经文： 撒母耳记上30：21～25

大 卫 到 了 那 疲 乏 不 能 跟 随 ， 留 在 比 梭 溪 的 二 百 人 那 里 。 他 们 出 来 迎 接 大 卫 并 跟 随 的 人 。 大 卫 前 来 问 他 们 安 。

跟 随 大 卫 人 中 的 恶 人 和 匪 类 说 ， 这 些 人 既 然 没 有 和 我 们 同 去 ， 我 们 所 夺 的 财 物 就 不 分 给 他 们 ， 只 将 他 们 各 人 的 妻 子 儿 女 给 他 们 ， 使 他 们 带 去 就 是 了.
大 卫 说 ， 弟 兄 们 ， 耶 和 华 所 赐 给 我 们 的 ， 不 可 不 分 给 他 们 。 因 为 他 保 佑 我 们 ， 将 那 攻 击 我 们 的 敌 军 交 在 我 们 手 里 。

这 事 谁 肯 依 从 你 们 呢 ？ 上 阵 的 得 多 少 ， 看 守 器 具 的 也 得 多 少 。 应 当 大 家 平 分 。大 卫 定 此 为 以 色 列 的 律 例 典 章 ， 从 那 日 直 到 今 日 。

A GROCERY LIST…

Posted on April 1st, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Church.

A very good story I received today from my sister, not sure who is the original author, do feel free to forward or send it to your friends.

A GROCERY LIST…

Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store.She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries.She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food.

John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store at once.

Visualizing the family needs, she said: ‘Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can.’

John told her he could not give her credit, since she did not have a charge account at his store.

Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two. The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family. The grocer said in a very reluctant voice, ‘Do you have a grocery list?’

Louise replied, ‘Yes sir.’ ‘O.K’ he said, ‘put your grocery list on the scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries.’

Louise, hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed.

The eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement when the scales went down and stayed down.

The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly to the customer and said begrudgingly, ‘I can’t believe it.’

The customer smiled and the grocer started putting the groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to put more and more groceries on them until the scales would hold no more.

The grocer stood there in utter disgust. Finally, he grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement.

It was not a grocery list, it was a prayer, which said:

‘Dear Lord, you know my needs and I am leaving this in your hands.‘

The grocer gave her the groceries that he had gathered and stood in stunned silence.

Louise thanked him and left the store.

The other customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to the grocer and said;

‘It was worth every penny of it. Only God Knows how much a prayer weighs.’

THE POWER OF PRAYER: When you receive this, say a prayer. That’s all you have to do.Just stop right now, and say a prayer of thanks for your own good fortune.Then please send this to all your friends and relatives.I believe if you will send this testimony out with prayer in faith, you will receive what you need God to do in your and your families’ life .So dear heart, trust God to heal the sick, provide food for the hungry, clothes and shelter for those that don’t have as we do.

Amen & Amen

Categories: Family, Foong Can Cook.

In Chinese tradition, the day before Chinese New Year is a very important reunion for family members. Today, here in Japan my wife, Megumi and I have a good reunion here in our little home. Last year I was alone in Japan…

Not forgetting my wife’s favorite…Coca-Cola…in “romantic” glass…

Finally…before we start enjoy our food (must pray and thank to God)…family photo first…

Megumi is 71/2 months “old” now. She can sit well and likes to laugh (not only smile, but laugh loudly) without the reason known by us sometimes. Really curious what she is thinking. We will do whatever that can make she laugh happily…

Categories: Family.

Got an email from JMST (Journal of Marine Science and Technology) informing me that my 2nd submitted paper has been accepted!

My second paper entitled “Hydrodynamic Derivatives Investigation on Unconventionally Arranged Pusher-Barge Systems” .

Thanks God! I did one revision to this paper and I am glad that it has been accepted without further correction needed. My supervisor has given me valuable guides as well in correcting the paper.

