Life takes its toll on emotions.

I've been emotionally challenged, in certain situations its hard to keep that kind of emotion you're suppose to. Emotions come right away and I tried to take control of that. I admit I'm being very emotional at times, it makes me feel uncomfortable and to the people around me as well. I find ways to really let go and be freed from these like anger,pain,sense of betrayal and disappointments.

Today we learned about Armor of God in CG. I felt tied down to my emotions at first, it's so difficult to let go. As we were discussing on the breastplate of righteousness and sandals of peace, I realized I had gone far from Him. The world continues to take me in and I need to crawl my way out to where I've stop my race. It's time to get back on track, take up the armor of God, continue the race and pick up my steps.

Suddenly, I felt so much more free because I've let go of what holds me in the world. Emotions too. I felt I would want to love more, live more, laugh more, move more and more patience. I feel absolutely amazing, I just don't let little things or even big circumstances to kick me out from where I felt closest to. Him. And to take control of my emotions. I learnt to take and let go. Why hold on if it makes me feel insecure and imprison? Hold on to the only one who gives salvation,freedom!

easy breezy life (lols quote from Covergirl cosmetics)
be joyful ;)
i love life because i know where i'm going and why am i living for! :D

Mom & Dad

2009-09-29T01:04:00.003+08:00

Suddenly, I thought about my father. Some of you might know, some of you don't - my father passed away when I was about 9 years old. I guess probably my dad's death anniversary is going to be here soon.

Mom kept Dad's things very well. I remembered Dad loved to collect coins from around the world. Mom still have it. Dad has two very classic watches, which I loved - because I've always loved everything classic. One is Christian Dior and another Tag Heuer. These are now considered branded watches. And something that would not be in the stores today. Another of Dad's treasure is a Yashica SLR camera, fully manual. I've used it for my photography projects during my college days. I kind of realised Dad is still around because I'm owning his stuff. You would ask if I miss my dad. Growing up, sort of. Dad is always like the protector of the family. Losing such a strong vibe does affect my life. It wasn't easy at first because I felt different. Mom felt different too. But as time goes by, Mom was both "mom & dad" I never felt less loved or anything. It felt normal.

Anyway, I adore these classic pieces from my dad just like we treasured our loved ones, right? The older it gets, the more we treasure it. We also sort of realised the wrinkles on our parents forehead getting more, and we wonder if we are doing anything in return for our parents hardwork. Their hardwork for raising us, getting us to college and fulfilling our needs? I don't know, but sometimes people do things for themselves only - people work really hard in their career, trying to get the best position. All because they want a better life, for them only? Do they forget about their parents?

My mom gets so worried when I work too hard. She worries when I get depressed. I feel guilty because I'm a grown-up and yet I still need my mom to worry about me. My mom just wants me to be happy and spend time with her. I think most parents think the same. They don't need to see us with a big pay cheque. They don't need us to lavish them with expensive gifts. They just need our time, our smile, our happiness......

I'm not doing enough for my mom, and yet she's doing so much for me! I asked my mom before, how she kept herself strong when my dad passed away. To bring up two kids on her own I don't think its easy at all. She said it's because of us she has to go on with life. Wherever I complain about my situation, I thought about what my mom has to go through and I think my situation is nothing compared to my mom's. She's always positive, strong and encouraging. I'm thankful to God for having such a wonderful mother.

What I want to do in return for my mom, is just for her to not worry about me anymore and that I could take care of myself. And spend most of my time with her. When I have more time for her, she would not have to worry about me so much. She could see how I'm doing and that I'm doing just great :)

Treasure our loved ones while they are here and not when they're gone. Self-less LOVE.

ATOMIC & COST

2009-09-10T00:07:00.003+08:00

Recently, our TSF official video was up on youtube. TSF stands for Tertiary Students Fellowship and I've been serving in this youth ministry for close to 4 years now. wow how has time flies. TSF has taught me so much, the people gave me so much and the leaders have guided me to where am i today. and of course, God has anointed me with all of these throughout my serving in TSF and I've indeed grown so much in TSF. How I really miss those old times. Now, TSF has grown and has multiplied - we have an all new youth ministry which I believe is for a better growth and vision as well.

ATOMIC was our stand for TSF. I almost forgot about it until I watched the video again. And I would still want to make a stand with ATOMIC. COST is TSF. We're Champions of Significance and Truth. :D

A- Accountability
T- Teachable
O- Off-limits to drunkardness and drugs
M- Maintaning sexual purity
I- Immovable in God's word
C-Christ-centered preaching and teaching

my first attempt on photo editing.XD i've tried to use photoshop last time but i never really use it, i feel its much more difficult than AI, so never knew how to use it haha. today i experiment on it, bolehlah do some editing. but PS could do so much i think i need to slowly learn :D

i like to take photographs and never edit them. gaha cuz i like them in their natural form! i wanted the photos to be edited when i shoot (exposure and shutter speed). aahh...that's another thing i need to learn more.

haha this is a shoot of heather kuzmich (ANTM cycle 9) love her features and pictures! she's gorgeous! don't know who's the photographer but i edited the picture lols. sorry to the photographer HAHA. i like photos that's vintage and classic. This editing (left side) does give me that kind of western combined with oriental vintage? what do you guys think?

;)

2009-08-13T01:08:00.002+08:00

feel like must post this.haha.

Restaurant Koong Jung (3rd Floor) in PNB Darby Park, Jalan Ampang, one of the best Korean restaurants ever! I'm so in love with their food now....omg. It's so delicious! The Korean lady bosses are very nice and sweet as well. Great food with great service! Once you enter the restaurant, they are already making you feel so welcome and full of great appetite the moment they greet you in Korean (anyohaseyo!)

It's also nice to see 90% people who went to have their meals there are Korean people. If these Koreans would go to this restaurant, it must have achieved a certain standard for it's cuisine. The prices range from RM20 onwards, not very pricey I would say because it's worth it.

I would go there every Tuesday if I can before attending meeting in PNB Darby Park. Sweeett!
Anyone want to give it a try can find me go together hahahaha

:D Cheers

Devotion for the Day ;)

2009-08-11T11:55:00.003+08:00

Luke 8:14

The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature. But the seed on good soil stands for a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

Geez...today's devotion is talking about the world again and our strong roots in the Lord. Worries definitely never really left me. I was down with worries and fear and that makes me just sank in. This verse here reminds me that I must scatter my seeds on good soil. No matter what happens, I will persevere and therefore never be shaken of my faith and His words remain still in me.

Worries and fear are very common and it always happens. Lets ask God to turn these into passion and faith! I pray that God would make my days filled with passion and fruitful!

In Matthew 6:27, "Can you add even one hour to your life by worrying?"

And in Matthew 6:33-34, "But put God's kingdom first. Do what he wants you to do. Then all of those things will also be given to you. So do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will worry by itself. Each day have enough trouble of its own."

Life is too short to be anything but happy!

So guys, live life to the fullest!! :D

Devotion for the Day :)

The Wise and Foolish Builders

Luke 6:47-49

I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on a rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.

Sometimes, I'm like that too. I was so easily swayed by the world. Therefore, I lost track and was just hanging without any directions. I easily get crushed. Now I lay a strong foundation and with God's Mighty hands, I will stand firm and stay strong! No matter what, I will keep going and continue on the race. Life is definitely never easy, many people come and say many things and that makes us change our ways. Of course, some are probably good for change but we ourselves need to know our roots and what God has in store for us.

All plans go well with Him. Every way is of His and not of ours. Be strong!!Never give up for God NEVER gives up on us!

Amen!

of anti-oxidants and free radicals :)

2009-07-28T23:33:00.002+08:00

Do you know that too much free radicals in your body will cause risk to your health such as cancer?

Health depends on balance between anti-oxidants and free radicals. To gain optimal health, this is very important. I found out a few sources of free-radicals from a talk i attended.

To those who smoke, one cigar contains 10,000,000,000,000 free radicals!! Goodness, that really shocked me! No wonder people who smoke and inhale the smoke are very very much likely to have cancer.

Others sources are energy production in mitochondoria, radiation exposure and environmental (the ozone). Most of us lack of anti-oxidants is because we don't eat enough vegetables and fruits thus we lack of nutrients.

Oh, do you also know we have to at least eat 1kg of vegetables and fruits per day? In our busy lifestyle in KL, not many people actually have the time to be health conscious. I used to be like that but I realized I really do need to take care of my health. When something happened, it's too late. Prevent is better than cure, right?

That's why supplements are carefully researched with the best ingredients. XD. just pop a few good pills :) Supplements are good for us. Look at this picture below. Can you eat that much vegetables and fruits per day to meet your nutritional needs?
cheers :D though i love vegetables and fruits, but not this much a day!
Live healthy! :D(lols, very health conscious dy me XD)

Lose Weight the Right Way with TRA (The Right Approach)

2009-07-22T11:38:00.002+08:00

Obesity is posing a growing threat to the health of the world population. In our country, 5 in 10 adult Malaysians are now rated overweight or obese under the guidelines issued by WHO. The global overweight (BMI>25) and obese (BMI>30) are estimated to be more than 1.1 billion, with more than 300 million (1/3) who are clinically obese (with chronic disease and disability due to obesity)

I'm more aware now that obese is indeed a serious issue as overweight people are at risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and stroke. I have been overweight since my childhood days and I realized this is probably due to the lifestyle my family of generations lived. Almost all my relatives from my dad's side are extremely overweight. I still remember we had lots and lots of food during our gatherings or even just having a casual dinner. And they are meat-lovers and veggie-haters!

I was never really health conscious or really cared about what I ate. Of course, I thought about losing weight as well (signed up for California Fitness for 2 yrs and now True Fitness for 2 yrs) Who doesn't want to achieve an ideal weight, right? It didn't really worked out as with the busy lifestyle and plus didn't really researched on the right way to gain ideal weight.

In Feb 2008, I joined this program TRA (The Right Approach) for better weight management and health. I know my health is at risk as I'm obese so I decided to embark on this programme. It proves to have changed my life! It has been almost 3 months after I finished the programme and I manage to lose weight healthily and still am losing weight. Food intake in my family have changed as well thanks to me being on this programme and insist that I must eat right and healthy. My mom is happy too as she also suffers from high-blood pressure, diabetes and high-cholestral. All this has definitely benefited me and my family :D I don't spend on going gym anymore but I exercise outdoors. It's much refreshing :)

I now lead a healthy lifestyle! Are you? Here is an article of the weight management programme I joined. It was on the Star on Sunday, July 12. I took the article from The Star Online. It's proven safe by HSA (Singapore Health Science Authority as it was first launched in Singapore)

Sunday July 12, 2009

The right approach

A three-pronged weight loss programme helps people lose weight by combining weight loss products, good nutrition and plenty of exercise.

IF you consider the countless weight loss programmes you can choose from, you may find it difficult to believe that the underlying philosophy of losing weight basically boils down to one equation: when you take in less calories than you spend, you have weight loss. It is that simple, says Nu Skin enterprises chief scientific officer and executive vice president Dr Joseph Y. Chang. But although everybody knows that, it is not easy to lose weight with our current lifestyles.

“I always find it ironic that people have to drive to the gym,” says Dr Chang. Indeed, as machines increasingly replace muscles (the way cars replace the need for any legwork), there seemed to be less reason to spend calories any more than we absolutely need to. And thanks to fast food and convenient mamak stalls, we are now blessed with more calories than we ever need.

