Blessed Christmas!

Its that time of the year, that time of the season where my blog goes dead and takes like forever to be updated again. Sorry readers, i have been lazy and lacking of pictures and stuff to post about. oh wait, i have Brisbane posts to upload, but im still too lazy, really! i think my laptop has only been switched on less than 10 times since i got back almost 3 weeks ago! :S My room, is still in a bit of a mess to take a picture and to be posted up here...

So my christmas was good.. Church in the morning.. shopping in the afternoon and lazing around at home by night time! :)

Ohhh besides lazing, my little benny lulu brought back his wii for me to play so for now im still occupied. I think im also getting older because even with a car im super lazy to go out! :P

Today ill update on Ee Eng's birthday! Every christmas eve is dedicated to our christmas eve baby! and this year we went Kelantan-ish style! The food i mean! Nasi kerabu and laksang! :P

My two cousins! :D

The women of the house:)

Okiessss... thats it this time! just a lil update to say im alive, well and fatter :D

Its been about three- four days since i got home so its about time i update whats been going on:) im sure my loyal readers are eagerly waiting:)

Havent been doing much except for sleeping and unpacking.. still half done but im getting there.. I have been so tired since i touched down.. i have to stop being lazy and start my gym routine again:)

Ohhh and im home alone.. so im pretty much the kakak cleaning and redecorating my room.. its still in a mess so when i get it nice and pretty maybe ill post it up here for memories sake:)

To all my Brisbane friends,

I want to say a big thank you for coming to the airport to send me off and for the multiple farewells, hugs, little notes, gifts and words of encouragement. It really blesses my heart to know that im someone special to all of you:) It really means alot and im already missing all of you! Still trying to adapt to the malaysian lifestyle but major jetlag coz im extremely tired by 10pm and i wake up at 6am :S Ill post a Brissy post when i get around it:D

A funny picture of my parents at mt cootha! :P trust me mummy insisted on the crazy pose! haha! Like mother like daughter:P

Girlfriends

I must say God has bless me with many things in life but one blessing i cannot thank Him enough is the gift of the best girlfriends in the world:) I have so many close girlfriends and i think, not everyone is as privilege as me!

Last night had dress up dinner with the most beautiful girls to celebrate our results.. Had so much fun laughing and talking nonsense! :)

This is definitely something i will miss for the rest of my life from Brisbane! :(

This day is the end of my journey in Brisbane but the beginning of a beautiful friendship..

Till we meet again in Malaysia, Singapore or Indonesia:)

the warmth of serving hearts

Im feeling extremely tired now but i feel i really need to make it a point to put down today because it will definitely encourage me in the future. Ushering team had a farewell for me, Alexa and Analeigh.

To be honest i am very touched with all the kind words and encouragement they said about me. Sometimes i really feel i am not as capable of being a leader like how they described me but im very encouraged and happy to hear that my presence and rising up as a leader has blessed many lives. Each and everyone of them have so many God given gifts that make UQB ushering team so special. Indeed hearts are being changed and we are living out the vision of bringing people to people, people to God and people to places. Im proud to lead you all!!

Points to remember**While Seya prayed for me she felt a sense of authority while Adeline saw a vision of a special breed of horse that had a majestic aura and ran freely and fast.

Im sure one day ill think back and recollect the different words of encouragement and know that I have been equipped and prepared for greater things back home:D

living out the sunshine coast!

This post is gonna be filled with group photos:D

A trip to Sunshine Coast! How can a road trip be any more fun than with my favourite foodie girls:)

We started the journey with a very girly breakfast at "Comfort at my table" cafe

Eeek! My internet down again:( but thank God for iphone and data plan so i can post on yet another special date! This month is full of special dates and numbers:)

Anyways im as busy as a bee now that its after exams! More busy and tired than during the exam period but thats a Good sign coz im living out brisbane to the fullest! Heheh.. Church conference, twilight and sunshine coast!! All with the people i love:)

Will update soon! Sorry its a short post but it already looks super long here!

