And the best Christmas present goes to...

I mean the one i received for this year...a lot were unexpected but it made my day nevertheless...

to be continued...

You never grow too old for...

things called teddy bears...everytime i see them...i just wanna take them home with me...so adorable and innocent and cuddly and soft...

i don't think i'll ever grow bored of soft toys...i was just walking in Jusco today and gosh...the bears...aaaahh...wanted to buy it!!!
but...i didn't. cos it was not...really that special..haha...i dunno..somehow it just doesn't 'call' out to me...haha..nolar..i prefer getting it as a present. No pun intended =)
i think rite..if i ever get hospitalized (of course i hope not except for delivery purpose!), a cute bear will cheer me up...a Russ bear...cannot ciplak wan...hahaha.
i guess its those branded kind of things like why some ppl like Nike so much tho Reebok is more long lasting and etc...

and retail therapy...it really works..haha..but it is short lived lar..but it works.a few hundred bucks poorer but somehow there is satisfaction..wat hormones are those again?endorphins...same effect as chocolates..HAHAHA
i think it works for aunties too...just that they buy household items instead of clothes..haha..
and food therapy!it transcends all ages...
mmm..mmm...

The best compliment goes to...

I've been receiving a lot of compliments this year...from a photo in a magazine taken last year to looking hot aka gorgeous in a wedding dinner recently...
hahaha...sounds like i'm gloating huh..

well...maybe i am because i'm really happy to receive all these compliments cos i know (and hope they are otherwise i'll still take it as they are) that they are sincere...out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks ;)

its..been a journey...from dorky to pleasant to cool...does it really matter??i mean..i feel a bit paiseh to even blog about it cos its like so wrong to be pretty and enjoying the compliments and admitting that...haha..oh well...make up do wonders and so does confidence in yourself...
if you read the book by Stasi Eldrege called Captivating (for women, for men its by John Eldrege called Wild at Heart), it says that every women wants to know if they are lovely, pretty, beautiful?
Well..i guess i do!hahaha..

niweis, the best compliment for this year came from my colleague today...i'm not gonna say wat it is lest i stumble some men ..ahem..i mean boys..oh no, i mean...guys...reading this...hahahaha!
it makes me feel on top of the world for the entire day!!!
i think it is the most flattering i've heard thus far... ;)
i think i'm gonna sleep smiling today..hehehe...
I am fearfully and wonderfully made...

AKHP...09...

gosh..i can't believe its only Friday nite and we just finished putting up a fun and humourous performance from the kids to the parents...
its really tiring..what they say is true...you must eat breakfast b4 u start cos in just 2 hours, u'll be so hungry and energy-less...and u must follow what the teacher in front is doing cos the kids imitate you!!! we were very well informed and prepared and if anyone thinks that they don't have to listen during the training, they are in for a surprise!!!cos everything they say is true!!!
i think i lost more weight in the last 3 days than i've ever been in the last 3 months..

the theme was honour and my word...i actually LEARNT stuff from this...i learnt more about honour and i can even memorize the 5 points about honour and tell you the salvation news with my 5 fingers. i can teach kids to dance and take them to toilet and give them water and serve them food. I learnt to give high gives though the group didn't really do so well but just to encourage them...i learnt to do all those silly actions so that the kids will be entertained..it wasn't really silly..it was quite fun ler..and i had to 'counsel' 1 kid cos she decided to pull out from dance cos dunno wat kid say wat to her and she got upset or sensitive about it. sigh...then i tried to encourage her by telling her to continue dancing no matter wat ppl say if this is your interest...then i told her that i found out why she pulled out from dance...i didn't tell her who told me but i could see her face changed a bit...i'm like oh noooooooooooo....-___- i hope she doesn't think that she cannot tell secrets to her friend anymore....=/ cos i got the story from her best friend who told her own mother(best friend's mum) and she told me cos i asked.

niweis...then there was this orphanage kid who grew attached to me..and today after the performances and they were separated from the other kids, she didn't want to look at me...she didn't give me any hugs...and i guess...she was sad...and i was sad too...
what to do...they have to leave and we'll never see them again...
i was all teary...but i bit my lips to keep the tears in my eyes...then i noticed 1 teacher or helper who care for the orphans also wiped some stuff from her eyes. sigh...sad wei...
i wonder what i've done today will it change their life in some way or another...
i have much to say...but for now...i'll sign off and ponder on what has happened today and give thanks for every good and perfect gift from above...=)

The tender hour...

Was at Mia's 2nd album launch last nite 13 Nov 2009 in Bentley Auditorium...
She performed for 1.5 hours altogether but it was soooo much fun that i didn't even realize that it's been over 1 hour...when she played her so-called last song (cos after that got encore and 2 more songs) i was like..har...1 hour dy ar...
niweis she has a really really really good guitarist...to be honest, the way this guy played(his name is Jun) reminded me of someone i once knew. So i guess that's how i could tell that he is really good. This guitarist is quite a humble and quiet looking man..and young too and i think he's married or not available cos he has a ring over his left finger. hahaha...
it was a good nite...really good music and so glad that Mia is just so down to earth..i think its time for her to be internationally known...Malaysia just don't know how to appreciate her talent until its too late.

Anyways, last Sunday while we the AYA choir were waiting for our turn to perform, it struck me that this might be the last time that Mia will be training us and that we will be performing with her. Suddenly i felt really sad and begin to appreciate the little hours that we have left...she has been soooooo patient with us even though we're not great or very talented in singing. Still she committed herself to train us. I hope we did well enough for her...during the performance, i am happy to say that i didn't hear a single flaw or felt we didn't do great enough. In fact, on my part, i think we did the best compared to our practices.
Am so glad to be a part of this choir this year...last year was a dread for me yet because there were non-christians and christians from other church, i felt that i should be there. And i didn't like MJ's songs..haha
So, after the event, after taking photo with Mia, i gave her a big hug and thanked her from the bottom of my heart for being so patient with us. Then suddenly we had a group hug.
sigh...it was a wonderful event. AYA. When i saw all the events in the past being screened on the big screen, i felt like crying...cos after SOOO long...what we are doing is being shown to people who have not seen it...gosh..i felt like it was finally being shown to the whole of Malaysia...
And backstage just moments before going into the limelight, i felt like what we are doing as a church and all is gonna be a norm in the future. Media peopl are gonna be blown away to see a church who is sooo professional and excellent in all that they do. All because we wanna glorify His name. wow...thank God for having me as part of His great team.
I wouldn't trade this for anything else...
Maybe it was right for me to be back here...for such a time as these...

1 Novembah 2-0-0-9

Man...wat a tiring day! super exhaustive for me...
my colleague from UK came to KL for holiday and it happened to be his wedding anniversary and he and his wife and cousin was here as well...myself and leechin took them around KL...me tour guide for the day. Met them in Ancasa hotel which is right next to Pudu bus station. Asked what they wanted to do few days before hand..did my homework and they told they wanted to see the fabrics cos his wife is a seamstress. I was like ok!let's check out Petaling street then we took a cab to Masjid India(wanted to go Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman). Gosh..then it was nearing lunch time and i was not familiar with those places at all..then there was this Indian guy with flyers for Gulati's telling us to go visit the shop and me being so tired and hot asked him where to get Indian food(thinking that we are in Little India so there SHOULD BE Indian food around). But lo and behold, we got led to this shoplot not too far off from the main street and they wanted us to go upstairs and there were a few guys waiting for us to 'usher' us upstairs and then next to that staircase was another restaurant and the guys there also wanted us to go into their shop. OH MY GOODNESS, i freaked out and say no. i don't even wanna go in there at all..so we left and then the Gulati's guy sort of tried to bring us to the store but we were just 'running' away from him...freaks!!!
ok..they are not but i hate this kind of treatment.
So, we ended up in Sogo foodcourt for lunch at 1.30pm. I didn't know that my UK colleague liked Indian food. So, wanted to take them to Brickfields but it was too far a journey and then they wanted to buy electronic stuff so after lunch took them to Low Yat by cab.oh my goodness...the jam...aiyoo...couldn't wait anymore so we got down at Pavilion walked to Low Yat. First time in history, KL stepped into LOW YAT...i thought it was some dodgy and dinghy place but it turned out to be looking better than Sg Wang.
HAHA...so i bought all my CD bag and stuff there..wasn't cheap k..maybe only hardwares are cheap.
so then go to Sg Wang..cos he wanted to buy titanium badminton racket..only to discover that in Sg WAng...sport shop ain't cool..so they only have 1-2 of those shops. Thanks be to God, at the first shop we enter...he bought his racquets and a pair of badminton shoes..yup..badminton shoes(writing essay when you are tired will jumble up your grammer). And he is HAPPY. Thanked me for bringing him there. By then, my other partner in crime has left me with 3 of them...and i coudln't wait to go home...hoped on the monorail only to discover we were on the wrong platform and made them go 1 big round back to their hotel. HAHA...and good thing that they were observant and didn't completely rely on me or else we'll board the train to the wrong direction and takes us another half an hour just to go back.
Said our goodbyes at KL sentral and i reached home at 8pm. totally mumified..slept and didn't hear the alarm in the morning!!!
Thank God there was another alarm at 630am(which was to remind me to pick up Joben) so that woke me up and i wondered what day it is. Took me a few seconds to realize that it is Sunday and that i'm late.

