HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO......

YEW POH LING a.k.a. PRESIDENT! :D

President of what you may ask? President of Chi Cha Bon Cha Club! Hahaha.. Knowing you in National Service has been one of the most beautiful things in my life. Sharing and savouring those sweet and not-so-sweet moments with you during National Service has really been a sweet pleasure. I miss those days where we talked and laughed together, cried together, made fun of each other, encouraged one another,listened to songs on mp3, exercised together and so on.. You were my closest friend out of the many very close friends I had. I've never met someone so beautiful inside out like you,someone so filled with a heart of compassion.. I recalled once when we,the CCBC Club members came across the news of the huge number of people dying in Myanmar, you were so reactive.. You said with so much of distress feelings "hen chan ler..." And I think it is a rare thing nowadays, rarer than finding a precious gemstone; to be able to find someone so compassionate like you. =)

You are a very independent and loving girl. Our friendship was not built on the language that we spoke,but rather built on love. And that goes the same for the CCBC group. I remembered you once mentioned to me "Imagine now we speak like that (broken english + cantonese + very little of mandarin/malay) also so close already, imagine how close we can be if we can talk better(in a language that we are both comfortable in. And yes,btw, I'm a banana literally. sad case)." And I can't help but nodded in agreement. teehee.. ^

I do not have many personal pictures of just the both of us due to not having a camera most of the time in NS except for the last 2 weeks of NS. But the memories are captured in my heart and my mind and will live on forever.

Chi Cha Bon Cha Club members.. =p

my friend who does silly things with me and on me too.. and likewise.. hehe..


my/our favourite ice-cream Lava partner :D

I don't think our friendship is either built on words or pictures too. Rather,it is built on what we had shared and gone through together. Agree? ^ We really got to meet up soon! Teehee.. Once again,
HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY, SWEETIE!
A ring is round
It has no end
Just like our friendship
For you my dear friend. =)

I HEART YOU LOTS! =)

College ain't that fun anymore...

I used to be happy going to college. Last semester, Public Speaking, Macroeconomics and General Biological Science were the "interesting" subjects I took. Lol.. It was fun! Public Speaking was the best and the most entertaining subject for me! Not to mention,friends who were taking this subject too were the best! But I have to say that I'm so blessed to have other wonderful friends in Macroeconomics and Biology classes who have really been a great hand in helping me in ways.. THANK YOU! :D This semester,I have College Algebra with Applications which is MATHS! (one of the subjects that I really look forward to; have been waiting all my life in college), Introduction to Computer Applications, Management Principles and Business Law. Ain't going that far to elaborate more.. Picture speaks a thousand words. So,here are some pictures from last semester-projects,assignments,random pics..


My microscope! :D

the catching, pining/mounting,labeling insects project that rob me of my precious beauty sleep.

Anyway,now I don't look so forward going to college anymore. Why? Hhmm..

How Much Longer?

* A poem written in my classroom last year while I was trying to absorb Chemistry facts into my head.. And understanding just one or a few pages can take hours.. Till I came to the point where I felt so stressed up about it and with so many other subjects that needed my time and attention, I don't know how much more I can take it.. I'm so tired,so weared up... Wondering how much longer must I bear with all these.. Thus,this poem came about.. And how one of God's worship songs reminded me that trials and suffering may seem long, but eternity will be even longer.. Enjoy! ^


HOW MUCH LONGER?

I’m sitting against this hard,plastic chair,
Laying aside my thick Chemistry book,
Pondering why life is so tough...
How much more must I persevere,
To finish the race that I’ve fought?
How much longer?
How much more?
I wonder...

I feel like I’ve drifted away from Him,
Yet I know He is always there,
Only to find that He is waiting,
For me to call on Him...

I feel so tired and weary,
With the things of this world screaming at me,
Just to gain my attention,
And I’m partly affected...
It feels like all the trials and sufferings,
Pains and difficulties,
Are big and will never end,
Only to find that this is only the beginning,
Swallowing me up,time after time,
Day after day...
I wonder,would I be drown by it...
Someday?

