wedding consultant. A lady spoke to me with a frustrated manner. "yessssssssss, what are you inquire for?, Jojo? she's not free at the moment, you can speak to me... Yessssssssssss, i'm the boss here, my name is Alice......Nooooooo, you can't come on sat to do gaun fitting, photoshoot & picture selectiong. Why you need to do photoshoot in sept/oct? why so early?...u can do it in Dec/Jan..." then there are some parts i don't quite understand and she goes 'huh? u don't understand isit?, ok, i explain further...(she explain), ok or not?? now you understand or not?, go back ask your husband discuss with him when the actual day you need to do photoshoot'....BUT I ALREADY TOLD HER I WANT IT TO BE DONE IN OCT!!...'i already say no need so early..later can'

BLOODY !@#$%^^&**&^%$#@!

Today i called up again to try to get Jojo, a lady picked up, she's rather nice, better than the boss..her name is Christine/ Catherine, forgot!... she's nice.. saying that no need to make appointment with Jojo on sat. Walk-in & book the photo shoot day doesn't take that long.

The staff is even have good PR than the boss... what da! i really pray for God's favor this weekend, so that we can book the dates. LOCK-IN the dates..

To go or not to go? Do i have a choice?

Next week is our bangkok trip 21st - 25th april.. I'll be leaving 2 days earlier for business trip.. YEA! i know what is going on in bkk... heard alot of bad feedbacks from the tv & radio. Also heard good news that it wasn't that serious. The last i heard, there was a demonstration outside the Holiday Inn in Ploenchit Road, where we suppose to stay the first 2 days & shopping malls were closed at that time for days. These few days, we've been keeping in touch with the Thai embassy & we hope for the best.

I was looking forward into this trip, after 2days of business trip, i'm suppose to join the rest for our own holiday. I'm sure their parents & family also worried & questioned their decision to go. *Wshin, Angie, Tai lou & Peter, is ok if you guys decided not to go Bkk, i truly understand* In my case, i got no choice. My boss want to sacrifice our life to go..& he kept saying, 'that the situation will be fine'. such a positive person.. :S. I really pray hard for God's protection to be upon the team & my friends.. I pray that our trip will be a fruitful & fun..hope that i don't miss out anything & manage to courier back the stuff.. It will be adventurous for me because i'll be leading 3 blind mice (my junior designers).. well not to say i'm familiar with the area, at least..i can still remember abit. Please pray for me yah! so that i don't get sesat in bkk..I love adventure!! i wish i can go to bkk all by myself..checking in, boarding, check out going through custom. Well, without any hiccups of course.

The lion is so sweet :) he told me this 'if you have to go bkk at this time of riot & demo in bkk, I'll go too..meet you there on the 21st..up to the rest whether they wana go or not, but I'll be going to meet u there, don't want you to spend a week there alone.'... sweeeeeeeeeeeeet lion :D *feel loved* I never thought of this kinda decision. I thought if the situation got worse, i'll inform the rest not to come to bkk..(that's included my lion). this what i call, out of love.. :)

Lord, the decision is Yours..You have the final answer & no matter what the decision is, I know You'll be with me no matter where i am. I need You lord, to lead me.

Lovely dress for the ROM

Yesterday went to Hartamas Shopping Mall to jalan jalan..actually more like want to scout for wedding mag to stir up the excitement in me *lol*

Before i pass by the book stall, i thought of seeing some dresses, (just for fun, since i don't always shop for wedding dresses). They displayed 40% sales on bridesmaid dresses.. *lovely* well not all are *lovely*.. the long dress % are from 30%.. which i think is not bad at all..

So i saw this dress & i love how it sparkles.. that caught my eyes instantly.. so i went to try it out..it looks lovely!!... it fits nicely on the waist & need a little alteration to do.

Nice Duchess Satin Dress... (Geri, i hope this is what you mean..kekeke)

Love the detail..these caught my attention *sweet heart*

So how much?? RM248 after 40% rm148!!... i've decided to wear this on my ROM.. such a great deal, i don't want to miss it & if i do, i'll be ended up blaming.. haih.. Nice or not?? :)

Bangkok trip & BIG+BIH 2010 fair

Bangkok trip is coming.. *excited* can't imagine all the shopping..*evil laugh* *boohoo*... but i think the main priority will be for the wedding.. need to sit down with May Ee, what to get.

Our trip is from 21st-25th this month. And i've been schedule to go 2days in advance to shop for the upcoming showunit in kajang. *YES!!* we'll be goin to the BIG+BIH 2010 fair. *love it* though we'll be looking for some stuff for the showunit, it'll be a good opportunity for me to 'look see look see' stuff for the wedding. *hehehe*

They have alot of things for the export business.. i just love bangkok!.. Here are some sneak peak of last few years fair:

Wooden deco

Ceramic Deco

Toys!!