With these in mind, Malaysian-born Dr Chang and his research team in the US came up with the The Right Approach (TRA) – a patented weight loss programme by Nu Skin Enterprises that combines supplements, nutrition management and exercise with an additional element: group support.

Available in countries like Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Brunei, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the weight loss programme has recently reached our shores.

“By bringing in TRA, we hope to provide Malaysians with a scientifically tested system to help them lose weight the healthy way,” he adds.

The reason we sometimes eat too much is our brains associate eating with sociable events, where we sit down with friends and family to eat and chat. And often, we eat more than we should, says Dr Chang.

Malaysian-born Dr Joseph Y. Chang and his research team in the US came up with the The Right Approach – a patented weight loss programme by that combines supplements, nutrition management and exercise with an additional element: group support. – AZMAN GHANI/The Star

That is why we need to retrain our brain to eat less and exercise more to achieve permanent weight loss, he explains.

People who go on TRA will be encouraged to exercise and practise portion control, where they can eat their normal diet, but half as much. On top of that, they could also take meal replacements to control their calorie intake and consume supplements to control carbohydrate cravings, absorb fat in the digestive tract, increase their body metabolism and burn fat.

To check their progress, they are encouraged to form small support groups that meet regularly.

A “TRA Consultant” will be assigned to monitor the groups’ progress or on a one-to-one basis. (The company conducts regular TRA consultant training for its distributors to educate them on The Right Approach to weight management – the Right Supplementation, Right Nutrition and Right Exercise.)

It may be difficult to do it on our own, but having a group that reminds you to eat healthily and exercise regularly makes it easier, says Dr Chang.

The problem with most diets is that when you are on it, you lose weight fast. The moment you stop, you put the weight back on. As Dr Chang put it, “it’s like a yo-yo”. That is why weight loss medications like laxatives that help people lose weight by losing water are, at best, temporary measures to reduce weight. With TRA, we place more importance in keeping the weight down, he says.

While he concurs that there is no best product for everybody, he cautions against some weight loss products that contain dangerous chemicals, some of which have been pulled off the shelves recently.

Our best protection against these dubious products is our common sense, says Dr Chang. Some of the questions you should ask are: does the product come from a reliable company? Has it been researched well? How exactly does the product work?

A rule of thumb is: if it sounds too good to be true, be careful. As nothing beats reduced calorie intake and exercise in weight loss, if you have to lose weight with the help of supplements or weight loss programmes, choose them carefully.

Throughout my 1 year of being a temporary staff for PIKOM continuosly, I realised working life has definitely changed me. There are of course, pros and cons. Sometimes I wish I could be the person I was back then. I became more emotional, haha as more responsibilities sunk in, things get emotional sometimes. I tend to think about my future at all times. Questions arised, such as "where is this going to lead me?" "will what i do now take me to where i want to go?"

It's so easy to get discouraged and my moods are like roller-coaster. I never thought about working permanently for a company as I just fear of my time being tied. Probably I have given it a thought at times but it never did work out. I felt at loss and also regret that I did not put effort earlier to do what I really want to do. It took quite some time to find out what I really wanted. It's like I should have straight venture into my industry earlier rather than spent a year in PIKOM.

However, thinking back, its really not such a bad thing after all. I got to know a industry that's totally opposite of what I studied. I've met wonderful people there, which is probably one of the reasons I did not leave the company. Haha yes maybe some people would not understand, but the teamwork and friendship I saw there are just amazing. I absolutely adore my boss, I've learn a lot from her, she's my inspiration and gives me the drive to work better and live better! :D

Now, I've chosen a path that gives me the freedom to manage my own time. I know, I know I had bad time management - but I've improved through my college years and my time in PIKOM. Ahem, laziness is an issue as well. Oops. Now, it's just the beginning. Like the war has just started! The race has just begun! I joined a business that does weight management and skincare. It's fun and challenging. And it thought me more about the real world too. Haha! I'm also trying to build my own garment business, hopefully to make my products first and able to design and sell.

I would say I didn't have proper training in pattern drafting back in college. Pattern drafting is a step before you actually sew the garment. As I'm from the pioneer batch, I didn't have proper foundation. Only in my last two years, I've improved a lot in design and pattern drafting, thanks to my lecturer Ms.Sheila. She has tremendous experience in pattern drafting and design, she was in UK for 10 years! When you have more exposure, especially being in the fashion capitals in the world like New York and Paris, you will improve a lot in your designs. Your imagination goes beyond!

A sample of what pattern drafting is. If you think this is complicated, it gets more complicated!
I have a complete pattern drafting book, its good so now I'm using it as a reference to make my designs. It's like starting from A B C again. I want to make my foundation stronger. It's going to be really hard but I love what I do and I will go for it. Well, with no business, marketing or probably sufficient experience in fashion world, I will DO it! As I go by, I know I will learn. Learning is forever.

Time goes by so fast its scary sometimes. I better catch time before it catches me. Haha! There's another thing I want to share here. Last two weeks we shared about doubt in TSF. And that's something I struggled most of the time and to many people too, I believe. I would like to post a verse here thats so encouraging to me.

Mark 11 : 22-25

"Have faith in God" , Jesus answered. I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea", and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins"

Haha, seems my post this time a lot of things to share. Maybe I never really express last time. Haha! GO GO GO! "Faith with actions, no doubt, no fear, more patience, do it!" :D oh be more forgiving! :D

BELIEVE

2009-06-13T23:34:00.002+08:00

Today FGA had combined service and the speaker was fantastic! Ps. Philip from Indonesia spoke of a great testimony about a girl and his own testimony as well. It was really a life-transforming day for me!

Anik from Indonesia had bone tuberculosis. Her bones was practically melting and all she could do was lie on her bed. Imagine her bones are like cheese - soft!! She can't do anything at all. I watched the video with my very own eyes how it all happened - i don't have the video with me here but what God did to heal her wasn't just a healing miracle but a creative miracle! And her strong belief in the Lord was speechless. Doctors couldn't save her. But she persevere, she BELIEVED!! Her CG Leader BELIEVED! Everyone around her believed and kept on praying. And it all happens because of BELIEF. God created new bones in her body!! Her old bones were coming out from her body and new solid bones were created in her!! Now she could live like a normal person again!

In 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, old things have passed away, behold all things have been new"

What I was really amazed was the word believe. That's such a powerful word, to know and keep it is never easy. Yes, we believe in Him but how deep is our belief? I began to question my depth of believe and passion. Sometimes even in little things I doubted Him and God kept telling me not to doubt in Him. Worries and fear shook my belief in Him. Many times He reassured me and my belief grew and grew. This time, today Anik's testimonial has grounded my belief in the Lord. I couldn't stop thinking how the word is so impactful and how it just got the hold of me! NEVER would I let my problems get in the way anymore.

Nothing is greater than the Lord. We all know this and me, too. But I need to keep on reminding myself everyday that HE is Almighty and HE is all possible.

BELIEVE! A BIG word! Believe and be passionate! I'm excited in the Lord! :D

believe is burying your passion in your heart and mind :)

memoirs

2009-06-13T01:26:00.002+08:00

suddenly feel like reading back my old posts as it brings lots of memories and probably remind me of things i forget.

i realized i forgot something...my passion in fashion. and my directions. previously i posted i finally found what i really want to do - bring happiness through fashion. i loved bridal wear as well and last year i wanted to chase over that. now my dreams has expanded...? and i never really chase over that dream. apparently paroimia came and i felt it was my calling so i did what was my top priority.

things change huh. and last year was suppose to be my last year working for PIKOM. But i continued on for a month after paroimia. it is really time to get hold of my dreams and not let it go anymore. but my path is of God's and wherever or whatever i'm called for i will be there...

and i will not forget His calling and His plans anymore.....

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

and i will not forget His calling and His plans anymore.....

Thoughts for life??

2009-06-11T01:36:00.002+08:00

Geez...I've never really blog much about serious thoughts, probably full of craps? XD

I guess I'm not so much of a thinker, I always thought philosophies are just the way they are. I make my own philosophy haha! I'm a simple-minded person and I would like to think simple at all times. And my mom and my sister worried about me because I'm like never really took things seriously. I live a life of freedom and financial is sufficient but not for future, yet. To me, family comes before everything else. And my mom is my everything apart from God. Maybe a lot of you don't know that my dad passed away when I was in primary school. So I want to spend as much time possible with my mom. As I'm the youngest, my family was afraid I could not support or take care of myself. Probably I did sometimes rely on my sister but I can be independent. I've drown many times when I simply threw myself in the open sea but I climbed back to shore.

After graduation I was kind of confused what I should do and all. I was stuck with PIKOM (events in ICT industry) for a year. I was hired based on projects. In and out I worked there. I was definitely in the wrong industry but since I had no other options available, I just continued. Besides, I worked with great people which I really looked up too. I learned so much from them and the bond that I've created with them, that makes me hard to leave.

Comfort zone just makes someone so hard to make a change. The first step is always the hardest as we're afraid of drowning. Fear overtakes us. I thought I wanted to have a life like any other - have a job and that's that for the rest of my life. However, when I really think - do I really want a life like that? Stay in the same company for 30 years down the road? What happens after that? Will I accomplish things I wanted and be satiesfied? Now I began to think of the life that I really want.

I wouldn't want to stay in the same company for 30 years and yet nothing happens. Some people still stay where they are no matter how hard they've worked. And the higher position you are, the harder you need to work. There's no stopping or even rest. When you're on holiday, business calls. How long that needs to go on? Hmm... I'm on the verge of exploring a better opportunity to live a life of freedom with sufficient finance for future!

I also want to chase my dreams of course, if not I would've wasted my 4 years in college studying fashion. In fashion industry, you know what's important? To establish your label and be famous. Fame's not important to me. I wish to bring happiness to people through fashion. Fashion is suppose to create confidence for people and not to pull down their confidence. You know what they say? Fashion is for skinny people. And plus - only rich people can afford fashion. Aren't all humans the same, come from God? We all should be treated the same. Everyone deserves to be beautiful - whether skinny or plus-size, rich or poor.

These are my visions. Live a life of freedom and to bring happiness through fashion! :D I finally found what I want to do. I'm afraid too that this path will lead me nowhere at first. But I believe in what I do and I believe in God.

I have been at crossroads and still there
Pondering upon the future that the paths held
I stood there, thinking I could see the end
Truth is, the end of the roads are of uncertainty

My soul is unsure of which path to walk
I wonder if I regret standing there too long
If time would allow me to make a decision
Will I finally found my right path?

Why is the world laying it's eyes on me?
Am I a part of all the people in this world?
Wherever I go, they followed my shadow
I do not want to move according to their sight

I decided I do not regret I've been long wandering
I am ready to walk on the path He had chosen
I will stumble and fall but I could start over
For He is here and I will go back to my Creator

CHEERS!! PAROIMIA was a phenomenan! Overflowing success, every show was fully booked until we had to open extra shows!

I didn't get to go to the first show - opening of paroimia as I've hurt my knee again. I said again because two weeks before I've hurt my knee at home while exercising. I couldn't walk for like 3 days, the painkillers and muscle reliever medicines caused me gastric. I couldn't eat properly at all.

The same happened second time, I took one dose of the medicines again and caused me gastric also. =.=' i know i know, i shouldn't have done the mistake twice but the pain is unbearable. I cant straigthen my legs and can't walk. I vomited for the whole day. I could not eat anything at all. I truly understand the feelings of a handicapped person now. Thank God my mom was here the second time around and she took care of me.