So, in total I will have two papers that are going to be published in JMST. I am a happy man…a nice Christmas present from my heavenly Father.

ShaShinKi.com is 2 years old…

Posted on December 26th, 2007 by KhoKing.
Categories: Photography.

Born on the Christmas of 2005…ShaShinKi.com is two years old now.

With God’s blessing, we enter year 3 for ShaShinKi. With the growth of ShaShinKi, I hope my initial aim of glorify God’s name through ShaShinKi will never change. With more and more people know about ShaShinKi, I hope more can hear the Good News.

Some asked…how do you come up with the name of “ShaShinKi“? Lots of people spell the name wrongly initially…eg. shasinki, shashiki, shashaki…etc. So, what is ShaShinKi? ShaShinKiis actually a Japanese words, which is a combination of two words = ShaShin + Ki. ShaShin means photograph, Ki means machine. When combined, it means a machine that is able to take photograph, which means “camera”. Nowadays, most Japanese will not use the word ShaShinKianymore, rather just “kamera”. However, if you speak out the word “ShaShinKi” they will still understand you but with a weird look of course…

Happy Birthday, ShaShinKi!

Christmas eve…2007…

Posted on December 24th, 2007 by KhoKing.
Categories: Church.

In a few minutes time…it will be Christmas day!

Christmas is not a celebration for santa clause, not a celebration of receiving presents, not a celebration of holiday…Christmas is a remembrance of the birthday of Jesus Christ, son of God who came to earth 2000 years ago to complete the plan of God.

Christ was born, as promised by God to the Israel people. Not just Israel people, but also a savior was born for all the people who believe in God.

Christ was born, not in the glorious place, no in palace, not in the softest bed.

Christ was born, in a manger. Closest to man, to earth, to the poorest, to those who need him most.

Christ was born, not for the saints, not for the good man, not for the rich, not for the rulers, but for those who admit sinners.

Christ was born, from heaven to earth, from the highest to the lowest, from the richest to the poorest.

Christ was born, a savior was born, a king was born, God came in fresh on earth.

Christ was born, for you, for me, for us.

Does Christmas means anything other than holiday to you? You can make Christmas a meaningful day…if you have Christ in you. Having Christ be your Savior, your Lord, your King, your God. Make every Christmas a celebration of Christ Jesus, his birthday for you, not for me or others, but you.

Merry Christmas,

Christ was born!

Study…JMST…paper…

Posted on December 19th, 2007 by KhoKing.
Categories: Rojak.

Thank God…my first paper submitted to Journal of Marine Science and Technology has been accepted. It went through two revisions, first one was tough but 2nd revision is a short one. God is good, all the time. He provided me enough grace to finish the paper. My first paper was submitted in Jan 2007, it actually went missing with editor, so new editor was assigned in July and new reviewers were assigned as well. Basically it took around 4-5 months to get the first feedback or revision. Actual publication date of my first paper is unknown yet, but confirmation of acceptance has been received.

I have submitted my 2nd paper in July 2007 (then only I found out that my first paper has missing editor). I got the reply or correction/feedback two weeks later than my first paper in end of Nov. So the review process is pretty fast actually. I have just submitted my revision and hopefully will hear from them soon in two weeks time.

JMST is an international journal from UK. They have very high standard/requirement of quality paper. It is not easy to get paper published there, but once published, it means your research/paper is of good quality. This is also an assurance to your research which will get good recognition from others.

JMST uses online submission for paper nowadays, which can be found at:

https://www.editorialmanager.com/jmst/default.asp

People there are very friendly, just drop them an inquiry if you have any. I hope to be able to get my 2nd paper published there, and hope to submit more quality paper to this journal in future. Even if you did not manage to get your paper published, the reviewing process definitely still help you to become a better writer and better researchers with very useful comments and feedbacks from the knowledgeable reviewers and editors.

My wife said “anytime”…

Posted on December 3rd, 2007 by KhoKing.
Categories: Photography.

