Easter Holidays

Students, how are you? Did you have a good Easter break? I did. I went on a short holiday with my husband. We went to Lombok in Indonesia. Lombok is an island near Bali. Bali is about 4 or 5 hours away by ferry. The island is small and rather quiet too. We enjoyed ourselves. We stayed there for only 3 days. It was enough because we were very bored by the time we were about to leave.
This photo was taken on the night we arrived. The pool did look very inviting. We were starving by the time we arrived at the resort.

This is the view from our room. There were too many trees blocking the view of the sea. If there were less trees, we would have a better view of the sea.

We were on the boat on the way to snorkeling out in the sea. Although the boat was small, the boat ride was rather smooth, we did not feel seasick at all. Thank God!

This is the boat that we took to the islands. When we first saw the boat, we were a little afraid and worried. We were thinking......Is the boat safe? Well, it was. We had a pleasant boat ride.

On the way back to the resort. I love seeing blue skies and blue seas. It's so beautiful. The sun was quite strong so we had to sunscreen on our skin or we can get sun burnt.

On our way back. This is the plane we took to Singapore. We spent a few days in Singapore before heading back to Hong Kong.

Did you have a good holiday? Write and tell me what you did over the holidays.

Why Do We Celebrate Easter

Students, again, I apologize for not updating my blog. I have been very busy at work and at home. I believe you are having fun with the extra 3 days of holidays. But remember, do not touch birds or play with friends who are sick. It is also important to wash your hands and keep clean at all times.

This Friday is Good Friday and then we will have Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. Do you know why we celebrate Easter? And why is Easter important? Easter is my next favourite festival. My other favourite is Christmas. I am very glad and at the same time sad and ashamed.

On a Thursday close to 2000 years ago, Jesus was betrayed by Judas, one of his disciples and brought to court and then he was sentence to die on the cross. It was sad. He has beaten and he had to carry his cross to the hill and there he was nailed to the cross. On Friday, Jesus died. That's why we have Good Friday. At that time, Jesus' family and friends were very sad. They thought that it was the end. Then on Sunday, when Mary (Jesus' mother) and Mary Magdalene went to the tomb, they could not find Jesus' body. Then an angel appeared to them and told them that Jeus has rose from the dead! He has resurrected!

Because He Lives

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone!
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!