Accessories..every gals favorite
Leather!! the smell of the leather!...*high* already..hahaha..This is good for souvenir

C'mon is FUN! not a stress.. wedding planning is FUN!

So many things to take in to consideration *haih*... my mind constantly think about the wedding.. we confirmed the bridal house so far..we signed up a week after our engagement! *muahahaha*.. well, at least that part solved.

NOW! is the venue... :( w.shin & i wanted Sime Darby Convention Centre. Though we got alot options, but we still prefer SDCC. Too bad it was booked on the 8th May 2011 :( OH YAH!! it will be on the 7th & 8th of May 2011, everyone! :p Found Concorde Hotel Shah Alam, quite affordable.. & few others club house. I have no idea about Concorde. To me, is like a hotel operates by 'mah chans'.. imagine, they prepare chinese food! Don't know how 'good' it will taste like :S i got a bad feeling about it. He said, no harm trying. Ok lor.. Dad commented that the place a little far for the family. Which i think so too..knowing all the aunties, sure complain. (-__-)

I wish (HOPE) money really drop from heaven now. Whatever our parents contribute (more like his parents), we're giving back to them, after the wedding. Feels bad to use their $. We need to be wise in planning & spending. We're still putting our honeymoon as priority, that's for sure..

Another item that stress me out is looking for photographers for actual day.. *haih*.. the price is so so pricey.. told w.shin, that we don't want sucky pics..we want good photographs.. so might need to spend on this area a little more.

Just engaged with a make-up artist for the actual day. Marcus, our family friend offers me quite a good deal for 2 days event.. *everything included* at least this item can strike out from the list.

May Ee & i are looking into handmade deco for the wedding. *excited* i can't wait to team up with her again for doing the deco. With all the contacts that she got, hopefully we can save abit on deco. *smiles*

I was discourage the other day after spoken to my friend on the phone. From a 'friendly long time no see' conversation to an 'awkward stressful & defensive' conversation. I'm so disappointed at her for not being understanding what i'm trying to explain. She kept saying that 'it is a must to move out, when you're married'.. i told her, if i got the $ now, who doesn't want?... everything will be by my own...oh well, yea.. i don't even want to blog further about this. I just need an understanding heart. That's all i need. Anyways, Our 'dream house' shall start after the wedding!! *excited* :D do 1 thing @ 1 time..

Wedding planning suppose to be FUN!! that's how i remind myself every time i stress. What's so stress??, if you got limited budget, then you'll know..is like designing million dolars worth of a house using cheap stuff.. *opps* i got into my work again..

Geri, i wana thank you for all the information. Really appreciate your help :) thank you for making us feel part of what you're doing. Really exciting! hehehe...

what's next????

VENUE & ACTUAL DAY PHOTOGRAPHERS!

Bye Bye Akuzawa...

ALL THE BEST, TADASHI SAN!




It could be my last time seeing Akuzawa Tadashi. My intern just left us. It was fun working with him. A very unique personality & he said alot of kind & generous words towards you. You need this kinda people around always to lift you up. I wish him the best in the future.

I did some home work these few days, prepared a rough guest list, sourcing restaurants & hotels in PJ& Subang. Just only i spoke to 2 wedding photographers. Daren Chong & William.G (My Wedding Photography) Both gave different advices but my heart goes to Daren. Can't decide on anything now until i get Daren's quote. Meanwhile, William's quote is quite pricey.. (with all his winning certs advertise) *no wonder* I'm still waiting for Jon to get back to me. *haih*

Called up Eastin Hotel, Sunway, One World, PJ Hilton & Saujana (Hyatt) too.. will get their quote by tomorrow. I've done my homework on the Restaurants. Oriental Pavillion & Grand Imperial. Both serve non halal *HAIH*..

The 19.03.2010 of my life :)

Waaaaaaaaaaaooooooooohhhh! It's been so loooong!.. & i almost forgot my password! :p I'm excited to blog. YEA! recently I just accepted the proposal from my lion :) hehehe, & also i already got a fan! who wants to read & share my joy. hahaha! *jeng jeng jeng* GERI!! thanks so much for all the support & info. hehehe..

Alright..*inhale*.....*tahan*.... *exhale*...On the 19.03.2010...my lion proposed to me...It was like any other ordinary day to me. Just like a normal gathering with some friends. But it wasn't an ordinary venue to have dinner though O_o *lol* anyways, i didn't suspect anything at all! But sometimes, my *the other flo* in me can somehow think 'wow! romantic place, what if he propose? shall i hint at him that this is a nice place?'...*lol*, i do get alot of this questions sometimes from *the other flo*...hahhaha! now she's gone! cos, I'M ALREADY ENGAGED!

