life through my eyes

hello again

2008-06-07T09:16:00.000-07:00

hello to the readers of my poor old blog..i know i promised to post more once I'm in Kampar, but thing is i have no internet connection there..apologies...

well, nothing much has been going on, coz Kampar is so dead.....seriously..there's nothing to do there..the irony is, i have more freedom there but there's nothing to do, compared to i have no freedom in Klang but there are so many things i can do..haha..

I tell everyone, Kampar is such a quiet place that you can walk blindfolded in the middle of the road and nothing will happen to you..unless you get hit by a stray cow or bull, but thats another story entirely..haha

well, one thing did happen though..last wednesday (28th may) was the first time i donated blood..we had a blood donation drive in our uni..i was scared at first, but in the end i held my breath, suck my guts and went for it..it wasnt that bad..juts what happened after that....

i didnt know that once you donated, you needed to eat immediately after that..the nurse gave me a packet of milo, an orange and a piece of cake..i knew i had to eat them (duh) but didnt realise it should be consumed immediately..so i took the plastic bag of food, went up the stairs to the DSA office, and suddenly i felt lightheaded..i felt like pucking so i swallowed my saliva..then suddenly everything went black..i opened my eyes, and everything was yellow in colour..thank God my friend was with me (thanks so much crystal! you're the best) and she helped me walk to the nearest chair, sat me down and made me eat my food..haha..after that i felt so much better.

went to CF on wednesday..there were about 25-30 of us..my first time evr going to a CF..never been to one in my school days..praise and worship was fun..learnt a new song..with actions..it was pretty hillarious..haha..but i enjoyed myself..after that we had some sort of Bible study..on Jeremiah 35..not bad..considering it's my first time..

the bus ride back home was at least 5 hours..so tired once i got back..now im also feeling my eyes drooping..think it's time to hit the sack..will update more once i get internet connection..

God bless ya'll! =)

Youth Camp 2007

2007-12-10T03:45:00.000-08:00

Camp was the BOMB man!! The message was good, the praise and worship sessions were AWESOME!! God really brought us to a new n higher level of worship..and looking back, we were like the little ones waiting for others to impact us, whereas now we're the ones taking that first step, initiating things and impacting the lives of others..it was so good man!

I was kinda not looking forward to being the leader of a group, considering I had exams and practices to think about..not to mention I only knew that i was gonna be a leader the day before the camp *cringe* I was totally not prepared..this camp is one of the camps that I was really unprepared for..excited yes, prepared no..get what I mean?

Well, anyway, I was kinda asking God, 'Why You put me as a leader this time? Assistant ok lar, but why leader? So many things to think about dy...' (I really thank God that I can just be myself before Him and just talk to Him like a friend, coz He is)..well, the theme for this camp was 'Chosen Generation', so I guess God had a purpose for me..a reason for choosing me out of the crowd..

So I came to a place where I came to the end of myself and just said, 'God, it's up to You..use me, speak through me', and guess what? HE DID! Praise the Lord..I was kinda apprehensive bout leading the devotion in the morning..it was one hour, and the material was kinda short, and I didnt have time to prepare, so ya...but in the end, the devotions went great! Im so glad my members learn a lot during the devotion..it really wasnt me speaking using my own wisdom, but God speaking through me, enabling me to impart something into the lives of the young ones in my group..mind you, Im not boasting bout myself; Im boasting in the Lord..God is just so good..ask, and you shall receive..ask for wisdom, and you get wisdom..all His promises are Yes and Amen, ya?=)

Anyway, the devotion was a wonderful time of just seeking the Lord and learning bout His love and grace..I really think it's high time for the church to realise that we are no longer under law but under grace..it's no longer bout us doing good to get good things from God, but rather because we accepted Christ, when God sees us God sees Jesus, and because He sees Jesus, He sees perfection every way He turns, and thus we receive the blessings of God..it's no longer by what we do but by what Jesus did on the cross for us..that's what grace is..undeserved favour..we didnt do anything to deserve the good thing that God has for us, but because of what Jesus did on the cross for us, a perfect sacrifice, that we can freely receive God's blessings THROUGH Him..not by our own efforts but by Jesus' blood..(oh man, I feel so excited just sharing this man..lol)

Ya well, anyway, even though I have yet to share on radical grace, for I am still learning, there has already been someone who has told me, "better be careful when you talk bout grace like that..after people think that 'oh, God already forgave me of all my sins, so when I sin oso never mind"..HELLO!!WAKE UP AND SMELL THE FLOWERS PEOPLE!! Im not saying it's ok to sin..Im not saying 'sin so that grace may abound'..NO WAY MAN! When you fully know the grace of God, it will help you to 'go and sin no more'..when you know wat Jesus went through for you, when you know how much He loves you, what will wanna make you sin? There's VICTORY in the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ, Hallelujah! (oh man, im sharing myself happy now..hahahaha!!)

In the Bible there's a story bout a lady who committed adultery, and the people caught her in the act..under the law, you have to stone that person to death. The elders and the priests wanted to trap Jesus, so they asked Him, 'Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?' (NIV) They kept pestering Him till He said, 'If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.' Slowly one by one they left..when Jesus looked up, there's no one else there..then He asked her, 'Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?' and she answered 'No one, sir'..then He said, 'Then neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin.' There was first No Condemnation before there was the strength to 'go and leave your life of sin'..that's what grace does..it gives you the power to overcome sin when you know there is now no condemnation in Christ Jesus..

Haha..I just realised I went so far off topic..was supposed to be talking bout the camp, eh?Hahaha..thats wat happened during the devotion..talk and talk till I lost track of time..the one hour seemed like 10 mins..and praise the Lord, I wasnt the only one who felt that way..my members oso didnt seem to realise that the time just flew by..

Talking bout my members....I love all of them to bits man..they are so precious to me, even though I only got to know most of them for 4 days..yet, I feel so connected to them..even though we're from 4 different churches, but all of us are under One Name, One God, One Authority, One Kingdom..so there was unity..thank God for my darling members..Melissa, Cheryl, Janice, Fang Yi, Joshua, Andy, Jeremy, Charstion (did I spell it right?=S), Lily, Bethany...I LOVE YOU GUYS LOADS!! I really thank God for placing all of you in my life..God has great plans for you, plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). All of you have such great potential in you, and such energy..channel it for the glory of God, amen?=)

My assistant leader....Joshua..I've grown to be so fond of you..like my little brother..even in those 4 days, I've seen you grow so much..fills my heart with pride and joy (man I sound like a mother..lol)..I know that God has a great purpose for you in life..keep on shinning and live life full of the love of Christ..remember that there is nothing that you cant handle with God by your side..the devil may try and rob you of the things that you have received in the camp, but always remember that as a child of God, we are more than conquerors, yeah? Jesus has already crushed the head of the serpent, and as we are in Him, He has put all things under our feet as well, amen?=)

Hahaha..I'm really sharing myself happy man..lol..

K k..I'm pretty sure you all have heard enough..lol..pics will be up soon, k? Hope you all who read this have been blessed..love you all loads! Jesus loves=)

- I am Greatly blessed, Highly favoured, Deeply loved, Completely forgiven -

Lead me to the cross

2007-09-20T02:42:00.000-07:00

LEAD ME TO THE CROSS-Hillsong United

Saviour I come
Quiet my soul remember
Redemptions hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross

You were as I
Tempted and tried
You are
The word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now you're risen

To your heart
To your heart
Lead me to your heart

---------------------------------

I absolutely love the lyrics of this song..reminds me bout the great love that Jesus has for us, that He was willing to die a shameful and painful death on the cross for us..knowing that He bought us with His blood as a ransom, and that I belong to Him..even when the world crashes down on me, I am always safe in His everlasting arms of love..