so..now, i'm home...grumpy...moody with my mom...now waiting to finish typing this so i can go to sleep...

good nite ppl...thanks for reading...hope you were entertained as much as i enjoyed writing it =)

Last week of Oct...

So fast time flies...its gonna be Christmas soon...so many things happened...
i've been working in this new company for 1 year 2 months now...and i'm still project-less...seems like a sabbatical year for me where i am not responsible for any major projects.

looking back at this time of the year..Christmas is coming...i wished i didn't stay in Aus for Christmas...if my friend in Aus reads this...i'll most prolly be steak...(aka dead meat geddit??haha)
Christmas in Aus was really quiet...we hung out with ppl we don't really hang out with and i fell on the kitchen floor and knocked my elbow..till now i'm not sure if i suffered any hairline fracture or is my elbow bone or joint out of place..it always feel weird when i put my left elbow on the table..
talking about joints, J.Han made an observation while eating crab..he said the crab's joint is very hard to crack even though he's using the er..cracker?tool...yeah so, i said...yup, so the word of God is like a double edged sword that can pierce through every joint and marrow(?)...great rite??
and of course..the whole table looked at me speechless..-__-

back to my Aus story, then i tot i would get a thrill out of Boxing day shopping..to be honest...i didn't get any thrill from it..infact, it was so crazy cos at 9am there's tons of ppl in the shopping mall..9 AM...-__- i should be asleep at that time...but no...i joined the crowd..didn't have a good breakfast...run from shop to shop and grab stuff before it all runs out..madness..can't even try on the clothes cos there's just too many ppl.

i wished i was in church in Malaysia and not missed the play =( boohooo...
i reckon its more meaningful than to try to buy more clothes or things just cos its cheaper...
no...i think its the friends and friendships here in Malaysia that makes it really memorable and meaningful..

this time, i'm gonna take the whole week off...i never tried to take a few days off before Christmas or even after Christmas...only 1 day before New year i would take off...
Pray that my leaves will be approved!!!

My wish list for this Christmas is:
  • a new keyboard!
  • a road trip to ..........
  • Ipod (is that what its called now?hahahaha...so outdated lar me...)
  • jamming session..i dunno how or where or who...but...yeah... ;)
  • gym membership...(just kidding)
haha..not really wish list huh...more like things to do by Christmas...or next year...

so korean lar this photo...

Undivided...

Is the song playing over and over in my head but i have no idea who sang it...i tot it was Chris Tomlin but i'm not sure...he has a coarse voice...and sounded a bit emo.

aiyoo...so sleepy now..
i had 2 sandwiches this morning and lunch i had a small custard cream pie and lots of water.
Then for dinner, i had KFC. gosh...i feel so unhealthy...

now energy-less..and super sleepy...
Pastor preached a very good message on discipline. Being disciples and having a purposefilled life will require discipline...like what do i see myself? as a leader? as a PG coordinator?as a worship leader that is LEADING ppl into worship? then what am i doing now that is behind the scene to lead a successful and significant and stress free life?

k...blur now...zoning off...kepala pening dy..

Deepahvali tv show...

oh ya..i was watching a drama on TV..it was kinda weird, the actor is Ashkay Kumar i think and he was acting as this loser guy and eventually became a guy that's great in Kung Fu and it was set in China and got Hongkie actor and chinese actors...it was kinda weird but fun to watch.
Main language was in Hindi and the Chinese of course spoke Chinese but there was this Chinese looking dude who acted as a crazy man and he could speak Hindi and once his memory recovered, he was reconciled to his Indian looking daughters (beautiful mature ladies that can kick butt and fly using umbrella)and spoke to them in Hindi. Apparently he is an Inspector in China(after he regained his memory) and taught Kung Fu to Ashkay cos he wanted to learn Kung Fu and then defeated the bad guy(Hongkie guy). Ashkay looks real good...hot...well build too..ehehehe..
So this is a story of an Indian guy in China...Chandhi chowk to China...

Happy Deepahvali...

It was a hot day but here am i in Kam's place for her open house...but wat attracted me most wasn't the food. It wasn't the drinks...it wasn't the guests...ha!

it was the puppy that came with one of the guest and it was given to her...he's docile according to Sam. I think the puppy would fit Kam's loud nature ;) Don't you think so Sam?

i was actually thinking of having a puppy and was wondering where to find one.And tada, Kam's friend has 1 more pup...Why would i want one?You know like after dinner, i just wanna go play with my dog if i have one...take him for walk...talk to him...brush his coat...makes sure he has food and drink...if he's really clean, i would have him follow me everywhere...hahahaha..

but ar..thinking about cleaning him up and cleaning up the house cos his fur may just fly everywhere and putting up with the smell...i'm not so sure anymore...hahaha...

sigh...=)

one day perhaps i will...ruff ruff

such a scene...

what a depressing day it has been...
right in the morning after prayer somemore...wah...really tested my temper.
i got a call from someone close to me and i shouted over the phone and i was so so so angry...
its ok to be angry rite...but the worse thing is, cos i shouted or at least i spoke with a loud voice that is obviously filled with frustration, almost my whole office heard my voice..they may not make out wat i said but they heard me...
and i'm supposed to be the salt and light at WORK...ARRRR!!!!

i f e e l s o s m a l l . . . . . as i was sending my boss home today(cos her car broke down), she asked me if i'm ok cos i shouted in the morning kan...and i innocently told her wat happened and asked her if i was really loud and she said yes.-__- to my horror now as i looked back..i'm like..oh gosh...my colleagues will never look at me the same again and they are going to think that christians are hypocrites and no difference from them!!!
in fact, they seem to behave better than i do!!i know..not supposed to condemn myself but i let my tongue slipped..i didn't control it...tho i was aware of wat was happening.
SIGH...and i was telling my boss about Jesus and christianity in the car...

aiyo..i wonder wat can God make out of this...

then then in the afternoon, i was in a TC and i almost fell asleep!!aiyoo...when i close my eyes, i almost dozed off and cos i was so sleepy, i keep fidgeting and when i close my eyes and force it to open again, my head hurts...aiyoo..such torture to be in a TC...or meeting. i hate meetings...cos i get sleepy...not that i hate the contents or the person conducting it.

Cartoons and TV2 movies...

when i was in primary school and high school...i knew wat my Saturday and Sunday and after school drill was...besides going for tuition and piano lessons and co-curricular activities.
By the way, when i was in school, i couldn't pronounce co-curriculum or co-curricular neither could i spell it. It just doesn't flow in my mind...it sorta gets stuck somewhere and i can only say..
co-*****kulum. i tongue-twisted at the *****part and end with -kulum.


