Visitation to Kidzania Learning 11/10/2016

After the sharing about Malaysia on Sunday (09/10/2016), I am troubled and asking what role can I play in the midst of huge challenges.

Company has CSR program bringing students to Kidzania. I myself are interested and passionate in a way because this is about impacting our next generation. On the other hand, a thought came to me as I pray: is not this a good opportunity to be friends with the non-Chinese.

I understand we have prejudices towards certain group of people and I also understand that God transforms the heart of the people who pray.

With strong intention of impacting younger generation and be friends with non-Chinese group, I went...shared about the "ice-berg" and tried my best to be friends.


1. Standard six students: most of them have mobile phones...they are influence by the technology: information overloaded, games, social media...this generation is more IT savvy than the older generations

2. Female teacher told students 1) earn lots of money in the future 2) marry a rich person 3) male can marry 4 female

3. Whilst female students are more prone to use mobile phone for selfie...guys use it for games (make me think of guys need target to hit/achieve...learning from Gen iY)

4. A young thirty over male teacher was using mobile phone to play soccer game in the bus in front of students

5. A non-Chinese colleague of mine asking me about Chinese schools...considering to send children to Chinese school due to the reason that Chinese school or Chinese do better in future

Kian Suan & Ping Xin Holy Matrimony 01.10.2016

Genesis 1:26, 2:18-25

When a person is ready for marriage?
- when you are ready to say sorry to your partner even it's about something you think you have not done

Marriage is like a obstacle race
- be prepared for unexpected in front

What is the secret of strong marriage?
- Continue to make right decisions

3 important decisions (I recalled 3Ms: Master, Mission, Mate)

1. Decide to build your relationship in the love of God
- if your partner knows how to love & be faithful to God he/she will definitely how to love & be faithful you

2. Decide to build and life for a purpose that is beyond your marriage
- your purpose will decide your happiness
- purpose in life to bless other people

3. Decide to love each other sacrificially for the rest of your life
- decide to give one another your 100%
- you use always DECIDE to give your spouse 100% of your love although the other person for whatever reason cannot give you 100%
