A life full of colours...

It's been a long time since I posted anything here.. Guess that was mainly due to my final exams during mid April. Then I went for a trip with my grandfather (gong gong) and aunty (yi yi) to Shan Tou, China. Well, I wasnt there for fun, but to take care of my gong gong and yiyi. I had fun when playing with my little niece and her cousins. Although I was walking alone in 'Li Dao', the highlight of the trip was playing in the bubble thing. Had lots of seafood during my trip till I had a stomach upset...

I want to upload the pics I took this semester but I forgot to save them in my pendrive and I think Edmond should have reformated my laptop by now..

This week has it's up and downs for me. Nevertheless, I hope that this is the trials that God has to mould me to become the child he wants me to be..

By the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23

Last Wednesday was the last CF meeting for this semester. I had a great time, although it wasnt smthg I really anticipated. I just felt that I've just got to know them and now.... it's just a lil too fast for me to absorp everything.. It's ok, God has a plan for me and I just want to surrender all into His hands..

(: - this is how i feel now

I woke up to this

Breakfast cooked and prepared by Timothy & Linda
and totally made my day=)

Btw, Timothy and I came over to Linda's place last night and we had a good time catching up with each other.



Had a wonderful Mexican dinner at Uncle Rodney's place last night with Eric, Dosie, Nathan and Brendan. The chocolate cake was simply delicious=)

After dinner and on the way to Linda's place, I got this text msg:

C: Where u going so late?

Me: I thought I told you I was going to Linda's place.

C: U going with who? Sorry....

Me: Timothy

C: Who Timothy?

Me: My NS friend.

C: Y u out with him?

Me: Cause we're going to Linda's place. Spending the night over there (Timothy at
Richard's place)

C: eeee, Y he join also...

Me: cause we have other friends too. There's a drunk guy in the train now.

C: Y is a drunk guy next to u? With u guys issit?

Me: Near me... In d train.. A lil scared but Timothy's with me.

C: Ok... Take care ya? Timothy is good or not?? *was laughing already*

Me: Haha.. I just showed him the msges u sent.. Yea, I trust him...

C: Aih.. Y u show....

Besides C, my mummy called a number of times. Not good to travel late, but good to let someone know where you are and go with a friend=)
*dont you think I seem to have 2 mummies now??? lols*

It was Good Friday yesterday..
Hope it was a time where we reflected on God's love and graciousness to send His son that His blood bring salvation and life to us, sinners of this world....

Today's the 19th of March. This means my final exams are approaching and the semester is coming to an end... This semester seemed to pass and go by so quickly, real fast!

At times, I would wonder whether will people remember me in future? How would they remember me? Have I left footprints in their lives? At this age, people come and go in our lives, but have I done my part in sharing about the Word? Have I shown a reflection of Christ within me? Have I been a friend to someone who's in need? I know I have failed many times, I may not have noticed or been sensitive to those around me, especially when I'm busy and occupied with something else, and I realized that I am easily annoyed this semester...

Nevertheless, despite all my weaknesses, I know God has made me special and unique in his sight, for I am his creation. I thank God for leaving footprints in my life and for my family and friends. I have learnt to cast all my cares at His feet, for I know He has plans for me and my future is in His hands. Doing so, I have peace within me and less worries =)

Two friends called me out of the blues last night. When I received the second call, I felt touched and happy(yes, I feel happy easily), thinking 'Wow, not bad, my friends occasionally still thinks of me'. Earlier in the evening, Christina asked Sherene and I a question today, "Do you think money will buy happiness?" Happiness, maybe, but how long would that last? Joy, definitely no! It's something like a simple phone call, be it a long distance or local call that brings joy and brightens my day (:

May God put a smile in your heart and fill it with love and joy today!!!!

I had to fill an application form this week and it made me realized how blessed I am. I had my daddy to help me with my application on which he gathered much information for me, I thank God for my scholarship which adds as a big bonus, and Shi for sharing and telling me the main points I should focus in my application.

I believe everything will turn out fine, I am sure that God will provide for me=)

I want to post a lot of pics, but the hostel internet wouldnt let me do so... Well, just have to wait till I go home in May....

My last week of being 19...
Dont really like the idea of my age starting with 2...

I went to the National Leprosy Centre last Saturday at Sungai Buloh and it was a new experience for me. Those who are in the serious stage of leprosy will slowly lose their sense of touch and their nerves will not function. Their fingers will shrink, and eventually, disappear....

Bo Eing wanted to give me a surprise on Tuesday night but I found out eventually, not fun at all!!! But it's the thought that counts, the company and the quality time=)

I did a silly mistake on Wednesday night. I made arrangements with 2 speakers for CF meeting... Gosh, felt so terrible about my carelessness.... MaLU!!!

