So Not Me

Note to self: I look old... never to curl my hair ever again.....!

P.E.S.

Looks like everyone I know is suffering from the aftermath of post examinations syndrome - boredom. So am I. A sudden change of pace leaves everyone wondering what to do with their lives.... Hopefully tomorrow will be a more productive day.

Long Forgotten Memories

Well, I was searching through some stuff at home and found something I had forgotten it existed. So I was wondering to put it up or not since it has been so long already. Hopefully my friends won't kill me for putting this up~! Enjoy =P

The Lair Awaits

Hibiscus blooming, Salmon fish and prawns on the table, first day covers stacking up for me to sort, a pile of clothes waiting for me to iron... Yupe... I am definitely home!

Whenever I reached Sungai Nibong and got out of the bus, my Mum will always, I do mean ALWAYS, say these two things, "Girl, you gained/lost weight" and "Girl, you need a haircut!"I guess that one of the little things I love about my Mum, so predictable at times. Hehe... She hasn't changed at all. =P

Dad wasn't home yet when I got back as he was out for his usual run. I can't believe that when he got back, all sweating and dripping wet, I went to hug him! Yes, it was sticky and wet... but Dad is Dad, he did lose some weight though...

Anyway, this post will be short, but here are some pictures of our dinner at TGI's Fridays yesterday with some friends to celebrate the end of examinations =) Food was awesome! Accompanied by a group of wacky and hilarious group of friends~!

Since I am a "dessertarian" (Is it a word?), I shall put the desserts first! *Slurp*

Life is Full of Meaning when He is here

Lately I attended my church conferences where they spoke concerning "Experiencing and Enjoying Christ to Abound in the Work of Christ According to His Full Ministry of Three Stages - Incarnation, Inclusion and Intensification". Incarnation is the first stage which is the stage of Christ as a man in the flesh; the work of the ministry in this stage produces redeemed people. The second stage is the stage of His inclusion - the stage of Christ as the life-giving spirit; the work of the ministry in this stage produced the church and produces the local churches. Intensification is the third stage of Christ as the sevenfold intensified Spirit; the work of the ministry in this stage is to produce overcomers as today's Zion.

Though there are some which I still do not understand, I will share what I enjoyed throughout the conferences. I treasured that we, the fallen man/sinners, are redeemed by precious blood of Jesus Christ. It means that there is a change in ownership. We do not belong to ourselves anymore, neither we belong to Satan, the devil but we belong to God! God has bought us with His precious blood. I was reminded again because this is the fact that draws me to believe in the Lord in the first place. I was young when I heard that the Lord Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood to cleanse all our sins. At that time, I found the Lord Jesus to be so... merciful to save sinners of this world. Now I am shown further that the Lord has redeemed us so that we may receive the greatest blessing, which is the Triune God (the Father, the Son and the Spirit) as the Life-giving Spirit dwelling in us for our enjoyment! Oh, I really need to be reminded again and again about this.

You know, especially after examinations, I have been feeling a bit lost in the sense that, I don't what to do. I wake up in the morning and started to think, "OK, what am I going to do today?"I have been so busy preparing for my examinations and now that it is over, now what? It just really show me that whatever our goals or responsibilities we have in life, is really just temporary. Once it is accomplished or done, more aims and new objectives will be made to keep us going on with our life. So I just realized that, for me, my manner of life is very vain. However, I am so glad that I am able to enjoy God with the brothers and sisters through the Lord's word everyday, through this nourishing supply, I am able to be saved from my vain manner of life bit by bit. I don't know what the Lord has in stores for me but I know that as long as I turn to Him and repent, He will save me from being spiritually dead, anxiety and my vain manner of life. That is what I enjoyed throughout the conference. Good night everyone.

P.S. I Love You

Okok... I know it's cheesy of me but I actually wanna watch this movie~! The movie is actually based on the novel that I read the other day, P.S. I Love You. By the looks of the trailer, it looks like a good comedy~!

Stress-Free Day: Day One

A new day... no class... no assignments... no books to study. Hmmm... yes... I'm feeling a bit odd that's all, all the sudden there's nothing to worry about =P Now I can take the time to smell the roses. Outside the sisters' house, there lies a tree where its flowers were blooming and I didn't even notice until this beautiful morning when I got back from the petrol station. It was so pretty~!