I've recovered now but have to be extremely careful. I fear of not being able to walk again. Thank God for His healing and strength. Without Him, it is even harder to go through that period of time. I felt bad too that my mom has to take care of me. She's not young anymore, I should be the one taking care of her...

well! life has to go on! i'll be positive and fearless! a lot of things i need to take responsibility now. God is with me! :D

BALI Part 1

2009-03-25T12:56:00.008+08:00

15th March 2009
arrival at hotel!!matahari bungalow(fyi,it's pronounced as bunga-low) the settings very flora and fauna like- natural. the architecture very balinese.

that's the lobby.

while waiting to check-in, take pictures first ngek2x

16th march 2009
the next morning, our breakfast is provided by the resort. from this day onwards, we ate a lot of nasi goreng and mee goreng. >< onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p5_RfECmR-Q/ScoTUpEWuwI/AAAAAAAAAYs/WCQ5oLedPw4/s1600-h/IMG_4767.jpg">the resort has a beautiful swimming pool as well! the sun is great!!

after breakfast, getting ready to explore kuta street. going on a shopping spreeeeeeee

lunch time! this is bagus pub. it is BAGUS! good food, haha and see the tagline! bloody cold beer!!

mee goreng!!
on our way of exploring, my sister and lai li got their temporary tattoos. i very lazy to get one.>< aahh..wats better than a foot massage after a long long walk?? This is shinkei spa, very good with cheap prices! i came back here again another day. hehe.

here is ngurah rai airport. we were waiting for chi ling to arrive.

at night, we went to maxi cafe to chill out. and had their drink called "arak on the rock". its a balinese traditional drink woh.

kuta street is very very happening! day time lots of shops to walk around. night time its all clubs and pubs. some even opened for 24 hours. this is one of the clubs. we came here clubbing on the last night. HEHE
we had dinner at jimbaran bay seafood. its absolutely majestic here. eating by the beach!! something i've always want to do!! the wind blowing, the sound of waves, good food - sooooo relaxing!

17th March 2009
First destination was batu bulan, where we paid 50,000 RP to watch a tradisional performance called rangda and barong.

Rangda and Barong are both mythical creatures. Barong is the good one. A fight between good and evil.the performance was held at a temple. that's the entrance door with such rich carvings.

after that, we went to see how batik was done. in bali, batik were drawn just like that!! in malaysia, we have to lay the fabric before drawing.

this reminds me of my workplace. haha

this is one of the pics from visiting Celuk, the balinese village. Aunty was cooking some delicious food. heheanother shot from the balinese village. the rooms are really small but felt cosy :)

Kinta City, the volcano mountain. we stopped for lunch here :)

Pura Pusar, the home of studio artists. its indescribable the quality of paintings here. it's just WOW. we bought two painting from here XD

trying out the coffee and other drinks in Tapak Siring. The famous ones was luwak coffee. very expensive. it's very nice to drink lo! luwak is an animal, it eats a fruit then it was processed in the body - haha then the shit is use to make coffee beans.

cheers! the ginger tea is nice too. i bought bali coffee only. for ah fong. the coffee lover. lols.

BALI Part 2

2009-03-25T11:36:00.008+08:00

18th March 2009
On our way to Besakih Temple, the mother of all temples and also the rice terrace, we stopped by a place - up on the hill, cooling and fantastic view! I think it's called Gunung Catur. :)

that's me, karen and my sister

this little makan place overlooks the rice terrace view, we stopped by for a quick bite before continuing on to besakih. darn hungry and the temple is way high up. we ate mee sedap instant noodle lols. and carbonated bottle drinks. very rare we find bottle colas or sprites anymore.
that's the rice terrace! the paddy field is famous of it's few storeys. absolutely amazing!

oh sorry forgot ah, before that, we went to Denpasar. This is at a temple near Museum Bali. the museum was closed so couldn't go. =.='

This is also at Denpasar, Pasar Badung. We came here to buy sarongs. At Besakih temple, we need to wear sarongs hehe. Cover a bit ma, holy place nehh ngek2x

Oh there it is!! Besakih! it's very very huge! i climbed this, then i dunit climb batu caves dy. >_<
the high-up thing they hung up has their own symbols. Red symbolizes fire and so on. i can't remember all the temple stories haha. but this temple has been here for i dont-know-how-long. few decades probably!!

that's chi ling and me. in sarongs hahaha. i brought my own sarong neways. hehe

from left: me, mobby, lai li and karen. mobby praying wor :P

we head over to Chandi Dasa, recommended by Chi Ling must come! it's also a black sand beach like the one in langkawi. but of course, miles better than langkawi. because in langkawi it's no longer black. this is still well preserved. we enjoyed the sunset here...beautiful. i love watching sunsets at beach.
another shot. :)
there is a cuisine called bakso here. bakso babi ader, bakso ayam atau kambing also got. it's a very unique recipe, first time trying it. it's cooked in soup, with dices of nasi pulut, glass noodles and the bakso. bakso means balls actually.

haha!! jagung bakar sold near the beach! imagine eating jagung at the beach LOLS! it was delicious neways! big fan of corn ma hehehehe

19th March 2009
Not following the tour van today, decided to just hang out ourselves. we went to kuta beach, which is just walking distance. the sun was great for tanning ngek2x. the water was pretty dirty but the waves were big, a lot of people were surfing here.

got a snapshot of a macho man. lols i find this pic quite look like a beach ad. wakakak XD

suntanning!! yes i've got the tan already!!

surfing pic no.1
i've been looking out for this guy. waiting to take his surfing pic!! lols. he's a great surfer.

and there is my best surfing pic, i would say. hehe. so happens he got so near to me and SNAP! :D lots more surfing pics but in my friend's camera.

.................

2009-03-01T22:01:00.003+08:00

A majestic rise sitting on it's colours

My soul beats to the sound of the waves

The melody of my heart fading

And wondering if the colours will fade too

The stillness of the sky

Brings her spirit to the shore

The silence of the wind

Brings the rainfall in her soul

Can this soul wait a moment more and bear the bleeds of her heart?

out-world

2009-02-20T09:33:00.006+08:00

man..thats how i feel when i work all-alone at home. no communication with people outside!! practically, i've got no time to go out meet up with friends hmm.

when i go out, it has to be work. feels like i'm back to college. but thank God for this production and that i have flexible time. i'm currently working on costumes for paroimia, FGA Varsity youth ministries musical production. it's extremely taxing since there's so little time but lots of things to do!

geez, really feels like doing assignments for college. always have to rush. XD. however, i'm learning a lot from this. like my own personal experiment on things i have never attempted before. some things almost seems impossible, but He is possible. :)

anyways, guys!! look out for paroimia! it's a great production!! will update more when the promo is up. :D

2009-02-20T09:33:00.005+08:00

yoohoo our MOC annual trip!! aaahh...we went to Langkawi for 4D3N. Blissful!! Such joy to hide away from city for once!! I love the beach and MOCs too, ngek ngek and we all got the tan that we want. Lols altho there's redness, pain & some itchyness...nvmlor, i'm still glad i can lie down on the sand and suntan! very funny, 90% of the tourists are all caucasians and there we are, four asians lying down there suntanning. They must think we are ABCs or what. Eh we're ABC wert - Asian Born Chinese. Wakakaka!!

And all three nights...we 'lan yam' >> alcoholics come out oredi. mocs ah, keep LZM a secret okay. i appear secretly de ma. ;P jack daniels is the best! jack-factor got into all of us. *curi ketawa* there's one night we syiok sendiri "clubbing" inside the room....some french girls or guys, dono siapa bang on our doors and windows. sweat. terus we jump into bed and "shhhh" damn i should've opened the door!! and see who is it!!
overall, such a fantastic trip. enjoyed so much with all my great great moc girlfriends. you guys are the best!! some pics XD XD

old buddies

2009-02-10T02:31:00.003+08:00

just came back from meeting an old friend. i haven't seen him for 4 years! i'm glad we still keep in touch. during my high school days i used to hang out with this bunch of guys - most of us went our separate ways after that. but right now we began keeping in touch again. great!

and everyone has changed. hehe i'm considered the "angel" one among them, and they are the devils. wakaka but now they've all grow out of their bad behaviours (ulp!they better not see this) haha. but honestly they have turned back to God and leading a good life. i'm happy for them! :D

neways...i haven't got a job yet.sigh. and freelance doesnt earn much. but i'm voluntarily doing costume designing for my youth's musical production. and really running out of time to make the costumes ad!i'm extremely excited about it. some people think why i did it. its my passion! and i'm learning a lot from this.

Sometimes i do worry about nt getting a job....but then i guess i don't have too. i'm still looking around if there are any vacancies, but economy not good samore- i believe God will provide me with the right job somehow.:) meanwhile i'll figure out more things i can do for freelance. :)

anyone wants custom-made garments do contact me at sarahkwok77@yahoo.co.uk or 012-5137625. :D

Although i'm honestly not very close to most of my cousins there but get to chit-chat a little with them too. It's important that we do not lose the family bond :D I have a big family there! i love them :)
that's my housing area. I stayed there since I was little. My grandma and another aunty stayed nearby so we walk hehe

2nd day of cny, went to a gathering with my ex-schoolmates. four married, three with kids and one brought along the son too. dont know what my feelings. haha!old? or FREE?

very very happy to see them all again. i hope we will catch up once in a while and more gatherings :)

Wacoal, the japanese lingerie company has called me for an interview for the marketing position. dont ask me why i'm not in designing - apparently not many local brands that hire designers and i'm on the verge of establishing my own brand (hopefully), so i'm doing some freelance designing work with a friend. :)

i guess i've been too choosy sometimes for a job - dont know if it's a good thing, but very long aredi i'm unemployed, i gotta step forward and try. if it's not suitable then we'll see how la. i'll go where God will place me. I'll do what His plans are for me.

yea!i can online already. but the wireless still can't use.sigh. so everytime i want to online i need to carry my laptop to the living room so that can use the modem.oh well

i came back from the fga tpg lumut camp one week ago. it wasn't easy conducting a teens and kids camp. but overall, i experienced so much and thank God for that. :D i also learnt a lot from estee and say chueen, my room mates. they're above my age and has experience more than me. even working with other committee members, i learnt something from each of them. it was really a lot of fun! hahahaha and also realised its hard to keep up with them.they have so much energy!geez am i getting old?sheesh.on the last night, we had battle of breakdancing. everyone dance sini sana suka hati sajer lols.

i worked for PIKOM for the last time.in pc fair.will miss them so much.working in PIKOM was definitely fun.they were all great colleagues!!it wasn't easy to leave the job because i really love working with my colleagues but can't stand the job scope.on the last day of pc fair, laugh so much with louise,agnes, and ralph during mamak. man gonna miss those! dulu ader curi ketawa, skrg ader ambik ketawa, kutip ketawa and buang ketawa!!lols, u all noe wat i am talking about.hehe

my next coming up events are jack & yen's wedding. so much to prepare for the church wedding decor. yen, i know you put so much effort in the decor, i will not disappoint you!! so later today i'm going out to buy the materials needed and prepare all the things needed for the decor. there is also a lot to be done for easter production 2009. God, make my commitment to the fullest! the progress is a lil bit slow due to everyone's schedule and i admit i didn't really put much effort unto it yet due to my many commitments. i will have to set my priorities right and commit things i can commit. sometimes too much things, its hard to focus.

phew.i'm jobless now but i have things in hand. another task making a dress for a friend and also myself. haha hopefully discipline will follow me! ngek ngek. meanwhile of course i'm looking for a job as well.