I wanted to donate blood yesterday but my blood pressure was a lil low, so couldnt... A little bit disappointed

During CG today, everyone shared about their week. I realize how blessed I am with all that I have. I'm so thankful for everything God has blessed and given me.
Going for CF Camp in an hour, hope everything goes fine and the weather is good too.. I really hope this would be a good time of bonding and fellowship=)

Take care friends;)

I received a Vietnam red packet on Tuesday, wanna post the Vietnam dong up but my internet connection doesnt allow me to do so.....

Inside the red packet was 1000 dong = RM0.20. Well, it's the thought that counts=)Cha Ling and I had one red packet each from Kim Cuong... In Vietnam, those above 20 are eligible to give red packets, and their new year falls on the same day as Chinese New Year.

I'm home now!!! I'm so thankful for the smooth trip to the airport and the flight last night.

It's nice to be home=) I miss my family and friends and I'm so happy to meet a number of friends yesterday and today. Met Gary they all and the whole gang at Friendship Park last night. Went out with Qiao Juan this morning and spent the evening with Sarah.

It's been a long time since I last blogged. In a week's time, I'll be home for CNY hols=)

The first week wasnt good for me, due to the soft, old mattress but thankfully they changed it within a week. Felt a bit different during the first week but I've got back to my momentum now.

Managed to visit Linda at her place during the first weekend and I met Shu Ai and Seng Mong at Cheras Baptist Church on the following sunday with Shing and Adrienne.
It really was a sweet surprise to meet Shu Ai at church as Shing planned to meet her later in the evening that day.

I've been out a bit, went to Seremban with my roommate, Jia Li and her classmate, Xin Rong last Wednesday. Bought a watch and a T-shirt which I fell in love with at first sight. It's really cute and I'll post the pic when my internet connection allows me to do so.

I've not studied much yet, dont know why this happens...Happened last January too.... But i'll finish 2 assignments before CNY=) Been playing badminton with Bo Eing and other friends, and captain ball with CF friends. Been exercising but have been eating a lot too... All Bo Eing's fault.....hahaha...

After chatting with Sarah tonight, I am more excited to go home. Really cant wait;)

Happy Chinese New Year!!!!

It's a new year now, another year has passed....how fast time flies.........

I'm back in Nilai now.

I'm so thankful of God's blessings and providence today=) First of all, my flight wasnt delayed today. Connie and Aveline's original flight at 0920 from Kuching to KL was delayed to 1215 and my flight took off on time.
Then God gave me a friend, Zhi Yuan to fly with me today. He helped me with my luggage and I'm glad to have some time to catch up with him again.
I also met Shirley, my primary school classmate on the plane and I saw Bryan, Esmond's friend at the terminal too. Both of them are studying at UKM.
When I was in the bus, Eric msged me to ask whether have I arrived? Well, Eric and Alvin helped me to carry my luggage up to the 1st floor at my block=)
Edmond sent me off today but 3 person didnt turn up....how disappointing....I was a bit la....

I've not unpacked yet because the Health Ministry are fogging all the block this evening. I'm not sure whether are they done because I'm blogging from Bo Eing's room now, another blessing cause there's air-con here....hehehe..

Classes start tmr....not as eager I thought I would be.....

Carey asked me to blog about him and I'm blogging from his house now, and maybe I should, since he's my best guy friend.
First of all, a pic of him

Carey Arthur Kanavathi

I never imagined that Carey would be my good friend today because we were not on talking terms for 3 years before this. That was due to a prefect spot check and I confiscated took his bro's CD when we were in Form 2. Then Carey wasnt happy at me and we started our "non-talking" period.
But Carey so happen to be Sean's best friend and during Sean's 17th birthday, Carey and I and Sean's parents arranged a surprise bday party for Sean. So after that, we started talking again and the rest is history.
Now,he's a good buddy I really trust and someone I can confide in although I was disappointed when he tried not telling me about him coming back for hols last week. And because of him, I had a group of new friends whom I hang out with often too... Gary, Suai, Qi Fung, Ivan and Weena.
Carey is a nice guy but sometimes, he's like my mum too... He wouldnt nag but he would say or 'lecture' me about the things I've done... Well, at least it shows he cares...hehe...

Besides doing some personal stuff, I've been going out quite a bit this week, especially since Carey is back for hols.
Shing slept over last tuesday night after the youth rally and we were out shopping on Wednesday. I had a hair cut too and I feel that this hair cut makes me look a bit like her.
I went bowling with Carey, Sean, Eng Khoon, Suai after having breakfast with them and Ivan, Rachel, Nelly and Qi Fung. Quite some time since my last visit to the bowling ally. Then we went to Connie's house before going to Carey's house in the afternoon.




Eng khoon, sean, suai and me...Carey's not in the pic:(


me and my best guy buddies=)


Connie and me

Weena came back yesterday and we went to Pop Wave this afternoon. Didnt know Gary could sing so well:) Pics would be up after I get them=)
Have a nice weekend=)

Sarah, hope you're enjoying work...

