snores....................................

I suppose asleep now. I mean still asleep. In my own dreamland. But..................................i was awake for one whole night. Because of the THUNDEROUS SNORES in my room @..@ Starting from 5am til now.

I lied on the bed staring at the ceiling and took a loooooong time thinking whether want to take my ear-plug in my bag. (in my heart I was like...@#$%^&**!!!!!!) If I do that, I'll surely wake her (mom) up. Hey, don’t misunderstood me, it was not my mom who snores that loud that made me sleepless @..@ Neither I won't tell you who is that person. Just to protect people's reputation =D

In the end, I couldn’t stand anymore then I took my mp3 (ok, I've discovered the greatest usage of mp3 >..<") Then I turn on the level to the...quite loud. STILL I CAN HEAR THE SNORES! @..@""" (I told myself, I’ll never get married with a guy who snores!) Guess what, my mom woke up and told me there is nobody's downstairs =P (note : I'm staying overnight at relatives house) When I heard that, I was REALLY HAPPY. So touching that I wanted to cry T..T Then I’m here at the living room all by myself. Perfect silence. Perfect PEACE >..< So quiet that my ears ache. hahahaha...
But then hor, I was reminded with one verse from the scripture. That ring so soft and yet powerful in my mind. That is..."do not complaint, so that you will be blameless..."

Life lesson......learned.

The other person just came downstairs and sleeps on the sofa...and he snores too..................................................................................................................! XD

Life is full of trials @..@

Funny story =D

An atheist was walking through the woods.
“What majestic trees”!
“What powerful rivers”!
“What beautiful animals”! He said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing in on him.
He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer. He tripped & fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the Atheist cried out, “Oh my God!”

Time Stopped.The bear froze.The forest was silent.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.
“You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don’t exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident.”
“Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer”?
The atheist looked directly into the light,
“It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian”?

“Very Well,” said the voice.

The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke:
“Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.”

"Chap Goh May"

My mind just came across with the chap goh may celebration that was held in my church on last saturday. Ya, as sze yan said, numbers of youths in our church were really limited, so basically everyone has a job/jobs to do on that night. The commitees for this event :

FOOD : aunt wai koon
INVITATION CARD : me
GAMES : sze yan
TRANSPORTATION : yee siang, aunt reb, sze yeng...
USHERING : ee ren, guo ren
CLEANING : EVERYONE

This event was actually clashed with the DTS in Kluang...I wanted to go so much...but I couldn't make it. They were having much fun in that as I can read them from Christina's blog T..T

Days before, me and sze yan went to Jusco and give out all the invitation cards (100 pieces of them) to the strangers. We spent two days on that. The first day rather scary. Then I remember the S-M-I-L-E program that I've learned during mission (YMI). Then I told myself :"Yea, its time to apply..." Then I slowly gain the boldness to do that ^^ Then the second time was on Valentines Day... (argh! not a right time...@..@) The mall was full of couples and only couples =..=. I never knew there can be so many couples in Ipoh...couples...couples...couples...couples...couples!!!!!! That has actually make it more difficult for us.
yan : "eh, if you wanna give the cards to the couple hor, give it to the girl first..."
me : "ok..."
conclusion...some were responsive...some were rather...sigh...

On that day (chap goh may), I saw no one that we've given the card to came...and the number of people came was much lesser than we estimated. I was actually disappointed. I started to wonder why after we've spent so much time on that and what it came out was so disappointing. At that moment I started to doubt whether my service is needed. Was I doing something unnessacery? Then I remember another verse I read from the scripture...

Jeremiah 7:21-23 :
This what the LORD Almighty, the God of Isreal, says:"Away with your burnt offerings and sacrifices! Eat them yourselves! When I led your ancestors out if Egypt, it was not burnt offerings and sacrifices I wanted from them. This is what I told them: Obey me, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Only do as I say, and all will be well!"

This is what I've learned: When He called you to do something, just do it. The result doesn't really matter after all. Just do it! And "all will be well"...

The one and only healthy activity after SPM

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

looking out from the badminton court...

Enjoying ice-cream after intensive sport... At least to me it is =..=.

Woke up at 3 something in the evening today...feeling real dizzy and hungry... ( Thats my waking hour recently, just because of my phone is malfunctioning and so I cant set alarm =P Most of the time I need to smash my phone a few times then only I can see the "charging signal" @..@ Tough phone I have >..< ) After feeding myself, my brother asked me to play badminton with him. So, I took a loooong time to prepare myself ^^ I was actually dont feel like going out, I want to stick with the computer and my cozy bed, but...sigh, I have to go cuz I promised him that last night.

We walk there to the badminton court (near my house)...it was just a walking distance, but I started to grumble about too hot, too far away...and bla bla bla...

When we reached, my brother went and book the court. After that I was told that, he booked for TWO HOURS! Then I grumble even more =..=. Actually we rest more than play. Rested 5 times. hahahahahahahaha... =..=.

(Actually most of the pictures were taken by my brother. If you were there, you can see how unwilling he was *lols*)

Anyway, it was fun though.

Permed v(>..<)v

new year, new beginning, new HAIR STYLE!

daily food for my curly hair @..@

Yay! Finally, my mom has allowed me to perm my hair! (szeyan, we're of the same species now, hehe) She never agree to let me perm curly hair, because she says that curly hair makes one look more mature (aunty) and is quite hard to maintain. But...but...I'm really tired of straight hair already! Since this is new year, I wanna do something different. But in doing so, you have to pay for that. Example?

One, that is quite expensive (okay, I know that word is not in your vocab).

Two, I sat there for more than 6 HOURS!

