Alex, Fiona, and Carter’s Baptism

The date was 28th October 2007 Sunday. The occasion? The Baptism of Alex, Fiona and Carter into the Christian faith!

It indeed was a day of great joy as we witnessed the Baptism of this family (Alex and Carter are brothers, while Fiona is Alex’s wife). Really felt happy for them as they declared their faith and were warmly welcome into the family of Christ. Camera flashlights were flashing non-stop. Judging from the bulging bags that they carried home, gifts were aplenty too!

The happiest person that day must have been their mother 金叶, who couldn’t stop smiling.

Call me sentimental or a spoilsport, but the photos remind me of 金叶 and Kennedy’s Baptism around the same time last year (and the post having this photo):

神的话语的确真实：当信主耶稣 ，你和你一家都必得救 。阿门！

Blogging from TPE right now

Recently signed up for M1 Mobile BroadBand. Have nothing but praises for it. The connection is stable and fast. In fact, I’m using it right now to post this entry while seated inside a taxi cruising down TPE.

The hunt for a new TV

Thinking back, I realise we haven’t bought any new TV for our Sengkang flat. The 2 TVs that have been faithfully entertaining us for the past 5 years had been graciously given to us by my uncle who’s a TV serviceman. Back then, he had some used TVs that went unclaimed after he finished servicing them. Two of them ended in my house as house-warming gifts - a 19-inch Samsung and a 23-inch Sony.

The Samsung finally breathed its last a few days ago. Despite all possible kinds of resuscitation,  it stubbornly refuses to be saved. No choice lor, hence is the start of our hunt for a new TV.

This morning I ventured into the newly-opened Best Denki at Compass Point to begin my research. Like a tortoise coming down from a mountain (Hokkien: suaku, 山龟), I realise they don’t sell CRT TVs anymore! Ha ha. Every TV in Best Denki is either LCD or plasma, and HD-ready or not, etc. Looks like this will not be a speedy purchase soon, as there are more shops to explore and more research to be done!
