Selamat pagi, Cikgu!

I can still remember those days, when I was in Standard 2, how we adored our teachers. My friends and I will get up early to get to school. Waiting in the hall patiently to detect our class teacher’s red Kancil strove into the parking lot. We rushed like a swarm of bees to open the door for her. Each offering themselves to just carry her books into the teacher’s room. Able to carry the teacher’s bag was a self-actualization during that time. Those were unable to carry her bag walked out with such disappointment and agony. Teachers, in those times are like ‘Superstars’, with little paparazzi asking for autographs.

Furthermore, we bowed our heads and wished our teachers, ‘Selamat sejahtera, cikgu’ each time we past them by. How we treat our teachers with such respect and dignity. We dig a big hole in our parents’ pockets, each wanting to give their best present to their teachers.

Well, things change as we get older, especially in secondary years. Yes, we do respect our teachers but not to that extend of queuing up to carry her bag. We got a little more, innovative, putting our creativity in nicknaming our teachers. We giggled at their jokes and laughed hysterically when the teachers had to play games during Sports Day.

As I was recalling my memories, I am thankful to have noble teachers who go beyond their job specification which is teaching. They educate us with love, raising us up to be man and woman of integrity. Thank you, for every ‘rotan marks’ on our hands, for every nagging in assembly hall and for the knowledge and inspiration you gave. 

Music

I really adored and admired musicians. Either they are pressing the ivory-coloured of piano keys, strumming the strings of an accoustic guitar or swaying the bow against the violin's strings. The pleasure of listening to music and playing an instrument itself is totally different. Playing an instrument captures one's inner soul and emotions. Playing an instrument makes your senses go crazy. Getting to touch the texture of the smooth, wooden violin. You have the authority in placing pressure to produce louder notes or vice versa. You get to experience the music flowing right throught that thing you are holding into your ear drums and penetrate gently to your soul.

My biggest regret is not pursuing music. I still remembered that day, when my dad asked me, "Carol, do you want to learn to learn piano?". I declined immediately, giving an excuse that looking into a book of 'tauges' makes me dizzy as in music notes. I dread practices, playing the same song again and again and lastly piano exam. Thanks to my friends who keeps complaining about 'their encounter' with the ang moh piano examiner. It literally make my knees turned jelly.

It's my dream to be able to play an instrument. By the way, does castanets counted as a music instuments?? cause yeah, I am talented in castanets. Dream come true. lol :)

Words of Wisdom

- Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.

 

- Do you know why a Car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rearview Mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. Look Ahead and Move on.

- Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.

- All things in life are temporary. If it is going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If it is going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either.

- Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!

- Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!

 

- When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

- A blind person once asked: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" The reply: "Yes, losing your vision!"

- When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

- WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES, it takes away todays' PEACE.

Little Miss Nyonya

Let's start by giving you a little bit of my history. Well, my dad is a pure Cantonese man while my mum is a pure Peranakan lady, which subsequently make me half-Nyonya known as 'Baba Celup'.

Food

Nyonyas are famous for their delectable cuisine, of course. Ranging from kuihs to dishes. The desserts especially are mouth-watering. The sweetness that tantalise your taste buds. Was wondering what happened to the 'great cook' genes which I did not inherit. My grandma cooks well, my aunt cooks super well, my mum cooks okay. Well, I guess not enough 'great cook' genes to be distributed to me. I am really a loser when it comes to cooking. I just can't get the taste combination right. I can't estimate how long can the chicken or fish be cooked. But there's one position I can triumph. I can eat ! Yeah..

Curry chicken

 

Bubur cha cha

 

PS: I need these pictures to inspire and motivate me to learn cooking..

God, I shall rejoice in trials. It opens my eyes to new perspective and above all, it causes me to fall in love with You all over again.

My favourites !!

Chicken pox

Getting chicken pox at the age of 21 is an experience which definitely requires a posting in my blog. Most of my friends have gotten chicken pox during their childhood. I am the exception. I have been always wondering.. "When is my turn??" "How come mine so late?" I chuckled to myself, it must have gotten lost somewhere..

The symptoms hit me on the very first day. I had bad migraine, body ache and slight fever. All I could do was lied on the bed and sleep the whole day. I can't even move my legs to walk. Tired and weak.

