Can't Sleep

I am sitting here, in front of the computer, getting what I deserved for procrastinating my work. It's already 1 something and I am still working to finish off my Psychology essay. Still left a few hundred words. It will be finished very quickly if I could just set my mind and heart to it. Sadly, right now at this moment, I have been bothered about something for quite a while now. I know that I don't fully understand her and I know we are not that close. However, it just pains me to see someone, who you see on a daily basis, keep herself away from everyone else. I understand that all of us needs some private time by ourselves, but sometimes it just hurts because you know you can't do anything at all in this kind of situation. There are some things that you know that you can't tell her. Even if you tell, it doesn't mean she will accept it willingly. To do something or not to do something - that is truly the mystery. It's like you do something about it, it's wrong. If you don't do anything about it, it is also wrong.

Ehhh
... hold on a second... Why do I suddenly sound like a guy caught in the girl problem..????? *a long awkward pause*


Anyway, I guess I finally understand that there are some things that she needs to realize it herself. There is nothing I can do but just to pray for her.
Gosh.. It's already 2AM!!! I've got to get back to finish my essay!!!! GOOD NIGHT!!!

When things do not go my way....

After I had finished my 'didn't-go-so-well' examination on Friday, I gave myself a self-declared holiday for a week (even though classes are still going on). Yes, people, I am back to my humble abode all the way back to the Pearl of the Orient! It has been a crazy two weeks and I am sure it will get crazier now I am back home. Let me tell you what happen during my exam day. It's going to be a long and whinning post.

Friday 24th April 2009
I got up early in the morning, feeling rather queasy and nervous at the same time. It was the exam day and I felt totally unprepared at all. I left the house at 6:15AM and reach the Imperial Hotel KL at 7-ish in the morning. I was the earliest and there was nobody around. It was pretty scary at first but then I realized that my exam was scarier, I calmed down straight away. As I was doing some last minute revision, people started coming in... OLDER people were coming in... I was wondering did I got the exam date correct... I panicked for just that tiny moment thinking whether did I got the correct venue. After a while a lady started to brief us about what was going to happen during the exam and all the necessary registration stuff yadda yadda yadda... Apparently I was the only one taking the MCAT exam while the rest were taking some exams on accounts and business. Anyway, it was time for the exam. As I went in the room and registered myself for the exam, the computer went "SYSTEM ERROR".

*speechless*

WHAT THE HECK... ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?

After the lady tried and tried again, she asked me to wait outside while she went to check with the main office. I was trying to calm myself down but then my mind started to think about other things such as "maybe I do not need to take my exam today" or "maybe it is just a technical problem" or "maybe I can go home" etc etc. Yupe, I was running away again. I am such a coward. I always wanted to avoid any obstacles in front of my path. Sigh... So after waiting for 40 minutes, she finally got the system working and I could take my exam. I can honestly tell you, after those 5 hours, I do not even remember what I was doing or what answers did I enter. In other words, my exam went bad. No doubt about that. Sigh...