Niweis, back to my story...my drill was to watch cartoons on Sat and Sun from 8.30 or 9 am to 12pm. Then lunch and nap or read a book, then check for the next best movie showing on TV and wait for that show which is normally at 2pm or 5pm. Then break for dinner and continue watching at 8.30pm or 9pm. Then it was bed time and prolly another round of reading. And while doing all that, i'll snack during the showtimes. I could finish the whole packet of Twisties and i will eat 2-3 packets in a week. And then at almost every commercial break, i will go to the fridge and look for food to eat. Maybe get a piece of chocolate, savour it in my mouth. Then back to my seat and then back again to the fridge. Otherwise, it'll be keropok in my mouth. Or maybe a time with my doggy like getting him frustrated while i bounce a ball in front of him. He'll go crazy and bark like mad cos he wanted the ball but he can't have it. Or i'll make him jump over the board that separates the outside to the inside of the house. I keep making him do that cos he does it so gracefully...he jumps over neatly until 1 day he couldn't jump over neatly. His back legs got caught at the board and he fell clumsily into the house...and i was surprised. i knew something was wrong with him and made him do it again a few more times..and about 20% of the time, he couldn't execute a perfect jump. Well, as time pass, he actually had glaucoma..the white stuff in his iris, so he was almost blind...

Anyways, basically i ate a lof of junk food and i was as skinny as a stick. I couldn't wear baby tees cos i look sunken in it. The day i could wear the baby tee my aunty gave me, i knew i put on weight. haha...so i never remembered whether i had flat tummy or how skinny my arms were. I was quite frustrated that i couldn't wear a lot of clothes cos i looked so skinny in it.
Now, i wished i had known earlier so that i would wear those nice size 6 baju!!!hahaha..

yeah..so, TV2 movies are fun to watch on Tues nite, Wed nite, Thurs nite and Fri nite.

Seafood...

oh such yummilicious 'he kor' or mantis prawn with Nestum and steamed LaLa with ginger, cili padi and wine..*pengsan**
the taste just muah!it looks ordinary but once in your mouth...its like your taste buds get a wake up call and just wants more of it and you don't get jelak at it!!! if only i have the 'tong yuen' as well..wah..awesome-ness. No charge to it..

i slept so much today...but then again...i slept at 3am last nite...i just love sleeping late but heard from somewhere that girls are more prone to dark circles under their eyes if sleep late...then i slept again in the afternoon to the point it took effort just to get up from bed..haha.

i call this day unproductive but some calls it a luxury to be able to sleep as and when you like.
man.. this whole week has been such a slack for me..i only worked 1.5 days this week...yeap..can't believe it eh...macam i pun ber-raya.
must be the first time in a long time that i took off on my birthday..got my IC done and with a brand new pretty photo^_^
wanna see???kekekekeke...

after i collected my IC, i went shopping!!woohoo...saw the shoe (and price), tried it on and bought it. some said i shop veli fast...good good..
don't you feel that sometimes, you just see what you like and want and the price is good and its worth buying and all you need to do is just try it and it'll definitely fit wan...how i know? i also dunno..maybe by experience..and then just get it!
yeah...i love those kind of shopping..fast..no need to think so much.
pea brain shopping.
hahahhaa..
ok...yawning...sleepy...good nite and may tomorrow be a great day!

My special day!!!^_^...

oh my goshhhhhh....this is it! ^_^
23-09-09

quite a memorable start to this day...i was kinda paranoid..thinking that people are going to jump out of my closet or rooms and toilet and say 'SURPRISE!!!" but nope...that didn't happen...which is good cos i think i might get a heart attack or panic attack...-_-'

had a fun time in Kampar...good breakfast in the marketplace, followed by visitation to a homie in Malim Nawar cos she just gave birth 3 days ago...now would be 5 days ago..then went to the waterfall...swung from the ledge using the rope there like Tarzan and then let go and fell into the waterfall pool area...(dunno wat to call it!)

then the best part of all...a garden dinner!wow...i felt so honored and loved when i saw everyone in Shereen's household prepared food and drinks for us to have dinner in the garden...wow...in conjunction with my birthday...they didn't have to do it cos you know...many reasons...not my family member most importantly...but they did. and i really really felt so loved...i was telling Jecy..is this how God's love is like??i bet its not even like this but MORE...and..i'm not sure how that feels like...gosh...i would like to have more of it...yeah...sounds..wrong rite...
to be singing about God's love but not...experiencing it as stated...i mean...at least not from friends cos this totally blows my mind...i love anything to do with garden...weddings to dinners to just casual chit chatting..but the best thing about this garden...the house is on the hill so it overlooks Kampar area...wow...i tell you...its so so nice..i can't even imagine that this is possible...

i totally love the nature surrounding the house...

last Saturday and Sunday was a pretty busy but happy weekend...
Saturday took my parents out for dimsum...
Sunday after church drove down to Melaka for a conference cos was part of the worship band to play for the missions conference...then after that supper with the band and pastors!woohoo...felt so privileged to be eating with them...its like..respect and honor and revere at the same time..so dunno wat to say...so keep quiet most of the time..hahaha...
the drive back to KL was quite intense as the driver and co-driver shared and talked about relationships..i tell you..this is definitely a hot topic when you go for road trips...everyone will contribute and tell...hahaha

yeah...so it was a fun and meaningful weekend ^_^

The good ol' ways...

Letters are fun...

I enjoy receiving handwritten letters from friends...i remember when i was in Std 6, my classmate and i used to write letters to each other tho we see each other in class everyday...and every now and then i'll ask her if she received my letter and sometimes asked whether she has posted her reply to me..=)

someone used to write me a daily journal or diary..all the entries of what happened that day or what are the thoughts for the day would be compiled and sent to me when i was studying in Australia every 1-2 months.

i love receiving cards with personal messages in it. if it was posted to me, even better! the anticipation i felt when opening the envelope and then the card..wah...syiok man...like drinking coffee for some people...

^_^

September 9, 2009

Oh, what a glorious day...Its my Mom's birthday =)
Took half day off. Wanted to take her for some shopping then dinner but everything got delayed cos my dad had to finish some business before that.

It was kinda weird. We got in the car then started arguing about everything while in the jam and when we reached the restaurant, we ordered the food and had a normal dinner.
I learnt some things when taking my parents out to eat:
  • Let my mom choose the table then my mom will tell my dad to choose the table and ultimate decision maker is: my dad.
So everyone happy.
  • Next, looking thru the menu, its good to have the waiter standing nearby but not on your table. Observing and listening to your conversation. When we finally dunno what to order and made this statement, 'let the waiter recommend to us.' The waiter dashed to our table and suggested the Merdeka set menu. All 3 of us let out a sigh of relieve and said, 'Why didn't you tell us earlier??
hahaha...anyways, good dinner, took some nice photos and as i looked at my mom, she smiled. A real smile. From her heart.
Wow...i wished she would smile like that everyday.
Maybe she did but i din't noticed it. Maybe she doesn't cos she's tired. Maybe life has been hard that there seems to be no reason to smile(try having a dad like mine who lives for himself only.oklar..not THAT bad lar...)
oh well, its good to see her smile like that.

I finally signed up to TWITTERZ!!! yeah, was strongly encouraged to get an account for the sake of the ministry... ;)
and after delaying for a week or so, today after a disappointing news from work, i just wanted to be super rebellious.
Quite sad leh..my project canceled..its like..u're teaching but you've no students. So for me, its the same.i'm a CRA but project-less CRA. it decreases my value as a CRA. Thank God i'm bonded otherwise, i risk being retrenched...