I wanted a good rest,  hoping that I would get better the next day for uni. Woke up in shock when I noticed that annoying red dots all over my neck and shoulders. I shrieked, "Oh, not Chicken pox!". Well, you see, I'm in the midst of preparing for my final exams. Another part of me whispered, "Come on, it might be rashes or some kind of allergy". Well, I'm prone to allergies. Insect and bees just love me..

By the evening, the spots gets more, some sprinkle over my face and my body. That when I decided that I have to face the truth. It might be chicken pox. Went to the doctor for confirmation. And Yes it is, the day has come when I finally had my chicken pox. Filled with excitement and thrill. My friends thought I was crazy for being rejoicing over chicken pox. Seriously, Thank God for His peace and comfort.

Rushed back to Muar. I was quarantined as my dear sis hadn't had one. Well, I was enjoying every moment of it being pampered, being the 'chicken pox princess' at home. Well, I had a good excuse for being one. Food and water is being served.lol

The particular night was a disaster. My whole body was hot. Literally, you can feel your body is burning with fire, signifying more spots is mushrooming its way out. I was tossing all over, feeling uncomfortable being hot and the next minute cold. It was definitely a long night. I couldn't sleep. It was later, when I decided to turn on Hillsong worship. I felt much more serene and relax.

We Chinese have a way of making people who are unwell even more miserable. The worst of all is the long list of food that I am told to abstain. No soya sauce because that will cause the scars to darken. No chicken, fish, prawns, crabs which are considered toxins that may affect the spots to be itchy. And then there is the no oily food for heatiness. Noodles, ABC soups and vege has been on menu list for one week.

Felt horrible but I know God is watching over me.. :)

That's when I, I, I look at you.

When I look at you,
I see forgiveness,
I see the truth.


You love me for who I am,
Like the stars hold the moon,
Right there where they belong.
and I know im not alone.

This song somehow reminded me of our Abba Father's great and unconditional love for his children on earth. For the times, when life gets tough, You are always there for me during my tears and joy. Walking hand in hand with me through this amazing journey. Couldn't imagine life without You, carrying me through of all the trials I face. It is you that keeps me going, to live victoriously and giving You all the praise and glory.

A Gifted Classical Pianist - Maksim Mrvica

No words can articulate how spectacular Maksim is.

In a grand auditorium, when the audience stood still to appreciate this gifted pianist, the music that touches your heart as though magic is in the air. The tune fills the congregation with serenity, peace and tranquility. The harmonious melody dissolved slowly in the hearts of many. His movement aligned with the rhythm he plays.

His talent hypnotized the nation. Making a mark in instrumental music history. Making  music to something so beautiful, another level of admiration and wonder. The harmonious melody. The rhythm. The tempo accurateness. The pressure as he pressed the keys gently. The dynamics. The texture.

He has a number of masterpiece that I can live without and brightens my day! His music blows me away to somewhere in time. Something so beautiful and beyond words. Exodus. Somewhere in Time. Claudine.

I adore the passion and the enthusiasm he has for something he dreams. MUSIC.

♫ "When The Tears Fall" - Tim Hughes ♫

When the Tears Falls

I've had questions without answers
I've known sorrow, I have known pain
But there's one thing, that I cling to
You are faithful, Jesus You're true

 In the lone hour of my sorrow
Through the darkest night of my soul
You surround me and sustain me
My Defender forevermore


When the laughter fails to comfort
When my heart aches, Lord are you there
When confusion's all around me
And the darkness my closest friend


CHORUS:
When hope is lost, I'll call You Saviour
When pain surrounds, I'll call You Healer
When silence falls, You'll be the song
Within my heart


BRIDGE:
I will praise You
I will praise You
When the tears fall
Still I will sing to You
I will praise You
I will praise You
Jesus praise You
Through the suffering
Still I will sing to You


I miss you. Every little things remind me of you. The pathway we walk. the food we eat. your idiosyncrasies. Your bad habits.youth ministry.

God's Rainbow

God's Rainbow

Rainbows appear after mighty storms,
When things look their very worst,
Just when the skies are darkest gray,
Look for the rainbow first. 