:)

another day:)

2008-12-02T17:55:00.003+08:00

hehe...get to utilize office's internet for blogging.

streamyx is already up in my new house but couldn't set up the router- so can only online from the modem. And my sister is constantly on the internet. I only use it to check email for like 10 mins. Tomorrow I’ll be going back to taiping, need to prepare for FGA Taiping MORE camp. The camp is from 6-9th December.

Final report for Conference is done, gave it to the client. CLOSED! Finally, then my boss don’t have to be bothered by the finance dept and also don’t have to call me to clarify things. But she already *reserved* one job spot for me. sweat. KL PC Fair 11th-14th. Reserved!! Nvmla, since I’m still looking for job and predict I can start new job on jan, ill take it la. Hopefully, really can find a new job by end of Dec. :/

I’ll be back to KL on 10th then. Lotsa things on hand also. must have good time management~~!! :)

still here ;D

2008-11-29T22:16:00.004+08:00

im still blogging, dont worry haha. disappeared some time but...finally get to blog a lil...

i've stopped my temporary job but still...getting calls from my boss asking about certain things. aha and she needs me back at the office next tues for half day, help her settle some stuff. geez. past few days, i've moved in to my new place - Pelangi Utama, very near to one utama. so then while waiting for streamyx to activate, i have no internet access. dont ask me about wireless places, apparently its quite a hassle to bring this gadget to oldtown kopitiam or starbucks.

and yah, without internet - its hard for me to keep updated on church activities i'm involved in. Thank God i've found out transportation of going out from my place. before this, really hard for me to get out at all. apparently, i have one secret - well not exactly a secret, just that nobody asks. haha. i can't really drive on my own - my driving skills really pretty bad. so now i'm on training, drive to near places and where's there no like - 3 o 4 lanes. ;/ so indirectly, i'm good in exploring public transports on getting around. i've gotten so used to it!

today my relatives from singapore came down for a visit. about three weeks i've not gone to church. last weekend was my cousin's wedding. next wednesday ill be going back taiping for FGA Taiping camp at Lumut. will be back around 11th and proceed in helping yen and jack for their wedding on jan. and preparing portfolio for my job-seeking adventure! :D

few dresses to make for friends as well ;) im still learning but its fun.

ciao!cheers~ i think it will be some time before i blog - depending on whether i got access to internet.

back...back...XD

2008-11-14T13:09:00.003+08:00

hey peeps! sorrylah...6 days didn't update. back nowla. I'll tell why now. >_<

past two weeks was absolutely hectic for me. don't even have time to stop and do something else. even leaving the computer for toilet is going to eat my time of finishing my work. yeah that's how bad it is!

as i mentioned earlier in my previous post, I'm assisting in the Outsourcing Malaysia Conference. It's on 11th Nov, so practically a week before that - it was meeting, meeting, meeting and had to prepare everything beforehand for registration procedures. and to make sure there's NO mistakes. And had to follow-up on payments and all, last minute registration too. Gah I was really stress to the max, plus nervous, worried, almost cried because the damn finance dept. A day before the event, I'm already working like hell to get everything prim and proper for the event, that fark-up finance asked me to photostat all registration forms for them so they could issue invoices and close account. crazy. at this hour, u ask me do work samore?! i complained to my superior and she said can ask them go die. lols, that was funny. nice to know my boss is on my side. :D i went over to KL Convention Centre at about 9pm...went home around 12. next morning reached at 7am. fuh. registration went well, thank God! after registration, i can finally relax a lil, around 9am - people already went in for the workshop or conference ad. for the next two days also like that lah, relax, talk and eat.

Overall, the Conference went well I would say. Feedbacks are good. Most people are easy to handle. And they all know me because I've liaise with them earlier on. :D The food was good too. lols. finally- all my hard work has paid off. I'm really satisfied with my job - that i've manage to sell the Conference and they turned up for the event. And whatever matters or issues arises, I managed it. Really really thank God for His hands was upon me. :) I've learned a lot through the difficulties and busy period.

We had appreciation gathering after the last day of event, went to REDBOX plus! woot! it was tiring but fun ~~ my colleagues all sporting and cool wan lah haha. plus the upper management people - directors all also sporting. thats fun. :D will post up pics soon. hehe

rain..rain these days. >_<

yesterday met up with my younger godbro which I haven't seen for quite some time. Eventually he went to join singapore airlines(something I never expected him to do! XD) So he had 3 days off, but we met for dinner, a short one as he has to rush to some other place and going back this morning. funny how he describe his experience - "oklar, its just a job, nothing much la." Geez and I always thought flying was fun! cuz u get to travel and see other countries! right?! :D haha, we've been like "unofficial" siblings since high school though. almost six yrs i think. time flies.XD

haiz..yesterday night was pretty stressed up about work. I guess when im not in office and in front of the computer, it gets nerve wrecking because in my mind I just want to settle those unresolved matters. man, its like addiction wei. ~.~ i dont wish to get all stressed up and my expression shows. its somehow nt comfortable for the people around me la.

ah.being strong is tiring. i wana let go where no one else is around. >_<

i wana be here, ahh serenity.. :)

my job..

2008-11-03T10:52:00.002+08:00

only today get to go online...past few days i was internet-less as i'm moving to a new place soon and the streamyx account is under my housemate, so he cut-off the line already.

geez...no TV, no internet - means no youtube as well. =.=' tidur ajer..

I’m actually assisting in an event called Outsourcing Malaysia Conference, organized by Outsourcing Malaysia (under PIKOM). It’s such a corporate, high-end event that I’m just not very used to it at first. Like lotsa documents plus information, I don’t really understand at all. *sweat. Not my field ma. Gaha.! First month I was assisting in preparation for PC Fair la, that was okay cuz just simple stuff needed to be done. But this conference, reli char dou. What the heck it is about, I really super blur at first, plus I’m suppose to attend to all enquiries regarding this. Omg.

After that, as I go along – don’t get it also MUST get it. Lol..now I understand and *smarter* about this ad la, can answer queries and handle la. I did telemarketing, try my hardest possible to get people to register for this event. Wah freaking two to three weeks of calling u noe! Until my ears like stucked. Overall, I’m in the marketing team. Oh wait, let me re-phrase, I’m THE marketing. I got no other marketing members. ~.~ each person in the Conference team handles different things. Besides that, of course handle registration, all marketing plans, follow-ups…etc etc :O

At one point of time, I really hated this job. Sux to the max. I felt such heavy pressure to get people to attend this conference. Like such BIG responsibility on my shoulder, to hit our target! Hate it! At night sleeping also I get frustrated about it. Dealing with some no-manners people are very the siennnzzz. Chasing people to settle matters also sien. Huh! The event is on 11-13 Nov. Now we’re nearing the event, 1 week more. It’s gona be super crazy in the office liao. Anyways, though I’ve worked in a place that’s totally out of my world, I guess after all I learned a lot. The pressure got some use. >> learn to work under pressure. XD

Now I think enough laa all these, after this, I’m off to chase my passion! Bridal has always been a passion. :D go back to my world la – fashion. Gehe XD XD. I’m dreamingggg ngek ngek.

P/S : my convocation is on 8th nov, moving on 10th nov, Conference on 11th-13th nov. it’s going to get crazy. I’m packing now, sooooooooo many things to pack. Ytd also slept at 2am. Gah.

back to bloggin

2008-10-31T14:20:00.003+08:00

im back to bloggin!lols, I read through my past posts, wow this blog has existed since 2004. almost 4 years!and 2008 is coming to an end now. Just feel want to come back and post things up again LOL

*come back* sounds funny, as if I’ve been on a really long journey around the world. Well, apparently life is a journey. :D what have been happening?

In short, after I finished my final semester, that’s like in march. During that month, I was helping out in Jon & Jen’s wedding, spent a month bumming at home. Haha. Now Jon & Jen gona have a baby boy soon! Geez, how time flies! I guess having this blog helps me to remember things I’ve gone through and how time has taken me to the different stages of life.

My old posts in 2004-2007 was all about my life in college – and man, I had a blast. College life are full of panic,joy,stress,sad,love, raving about my assignments,exams,lecturers,activities. Hahahaha. Every semester, I struggled to meet deadlines and numerous times of burning midnight oils. But, it’s a experience that moulds me now and these could never be bought. :)

In April, I went to japan with my family. It was beautiful, as it’s also the season of sakura! I experienced a totally different culture here from other places I’ve travelled to. It’s VERY clean and the people there are just EXTREMELY polite. XD Gooooood food, good hot spring bath, amazing sceneries, love the culture! But, working environment is pretty stressful and competitive there. Unlike here, we can relax. The principles there are : EFFICIENT & ON TIME! Haha. I stayed on at home until end of the month, suppose to join the TARC final fashion show but in the end, didn’t. Bcuz too much hassle to look for models and buy shoes. >_<

So in june and july, I was planning a freelance business with my coursemates but it didn’t work out. Lack of experience and resources. I decided that I should have a permanent job first. I worked part-time promoter in Phenomenal in August, that was seriously just a job to kill time. =.= Then while looking, in Sept PIKOM offered me a temporary job of 3 months, assisting them in events. I used to work for them in WCIT & PS3, corporate events. Since I haven’t got a job and the pay was quite good, so I agreed. Me and my so called “event-job-partner” went in together. Haha, I called her that because we’ve worked together in events and also hop from events to events. LOLS.

I’ll write about my job in the next post, too many to fit in one post. LOLs.
c.h.e.e.r.s :D

Hosanna

2008-09-05T01:18:00.001+08:00

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

Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

that would be my everyday prayer ;)

This passage relates to me about serving the Lord and fullfiling His will. Yesterday, Pastor Judah and Xiao Wen preached about answering God's calling and grew in it. I think this verses really spoke to me.

"I have served the Lord with great humility and with tears, although I was severely tested by the plots of Jews" - Acts 20:19

"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me.........." - Acts 20:24

KLCC - The pride of Malaysia

2008-03-02T00:39:00.003+08:00

Yesterday night, KLCC was on Discovery channel. I watched how the plan of KLCC started and how it was actually constructed. I was kind of amazed at KLCC as we looked up and how high it could be and standing on the link bridge, looking down - the view was breathtaking. But honestly, I've never been very fascinated with KLCC, i thought it was just another tower built to make Malaysia more well-known around the world. But, watching the documentary yesterday gave me a new sense about KLCC.

It was planned in 1993, that time I didn't even know they were going to built the tower! Or maybe I don't remember. It was suppose to be a big thing around the country. Our very own Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir propose the plan and find the architect, constructors and engineers to make the plan work. Dr. Mahathir came up with the concept that the tower has to incorporate characteristics of Malaysia. Which means, Islamic architecture but still, modern. It took a long time for the architect to research and to come up with the right shape for the two towers. Eventually, after much rejection from Dr. Mahathir on the shape, he did a rough sketch of his idea. But, still it's not workable, only after much experiments and brainstorming, the ideal shape was finally approved.

I couldn't describe the whole documentary as how they built the towers, but I can tell you that it was hard work - harder than I could've ever imagined. The constructors had to endure a lot of problems during the process, such as the weather (raining makes the work really hard and messy), the materials, the soils and land - everything eventually has problem and they had to think of solutions. And it's not easy - these problems are not common, they had to make lots of experiments to make it work. The most interesting fact is, you know what - KLCC is made of concretes and not steel!! Most towers around the world were made of steels and because Malaysia lack of materials and tight on budget, experiments with mix of materials were conducted to provide the most stabilized concrete to support the weight of the towers.