HAHA...Anyways, I asked him a day before, would it be expensive? & I don't really wanna spend so much. He said it was alright, a person around 20/30bucks?.. alright, but that night, i was staring & reading the menu for a long time, cos what he mentioned is almost double up!.. Francis jokingly said,'i think you can memorize the menu already'.. So we had our food, desert.. & before that everyone starts snapping pictures.. i mean only Sue & Geri.. THAT also i don't suspect anything. I even took out mine & snap some..

The most SWEEEEEEETTTEESSTT 'dessert' took place after he called the bill. The bill arrived & it was place on the table. 'How come nobody attended to it?' i asked, he asked to check it. 'huh? i check the bill??' When i open it, i don't see any bill, you know how receipt look like, there's none except for a piece of paper with big words on it & i thought it was just a recycle paper..WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS I THINKING AT THAT TIME??.. too much recycling everyday in the office ler!..I hand it over to him..& said 'nothing also'..'check again lar' he said...

When i open it again, I saw it. It became very sharp to me, The front note written 'WILL YOU MARRY ME?' i can't believe it!.. hand it back to him again & said 'Lei mou wan ngo lar' means, You don't kidding me.. He got down his knees, showed me the ring, & he asked 'flo, will you marry me?'.........................................................................

*SILENT*

I was in a shock...laughing, looking at everyone, duno what to say... 'will you answer me? is embarrassing, when everyone is looking' he said. Awww... *smiles* and i said 'YESSSS'... It was the joy-est moment at that time.. Here are some pics... *smiles*

Dec Updates

Whao!! Its been a looooooooooooooooonnnggg time since i blog..

Guess nobody reading also..hahhaa..everytime come to this blog, same old post.. :p hahahhaa

Oh well, been very busy nowadays..

~My director left the company leaving us all working like a crab...

~Year end, everyone is rushing for Christmas, New Year & Chinese New Year...

~My colleague, Candy got married recently, what a privilege to be her bridesmaid. I'm a good bridesmaid, cos i make sure they feel comfy the hold time, & i'll be their extended help & hand. *cheh cheh*...

~Jack+Steph just got married recently TOO!... so happy for them, finally after 9 YEARS of courtship :S God is good *smiles*

~We just started our Choir practice for Chirstmas like last 2 week ago. Busy...good thing all old songs, but i kinda forgot the timing & the tune. We got lotsa new choir members this Christmas. *yay* hopefully they'll join permanently.

~Uncle Danny recently discharged from hospital. His battle with Pancrease tumor has finally over!!..God is so good! I'm so glad.. I'm so touched to see their family dwell together so tightly at the time of difficulty. Even Uncle Danny say, that it was the family support & prayers. I'm so so touched...well, why should i, when i don't have any blood related to them. Well, Geraldine & Kelvin has brought myself & weishin to their family way long time ago. Didn't realize our friendship can flourish til with their family as well. I feel we're part of it. Though, we're still the 'outsider' in other area related to their family matters. Anyways, tomorrow will be my first trip to Cameron Highland with them & their family. (thanks sis & bro for this great opportunity, you guys had a great family bonding)

~Is December!! I'm waiting for my supernatural bonus & increment!! we're so busy, sometimes i think my boss purposely forget bout it. (-_-) haih... nevermind..Thank you Jesus! Reward comes from You & I trust in You. *smiles*

I'll be off tomorrow til Sun! yay!!

Blessing - can't contain it :)

So blessed...can't express how glad i am now. Since i accepted Christ, i've been telling God what i want in life.

1) To own a business, particularly something related to what I involve now.
2) To own at least a property - of cos the more the better.
3) To bring/bless my parents tickets to where they wish to go.
4) Have a nice set of teeth - which what i'm doing now.
5) Lastly - to have a God fearing boyfriend/husband.

Still working on item 1, which i got a contact that might help, 2 and 3 kinda hard for now, but still gotta make room for it. Last item, God answered half of it. *lol*...not my husband yet. But i'd say, he surprise me. The things that he speaks towards me, the situation, himself and others, it is just encouraging. *smiles*... Sometimes i feel ashamed for being so many years as a christian and yet there are times, hardly run to God when we're stress. Instead let it out on those who close to me. *haih* sad isn't it?

I'm glad...glad to have him always, without fail, words of encouragement that he gave, the support and prayers that he gave. Just that day, i was having bad mood in the morning. As usual, he'll be my target. Instead of being defensive, he shared what he did that morning while preparing to go to work. He prayed, pray in tongues. He advice me to do the same. After that, i went to client's office and while driving, sing in tongues... very encouraging. Instead of mumbling about going all the way to jln. sg besi, i follow his advice. God is so so good. The traffic was good! better than what i expected.

Without fail, he direct me to God. without fail he is always there. Of cos, he is not my god. Jesus will still be my groom no matter what. I'm just very glad to have Lion.

So item no. 5, 50% fulfilled. half more to go *winks*... "Thank you Jesus, You have grant my half desire, well, almost...thank you for that man who has a fearful heart for You, who loves you."