After my exam (ended around 12:30PM), I took the KL monorail and ended up in KL Sentral. I was thinking of buying some things to bring back to Penang. As I was juggling whether should I go to KLCC or One-Utama, I was approached twice by two different ladies asking me to donate for the less fortunate people. Asking me to donate is fine but when they are asking for more than what I had donated, that is when I draw the line. Anyway, after all that, it was decided that I go to One-U as I was told there are more things to browse. HOWEVER, the thing is that... I did an embarassing thing... I WENT ON THE WRONG BUS and I ended up where, you ask? I ended up in KLCC... -_-lll sweat... Well, since I had already made the mistake and I was already in KLCC, I took the time to look around. Apparently, there will be a fashion show later in the evening but I couldn't stay for that though. After walking around KLCC for around 45 minutes, I didn't see anything that I would like to bring back. So decided to go back to Plan A. I headed down to the KTM and asked which station should I go to if I want to go to One-U. The person who was attending to me told me that I should get off at the station at Taman Bahagia. Ok, fast forward. Once I reached Taman Bahagia, I went down to the bus stop and I told them that I wanted to go to One-U. And guess what the bus driver told me, "Di sini tak ada bas pergi ke One-Utama! Hanya pergi ke DAMANSARA UTAMA!" I was like..... O....K.... However the bus driver was kind enough to bring me another bus stop where I could get a ride to One-U. I basically took the time to enjoy riding around KL and Selangor. Wait... there's more. When the RapidKL bus that was going to One-Utama arrived, I got up the bus and I realized that I do not have small change. What happen then? The bus driver KICKED me OUT of the bus! Hahahahaha... in a way I can't helped but to laugh at the day I was having so far. After exchanging some notes with the people at the road side, I finally got on another bus and headed straight down to One-Utama. By the time I reached One-Utama, it was already 4:30PM! In my head, I was telling myself, "I gotta go back soon before it gets too dark!" My body refuses to listen to my brain and I walked myself into One-Utama and went window-shopping for about... 20-25 minutes. THere was no buses heading to Subang Jaya. So I had no choice but to take the bus back to KL SENTRAL again. And because of that, the bus was caught in the jam. People kept coming into the bus didn't help the situation at all! I was really tired then. Finally I reached KL SENTRAL and I bought the KTM ticket to Subang Jaya as the buses to SJ will not arrived for the next one hour or so. I didn't want to wait to I straight away bought the ticket. HOWEVER, suddenly the announcement came, "We are sorry but the train to KLANG has been DELAYED. The train will arrived in another 30 minutes time." Oh... well... since it was half an hour, I had McD's for dinner. That was 7:30PM.

You see, when a train is delayed, what happens to the next few trains? They will be delayed as well. Because of that, there were over 100 people waiting to catch the train!!! When the first train came, everyone just rushed into the train without letting any room for the people inside the train to get out. I was like, 'no way, I'm not gonna squeezed my way in'. So I waited for the second train which will be arriving 5 minutes later. The same thing happened for the second train as well! It was mayhem! Everyone is pushing each other just to get into the train! Again, I said to myself, "Forget it! I'll just wait another 10 minutes for the third train to come!" Finally, I got on the third train and headed back to Subang Jaya. By the time I reached Sunway Pyramid, it already was 9:00PM. I walked home, took a bath, packed a little and went straight to bed. What a tiring day!

Saturday 25th April 2009
My bus was scheduled to leave at 8:00AM and guess what time did I wake up? 7:15AM!!!!!!!!!!! I was like 'DAMNED!!!' and I quickly jumped out of bed and got myself prepared as fast as I could. My alarm clock took a fine day to fail on me! Argh! You can imagine what a mess I was in! Running here and there, looking for my ticket, making last minute packing and running to the Sunway Pyramid just to get on the bus! Thankfully, I got there in time and I did not forget anything.... After that, rest.............

And now I am back in Penang, enjoying and relaxing as much as I can before it's too late to do so... you will find out soon enough.... That's it for today.

My One Day Trip to Melaka

Left the house at 7:30AM in the morning and only got back at 11:00PM.... Absolutely TIRING!!! Undoubtedly it was tiring but it was truly enjoyable as it is my very first experience of attending two Lord's Table Meeting at two different localities! This is actually my second trip to Melaka. The last time I went to Melaka was in 2006 and I was attending for a campus students blending. Here are some old pictures of the sisters and I. I looked so young!


And as for today... I am too lazy and too tired to give more details... So I'll let the pictures do the talking for now.

MORNING
The Meeting Hall in Melaka

Prayer and Bread-Breaking

*Translation: The Greatest Mystery of All - Christ and the Church
by the Church in Melaka


Love Feast

The English Group saints from the Church in SJ came to visit!

AFTERNOON
Melaka's old BOMBA tiny truck...

Another historic site in Melaka...
No idea exactly because I skipped this part... what did I do during this time, you ask? lalalala....

Kota St. John
"St. John's Fort was built by the Dutch during the 18th century is situated on St. John's Hill and was a former site of a chapel dedicated to St. John, the Baptist. According to history, the Archinese attacked Melaka in 1629 and destroyed the chapel. The fort was then used by the Archinese as their base when they attacked the Portuguse who were holding out in the Francisan Monastery on Bukit China and completely destroyed the Monastery. It is interesting to note that the cannon embrasures face inland and not towards the sea as the locals at that time were attacking Melaka from the hinterland." - Sejarah Malaysia.

Let's fire some cannon balls!

