29th January 2010

Today marks the 5th year of my blogging. Time flies! It seems like it’s just yesterday that I just started blogging. =)

So, as I had promised, my new domain is ready and up now!

www.LynthiaWong.com

 

It’s still very new and empty but, I’ll put more stuffs into it very soon! Btw, that picture is the header of my domain. Just photoshopped it yesterday. Very amateur! But, it’s a temporary one since I haven’t decide on how I want the header to be.

Please remember to change my link on your blogs or you can also add a new one. =) This blog will still be open for you to read my old posts. Enjoy!

Taking a Break

Sorry people! I'm kind of taking a break from blogging while saving some interesting things to blog about for my new domain. So, you won't be seeing a lot of new posts here now. =( And so sorry too because I don't want to reveal my new address because there are some more things to settle. Don't worry, it'll definitely be ready on 29th Jan!

25th January is coming in less than a day time. And in case you're wondering what's up with this date, that's the date my results will be released. And duh! I'm nervous but, I'm remaining calm and committing my results into God's hands. Please, please pray for me! I want this to be good and I know it'll be because I have faith in Him. May God bless my results and that my results will be awesome to glorify His name. Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

So, besides the 25th Jan issue, I've been working out lately on the treadmill and bicycle. It's tiring but, I feel really good and I know every minute of the pain, I'm slowly turning to the life of a healthy person. So, yes, it's worth the sweat and pain. Also, I just started taking guitar lessons. Today is just my first day and I like it! I'm taking the lessons with Lynna. Reason why I'm taking guitar lessons again is because I need to brush up my skills. I need to learn the right way in order to play better next time. And not forgetting, I need to improve so I can play for church one day.

I guess I better take a rest now. Don't know why I'm feeling quite tired. Had been out every night last week and it's not a very good choice. Got to go rest before I start my workout today!

P/s: Please continue to pray for my results. I will call the college in the morning to ask for my results. My first time so, please pray for me! =)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Update: I called to ask for my results this morning. Actually, I called for so many times but, it was too early. So, I called after my friend texted me. Thank you for all your prayers, I got 3 As and 1 B. Yes, you got it right. B for Physics. I'm very depressed but, no matter what, all glory to God. Praise the Lord for the rest of the As. There are so many things that happened to cause this B. Well, at least we all know who are those who played the important role in getting this B. =( Please, continue to remember me for your prayers. I really pray that I don't need to be returning to college so soon. So many things to do and I really need more of the time I have with family and friends. I don't want to waste it for other unnecessary things yet. Lastly, congrats to those for their awesome results! Praise the Lord and may God's name be glorified through our results!

Random Rambles

There’s always a particular point when I will have nothing to blog at all. And at that time, I will always abandon my blog and wander aimlessly in time. Having nothing to blog about is very disheartening to me because I really take this as if it’s a part of me. To have the opportunity to blog to me is an opportunity to express myself.

As I read other blogs, I envy them for having so many things to blog about. No matter it’s about relationships, traveling to awesome places, advertorials or even random bla-blas, I always have this little dream in me to blog like them. To have so many things to say about something is what I’m secretly wishing for.

However, I always find myself setting a limit when I blog. It’s either I should prevent myself from saying something overboard or criticizing something that I’m unhappy with. And sometimes, I couldn’t even blog about something I’m very emo about especially my feelings to people. I think I’m too afraid of saying something that might cause people to hate me and attack my feelings. I’m such a coward!

And because of this, I want this to be one of my 2010 resolutions. That is to be more brave to blog about anything that I feel like talking about. To be able to blog more random bla-blas and stop limiting myself too much when I blog.

It’s time for me move on to be a better blogger. And hope you’ll find a better me in my new domain by end of this month.

Progress

So sorry for not updating often lately. I have been quite busy. I am currently working on my domain to get it done before 29th January.

The design is not done yet. In fact, I haven’t get started with it! =(

However, I’m trying to complete a few more pages. And I’m now thinking whether to import all my posts here to the new domain or not. Please give me some suggestions. What would you all like? A fresh new domain or a domain which has all my old posts since the first day I started blogging?