So, since i've got lesser work to do now, might as well TWITTER! =P

yeah...so, i did. Signed up on 9/9/09. How cool is that?
Did you guys do anything cool today?cos you know...its like once every...10 years...hahaha..oh wait..maths wrong...er...90 years...
aiya...don't know..as long the day and month is the same, i'm happy =)

you know, i suddenly realized that i have a lot to thank God for...
thank God my parents are healthy and able-bodied.
thank God i have no lack.
thank God i am in church and serving Him and His people and people.
thank God i have a job (tho my project got canceled).
thank God i have friends and new friends.
thank God i have a new bag from Elo!!!<----this is like the best ever...i bought for myself with the excuse of 'Its my birthday gift' =D
thank God for the musical skills and talent given to me.
thank God for the beautiful skies.

yeah...and...many more.

God bless Malaysia.

more-than-f-i-n-e...

yeah...thank God we're fine...unhurt...
weird that it came a day after my dad's car got hit from behind...

you know..the first thing human naturally will do is blame.point finger.then feel guilty because didn't pay attention as much as they should.guilty because if this hadn't happened then that wouldn't happened.chain reaction.dadada...

yes, i do think like that too. i wonder wat is God trying to teach me. why is this happening? why like that? how can? i serve You wor..i give my tithes wor..i do..i do..i do..

and i'm reminded of what was being taught in church recently. That the enemy is after your faith.
not my car. not my money but my faith. wow...is faith so precious? i guess it is since Jesus said faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains..be it physical mountain or 'mountain'.
so, i wonder what mountains that the enemy forsee me moving such that my faith is being challenged today...or perhaps...is your faith being challenged today and u need to know this?

to be continued...

Had a good day today...met up with my relatives and had lunch together...
then tried to be a professional photographer using Nikon...hahaha...the pictures shall speak on my behalf...=D

arrrhh...im not sure how to write this blog. Do i reveal the deep thoughts of my mind or my emotions or do i say something general and over-the-counter kinda stuff or do i share my testimony here or do i say something so that it may encourage the readers of this blog?
its so frustrating...even typing this is frustrating!

There used to be a time when no one knows or bothers to find out about what you think or do in your life. Now there's FB and blog and tweeter that tells ppl the latest updates of your life and that has become like a passive way of communicating with people...
it defeats the purpose of being a human...which is to build a community and be a community but we have become a virtual community.
Do you know that preemies(premature babies) that are being massaged daily with the loving touch from their parents or nurses has a higher chance of surviving?
being able to hear their parents speak to them or to see their face...love is being communicated.
How can you FB a preeemie!!! or use the mobile phone to speak to your baby???or send your love and wishes thru a card!!!???
you know wat i mean...the very need of a human being is to have a relationship be it friendship or family...where love is being communicated...by spending time together and another 4 more languages...

ok...i'm not saying you can't buy gifts or talk on the phone or chat online or sms.

i'm just saying...don't take your family and friends for granted...show them your love today and tell them before its too late when they leave this earth and never to return...
and i think i am speaking for myself...at least for myself...

O' happy day, happy day...

This song is like stuck in my head...its so happy...

Today is Merdeka Day for Malaysia!woohoo...can you feel the excitement??? cos it used to be more joyful when i was a kid...now its more on a serious note. Independence day leh...don't play play...serious stuff...i think its a blessing for Malaysia to be an independent country. and certainly it wasn't easy to achieve it! i can't say that i'm independent cos i'm still living under my parent's roof.
oh well, it doesn't mean i don't need any help, it just means being Asian...hahahaha...

anyways, pastor K preached about faith and testimony on all 4 services. It was about having the faith to get the testimony. Testimony is not a testimony without faith at works.

A quick recap of what happened 2 days ago:
1) a uni friend confessed she's feeling suicidal. She's not even close to me. well, cos she's in australia cos she's born there. i told her to pray to Jesus. talk to Jesus and i gave her the salvation's prayer. Thank God for minizine!!!i was frantically searching for it cos she could go offline anytime.

2) i sorta 'forced' another uni friend to sign up for WCA. I didn't do it cos i felt 'pressured'. I felt that it would really really encourage this friend of mine cos he was given VSS and now is jobless. instead of staying at home feeling depressed and useless, i was quite adamant that he should come for this and he WILL be blessed. i believe he will be. Even if he doesn't, at least he has spent 4 hours NOT feeling depressed. I have never 'forced' anyone to go for seminars or events like this if i don'tt believe in it.

ok...didn't seem like a quick recap after all...hahaha...
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!

My inspiration...

Unplugged happened tonight and it was a really enjoyable time of listening to talented people performing especially Mia, Ellie and Tessie...most of all Tessie...she's just amazing...her life is such a testimony of God being real in our lives.

And that real-ness or reality, can only be experienced. It cannot be just told. You can't say that this water in the glass is cold until you drink it.

And i'm a believer of practicing what you preach THOUGH sometimes i fail to practice what i preach...and i guess its becos i didn't believe what was being TOLD to me until i have EXPERIENCED the effects of making those unwise decisions.

Today i read from 2 Kings 5:1-15 about how Naaman was healed of leprosy.
Naaman went to see prophet Elisha and was expecting to be healed according to the ways he know but all he got was a message to go wash himself in this not-so-clean river 7 times and he shall be healed. Of course, being a commander of the army...what is this nonsense to do something so simple? But he must've been a pretty good boss cos his servant advised him to try it out anyway cos if the prophet had told him to do something great, Naaman would've done it rite..wat more...this simple act? And so Naaman did...and he was healed and he said in 2 King 5:15 'Now i know that there is no god in all the earth, except in Israel.'
ALL this TROUBLE just to have Naaman recognized that there is only 1 God.

And..perhaps...all that we're going through now...good and bad...is just for us to know...that only Jesus is God and Him alone..

House dedication...

I just want to thank God for the wonderful friends and people that choose to spend their Friday night with me and put the hands in the plow with me...

and the gifts!wow weee...i really like the plant with red flower...and lots of Famous Amos!!! and the picture frame which can put my studio (ahem) pictures...

I hoped everyone enjoyed themselves with the fellowship and food that was served...i wish i could have more talking time with everyone...catch up and all..but...i was like running around...so i'm really grateful to all who set up the bbq pits and cook the chicken and the few people who chose to stay back and clean up the grillers and the floor for me...EVERYONE played a part in making this such an enjoyable time...you can't imagine how tiring it was for me...
BUT...i'm really glad i could bless my friends with this simple gathering..i have always wanted to have gatherings in my house...just that my previous house was too small and too mafan to get parking...

know wat...they blessed me more in return!!gosh...this little Tweetie bird went around getting people to sign the card and collect love offering...this is the first time in my life i got a love offering for having a house warming...haha..
Thank you for your generosity...=) God bless you heaps!

Babies and milk...

I just got back from visiting baby Isaiah...what a privilege to behold the one-week-old baby in my hands and to have him vomited some of his milk on me...hahaha..
such a wonder...1 thing i find about babies is that you can stare at them for the longest time and never get bored of them...and to have them looked back at you...wow..its like a priceless moment...
having captured their attention is like earning brownie points...like getting an A++ in your exam...
=D

I think they are the best stress reliever...well...maybe not when they feed at night and you have to be awake as well...
I would rush home right after work just to see my baby...when i have my own...haha...why?cannot talk about this meh?

anyways...i was thinking when i have my own wedding...i'm gonna have...buffet for dinner!hahaha..or lunch...
i don't want chinese round table food...i find it a waste to see so much food being thrown away!and i feel it...ya...i feel for the food...haha

erm...to be continued...battery dying...

Saturday, July 18, 2009

can i just be really...

myself...well...almost...or maybe its another part of that is like hidden talent...you know what i mean...ahem...


QL's house garden...



in G hotel's toilet...someone was in the loo and my camera was making clicking noises as i took this photo...its blur cos i was kinda worried that she would scream or come out from the cubicle and shout at me saying 'You peeping Tom!'

ya...like I look like a Tom...

My hope, my dreams...