Scissors are sharp

FINALLY I've gotten my haircut! The barbershop that I used to go to, has moved and I have no idea where it is! After trying hard to search for the new place, I gave up and went to my Mum's friend's saloon. To be honest, I was really scared to ask her to cut my hair because her work is according to her mood. If her mood is good, she will cut really nice. If it is not good, she will cut more and more of your hair. Well.. that was my impression of her when I was in high school. So I was kind of reluctant to go at first, but luckily, she gave me a new look! Though I must say, her cutting skills are really slick but really really scary! I was in the saloon for almost an hour but she only took 10 minutes to trim my hair! Half an hour just to wash and rinse my hair! In my whole life, I have never ever washed my hair THAT long before! Anyway, I'm glad it didn't turn out to be so horrible as I pictured it.

Un-Wasted Holidays

Sigh... I'm going back to SJ in less than two days. Don't get me wrong, I am actually looking forward to go back. However, there is that nagging feeling of not wanting to leave home. I don't know how to describe it in words but I'll try... it is like a tinge of guilt, with a dash of reluctance and a whole lot of love. Feeling rather emo right now... >_<

Though this must be the longest holiday that I ever spend at home, it wasn't as wasteful as I thought it would be. Hmm... where should I start? Well, when I first got home, I remembered I was dreading about my results that were coming out in a few weeks. Before my results were known, I finally received my father's approval for me to obtain my salvation as he is a atheist. That kind of happiness was really indescribable after one is immersed out of the water. I can still recall that I couldn't stop smiling. :) Lucky for me, I passed my examinations as well!!

Then the two months industrial training began. I met some very pleasant people over there. I must say, working is not my cup of tea but that is unavoidable regardless how much I try to stall it. I just hope that in the future, I am able to like what I do. I don't know what the future holds for me, but I do know that because it is such a mystery, it will be something really amazing and special :P

Besides working, I met up with several of my friends - my two best friends, one gospel-friend-turn-into-believer (so happy for her), a few of my college and high school friends. Had my first taste of going out at night, not really a big fan of it though. I would get pretty worn out after a long night. Right now, my eyes are filled with dark circles below it. SOoooo UNATTRACTIVE!!!

Another thing worth mentioning is that I bought my very first guitar!!!! A guitar to call my own! I absolutely love it! It's such a shame that I can't bring it down to SJ with me this time. Sigh... I'm gonna miss it! Read three novels, this is one of my favourite pastimes which I rarely have the chance to do it. Glad I had the holidays to do it. Anyway, before I even realize it, the attachment work has finally come to an end. Kinda miss the people there but not the work. :P

As soon as the completion of my training, I went straight into house cleaning mode in the preparation for CNY. My room has never been so clean before! Ate plenty during CNY, grow so fat now.... -_-" Visited my grandma. Don't let her fragile appearance deceive you, her mental alertness is still sharp as ever!
She is already 80 something but still going strong! God really bless her.

My relatives - you can see the resemblance :D

OH! Didn't experience a blackout for a very very long time. One night, the whole house just went dark. Moreover, it happened at night. Everything was pitch black, I can't even see my own my hand! After wandering aimlessly, blinded by the darkness, I finally found my handphone to give me some light to move about. The whole neighborhood was extremely dark but it's kinda pretty, don't you think?


Now CNY is almost over, it is time to get ready to go back to studying life. Hmm... my clothes are still in a pile waiting for me to iron them... so I better get going... Until next time. Toodles!

Not Quite There Yet

TWO more days and I'm counting the hours by~!!! I can't believe it! Two months of industrial training is ALMOST over!

I must say, during my training I had my fair share of complaints, and of course as some learning experiences that couldn't be learned through books or testimonies of others. The very first thing I learned at the beginning of my training is that no matter what occupation you are in, all the work are routine and repetitive. And to even think that it is good thing, what was I thinking?!? Doing the same thing everyday, from 9 to 5, is mentally unchallenged and utterly boring! At that particular moment, I was already looking forward to the coming new semester. On the bright side, the people there were really helpful, friendly and patient in showing us the ropes. I will miss the people but definitely not the work, especially the part where we HAD to embrace the odor of urine! *chills* Ohhh that reminds me... I better start thinking how I want to write my report on what have I learned throughout the whole attachment.