I’ll let you all decide since you are the readers. So, decide well! =)

I guess I better get back to it now. Stay tune!

I'm On My Way

Guess what?! I'm on my way to setting my new domain! I'm really excited about it but, please wait for about 2 weeks more. I need time to import all my posts since 2005 and I still have a web design to settle.

Hope it's going to be done by 29 Jan 2010.

Btw, I just got back from church today. The sermon today was awesome. Pastor preached about spiritual gifts. Something that I have been thinking and praying a lot about. And I am still discovering that very special gift God has given to me.

This is just a short, random post. Will update soon with more complete posts. =) God bless!

Poor Vision

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not the vision of my life or what-so-ever. What I mean by poor vision is my eye-sight.

It’s getting worse. =(

I went to make a new pair of glasses 2 nights ago and I was told that my astigmatism has increased! However, my degree for both eyes are still the same. At least I could comfort myself with this.

I chose a pair of simple black framed glasses =)

My previous astigmatism for right eye was 1.75 and now, it increased to 2.00! As for the left eye, it was 1.50 and now, it’s 1.75.

I wanted something like this! But, to be practical, I had to ditch this. =(

Apoo… I think I need to reduce my time of watching TV while going online on my laptop and also the DS Lite habit every night. Otherwise, my eye-sight will get even worse!

Meanwhile, I think I better start eating more carrots. Help~

Once My 2nd Home

I had spent half a decade of my life there.

The place where I once called my 2nd home because that’s where I spent most of my time. This place, which has a very special place in my heart, I call it St. Co.

Everyone will grow up one day. And for some people, school is just something less important and after graduating, they will soon forget about it. But, I’m different.

Why do I love my school so much?!

Not only did I got to know so many awesome friends whom I am so thankful for today, St. Co was the place I grew up learning so many things that I wouldn’t have if I was at another school.

All the things that I had gone through, whether it’s about Leo Club or Prefectorial Board, had taught me to be the person whom I am today.

Honestly, studying in St. Co for 5 years is one of my happiest moments in life. I’m just so thankful that I got to be part of this school.

Sometimes, I feel so funny and silly when thinking about my 5 years there. But, that’s also why people call it ‘the good old times’.

Yesterday, I just got a call from Lynna while running on the treadmill. She asked me to share something for the Form 1 orientation. I didn’t think much but, I just agreed.

And now, I’m panicking. I don’t know what to say. There are so many things to share but, I need to find the right thing to talk about. Must pray about it.

I know this is quite a random post but, I just suddenly got this reminiscing mood at the moment. =)

I b.liv

It was a few months back when I was still in college. I came across a blog and that’s where the b.liv Tagline Search Contest caught my attention. Feeling confident (just a little bit la!), I decided to join.

I submitted 4 taglines because I was kind of kiasu and couldn’t make up my mind which to send in. Lol!

Here’s some of the taglines I sent:

And of course, I got some help from Joanna and Yasmin too. =)

And on 25 Nov 2009, I received an email informing me that I won 2 categories! Yay! =) So, I got my junior to help me collect and post back the prizes back to me. After a month of waiting, I finally got it and guess who was trying to snatch the prizes away from me?!

Shoobie! So naughty. I didn’t even get to take a picture with my prizes. Haha! Don’t you think Shoo is soooo cute? Look at how happy he is in the picture. >_<

Those 2 hampers cost RM700 of b.liv products. I heard the products are really good so, I can’t wait to use it!

Thank you, b.liv!

Best Friend TV

I’m not sure whether I have mentioned this here before. TV is my best friend.

Hahahahahaha!!!

Yeah. Seriously. Since young, I love watching TV. I watch all kinds of shows; drama series, reality shows, talk shows and etc.

I think that’s where I developed my interest in acting. Because I tend to imitate and learn how the actors portray their characters. Soon, I learnt how to cry easily. Interesting eh? Too bad no where for me to apply my skills. =(

Btw, that’s not the whole point of this post.

So, here’s how I spend my everyday routine with my best friend:

My routine usually starts in the afternoon.