I have the chance to try out a Nikon D3 yesterday. Yes, this is the currently hottest and most anticipate DSLR in the market. Stock is so limited that everybody is searching for one.

Thank God I managed to get one unit for my customer from Japan, else I would be in trouble.

The camera is so heavy…but feel good in hand. Grip can be hold firmly. LCD is big and bright, viewfinder is bright and large! All buttons are nicely laid out…I asked my wife to hold it for a second…she said dare not.

I checked the condition, took 2 frames of test shots, then put the camera back into the box. Yes, my standard procedures of checking the DSLR as requested by customers. This is to make sure that the camera received by my customer is in perfect order instead of them having to send the camera back to me only realizing it is defect upon arriving. Still, D3 as the professional DSLR from Nikon should have very high quality control and check. Made in Japan man…

After putting the D3 back to the box and packed it, I asked my wife when can I get one for myself? As a dealer of Nikon in Malaysia, I can get pretty good price of the D3 for myself. Of course not now as I still have many customers in my waiting list…guess what my wife answered?

Anytime!

I guess she is not serious at all… :’(

Children Blessing Service - Megumi Church (Japan)

Posted on November 12th, 2007 by KhoKing.
Categories: Church, Family.

Today (Sunday - 11 November 2007) we have a Children Blessing Service in our church. All children of Primary 6 and below are going on stage to get blessed/prayer by the pastor. This is done after the message preaching by our Pastor with Bible verses below:

Mark 10:13-16 (King James Version)

10:13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
10:14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
10:16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

Here’s some photos of Megumi and Mum (Lydia) and Pastor Kato to share:

Sarung…bed…addicted…Going Tokyo!

Posted on November 3rd, 2007 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family.

Planning to go Tokyo on Monday (5th November 2007) to do passport and birth certificates for Megumi, renew passport for Foong.

We plan to drive there…it is going to be a long journey…around 850km far…roughly 11 hours drive. Toll will cost around JPY16,500 one way. Still cheaper than air ticket which cost over JPY20,000 one way per person.

We decided to drive so that the journey can be more flexible. Since we have a nice car now (Toyota Wish) and with Navigator, so finding the way is not a problem. Praise the Lord!

Now…one thing that we must bring in order to make our lives easier…

Yeah…the sarung swing. Megumi now must use sarung in order to go to sleep. She will cry for sarung when she is tired. I can’t imagine for the days without sarung in Tokyo…we just can’t take the chance. If she can’t sleep without it…then there is no way for us to find one for her…so must dissemble and bring to Tokyo with us. Thank God our car is big enough for those things, but taking it to the hotel might have some headache…

May God bless us and protect us all the way, in Jesus name I prayed. Amen.

Kaze…flu…cold…

Categories: Family.

It is now getting cold in Saijyo, Hiroshima, Japan. My wife and I were having very heavy/bad flu on Sunday. We took a good rest and was getting better on Monday. I took another day off on Monday and resting more at home. I am feeling 99% back to normal now.

However, my wife is getting bad flu again today. She has work hard in taking care of Megumi while letting me get all the rest. We cleaned the house today and changed all the blankets…etc., tired and now the flu from bad to worse.

I hope she will get well soon. May God bless and protect my wife. May God also protect Megumi from all these disease and grow healthily. May God cleans our sins and protects us from all evil temptations.

In Jesus name I prayed. Amen.

Megumi Reading The Bible (by Siaw Foong)

Posted on October 14th, 2007 by foong.
Categories: Family.

I started to read The Bible Scriptures together with Megumi everyday since last week.

Yesterday, we have read the Proverbs 3: 1~10. I loved this Words especially the verses no 5~7, which becomes my guidance to teach Megumi one day when she starts understand more things. And also my prayers to God that our family will fear the Lord in all things we do. Here the Scriptures say:

” Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make y our paths straight,

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. ”

I also pray to Lord that one day, Megumi could share her findings after reading the Bible. Now, seems like she only can “look look and see see” the Bible.