The problems they faced is endless, because of the unique shape of the towers, they had to think of how to put in elevators for the 88 floors. And they had to think of fire escape, they also had to think if KLCC is stabil enough to endure bombs. Because sometime during the year of 1995, a building in New York was bombed and it collapsed. And another building was on fire and because of unplanned fire escape, some people were trapped. These incidents made the engineers into deeper thoughts of keeping KLCC and the people safe. The link bridge was another major difficulty... it was heavy and they could only lift it up millimeters by millimeters, it hung halfway because of the rain.

The towers were completed in 6 years time. It is a shorter time compared to other towers that normally would've taken 8 years! Because of budget, it had to be completed in 6 years and they struggled and challenged to finish it on time. Work non-stop. No matter what, it has to be done, if not they would lost a lot of budget.

As I was watching the documentary, I couldn't take my eyes off it as I was truly fascinated at how the KLCC was built after much difficulties!! It would've wrecked my brain working and thinking like mad! The shape of KLCC is unique compared to other skyscrapers I've seen. It really opened my eyes and this has definitely made me look at KLCC with higher respect and the people behind all that. Hats off! And I'm proud to have been on the link-bridge before. KLCC is the pride of Malaysia, and my pride, too. *winkz

Relationships

2008-02-21T00:19:00.002+08:00

Lately, i've been witnessing a few broken and troubled relationships around me... why does one cheats? Aren't they matured enough to be serious in relationship? I mean at early to mid 20s. Don't they consider the other party's feelings? Does a human's love changed so fast...? And do human always give in to worldly temptations and cheat when given an opportunity? This is awfully sad, especially seeing my friends, broken and hurt. I could feel their pain, anger and bitterness. You gave your all for someone and he/she took it merely and just let you falls apart. Everything that you poured out, suddenly it's meaningless. What can I say, really? Who can explain these? Why cheat? Doesn't love means a lot? Doesn't it? If you're not serious, then don't. You're just gonna hurt someone. Won't hurting someone fills you with guilt? The worst thing to do is betray one's love. It's fragile. I've not been in a relationship yet and sometimes it really makes me wonder, if i'm confident in pursuing it. will my partner cheat on me? will my partner falls for another girl at some time?

At the same time, i somehow believe that knowing each other more can be a key to a strong relationship that lasts until the end. Both sides have to be serious. I guess... they cheat because they're not serious. But why play around? Maybe..when we're in our teens, we fool around but that's because we don't put our all in it. Now..grown-up, my friend gave her all to that guy and if in the first place he doesn't want it, then don't even try! Look for girls who just want to fool around as well! Readers, i'm not referring to guys as the one who cheats but most of my girl friends got cheated, i'm just giving it an example.

just be strong, my friends... they say you only meet the right one after one or two. i'm not sure if it works like that, does it mean my first one will not be the right one? haha. it's complicating, sometimes... i'm lovin this guy, and if he does love me back, will it...?

i could just believe God will bring me the right guy..yes He will. =)

p/s be tough girls, alright? make pain a rain, that falls and ends.

Reading The Night Watch by Sarah Waters inspired me to write. Her novel is just amazingly written, the words that she used is so expressive and made me wonder all the way. It fills me with so many emotions – angry, sad, hurt, and loved as if I’m watching a drama. I’ve always been interested in writing, but I find it hard sometimes, to express myself in a novel. I could write a short story or poems but novels? Gosh, it involves long-term thinking, being able to see the big picture and far ahead. Maybe I could, try. Haha! Yes I could. Dang, even my vocabs are not that wide. But then, this book does help me to learn a lot of words and writing styles. Gaha, I’m not going to copy, of course – it’s like a guideline in writing if I read more books.

I didn’t blog for quite long, I guess. I think sometimes I’m just lazy to put my daily lives into words. Hehehe. Okay then, just a brief of what I’ve been doing – I had a good CNY with my family and relatives. Having a BBQ on the night of 1^st day of Chinese New Year is great! That has been a trend every year, I called it. I would say this year was a with-family-CNY for me, as I didn't have much friends visiting and meeting up, unlike last two years. Friends, they come and go. Only true friends will stay. I will be going back to KL on 23^rd Feb, right now I’m just capturing the moments I could back at home. It’s like retiring, you know! Haha! But then, I constantly find things to do, just to fill time. LOLs. Just that, back here it's a different lifestyle altogether from life in KL, and when I've adapted to here, I've got to get back to KL again!!Then I have to adapt all over again. It doesn't take long but still...haha

I tell myself I must not spend my break carelessly!haha. Currently, I've officially finished my advanced diploma and my college did not offer the overseas programme just yet, so I guess I'm not going to UK after all. My fashion show will be in May. Gotta prepare lots for it. Before I came back to Taiping, I went to Genting with my college buddies and had a wonderful trip!

It's an eventful year for me, 2008 and life-changing, too. It's like crossing over to a new world. I'm prepared for it and I'm glad. Hehe!

Pastor Judah Cheah was the speaker for today, our last service for 2007. His sermon was short, meaningful and added in some humor too! He spoke about reflecting the year 2007, about our walk with God. And he used 'clay' as an example.

I used to be clay but now I'm different. When I was a clay, my master had to roll me and press me to the desired shape. And I shouted "Master, it's painful! what are you doing?!dont press me!" The master said 'No, not yet'

And then when I got my breath back again, my master spun me and mould me to enhance the shape. And again I shouted "Oh!Master what are you doing?Don't spin me!I'm feeling dizzy!" My master replied "No, not yet"

After that, when I stood back again, thought about relaxing. Then my master took me and burned me in the fire. "Master, NOOO!Are you trying to kill me?!Don't burn me!" My master again said "No, not yet"

Then when I got out from the chamber, my master looked at me and said "Well, aren't you beautiful now?"

This is like our walk with God. He, the master had to build us up from clay. He pressed and rolled to become what you are now. He spun you to soften you, He burned you so that you would not crack and that you can be stronger. God put us through trials and tribulations in life to mould us to strenghten us. He put us through various experiences to go to greater heights in life with God. I looked back and I realised how much He has helped me to grow through so many things in life. The things I've been through has been a blessing to me, that I've become what He has made me.That He has brought me closer to Him.

Pastor Judah Cheah ended with Jeremiah 29: 11 "I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"

God knows what best and know what's good - which is like the story of the clay, He kept saying "no, not yet" Because He is fulfilling His plan upon us. He mould us in that way. I know my future is secure in His hands.

When I am weak, then I am strong

2007-12-15T21:33:00.000+08:00

Today Pastor Renee Bernett from Paradise Youth Community Church came and speak in our evening service and her message speaks right through my circumstances...

I had a deeper understanding of what God meant when He said when I am weak, then I am strong. She talked about thorns in our lives and how to live with them. The thorns she meant was our weaknesses and struggles in life. Firstly thorns are not intended to crippled us. She shared a story of her daughter as an example of what she meant. It goes like this, her daughter Georgia was playing the swing outside the yard when she swung and hit the rose bushes. A rose thorn was stucked to her toe. She was practically screaming, running around the house but she's not running to her mother or father. She was just yelling she's in pain and hysterically continued running. The father had to grab hold of her and asked her to stop, and said 'I know you're in pain but stop running around, we will fix it' She stopped and nodded.

So you see, sometimes we're like Georgia, when we face troubles we panic and began to worry, we run around to get away from it, struggling and wailing. And God will catch hold of us and tell us that whatever circumstances that might be, He will fix it. God will always be there so we shouldn't be afraid of the thorns. God says that He knows that we're in pain but He will mend it.

Secondly was that thorns or weaknesses holds no power unless we gave it power. Matthew 27 talks about Jesus having the crown of thorns. And that crown of thorns is to break the power of curse! She gave another story as an example of how the mind being so negative and gave it's weaknesses power. A guy Nick was locked inside the icebox. He thought he would have definitely died and couldnt survive the night. Because there's no one else there anymore and its freezing in the icebox. He had a pen and a paper in his pocket and so he began writing his farewells. The next morning, he was found dead of hypothermia. This disease is where someone died because of the freeze of the body. But the interesting thing was that the icebox wasn't even plugged in!!Which means the icebox is only on a normal temperature! I was amazed and surprised. The mind could be so negative and overpowered it's weaknesses.

The last thing is that we should learn to let God's power to inhabit our weaknesses. In 2 Corinthians 8-9, God says "My way is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect into weaknesses"

Pastor Renee used glasses as an example. She said that someone with poor eyesight would have to wear glasses, the weakness is that couldnt see clearly because of poor eyesight. But we could go to the optometrist and we can either wear glasses or contacts. Then we will be able to see clearly. Its the same with God. Our weaknesses are still there, it wont go away but God will hand us heavenly glasses and that, is the power to make the weakness strong.

And let's say one day you forgot to bring your glasses and asked to borrow someone else glasses. But still it wouldn't work, we wont see clearly! God has a special set for each one. And each one is not the same. What works for others might not work for us.

The main thing is that God turns our weaknesses into our strength and build us up. And how true that she said these weaknesses are not to cripple us! And she ended saying that all the people in the Bible had a problem and God used them mightily. Moses couldnt speak well but He led the people out of Egypt. Sarah and Abraham was old but its not that God make them instantly young, they are still old but Sarah had a baby. Mary had an unexpected pregnancy but the one who were born from her was the savior of the world.

I truly understand now how God kept my weaknesses there although I asked Him again and again to take them away and give me something stronger. But God said no, He will walk with me through my weaknesses. I'm weak in many things but now I know what God's intentions are. I couldnt hold back my tears when I heard this message. It was so meaningful and it speak right to me because I am having that kind of situation. I believe God had spoken to me and He assured me time and time again that I would not dwell just like that in my weaknesses but He will use me in His might.

Bubbly by Colby Caillat

2007-12-15T00:56:00.000+08:00

This song is Bubbly by Colby Caillat, Eugene sent me this song too. =) It's so relaxing and meaningful. Thanks again hehe (you definitely are getting me hooked up on music alot, i've never been so experimental with music)

I've been awake for a while now
you've got me feelin like a child now
cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglies in a silly place

It starts in my toes
and I crinkle my nose
where ever it goes I always know
that you make me smile
please stay for a while now
just take your time
where ever you go

The rain is fallin on my window pane
but we are hidin in a safer place
under covers stayin safe (*) and warm
you give me feelins that I adore

It starts in my toes
make me crinkle my nose
where ever it goes
i always know
that you make me smile
please stay for a while now
just take your time
where ever you go

What am I gonna say
when you make me feel this way
I just........mmmmmm

I've been asleep for a while now
You tucked me in just like a child now
Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin shows
Cause you make me smile
Baby just take your time now
Holdin me tight

Where ever, where ever, where ever you go
Where ever, where ever, where ever you go
Where ever you go, I'll always know
Cause you make me smile here, just for a while

I really like this song!!

2007-12-15T00:34:00.000+08:00

finally, after so long i feel a sudden emotion that brings me back to my poetic moments

When you walk in through that tiny door
Your presence brings a sense of inquisitiveness
I saw you standing there with warmth
That door began opening it's folds

And so I let the curiosity come in
It began filling the core of my heart
The knots that we began tying together
It's the wonder that lies beneath

When sometimes you disappeared from that door
Deep inside, my soul longs for the key
That I can hold it and unlock your heart
For the hearts that could be bind together

i wanted to write it longer but I just think that this says it all...