I found my camera ^_^
I don't know where i misplace my camera charger-__- it should be in 1 of the unopened boxes.

today as i try to be more aware of my surroundings when i drove, i drove past my house while holding the auto gate remote control. i was thinking why isin't my house gate opening...i have pressed the right button. Then my neighbour opposite a few doors away was looking at my direction and then i realized that i had drove past my house..the gate was behind me..can you imagine how red my face was?? i pretended that i was indeed at the correct position as though i wanted to reverse my car into the house...i did reverse in but my parking was lousy. i didn't bother reparking. gosh...all the trouble...what for? Just so my neighbour wouldn't think i'm a blur sotong.hahaha...

You should know by now that my title has nothing to do with this funny incident. perhaps it wasn't funny but still the title has nothing to do with how funny it should be.

i hope...i hope for many things...
i dream...not as many as i should...
We are firstly spiritual beings...if we know we should eat everyday, 3-4 times a day for our earthly body, what do we feed our spirit?
Word of God...now i understand why Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. what a revelation! and how often do i feed my spirit? once a day only. morning quiet time or night quiet time...

all my hope, all my dreams, God i lay them at Your feet...

one m o r e encounter with You...

1 July 2009...

6 months officially gone and the other half of the year has begun...

gosh...today is a bit emo day...its my mentor's 2nd last day. Last night we had a farewell dinner with him in Brickfields at this restaurant that is situated in Temple of fine arts...its a new building and the concept is buffet style and you can eat as much as you want and pay as much or as little as you want. Basically any proceeds from this restaurant is a donation for the Temple of Fine Arts. To maintain it. The food is vegetarian and its cooked in such a way that it'll remind you of home cooked Indian food and mom's cooking. Quite interesting...i enjoyed ghee tosai and green chutney the most and mango lassi is really like...fruit and milk. I also had other food lar...

After that, we went out and took photos and talk like a bunch of good friends. It was indeed a fun time and i enjoyed myself.

Anyways, besides emo cos of my mentor, my cousin sis just moved out of house...sigh...tho i don't talk much to her(hardly a word everyday), i feel sad that...she's no longer staying with us...aiya sometimes i don't understand my parents wan...when she is around, complain about this and that...actually i think she's pretty ok lor...except being passive and a bit impolite like never address the elders when she reach home or after dinner straight away go to her room and never see her or hear from her till the next morning. So, hopefully in this new student house, she'll learn to open up and interact with peoples...

I just wanted to say i miss them...that's all...

Saturday, June 27, 2009

did you see it?....

yeah...neither did i...maybe i did vaguely...the week just passed by again...i couldn't remember where i had lunch on Thursday.
I remember singing in church and watching Transfohmer2 with a big bunch of church friends and friends. And i remember wanting to include my colleagues for paintball...
But today is exceptional...besides the huge media attention and the world's attention on the demise of the greatest star of the century ie Michael Jackson, it rained and its my mentor's final Friday in Malaysia...sigh...i wish...it wasn't this gloomy. For once, i actually feel the loss that is about to come.
Am trying to think how to better spend it but no point cracking my head and not enjoying the moment that we have now. After the meeting this afternoon, we both logged onto Facebook and signed the memorial for MJ. It was funny cos right after my post went up, he posted his as well and he was laughing and saying look at the Malaysia team, both on Facebook after meeting. =)

And then we had lunch with the rest of colleagues and it felt like the last big family lunch that we'll have with him as colleagues. His last day in the office is next Thursday...so everyday till then will be his last days in Malaysia...

arrgghh...so depressing...anyways, i had steamboat for dinner today...to celebrate Yoke's belated birthday...i don't really like steamboat buffet because i can't eat much. The most i can go is prolly like 5 biji of pork balls plus some bits here and there and it just doesn't feel worth it to me. I don't mind having steamboat at home tho..so we had the steamboat and i was eating my ice cream and looking at this prawn which looked really bloated and short. It just doens't look like how prawns normally look...as i looked closely, i realized that this prawn was pregnant so it had many eggs stuck below its legs. I'm like...horrified...i felt like puking cos i'm gonna tear off its head and scales and suck up the eggs and tear its body apart and put it into my mouth. I really felt like not swallowing it. niweis, i forced myself to swallow it and tell myself that it is nice food.
Haha...yeah..i think must be 1 of those rare moments that i had a pregnant prawn for dinner.

ok...story time up...time to bed.
good nite readers...sweet dreams...

We have overcomed...

Woow weee...yet another week has passed. So many things happened..good and bad...yet i feel unfulfilled...like i haven't done my best for this week. ok...i know my group won for Best Pasta in m church punya 2015 event. The euphoria lasted a whole 24 hours..haha..anyways, i noticed that I strive for efficiency in all that i do. I always plan for the most productive way to spend my time, talent and treasures...I can't stand having to wait except waking up time...that i don't mind waiting longer.hahahaha..niweis...
I enjoy having plans in advance and yet also having spontaneous plan.
I enjoy driving and going for a drive...
I enjoy eating and making food to eat...
I enjoy hanging out with friends and yet also having time alone...
Being able to see and/or help someone choose to move out of their problems and turn their eyes to God or just being able to bless someone in word or deed, make their life a bit better to go through, i think, is the most fulfilling thing i would have ever done.

Gosh...i wish i have a puppy now..he would prolly sit next me and wagging his tail and look at me with his adorable eyes...^_^

The right to be bangga for 24 hours or so!...

The Underdogs won...the dark horse won...that's what some people say...
Who would have thought that 2 demure girls from Uptown Damansara could've beaten all the others.............pasta dish...HAHAHAHAHA...

I"m so glad that my colleague kept her word and opened up her house and also cooked the pasta and also came to the event!i've been inviting her and even let her listen to the Yesus kupercaya song and told her how nice it is and told her its my Pastor that sang it. And today she gets to meet Pastor but not personally. She said Pastor is pretty. Hahaha...

Let me tell you the story...initially i wanted to make Carbonara pasta and since she heard about the event(cos Matt shared during PG before Revo conference that week that there will be a cooking event and that got her interested though she doesn't know how to cook pasta) and showed interest in joining, i decided to really go all the way for her if she would come...we were supposed to get her friend Arvin to cook since he made really good pasta the other time. But this guy couldn't make it. So i thought ok..since she doesn't cook pasta, i shall do the carbonara which i know how to make. And i asked for her input and she kept insisting subtly that we should put cili padi...i was like @_@ how can...the taste doesn't go with carbonara...anyways i was kinda determined that i will make the carbonara by hook or by crook...but at the back of my mind i felt i should do this together with her. So i said ok, let's put cili padi when we marinate the chicken. Then she forgot to bring the chicken back to marinate so i had to do it. So, today while driving to her house after work, she told me she has tomato paste at home and herbs and we should put garlic and onions...so i was again@_@ and then decided that...u know wat...we'll do the tomato based pasta because it will go with the cili padi idea...never mind that i had bought stuff to make carbonara cos its just milk and cream and cheese. We can still use the chicken and mushroom and parsley. At first i wanted to make the carbonara because i knew it could win but then i thought i want this to be group effort and i want her to be involved, so it didn't really matter if we didn't win. hahaha...and while making the whole pasta dish process, it was pretty cool you know..i honestly dunno wat in the world is adante pasta(i googled dy so now i know) and i didn't have a clue wat kinda taste i wanted. I just knew...it will be spicy bcos of the cili padi...and my colleague Shalini did a fantastic job with choosing the right sized plate and though the color din't match, she was smart enough to put the pasta on 1 side and garnish it simply with mint leaves and tomatoes. She did all the mixing and deco and some cooking. I simply marinated the chicken and add herbs and cream whenever needed. So it was really a favour from above...woohoo!

Now, let me write the recipe down before i forget!

It is called Fiery Bolognese =D

Serves 2-3 persons(depending how much you eat)

Ingredients:

To marinate chicken overnight(good for YWA as we can marinate the chicken at night and then use it the next nite to cook. Chicken would then be super marinated.hahaha)
  • 300g of minced chicken
  • 4-5 pieces of cili padi chopped finely(can also grind it)
  • 2-3 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 teaspoon of crushed black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of grinded white pepper
Mix well and leave to marinate overnight in cooler fridge(not freezer).

