I believe

I had my parents with me last weekend. Despite the busy schedule, i was really glad i have both my dad and my mum bringing me around for some fun. Its been too long. Had breakfast at Delifrance. Aaah, how i wish i can have pastries for breakfast every morning together with a hot cup of cappuccino!such a bliss!

=)

my dad

my mummy

strawberries never tasted so good.

Brought my heavy baby all the way to midvalley only to realise that I left my laptop charger at home. Silly me. So how? no choice la,still have to do assignment while my parents went and watch ‘Where got ghosts’. So sweet. So i hand written all my work and it feels like high school all over again. Good thing I had alot of things done.

Then we went to Pantai Seafood to have dinner with dad’s good friend again. This restaurant is hidden somewhere in BU. We had seafood and wine and er, lots of lots of pork. Never seen so much pork or in this case, eaten so much pork in my entire life. eeeuw the smell. =(

dumc

camera batt died. had to use my sony

Couldnt commit myself to sing for choir for two days. So i sang with the team only on sunday. Each time i am up on the stage, i am always ready for God to speak to me. Be it singing or dancing. True enough, that  morning, God impressed in my heart, something that I’ve been struggling to do, something that has grieved both myself and Him.

argh, I’ve been trying to avoid this because i knew i will never convince myself that the other person deserves it. He never will but then. . .

My Grace is enough. So much more than you can ask for.

I was stunned. I couldn’t move for a moment and then i realise perhaps this is the last thing I’m required to do. Suddenly i felt I was ready, emotionally and mentally for this. I know I have to do this. This is the mountain that I am going to ask God to help me to move that morning.

And all i need to do is, is to believe.

I believe I will be fine.

I  believe that God can turn the situation around.

I believe I can do all things in Him who gives me the strength.

I believe in Him.

In the midst of darkness,praise God and proclaim your faith and God’s power, it may not make a difference yet in the phsyical world, but something is changing in the spiritual realm. Enthrone God back into the situation.

I know this time, it is for real.

Again, I can do all things in Him who gives me the strength.

Started talking to a friend again. Really missed talking to him. Good thing he got himself injured, if not i wouldn’t make the first move.

Also, to another friend, i really appreciate the weird friendship that we have, tonight without you realising, you made me appreciate my downfall.

Another round of korean

Parents were here for the weekend.  Also because my bro is back from india  for a week to attend some meetings.  In addition, dad had a dinner get-together with his friends over the weekend. I kinda miss them so its good that they make a trip up. Nevertheless,  it was awesome to have the family together for awhile. (miss lying in my bro’s hotel room and make everyone watch CSI with me!heeehee!~)

Anyway last saturday night we met up with dads friend in hartamas. We ate at this humble looking restaurant called Daorae ( and i started singing the doraemon theme song. oops sorry, its totally irrelevant. Thats japaanese).

…manage to catch ManU game with arsenal there (darn they won the cup), food was good, service was bad, companys good, and uncle lee king’s wife, aunty celine gave me a CD (lost of emo songs by this Indonesian singer Rossa.  Aurelia. You’ll like it:P)

anyway here are some photos. . .

I think i had enough of korean food to last me a lifetime.eergh. . .

…but we are going to gardens for Shushi tomorrow! haha, to celebrate Jovy’ and her completion of year1 in UWE.  Good job girl!

Tis is the restaurant. Situated in Hartamas and was full of koreans that night. It was as if we were in korea itself =P

Daddy's friends. Loud people including my dad.

Mum and dad. She was not too thrilled that she had to take in beef. haha but anyway, i ordered chicken for the both of us =)

Ordering lots of lots of food. . .oh theres aunty celine.

We had some red wine from france. Its called 'Chateau la grace dieu des prieurs' ; Saint Emillion grand cru

. . . yeah, more food. . .

It was a good night!

not bad, what my sony can do =P

I am so dead this weekend. Really, becareful what you wish for, because you might just get it.

“I’m counting on, i am counting on GOd. . .I’m counting on, counting on God”

sigh. . .

Anyway, assignment craze is officially OVER!

♥

Embrace the braces?

aaargh, i need to decide! i need to decide! I am quite a decisive person i think. Thats why i dont really go through much tedious decision-making processes because i may just be  jumping right into the first thing that came into my mind thinking that i’ve already given much thought about it. Thats probably why i always ended up buying too many dresses that i don’t need or i forgot that i owned them. oh, ignore what i just said.

So anyway, these has no relevance at all, a series of photos of what i did for the past few months.

The siblings and their spouses (except me!). They came back for a short one month.

Paul's birthday. Cheesecake from Shangri-la. Its the best.awesome.

A night out with friends from uni. (from left: joanna, kyeli, myself, Viv and Aileen)

Dance workshop went well! Audition next week for the new dancers. So excited for them =)

evie= shopping, movies, church, fun!

and finally a dose of sitiawan =)

also, our God is great! everything for His glory =)

p/s: will i be able to survive the pain when i put on the braces?

p/ss: I miss taking photos =(

p/sss: Liverpool may need some luck tonight!

oh gosh i am so nervous.

♥

P.s I love you

Looking through my external hard disk when I was supposed to be studying for my upcoming test next week. I was deleting some movies from my folder and i stumbled upon ‘P.s I Love you’. I used to think this show wasn’t up to what i have expected also because I decided that the novel was a better preference.  Maybe its the casting. I thought Hillary Swank wasn’t suitable to be Holly Kennedy as she gives a very deep ‘independent, woman-on-top’ feel instead, than to be a frail wife whose husband has succumb to brain tumor, died and she had to start living her own life through a series of letters her dead husband wrote before he goes, until she finally  abandon her fears of falling in love. Before i knew it, I gave this movie another shot as i happily grab my laptop, went to the bed and called it a night. (To be honest, I never really did any work just now anyway).