A Sagittarius~ that's me!!

2007-12-12T19:03:00.001+08:00

SAGITTARIUS WOMAN

A tall slim and graceful woman who walked proudly like she is walking in a beauty pageant competition. If she slips or nearly falls, she will nicely covered it up and continue with her graceful and impressive walking step. She knows how to use make up to enhance her beauty. She looks at the world positively, so her face always seem so happy. She will not get up set easily.

Self confident woman who belief in her own style. She will not follow fashion, but standing in between simplicity and too modern. She is a very open person, sometimes can be too blunt. She is an honest person and never try to cause troubles for any one.

She likes to say something that you do not want to hear and yet she can say something so pleasing at the same time. Example she may say "I wish you could make more money, so you could afford better cloth, but anyway it is better this way. If you make more money you could be thinking of money too much and become greedy". She can say such thing and make you wonder if you should get up set or love her more.

She is also a free spirit and does not like to stay home. She likes to be protected, but not to give her orders. She has no respect to a weak man. If she try to over powered you, then you have to calm her down and try to control her to be in a limit by doing the same thing too. She will listen if she respect you. She likes to be herself and like her guy to be himself.

She is a no nonsense woman, so you will not hear she says " Guess what I will do next", or "Guess what I am thinking" because she always say what she is thinking out loud like a guy. If you do not understand her in this matter, you could easily break up with her. She sees problems in her love life as another funny story.

She is clumsy and it is in her nature. You may think it is cute, but for some neat guys this could be so unbearable. She is very friendly, so she can easily turn her enemy to be her friends. She has good taste in fine cloths, good food, first class and first services. Even a poor woman in this Zodiac will struggle to afford such good taste. She could spent lots of money as if she can not understand how difficult it is to make money. If you think of let her borrow money, think again.
She is a paranoid. If she thinks you like her, she may already think about getting marry and lost her freedom and so on and on. A jolly woman who loves sports. She is an ordinary woman who could dress like a tomboy. She has more guy friends and sometimes could act like one of a guy. She does not care about rumors, so she can get home very late and couldn't careless what her neighbor will gossip about her. She thinks either good or bad, you will know it yourself , so you should not bother what people think.

Her wit and innocent look are her charms. She is often hurts from love, but never afraid to look for a new one as if she is singing "Do that to me one more time". She likes going straight and being straight forward. She will not go around to get what she wants, or beat around the bush just to say something. If you meet her and tell her straight what you think, she will admire you.

This songs speaks so much about me and where I'm standing. Thanks Eugene for sending me this song =)

On Fire by Switchfoot

They tell you where you need to go
They tell you when you'll need to leave
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be

But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire
When He speaks
You're on fire
Burning at these mysteries

Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be... (near You)

Cause everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take

When I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
And I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries
These mysteries...

I'm standing on the edge of me [x3]
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before.
And i've been standing on the edge of me
Standing on the edge

And I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
(Yea) I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries... these mysteries... these mysteries
Ah you're the mystery
You're the mystery

it's been like 2 months ago since my last blog, but then today, somehow there's something to write about (which my friend evon, said today is memorable must write down) LOL

okay how do i even start?this lecturer Ms N has been in my class close to 3 years. Well, everyday we've been complaining about her attitude, it's not that she's evil - she just have this somehow controlled and conservative mindset, a person who just wants it all her WAY. i mean like hello? you are the lecturer and you are suppose to be open-minded and able to receive people's ways and not just all about you.

and that FACIAL EXPRESSION!dude,her face turns black (i mean really black) wherever we propose our ideas. you can see her face changed completely and totally crashed my mood down. The day before her class, I could already feel the tense she's giving me. She became very sulky when she doesn't get things done her way. (Hey, she's 27!) And she's a freaking lecturer!!And she's acting like a big baby. Grow up! When we talk about certain topic, she just somewhat turn it around to say it her way. Arh, when me and my friends see her face, we totally don't have the mood to say anything already.

We told her we couldn't meet the deadline and seriously its damn hectic, six garments in 3 weeks?!!and with storyboard, accessories, illustration, portfolio?? KNOCK KNOCK!! get your head in larr...how are we suppose to finish all of that. okay fine she decided that we don't have to do the accessories part, dohhh it doesn't help at all okay? she have wasted the whole of november planning the accesories and now she want to cancel it lar?? man, she just burnt my 1 month's time into thin air. And last sem where we suppose to start our garments, she wasted the whole sem doing our 'less than 50 pages thesis' Again...time gone.

as a lecturer, aren't you suppose to estimate the time properly already, pushing us to do our work instead of coming in everyday to class, showed our progression just a little then proceed to chit-chat for like 3 hours? AGAIN! that's whole lot of time wasted.tsk tsk tsk she always say we can,we can...yea we can do it but can we just do it our way? we are final year students and we can manage already maa...u want to control everythin samore then forever we dunnit to finish lo?? like what gc said 'we went two steps ahead and she pulled us back to step one." like that really forever one step behind lo?

why is it always have to be her way? her mind really put in a small box never step out of the box ge lor....sigh...she always make us so tense, never stand at our position and think wan?
oh well, today we complained about her again to another lecturer Ms H...lols this lecturer darn farnee, she also talk together with us!and she also said that Ms N does not only treat students like that, even other lecturers. controlling and manipulating ethin. self-centered.

funniest was that Ms H said "aha now you know her attitude" omg even other lecturers also already know her attitude is like that. she even said that when you get too close to her then you know her well enough and will eventually began to drift away...i guess she have this slogan "its me, me and me. its my way or the highway" =.='

2007-10-21T01:56:00.000+08:00

sigh..really miss him. i felt something missing, cuz we din talk today. we usually do.

2007-08-12T01:14:00.000+08:00

its really wonderful talking to you..whether face-to-face or sms-es. its like i felt i have nothing to hide, i can just be myself. its comfortable talking and talk and talk so much with you. and there's just no ending.we could talk for so long and so much things to talk about!! maybe bcuz when two people who likes to talk, bcome like that lar ha ha ha. but at least we give and take. we listen and talk.talk and listen... =)

2007-07-21T22:31:00.000+08:00

I was in my own world.Restless.He noticed.

The moment came in silence
I was in my own world
My mind went blank and empty
Running through my brain

Words came in like a whirlwind
I don't know those words
But they came out from me
Where was I going?

I kept putting it together
Just couldn't take it all in one
It was revolving in my mind
I couldn't get a hold of it

sigh..where was i, really? why? i didnt pull nor let go.I just dont know.what was it?i heard something.i really hope i wont see that happening again.its gonna be really depressing.

i think its already breaking...>_<

2007-07-11T00:33:00.000+08:00

how long has it been? 3 months of internship and have gone through lots of things that cant be put into words.phew!

how do i even start? might as well leave it just as it is..in my thoughts...just TOO much. Life aint blog.haha

hmm..well,i've plan to start a blog on bridal wear because that's what i want to major in. So then i could post my designs there and receive views from people. I'm preparing a thesis for my finals and it's gona b a collection of bridal wear. yay!

one of the reasons i chose this major it's because, it's a joy to design for people getting married and marriage is the sweetest thing! I love to see the joy in these people, being on their best attire. the BIG day. =)

2007-03-06T00:00:00.000+08:00

Without realising..today is already my 5th day at work.Things were going pretty well for me and I'm starting to enjoy work as I adapted to the working environment,my colleagues and tasks that needs to be done.Oh well I did stock count to knickers and underwear on my 4th day of work and there are like hundreds of them,crazy!!I'm really quite getting the work now and its fun and with a bunch of funny and crazy colleagues,work is cool.hahahaha!

Today i attended another training class that is - CS.Stands for?Counter strike.Nah of course not! haha its Customer Service.Its a talk where we were trained how to serve customers and give excellent customer service.Its really quite useful and helped me to developed better in serving different kind of customers.Well,nothing much other than the usual serving customers today. But I get real satisfaction when customers are happy with my service,n what i've chosen for them,and bring the products they want to purchase to cashier counter!!It's really a joy to see my customers walk out with a happy mood!=D

Standing were - of course tiring when there are nt many customers,it's really boring.This is the time where sometimes I walked up to colleagues and talk (ha ha ha)bt not too long, my AM will start to look at us LOLs.both my store manager and assistant manager were really nice guys, were willing to teach and my assistant manager are ready to care for my needs and answer my doubts.YES he arranged morning shift for me on saturday so then after 6.30pm i'll be able to rush for TSF.And when he arranged me for a Sat off then I can attend both service and TSF.I really thanked God so much that now i'm adapting and enjoying work.

Thanks to Jesus!!Amen.!
I'm having off on Tuesday,not fixed which off day every week.But gona go hit the gym and watch movie.I shop for two pairs of shoes just now, after work.Ha ha one from Nose and one from Vincci.Oh yeah that day I got a real worth purchase from Kenzo perfume!They were having such a good promotion that i just couldn't resist.I bought Kenzo Amour 100ml free Kenzo Summer 75ml,Kenzo Summer body wash 150ml and one Kenzo Amour Miniature. All for rm290.Its really quite worth it as all these would costs about rm500 if it's at normal price. And i really like the smell of both Kenzo Amour and Summer!Even my hsemate decided to buy it after i showed him ahahha!!I've always always wanted a Kenzo perfume.When Kenzo Flower was out,I just couldn't bring myself to buy it as I was just okay with the smell and it wasn't on promotion.But finally THIS!!I love it and its worth it! YAYY

work work work!!KENZO rules.JESUS is the greatest!!

2nd day of work

2007-03-02T20:22:00.001+08:00

Phew~!2nd day of work and i feel like i've done a lot of things..tiring.I attended the 'new employee orientation' from 10am to 5.30pm.Its basically a talk to tell us about the company history,background,the garments,fabrications,etc etc.Well,I met several people from other outlets,other brands like Dorothy Perkins,Diva,Topshop KLCC etc. And we had group activites in which I joined up with two girls frm Topshop KLCC (waiting SPM results) and a girl younger than me a year from Ms.Selfrigde MV.Its kind of interesting to know that all this brands are together under DNP Sdn Bhd and that we are a family.Yoshinoya is also under DNP!ALL one 2gther haha

The talk was quite useful, but i felt sleepy at times.my assistant manager and another colleague also attended the course with me.Really sleepy..haha.Communications with other colleagues raised up a bit better,hpfuli will get better in the near future.Some of 'em jz wouldn't bother abt me greeting them,smiling at them (as though I'm a freak) I got along well with the 2 girls frm topshop KLCC bt dey r nt wrkin wit me!!And the girl frm Ms.Selfridge too.We had lunch 2gther today and got along pretty well.Oh and also the supervisor frm Ms.Selfridge.psstt...i'm adapting 2 da uniform.. >_<

My assistant manager is a real nice guy...haha(nvm,he's nt gona find my blog,wayy too impossible!)I have only one problem right now..i'm working 6 days a week and my off-days are all weekdays.I wouldn't be able to go church on saturdays...i talked to my AM today.. probably he could arrange for me to have morning shift on saturdays,at least I will be able to attend TSF altho I won't be able to attend the service.But I didnt want to beg/force him because I know its the company policy and they are very strict with us and our schedule. So I told him it's all right (i'm wrkin noon shift tomoro).I'm not sure if he cld arrange 4 me 4 the following weeks.