3.30pm – 4.30pm AEC ‘You’re My Destiny’ (Taiwanese drama)

4.30pm – 5.30pm AEC ‘Stepping Out’ (Singaporean drama)

7.00pm – 8.00pm AEC ‘Table of Glory’ (Singaporean drama)

8.00pm – 8.30pm Random channels like AFC, HMK, AXN

8.30pm – 10.30pm 8TV ‘Boys Over Flowers’ (Korean drama), AEC ‘E-News’ (Taiwanese) and WLT ‘Gem of Life’ (HK drama)

10.30pm – 11.00pm Random channels too

Usually, from 8.30pm to 10.30pm, I will be switching channels in between commercial breaks just so I can watch all together. And most of the time in the morning, I’ll either watch random channels or just go online. That’s why I don’t go online that often at night. Hehe…

I might sound like a TV freak or a TV desperado but, let me tell you this. I will not die without TV. I survived a long time without it when I was in college.

But, this addiction of mine will start whenever I’m free and have a TV around. For now, I want to watch as much as I can because I don’t think I will have the time and TV when I start studying again. That’s going to be for a long time. =(

Alright! I think I better get back to the treadmill while watching TV. =)

I ♥ Langkawi cont.

After island hopping, we met the Singaporean couple again at the Jetty Point after lunch.

We went to the tour agent office and decided to go to the cable car together. So, there we went!

Cable Car of Langkawi Geopark =)

It was quite a long journey there. Took about 20-30 minutes to reach the place. It’s located at the Oriental Village. We walked around the place a while before finding the cable car station.

When we got there, there were soooo many people queuing! But, determined to go for it, we joined the queue and waited for about 1 hour.

At the 2nd station up at the hill!

It was worth the waiting. And just like what I had mentioned on my previous post, the cable car ride was very scary!

Took this picture while on our way down…

Zoomed in to take this awesome picture of the 7 wells =)

It’s more than 700m above sea level and worst of all, it has the steepest gradient of 42°. It terrified me that I was holding on to the handle and praying all the time! Didn’t know I have fear of heights.

Look at how steep the cable was!

But, once we were up there, the view was spectacular and the temperature was lower. Love the place there. It was breathtaking!

Love the view up there!

With Mummy and Lynna =)

After snapping enough pictures there, we went to queue up again to go back to the ground. The ride then, was more relaxing and less terrifying. =) Phew!

I looked more relaxed when on the way down…

Later, we went to the mini zoo beside the station. Not many animals there. Just rabbits and deer which we could actually touch and feed. So cute!

 Cute deer!      

Then, we went to the Eagle’s Bay to take pictures! It’s very near to the Jetty Point, where we were earlier. The van driver told us that the eagle statue costed RM2 millions! No wonder so huge. =)

♥ Mummy and Daddy ♥

What a day in Langkawi! It was super fun and enjoyable. I totally didn’t expect it to be so fun. Glad we met the couple in hotel. We even ended up going around the town together for the whole day! What a blessing. =)

Verdict? Langkawi is a must go! Either with family (recommended) or friends, just go and you wouldn’t regret this.

Happy New 2010 Year!

Time flies. So fast that it feels as if it’s just yesterday that I was still in secondary school.

I kinda miss school!

Looking back on 2009, this very chapter of my life had been a great blessing from God.

CF rocks, God rocks!

Although there were times of trials and difficulties, they were all lessons that God wants me to learn. I never regret going through all these.

Trials and difficulties include gaining weight. But, I will not give up. Please pray for me =) 

And now, here comes 2010!

The year when I will turn a year older (duh!). Not that I care so much but, I will be turning 2 decades old!

20! 20! 20! 20!

The year when I will (might) be flying to a country which I have never stepped a foot in to study.

India, here I come.

The year when things will definitely change. And I hope the changes are good!

I cannot guarantee whether I, myself would change but, I can promise that I will improve and be a better person for God and everyone whom I love.

So, I guess it’s goodbye 2009 and hello to 2010. =)

      Yippee!!