Lately, I've been feeling really dry and stiff..lost the sense of being a beloved of God...but after listening to this song, it refreshed me so..that sense of God's great and perfect love for me just swept over me as I was listening to the song..gave me a fresh sense of His love for me that I really needed..

When I wake up every morning, I sit on my bed and just think of His love for me, before I do anything else..just be still, feel His wings cover me and let the warmth of His love envelop me..it's a great way to start the day..and I found that it really brings a spring to my step, and joy fills my heart..I mean, how can you not be filled with joy knowing that Someone paid the price for you, a ransom for your salvation?Knowing that you're safe from everything the devil can dish out at you...it just put things in perspective you know?

Well, hope you have been blessed..Jesus Loves! =)

Check it out..Save the rhinos!!

2007-09-06T04:07:00.000-07:00

After a long LONG hiatus, I'm finally back..I wont be consistent, mind you..so what initiated my want to blog again?

Thanks to Cherrie's blog..read bout the Sumatra rhino's, and I too, like her, have a soft spot for animals and the environment..to the extent that every time I see someone doing open air burning or throwing rubbish out of their car window, I feel like going up to them, slapping them in their faces, suing them for all it's worth and sending them to jail..ok, may be a little over the top, but hey, someone's gotta do it, right?

The condition of this earth is getting worse even as I type this entry..drains are being clogged up by people who throw rubbish into the drains, causing massive problems in proper drainage; people burning rubbish in front of their houses causing much smoke and air pollution; towns and roads being treated like a big rubbish dump when people throw their rubbish on the streets, not thinking of the way they're dirtying the environment and causing the workers to have so much to clean up after them like their babies...sigh..and people wonder why the earth is full of sickness and disease, all sorts of epidemics happening around the world, all sorts of new strains of viruses emerging..hello....open up your eyes.....

I guess much of it is ignorance..or maybe they're just lazy to do something about it..sigh..

Well, anyway, the main purpose for my post is this..the SAVE THE RHINO campaign..launched by HONDA to raise awareness to the declining number of Sumatran rhinos..why, you ask, do we have to be concerned for these big fat creatures?I mean, they're not even cute! Well, let me answer that. First of all, they are the smallest rhino's in the world. Secondly, they are the only rhinos in Malaysia. Check out this website, http://www.honda.com.my/rhino/, by Honda..it has some pretty cool facts bout these amazing creatures, and you can help spread the word by pasting this cute little 'logo' into your blog..Cute eh? Hehe..help save the environment and save the animals that inhabit this land with us..you can make a difference..let us pass down a world to the next generation, filled with the wonder of nature, not destroyed by the works of human hands..

Why do these animals face extinction, you ask. Well, most of it is because we destroy their habitat for construction purposes or gathering of raw materials, leaving them with little food to eat and no place to stay..then when they come into our territory, we shoot them down or put them in cages..another reason is illegal poaching, meaning capturing animals illegally with the purpose of selling them as exotic pets or for their meat, skin, organs that are of medicinal value..it's really sad to even think of the horrible pain the animals go through just to satisfy the wants of consumers..

I remember that one time where sharks were being caught for their fins..thats not even the bad part..the worst is when after they caught it, they chop off their fins, AND THREW THEM BACK INTO THE SEA!!That's just plain cruel..sharks will drown if they dont keep swimming, and it's kinda impossible to swim without their fins, wouldnt you say..

As for rhinos, they are captured and killed for their tusks, which are of medicinal values, according to Chinese' belief. They catch them, cut off their tusks, let them go, and they die a slow and painful death of infection..

How cruel can humans get..sigh..

Well, on a lighter note, here are some interesting facts bout how recycling can make a big difference to the environment...

1. Up to 60% of the rubbish that are thrown away can be recycled (do you know how much of resources that is??!!)
2. Global warming can alter fundamentally ONE THIRD of plants and animal habitats
3. Recycled paper produces about 73% LESS air pollution than if it was made from raw materials
4. ONE recycled tin can can save enough energy to power a television consecutively for THREE HOURS (Bet you didnt know THAT!!)
5. ONE recycled plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60 WATT LIGHT BULB for THREE HOURS continuously
6. Plastics take 500 YEARS to decompose (Thats a long time! why not just recycle it??!!)
7. ONE recycled bottle can save enough energy to power a COMPUTER for 25 minutes (put that energy to good use!!)
8. Glass is 100% recyclable and can be used OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER (you get my point) AGAIN

Now what do you say to that? Save energy, save the environment, reduce the use of raw materials, reduce the price of stuff...it's all good, yeah? Let's all do our part in saving the world=)

yo..

2007-07-30T20:23:00.000-07:00

It's been raining like crazy lately..with loads of sudden downpours and heavy rain that drenches people totally till they're freezing to the bone...

I should know.. Chrsitine, Uree, Ping, Shake and me have been walking to and fro the bus station to uni a lot lately, and one day....IT REALLY POURED!! And knowing my umbrella..(can you even CALL it an umbrella??!!)..it turned inside out once the wind started blowing..*just great huh* it could not get any worse..or could it??IT DID..my umbrella started to leak INSIDE..could feel the rain drops dripping down my cheeks..sigh..but apparently is wasnt just my umbrella that was like that..even Ping's nice umbrella started to leak..the rain was SO HEAVY..my Nike shoes got soaked..*sob sob* my precious shoe...you could feel the water swishing inside the shoe..sigh...

All of us were totally soaked..I mean SERIOUSLY soaked..and those inconsiderate buffoons on the road....feel like smacking some consideration into their thick skulls..they just drive past like maniacs and splash all of us..sheesh..learn some common courtesy please...and the amount of stares that we got!!MAN!! Can those people PLEASE go get a life?? I was like screaming 'WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM NOW??!!' and Uree opened her umbrella, shielded me from their faces and said "Joe, you OK?? What happened to you??" I mean..hellloooo..like that also want to stare..never see people walking in the rain before is it..*sweat* tak de ape ape nak buat ke.. =.="

Oh! And Shaki and Uree..*goodness* in the pouring rain, went to the playground and sat the swing..ended up getting even more soaked *if that was even possible*

Shaki and me, totally drenched..and check out my umbrella =.=" spokes are poking out

Shaki and Uree playing in the rain

Soaking wet girls

Shaki and Christine..cuteness

All of us, soaking wet, sending Christine back to her appartment

So ya, that's pretty much what happened during the walk to the bus station..haha..had fun, even though we ended up soaking wet..it's the company, yeah? Love ya'll loads girls=)

Oh, and Ping Ping's bday..bought her two cute puppy soft toys..she loved it..so happy..hehe..was kissing them even during lectures..hahaha..*so cute ler Ping* some of the others saw and were laughing..hahaha..

God bless ya..love ya!