O Lord,give me strength and patience each day and wisdom to do your work and your will!
As long as I have Jesus with me,I will not be afraid of anything,anyone and never give up.
Thank God.Amen. =)

first day at work

2007-03-02T00:50:00.000+08:00

Today,first day of work...getting an uniform one size smaller is obviously un-flattering.Uhh, hope that next uniform will be better!Anyways,working at Topshop,they have two new uniforms every week.Before starting my afternoon shift,we will usually have a briefing from the manager.Oh wow 1st day of work,other sales coordinators got some "advice" from the manager haha about punctuality,absence and stuff.The people there,I'm not sure to say nice or not?Cuz not much chance to talk..we have our own departments to take care of.I guess they are all nice, haha shld take more time.Not very talkative I say,i aso don have chance to TALK!(aih..God,help me please)
I realised Topshop is very very big company,including its partnerships its really a huge production.However the manager is quite nice, seems willing to train me and the supervisor also quite nice...(i think the manager is quite strict) bt i dont blame him,he has a lot of people under him and working with him,if he's not stern then people would not follow his orders.
Anyways,what I did today (sigh,its sales)..which is I have to help push sales target and serve customers with manners,smile,greetings,..encouraging them to buy and etc etc.its really boring when there are no customers,and you stand there doing nothing (which then I started walking to my colleagues and talk,and examining how they sew the garments) >_< hpfuli will have better communication with my colleagues.(its first day!!) I sometimes make the blur face when my manager tells me something and he ended up looking at me very blur as well ha ha ha ha sry dude. XD XD

Tomoro i'll be attending 'new employer orientation' from 10am to 6pm.Wah i have to exercise my ears.bt its kind of interesting that i wrk from bottom and meet a lot of diff kinds of people..

ah..sleepylar..nites ppl.

Internship

2007-02-28T23:41:00.000+08:00

Finally after much weeks of anticipation and waiting..the internship company called me for confirmation.Suddenly called me today(while I was in the cinema!)asking me to work tomorrow. Wah so freaking sudden,i was shocked.Anyways,I will be working at Topshop,Midvalley. Great its near my place.I have to work as promoter and take care of the store stuff first though before I could proceed further.I think it is important for me to know how the store runs beforehand. Thank God I worked as promoter before,if not I guess I'll be panicking right now HAHA!! Really praying that I'll get good boss,good colleagues and good communication haha yeah~~

2007-02-12T20:21:00.000+08:00

Yay Judah and Xiao's wedding was fantastic~!!Xiao was ever so pretty and Judah(ah-hem) looks real good wahaha

anyways,me n my 2 other friends slept over at Xiao's the day before the wedding.And i also accompany Xiao to do her manicure and pedicure.(I tell you,its comfort man!)
Many relatives and friends came to her hse that night,and we felt kind of ackward because we just couldn't blend it.I mean the relatives - how to talk lar?LOL there are many good foods~!!and xiao's family is so warm towards us. I think about 11 somethin,we got kind of tired and went up for bath and gonna sleep.Then Xiao came up,and we gave her luxury!!what is it?haha massage - three of us massage for her haha (laee..bride-to-be, we give anything she wants) hehe

Tomorrow morning suppose to wake up at 5.30am..hm..but the bride still lazing on the bed~ The make-up artist was late anyways.But Charlene and Marcus were here by 6.15am already.Ate breakfast then the make-up artist came at about 6.45am - i think~!Just before she could put finishing touches to Xiao's hair,POOF~!the electricity went out.gosh it was so hot!and we had to borrow electricity from next door - using extension wires for the standing fan. Probably about 9am, the groom and his 'heng tais' is here already.Gehe time for the games~!!! however we couldn't play too long as the bride is so heat up (o i mean its hot and reali couldn't stand so long)

O well,first we asked them to sing CNY song, and they couldn't sing~!!LOL ok at least these words came out 'Gong Xi, Gong Xi, Gong Xi.... =_=' Then asked them to sing love songs! this should be easier right...and the best man Arnan sang an indian song which we 'chi muis' couldn't understand a single word.and we requested must sing in english!Alright in the end, ONLY YOU came out.haha and sing until didn't want to stop even when we said stop (too into it already) haha!

Lastly,to prove their sincerity we asked them to put on lipsticks and kiss as much as they can to fill up several papers.haha one of them was forced to put lipstick on him but he didnt want to! in the end,also have to, time is running out.And some of them did willingly put on lipstick and kiss on the papers LOL~!!this is not so bad !after that,give one big angpow XD XD

hahahahah after some singing and words in front of the bride's doors, finally DOORS open and the lovely couple came down for tea ceremony.

Was really really really happy for Xiao.I guess when she walks down the aisle, i felt tears streaming down it was so touching~!!my beloved CG leader,even now u are in YC,but i will always miss you and will definitely keep in touch~!!still same church wert!hehehehe lots lots of love muaxxx

p/s will post pics soon

2007-02-08T16:47:00.000+08:00

Xiao Wen and Judah, bride-to-be and bridegroom to-be, tying the knot on 10th Jan 2007.. =)

A friend dedicated this song to them...And the lyrics goes like this - - -

A brand new day
For you and me
In this place as husband and wife
We'll be holding on
'Till we grow old
Together forever and ever

I promise you
That I'll please you
With my endless love and passion
And I will never leave you

This is a journey that will never end
We'll have our children names Jeremy and Felicia
We'll have a beautiful house
With a bench and apple tree

I know this sounds too much
But this is a brand new day

2006-06-09T21:03:00.000+08:00

months since i ever blogged - ha!

been reli busy for the past semester,rushing for my final project - a mini fashion show cum exhibition and plus planning on movin out from hostel to another place.

felt like time reali flies by fast.here i am now, had a sort of successful mini fashion show, it went great despite sleepless nights,pressure and mad-like rush.Thank God!During my relaxing time in hometown, waited for my sis to find a place for us to stay. I read a book Big Stone Gap. a long story but its interesting and boring in certain parts.i finished it anyway and its a good book, i realised a lot of things about life and people.I also managed to meet up with my ex-classmates.

On 1st june, my friend sms-ed me,told me to go to class for advanced diploma. i wasnt even ready for that and i havent settle down in KL yet.So there i was, struggling to choose between TARC and Raffles Institute.the latter had very interesting offers, telling me my diploma is recognized and that i could continue adv dip - transfer my credits and they had interesting subjects. Raffles had a recognition that attracts me. however, i felt like stayin in tarc cuz its more affordable, my gang is there, i kind of stuck to my lecturers, the ppl i connect with, the environment that i've got so used to. and i want to make it happen in TARC although its not as prestigious as raffles. somehow i actually like not-so-famous stuffs.haha. i thought about working with Peter Hoe, a batik-designer, he's not a very famous designer but i liked him and his design personality.

felt like i actually could make something out of tarc with my friends there too. believe it or not, we only got 5 students continuing adv dip.the rest had left either working or slacking. i seek for God's guidance and finally i decided to stay with tarc. they had a new lecturer - 10 yrs experience in UK.wow?

i'm pretty excited abt startin adv dip.its like a whole new era for me. i went late a week and assignments had been pouring in and now i'm trying to catch up. i didnt miss much, thanks to the Lord, that i want to start 2 discpline my studies and assignments.i want to make the best out of it,i'll try.

btw ppl, i hv moved to Millenium Condo, Dataran Millenium near to Asia Jaya LRT station. many ppl asked me why i moved so far away. i guess its ok that i had to travel every day - my coursemates are all from KL and now i get to travel with them everyday and my friend is pretty excited too that we r goin coll 2gether n takin e lrt bc together. its kind of fun. hehe i gonna miss life in tbr too, my frens r mostly gone now from tbr too. i had a great time in tbr haha!

ciaoz.till then.

its not about him after all.its me.things got completely out of control and i broke down - this time really really broke down.i just needed someone to talk things over and i called up my great bro...he listened and so caring - and he prayed for me over the phone - i was really grateful, i felt so much better after that.i continued doing my work. if it wasn't ytd nite tat we talked,i would feel like almost dying.i guess i was overworked.too MANY things.

however,i got really sick this morning.i had fever last nite,ate panadol and it subsided.bt tis morning i had terrible sore throat and flu.it was unbearable at first.after that i took bread for breakfast then swallowed Strepsils regular. right now i've already taken 2,and my throat is a bit better.and my nose is no longer stucked.i prayed to God for healing and i know He will,i'm slowly recovering.Thank God so much!!thanks to my caring bro too...i'm so grateful to have him through this.

hopefully i will be able to settle everything before taiping camp...i really want to enjoy myself and take a break from all the workload in coll.

2005-12-03T02:35:00.000+08:00

the amount of work I need to do is just crazy and overwhelming...crazier than anyone could even think of. and there's one point of time where I actually felt so much like breaking down. i sat alone in one corner and just wander off - drawing things that hopefully could just take away all the distress i'm experiencing.but did it?no, really i just couldn't take my hands off the paper - really really really hope that it will go away and that i don't have to think so much and so much to do.

i tried to control my tears. things got only a little bit better and i still have like a million things to do and so little time. one thing i have - faith. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. God is the only one I held on and that kept me strong until today and forever. i dont know how to describe the things i need to do.. firstly assignments have already kept my hands busy plus in-charge of design in CF christmas night [alot needs to be done on time] plus serving and fga tpg camp is coming up.I'm really looking forward to seek God even deeper there. A break from all things but Him. I'm grateful to dedicate all things in the Lord's hands and for His glory. I may not be in control but He is in control.

Even now as i type, i felt like crying my heart out. It's just outrageous how many things need to be done and I have like a week to complete - or maybe only 4 days.

I stopped for approx 3 mins
Cause I drop something
Diamonds falling like rain
I caught hold and went on

Tears have begun to fall down. i could go on but sometimes i felt so afraid. i am seriously busy until i dont have time for myself and i'm struggling,striving to set aside a time for God. well..here i am, spending some time to blog!a lil thing to do 4 myself. i came back at about 6pm and slept like there's no tomorrow until 1.30am. crazy me. now i'm awake and goin to do all the things i'm suppose to do later.

i dont know - is it my time management?or..?i have aredi divide my time - things becoming more consistent than last time and I praised God for all my assignments have improved tremendously. Growth coming in, expectations rising, responsibilities coming up. well i need to be MORE than ever consistent?yea.yea. i let out a sigh of - relief or stress? sigh...sigh...i felt so lazy right now but i still want to continue doin my things cuz i couldn't just let go of all things - if not, i will not be able to go on anymore.

i managed to do some things for myself last 2 days - but thats also part of assignment....on Thu i went over to 'Semua House' near jalan masjid india street to buy beads,ribbons,flowers for a group assignment. Then went for a sleep over at my friend's hse in Cheras - to do e group assignment as well. we had a good time laughing and talking. today went there again to get things 4 assignment and bought some things for myself too. some things for christmas too. i dont even have time to go for christmas shopping!arhh...this month i must plan my finance well cause quite some cash to spend on certain things.

i hardly stay in room...i always go in the room for like about 15 mins then i'm out again for long long hours. my mate's bf came over sometimes said that i came in e room den i was busy doin my things - dont even have time to sit down!yea i told him,yea i'm very busy. ha-ha. the only time i'm in room is durin the night...but this week i hardly stay in my own sweet room...sigh..!mm...i better not waste anymore precious time! -jk- haha i nit do work on my assignments and things 4 CF christmas night. my friend just sms-ed me askin y i din go CF 4 so long and i din attend hostel CG. i want to go but 2 bz...i miss hostel CG!i used to go most of the weeks!i like it there...haih

home fellowship really felt like a home to me!beautiful and lovely environment and wonderful people! =)

its been really supa-dupa long since i blogged...felt lazy to actually blog to express myself.well, here i am again.HA HA.????

semester started, week 5...TONS of assignments and exams for 4 subjects. Gotta work real hard,man.i'm workin to be more consistent of all my assignments. there's this subject -computer aided design- but hah guess what?we dont have the resources for it (TARC).there's only one software in one comp,only one keylock...that costs about U$75,000!! which leads to -doing work MANUALLY. since like abt 18 of us cant jump on only one comp, we had to do it the manual way, which means draw,draw,draw n color,color,color.phew!

somehow work has gotten me far from God's presence. Have to exercise on my faith and continue seeking Him! been thinking a lot, abt friendships & relationships.And also scratching my head, dont know where to go after dip. I'll just see where God puts me and i'll be there. overall, things are going pretty well but life ain't easy.Always hang on! Thank God for all things possible, assignments that has been goin good, and wisdom for great designs!Amen! For the past 4 weeks, every saturday i've been overnight at someone's place.tired. oh yeah the H20 promo video!now i realise how hard it is to be an actress/actor. H20 is a real good event, hopefully can invite my one team of friends to go!it'll be lots of fun!

i have this wood carving tools but yet to be touched! my friend says she could get unwanted woods for me!yay i can carve,finally!for the past 2 weeks, went to midvalley's cinema watched Corpse Bride, Zorro 2 & Chicken Little! wow, all movies are thumbs up!lovee it haha!Today went to midvalley and got to snap all the windows displays that i need for wednesday's class project. hm,i guess till here,i stop?nth anymore i think gagagagga!

