Vietnamese Encounter...
As promised, the following night I went to meet up with some Vietnamese leaders and with some church members like Uncle Daniel and Sis Lilian.We have our makan-makan time and fellowship with them in Sis Lilian house back in U-Heights.
It was a wonderful and fruitful night. We exchange different traditional games between Vietnam and Malaysia. I learned 3 words fromt here....
i) Por Koan(catching the rabbit by the ear)
ii) Aan Kor(feeding the rabbit with weed...weed in Vietnam is "Aan")
iii) Bu Vous(put back the rabbit in the cage)
And guess what....
it turns out to be
i) Ba Kua..Ba Kut Teh...
ii) Lo Han Guo....
iii) Bor Yong...(Hokkien means Useless)
The iii) one makes me laugh till the Viets feel it funny too!!!
Actually the mechanism is while one person show the action and say it out. Then everyone should listen only and perform the correct action.The person might show action and say it out wrongly. So basically to catch those "followers"...
And when Uncle Daniel says out...Bor Yong and everyone laugh until we dont know what action we should perform...Hahaha..
Then our turn to teach them is the old Lat Lai La Li Tam Pong...there are alot version like Lat Li Li Tam Poi...and the list goes on but they are the same game ;)
We previously have a good dinner too...specially cooked by Sis Lilian...Pai Kut Ong, Salad Prawn, Potato Chicken and some Vegies...home cooked are really different..cannot be denied :D
We end up our fellowship with one another at around 9 sth because some of the Viets are working the next day at 6am. So we left earlier for good with great satisfaction and have wonderful life. We almost forgot to eat the dessert prepared for us until we were at the lift. Luckily Uncle Daniel and me suddenly remembered...haha...all in all, it was a great time having with them.
From this encounter, I can tell not all Vietnamese are labelled as bad immigrants....hope I can continually serve and do in His will to touch people hearts and lives through His word.
Lesson of the Day:-God really PROVIDES for us.
Some of the photos I will upload into the same post because its still in my hphone:D
Till then...have a great week ahead..my afternoon shift starts on Tuesday...:( ¶ 7:28 AM