To prepare spaghetti
Boil water in medium sized pot. Put some salt and wait for water to boil. Put in about half a packet of spaghetti (You can also use fettucine or angel hair).

Boil until spaghetti looks a bit fat. I can't tell exactly how long. Prolly 20 minutes over low fire and boiling. Best to take 1 strand out and pinch off 2 cm and eat it to see if its cooked well or adante. er...ya...

Drain spaghetti and wash with cold water. Put 1-2 tablespoon of butter onto spaghetti and mix well. Can add more butter if you want it to be really oily looking.

Sauce! One of the main things...
  • 5-6 cloves of garlic(the more the better) chopped fine
  • 1 biji onion chopped fine or sliced
  • 4 cili padis chopped fine
  • half bottle of Prego's tomato paste
  • 1-2 tablespoon of Spaghetti bolognese herbs(comes in a bottle like McCormick herbs bottle)
  • 4-5 tablespoon of cooking cream ( or cream or milk also can but maybe different taste lar...)
  • white mushroom as much as you want and sliced it.
  • 2 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley
  • grated cheese
  1. Heat pan with 2-3 tablespoon of butter and another 1/4 cup of cooking oil
  2. Put in garlic, onions and chopped cili padi and stir fry for few minutes or until fragrant.
  3. Add in the marinated chicken. Stir fry till mostly cooked. Don't cook till meat is dry. Add some (prolly 1/4cup) pasta water(from cooking the pasta) and continue simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Add half bottle of Prego's tomato paste.
  5. Mix well. Add cooking cream.Stir well. Color will turn from tomato red to orangey. Add salt to taste if tasteless.
  6. Add mushroom (can also add in earlier before the tomato paste). Mix well.Simmer another 5 minutes.
Sauce is now done!

Finally, when ready to eat, only then mix the spaghetti and the sauce in a bowl and serve on a plate with garnishing. Careful not to break the pasta strands. Looks like that was 1 reason why our pasta won cos the strands didn't break.

Voila...bon apetit! ^_^
I'm so happy that we won...thank You Jesus! I hope even beyond that that she will have an encounter with God personally...

5. keyboard(this will prolly take longer than planned)
6. perfume(iSsey Miyake people...)

The right to grieve for 24 hours-Part 2

so cool rite the title...hehe...

anyways...i found out on Monday that my Associate manager cum my work mentor is leaving my company by early July. I didn't know how to react when the news broke in the morning...i was geared up for a good Monday and that day when i walked past his desk, he called me and asked me if i had stored all the required informations for the 2 projects that i was assisting him in. I looked at him really annoyed cos i know i did my job and he's now like nagging me (he wasn't naggy, i just felt like he was.hahaha) and i told him i did everything he told me to do. Then he said 'Ok, good. Just checking cos you would need to burn these into CDs. I am transferring my projects out.' Again i looked at him funny cos no projects means no work so why in the world would he want to free himself like that. 1st thing to my mind was 'Are you leaving?' and eventually he admitted that he is. I coudln't believe my ears. I din't cry and wail but i just stood there kinda proud of myself that i got the answer right...like hitting the bull's eye...yeah! but many thoughts came thru my mind as well so i stood there speechless. He had been such a great example of a worker and supervisor and a leader.
I learnt a lot from him. I learnt how to manage people from him and watched how he managed the monkeys from India team (he came up with that term, not me). i learnt to prioritize and stick to your decision. He said its not easy but people will respect you for that. And he said nothing is urgent. Everything is important but nothing is urgent (besides life and death lar...talking about work). Whenever i feel stressed, i should take 10 mins break and go out for a walk.
Sigh...i know no one stays in the company forever. But it is to the company's loss when he leaves. And nothing the company could do to make him stay unless they change the HQ to Singapore. Anyways, he has a dream and path that he wants to be on. So, just have to let him go.

I wish you all the best Roshan P. and thank you for taking me under your wings and mentoring me.

The right to grieve for 24 hours...

i was just reading my latest blog post and realized that the 2 verses which i had placed in my blog echoes the teaching from Revo academy and P.A.R.T.Y. at night...
Ps Sandra talked about the F.R.U and U stands for unwavering faith...amazing..God is always confirming His word to me through sermons and teachings on the weekends...when you believe and expects Him to speak...=)

The right to grieve for 24 hours...is what Ps Kenneth said we could have (cos going thru difficult time or events lar...not simply grieve wan k...)and then after that get people (such as leaders) who are willing to walk you through this process...
i feel like i'm grieving now...and i'm thankful that there are people willing to stand by me this time to share my grieve...making it less painful...
you know wat makes me feel loved...last Sunday, i had a bunch of friends who was willing to wait for me for lunch after church...i din't expect them to that since i was talking to someone and only finished the conversation quite late(and i'm sure they were pretty hungry and tired cos waiting is tiring)...it really touched my heart...cos not many people would get out of their comfort zone...it may be something simple but powerful to me^_^

People asked me...what is your passion? I...would normally laugh and then look really paiseh and pretend to think real hard and stall for more time and finally answer...'I think my passion is........aiya..not like you lar..so easy can tell...erm..actually i've been asking myself this question also...and hor...i think hor...' hehe...that's normally how i answer...and after beating around the bush a few times, i would mutter...s..cience...that's why i studied science..duh..and that's why i work in the medical/pharmaceutical field.
I don't talk about it because few people can actually understand what i say. i think it prolly overlaps with some nutrition talk as well cos most people think sugar will cause diabetes and do you know that diabetic patients are prone to heart attacks because the extra carbo that they consumed is not only turned into insulin but also turned into cholesterol which if too much will wrap itself around the inside of the blood vessels surrounding the hear and when plaque builds up till it almost choke the blood vessels that blood pressure will increase and if the plaque continues to build till it closes the blood vessels on the inside, that's when heart attack happens?
yeah...so...who would wanna talk like that to me right?maybe except the nutrionist and the marathon runner.by the way, this topic is found in the subject of Biochemistry. I used to think that i did real bad for chemistry but i like chemistry and i din't really like bio then i should take biochemistry cos it has half of this and that...i din't know it was a study of chemistry in living things. hahahahahha..ok..perhaps i got my definition wrong but its something like that lar...

and my other passion is music..well...not like i play really well or sing real awesome but can lar..no need to cut for albums but hope to cut for it someday...hahahahaha...
i'm not sure if i wrote this in my previous blog posts but i had neighbours who are musical. One night i heard some music outside my door and it sounded real good...jazzy a bit. so i opened my front door and lo and behold...i could hear music coming from my neighbours' house(just next to mine) i heard the piano and saxophone and someone was singing...then a few nights later i heard piano and bass and some singing as well...i was like wooooahhh! these people are so talented...and i was so tempted to walk to my neighbour's house and invite myself in...a friend suggested i should do that and tell them that they are really noisy(with a serious face) and then break into a smile and say 'But i like it=)' rofl...good pickup line eh...
i din't do that anyway...and that few occasions stirred up my heart and mind that it can be done!i can have gatherings like this in my house or someone's house and just jam...it didn't matter if we're too loud or too amateur cos...its time to learn!gosh...i will try that someday...get a few people over for dinner or tea and then start jamming...^_^
who knows...my neighbours might come over cos they enjoyed the music and then we can...preach the good news to them!(remember to do everything with God in mind) hahahaha...
yeah..so...this is one of my dreams for...now. besides owning a Honda Civic...hahahaha...

so cool man...i feel so excited now..i think my grieving time is about to end..eh..but i talk so much today...tomorrow i emo...-__-

I think there are...

....rats on my roof. They keep making the scratching sound...the sound is like amplified and i can hear it from my room tho i'm not near that part of their...nest. ewwww...feel like taking the insect aerosol and spray...but...i wonder if it will poison them and then they die there and then...sure got rotting smell...and then..aiyo..why i talk like so bimbo...
and then hor...cats in the city don't live like cats...they live like humans.

>_<

Its time to recharge my laptop battery...yay!