Running Away from Destiny

Saw a news report in the newspaper today about a man was hit by a motorcyclist and unfortunately he could not be saved. Since Penang is a very small island, word gets around pretty fast. According to what I have heard, this man was afraid of cars - I do not mean he has a phobia whenever a car is present, but he is afraid of car accidents that might happen to him or his family. So he never got his driving license because he never went to one and he does not allow his family to learn how to drive. Everywhere he went, he either took a cab or a bus. The ironic thing is that, what he was afraid of in the beginning and what he was trying to avoid, he still couldn't run away from his fate. It is a rather depressing situation.

It did, however, showed me one thing and that is to get over myself. What do I mean by that? What I am trying to express here is that there is a thousand things in the world that I could be afraid of, if I do not get over this fear, it is going to hold me back. My brother always said that I like to find excuses and put the blame on others but myself. Well... I hate to admit it but it is true. I guess by putting the blame on others makes one feel that he or she is in a way, good or better than anyone else and that you are not in the wrong. Nobody likes to be wrong. Nobody. But being scared to be in a guilty position, doesn't mean that I can get away with it by blaming others. I think I finally get it now. I've been so negative with the things around me and I have never bothered about my own weaknesses. Without dealing with any of it, I will still remain in my own circle, in a similar sense like the man I mentioned earlier. Whatever that you cannot overcome, that whatever will always be there and will continue to haunt you throughout your life. It is rather frightening, isn't it? I do hope I won't end up like this and I hope I will learn....

Mercy

Finally a moment for me to catch my breath. So far I have already sat for three papers and I still three more to go. The next paper will start next which gives me ample of time to prepare. I really gotta say, the Lord really blessed me with His presence during my examination for my past three papers. I knew I didn't study all the syllabus required for the examination, but the Lord really had mercy on me and help me got through it. I really Praise Him for being a merciful God. Though I had anxiety attack before the day of examination, the Lord had grant me peace and comfort. This really strengthen my consecration to Him. I won't tell you what I have consecrated but you will know soon enough. Praise Him!

A Break that I Do Not Need

Blah.... exams.... whether is preparing for it or having it, both can be really suffocating at times. At times I just really need to deny my natural self in which in this case is sloth and lack for determination. I really need to depend on the Lord, not to help me pass my exams blindly but to help me grow in life as I go through every obstacles that are hindering my journey. May the Lord's grace be sufficient for all whoever facing examinations.

By the way, on a separate topic, Monash students, do wear GREEN on Wednesday as it is Environment Day according to my friend. By wearing GREEN, it does not necessarily mean that one support nature or any other way, it is just an excuse to get free Starbucks vouchers! LOL!

Taiping Trip Part 2

The continuation from the previous post....

We then went to the Taiping Zoo. It's been quite a while since I last went to the zoo when I was really young. Saw a lot of animals but was kinda disappointed that I didn't get the chance to see other animals in action such as African Lions, Tigers, Leopard, basically the big cats family. Either they were sleeping or absent. I just wished that they would be more lively a little. Maybe they spent too much time being caged in and it is making them miserable. Sigh... now I feel a bit sorry for them. Here are some pictures of the animals that we saw that day.












After a long stroll in the zoo under the hot sun, we were brought to visit the Taiping Lake. Again, I do not know what is the right name to call it, we had the opportunity to sit in a swan-like boat that requires us to pedal with our feet in order to move on the lake. It may sound a bit childish but it was really fun! Some of the other sisters, they sat on "sampan (small boats)" and they had to row. It was a funny sight as they rowed the boat the wrong way and the boat moved backwards! Though it was only a half an hour on the lake, it was definitely an experience won't be forgotten. I had so much fun in Taiping!

Oh... On Sunday, after our weekly church meeting with the saints, most of the brothers and sisters went back to Subang. As for me, I waited for my mum and godmother to come and fetch me back to Penang. As food lovers, it is typical for us to buy some local food back to Penang! I am going to be fat this break.... believe me... I will be!

Taiping's famous - "Mi Ku", "Heong Pem" and etc...

Strength from the Lord

These few days have been so hectic, I feel that I am having a hard time breathing, literally.

