Today is the day. Yeah, 15th August 2010 at Tropicana Grand Ballroom. You can see batik everywhere. One might start to wonder are we having a nyonya wedding?? Where was Baba and where was Nyonya?

Well, all the hard work was for today, Church of Praise 25th Anniversary. It all went well and everyone had a joyous celebration. Most importantly was God's presence with us all. God has blessed the worship team, all the pastors, the performers, church members, multimedia, food etc.

We had all the performances lined up dishes after dishes. One might be so busy looking at the stage but not on the food. This especially goes out to worship team, choir, MC, conductor, youth, etc. They have been changing shirt after shirt running up and down. Deep down in my heart, I felt joy and happiness to be able to stand in front of everyone and shout it out loud, Jesus is the Lord most high. I for one felt so wonderful to be a part of COP family and together we worship on this joyous celebration. The next one might be 25 years from now.

Everyone had fun. Some even danced at the closing of the celebration. If anyone were to dance and celebrate, it will definitely be God's people. We have joy, we have love and we have salvation. Amen!

~Time of My Life~

The Sunday worship team was having rehearsal as usual...Nothing unusual on that day..except everyone really poured out the heart to God for all the practices to make Church of Praise 25th Anniversary a success. Well, one more day to go...everyone was pretty excited especially those who has grow together with the church.

As for me and Jeremy,nothing unusual except we went to church earlier to practice. Alright, songs after songs, praise and worship..

Then, the song Glow came...all musicians were playing the intro..well, a usual I looked at the ground before the 1st verse starts...I heard everyone was screaming. As usual, before I even lift up my head to see what was going on, Brother Ooi shook my shoulder and cried out,"PeiPei, PeiPei..look..look!!!".

"What..what??", I asked.

He replied,"Look at the screen!".

Oh my God!!!!!! I saw "Pei Pei, will you marry me" on the screen!!!

I was surprised..but hey the first thought that came to my mind was..this is certainly a prank! Must be one that set up by Joel to trick his brother. I snared at Jeremy then. Everyone was still shouting and sneering away.

Jeremy just took off his guitar...Oh Oh my heart always leaped out! He walked towards me...Someone please slap me to wake me up! I asked Wai Ching, "Isthis a real world or am I just dreaming?". Deep down in my heart I know it was real when he started walking towards me. I was caught of not knowing anything..

As he draw closer and closer, finally he was just right in front of me. I did not know what to say but to look at him with eyes filled with tears. The man I love was standing right in front of me and he was holding a box. I can see how nervous he was. Then the moment came.

He smiled at me and the next minute he was down on his bended knee. He looked at me and said,"I have decided to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me". Right at that second, I feel like I was the happiest girl on earth. To have a man you love so much to say proposed in such a way. Deep in my heart, I wanted to shout,"I do!!I do". Instead, I said I do softly as I was very shy. Everyone was cheering at us. He took a ring out from the box.

Gosh, I have never seen him so nervous before when he was trying to fit the ring onto my finger. His hands were shaking. Well, I did something everyone laughed even until today. Instead of letting him guiding my finger towards the ring,I helped him to wear the ring on my finger instead. All the choir members were laughing. And the next minute before I realized, I am engaged to the person I love so much, Jeremy Loh.

Today, at this moment I always smiled remembering that moment. It all seemed so fresh yet alive in my conscious mind. If I am dreaming, please do not wake me up as I want to stay in that dream.

I just want to tell him how thankful and blessed I am to be with him. Knowing that our relationship is one step closer to marriage. Not forgetting God who has blessed our relationship tremendously, Angela, my sponsor. The ring commentor, Elijah & James. The advisor, Julia and all the other worship and choir members. It has been a God's blessing to have my wonderful brothers and sisters as my witness of that unforgettable day! Thank you and may we continue to serve the Lord with all our heart and soul.

I love you guys. I love you Jeremy!!