In my hometown now..I had a small reunion with my schoolmates ytd, it brings back memories...and today I flipped through my secondary stuffs and suddenly realised how secondary days was so much fun!Creeping out of classes, eating in class, fooling around haha all those mischiveous stuffs we did!Teachers, sweet & boring ones, classes, recess, things that I used to do, things that me and my friends shared...wow its unforgettable!Its gonna be such a long long long neverending story to talk about my life in secondary!Sweet & bitter ones, A LOT!I guess many people feels that way too, we kind of looked back and it's just beautiful. I love drawing,writing & reading in school and I always does that when I felt bored in class!I got caught once and the teacher grab my storybook!It was one of the Malory Towers series from Enid Blyton!Yipes!How I wish I still have my friends around...but we are all leading our own ways now, though I still keep in touch with them but its never gonna be the same anymore.

I seldom go home and now that I'm home, I want to talk to my mom more but sometimes, its so hard?I dont know, i'm very close to my mom cuz my dad's not here anymore and mom is the only one I've got.I want to be able to share more with my mom. I do tell my mom things and she does the same but then there's just something missing.I want mom to know how much I loved and cared for her.Although I'm not at home most of the time. Yeah, i want to talk to mom!!Mom is the sweetest thing on earth...yes.I must talk to my mom more.I want to spend more time with her.=)

Oh btw, while i was waiting for my cousin to pick me up ytd, i went to popular bookstore.And I bought Archie comics, it was really worth it. Two for RM7.90!!its much more worth it than those that I've bought!Yay!I bought two sets. Archie comics actually helped me to improve my illustration lae...i love to draw, i want to improve my illustration skills tis sem break and also my sewing!hehehe yeah!Its so darn hot in taiping nowdays....arh..have to get my bath now and homecook lunch!!ahh...homecook food has never tasted better!Yumm yumm!

visited two person's blogs today and both gave an impact in my heart there and then

yeah..meet ppl's expectations bt God's?More precious & nothing could replace it, more important...

read ur blog grace and it does felt so - i dont know how to describe but i seem to understand what you are goin through and sometimes i'm goin through the same situations as you..rush of waters came down,if u know what i mean?because it so happens when i was reading it, i was going through something too,and i broke down.

found my own problems that leads me to - doin miserable work and terribly done
probs..i worry too much[altho i tried nt to],i get nervous,i delay and in the end rush for it
must change all these....really trying..by God's grace!sometimes i'm care-free..which [ah..] cause me to delay [huh]

ps.michael koh's message was deep...but he made me realise things in my life.it was strong.i always fall into confusion- yeah really but through all that i learned to be stronger than EVER.
i broke down many many times this sem...so many things that i just couldn't control.couldn't catch up...
God is in full control of everything and I commit all things in Your hands.I surrender every single thing to You God.I seek You Father.Amen

2005-08-15T03:06:00.000+08:00

kind of said the wrong thing to my fren, i think it hurt pretty badly..but i didn't really meant it that way.And someone did say the same thing to me too, but i just dont understand how come i can be okay about it and my fren cant.ahh..why ah?is it me?hm...

anyway,jus wan to post this poem...something i wrote in a boring english class [again!] i wasn't really listening to the tutor so this is what came out..

As the voice runs through
I began to wander
The voice slowly recedes
Wandering away in my own world

I can't even hear anymore
Just the images of my dream
Going away and further
As far as I could go

But I can see more
Images of togetherness
Appeared in my mind
So closely knitted

With eyes wide open
That voice didn't matter
I just dreamt away
Tuning into a faraway land

It goes on and on
I stayed even longer
Something strucked me
I had to be strucked

Still havent complete my assignments yet!!haih....tomoro have to start sewing suddenly feel so lazy~!reli sort of sick with the environment...

ZzzZzzZz

2005-08-03T21:37:00.000+08:00

On a boring 2 hours English class plus 1 hour replacement class I...

Here I settled down
But deep dissastifaction fills in
The voice gives pain
Unbearable pain

Within I closed my hearing
The voice still tingles around
I blinked and blinked
Hoping to just shut my eyes

It continued for hours
I couldn't stand it anymore
My lips sealed but not that
Sitting down froze to the source

I was practically working till past midnight a day before orientation night.Thank God my lecturer helped me with the sewing.I worked till 4.30am in the studio,only 3 of us left there.In the end managed to finish and went home feeling so darn tired and sleepy.Woke up at about 9.30am cuz i need to go Jusco to get my accessories for my model.Been rushing around Jusco and got a pair of casual shoes,a necklace & a bracelet!Back to studio,i went directly to the backstage to give the stuffs to my model.Thanks agnes for helping me to sew the pants hook!!i was exhausted when i reached the college hall.oh well my model liked the stuffs i bought,good~!i think it suits him pretty well and even my garment suits him~!yay finally the whole piece is completed!!and my model wore the whole suit for me to see and it looks good~~!haha juz some sewing mistakes here and there lahh~~!but i'm so proud of everyone in my class DFD 2,everyone did such a good job that i myself didnt believe i actually sew a garment~!WOW fantastically incredible i can say!we held on to each other and helped each other,made it through,made it this far and made it!!!YEAHHHHHHHHH~!!i'm impreSsEd!!

the orientation starts at 6pm and by then we were already backstage,ready to dress the models up for the fashion show.too bad we missed the catwalk.=/ after that we went on stage for some credits [haha] for our sweat & blood hard work lol..~!then we sat in front watching the rest of the show.my model played the guitar,it's really awesome.
Guess what,my model won first runner up~!!phew!i was SO happy!didnt expect him to win but he won!!WOW!! yeahhhhhhh cant describe the excitement~!my friend's model is the champion which i think he really deserves it so i'm very happy for him,too!!wow its jus amazing.but i felt sad for others...they really did so well!i'm proud of all of them,they are just fabulous!

today e work is fine,but there's this thing that i'm not happy about.not goin 2 talk it over here.i dont know...e person that i thought could listen to me,was i wrong?instead other ppl were more concerned about my happenings rather than..yeah.i'm so sorry.

God,give me strength to go on each day as i work.Thank you Lord for being there all the time.i'm tired but knowing that you are working with me i'm glad.

He has made me glad
He has made me glad

Standing here in the midst of us
As we worship build your throne
And as we worship,build your throne

THE BIG DAY!!!
Saturday 2/07/05

8am-9am
Got this boring English class with Chris aka. Lehtew

9am-10am
Went back hostel to pack for the Genting trip

10.15am
Ms Nadeane,Ms Hariza & Mr.Jamal arrange us in groups.we’re going to buy fabrics!!YAY~!well,I sat in ms.nad’s old car [which is as old as her] haha I don’t mind really, u know,I I just love old stuffs. =)
We chit-chat in the car and ms.nad is just so COOL. Like a big sister, but she calls us her “children” hehe~!the moment we reached PEOPLE TEXTILE SHOP, I was so fascinated by all the fabrics there [practically walking round n round checking out!] me and my partner chose A LOT of fabrics for our patchwork and I manage to get denim with 2 diff washes.i’m goin to sew denim~!!!yikes?yay??YAY!!haha~! we spent nearly 4 hours there..choosing,confirm,cutting…paying..i was getting so tired,my legs are killing me~! Huh! In the end, I got 2 denim, 3 cotton fabrics[including my camouflage fabric~~!!!WOW~!] then we head over to MCD’s to get our lunch.

3.15pm
I quickly finished my lunch and rush to pasar seni station. My bus to genting is at 4pm. I was quite late,so I had to rush. Thank God I manage to reach on time. My sis n her frens were already there. We manage to get place in the bus[phew!]I was sleeping the whole time in bus….i was really really tired n sleepy!

4.30pm
Reached genting skyway station.Reached genting about 5pm. Then we went to first world hotel if there’s any room – no hope FULL HOUSE. They asked us to come again and check at 7pm.so we walked around while waiting. Went to Sinma and got myself 2 pair of earrings,one tribal necklace n a beaded bangle. Love it~! after that we went to have dinner at “Only Mee’’…one bowl of mee rm9.50.!!?!?!?!?!?! I shared wit my sis. We did check the rooms at 7pm but still – full hse.huh. so we got no place to stay~!

7.30pm
we got in the concert hall.cant wait- I felt so nervous haha~!i’m in Leehom;s concert and watching him perform LIVE~![finally!]HOW COOL`!!The concert then began at 8pm. Leehom came out at 8.15 – intro slide presentation of his journey in music. Then dancers and opening song was fang kai ni de xing. He sang a lot of numbers, it was a 3 hour concert~!i always grab the opportunity to run in front and see him face-to-face haha!!i could really see him up-close,yea he’s so good-looking~!the concert is leehom’s but its also about the band and the dance band. They are SOO COOL~!!!the band rawks~!so was the dance bad,they were just HOT!!i also kept an eye on his garments, he got really nice garments. “a fashion eye~’’ I loved his dressings and his hair!!

I think its too much to describe though…haha!i can only say that this concert is SO worth it and it is superb~! It’s not just leehom’s appearance but he got talent~! He played the keyboard, grand piano, drum, violin and the er-hu. It was really marvelous!!
He even compose a ‘thank you’ song to us on the spot!!!!his voice is truly remarkable.

2005-06-28T12:41:00.000+08:00

Hopefully can finish by today.Thank God He took away all my worries,i meant ALL.well,its not much a big deal,as i've mentioned earlier,v do learn things the hard way.I think Ms.Nadeane[my lecturer] is so cool and i still she is now.She's HOT.not as in HOT hot la...she's just cool!We actually chit-chat today,which we sometimes do.We can practically talk abt anything at all,from movies to dramas to sewing to fashion even gays n lesbians!!WOW.How cool can tat be?I seriously kind of look up to her too other than any other lecturers.She might be fussy at times but thats just tat,she did e'thin for our good.

Wherever i think of you

Getting rid of me once and for all?
Just because of that incident
That is not much big deal?