Yet, still I was moved by her “serious face”, how about you?

Megumi:” Have you read the Bible today?”

Canon EF 50mm F/1.2L USM

Posted on October 12th, 2007 by KhoKing.
Categories: Photography.

I ordered this lens for my customer. The seal on the box was broken, so I was kinda worry. When open and check the lens inside, I saw a dust in the middle of the glass. This is definitely not a new lens. The rear lens mount also looks as if it has been mounted on a camera before.

I complaint to my supplier. They agreed to send a new replacement but it requires 3 days. I was in rush, because my customer needs to receive the lens in Malaysia before flying oversea. It is either I deliver the lens before she flies or a full refund. My supplier doesn’t allow for refund or cancellation of the order, so I have to take the risk and rush it.

Thank God, everything went smoothly. I managed to get the lens to my customer in Kuching from Japan in time. I sent on Sunday evening, reached my customer on the next Thursday. Thank God, He is just amazing!

Here are some photos of the lens that I returned (I circled the dust in red in the 2nd row firstphoto from left):

This is an incredible lens, but will you spend that much money on a 50mm lens? Only for the richie rich.

Today marks the exact two years I am in Japan. I arrived in Japan on 4th Oct 2005, together with my wife.

Today, God has blessed me with Megumi and my wife is still here by my side to take care of me and our whole family.

God’s grace has been overflowed…we have nothing less, more than enough than what we have ever imagine. God has blessed us in my study, my family, my business, my friends, my brothers and sisters.

Life in Japan is like a dream…soon I will be leaving…soon I might come back again…God’s grace and guidance is always the best. I just want to say…

Thank you, Lord!

My wife bought a cushion chair for Megumi last week. Might be a little bit too early for Megumi…we tested a few times and decided to keep it aside for future use, since Megumi is only 3 months “young” now…worried about her backbone.

Here’s some photos with Megumi sitting “in” the chair. She just like to sit up, doesn’t like to lay down nowadays…

All photos taken by my wife.

Renewing Student Visa

Posted on September 25th, 2007 by KhoKing.
Categories: Rojak.

What do you need when renewing your student visa?

Before I came to Japan, I was given 2 years visa pass. Now…in Oct 4th, my visa will be due. I need to renew my visa two weeks before the due date.

Here’s what the required documents:

1. Scholarship/letter of scholarship from Hiroshima University
2. Letter of attendance (meaning that you do attend the classes or go to the university)
3. Letter of student’s results (showing what grade you got for your classes in the university)
4. Passport
5. Alien card (yeah…Japanese calls foreigner alien…)

1~3 just go to the administration office of your faculty and they will assist/prepare you with that. For 2 &3, you can actually print it out from the “machine” using your student card. Free of charge.

You will need to fill in some lengthy form at the foreign registration center in Hiroshima-shi. Just go to the country and ask for the form. Tell them you want to renew your visa and they will give you the form.

Update:

I just got my new renewed visa today. One year extension. Fee? Yeah…need to pay JPY4000 per person. Any other document needed? No, but I was actually supposed to wait for the foreign office to post me a card telling me my visa is ready before I went, thank God I manage to get the visa today too and the people there are very nice and efficient.

One thing I notice. They have official lunch time from 12pm-1pm, but the staffs there never use the time till full. They will take their lunch quickly, and then come back to work. This is Japanese culture, their working style, which is the very main reason they can be such a develop and successful country/nation.

Original Lyrics of Amazing Grace

Posted on May 31st, 2007 by KhoKing.
Categories: Rojak.

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That sav�d a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

�Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev�d;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ�d!

Thro� many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
�Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promis�d good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call�d me here below,
Will be forever mine.

As long as life endures.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall profess, within the vail,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call’d me here below,
Will be for ever mine.
