Jakarta day 3

Today's lunch is special. Indonesian style Nasi Lemak.


See the rice are nicely packed in small banana leaf. V small size. I think Erick ate 7. I ate 2.


Can choose from prawn, chicken, tau gua and the spare parts. Then they will deep fried it. The prawns are nice. I selected 2 sticks of prawn. Erick had chicken with those spare parts. Heh.


The special thing is that plate of sauce. This dark soy sauce with peanut sauce. U mix it and eat with the rice n meat. Add a bit of chili to it to add some spicy flavour :) nice. I had 2 plates of that sauce and Erick had 3. He has a scary appetite. Haha.


Yummy! Cleared everything!

Jakarta trip day 2

Wanna thank God for the dinner with Richard and Tanaka-san! We talked a lot about religion. Actually before today I had some promptings that I should find chance to talk to Richard about spiritual stuff but I think it would be hard. And also duno how to bridge to spiritual stuff. The dinner was pretty normal. I managed to ask Richard if he is a vegetarian because of religion. He said yes. Din really managed to talk more about it until Tanaka-san asked Richard about his wife. His wife died in an accident in Tibet 6 years ago. Its after that incident that he questioned about the meaning of life and became a buddhist. He says he believe in reincarnation. This sparked off a series of spiritual conversation. He studied in the UK and his wife is actually a Christian and he actually go to church with her. But he believes that all gods in the different religion are actually the same God.
I was very amazed that God can use me in such a way. I prayed that I'll be a good testimony to impact people in my workplace.

He also inspired me. He say he wants to earn a lot of money while he can now and retire at 60 and do charity work. Now he is doing a bit thru the Buddhist association that he is in. But his dream is to build a school in Tibet and name it after his wife. He went on to share he really have a burden for the poor and hope he can do something for them. So he dun spend much. He knows what is his end goal. I was inspired by this and felt guilty at the way I spend my money. Imagine the amount of money I can use to help others! It's really a good time of chatting and getting to know each other. Praise God for the time spent :)

Thanksgiving! PB2G!

Woke up today feeling well rested :D I slept at 9.30pm last nite! First time sleep so early on a weekday! Usually I sleep at 12 midnight. These few days have been v tired. So tired that I even suspected that I was sick. (I only have a bit of throat infection anf didn't see a doc cos it appears to be not seriously) another reason why I slept so early is cos I din have my laptop with me it was with my brother and he didn't return home early last nite. If I had my lappie I would have on it and slept at midnight again and woke up feeling grumpy this morning. Heh..

Lesson learnt: lend laptop to brother more often. ;)

Another thing to give thanks for is that my friend is coming for service this Sunday! It's a friend whom I would never have tot possible to invite for the service. She's usually busy with work and we hardly meet up individually. Only as a group.

God really work in miraclous ways :) she called my last wed evening and told me she'll come by my house to pass me chilli that her grandma made. It's super thoughtful of her, cos she rem telling me and dough that she'll save some chilli for us if her grandma make again. (I don't even rem it!) God gives me wonderful frenz! Praise God for them! (and the thing is I dun even think I deserve them co I'm so not thoughful, critical, petty blah blah blah..) so end up I was able to pass her the invitation card! :) and she told me she wants to go but may have to work.

Yday SMS her for her reply she say coming or the 2pm service but will be slightly late! Praise God that her heart is open! :D