I fell asleep...when i woke up, I saw SUNSHINE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTS ON MY HEAD *panic* My mom just called me saying that NEVER to dye any colour to do with yellow. Then later only I knew that was the base colour *phew* After that I dare not sleep again...

During dinner just now, it happen that my ex-neighbour is the boss of that restaurant. She chatted with my uncle and I just sat there and listen. She looked at me for a few times then finally she asked.

Ex-neighbour : Are you the one that wears a spec last time? *she even did the demo of wearing a spec =..=*

Me : Ya ya...

Ex-neighbour : Wow, last time you were just a small kid. Look at you now, you've grown up! Permed your hair somemore...look prettier now.

Me : *smile* Ha, no la no la... (haha, this is what a typical asian kid will do in such situation =D)

After that I went to Tesco with mom. While I was on the elevator, I thought to myself :"Will I see anchor again before I goes to sleep tonight?" Guess what, a girl walked passed me and I notice that her hand bag has a BIG ANCHOR printed on it (At least big enough for me to see from far). Okay, this is the sixth times already...

I was overwhelmed. Really. I've never experience such real-ness of God. For those who read this you may think that I'm a bit out of my mind, and most probably thinking that I am overreacting. But will you still be holding on to that opinion when I tell you that I've been seeing "anchor" EVERYDAY since last week? Honest speaking, ask yourself. This is absolutely NOT some kind of coincidence. He's gonna speaks this time.

Anchor...again.

This is the fifth time already.

Okay, I'll do the word search now...

An anchor is an object, often made out of metal, that is used to attach a ship to the bottom of a body of water at a specific point. There are two primary classes of anchors—temporary and permanent. A permanent anchor is often called a mooring, and is rarely moved; it is quite possible the vessel cannot hoist it aboard but must hire a service to move or maintain it. A temporary anchor is usually carried by the vessel, and hoisted aboard whenever the vessel is under way; it is what most non-sailors mean when they refer to an anchor. A sea anchor is a related device used when the water depth makes using a mooring or temporary anchor impractical. The hole through which an anchor rope passes is known as a hawsepipe.
An anchor works by resisting the movement force of the vessel which is attached to it. There are two primary ways to do this — via sheer mass, and by "hooking" into the seabed. It may seem logical to think wind and currents are the largest forces an anchor must overcome, but actually the vertical movement of waves develop the largest loads[citation needed], and modern anchors are designed to use a combination of technique and shape to resist all these forces.
An interesting element of anchor jargon is the term aweigh, which describes the anchor when it is hanging on the rope, not resting on the bottom; this is linked to the term to weigh anchor, meaning to lift the anchor from the sea bed, allowing the ship or boat to move. An anchor is described as aweigh when it has been broken out of the bottom and is being hauled up to be stowed. Aweigh should not be confused with under way, which describes a vessel which is not moored to a dock or anchored, whether or not it is moving through the water. Thus, a vessel can be under way (or underway) with no way on (i.e., not moving).

The main point is coming in...

An anchor frequently appears on the flags and coats-of-arms of institutions involved with the sea, both naval and commercial.
There also exists in heraldry the "Anchored Cross", or Mariner's Cross, a stylized cross in the shape of an anchor. The symbol can be used to signify 'fresh start' or 'hope'.

Hebrews 6 : 19-20
19 This confidence is like a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain of heaven into God's inner sanctuary. 20 Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the line of Melchizedek. (NLT)

I am amazed on how sometimes God uses different ways to talk to His people. Yes, this year is gonna be a fresh start. To leave all my past and failures behind and to look forward to the great things that God is gonna do in my life =)

I'm back!

Its been always good to be home. I took a long long bath once I've arrived home. After that I sat on the sofa and enjoyed a cup of water. Yea, I'm not kidding. Not orange juice. Not apple juice. Not any kind of juices you can name now. Ya, its WATER. Ipoh's sweet and fresh water XD
Went dinner with relatives just now. Feeling uneasy cuz its a vegetarian restaurant. But somehow I was reminded once again that "none shall perish".

1053 :
I'm on my way back Ipoh now. In a train. Although this cant compare to the one in Japan but mind you. I just love it. As I look to my right, I can see lots of trees. After the rain, the land was green with new growth. Actually I was feeling sad this morning, somemore its raining. That has actually add to my sadness. But now as I look out to the window, I see the sun is smiling at me again. So warm, so tender =)
Just gave my parents a call. Then I started to worry. I do not know what are the trials awaits me when I'm back home again. Will I remain the same as I used to be or change for a better? I think the hardest thing throughout the three weeks of training in Kluang was not the coping-with-kids part, nor the feeling of missing home, but to really live out my faith, to put into practice of what I've learnt. I really really wanted to make a difference deep down inside my heart.

We (me + szeyan + yihui) arrived Ipoh around 6p.m.. Waited for a while, mom came and pick me up. As I put my luggage in the boot, I notice that my 4 year-old sister has grown a bit taller after not seeing her for just one month...amazed. The road was wet. Should be just after the rain. Then I saw rainbow. Rainbow meant a lot to me. I remember last time I did badly in my final and while i was crying, a friend of mine msg me and asked me to look to the sky. (That friend doesnt know that I was crying) I saw rainbow. I felt so touch that I cried even more =..= I saw rainbow when I'm sad most of the time, but this evening I felt somehow comforted by His reassurance =)

I was looking through all the pictures during the training. I saw anchor again. In that picture, a kid is holding a sketch book and the anchor was printed on it. Actually I saw anchor in my mind during my quiet time. At first I thought that it was just my own silly thought and just forget about it. But then from that day onwards, I kept on seeing anchor everyday. The first time is in church. a girl was wearing a T-shirt with an anchor printed on it. The second time is on the tv. The third time is on a cup. And this is the forth time......

God, what are you trying to tell me?