Updates...=P

2007-07-30T06:10:00.000-07:00

Hahaha..yes yes..I can hear all the "FINALLY!!"'s coming out of the mouths of you all k..but hei, not my fault..take so long to get the pics..sigh..forgive me if the post is long...=P

We had a mock press conference last Monday and Tuesday, where on Mon we were the host group, and Tue we were the media group..it was so much fun..AND WE OWNED THE PLACE MAN!!!! Ping, Uree, Christine, Shaki..agree??hehehe..

We were the very first group in my whole stream to hold the mock press conference..so quite a number of people came to join us and observe..well anyway..it went quite well..we were doing on a launching of a new product by Cadbury Schweppes..'Heavenly Brownies'..know why it's called that?Coz everyone who takes a bite of it says that it tastes so heavenly..I salute Sook Ping on her baking skills..yes, they (Ping, Uree, Christine) actually MADE the brownies..oh man..tastes like heaven, seriously..we passed some samples around to the media group and out tutor..you should see their face light up after taking a bite..hehe..you girls ROCK!! And Shaki..thanks loads for the effort on the cheque..

Us as the host group

Whoa..cool effect, huh..lol

The BROWNIES made by Ping, Uree, Christine..look at that..dont you wanna EAT IT ALL UP????!!!! DELICIOUSLY yummy!! Everyone actually fights to get the last piece!! HONEST!!

The girls cleaning up after baking the brownies

The drawing of the packing for the brownies for Valentines Day

Then the printed version appears

OH!! I really wanna salute Sook Ping's dad..he's the bomb!! Uncle, here's a special salute to you *salute* You have made the press conference such an interesting one with the props you helped prepare..

You see, her dad works in a shop that does printing..AND HE MADE A MOCK CHEQUE FOR US TO PRESENT IN THE PRESS CONFERENCE!!! Isn't that cool??!! He helped us so much, and he didnt ask for any payment..can you imagine just how expensive it is to make one of those??And he also made the box for us to keep the brownies..man..he rocks!! Uncle, this post is specially dedicated to you..hehe..

The mock cheque Ping's dad created for us

Dont ask me what I was doing..coz I dont have a clue..lol

Anyway...that wasnt the best part..it was when we were preparing to be the MEDIA (reporter) group that we really REALLY OWNED the floor man..!! A lesson to everyone..if you are doing a mock interview or press conference, please do NOT choose to be a celeb..if you have media like us, you will honestly FAINT..hahaha..

The group that was the host of the press conference decided to do on Malaysian Idol after the announcement of the winner. BIG mistake..lol..knowing us, my group members decided to make up some scandals to make things a little more lively..so guess what we did..I took Ping's 'chun-ted' phone and snuck in a few pictures to make into our 'evidence'..boy were they SHOCKED when the 'incriminating evidence' was revealed!! One of the girls, after looking at the pic, kept blinking and checking if her eyes deceived her..then when she saw that it was there, she 'fainted' on the table..hahahaha!! Another girl who 'got it' from us, went 'OUCH' when she saw our 'evidence' against her..boy, it was hillarious!! Thank God they have a sense of humour..or else, you might see me RIP (Resting In PIECES) already..haha..

And you know what?We got 89.5 over 100 for that assignment..SO HAPPY!!!!!! Girls, you all ROCK SO HARD!!!!
*high 5*

OOPS! You've been caught!!LOL

UHUH!! Caught you 2 red handed..LOL

*Uree, I salute you for your chun skills on Photoshop*

And when it was all over, all of us had a great time posing in front of the camera. Picture taking time!! This is SO a photo op..haha..

Photo taking session after all the press conferences ended (us as the host)

Us as the media

A job well done =) SATISFACTION

Well, another update will be up soon..promise..just waiting for the pics (again) =P

LOVE YA'LL!!=D

Hmm....

2007-07-17T08:02:00.000-07:00

Took the train back today..was a pretty normal day..that is, till I got to the train station..the place where u fell down TWICE..I know, careless n clumsy..in adition, it was at the same place..*sign*

Well, I sat down at the seat and waited for the train..then suddenly 4 men walked down from the stairs..they were Mat-Sallehs..(did I spell that right??) Anyway, for those who know me, I LOVE seeing Mat Sallehs in Malaysia..I cant help but smile..hehehe..

Again, anyway...one of them sat beside me, and started talking in Mandrin..honestly!His Mandrin is better than some of the Chinese friends I have..*ahem* Apparently, they came down from the U.S. to do some missionary work..they were headed to Port Klang..so we kinda talked, casual conversation..

Well, turns out they were from a certain church (if you can call it that...) which teaches a different doctrine...

I'm not trying to imply anything, but ya, for those who can read between the lines...

Well, I guess what I'm trying to say is..nowadays, there are many false prophets out there..teaching something else concerning Jesus Christ and God..for one, they believe that Jesus is part man, part God instead of being fully God and fully man, and that God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are 3 different beings, when the fact is that They are Trinity, as in 3 in 1..they also do not emphasize the cross, which is the basis of the foundation of Christianity when everything turns back to the cross..being saved, having the Zoe life, being righteous in God's sight...it all points back to the work on the cross..

Shows you that you cant afford not to know the Word of God in this time and age..right believing and right being produces right living, as Pastor Joseph Prince says..very true, isnt it..it's not right doing produces right living..not saying doing right is not important..but if what you believe is right and true, your life will reflect it..

So, ya..not sure what I'm trying to put across, but yeah..thats all..feel free to comment ya..God bless=)

Jesus Loves You

2007-07-05T04:42:00.000-07:00

Hei ya'll..check this video out..sorry I dont know how to post the video here, so I'll just post the URL for the video..I cried a few tears watching it..really shows Jesus' love for us..this one is not so bloody..but keep in mind that this is just a very small part of all the suffering He went through to save us because He loves us so much..listen to the song, and be blessed=)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoUTUi1nor0

Blah blah blah.....

2007-07-05T03:34:00.000-07:00

Sigh..so bored right now..skipped 4 classes today=P Hei..not my fault k..wasnt feeling well...

Anyway....I'm just gonna say whatever comes to mind...

THE IRONY OF MALAYSIA

Yup, you read right..irony of Malaysia..I know..dissing my own country..but it's so true you know..let's see some very obvious examples...
1. Rapid KL buses are NOT rapid at all..once I even waited 45 mins just to get on the bus...
2. The Grand Hotel in Kampar does not look grand at all..honestly!
3. The Proton car - Juara - is DEFINATELY not a champion..(FYI, juara means champion=P)
4. Malaysia asks Malaysians to buy Malaysian product, but even THEY do not promote Malaysian products..lol..

Anyone agrees with me? *I hope they dont sue me for writing this...lol*

Oh ya!!Played bowling last Sunday..so happy with my score..beat my best score..for the 1st time..I GOT 4 STRIKES IN A ROW!!!WOOHOO!!hahaha..you must understand my reaction..both my parents are so good at bowling, and I stink at it..apparently I didnt inherit their genes for bowling..lol..they used to train under Rudy's dad..cool huh..

Well, here's the score..

Good or not?check out the score..And the number of strikes man..hahaha..last time the max I got was 2..lol

So, yeah..Im really pleased with it..

I have marketing mid-term next week..I have no idea what am i doing now..supposed to be studying...lol

Oh..and another thing..this is what I do during sociology lectures...

Yup..doodling..