The rainbow is a sign of God's promise, 
That He will guide us through any storm, 
That He will see us through all our troubles, 
No matter what their form. 


When you feel battered by life's storms, 
And you are filled with doubt and dismay; 
Just remember God's rainbow is coming - 
It's only a prayer away. 

- Author Unknown 

The sun promises a brighter day yet sometimes it fails...
But God promises a beautiful life and He never fails...

Pain

I am a loser when it comes to pain. I can't tolerate pain well. You'll find me running around for plaster for my paper cut. 

I finally understood, 

the pain of having cuts on your flesh

is nothing compared to

the pain of having a cut on your heart. 

That excruciating pain. When I see them lying at that wooden box. When I see that wooden box being lowered to the ground. It breaks my heart, for not able to tell you 'Thank you' for being my friend'. For not accomplishing our plans to have our birthdays and backpacking together..

Oh God, I need You to be that Plaster, to heal my wounded heart. 

No one can touch my heart like You do.. 
I'm learning to cherish everyone You sent to my life, God. 

I'm gonna live my life to the fullest for You, my Master.

Dear Uncle Roland, Jacinth, Jelyn

Uncle Roland has been a great blessing to the young generation. He has raised 'Leaders of Tomorrow' and faithful man and woman of God who live their lives for Jesus Christ. Scholars are blessed with full scholarships because of His fervent prayer and guidance. He is like the candle that shines in the dark, giving hope and confidence to students to challenge their abilities in performing outstandingly. He has assisted me in obtaining my scholarship. I remembered how he was so anxious in knowing everyone's results, his concern for each youth to excel best inn their academics. Truly, he has been an inspiration to us all. He's strict yet soft-spoken in his own special ways. Uncle Roland, I truly salute you, for being a Man of God's destiny, a great father, a remarkable teacher, a faithful friend...

Jacinth, we are often so passionate about Delima in Convent. How we BOOooo to the other teams.. Your quiet and sweet in your own ways. The last time we met was when Joash, you and I were going round KL to get a replacement of your faulty Digi modem. I remembered how adoringly you and your brother were, that teasing and giggling here and there. I know you are in love with Korean guys.. hee hee.. 

Jelyn, you're so sweet and gentle. I was hoping hard that you could join Delima, so we could have our Delima girls conquering the youth. I remembered at Pastor Betty farewell, whereby we had a ball match. "Hey girl, you're really a sportswoman". You are so petite, but you put the guys to shame that night with your accurate throwing skills to the tree and the stamina you had. Both of you are just so sweet, and your contagious smile that brightened the day. 

Till we meet again, in Heaven along with our Heavenly Dad!! ;)

Dear Joash,

Everyone was grief-strickened and saddened by your death, Uncle Roland, Jacinth and Jelyn plus your Grandma. I guessed Heaven is having shortage of angels, that's why God is recruiting the best of all and whom he deeply loves.

You had been a supportive brother in Christ, a great friend.

I remember the 'Great Job' pat you gave on my back each time I did well in drama sketch for Christmas and worship.I remembered serving together in Christ Ignitors. From Chinese New Year fund raising, Christmas Celebration, mothers day celebration... etc

I remember how you and Kevin used to drop by at Music Valley to disrupt my work and disturb the girls.

I remember you giving me weird nicknames like 'Elephant' and 'Aunty Carol' or 'High Distinction'. Though I called you 'Tortoise' for eating super super slow and 'High High High Distinction' for being so brilliant.

I admire how patient you are towards the weak. How you love them..

I will also remember your big, generous heart. You insisted on paying everytime, until that day I have to snatch your wallet to stuff money inside which left the waiter staring at us.

I will remember your optimism in everything. When we got lost in Malacca before Family camp, I was literally panicking while you are appreciating Malacca scenery at night.

I remember how I complaint about you wearing the red Ah Pek shirt.

I remember you said my masterpiece was the nicest!!

I  remember you for keep forcing me to eat. You made me gorged down brownies, cakes, breads, desserts. Not fair! You make your gf so slim, yet you make me fat!!

You are a horrible shopper, ending up buying rotten stuff like the Chinese New Year oranges, the marigold yogurt drink, end up gotten nagged by me.

