Bangkok Haul

I think this is actually my first "haul" post ever. In our not so recent trip to Bangkok, I bought a few thngs and have really enjoyed using them. I thought I might share them with you.



I visited the huge Naraya store at Central Mall. They are like the Vera Bradley fabric bags but at way more affordable prices. I saw this pretty animal pattern and could not resist. I bought this tote for myself and have been using it as a bag for my planner/stationery supplies. It has many pockets, and is so good to have everything organised. I love it! 

 I found these cute roller stamps with phrases on them and the chalk ink stamps. I haven't seen these kind of roller stamps back in Kuala Lumpur and thought they were a nice collection to my stash. I am thinking of doing a post on how I use my planner and my latest hobby of listing in a future post.
Sorry for the blurry photo but this is probably my favorite purchase this trip.  It is a bag insert, also from Naraya. This little magic insert makes my purse and bags so organised!  I will have to show you how I use it another time.




 We found this really interesting store with all the superheroes clothing, accesories and all manner of things. If you know my husband at all, you will know that it was like Christmas came early that day. He got a really nice shirt and even got to try it out in Clark Kent's fitting room :) I am officially one Christmas present AHEAD of him already! Yay me!
 Of course, we had to visit Toys R Us. We helped a friend buy these Starwars thingamabobs that he can't find in Malaysia. I know all the Starwars fans out there are hating on me right now for calling them thingamabobs...sorry...i love Star Wars too but I don't know all the intricate details:)

This was the shrine that was bombed earlier in August. You can read about it here. 20 people were killed including 4 Malaysians and many were injured. This shrine was about a 5 minute walk from our hotel. It is a busy, touristy area, surrounded by many malls. It is a humbling to be aware that our world today is so different, so unsafe. A good reminder that we don't own tomorrow and to live life meaningfully and to never take things for granted!

Have a blessed week ahead!

PS...As I preview this post, I realise that I need to take better pictures!!! Sorry, guys....I'll try to do better in the future :)

To blog or not to blog is the question....

I was wondering if I should keep this blog when we relocate to Malaysia??? I know that our friends in Malaysia and elsewhere are interested about our lives in Kenya but Malaysia??? I am not sure... I am thinking about it... write me a comment if you think I should keep it up!! Some random pics.... This is Max longing for his daddy. He did this the entire time that Tony was in Malaysia.. poor baby! He loves Tony! Awwww......(the girls' favorite expression!) Kat took some pictures around campus....pretty eh? This huge pine tree is on our front yard. This is one of Vickie's teachers. The middle school was raising funds for some social projects and he challenged them if they raised a certain amount he would shaved off his beard and if they raised even more money, he would shave his hair as well! Brave man and they did raised the funds!! Too bad I didn't get the 'after' picture! Vickie is on the far left, as a stage hand during one of their drama production. She ...

A clean bill of Health!

We have been busy with different appointments.....the girls got their vaccination, Tony and I had a general checkup - cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure and several other health issues checked. We are basically healthy. Tony needs to have a minor surgical procedure (on his back) which we still have to work on - finding the surgeon,etc. We also went to the dentist today and the girls and I have NO cavities!!!!! The dentist did some cleaning for us but Tony did have to have a filling done. All in all, the Phangs are in pretty good health - Praise the Lord!! We are also so grateful to our doctor and dentist for giving us their services so lovingly and generously- we are so bless! Another friend (we kinda met on this blog:-) got us rooms in a hotel in Penang, a holiday island- kind of! Woohoo!!!! We will get to have a vacation after our ministry time in Ipoh - we are so looking forward to that. Last evening, we took Tony's mom and sister out for a meal and visited with the...

Getting Ready for yet another trip!

Before I forget, I wanted the friends who have left comments on this blog to know that I read your comments as they are automatically sent to my email address. I tried replying to the address in the emails but it doens't get to you - it just redirects me to this blog again. Anyways, I want you to know that I appreciate the comments- tells me someone is reading what I am writing - I wonder sometimes!! Ok, two evenings ago I had another invite to join an evangelist to Goma, also in DRC. They are doing a crusade there- I cannot tell you how much I want to join them but I can't - not this time anyways. We are in the midst of preparing to return to Malaysia for two months to reconnect with churches and friends who supports our work here and also to give our report. We are also trusting God to connect with more people and churches who are interested in our work here. We need to raise so much more to empower and release more laborers to a ripen harvest in AFrica. I am so overwhelm wit...