Ok, I know.."What on earth are you doing??!!Terrible girl, not paying attention..tsk tsk..*shakes head*" Hei..again, not my fault..read the previous post and you will understand..and just so you know, that's just part of the whole A4 full scape paper..we're considering writing a petition to change the lecturer..almost everyone I know cant understand what he's talking about..and he mumbles to himself too sometimes..you know, my friend said that he asked him once, "Why are you born Indian?" How to answer the question? I know.."'Cause my parents are Indians lar!!DUH!!" lol..ok..I'm being mean..but I mean, COME ON!!Hello....*shakes head* But honestly..I feel bad for dissing him so much..*smack myself* bad Jo...tsk tsk..

OH!! And another thing...my writing for business tutor was the invigilator for my management mid-term..when we entered the class for the test, she started yelling at everyone..I was so not happy after that..I mean, we didnt even do anything wrong..and it's their fault they didnt tell us that we had to sit according to the tutorial groups..doesnt give her the right to yell at us..not our fault..can you imagine, I'll be seeing her for this whole sem...And, her English...Ping, Uree..you all know what I mean..lets just say, when it's supposed to be 'assistance', she made it into 'assistant'..that doesnt seem bad, right? The thing is, it's supposed to be correction of errors..and she didnt even realise it..and she doesnt even know how to apply the 7 C's!!FYI, the 7 C's are the fundamentals of writing for business...

Sigh..I really hope I can survive this sem..and the new timetable...one look at it and I feel like fainting..so many replacement classes..sigh...

Ya, suffering now...

Well, that's all I guess..chaoz ya'll=)

Because of the lack of tutorial classes for the past 5 weeks (yup, 5 weeks!!), we have to replace all the tutorial classes in the remainder 8 weeks..now, I have double tutorials for each of the subject to make up for the loss of time..now, my classes end so late..mainly between 4 and 6..and everyday, classes start at 8am...sigh.......

Yeah..dont know to be happy or sad now..happy coz there wont be any Saturday classes anymore, but sad coz of the long Long days ahead..

And trust me, it WILL be a long day everyday..coz my lecturers......oh, dont even get me started..Vern, you know what I mean..can you even believe it?I really need God's grace to help me through this miserable semester..

Ah, sociology..sir, you have officially destroyed my interest in sociology..the ONLY subject I was looking forward to this semester turned out to be the worst, thanks to the lecturer..man, I dont even know what to say bout him..he's like..a walking snooze button!!Or more accurately, a walking sleeping pill..those that once you take them, you will go right to sleep..Ok, I know..harsh..but argh..there's only SO MUCH a person can take..it's like he's talking to himself during the class..AND I HAVE HIM AS MY TUTOR AS WELL!!!ON THE SAME DAY!!!! *faint*

Well, at least one good came out of it..I dont have any Saturday classes anymore..yes, you heard (or read=P) right..I had Saturday classes..I mean, hheelllloooo....who in their right mind would want to wake up at 6.00am to get ready to go to class on a Saturday?

Another thing I'm happy about is that class ends early on Wednesday..thats the day I'm supposed to teach English..so I dont have to change the day or anything..thank God..

Well, I sure hope I can get through the semester fine..Jesus, I need Your help..take my hand and walk with me..thank You Lord that You are everything to me..in my weakness, Your strength is made perfect..You are my wisdom, my strength, my patience..thank You Lord for everything You've done..on the cross, You took away all the bad things that we deserve, so that we can get the good things that You deserve..thank You Jesus for Your love for me..I know I can do it with You by my side..

God is good!Amen!=)

Ranting frustrations

2007-06-18T21:29:00.000-07:00

All I can say is......IM SO MAD AT UTAR NOW!!

Their system is making me mad.

My tutorials will ony begin in week 6..and it's already week 4.

And it's only our intake people.

And it's only arts stream.

From what I heard, everyone else has already begun their tutorials.

We have to cram 13 weeks of tutorials in 8 weeks, and we have 6 subjects to cover for.

Yup, 6 subjects, 13 tutorials per subject, and 8 weeks to cover for all of it.

PLUS, I have 2 tests next week.

You know Im mad when I write in short sentences.

I mean, how are we supposed to put into practice what we have learnt without tutorials?

And the excuses they give...fantastic.

So illogical.

Feel like they're making it up just to cover up for what's really going on.

But I guess all things work for good...

Although I cant think of any good that will come out of this now...

It's so making me lazy.

My brain has stopped working at proper speed.

Slowing down.

And why, you may ask.

Coz I have no tutorials, and half of the time I have no clue what they lecturers are mumbling.

Ranting over..or is it

BAH!!

2007-06-17T04:27:00.000-07:00

Hillsong Concert

2007-06-12T07:21:00.001-07:00

Yup..Hillsong was in Sunway last Sunday..went for their concert..it was the bomb! Really was blessed.. Here are some pics..

The crowd trying to find a seat. The hall was so totally packed that those that couldnt get a seat in that hall were ushered into the overflow room.

The Hillsong team, singing 'Take it all'.

The worship pastor of Hillsong church introducing the Hillsong team. He shared during the concert.

All in all, it was a great experience..was trully blessed..and to see so many young people passionate for Christ..what a great turnout..

Well, that's all..Oh ya, another thing..the Planetshakers team will be down in Sunway on the 17th of June, Sunday..it'll be in the multi-purpose hall..so go, enjoy and be blessed=)

Hosanna - Hillsong United

2007-06-12T07:10:00.000-07:00

I see the king of glory
Coming down the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing

Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

I see a generation
Rising up to take the place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a new revival
Staring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees, we're on our knees

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what is yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

We'll miss u

2007-06-07T20:34:00.000-07:00

This blog entry is dedicated to my dear friend, Winnie Goh Wey Nee..yesterday was her last day with us in UTAR..We'll miss her dearly..no more hearing her contagious laughter, laughing at her silly faces, her big hugs...she's the one that makes the most noise in our class..in a good way..without her, things will be so much more boring, quiet and dull..sigh..

Well, Winnie, we wish you all the best in Singapore..dont forget to keep in touch ya..hope that everything will go well and that you will enjoy yourself there as well..take care=)

Winnie and me..we'll miss you girl..

Mid Valley

2007-06-05T05:07:00.000-07:00

Went to Mid Valley last Sunday..went there after listening to a 'presentation' in Palace of the Golden Horses bout a vacation club..well, all I can say is, even though the place was nice, but their P.R. was quite bad..some people just never think before opening their mouths...

One of the statement made by their 'tour guide'...

TG: (after noticing that the age gap between my younger sis and me is 6 years, talking to my sis) Wah..you and your sis age gap so big hor..you werent planned by your parents..after 6 years then you suddenly pop out.
My older sis, mum, and me: (Mouth open so wide)
Me to my older sis: (whispering) What on earth did she just say??!!

I mean, can you imagine?? What kind of a statement was that?? *shakes head* And to think, so many famous people stayed there before..Tiger Woods, the whole Manchester United team, Nelson Mandela, even Her Majesty Queen Elizableth!! I really dont know what to think..

Well, the tour took us to a health sanctuary, something like a hospital within the hotel..they have this machine that takes your blood pressure..all you have to do is put your arm through, and it will wrap the 'thingy' (=P) around your arm and take your blood pressure..and you know what? My sis is so skinny, the machine couldnt detect her arm!! It tried wrapping around her hand for 3 times, and each time it couldnt detect it..can you imagine how thin my sis is?? We were laughing at her and the machine, saying that it will go 'Please put your hand in..please put your hand in..' Haha=P

Anyway, after that we went to Mid Valley, window shopping..then we went to their 'Indian Shopping Exhibition', or something like that..walking around, we saw a stall where they did eyebrow shaping..the thing is, they do not use tweezers..they use THREAD!! Traditional way of doing it..they put one end of the thread into their mouth, then make a loop and twist it around, and that's the part that will 'rip' the eyebrow hairs out..

