Why I wear veil/headcovering during mass

I was recently exposed to this.  Wearing a veil or a head covering to cover your head, during mass.  For the first few weeks, I felt uneasy wearing it because I was afraid people would look at me and judge me saying i was trying to show off.  But my heart kept saying,  "you are glorifying God, you should do everything that will glorify Him".. Every time when I wear my veil, I would have such struggle.   One day, I went to Sacred Heart Cathedral, i was in a dilemma to wear my veil or not because i saw there were only two people wearing it.  In my hometown, more women answered the call to wear veils to mass.  And I decided to just wear it. I prayed  " Lord, I am not sure if this really makes you happy or not. If it does not, tell me so that i will stop . And if it does , tell me also so that I will continue wearing this. "  (I wore my veil after the First Reading) .  And then, before the song 'Lamb of God' , a warden, an

How to cook Kiu Nyuk (pork with yams)?

Kiu Nyuk is a traditional Hakka dish.  It is one of the many dishes that i learned from my father.

Fascinating 😃 Hong Kong 2015, Day 3 n 4

  Day three should be considered our final stay with full blasts energy because the next day we had to fly back at 10 in the morning. We went to Salisbury Garden first after we checked out from our hotel. we sat there looked at people and we planned our day. Good gracious I actually had a friend in Hong Kong but I forgot about her. She contacted me after she saw my FB posts about Hong Kong. She suggested a park in Nam Cheong.  We headed to Hong Kong's Avenue of Comic Stars. whoaa! was my feeling. once when i was small and cute, i love comics especially those by Tony Wong. N ot a really massive place but it was interesting. We then headed to a maze garden, It was quite cool though not much challenging for me. Walking around carrying 10 kilos was crazy.   After a long day of walk, we headed to Nam Cheong Park, we asked the locals but none gave us directions cause they said they never heard of such park in Nam Cheong. We wandered and we were lost in a park,a really dull

Fascinating 😉 Hong Kong 2015 Day 2

16 March 2015 Second Day Though I slept late, I woke up really early, 6a.m. Started my day with Gossipsss..

It is before The Avenue of Stars. It is a nice place to hang out . We took quite a number of pictures there cause we were looking good in my friend's camera. Near Salisbury Garden, are The Space Museum, and The Art Museum. Hong Kong Museum of Art  We continued our walk to The Avenue Of Stars. We were super excited to see Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fatt, Michelle Yeoh, Jet Li and Bruce Lee 's names to be printed there. We could not recognise the others. It's quite a long walk if you really wanna see all the stars. Bruce Lee in Avenue of Stars We had our very first chance to use Octopus Card for a ferry ride to Hong Kong Island.

Fascinating 😃 HONG KONG 2015 Day 1

March 15- March 18 2015  You hold the plan.  Hong Kong is a small well-developed city which is divided to four different islands that are connected to each other. Namely; Lantau Island, Hong Kong Island , Kowloon and New Territory. I had a roller coaster 4 days 3 nights trip to Hong Kong.   We saw a good  ticket  promotion to Hong Kong and yes, opportunities like this shouldn't be wasted. We bought it for about RM400 which equals to about 800HKD to 1000HKD FIRST DAY From Kota Kinabalu International Airport to Hong Kong International Airport, it took us 2 hours 55 minutes.  The weather was cold, 18deg. For a Malaysian, yes that is indeed very cold.  GROUP TICKET SET JOURNEY The very first thing we did after we exit the plane was take a video. I would say videos are much better for a throwback. We were lost but we did find the information center. We asked for a map and we went to another counter to buy our Octopus Card (Adult). Octopus card is a jour

Magnificent Manila Philippines 2014

   I went to manila on November last year. It was a 4 days and 3 nights trip.  It was not really a planned trip, it was pretty much an adventure for my 3 friends and myself. The tickets were on promotion, so we were quite blessed on that. I was a bit crazy. Maybe too crazy that I only told my parents, family and friends about me going to Manila a day before my flight. My mother was so angry that she nagged me for hours.  Thank goodness, my father did not really show his temper.                November 27 I packed enough for 4 days 3 nights trip (more than enough to be exact), in one medium-sized bag pack.  I took a public transportation and went to Kota Kinabalu. The journey took about 2 hours before we reached Kota Kinabalu’s Bus Terminal. I stayed the night with my friend at her brother’s house. That night we went out to Center Point to buy some crucial stuff and we tried to look for money exchange counters but most of them ran out of Pesos. The four of u
