Seperti yang kau ingin (As You wish)



Bukan dengan barang fana  
Not by perishable goods
Kau membayar dosaku
You paid my sins
Dengan darah yang mahal
By precious blood
Tiada noda dan cela
spotkess and flawless

Bukan dengan emas perak
Not by silver and gold
Kau menebus diriku
You redeem me
Oleh segenap kasih
By entire love
Dan pengorbanan-Mu
And Your sacrifice

Ku telah mati dan tinggalkan cara hidupku yang lama
I'm dead and so to my old ways of living
Semuanya sia-sia dan tak berarti lagi
Everything has become worthless and meaningless
Hidup ini kuletakkan pada mezbah-Mu ya TuYourhan
I offers this life before Your altar
Jadilah padaku seperti yang Kau ingin
Make up my life as You wish



Dear Lord, thanks for Your perfect love. Paint my life as You wish

Tan Jetty, Penang


A random visit to Tan Jetty. This was our first time here. Before that we never know there are such place exist in Penang island. Besides Tan Jetty, there too Lee and Chew Jetty along the coastal.
Entrance of Tan Jetty
As a heir of Tan, we felt home as we enter the village. I guess this is the only place where we can find true friendly and hospitable in this city. People there live like a big family. Kind of hard to imagine these culture still exist in this century, especially in city.
wc 
We wonder where does the "chocolate cake" channel to..Hmm..better don't ask.

Is this how the Penang looks like in early 40's? Hmm..Could be. 
Good place for dating:)
Penang "water village" 
Penang, what a wonderful island to stay !
Taken by an European, nice shot. Thanks !
Thank God for family.
Welcome to Tan Jetty :p

Good place to visit and shooting. Besides, there is a well known home cook restaurant along the bridge. We shall try by next visit. 

Thank you Lord for bringing us to a such beautiful place. The creator of everything, indeed Your beauty is beyond all these. Proud to be Your beloved child.

Chao Taofu at Tang Steamboat & BBQ restaurant, Penang


I always proud of being a Penangite especially comes to food. Today we accidentally found this taiwanese restaurant in Ragoon Road. What attract us is the signboard - Chao taofu and ma lat steamboat. We never know there too chao taufu in Penang, what a surprise !! 


We were shocked with setting ! It totally gave us a very different feeling, something we had it while we were in Taiwan. Cozy and it is a good place for gathering. Not too quite and not too noise. hmm..sound like my statement quite contradict. 

Again to our surprise, this Tang Steamboat exist in this town for more than 13 years. The owner is a Singaporean while his wife is a Taiwanese. 
While waiting for the food..
Tang Steamboat serves buffet steamboat. The waitress is cute and friendly. Besides it only cost RM 26 per person, which is quite reasonable. 


Above are recommended and new dishes. There are many more choice in their regular menu. The waitress was trying to warn us as we order both spicy soup, ma lat and tom yam. 

To be frank, I don't like the tom yum. It doesn't taste like tom yum and the ma lat soup don't taste spicy. Maybe we are too use to take chile padi as snack at home. 
yum yum..
Teppan yaki fried dumpling, not too oily, just nice and crispy !
Beef slice, a must for steamboat
Chao taofu, lickin' good
For chao tau fu, I got to say that it is the best compare with what I had in Cheras, KL and Shilin night market, Taipei. The surface of chao taofu is crispy while inner is juicy. Not like Cheras night market, too dried and it taste like biscuit more than taofu. I will definately recommended this to a few friends. Again I feel so proud of Penang, even our chao taofu is much better than others. shiok sendiri again..hei hei
what a satisfy Saturday nite
Tiramisu Ice-cream cake, making the dinner even more perfect !!

Chao taofu, I shall come back again
All of sudden, my mind came across this fact-My God is the god who is able to turn the worst condition to a good outcome. After the destruction of Babel Tower, there came Chinese. Without the invention of Chinese, there will be no chao taofu exist. Cheers to my God !

DAORAE Korean BBQ Restaurant


Eat and drinks section! Today we decided to take korean food since Nikki never have it before. This was my third time been to Daorae korean bbq in Tanjung Bungah. As usual, while waiting for food, taking picture is the things we love to do. In fact,I will only do this with Nikki...maybe she is my sis.. that's why I can be who I am, a real me.


Too much beef for the past few days. Hence for the first time bbq, we dint order beef but chicken and lamb instead. The funny part was waiter kept recommended pork. Maybe pork is nice but never been our consideration list. He was surprised as we told him we anti-pork.


                                              The marinated lamb is much nicer than chicken.
                         Having so called " seaweed soup" which is birthday soup for Korean, i guess..
hmm..cute pic, nice shot..taken by ME !!  haha
Overall the food is nice and reasonable price. Besides they do provide a very good service and side disher.

Santorini Cafe


Welcome to Santorini Cafe

Having a simple lunch with friends after Jo's engagement. This was my first time here. Kind of shock with the interior design as the outlook of the restaurant looks like an another "ordinary" cafe. Nothing so special, so to speak. Maybe this is what " don't judge a book by it's cover" means.

No more sleepless night !

Psalm 127:2

2It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so He gives His beloved sleep.

Are you one of those who have trouble sleeping at night? Perhaps just this morning you said, “I was up the whole night — my boy was running a high fever,” or “I slept for only two hours — I was awake polishing up my presentation,” or “I couldn’t sleep at all — I was worried about the bills that are piling up.”

God “gives His beloved sleep”. Who are His beloved? You and I! Because we are in Christ, we are His beloved. (Ephesians 1:6, 2 Thessalonians 2:13)

God says, “It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows…” In other words, it is pointless to worry and lose sleep because the truth is, “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.” (Psalm 127:1)

So let God be the one who builds your career and watches over your financial investments. Let Him be the one who guards your health, marriage and children. Don’t worry and stay up late as if you are the source of the increase, or the one who has the power to make things happen and save the situation. No, God is the one and He says to you, “My beloved child, throw that care to Me and go to sleep.” And while you are sleeping, He is working on your situation. He, who neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121:3–4), works the night shift for you as you sleep!


But because we are such doers and performers, it is hard for us to let go and let God take over. But when we actually do, casting all our cares, anxieties and worries once and for all into His hands, we will see how He cares for us affectionately and watchfully. (1 Peter 5:7) We will see Him taking care of our problems and working things out for good. (Romans 8:28)


Beloved, trust your Father’s love for you. Cast your cares on Him and have no more sleepless nights!




Thank you for being the One who carry all my anxieties, worries, burdens even though I always failed You. In Your words, I found comfort and strength. From this moment onwards, I will surrender my future, career, financial, performance, sales target, relationship and family into Your mighty hand. I believe that You will not only take care all my anxieties nor fixed the situation, but also bring breakthrough in my career, financial, sales performance, relationship and family. 


My Lord is working on my problems and situation. 
I shall rest in Him and enjoy the effortless victory life.
That's what my name mean, Nichole: people of victory