You carry joy with you wherever you go. Your million-dollar smile.Your joke of the year. Your 'cheekiness'.You always Stand out from photographs.

You are my 'Makan' buddy and my 'escort' to go back to Muar.

You left me blur, searching for words in the dictionary each time you blast out your bombastic vocabulary.

You always put others first and God above all.

You will be deeply missed. I gonna bring more friends to Heaven to meet my Buddy, which is You!

I believe you are rejoicing with God and your family up there. Jamming with the best musical instrument, singing praise to God, with the angels as your choir. Feasting at His Table with a large spread of food. You will never missed any ball while playing tennis, because you have wings to fly as high to catch it. I'm grateful to God that I get to meet a great friend like you for 21 percent of your 23 years.

PS: I bet you are smiling away in Heaven, with everyone praising you... hee hee =)

That's the way, Malaysia!

I spend the last few days, stoning in front of the TV for the most anticipating Thomas Cup. The living room was my stadium, the beating of my heart were the drums and the pillows were the other spectators. It was a breakdown, a grief-strickening moment when Japan slammed down our team with 3-2, especially our intense desire of repeating the historic victory back in 1992. The players were obviously drained out of stress during the horrendous battle.

But boy!, they did an outstanding performance yesterday, battling against Denmark by 3-2. The team appeared to be 'Stronger than Yesterday' despite of the unexpected failure. Thanks to our world’s player, LCW not forgetting KKT and TBH in building the victory momentum to blaze the fighting spirit. The fighting spirit was so evident. Even though, WCH and the other double players were at the losing end, they fought to the very end. ‘To give up’ was never a solution. Hafiz is back in the game, sprinting as the Hero of the sweet victory, placing Malaysia in semi-finals.

A great game, I would say.

Well, Malaysia is grinding our weapons for the next combat, setting up a tough clash with the reigning champion China. Based on Thomas Cup 1998 Jakarta, China won 3-2. Lin Dan was shocked by LCH after LCH won in straight game.

We shall see. China or Malaysia??

I’m crazily cheering for Malaysia... Doesn’t matter win or lose; it is about believing in the nation you’re living in.

What is happiness??

One day, the young lion asked his mom: "Mom, where is the happiness?"
Mom replied: "It's on your tail."


So the young lion keeps on chasing after his tail. But after a whole day of trying, he failed to get the happiness that was on his tail.


Then he told his mom about this, his mom smiled and said: "Son, you don't really need to chase after your happiness, as long as you keep going and moving forward, your happiness will always be with you."

I am unconditionally and irrevocably in love with it

I stepped into the library, day-in and day-out.

I checked through online the status of that particular book since yesterday.

I have been browsing through the library shelves meticulously, in case I missed out that black-printed book.

I read the book that I was anticipating in an open-book website.

I have never felt this way before towards any other books.

I could not put the book down for a minute, I literally eat with it, sleep with it, listening to lectures with it..It is therefore, a Confession,

that I'm officially obsessed with it..

I am
unconditionally,
irrevocably
in love
with
a fictional book.
Twilight Saga

Hemophobia

During childhood times, I was like a Magnet welcoming accidents ranging from bleeding, wounds, swollen and ext. Blood to me was nothing. But a recent activity has brought me to discover my weakness of fearing bloods. It is called Hemophobia (hee-mo-fo-bee-ya).

My uni was having this Blood Donation Drive in the concourse. Everyone was so exhilarated, talking over about the drive, their first ever experience donating blood and the ‘theoretical factors’ of an eligible donor. I, myself was keyed up about the drive in wanting to contribute something to the society.

As I was walking with my group of boisterous friends towards the drive, deep inside I felt something was wrong, I mean something went wrong. I really don’t feel good. From afar, one glance of that red thick, drops dribbling into that transparent plastic packet has triggered my body entire system. My legs turned jelly out of a sudden. The butterflies in my tummy was flying and racing in full speed restlessly. My head felt dizzy when the smell of rust and salt blended with a strong smell of sterilized clinical equipment wafted through my nostrils. I was clutching my friend tight as the nurse effortlessly inserted the needle right through the skin. The sight of the blood drive awakens my inner voice. “Can you do it, Carol?” it whispered. A ray of thoughts ran through my mind. I was visualizing myself sitting on the chair, squashing the ball to assist the blood flow. Blood flowing out of my veins into the tube and into the transparent plastic packet. “Come out, you can do it!”