Need to do some face exercise! The onli thing i dislike about being happy is tht the cheeks start to become chubby :S

Till we meet again...

Last night had dinner with Danica and Rachel.. It was a "heavy heart" dinner because it was probably the last dinner or time we would ever see each other.. We might see each other again in the future but for now it possibly is zero chance. I could see she felt the same when i gave her a small gift and she was reluctant to take it...

Danica is one of the most friendly and sweet friend ive ever met in Brisbane. She is always with a smile and an encouraging spirit and never fails to remind me that i have done my best!

We first met in food engineering a year ago and ever since we have occasionally invited her to join our girly reunions:D Recently she also came to join UQ8 and listening to how much she have learned and like about our group is simply heartwarming..

So cheers to a great friendship, take care and hopefully one day we will see each other again!

Your love is higher, deeper and wider!

Had lunch and catch up session with dear Wen Huey! My Lee Min Ho fan partner! :) :) Love the time we spent today! Had such a good bonding session! :) Japanese food was superb too!

and just to end with a picture i really like of me! :) sorry i need to syok sendiri here!

God Loves us! His ways are higher...

The internet in my house has been really bad lately.. i keep getting disconnected and the only way was to restart the modem.. Maybe its a sign or the hand of God trying to keep me from Facebook and doing unnecessary things..

Slow because ive still got so much to do, so many places to eat, so many precious people to spend time with!

Treasures are waiting at the end of the rainbow:)

Have you ever cried so much, your eyes felt like they had a fever and are swelling up to the size of fishballs?

Have you ever rub your nose so much, it felt like it was gonna drop?

Have you ever not sleep for more than 2 hours within 24 hours that every muscle ached so bad?

A broken heart is worst than the above.. its worst than a hangover, its worst than being sick, its beyond just throwing your heart from a 200 storey building and beyond simply explaning "i suffered more than a thousand stabs".

As much as it still hurts, as difficult it is to see beyond the pain, as painful it is to let go, life needs to go on... "Oh God,i know im wrong in so many ways but please help me go through this"

Thank you Sabrina for the song:)

Guinea pigs can fly?

Had a crazy dream this afternoon.. I dreamt that a guinea pig flew past me! and i was like WOAAAAAAH!

Ok so for those that dont know, guinea pigs dont fly. At least they shouldnt be flying.

Totally random! Maybe im a teeny weeny beeny stressed out unconciously to dream of such things..

Just a post to overwrite the emo post :)

The power of love

Its been a tough week, thankfully time is running at the speed of light!

Really thank God for occupying me with different things and most of all sending different ones to blessed me at this down period.

I wouldnt say im okay completely but i just feel so touched by the love from different ones around me.

Wen Huey, Sabrina, Cintia, Veon ,Venurs and Tse Chien! I really thank you for reminding me that im loved! :)

So to my loyal readers, just so you know- there might be more emo posts coming soon but quote Wen Huey "Dont act strong, BE STRONG!".. Im really trying so hopefully ill have more happier posts too!

Breakeven

What am i supposed to do when the best part of me was always you...

What am i supposed to say when im all choked up and you're okay?

Breakeven, The Script

Harder than i thought, more painful than before:(

Balancing act- LIFE

Sometimes we need to look forward to understand the pain we are going through

Sometimes we just have to pause and seize the moment, treasure the memories being made

Sometimes its like jumping on air, hoping that we can live being high all the time...

But overall its about how you juggle the good and the bad...

as painful as it feels, God never fails to bring different ones to remind how blessed i am.. and to look upon the one who will look beyond the ugly and mistakes ive made ...

Picture mania

I have 3 albums waiting to be put up on fb and my hand is starting to feel itchy already! Thank God to endure through the next one day of my fast, i have filled up my day with more productive things like gym, shepherding and dinner with the housemate:)

The mid sem break is finally here! So relieved! I have never felt like i so badly deserve and need a break! *ive been very hardworking k!! :):)