Love you peeps... Cheers~

I attended a youth rally last tuesday night and the pastor was sharing about togetherness. As it is mentioned in the Bible,"... if two or more of you gather in my name, I will be there." Pastor Mark quoted from Acts 16:22, when Paul and Silas was in prison. When they prayed, God listened and sent an earthquake and rescued them from prison. And in the process of rescuing them, the prison guard was moved by the whole incident and he and his family accepted Christ!!
I thought it was a timely topic as I felt that I have been quite alone this year, especially in Nilai. It's not that I do not have friends, but I was hoping to find a good friend, girl friend who could be my good friend and encourage me with my walk with Christ, a source of support and encouragement to each other. I had Ruth last semester, but she's now in Australia....Well,this just reminds me of a chinese story where a dying father asked his three sons to break a piece of wood stick and slowly increasing it in number until neither any of them were able to breaking the wood sticks in half unless three of them put their strength together to break it.
I know I may not only be the one feeling like this.. but I know that God will provide=)

Hi ppl,
I guess my post is long overdue, sorry.
I finished work last last friday, 30h November=) Spent last week meeting friends, running some errands wih my mum and did some of my things.
I went fishing wih the boys on Sunday night at Gary's dad's condo at Rivervine. 5 of us with just one fishing rod, how pathetic...haha.. Havent been out with them for some time, and I had a good time hanging out with them. Next time, we'll have a picnic while fishing;)pics with sean,havent got them from him.
Carey tried to cheat me by saying he's not coming back for the hols.... everyone seemed to know, except me...made me SO SO disappoined =p
Shing's going to spend the night with me=)
Happy holidays mates;) Cheers~

I just came home from Christmas practise not too long ago. Christmas 2006 feels fresh to me... When I was singing just now, I was trying to sing the alto part but I lost it easily, singing alone. At that moment, I remembered singing with Sarah, I think 2 Christmas ago... I've always loved Christmas, cause it's the time when most of the youths are back... Christmas this year would be slighty different, without Sarah, Shu Ai, Edrea, Erica.... But the reason of celebrating Christmas should and always be the focus of Christmas Day=) to celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus!!

Shing's back today=)

It's November already!!!
I'm glad November is here, because that means there's just 1 more month to go, and 26 more days before I get to meet Shing=)
But November also means that 2007 is going to end soon... Have I accomplished much this year???
I cant wait to come home in Feb next year... I just feel so excited about coming home in Feb...you know who you are and you know why;)
Have a nice weekend=) God bless

Last Sunday night, I received a phone call from a friend, unexpected yet touched my heart. It was from Adil, my coursemate for STA221 last semester. He called to ask where am I, said he hasnt seen me around the campus for some time. I thought he was sweet enough to give me a call, despite just knowing me for a short time. Although I may be afraid to see a lot, as in a big group of blacks, that doesnt mean I do not like them. I feel sad that some of my friends refuse to befriend those Africans, why? Just because of their skin colour. Well, we definitely may not understand their culture and they do not understand ours, but all it takes is one step to build that bridge. Not every African are bad or have bad intentions towards us. I wouldnt deny that that some do but that doesnt mean ppl should make that conclusion that every black guy isnt good at all. Who are we to judge other ppl? I wouldnt say I've never judged other ppl, as human beings and sinners, I believe we all do or ever did. But we must always remember it is God who would judge us at judgement day and have we lived a Christ centered life?
Friends are indeed a blessing from God. True friends see you through every up and down in your life... I'm glad to have friends like that but also I have been hurt by some friends. I believe in "Do to others what you want others to do unto you". Although you will not never always get what you want, that's still how I want to treat other ppl. Despite all, there's someone who will never forsake you in times of troubles and is forever faithful to you.. He's really someone who's there for you whenever you need Him, to listen to you and be with you... Thank you Jesus!! For your unfailing and everlasting love.. I have such a wonderful friend who holds a special spot in my life, do you?
I've always felt that I've not achieved much in life. I've always wanted to do much more things, learn more things but I realized that shouldnt be the focus of my life. How can I achieved all my dreams without God in my life? With him, everything is possible! Other ppl may think an incident happens coincidentally, but I believe God is behind everything in my life. Although many a times, things do not turn out the way we want them too, I believe that's one of his ways of teaching and refining us.. There's still so many areas I need to change and be refined...
I pray that God may touch the lives and hearts of the million unbelievers out there and be the pillar which strengthens and unifies my family...

The CPU is still not working and that explains why I've not been online so much.
My week has just been the same, just that Anna switched places with me at work and it's kinda cold at her place and i've not been talking to ah Chua a lot this week. But I got to talk to Wan Ling and Julie and Lena more too, so it was good=)

I finally met up with Mun on Wednesday night. We had a drink then we went to Friendship Park. It's been a long time since I been there and I was shocked to see the fishs dead and quite a few cages over the the wishing wells and the spot lights. Just disappointing...

Sarah called me today... I'm glad she called... I missed her a lot... I'll only get to meet her in February next year, still such a long time... I cant wait to meet shing too and Linda when I get back to KL in jan.