My rational thoughts wrestled with my emotions, my little courage. My friends were filling the forms. For me, I can’t even hold the pen straight as my hands were literally shaking. Finally, I chickened Out!! Cowardice, I told myself. Many threw up and had fainting spells after donating. Since I was not, I was the ‘Nurse of the Day’, providing tissues and hot drinks.

I really wanted to donate, but I guessed that day was not the right time. I shall donate once I’m ready overcoming that fear, fear of blood.

PS: Do donate as it benefits the donor and the recipient. =) cheers

Man's Best Friend

I have been desiring for a pet, especially a puppy. A friend who stays true and faithful and doesn’t judge for who you are.

One day, my sister and I had pluck our 'mustard seed courage' to ask my dad. "Dad, why not we have a puppy? It can look after our home, and we have someone to play with.." both of us pleaded with our adorable puppy eyes. But in vain, dad never agreed. He answered jokingly, “You both can't even take care of yourselves, yet you want a dog." From that day onwards, we never really bothered to ask him about having a dog. The definite answer will be the 'BIG NO'.

Dad has a pet dog before, during his ‘bachelorhood’ times. He had a sturdy bull dog named ‘Bronco’. His love for his beloved friend was beyond words. To an extent, my dad even washed Bronco’s feet under running water after he brought Bronco for a walk. One even suggested to my dad, why not get Bronco a walking shoes. Bronco was a dog who remains faithful to his Master. Bronco was there during the ups and downs of life. He’s worth more than just a pet; he was part of the family. However, Bronco left the world due to heart failure.

Somehow, pets do have ‘emotional intelligence’. They understood their master’s emotions of sorrow and joy. The true story of a dog, Hachiko in Tokyo who waited for his Master till he fall dead on the steps of the station remains a legend till today. It never fails to bring tears to my eyes every time I read the legend again and again.

Fatal Trilogy

These 3 things never escape from my life. They will always pay a visit after I just completed my final assignment of the semester, no matter how much I loathe them. These 3 horrible MONSTERS that have been haunting my happy life are mouth ulcers, sore throat and flu.

MONSTER 1: MOUTH ULCER
Mouth ulcers are my monthly habitual activity. The more I tried to deter it by drinking tones of water plus avoiding fried food, the more it multiplied like mushrooms after the rain. The strange part was every time my niece has ulcers, the next thing I knew was me gotten affected. Just can’t tolerate that annoying white spots with red outline on your lips, gums or even tongue.

HERO: ORAL AID
I would recommend for prone ulcers victims like me to use Oral Aid which is super effective. It makes me burst to tears after applying, but has a faster healing effect compare to others.

MONSTER 2: SORE THROAT
You wake up on that beautiful morning, and the next thing you realized is that burning sensation in your throat. You took a big gulp of water and it hurts. ARGH!!! I can’t resist eating, as usual. However, sore throat did and amazing job of killing my appetite. Worst of all, my angelic voice has transformed to an ugly toad, croaking away desperately in its low, deep voice. I find it hard to accomplish my potential in eating and chatting. The pain is just unbearable.

HERO: STRESPILS (ops I forget my hero’s name)

MONSTER 3: FLU
Your nose literally has become the faulty pipe that overflows. You can’t sleep efficiently because your nose is stuck. Difficult to breathe. Hard to concentrate as you’ll be holding tissue all the time as a stopper on your nose. Even worst, even the World’s Best Chef’s signature dish seems bland and unappetizing. Cause you lost your taste buds.

HERO: CLARINASE
Clarinase is highly effective. One tablet is enough to say BYE BYE~~ flu. However, it depends on the strength of your army, your immune system.

Please consult a doctor for prescription.

Of this and that

Tuesday, 30 March 2010, 4.15 pm marked one of the most important date in history.

Officially my assignment is over. I can't really explain this sentimental feeling. How I survived through the storms of assignment and a thunder of tests.. Thank God for His strength and wisdom..

After all, being a perfectionist explains it all. How I scrutinized each assignment line by line leaving my group mates breathless and lost for words. This is because I always see myself as a future marketer instead of a student.