Well, my sis and my mum tried it..and it came out pretty good! I for one have never seen anything like it..something really new to me..and though it looked like it hurt a lot, my sis said it's less painful than the mordern way of doing it, with tweezers..

Here are some pics to show you how they do it...

Thread ripping out the hairs from the eyebrows.

You can actually see the thread and one end is placed in the mouth.

Interesting isn't it?Something I've never seen before.

Well, thats all for now..chaoz all! God bless=)

BOOM BOOM BOOM

2007-06-01T05:34:00.000-07:00

Sigh..some people are just so inconsiderate..someone is blasting some loud rock music outside my house or neighbour..and it's making my head thump..*dung dung dung...* I mean, be a little more sensitive, will ya? Imagine, I can hear it through my headphones..somehow I wish I could go there and just take out..no, make that RIP out that stupid plug and throw it away..so loud and irritating..you wanna have loud blasting music, please do it somewhere else..not where some people are trying to get some shut eye or some peace and quiet at home..sheesh..some people....*shakes head*

Just goes to show how inconsiderate some people can be..sigh..is the world now devoid of sensitivity and consideration for others?sigh....

Butterflies...

2007-05-26T23:17:00.000-07:00

Was just browsing through all the blogs on my list, and I ended up in Felicia's blog..it's the 1st time that i actually Really took the time to read through..and it was then I noticed the words on her blogskin..

"Happiness is as a butterfly, which when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which, if you sit down quietly, may alight on you."

Profound, isnt it? Yet so true.

Just today, we had our college youth meeting in my house..we were talking bout life being just a temporary assignment, that this is not our permenant home, and that there's more to life than studies, money, and that sorta thing..then we talked bout being heavenly minded, that we should always seek the kingdom of God first, Then all these things (prosperity, health, blessings of any kind) will be added unto us.

The only thing we need to do is seek His kingdom first. His kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17). And when we focus in these things, all the blessings will follow.

Like pastor Mark said, when Peter was in the boat and he saw Jesus on the shore, he put on His outer garment, jumped into the sea, and all the fishes followed him. The outer garment represents Jesus' righteousness, and the fishes are the blessings. All we have to do is seek God and His righteousness, and all the blessings will follow us.

That's just God's way. We are to be as little children, child-like (not childish), trusting the Lord for everything, sitting down in His bosom and resting under His wings, knowing that He will be our provider and protector and everything we need Him to be..all we have to do is sit down at His feet, and He will do the rest..happiness, wealth, health, everything we need, He gives.

That's what grace is. Getting the good things we do not deserve. Not because of our goodness, but it's because of His goodness and love. We are now living in the new covenant, the covenant of grace. We dont need to work to go to Him and expect Him to bless us according to our deeds. If it was based on that, all of us would fail miserably, 'cause our righteousness are like filthy rags. But God is good, now we are righteous because of the righteousness of Christ. Arent you glad?I know I am..

Well, I hope you've been blessed..=)

RESULTS...!!!

2007-05-24T22:16:00.000-07:00

Finally, I have gotten my results for this 1st sem..and I am so thankful to God for being so faithful and good to me..He has truly helped me a lot in my exams..He's constantly watching over me, and His favour is always upon me..really thank God for His grace..

Well, I got 3.8333 for my 1st sem!!Although there was one B+, I'm still extremely happy!!I mean, normally I dont do so well for exams..in secondary school and SPM, my results were very average..I was not one of those 'all A's' student..but all glory be to God, I did very well this sem!!I really thank God..He is indeed a good God..His love and grace always covers me wherever I go..

GOD IS GOOD!!AMEN!!

Be blessed=)

American Idol

Yup..this season of the all-famous American Idol has come to a close..I am pretty happy with the results, though I would rather have crowned Melinda Doolittle as the American Idol..I mean, she wins the competition hands down, no doubt bout it..but well, apparently looks were taken into consideration too, so....cant do anything bout that..

Anyway, back to the final two..

Blake and Jordin..wondering bout why Blake's reaction is like that? That's 'cause....*drum roll*

Jordin kissed him! (So That explains that grin on her face....)

The moment of truth..who will take home the coveted title of American Idol...?

And the winner of this year's American Idol is..........

Penang Trip

2007-05-10T02:45:00.001-07:00

Ok ok..I know that this post is long overdue..I only managed to upload the pics today, and i only got them like a few days ago, so...apologies..hehe..

Well, the trip was alright, though I'm still amazed at the fact that we didnt eat Penang laksa nor Penang rojak nor go to Gurney drive..oh, the irony..but we were all in good company, and we had a blast..even though it was in the middle of my finals exams *cringe* I still cant believe that I went even though my finals were going on..I was so scared that they might change the timetable and I might miss some papers..hehe..but thank God That didnt happen...

I'm on holidays now..to be honest, I'm quite bored..can you believe it..I'm actually studying sociology online DURING MY HOLS! Who does that?? Shows you how bored I am..but I guess it's a good thing..being prepared for next sem..=P

K, without further delay, here are some of the pics from the Penang trip...

This was taken when we 1st arrived at our destination.
Sis and friends having posing sessions in front of the camera.

The lobby of our accommodation: the Krystal Suites

Unc Gary and family makan-ing in one of the shops..they had some almond drink or something like that..I tried it..tasted really weird=P

This stall reminded me of Klang Jaya fried chicken..hehe

Went to a durian stall in one of our makan-ing sessions

Makan-ing durians..yummy.....

Dad and sis enjoying durians..

The mamak stall where we went on our last day in Penang

The 'roti telur' there was quite nice..heard that it had 2 eggs inside..and they give you chicken along with the 'roti'..special..hehe

Took this pic in the apartment before heading home..

Another group pic in the apartment before leaving..I look so weird here..trying so hard not to laugh..hehe=P

After the Penang trip, we went to Ipoh for more eating sessions with unc Chee and family..we had fruit 'rojak', 'popiah'and the all-famous Ipoh 'kuey teow'

So there you have it, the trip to Penang..had a great time, with great friends, and great food..hope the food doesnt make you drool..hehe..

Well, thats all for now..chaoz =)

exams exams...

2007-04-25T21:24:00.000-07:00

Finals are finally here..time sure flies by..it feels as if I've been in coll for only a month, and here I am, sitting for finals now..it's kinda overwhelming in a way..

Well, so far I have sat for my English and Art paper..another 4 more to go..I think I'm doing alright..God has been so good to me..His favour has been with me all the way..especially for the Art paper..I had totally no clue to what I was doing..when I opened the 1st page, I was like 'oh no!what's this??!!' I prayed 'Lord, I really need Your grace and favour..' and you know what? When I came home, I checked my answers and guess what? I only made 3 mistakes in 20 questions!!

Thank God for His goodness..ask Him anything, big or small..and trust Him in the little things as well as the big things..He is always good, and His grace is always sufficient for me..

Have been talking loads bout grace, and to those who dunno what it means...