But hey,is He not greater than all of the above?
Is He not bigger and stronger?
Is His ways not higher?
His hands not bigger?
His love not deeper?
I’ll choose to trust in Him,
Knowing He will never leave me nor forsake me,
And His promises are Yes and Amen!
Trials and sufferings in this world may seem bigger...
And will never end,
But deep down,
I’m assured...
That things waiting for me in eternity,
Are far more greater than all my sufferings here.

* Inspired by last Sunday’s worship (8 July 07) from the song All Hail King Jesus~And throughout eternity, I’ll sing Your praises, And I’ll reign with You throughout eternity~ It means to me that the trials and sufferings in this world seems big and will never end, but I’m assured that things waiting for me in eternity are far more greater than all I’m going through now and about to go through in the many years to come. This tough times seem long,but eternity will even be longer. What am I going to do throughout eternity,I wonder? Worship! Yes,worship. =)

Please check it out.. Nothing to lose,right? ;)

Thanks.. Take care.. =)

Greatest Olympian!

Michael Phelps...

A man where no man has ever gone before...

8 GOLD medals in a single Olympics! Record breaker.. Incredible swimmer.. Set 7 world records and 1 Olympic record, doing a personal best time in every event. A man who has created history for himself.. A man who has done what seemed almost impossible. Even if (let's say someone in the future) is able to break his 8 gold medals olympics record, he, Michael Phelps will still be remembered as a living legend for a very long, long time!

Well done!

Impossible is nothing.. ;D

Today was the first day of college for a new,second semester... Which means I've finished my first semester and semester break too! Whee~ :D

Seriously, God has been so merciful and gracious to me. From assignments to assignments, projects to projects, exams to exams.. The strength He has given me with all the late nights..
Last semester.. I've held on tightly onto one verse which was :

For NOTHING is impossible with God. Luke 1:37
Though it's a simple and short verse, yet it gave me so much of strength and hope especially when I have to meet due dates for assignments, projects and at the same time study for exams. Not small thing, not big thing, not some thing.. but NO thing is impossible with God. So be encouraged,people! For indeed, NOTHING is impossible with God!
Ciaoz..


What a tragic day!

Yesterday, after church.. As my mum,my small bro and myself were just standing outside the car at the car park lot.. a chinese man with one of his hand full of dried-up blood stains together with his wife,who was driving the motorbike all of a sudden stopped by to ask for a few hundred bucks! The man said he just met with an accident and urgently needs money to see a doctor. Alot of brief conversations carried on here as my mum bagan to questioned him as to why can't he go to a doctor nearby but all the way to his so-called company's doctor. And he replied,"It's cheaper." And he said he would return the money later on.. He will give his wife's IC for us to keep as a guarantee.. Bet the IC is fake.. Anyway, mum gave him RM 10 to help him coz as she says we do not know what desperate situation they are in. And at least he will go away.. After he saw my mum giving his wife the RM 10,he headed to another car starting the same thing all over again.. showing his hand full of dried blood and began to ask for money again..

Honestly, I felt a little disappointed to see that chinese couple doing such a thing.. The stories,the lies.. Everything.. I don't like it.. But at the same time I pray that whatever circumstances they're going through,I pray God will bring them through.. It breaks my heart to see them do such a thing.. But yet I believe they are in a desperate enough situation to lead them to carry out such actions..

And I thank my God so much for protecting each and every one of us yesterday. Anything could have happened yesterday. Really anything! Who knows if he would just snatch my mum's handbag.. Or mine.. Who knows if he is hiding a knife or anything? Who knows if he would hurt my youngest bro or anyone of us.. And the lists of who knows goes on.... So, once again.. Thank You God, so much for Your protection and covering.. It's amazing to know that no matter what situations be it dangerous or not,YOU,God are still in control. =) And having the peace that is beyond understanding..
