Concerning Marriage Life
1 Corinthians 7:1-5
Now for the matters you wrote about:" It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman." But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Now, why do men get married? Because of the lack of self-control? Marriage is designed by God and meant to be something beautiful. NOT to fulfill the sexual desire.. Pastor touches something sensitive but funny, he said when the wife is not in the mood to have sex, then no matter red bull, blue bull or whatever bull he drinks, she still won't have the mood. This is where verse 5 comes in: "Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer." Tolerate with one another and not by force.
Pastor Eric said, no matter we are single or married, it is the gift from God. Therefore appreciate the treasure and live with it:)

My first day of school today, degree course in SIM-University of London, Bsc Accounting and Finance..:) First lecture Managerial Economics with Jean.. After a long break in Sandakan, I'm not dreading myself to school today.. Feeling excited in fact! Good thing huh.. But it's an 100% exam-based assessment, in other words, no projects and assignments at all! Is it something good? Oh well, very subjective.. No stress during the process, BUT when it comes to exam, 4 papers altogether.. I'll be like a zombie sitting at the same place all day long study, study and study......... ~esther~

It has come to an end for my one and a half month 'summer' holiday.. Time flies~! Just back from KL this afternoon by coach.. Here's the summary of my August + Early September holiday... Went to KK for Raya holiday with family for a few days end of August..
A few of us celebrated Wei Shing's 21st birthday at her place on 2nd September.. She invited us to her house and we manage to watch Wu Xia after the celebration..
Balin Roof-top gathering with Bond, LoKam, Tong, Sung Fung, dear, Eryn and Wilfrid.. I realized most of them are studying in UK or from England school.. Everyone is having summer holiday in fact:)
A nice gathering with my church mates as well, Wendy, Lim, Sophia, Bird and Willibrord
Another gathering before Jessie and Valentino left for KL..
Lim, Bird, Sophia and I visited Pastor Edna's daughter Leticia Chang last monday.. Such a cute lovely girl!
She's smiling!
With different and yet interesting expressions..
The day before I flew to KL, it was Mid-Autumn Festival! Well, it's the tradition to play lantern during that day.. A few of us went to Tong's house after dinner..