I was listening to Pastor Joseph Prince's sermon on the way to coll..he put it in a really good way..'Grace is getting the good things that we dont deserve..Mercy is not getting the bad things that we do deserve'.. How great is His love for us, ya? Getting good things we dont deserve and not getting the bad things we do deserve..thanks to the work on the cross..God is so so good!

Well, I hope you have been blessed..Jesus loves! =)

God is Good!!

2007-04-17T22:54:00.000-07:00

Indeed, God IS Good! Remember my previous post? Well, I got back my license and my photos and my cards and all that right..guess what happened today?

I GOT BACK MY IC AND MY HOUSE KEYS!!

Some old chinese guy on a bike came and handed them back to me..though I Do wonder where he got it from.....

But hey, isn't God good? When He restores, boy, you'd better be sure He restores EVERYTHING..even though it's been quite some time now since the incident, but God is always faithful..He hears our prayers and remembers our cries to Him..He will never let His beloved down..He's always there, always faithful..every tear you cry is precious in His eyes..every prayer you make, He listens..

I'm so happy..no need for the hussle to go and make a new IC now..hehe..really thank God for everything..

God bless=) chaoz!

Praise the Lord!!

2007-04-10T05:36:00.000-07:00

Sorry ya'll, for my lack of updates...have been kinda lazy..hehe..and i've been busy finishing up my assignments..And i also have my finals coming up in a couple weeks time.. So far i've been doing extraordinarily well..hehe..all by God's grace..honestly..for those who know me, you know my results used to stink right..hehe..but now......i'm amazed..hehe..

Last Sunday, i went out with edric for dinner..was his birthday celebration..while looking for the restaurant, a motorcyclist came from behind and snatched my handbag..edric chased the guy but unfortunately he got away..i'm just thankful that nothing happened to him or me..i could have been dragged on the road, and edric might have gotten hurt..so i really thank God that we're alright.. heard a story from the ladies in that area..one of the lady's husband got robbed and he was dragged on the road..he went unconscious for a day and could not get back to work for a week..imagine, that could have easily been me..but God's hand of protection was upon us, so we didnt get hurt..thank God..we didnt let it ruin our dinner either..had a great time and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly..

But that's not the end of the story yet! i went to college on monday, told my collmates bout it..i told them that God will restore back my things..and guess what?HE DID! that night, a chineseman came to my house and handed me my handbag..found it in a ditch somewhere i suppose; it was soaking wet and dirty..even though my cash and my ic are gone, i got back my atm card, my license, my photos..hehe..isnt God good?He answers prayers and sometimes, you're just too amazed by it..my parents were praying that someone would bring my handbag back, and it came back!God is so good..

Sunday night, after making the police report, i went back home and did my devotion. i read Psalm 91..it was so refreshing and it gave me a greater sense of God's love and tender care for me..i especially love the 1st verse : 'he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shadows of the Almighty'..it really gave me a sense of peace and i felt God's love just washing over me..it was really a great time with the Lord..

And you know what? i actually feel very sorry for the thief..he does not have a life, neither does he have God..and the latter is much worse..i pray that someday he'll come to his senses and realise that God loves him..

I hope that this post has blessed your heart..always remember that no matter what happens, God is always there and He'll ALWAYS love you..i'll leave with this portion of scripture..

ROMANS 8:38-39
38 (For) I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

AMEN! be blessed=)

friends

2007-03-09T13:26:00.000-08:00

hei all..sorry for the lack of updates..have been SWAMPED with assignments and mid-term tests..speaking of which, I didnt sleep..I've been awake since 1am and I'll be having my accounts' mid-term in a few hours' time.

Saw 'Dan the man' yesterday. It's been quite some time now since I last saw my friends from Life College..miss them loads. Had some interesting times together. There's Josh, and Chev, and Lizzie, and Alesha(thanks for the lovely drawing..still have it!) and Dan, and May, and June (SERIOUSLY!), and Sam Oh, and Shaun, and....the list goes on. Wonder how all of them are doing now... I also bumped into Vern on Thursday..saw Uncle Mic pulling up to the train station when I was just about to leave. Met Anne there once too.

I'm so happy and blessed to have friends like them..there's the youth in HCA (you all rock!), and old friends from school, and new friends from college..God has really blessed me with plenty of friends to share my joy and pain..thank God for you all..but there's one Friend who is always and forever will be there for me, and that's my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He's always loyal, always faithful, always honest, always true, always there. No one can compare to Him. And He loves me SO much!I'm a BELOVED of GOD!=D

Well, thats all for now..gotta get ready for coll..hehe..ttfn!=)

Tagged!

2007-02-12T22:49:00.001-08:00

Adui..kena tagged by Chee Mun Khea and Teo Li Anne (just wait, you two=P)..so, well, here goes....

Each player starts out by telling 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write (in their own blog) 6 weird things as well and state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave each of them a comment letting them know you tagged them and the cycle goes on.

Hmm..weird things about me..hmm.........let me see.........*think think* Well, here goes..

1. Every night, I MUST put my blanket on, even if there is no electricity. If I dont, I wont be able to sleep well. Must have blankey=P

2. I always sneeze when I eat mint. But that's not even close to being weird. I only sneeze when I eat light mint, but not when I eat strong mint. Weird huh..lol

3. I like to stand in the train. Even when there are tons of empty seats, I stand till my legs cant take it anymore.

4. I cant stand it if only one of my hands are wet. If my right hand is wet, I MUST make my left hand wet too. And when both my hands are wet, my face also MUST be wet, so I'll wet my face too. That's why everytime I come out from the bathroom/washroom, my face is always wet. haha

5. If I drink water at night before I sleep, I will wake up with a throat that's sore (which will go off after I wash up).

6. I wont be bored by same food or same shows or same whatever. I can eat the same food day after day, and I can watch the same show time and time and time again and not get bored. Especially when it comes to CSI series. I can watch the same episode over and over again in the same week and still not get bored.

So, there you have it. 6 weird things about me. Interesting? haha

So...the 6 people I tagg..

1. madeline
2. isaac wong
3. samuel oh
4. alesha
5. chevonne
6. joshua

assignments...

2007-02-04T03:03:00.000-08:00

Haha..yes, I know..FINALLY I updated my blog..lol..have been real busy with assignments, so didnt have the time to update..

Phew! Finally managed to finish my arts assignment..so panicky..cause in the end none of us can print and bind it, so all went haywire..thank God everything ok already..first assignment of the subject, and I want it to be great..want to give the lecturer a good impression..hehe..worked hard man..(BHB) =P

It's really got me thinking you know..we always try so hard to please people..some of us try even harder to please God..but you know what? God accepts us just the way we are..even while we were sinners, God sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for us..when Jesus was on earth, He mixed around with the tax collectors, the ones the Pharisees consider 'sinners'. Yet, He accepted them and loved them.

In the days of old, before Jesus was born, the people were under the Law. They had to work towards righteousness. God does not like men to sweat in His presence (if you get what I mean), because it means we're coming to Him with our own strength. But now, because of His work on the cross, we do not need to work towards it because we ARE the righteousness of God..by His grace, we can now stand before the God Almighty, holy and righteous in His sight..so great is His love for us!It's just unfanthomable..

Man..when I think of how much God loves me, tears just cant help but roll off my cheeks..when I realise what He went through, for me, I'm in awe of His love..God loves me..and guess what?God loves you too! You're not just a face in the crowd to Him..God knows your name, what yourfavourite food is, what your favourite colour is...man, He even knows how many hairs you have on your head! Face it, you are DEARLY LOVED!

