NEW YEAR!!!!

Yes! I plagarized this picture from an unknown website!

But HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!

24 Things I Did When I was 24

1) Changed job in 1 year.
Not something I’m entirely proud of. But considering the odds of getting better offers along the way, not withstanding the fact that my salary income has had a total increment of 36% in less than a year, I’m one lucky lady. Beyond Blessed.

2) Went into Civil Service.
That, being the latest addition to my many shocking personal changes. Yes. I’m a government servant now. The one you always go “Oh no! Not the striking-hot-red-tapes-procedures-amazing break-times-even-more-amazing-employee-benefits-I’m-the-only-chinese-officer-for-Pete’s-sake” things. But yeah. Find me in Komtar. I can see the Penang Bridge from my office. And maybe, just maybe, I can see you from here. Be warned.

3) Travelled to Sabah.
Sutera Harbour Resort – Manukan Island – International Boutec Hotel – Tamu Market – Ocean Seafood Village – Warisan Square – 1Borneo – Jessica. First holiday in a year. I needed that trip thank you very much.

4) Chat through a phone with a platonic male friend – for almost 2 hours
Apologized profusely to Ellex for the next like half year or so. Ellex was really patient with me. (Actually, it was more of the ubi keledek keropok keeping her company all the way through out. Luckily it was a really huge container :P) And the total stranger turned out to be one of my platonic besties now!

5) Got a Green Card
A CIDB Card that is. No. I do not become an American citizen when I register with this green card. I get to go into construction sites.

6) Join a Diet Program
Ahh. The Amway Double or Triple X slimming program thingy. Got all excited over hitting the gym, attending seminars, and even a care group. But, like all things wonderful in wonderland, it sizzled. Thankfully, my fat sizzled a little as well. *gives a good pat on the back*. A proud **kgs as of 26 December 2009.

7) Gave a Really *Ouch* Building Fund
Pastor Saras is good at it. :P But God gave me a number which I knew would bless me and my household for years to come. So I gave. You decide on the blessings. Then join me for the next building fund.

8) Seen through a total of 2 superior retirement
And all is good.

9) Learnt Building Operations and Maintenance
And I have learnt how to manage customer services, liason between contractors and owners. I now no longer look down on guards, cleaners, landscapers, labour workers. I respect them for the work they do. Now, I can even fix plumbing pipes, light bulbs, and mend plastering cracklines. *Beat that, gentlemen!*

10) Went to my first Company Annual Dinner – as a permanent staff
But also my last, with my company.

11) Welcomed to a new Cell Group – Adult’s CG!
November I think. Learning to grow with CHCPG. It’s been amazing so far.

12) Lead a Cell Group – High School and later on University
Learning to Lean of Him each day. *smack*

13) Fell in love – Then Out – Then In – Then Out
Friendster terms it as “it’s complicated”. But it’s more of being in the dating scene. No one said it would be easy choosing your life partner. *winks*

14) Became a “Chee Mui” for 2 weddings – Back to Back
A. Bit. SAD case. But the whole event has been amazing, knowing my friends and family members have found their true loves.

15) Attended 3 Weddings in 1 Month
Alvina’s, Su Wah’s and Daniel’s. Amazing friends who’ve found amazing better halfs.

16) Shopped for clothes online
And highly recommend it.

17) Lived in Penang for almost a year
And loving every moment of it. Transition period between Johor and Penang completed. It’s time to move on.

18) Loving God
Rekindling my love for You. And knowing how much Abba Father, my family and friends loves me. It’s been an amazing journey.

19) Encountered a “gangsta” fight between ah longs and victim.
Live. They went like, “ka-pow”, complete with Bruce Lee’s side kick and wooden sticks. Awesome.

20) Love and loved in return.
Rekindling my love for You. And knowing how much Abba Father, my family and friends loves me. It’s been an amazing journey.

21) Hit the Gym (Did-I-mentioned-that-already?)
With Alvina! But alas… that sizzled down as well down the drain. FAIL. Alvina! Must start hitting the gym again liao!

22) Bought 2 pairs of shoe.
Ok. For those who’ve known me long enough, it’s not like I’m going to be shoe shopping anytime soon (except CNY of course). I’m more of a sucker for clothes. So, 2 pairs of shoe? Should last me for 2 years.

23) Met Mr Lim
For official purpose only. Ahem. No. Not the one in Genting Highlands. It’s the one in Penang. Hehe.

24) There’s more to look forward to my future, and I can’t wait to walk this journey with My Shepherd.

And on this blessed day, I turn 25. Happy birthday to me.

Migraine

Sucks.

It hurts.

And numbs.

The senses.

It's Time to Dream Again

Well, like they say, maybe... 3rd time's a charm.

Because from this day onwards, I become a civil servant.

Like Joseph. Or Daniel. Or Esther.

Balan (my very rocker CG leader) said that I will be the salt of the earth and light of the world in the government sector.