I paid attention to every single detail in this movie from the moment I click ‘play’. No, this time I never fast forward or anything. I actually enjoyed each moment of the movie until the credit started rolling. I don’t remember crying during the show the last time i watched it, but tonight, it was extremely hard for me to contain the tears.

Simple.

I could not derive any interest nor relate to this movie the first time I watched it because I never understood. Things make more sense now =)

Ah, I am such sucker for romance.

No way I am going to study in the weekend when I am serving, dance workshop and also parents are in KL again to send my sister off. That’s right; she is heading back to Aus after a month of bumming here in Malaysia. Sarah wouldn’t want to go back as much as we want her to stay. But oh well, everything has its timing. I will see her very soon I know =)

. . . Yesus. . kaulah sahabat ku. . . 1 , 2, 3, 4. . .7, 8. . .yesus. . .

P.s: I love you che =)

Pre-cny preparation

Before I blog about ‘Blessed’ part 2, let me show you what’s my pre-cny preparation looks like every single year, without fail! (Shucks la, I am actually abit bored la that’s why.)

I hope my sis sees this. She is dying to come back to msia for CNY. So I am bringing home closer to her =)

the working area

Shyuen!

 

There you go. That’s our typical ore-cny celebration. Something that we all look forward to every single year. Its hardwork and sometimes very tedious to prepare, but the outcome? Priceless.

 

This is for you che. Enjoy!

Simplicity meets abundance

Its Monday again. My sister and bro in law went to work already. So I am left alone here. Making my own breakfast and lunch till they come back for dinner. Not too bad actually. I may pack some lunch and eat in the park while enjoying the afternoon breeze.

 

Again sitting here looking at my sister’s humble home; I am really inspired by how they live their life here in Australia. My sis and bro in law never once wanted to live a glamour life and they were never driven to buy big houses and expensive cars. They dun have any financial commitment which is awesome. They get to eat good food everyday and they never go hungry (I know this because my sis is putting on weight since the last time I saw her..oops). God’s blessing has been so real in them and this is obvious because of their pure contentment in things given to them in life..

 

Simplicity meets abundance.

 

Will God ever restore back that greatness?

 

Anyway, Christmas 08 is going to be quite different for me compared to my previous years. Sad but true. Pastor’s wife prayed that for those who do not have that much joy this Christmas, we will find that Joy in the Lord. So, I am going to list down the people I wanted to pray for because I think, this is also one way I could attain joy in the Lord and still be ‘chrismassy’ this season.

 

Christmas now gives me a whole new meaning.

All in all, I am grateful for my break here in Sydney =)

 

Che and andew, you guys have been marvelous =)

 

So, bring it on!err…whatever it is! =D

 

My two-cents worth post

 

The July morning sunlight sneaked into the tightly shut window by my bed and woke me up.

Its Sunday morning, my last day in Sitiawan.

I am always very dramatic. I wish I am not but I can’t help it.

I think overall girls love tragedy.

At least, I think most girls do.

 

Sang that song ‘Centre of my life’ again and couldn’t help but feel alil ashamed of myself.

So many things I’ve laid down before God but never felt satisfied or grateful.

Did I respond the way that is pleasing unto Him?

That I don’t know.

I want to find out.

 

I love people telling me stories.

All kind of stories

because I like to listen to them, probably that’s why.

My mum and Jared are these people.

In fact, Jared has told me many amazing and heartfelt stories.

My first story from him was the’ girl and the pearl necklace’

And of course I like people listening to all my crap as well.

It would be best, if they also display a great enthusiasm every time I talk.

 

Going back to college again.

First year is going to be tough and probably friend-less for the first 1 month.

Joanna is moving to Monash together with Joan Dee.

Jovy and Raf doing Uk programme.

Jin ho may not be around anymore.

Jeremy, jen ric, Jess, Jenn, Karming and myself are all doing Aus programme but different majors.

So tell me, what to look forward to?

Saw the sunset in Sunset Bistro (Penang) in of my friend’s blog.

Yes Joan Dee, it was beautiful.

Just the way you described it.

Jared said he will take me there when I come again.

 

Alil hungry now but I have to watch my weight.

No worries. I am not like those sorts of girls who will sell their soul for big boobs and good body.

I think I already have one, I think, except I need to tone it up abit. (Aaah perasan…)

Also, eating healthy is crucial.

That’s why I should stop thinking about mcDs.

They are the culprit in flabbyness.

 

Can’t wait for someone’s 27^th birthday!

I want to make it really special for that someone,

Because he truly deserves it =)

I was telling eve the other night and got very excited.

She gave me lots of ideas and told me which website to go to for more ideas.

I have a few ideas in my notebook right now,

Some are really cheesy and lame though. hehe!

Can’t wait to see the look on his face that day =)

 

Brother is stopping by Msia for some meetings and conference.

Hope we’ll get to meet up before he leaves for his next stop, the Philipines.

 

James had a cook-out again last Friday.

Wanted to have some wine to accompany his food but I think I need to lay off the wine for a while.

After Benny’s wedding, every time I smell alcohol, I feel like puking.

Had too much the other night.

Btw, James, well done on the chicken though Joshua and I liked the bacon more.

Had so much fun watching our youth musicals…hehe…

We all looked so ridiculously young.

Enjoyed every moment in youth, musical and caroling.

 

I think it is going to rain again.

The sky is slowly filled with grey clouds.

I guess this is how I feel as well, literally.         

Aih, need to pack already.
