A life full of colours...

Have you been in situations where you feel caught in between 2 friends?
When you really wanted to say something but you know it'll hurt the other person?
Yet you really hope they both will be alright...

Times like this reminds me that I'm blessed to know that I have our Father to turn to and friends who would remember me in prayer.

I sure hope that my friends will know how amazing God can be and He can help to share the burden of their problems.

All you need is childlike faith to believe that He is God!
Yes, it's just so simple.
Just believe and accept Him with open arms!

Woke up to smthg really funny this morning!!

Chew Hui Ann - Baby is with me in Cardiff
9 hours ago ·


Got a FB msg from her asking why he called me dude?
When I saw what she posted, in my mind I went, awwwww... I felt protected and loved! Sweet yet funny!
So you see, this is Miss Chew Hui Ann!
So blessed to have met her here!! 1 more reason to love Cardiff XD

And on the same day, Joanne came over to give me something.

So sweet of her, said it's my belated birthday present!!

My banana cake is in the oven now. It's not cooked at all=(
*fingers crossed* Hope it'll still turn out well!

The Malaysian Society Cardiff University held our annual Cardiff European Games today. After winning the best society award last year, they sure are raising the bar each time they organize an event.
I was impressed that a lot of Universities participated this year. 38 futsal teams if I'm not wrong. And some flew all the way from France to participate. Quite cool right?

Initially I didnt want to go today. Wanted to do some work but *tsk tsk* went in the end. Wan Jinn asked me to help her to sell food at her stall as Cindy and her were volunteering for the event and Patrick would need a hand at the stall.

The stall sold soya bean and cincau, fried mee hoon and finger food stuff like chicken nuggets, fried wantan, spring rolls and prawn toast.
The soya bean was so good cause it was freshly made!! Good stuff=)
The beans were soaked, boiled, blended, mixed with water, filtered and boiled again. Quite a tedious process but the effort was definitely paid off cause everyone enjoyed the drink :)
So good and fresh that the wife of the Malaysian Students Department's Director wanted to tapao back to London!! She said that you cant get this taste in London!! *such a compliment =D*
So yeah, credit goes to Wan Jinn, Stanley, Yiew yiew and Nath for helping in the process of making the soya bean!!


Yasha was over last night and I took a bit of cincau for him to try. He enjoyed it and at the spur of the moment, he wanted to eat something Asian. Told him that sushi would be closed then (almost midnight) but told him that Wan Jinn, Wei Han, Cindy & Patrick were cooking fried mee hoon. I asked whether he wanted to try some and so Yasha was our first customer!! =D

Our fried mee hoon didnt see well today cause competition was so tight. Our neighbours were selling nasi dagang, nasi lemak and nasi kerbau (smthg like that). Their rice smelt and looked so good... *really yum yum* It seriously draws you by your nose to their stall.
We didnt have such a good time selling at the start but in the end we sold them real cheap with the fried finger food and thankfully, we cleared the big pot before coming home.

The food sale definitely helped polish some of my business skills and I've learnt how to make fresh good soya=)
On top of that, the process of cooking food and making drinks have bonded me with my friends and it was a time of good company & fun!

Yiew yiew has been so helpful throughout the whole food making process. Wan Jinn would have had a harder time without her and Cindy who helped toast the finger food and cut carrots.
2 blenders were spoilt in the process of grinding the beans. Only found out when I got back from the ICAEW talk yesterday evening and found Stan beside the blender all evening long. It was really funny to see such a 'bear' patiently grinding beans next to a small blender.
Wei Han helped to cook mee hoon with Patrick and he came back quite late this morning. Bless him!
And Nath as usually had been really nice and helpful. He helped a bit with making soya, mopped the floor last night and even went there to help today.
Scott and Pearly helped out for a bit at the stall too.
So blessed to have all these ppl helping :) :) :)


Me, Patrick and Wan Jinn

Ps: Dont you think the CEG poster is nice??
Looks very creative to me but someone took credit for something he didnt even do... I feel for that friend of mine who has helped twice and the person took credit for my friend's work. But it's okay, God knows our every action and our reward is in heaven, not on earth!

Today made me feel so old. I felt really tired after it was over.
Is it true that age catches up slowly after turning 21? Lol... It's probably just me.

A doctor told me that people around my age should have at least 6-8 hours of sleep every night. I've always been intrigued by the fact that babies need so much sleep every day. I think they sleep for at least 12 hours but as we grow older, we need less sleep. Will google why but I think only our creator can answer the question.

Okay, going off to bed now.. zzzzz

Good night!

It's 0125 and I want to sleep.
But I am still wide awake. Probably was the　毛尖　that I drank at 11pm.
Contemplating whether should I go to JH to use the computer there? Cant log on some database from home.

Just a short update.
This week's my last week of the term. Self declared holiday yesterday and today cause I thought I deserve a short break after my Management Accounting & Control essay which I submitted on Tuesday =) And if I took a break after Friday, it might just be a long long break cause there wouldnt be any more lectures. So I hope I'll get back into my momentum of doing work on Friday. *sure hope this strategy works*

Had tea with Ann, Eunice, WanTing, Chia Chee and Yae Kee this afternoon. Ann baked muffins and mash potatoes. Glad to have spent time with the girls, especially WanTing, who came over after that ♥
(pics with Ann)

Just felt like sharing the 2 most important girls to me in Cardiff!

This is Miss Chew, Hui Ann.
I've probably not mentioned who she is but she's one AMAZING girl. I'm very blessed to have her here with me.
I truly admire how she juggles things in life and she's been a great encouragement to me!


And this is Sha Sha. To me, she's one in a million. I've never got along with a China Chinese girl so well before. Not like I know a million chinese girls, but she's just different, 与众不同!
She's going to Egypt with 男人 and LiXue on Friday and that's sure gonna be a torture for me!

I ♥ them both and they mean a lot to me! Cant express how blessed I am to have them in my life!!

I'm feeling quite happy now. Dont think I'll get sleep soon.

ps. I'm happy to be able to type Mandarin words in my comp now. A bit noob but better late than never...hehe..

I dont know why I'm feeling happy now but I sure am looking forward to tmr and Friday and my 3 weeks break =D

Cheers!

This week passed by in another blink of eye to me.
It's been quite a happening week, both good and bad.

Week was well spent doing my tutorials and I finally stepped into Cardiff Castle. It's quite empty inside and I sure think it's not worth the 7.50 quid you pay to get in. And there's like a disco inside too... weird ey? A disco inside a castle...

There's this Uncle from church who had a stroke last Friday. He's suffering from a brain haemorrhage and is in critical condition now. This happened so suddenly and I myself find it hard to comprehend. I remember vividly that he was talking to someone else last week and overheard him saying that bank cashiers dont like receiving so much coins.
And Cherry and Connie's mother passed away very suddenly last Friday.

Life is so vulnerable. We really must be thankful for every new day. His mercies are new every morning=)
I really hope my loved ones would be saved before that unfortunate day!

Another thing is that I've decided to not teach Sunday school for 2 weeks to concentrate on my coursework.
Told my students and they asked why? And the 2 naughtiest ones were super guai.
Some conversations went:'Shut up, this is not an argument class' - super touched.
And both of them tried to control the class for me today.
Now they're making me miss them...

Hope Uncle Kim wakes up soon and looking forward to a brand new week!