I said.... Man, I need to work on that part. Like big time. Salt must be 'cukup rasa' and light must be 'terang benderang'.

But God said that a city set on a hill cannot be hidden. And He also said that we must seek first the kingdom of God and ALL this shall be added unto you.

So, right now, I am going to seek him. It's time to dream and believe again.

Because He first loved us. Amen

Candle Light

Today, I see the candle I once lit flickering in time, just fade away.

Today, I leave it all behind.

The Next Move

I'm afraid.
I'm afraid of how my conscience would affect my decisions.
I'm afraid of how my actions would determine my consequences.

This is the equivalent of me being in a battlefield - on a chessboard.

It's the equivalent of the ever classic Kasparov vs Muratkuliev 1973 battle, where the next move, Qg5 Qxg5, ultimately determined the fates of the dark side... When 2 beauties collided, when the intensity of battleship between two kingdoms collide, and the ultimate stake at hand - The King's Head. Power. Glory. Money.

And that the seven ultimate sins of the world; finally brought the dark side to its very own downfall...

Yeah.

I'm kinda going through something like that now.

Or the lack of it.

Fine. Not so drama.

But I'm afraid. A lot is at stake. And there is a price to pay. RM24k to be exact.

So....What should my next move be?

I Need A Break...

Seriously.

I need a break.

Achtung Baby!

Stressed Out.
Emotional High, and low.
Disgusting Tops, and Bottoms.
Directionless.
Tard boring.
Inspirationless.
Mind boggling.
Deprived of variety.
Trying too much and achieving none.
Indiscriminate.
Black,Black,Black,Black.

I need a new wardrobe. *Winkadoo...*

Directionless..

ALL HAIL COLDPLAY

Courtesy of these websites (more like plagiarized).

Awesome pics from the Wembley Stadium of their latest tour.

And it does constantly hit me that Coldplay was in fact in Singapore not too long ago *smack*

Goodness I wanna go to a rock concert. Like now.

Zzzzz. Goodnight peeps

And One Year Later

It boils down to this.

That I am thankful for the support, comfort and blessings that have come by my way, in ways God has revealed so beautifully, within this one single year.

That I am thankful for the plans that God himself has unraveled for me, His paths that He has directed me in (and make me walk in, although, being the mule I am, I do tend to wanna take the short cut, but let's leave the narcissism for another time, shall we?) and leading me front line toward the goals, the dreams, the very person God has set me to be the person He wants me to be.

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams." - Acts 2:17

And yes, even though He's still working inside of me (and we could all use some help here), I can say to myself, that I have indeed moved on.

*Gives self a pat on the back* Hehehehe.

And now it's time to REALLY clear the clutters in my room. Arrrggghhh.

Amazing Poem

The Fun Theory

Can we get more people to do the things they don't do by making it fun to do?





So is MPPP like going to consider these anytime soon?

An Open Letter to Me

If all it takes is simply an exchange of words, to break a person's heart, or put a person down, emotionally, mentally and spiritually...

Then it only goes to show, that we are only human. Fragile and vulnerable in the eyes of the Almighty.

Strong in our physical built up of our bodies, yet so weak from the inside of our hearts.

Wonderfully created in the eyes of God, yet flawed from the perfected standard of God.

Everyday I learn to balance between the two abstract elements. And finding my own strength, learning my weakness, embracing it and moving forward...

It's just beautiful, isn't it?

Unprecedented Stress Level

Heineken anyone?

A Walk in the Beach

Emo mode on. Again.

.....................................................and then there's loneliness to deal with. Crap.

A sign of weakness.
A sign of vulnerability.
A sign of whatever you'd want to call it.

I need to go to the beach for my walk.

I just need to sit down, and talk to God once again.

Yeah.

Anyone wants to tag along? Burps*

Bad

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

Oooh oooh, oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh...

To let it go! And so fade away
To let it go!
And so fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping, oh no, no, no

If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

Oooh oooh, oooh oooh, oooh oooh oooh...

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go

This desparation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation

Let it go
And so fade away
To let it go, oh yeah
And so fade away
To let it go, oh No
And so fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping oh no no

If ever I had the chance, play this song in my funeral, followed by "where the streets have no name"... Just like the way it was played in Live in Boston 2001...

Ok Kidding. But Damn.

Just watch the clips in between the two songs... You'll know what I mean...





It's like worshipping God... It's gotta be God working in the midst...

Goosebumps?? You bet...

In All Hunger-ness

Caution: Emo mode activated

Temptation has almost gotten the better of me. Or the worst, more like. If ever I would to send out a post secret card, it would have had a statement which goes something like this:

I wished that you would have touched my face, hugged, and kissed me...

But it was all over when I suddenly woke up.

*Damn Potong Steam Arrr**And No... Don't even get me started on the content of it*

Determined

To work some issues.
To make sure these issues gets resolved, for good, if possible.
To resolve these issues, before they go out of hand.
To work them out.

And then to move on...
ROAR!!