So, yeah, I've said pretty much what I wanted to say..so, hope you've been blessed..God bless=D

I AM A BELOVED OF GOD!!

God's Beloved

2007-01-25T05:21:00.000-08:00

Sorry havent been updating..I'm like that sometimes..sometimes 'into' it, but sometimes I'm just too lazy..hehe..=p

Have been listening to many of Pastor Joseph Prince's sermons lately..learnt a lot, and I'm STILL learning..

One of the things that I have learnt and am now putting into practice is focusing on God's love for me..we always tend to think of our love for God (not that it's not good) but we can never love God with all our heart, soul, mind, strength..we love God because He first loved us..when I focus on the love of God, I'm more able to love others and live an overcoming life..now, every morning I wake up, I will think of the love of God and just soak in it..when I'm walking towards the bus, towards the college, I'll just think of His love..and you know what?I feel all my burdens lifted up, I feel more relaxed, I'm more patient, more childlike, more carefree.....because He loves me, I can put all my cares and burdens upon His loving shoulders and trust Him in everything..He is my everything!

In short, I AM A BELOVED OF GOD!!=) What a great thing to know..God loves me so much that He was willing to send His Only Son to die for my sins..when I think of it, it just blows me away..it's just so amazing, you know?God is just so So SO GOOD!!

Hope you've been blessed..God loves ya!=)

God's Favour

2007-01-15T04:25:00.000-08:00

Have you ever experienced God's favour on and on and on and on....?I'm just so in awe of God's grace and His favour upon me..it's just like Mun Khea said, God's grace can never leave you..you cant kick it away..it'll follow you wherever you go..

I already have a job prospect in my college..and I barely started my foundation course!!I only started a week ago, and already I'm in the good books of the college..hehe..can you believe it..that's like 'WOW!!'.. I'm still trying to get over it..hehe..but I mean, come on!!It's so 'whoa' man..hehe..I was like singing and thanking God for everything out loud while walking..till some people started looking at me with 'that look'..but I dont care!I have to give all glory and all praise to my God!He is just so So SO SO SO GOOD!!How can someone keep things like this to himself/herself?It's impossible..I just have to sing and shout and praise my God..He is truly my everything..His grace is sufficient for me, and His love is really indescribable..there is truly no one like Him..

Thank You Lord for everything..thank You that You're always by my side, and most of all, thank You for dying on the cross for me..thank You for Your great love for me..JESUS, I LOVE YOU!!=D

God bless ya'll=)

My computer studies class went alright..the lecturer was a lil....how do I put it....erm......cocky?let's recap what happened in class...

Lecturer: Welcome..I am Mr ****, but you can call me Mr *****..normally my students wont get to see my resume (CV), but this time, you have the privilege of having a glimpse at it..

Hello...what does that have anything to do with my comp studies??haha..we were looking at him with a funny expression..his intro went on for more than half an hour..haha..but he's a pretty fun guy I suppose..I pity him a lil though..he asked if anyone wanted to volunteer to be the course representitive, but no one did..

Well, guess that's bout it..more to come..hehe..chaoz! God bless=)

What A Day...

2007-01-05T01:38:00.000-08:00

Went coll today..another interesting (and frustrating!) day..left home around 630am..took a bus from Klang station to Asia Jaya..while I was wondering which bus would take me UTAR, I spotted the UTAR bus waiting somewhere nearby..thank God I bought the bus tickets on my 1st day..hehe..so I hopped on the bus and it took me straight to coll..

I reached coll around 745am..waited for my frineds to show for around an hour..one by one they started to arrive..after that, all of us went to take our photos for the student ID..when all of us were done, it was around 1030am..we were so happy 'cause that meant we could go home early..just had to go get our time table before we leave..

Took a half an hour walk to the other block of UTAR..when we arrived, we went to the office, happily walking and talking..upon reaching the office, came the Big Blow..we could not take our time tables till AFTER 2!!All of us were like "WHAT??!!" Imagine, it was like 11 something, which meant we had to wait another 3 hours or so to take our time tables..so all we could do was walk around..most of the time we sat inside that tiny office, waiting for time to fly by..but unfortunately, it just crawled by..by the time it was 2, all of us were so bored and sleepy..and there was a big crowd of people gathering..we had to squeeze our way in and out of the office..

Then came the time to go home..took the bus to the Asia Jaya station..after that, I had no idea which bus to take and which bus stop to wait at..so I called Shee Wuen (thank God she answered) and asked for her help..I didnt know where she meant, so I called again and again to get it right..till my credit ran out =P I almost got on the wrong bus at the wrong bus stop..but I finally found my way around..hehe

Then, on the way back to Klang, something went wrong with the bus I was in (I think it had something to do with the clutch)..suddenly the whole bus started shaking a little and it was making some noises and it couldnt pick up speed at all..it was crawling..and when it stopped to pick others up or drop others off, the bus' engine would 'die'..but thank God, everything turned out alright..managed to reach Klang station alright, I'm home, safe and sound..by God's grace, trully..i thank God that His grace is always sufficient for me..

Well, that's all..God bless ya'll=)

Back to Coll.....

2007-01-03T02:53:00.000-08:00

Yup!Back to college..today was my 1st day..orientation..had to wake up at 6am..then followed my mum to Klang bus station to take the bus to Asia Jaya, then take another bus to UTAR..I was supposed to follow Shee Wuen so that I can learn how to take the bus on my own..in the end, she fell sick and couldnt make it at that time..I tell you, it was really by God's grace I reached UTAR..God really took good care of me..it went like this...

When I arrived at Klang station, I didnt know which bus to take..so I asked one of the officers on duty about it..he pointed me in the direction of a cityliner bus..I thanked him..just as I was about to reach that bus, it left..haha..then I looked at the officer again and he pointed me to another bus..so I managed to board the bus..then I was thinking to myself "When reach Asia Jaya, how I know which bus to take?" Right at that moment, a guy with a UTAR t-shirt boarded the bus..I was screaming "THANK YOU LORD!!" in my head..

Then after I got to Asia Jaya, I met a friend of mine who happened to be going to UTAR for orientation too..so we went together..even though I ended up in the wrong block and I had to take the UTAR bus there, I really thank God for leading me and placing people around to help me..whether they know it or not..I think the guy must have been curious to why I was following him..hehe..

So that's the story of how I got to UTAR..now the story of how I came back..hehe..

I left the orientation early (I know, naughty girl..hehe) 'cause I wanted to follow Shee Wuen home..in the end (ya,you guessed it..) she left without me..haha..but not her fault lor..she no credit to tell me.. Anyway, I was like "great..now how am I supposed to go back?" It so happened that one of my new found friends wanted to go back already too..so I followed her out..then when her bro came to pick her up, she asked him to give me a lift to the nearest KTM station, which happened to be Setia Jaya..so I managed to get back home safely too..hehe..

I tell you,God was really watching over me..I didnt get lost, I didnt take the wrong bus, I didnt get stuck anywhere....really REALLY thank God..by His grace,honestly..He really guided me..I really thankful that He's always there..in any situation..He's my shepherd, my provider, my righteousness, my strength, my healer....to sum it up, HE'S MY EVERYTHING=)

All in all, I had a pretty exciting day..hehe..a lot of briefing though..slightly boring..hehe..the people there are quite friendly..managed to make 3 new friends..hehe..