I just wanted to say:

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

and

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Foot pad...

I tried this Kinohimitsu-thingy which is a foot health pad...supposed to remove toxic from body by attracting the negative ions from your body. So the food pad is initially white in color and it will turn to gray,brown or yellowish brown kinda color to indicate the amount of toxin you have in your body...you stick the foot pad at the sole of your feet before you go to sleep.
I got really excited at the first night and the first thing i did when i woke up next day was to remove the patch to see what color it had be come. And ite looks greyish brolwn...hmm...i have no idtea what tthat means. And the niext night lalso the same color. and so is. the 3rd nite except it became a little bit lighter...so i'm thinking...perhaps this doesn't work on me after all...i still feel as sleepy and tired as ever.

my legs are having rashes now...gosh...its super itchy and i can't do anything to make it less itchy..tried putting on lotion and baby oil and it still doesn't work...the best so far is to scratch it and feel the burning sensation on my skin...but its bad method cos its creating scars on my legs if i scratched too hard...-__- sigh...why oh why...?when is it goin away for good!!??when will my healing come...?it should come now!!!
anyways...

Body shop had sale and i couldn't resist not buying the EDT that was on 50% off!that's only RM24 for 30ml. And its Body Shop wor...well..i wanted a new perfume anyway so...it came at a good time...

will post up some pictures soon...when i find my camera...hehehe

Blue strap...

arrrrggghhhh.....i watched as my blue bra strap went into the toilet bowl together with the water that i was using to wash my clothes...-__-

of all days...its the nicest blue bra strap i ever have and the only one i have that compliments my green top. aaaarrrgghhh...so frustrating! sakit hati alsooooo.....so much info kan...now u know what color bra i have -__-

gosh...i can't stand not doing anything on a weekend...people look forward to weekends but to me (at least for now), i dread Saturday...and i dread Mondays...not cos its Monday-so-i-have-to-go-work-thing but cos its dependent on how my Sundays have been. Maybe it just has been particularly difficult to deal with these past few months. Not that i'm not doing anything to make it good but i guess its a season in my life which i have to walk thru and overcome it and hopefully the sun will shine again...does anyone else feel like me too or i'm just weird?

I think i am an idealist and a perfectionist. But not to the extreme but of course more inclined towards this part than being a realist and a practicalist. There are times when it gets to me and i wished i could just let go of what i am holding onto. Expectations. I know i'm not perfect but pride says i am better than you, you and you...

Love bears all things, hopes all things...Love never fails...

On a happier note, last Friday my boss gave me a prtty good review regarding my performance at work. Despite the setbacks and difficulties at the first few months, it seems i have improved tremendously according to my boss and some unnamed(and unknown to me!) colleagues. All this happened after i have been praying for an increment. Hopefully God will give me more than i could ever think or asked for!hehehe...why not lar...we serve a big and faithful God mar...
hmmm...then i should also pray for more love when i look at ppl thru my eyes...
love...she's got a rotten attitude!!
love...aaaarrrrhh..i just want to slap that annoying boy!
love...how in the world they get their driviing license!
erm..and patience...

Either or...

having my dinner halfway...just din't have the appetite to eat...a few thoughts on my mind...

I am either blessed or am a blessing...

what i am trying to say is that in life, i am either a blessing to someone or i need to be blessed by someone who will be a blessing to me.hahaha...macam so philosophical kan...hahahaha...=D

some blogs are fun to read...some are just pure emo such that you must be mentally prepared when you read it..

am getting really random here...
i thank God for friends who are around when you need their company and encouragement and laughter...friends who just loves you just as you are and enjoys your company...i can be really bratty and they will just ignore me but later make fun of me...its nice being spoilt sometimes but also depends on who i am hanging out with la...if with another 'kid' then gosh...i'll feel left out..haha..
yeap..so...friends mean a lot to me...because they are like my extended family(if we're close enough)i hope i can be there for them when they need a friend...wow...macam lagu pernah dengar...

do you know that my neighbour teaches piano and i think he or she plays the saxophone too??so cool kan...must get some friends and just jam some jazzy stuff with them...then i can practice singing too..hahahahahhahahaa..ok...randommmmm...sounds like Sam W =P

Flying roaches and...

Yesterday was Good Friday, 10 April 2009. I just got home and it was a pretty good day for me...after 2 weeks of having my inbox jammed everyday cos of 80 emails daily asking questions for a simple thing and ppl replying with thanks or great or wonderful or please reply her(like duh!!!) and then just asking for clarification and confirmation....so, i'm very happy that normally in one hour, i receive 10-20 emails, but today for the whole day i only received 10 emails =D cos it was Good Friday in 90% of the offices worldwide and we poor West Malaysian don't have such holidays!!!=/ anyways, its a breather for me as i can take it easy and do my other work(which has been piling bcos of those emails and the horrible Excel sheets which must be updated daily and also my associate manager's work requests-__-)

Today we had a dept meeting...it finally dawned on me today why i din't pass my first interview in March 08 with this new company. I found out that the April 08 batch went to the Phillipines for training and my colleague who was at this training had to live with flying cockroaches in the class where they were being trained and also cockroaches crawling up the wall in their classroom...ewww...>_< Thank God i din't get selected to go in that April batch...if i did, i would have the most horrible time in my life >_<>
So for that, the 'reward' is.......i got to go to Taiwan! where everything is clean and i din't see a single roach crawling in the classroom^_^ even my hotel room is clean and air-conditioned.
God is so amazing kan...He already knows my need...even before i say it.
You're the BEST!!!^^

2009 Revo Penang...

Can't think of a funkier title..haha..
It was awesome!it was better than last year's..haha..sorry ler...compare like that...we had more food..chee cheong fun, char kuey teow, popiah, egg tarts, pau(which we din't eat cos we were fasting!), fruits, tom yam, chinese pancake, lobak...yummy...

The first nite on Friday was in FGA Air Itam, it rained before the event and people started to trickle in after 7.30pm. Started at 8pm and it was my first time singing in REVO! so i was pretty excited..but the crowd wasn't...as excited as i thought they would be. nevertheless, after Pastor preached the message, the last song was so rocking good that i was shocked to see some ppl on our team, rocking it too! i mean..hello..these people stand straight and don't move when they play in church service but went wild in REVO...ahaha..u know who you are.
As for me, i was enjoying myself...i jumped a lot so that they would jump as well but they din't really followwwwwww meeee...was awesome seeing the drummer drumming his best despite being in-knee-ed. hahahahaha...acoustic guitarist cum WL aka Joel V. kinda lost his voice after leading and once again during supper time, as it had always been in his tradition, his Char kuey teow din't come so he had to eat Chinese pancake with choc in it. Talking about food, tom yam was highly recommended in Telok Bayan but i din't have it cos i din't want to lose my voice completely. i absolutely loved the lo bak but there was none left-__-
char kuey teow was overrated and i'm never gonna have it there the NEXT time...
I met some of the girls which i got to know of last year and got to know new girls this year!woohoo!nice meeting them..they r so cute.( i mean personality wise)
I was encouraged to learn that the EPCC started their own dance crew (called Storm) and band (Point of Difference) bcos of Revo last year and they also wrote their own songs!very good...this is what Revo is for!!!for new things to be birthed out! not just a feel good session!
After lunch with the pastors on Sat, miss Eu was so kind to ask her mom to buy the famous chee cheong fun and char kuey teow for us!!!it was sooo nice!this is what you call Penang food!!!
After that, when we went to EPCC to get ready, their sandwich din't taste as good as last nite's(cos on Fri nite we were starving!cos we din't have a good lunch)