I’m lost entering to the second year of degree as I wasn’t exposed to their “rules and guidelines”. It was definitely time to brush up and move on.

I have one week time to ~~~FINALS~~~. I’m tuning in to nerd.fm. God bless me.. =)

A Quest for Freedom and Women' Rights

The news of a snatch-theft victim who was in coma due to her serious head injuries spread across the front-pages of newspapers. Posters of the missing child who was been raped been pasted all over the public places. Housewives with bruises and cuts murdered their husband out of revenge and resentment.

It was heart-wrecking to see how many women are been killed because of this act of stupidity. An act which is brainless, brutal and critically heartless. Only one expression could be conveyed, worst than an animal. It is just, such a waste to see these capable women lives been taken away by irresponsible people who can’t think sensibly.

Needless to say, these ‘woman targeting crimes’ has to be solved immediately before it gets out of hand. Perhaps, the hands of the snatch thief should be chopped to teach an invaluable lesson which takes suffering as a ransom.

We don’t want to live in fear, clutching pepper spray tightly every night we walk that lonely street, not forgetting looking behind for countless times. We don’t want to be worried of carrying our branded hand bags around. We don’t want to be the ‘punching bag’ to release your dissatisfaction or anger. We don’t want to be paranoid of the dark parking lot.

I'll better stop before the feminism spirit sweeps me away.

Anyway,
We QUEST for FREEDOM and WOMEN RIGHTS against rape, snatch theft and domestic violence.

Twilight

I have friends watching Twilight for 7 times in the cinema. First impression, are they dumb or what?

And now, I'm a victim myself. The dumb one. Watching Twilight for the 3rd time, hoping to watch it again and again.. Had the addiction spell sip to my mind? I'm hynotised by Twilight now and the scenes keeps running in my head. How he laid down his life for his true love, Bella. How he gazes into her eyes.. How a lion fell in love with the lamb. Awww, how sweet!!

I simply love the dialogue, simple yet sweet and romantic, pretty lame at times. But I just love it. Credits to the author and screen writer. My sis can't remember her History and Geography facts but she can memorise every dialogue lines in Twilight? Incredible huh??

I'm desperate to watch New Moon. Even googled it to read it's synopsis.

Some pictures to drive you mad.. hee hee

Twilight, I'm falling for you! ;)

Chinese New Year

Great!! ;P Chinese New Year holiday is over and I haven't even touch my homework.. okay, let's stop complaining about homework and focus more on CNY..

Great news for The Year of Tiger is that I found out the I had an increase in my ang pow money. This signifies that the economy is picking up and is no longer facing inflation. * Hee Hee* I predicted my ang pow would have an increment in the year of 2011.

People dressed to kill during the first day of New Year but for me, I just took pleasure in my comfortable home attire, short pants and torn clothes and slippers!! Went to my uncle place for lunch. My aunt is a good cook. Did I said good?? She is remarkably great... I always perceived that whatever food she touches will turn out to be delectable delicious. She cooks, she bakes but she doesn't bangs.. haha (reminds me Ricky Martin's songs).

Not forgetting, the movie that my cousins and I were anticipating ,Twilight was shown on the first day. It's chaotic. We were all in the living room. Had to increase the volume as I can't hear my adorable and debonair Edward speaking with aunties munching their cookies and getting excited about the topic their talking. Can you imagine the effects after not meeting in a year?? Lotsa things to talk from A to Z

Went back to KL on the second day to visit my dad's side. Cause my mum's side were mostly GIRLS, it was horrifying to see how boys age 1 to 6 play their games. Me being quite protective (girls are just gentle), it freaks me out when I saw them swinging the golf stick toy around and up and down, playing with scissors... ARgh I kept shrieking, "Oh my gosh, so dangerous; CAREFUL; later fall down... haha BOYS.. " Boys are like that la", mentioned my cousins.

Worst of all, I had the experience looking how playful and innocent they are, running around the house with their briefs, giggling away. I wanted to take a video of them to present to everyone on their wedding day but my camera battery was flat.. What a waste!!!

Have a R O A R ing New Year!!

One word from God is enough

These few days, life was hectic, I meant crazy. So many things to do yet so little time.

