Speech for my sister Ee Won's wedding (Nov 25, 2006)






Ladies and Gentlemen, Distinguished guests, family and friends.

It is my privilege to give the speech on behalf of my dad. It is a privilige not only becoz its my sister’ wedding but becoz I was asked by dad to speak on his behalf. There are some of dad’s friends who know him well enough to know that he loves to be on stage to have his say. There are also enough of dad’s friends here to have been to enough dinners with him to have seen him go on stage at other people’s wedding, invited or uninvited, to say his few words. So it is a real privilige to for me to be ahead of the cue instead of dad to say a few words.

Mum and dad must thank all the friends and relatives that are here for tonight’s wedding. To those that came from afar, and to all of you who has taken precious time to make it here, we truly appreciate it. To Ee Won and Terrence’s friends, thank you for being here and I am sure it means a lot to them.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my parents for raising all of us to be what we are today. They have always loved us with all they have, and with all the ways they know. Just want to say, mum and dad we all love from the bottom of our hearts.

Ee Won you are indeed a treasured daughter and sister at home. When Ee Won was young, dad use to pick her up from school (Assunta) and take her to A&W. Her favorite food was Fried Chicken. But over the years her taste has changed. Now she has a real, real , real fine taste for food, clothes, designer handbags and shoes. So, Terrrence GOT THE HINT? Therefore it is not surprising that Terrence has gone to work in London for a few years to prepare to have a life with Ee Won. Only joking!. I am sure it is for career advancement etc. Maybe if you ask your wife to lower her taste you don’t have to suffer so long in London.

Ee Won on a serious note, (if I can ever be serious), you are a wonderful lady, beautiful and intelligent and a good heart for others. One thing about Ee Won is that she may want the best, but she also gives the best. She never gives her left overs to us and friends in terms of her time and resources. That to me is the 'spirit of excellence'. I pray that God will continue to bless you in all areas and use you to touch others. God had indeed call you blessed.

When you have parents like ours who works day and night, so that you can have the best education and the best in life ---- THAT IS A REAL BLESSING.

When you have achieved so much success in your career at such a young age – THAT IS GOD’S GRACE.

When you have in-laws who accept you as if you are their very own – THAT IS SOMETHING.

And when you have the man you truly love ---- THAT IS THE FINEST THING IN LIFE .


Terrence, we congratulate you on wedding night. Our family is proud and delighted to have you as part of our family. Ee Won is lady with a mind of her own. Often when we ask her to do something, she may not agree instantly, or after much protest. But today, in the church service, when you asked for her hand, it is one of the rare occasions that Ee Won actually agreed to something without any protest.

Mr & Mrs.Tan, we formally welcome you to our family and hope that we will continue to cement our relationship and friendship beyond tonight’s wedding.

To the both of you. I wish you the very best in your life together and every magical moment that life can bring, and may God continue the cornerstone of your lives and the foundation of your marriage.

Year of Open Door

A Prophecy by Kenneth Copeland

The year of 2007. What will it be like? Will it be a year of disasters andcatastrophes beyond imagination as some have predicted? Or will it be a continuance of the glory of heaven being manifest? The year of 2007 will have some very serious catastrophes. There will be some things happen that the world will not know how to handle. But you may rest in Me, saith the Lord, because the manifestation of My glory will be so great in the year of 2007 and such overflowing revival throughout this nation and around the world that you’re hardly going to even notice the natural catastrophes that happen in 2007 and the things that the devil is trying to do will get caught up in the – in the swell and the explosive power of My Spirit being manifested, saith the Lord.

Hallelujah.

2007 will be known as the “Year of the open door”. My Word states in Revelation chapter three that I open doors no man can shut. I shut doors no man can open. There are those of you over the years that have set out with commitment and resolve to do things that I have assigned you to do, and over a period of time it looked like the devil just slammed the door in your face and some because of catastrophic things happening in your family, others because of sickness and disease that has attacked and others because of financial disasters and just plain old not enough money to get it done that the devil was able, as I said, to just slam the door in your face. But you hear Me now, saith the Lord, I am opening your door! I am opening your door! I am opening your door and in 2007 the devil or nobody else will be able to close it on you! Don’t quit! Don’t give up! The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Don’t give up on this nation. Don’t give up on your church. Don’t give up! Don’t quit! Don’t stop! 2007 is the year of doors open and held open. Go through them with great faith and stay on the Word.

Stay on the Word! Stay on the Word! You stay with Me. I’ll stay with you and together we will see victory beyond anything you or anybody else has ever seen before!

Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. Glory, glory, glory. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yes, bless the Lord. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Oh, glory to God.

And by that same token, saith the Lord, there are certain doors that the devil has been holding open; doors of war, doors of destruction, doors of all kinds of disobedience and blaspheming lies and tongues. Well, I’ll tell you in 2007 you and I together are going to slam the door on him. We are going to slam it in his face. We are going to walk on him and you are going to find out what I meant in My Word when I said set your feet on him and walk on him. He has been put under your feet. He is becoming the footstool that I said he would be. And now is our time, saith the Lord. Hallelujah. Yes. Bless the Lord. –

Year of Supernatural Bounties

You showered me with abundance O God
You have announced Your Word
Your Word that never fades, that never fails,

Your Word refreshes me O God
Your Word enriches my land with abundance
I will always rest in Your Word,
For You are the Father of the fatherless
From out of Your bounty, You have provided for me.


You crown my year with bounty O God
All my carts overflow with your abundance
I am drenched with Your goodness O God
Your streams fill all my furrows and ridges
You restore me O God with Your favor
Your goodness, Your grace

O Lord, I will come to Your temple,
With burnt offerings and fulfill my wows to You .
I will praise You O God
For You have always answered my prayer
With your awesome power and grace
I will praise You O God.