Yesterday, I had a lab replacement session at 8:30 in the morning. I knew that it was going to be a long day. Surely enough, the practical took so long that it only ends at 1pm as we need to incubate the different samples at different times. It was a big mistake not taking breakfast that morning. I dumped lab at 12.40pm for I was already late for a group discussion on our Physiology Presentation that is going to be held on Monday, which is tomorrow. We got some work done and we finished discussion at around 2:10pm. Had lunch with my housemate at CornerHouse. We ate Wan Tan Mee as we rarely have the chance to eat at that shop. It now cost RM4 per plate! The stall seller increases the price... Sigh... Anyway, I got back at 2:35pm, took a bath, prepared my dinner and packaged it. At 3:25pm, my housemates and I went to the local church in Puchong for Video Training on the Epistles of John, 3 books in the Bible. The title of the 2 messages of the day were The Anointing and Abiding in Christ. The messages were really amazing, I was so full of joy as the messages are not merely doctrine and knowledge but they are so practical and enjoyable that they can be apply to our everyday living in our pursue of the Lord Jesus Christ. There was an hour break between the two messages and I used that to study my Anatomy. I don't know if I can still remember it now though.
Finally, when all of us got back home, it was already 10pm. Saturday is my turn to do the cleaning. Thankfully, a sister helped me sweep the floor and I just needed to mop them.

What's amazing is that, I prayed to the Lord a day earlier, telling him that I have absolutely no confidence in finishing all the tasks that I wanted to do yesterday. Miraculously, I didn't waste any time and I had completed what I wanted for the day. The same thing happen today as well. I told the Lord that I need to study my Anatomy, I need to rehearse and edit the Physiology Presentation, take a nap, iron my clothes and wash my clothes, not to mention the weekly meeting on Sundays and the additional Video Training. I still can't believe that I did all of that. It was really a blessing from the Lord.

Over the Edge

I don't know what came over me today. I just went on and on and on... and nearly fainted...

For physiology lab today, we did an experiment on the difference of how much oxygen is consumed during resting and exercise. My group and I knew this was a simple experiment as we did something similar to this for our previous units. We passed the ball and I ended up being the subject for the day. All I have to do was breathe into the Spirometer (an equipment that measures the ventilation of the lungs) for 2 minutes when I am at rest, no moving basically and for 5 minutes when I am exercising on the indoor bicycle. Throughout the entire process, I need to clip my nose so that I would not breathe in or out through my nose which would affect the results of the practical. So I did the resting part and breathing in and out into the spirometer by a tube in my mouth was not as simple as it looks. It does limit my breathing in the sense that oxygen is confided in such a smaller space.

After that, I went out doing the exercise part. I was pedaling in a constant pace and breathing harder through the tube. Soon, I found it getting harder for me to breathe. Therefore, I closed my eyes and tried to focus on my breathing by breathing slowly. I don't know why I thought that the exercise would last for just two minutes only, so I pushed myself. I told myself 'it is just only for two minutes, you can do it'. I went on. And on. Slowly, I could feel that my surroundings was getting more and more quiet, until I couldn't hear anything anymore. I could only hear the pounding of my heart, beating so hard in me. Though I was sweating, I felt cold. That was the time, mentally I knew I had to stop as I could feel my body getting so vulnerable, but I couldn't. My legs just kept on cycling and they just wouldn't stop. From there, my friends in my group knew something was wrong and just stopped me. All I remembered was that someone stopped me and told me to lie down but anything that was in between, I am still clueless. I don't remember how they got me off the bicycle..... or did I came down myself.......

I felt much better when I was lying down. When I was lying down, my friends filled me in on what had happened. My friends told me that they called my name a few times when I was on the verge of fainting, but I didn't give any response to them. I was on that indoor bicycle for three minutes! They said my colour of my face just changed, and my hands were extremely cold. Apparently, my brain was deprived of oxygen for a short while, about ten to twenty seconds I think (not too sure though). My friend said that I could have die due to the lack of oxygen. I guessed I scared them for a moment there. However, when I was lying down, I wasn't praying that I was safe nor alive, I was praying that how could I be such an idiot to do something this embarrassing. I should have stopped but I didn't and I have no clue why on earth that I didn't cease myself. I did felt that it was really foolish of me.