Well, that's bout it..will update another day..GOD BLESS YA'LL!=)

JESUS LOVES YA!=)

Christmas is here!!

2006-12-25T02:09:00.000-08:00

Whee!!Today's christmas day..had service this morning, then christmas lunch in Taman Rasnah retaurant..had a blast today..giving out gifts, getting presents, chit chatting with great frens..lunch was alright..the food was ok. There were presentations by the Harvest Kidz and the Chinese service congregation..I just love it when small kids dance..they just look so cute!!

I was supposed to go jogging with the gals in Taman Rakyat at 5pm..in the end,I didnt go..neither did Li Anne..hehe..but not sure bout the others though..'cause in the end, no one said anything..planned to lose some weight 'cause during christmas season, we tend to feast..hehe..

Talking bout feasts..went to Edric's uncle's house for dinner last night..was kinda nervous..I was so blur, that when I talked to Kerry (Edric's sister), I fumbled with my words..wanna hear what happened?

Kerry: Hi Jolyn, Merry Christmas!
Jolyn: Hi Kerry..(take out her christmas present) Happy birthday..hehe
Kerry: Huh?Today my birthday ar?hahaha
Jolyn: Ah! Aiyo..sorry sorry..I mean merry christmas..
Kerry: Haha..why?Nervous ar..haha
Jolyn: (embarrassed) A bit lor..haha

Imagine how embarrassed I was! But come to think of it, it IS funny..haha..weell, it's not so bad, knowing that my sister (Melanie) did something like that too when she went to meet Jeremy's family..haha..

Watched 'Monster House' just now..quite an interesting movie..watched with my ocusins n my sisters..not bad..now nothing to do..cant think of what else to type dy oso..haha..

Well, that's bout it I guess..update another day..chaoz ya'll..and A BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!God bless =)

Christmas...!!!

2006-12-23T08:43:00.000-08:00

Yeah! Christmas is just around the corner..hehe..went caroling earlier..had a great time..it was so much fun..I even yelled 'MERRY CHRISTMAS!!' out the window of the car when we were passing by the Esso mamak..Klang-ies should know where I mean..hehe..got a few surprised stares, but hey, I enjoyed it..hehe..just spreading the christmas joy around..hehe..

Read Li Anne's blog just now..what she said is true..a lot of things have overshadowed the true meaning of christmas..it's not just another time of fun and presents, parties and games..it is the day that Jesus Christ was born..the Saviour of the world..that in itself is already a great reason to celebrate..and to you out there who's reading this, that dont know Christ, I just want to let you know that JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH!!He loves you so much that He was willing to die on the cross for you..He has totally changed my life..and to know that He loves me so much...tears flow down my cheek everytime i think of how much Jesus loves me, how much God loves me..His love is indeed MORE THAN LIFE!!

This pic is from last year's youth rally in our church..had Altered Frequency over..theme was MORE THAN LIFE..for God's love is more than life..just thought I'd share it with you all..

Well, it's high time I went to sleep..so late dy, and there's service tomorrow..I'll update my blog another time..chaoz!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!=D

One words sums the whole thing up..AWESOME!! God's presence was there alright..it was truly incredible..all glory, all power and all honour to our Lord and Saviour!AMEN! I really enjoyed myself thoroughly..the conference was great, learned a lot..and being able to be a part of it all..really thank God for the opportunity to serve Him..

Well, the sermons were really inspiring..one that really inspired me was the one bout stepping forward and stretching out..we have to leave the crowd and stop listening to them, and one step forward will draw you closer to God and you'll be able to hear Him better..and I love what one of the pastors said..plunder hell and populate heaven!! I really wanna see revival in Malaysia..but we cant just say that and do nothing bout it..we must take a step out and do something!There are so many souls out there that need to hear bout Jesus Christ..I love the lyrics to the song 'Save Australia' by Planet Shakers..it just speaks the cry of my heart..I really wanna see my friends get saved..I wanna plunder hell and populate heaven!!

I remembered when pastor Danny Fisher (hope I spelled it right=P) came to our church and preached..after the service, I went over to ask him to sign my Bible (as I always do), and after that, he looked at me, called Aunty Lai Forng over and said that I'm gonna help bring revival to this nation..I was kinda shocked and speecless..till now, though it has not yet been fulfilled, I know that God is not finished with me yet..He who has begun a good work in you will complete it till the day of Jesus Christ..(Philippians 1:6)..in the conference, one of the pastors said to pray through the promise,and I will continue to do so..I just cant wait to see what God has in store for Malaysia!!I'm so excited!!=D

All in all I was truly blessed in the PS conference..the rally was....wow....I think I'm losing my voice already..haha..the last night was the bom!I jumped like I've never jumped before, danced like I've never danced before, and I just sang my heart out..when you know that God has given all to you, you too will wanna give your all to Him because He deserves it!!It was great man..

God is so good!!=) I love you all!! God bless=)

HCA Youth Camp ROCKED!!

2006-12-11T04:23:00.000-08:00

well, youth camp's over..it was just fantastic man!!

I really had a wonderful time in the camp..was truly blessed..and to see so many of our youth so passionate bout God and just wanting to draw closer to Him and knowing Him more..it was really encouraging..KEEP IT UP!=)

God really touched me in the camp..during praise and worship, I could really feel the presence of God, and His Spirit just moving in our midst..it was all God and none of us..it was a time of refreshing, having a fresh touch from God and fresh sense of His presence..I feel that I have really drawn closer to Him..really indescribable..no words to express..and I feel that I have broken though the barrier in praise and worship..just between me and God..such a wonderful time of communing with Him and just being bfore His throne just as I am....just incredible.....

It was really encouraging to see our the youth so on fire for the Lord..when Pastor Williard mentioned that it's been so long since he last saw youths with strong hearts for the Lord, I felt so proud of our youth..but of course, we don't want it to just be temporary, getting fired up in camp and when we come back, everything goes back to the way it used to be..we want to ALWAYS be on fire for God and keep striving and keep STANDING FIRM in the Lord, abounding in the knowledge of Him and His Word..

But camp is also FUN right?! haha..we had loads of fun..I really enjoyed myself..fellowship-ing with the girls, getting to know everyone better, making new friends, hanging out, playing games....it was all good..I'm proud (?) to say that our youth is full of crazy people..haha..all so sporting wan..and that's just so cool man..we all don't mind making a fool of ourselves..haha..especially the guys..man, hillarious!haha..those who went..you all know what I mean..haha..

I'll try to get some photos from the others..till then, chaoz! =)

UTAR, here I come!

2006-11-27T22:03:00.000-08:00

Praise God! I've been accepted into UTAR for their January intake! I was kinda anxious to know if I got in or not..have been checking my application status online the past few days, but it was still in pending mode..

Well, today before checking my email, I was praying that the answer would be out real soon and that I would be offered a place there..and lo and behold, I recieved an email sent by thr college to me,and the answer was a resounding YES!! Thank God! So happy..coz if i dont get a place there, my parents want me to work..

Sure goes to show that God is always attentive to our prayers..for His promises are YES and AMEN, and He promises never to leave us nor forsake us..AMEN! God is good, all the time..and all the time, God is good..

I LOVE YOU LORD!!=D