After settling some stuff, we (my housemates and I) went to Sunway Pyramid to have lunch with a sister who has finished her foundations studies and is going to pursue her studies elsewhere. While we were there, we saw something interesting. I used to see this in music videos and pictures but never in real life!

Sorry for the poor quality, my handphone is not so canggih~!

It was really funny~! I took about 3 videos of this but I just uploaded the final battle between two US fellows. I really wanted to try but didn't have the guts to do it. It looks FUN~! And besides, I think it is only meant for the males.

Anyway, since I am so free, I decided to find a good novel for some light reading. I wanted to find a thriller or crime genre fiction novels, however, I wasn't too sure about some of them. So I grew tired looking for a good book, I straight away took one from the books in the recommended section and bought it without thinking too much. From the title, it is obviously a romance novel. That very night, as I was reading it, it is more about the-losing-your-soul-mate-and-can't-go-on type of plot and finally how did she overcame the entire situation with the help of her late husband's "list". It's good for a light read as it is pretty funny, especially when she (oh, the main character in the novel is called Holly) hangs out with her amazing and supportive best friends. Basically, it's also about moving on with life. Apparently they made this into a movie. Never seen it before, I don't think they even aired it here in Malaysia. I don't know, I just really lost to what is the latest movies these days.


It took me several hours just to finish it. Hmm... I wonder what should I do now?

Finally!

Zilch… that’s my mobile credit I’m talking about. And yes, it has been a long, long, long journey through the examination period… finally I can say it’s OVER! Hell yeah! It’s all done. I’m glad that it’s over, even though the final paper was the toughest of all (hopefully I will be able to pass it). So what should I write about then? It’s been quite a while since I wrote something… oh wait… I have been writing… yeah… been writing the answers for the exams…. Well… that doesn’t count!

I learnt A LOT during my preparation for the finals. And no, I do not mean academically but spiritually and a lot about myself. For instance, I finally realized how I deal with pressure or stress – I stuffed myself with candy! Seriously, one day I was just sitting in the library, cracking up a book, and then it goes… one by one - Cadbury chocolates, Snickers, Snickles… You get the idea. So undoubtedly, gaining “A FEW” pounds is inevitable. You know what that means then, its exercise time~~

Okok… back to what I have just said, someone said something to me which made me pondered for quite some time. You see, I’m always the one telling others that we don’t have to care what others have to say negatively about us, as long as we are not doing anything wrong or out of principle. However, when someone cares about you tell you something personal about you, that is a time to actually listen. My friend saw me as a person who doesn’t show her true emotions in front of people and someone who is hard to see through... and I thought whatever I do or say was pretty obvious and out in the open.

I’m not going to let you in with all the minor details but as a conclusion out from all this is that I can’t change. That’s how I am. The only person who has the ability to transform me is God. He will make me as perfect as the Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48). So a note to my friend, I know you are not asking me to change, but I hope you can accept that sometimes there are things I do not wish to share with you or tell you what I am feeling, doesn’t mean that I treat you as an outsider. You don’t have to try to understand me because you can never understand me but only to a certain extent. So whenever you see me worrying or feeling down but do not wish to tell you, just pray for me. I will always find someone to tell my problems, someone that I can be very, very truthful with. The Lord Himself will deal with me both inwardly and outwardly.

As for now, my three weeks holiday will begin right at this moment! Well... technically two weeks only as for the third week, I'll be going to Sabah with the saints to participate in the Malay Conference held by our church. I need to brush up my Malay then :) Hmmm... two weeks... pretty short if you ask me. Hopefully I can make these two weeks worthwhile.

Oh! Another thing to add to this long post before I stop for the day. We had such a treat for dinner just now. A brother invited us (campus students) to have dinner at his house and guess what we had for dinner???

I haven't had crabs for ages! And it was so good! Haha!


This is the spicy one

That's it for today. Yeah... it is a long one today.

P.S.
To those who are in the midst of struggling and suffering examination blues, do not fret, my prayers are with you all! All the best!