I did feel oozy after the lab and had quite a headache during a class that comes after. Still felt tired and weak when I got back to where I stayed. It was only then that reality starts to sink in my mind and I started to pray for my health and that I don't suffer from brain damage. I just laid down on the floor and rested and slept. Feel much better now. Gotta get back to work then... It was definitely an experience that I would never thought that I could have.

The Things Around Me

It is a fact that we always take things for granted. ALWAYS. Friends, family and the material things around you, whether you realize it or not, those are the things that are constantly taken for granted. And as for today, I felt awful and was filled with guilt because I have taken advantage of the One who cares and loves me the most, who has never complain about my faults, forgave me over and over again, who knows how to comfort me better than anyone else - GOD.

In this final examination, I ran out of time and had to cramp everything that I have learned for the past few months in just several days before the exam for each paper. Though this is only the third paper and in my heart, I know it is not going to get over that border line, I felt that the Lord have mercy on me. He had provided me situations beyond my imagination and I know this is definitely beyond the term LUCKY. Thanks and praise the Lord for what He has done and for being the Wonderful One who is our all inclusive replacement. Amen.

who would have thought...

never judge a book by its cover...

never judge a person by its appearance...

Yes, heard those phrases a million times and we can even memorize by heart. Yet, I never really had that kind of reality before.

Today, I decided to come back to my hometown for several reasons which I would not disclose. It's irrelevant. The bus that I used to take to go to Pudu did not show up, so I had to take another bus. However, the bus driver told me that this 2nd bus does not go to Pudu directly and he will drop me at an old bus station.

"Woah.... can I trust this guy? I don't even know where exactly he is going to drop me!"

I just went on the bus, paid the fare and pray a lot! I was uncertain with my decision at all. I sure felt better after prayer.

Later, when we reached to an old bus station, the bus driver was guiding me which bus to take to go to Pudu. I never really understood the Malay language spoken by the Malays. I just decipher the key points that he mentioned and off I go. Was still a bit unsure which bus to take, a Malay guy from the same bus I took earlier asked me whether I was going to Pudu. When I said yes, he just responded, "Ikut saya (Follow me)." Again, was feeling insecure at first, but he explained that Pudu is not far from there, where we could just reached there by foot. What a relief when we got to Pudu! He wasn't lying at all! I really appreciated his help.

I was really blessed that the Lord is watching over me in every step I take. Providing me with answers to my insecurities and doubts. Moreover, not all Malays and Indians are all that bad. Lesson learned! *peace*

Oh well.. gotta hit the books before I turn in.

P.S. I really gotta brush up on my Malay!!!

Kimmy the Builder

We have two new housemates/sisters from Sarawak whom came down to Sunway to pursue their studies. In order to fit them in, MAJOR changes were required. Rooms were swapped, things were moved and furniture were built! I had a whole lot of fun building a desk and a shoe rack with the sisters. We sang hymns and encouraged each other during the process, it was really wonderful that all of us can come together and do things together. And oh, we did try not to look at the instructions... but we ended up referring to it anyway.

Looks like a letter 'h'

Still left a small part....

TADAHHH!!!

Prayer

My mind is blank, emotionally feeling tired and worn out; and yet, I'm so happy. You might be probably wondering why; if I could explain everything in a sentence, that sentence would be "God listens to our prayer!"

A few days earlier, my church sister and I have been planning to spread the gospel to our university. We did not feel nervous and anxious at the beginning; however, when D-day comes (which is today by the way), anxiety is burning in us. One thing I learnt from spreading the gospel is that a lot of prayer is required. Through prayer, we open ourselves entirely and let God operate in us. At times, I need to be constantly reminded not to preach in my flesh.

We went from one person to another, just try to give as much as we can. Sure, there were a lot who were not willing but there are a few who takes the time to listen. Roughly about an hour or so, we decided to stop as we ran out of English survey forms for them to fill. We couldn't find people from China though, maybe they were in class, I suppose. In overall, it was a good experience and it is an opportunity for God to transform us in every way. I'm a bit tired but I'm glad I did this. And oh another thing that I realised is that we should pray more for the gospel in our university as most of the people we approached are like 'shut-doors' not letting you have to chance to preach. Prayer is the key to let God function in everyone of us!