Overall, i thank God for the friends made and that were on this trip. my seat mates and surrounding seat mates and roomies. You guys and girls are really cool..talking about band tours and sharing your life stories. You made it really enjoyable for me and i enjoy serving with them=)
As for my sleeping buddies, thank God you girls stayed over or i would've dragged myself out of bed to church and prolly looked half dead during church service...surprisingly, i didn't feel tired at all and i looked like i had a good night sleep!well..looked almost.
indeed, the Holy Spirit is my helper. Last trip, i skipped the morning service while everyone on my team went to church!i felt so guilty...and i reasoned saying i don't have enough sleep and its ok to miss it cos got evening service also.
So, indeed, Holy Spirit is my helper..^_^

oh..i have another testimony, on Thurs morning i woke up at 5am with an excruciating pain in my stomach, such that you get cold sweat and feel nauseous and vomit a little. First few things on my mind was 'oh no!i wanna go Revo Penang!i can't miss it!'
After that, i was thinking if i should go to the hospital and then prayed in my heart, By His stripes i am healed!Kept repeating that..mom put some ointment on my tummy and eventually, i feel asleep as the pain subsides..saw the doctor in the morning and took the medication and then remmebered that on Fri we're supposed to fast breakfast together as a team. i was thinking perhaps i could just eat my medicine only and drink milo and basically i was thinking how not to fast. perhaps they would understand. but then i felt like...this is so faithless! i remember 1 person's testimony on how she was healed of gastric by choosing to fast. i wanted a testimony of my own too, but i was also afraid of wat my mom would say to me if i don't have my breakfast on Friday morning. So i choose to wake up like real last min such that my mom coudln't ask me if i had my breakfast and all. it worked!i rushed to go to church adn my mom din't manage to ask me at all..and basically on Friday, i fasted breakfast...i din't have any food to eat or milo to drink all the way till lunch time, praise God!i didn't have any burning sensation in my tummy or pain and i din't take may medication at all!Zilch...none.i continue to claim for complete healing...up till now also no pain and no gastric!^_^

Yesteryears...

it seemed so long ago...but it was only 3 months ago...that i revisited my campus in Adelaide.

As i walked the path from my old house (where my housemate still stays in after 5 long years i left), i could hear the silence...i see houses but there were no sign of human until i reached the main road where there were people eating and walking and cars passing by but i felt so alone.

Thank God i have a friend walking with me...
Then we reached our university and newly graduated graduates were around taking photos with their family members and friends near the river, on the foot bridge and near the lawn inside the campus...we walked past the library and i remember going there to study during my study week and i would be there from morning 9-10am till night at 8pm. After the library closed, i will walk to the student support services to take the bus home and i remember it will always be dark and cold when i sit in the bus ( but its actually a van that can seat 12-15 ppl) and sometimes wait for a long time just to reach home cos these buses send you straight to your doorstep. There was no warmth being in the library or in the bus. Maybe that's why i don't really like it when i walked past that place again...
I thought i would be so happy to see my university again and just walking past them i would be filled with happy memories but i didn't really remember the joy and as i looked back now, i wondered how did i survive those years...
One thing i clearly remember was the fellowship and gathering that i had with my friends in Adelaide. We would go to each other's house and cook up something delicious like carbonara (by Kris Ho), bak kut teh(by Bernard and John), curry chicken(Elaine), Red Rock deli(by Yenni-well she didn't cook it but she does cook something which i don't remember now.hahaha), Chinese food ( by Lok Ing and ChuChu and Wilson) and i think i contributed in making 'tong 'sui'. oh!and crabs too!(by Samuel).
Our favorite foods were the Vietnamese food on Addison Road, bubble tea in Central Market, chocolate croissant in Baker's Delight, sweet green grapes, cherries and persimmon in the Central Market, Kabana( a type of sausage) in Central Market, cheddar cheese, milk, juice, Boost juice(overrated but nice drink), chips! and chocolate and pies, chicken schnitzel in Paradise Cafe, choclate or coffee drink from the cafes, gelati from Cibo, dim sum from Dong something place...I think that's all i can remember for now.
Maybe that's why i put on weight!but then again, its cold over there so need the extra fats ^_^
ok...back to the point, friends make my stay in Adelaide wonderful. and we still keep in touch till now...having a good church helps as well...and overall, it was a good experience lar...
road trips and beaches are beautiful there...erm...my thoughts are not flowing anymore...its time to sleep...nite nite!

Truly Malaysian...

I thought i had seen all there are to see in Malaysia...types of people who are called Malaysian...
today i saw a glimpse of what most Malaysians would do...travel by airplane for a business trip.
I went to Kuantan by air today...it was a fast ride...and scariest by far...not sure if its because the pilot's name is Morgan...it could be Indian...or it could be...something else..
anyways...we went thru a turbulence..at first i was ok...bcos its normal to experience a bit of turbulence...but this was different....i could feel my heart drop twice...its like sitting in a roller coaster...you can feel it when the roller coaster suddenly drops down the track.That's how it felt like...and for once...i was asking myself if i was ready to be with the Lord !_!
My answer.........no!not yet!I haven't told my parents that i really care for them>_<
and then it dawned on me that dying REALLY does put life into perspective...

4 years ago...i was in kuantan for a 'sabbatical'..haha...yeah...funny that i'm using that word.and today...it felt like another 'sabbatical' that was unplanned..again after the storm. i saw the sunrise the other time..and today i saw sunset...i think...its time for a new beginning...well..i really hope so..cos i don't like running in circles...so ber-parable ar my post today...
seeeeeee..how truly malaysian i have become and experienced...

Little Miss Wise 3...

I feel like blogging but i don't know what to talk about...its raining outside now and its cooling...

My new place is almost done up and i can't wait to move in there...its got a fresh coat of paint and new automated door. No more getting down from the car to open the door...i love it...
i found out yesterday that the color of my room(the feature wall) is the same as the toilet walls.
-__- oh well...i din't want to put another coat of paint but today my dad told me that we can still paint a new color free of charge...i just need to pay for the paint not the labor...so niweis...i din't really bother about it and my mom decided to decide for me and chose something pink.>_<>

This coming week is gonna pretty busy for me but though i know its gonna be busy, God will somehow make it bearable for me...cos i experienced His...goodness towards me last Thurs. I was expecting a hectic day on Thurs and i was pretty distracted during vocal lesson on Wed nite as i wanted to go home quickly to read up on my project as the training is on Thurs early morning. But as i reached work early on Thurs, i found out that my training has been postponed to Friday...which gives me more time to read and breathe...wow...its amazing...and then the no. of doctors that i'm supposed to find has been reduced from 8 to 6. which is even better cos i only have 5 and i'm hoping for 3 more doctors. Its not easy...because of the timeline and the fact that this will be my 1st project and i have absolutely no experience in it.
To make matters worse, i started to fall sick and not only that...i have other problems to handle..if i call that a problem ie matters of the mind...sigh...
Though i want to excel in my career/work...ministry and church will always be 1st in my heart...i cannot bear the thought of doing all the work of the world and not of God as i believe God's work is everlasting...and brings more fulfilment. But that doesn't mean i want to do badly at work...i choose to do well at work to demonstrate that God is with me at work and when you have God, you are always at the winning side...hahaha...He will always work things out for me...just like last Thursday's...yes...i do encounter hard times but i choose to press on...sometimes i ask..why is it so hard?why can't You just make this all disappear? i know You can...but sometimes He doesn't...but i still press on...asking for strength and help...because to have Him is better than not having Him...
hmm...perhaps now i should also ask for blessing and 'mountains' to be removed...
tomorrow...expecting the busyness and yet at the same time for His grace and mercy...
His mercies are new every morning...
i'm thankful to be called His Child...

Little Miss Wise 2...

ah...if YOU detailed minded people noticed, i always put 3 dots to my title...and also at the end of my so called end of sentence. like this ... hahaha...

yeah..just wanted to point that out...tmr am going to choose paint colours for the new place..gosh...i'm gonna make it entirely my own idea if possible but its really tiring...and just thinking about the colours is enough to make me tired.

i wanted warm colours but not yellow and orange...i hate purple...blue reminds me of toilet...red is too bold...white is ok...but not for walls...for ceiling is fine. So i wanted brown, pink, green and grey and beige...its difficult to coordinate because we dun wan to waste so much paint...