I was kind of busy with loans, my scholarships, tests, and assignments piling up as days passes by. So many things to think about with my little mind. My planner was filled with things to be completed and DEADLINES.. You should know how much I 'admire' deadlines..

As I was reading the Daily Bread, the title for the days scripture highlighted

Hope does not disappoint.. Romans 5:5

And that was the statement I needed. I could feel my anxieties were gone, as I kept that verse in my heart. It reminded me of my past, when I prayed and hoped for something so hard. God always puts my impossible dream to reality.

It just takes ONE word for God to change ones lives. The word has the ultimate power to inspire and strengthen you.

For me, that 4 words was more than enough. Immediately I smiled to my disbelief. This is amazing, isn't it??

Coffee

Yesterday marks the Big day for Hokkien people to celebrate their New Year. Needless to say, the endless fireworks and crackers that blasted in the dark sky has been deafening my ears. I covered my ears with my comfy pillows and yet the sound doesn't seem to disappear. Hehe after all is still Chinese New Year. My fiction book is actually my sleeping pills, makes me sleepy. However, History books are more effective in terms of making me drowzy compared to fiction books.

As I was sleeping like there's no tomorrow, the morning prayers breaks the silence of that beautiful morning. My Personal Clock. My eyes was big-opened, staring at the ceiling with the fan twirling. Woke up at 6.15 am because of my 'favourite' 8 am class..

At 10.48 am, what I need is just C-o-f-f-e-e, my password to stay awake cause I'll be having classes till 4 pm. Well, I still didn't get to master the skill sleeping with your eyes open yet.

P/s : I'm having '8am class' phobia. Traffic jam in Summit is the culprit..

A little bit of Love and care..

Feeling bored on the weekends? Sick of the mundane activities your doing all the while. Why not have a change..

Head on to the nearest orphanage home or get involved in charity..

Last Christmas, my team mates and I organised a Christmas Party for the shelter home. We really had a great time, jumping around like an over-grown baby.

Most important, what these little kids need is a bit of love and care. It's an amazing feeling to see the joy on their faces when you cuddled and played along with them. It felt great to see that your little deeds can actually transform or inspire one's life.

The little thing you do, can brighten their day and make life more meaningful!

Sweet Dreams VS Nightmares

Ever experience waking up in the middle of the night, with your heartbeat racing to its maximum pace, sweats accumulating on your forehead and suddenly you felt your blood pressure drop tremendously. You pinched yourself, and murmured “Thank God, it’s just a dream”…

or

The dazzling morning sunlight beams into your room window. The clock strikes 11 am, your body frantically says it's time to wake up and start the day. But your mind force was so determine to continue dreaming. The dream exit is about to close up, but you sprint into the Dreamland again. And yeah, you make it!

Even to this age, I still have nightmares of failing in my SPM exam. I rushed in to the exam hall with my hairs uncombed, did I mentioned with my ‘minnie mouse’ pyjamas. So embarrassing and worst of all, I was not able to take the exam for I was 30 minutes too late.

The moral lesson: Whenever I’m having my pathetic 8 am exam, (hated it badly especially when it rains), I would wake up 3 hours earlier, just to make sure, I’m on time. I would rush home after the exam, to study the next subject which is how to sleep. haha

My unforgettable dream was in a woods, along a pathway, holding hands with this guy. Only the two of us were just strolling along the forest. The smell of the refreshing air in the forest, birds chirping in its melody and flowers dancing gently to the melody. I felt the warmth in his hands, something I have never felt before. His hair was neatly cut behind, wearing a white top with broad shoulders. As I was about to gaze his beautiful face, the reality pulled me out of my dream.

“No, what’s happening?” I wondered. I closed my eyes and focused on the dream again. “I gotta see his face, I gotta see his face,” I chanted.

Finally, back to the dream again. I was glad he was still there. As he was turning to me, my heart was bumping faster than ever before, he just disappeared. Time flies so swiftly. I was still speechless, by then.

Here I am, awake with the dream, still fresh in my mind. And gosh, how disappointing! I’m just a step away to have a foresight of my Mr. Right. But at least, I got a clue. Neat hair cut, broad shoulders, white top.
