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. =)

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. =)

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!!

Donations, please!

This is so embarrassing!

I know a lot of you have already noticed me wearing the same tee over and over again. =(

Karaoke in Nov.

The green tee that I had been wearing to watch tennis, sing karaoke and even to Singapore trip!

Singapore trip in Dec.

It’s not like I only have one tee to wear but, I’m lacked of nice tees! No money to get nice ones.

ATP Malaysian Open in beginning Nov.

Donations, please? =(

Just kidding larr… I just like to wear it because it’s comfortable for me to wear to various events and places. It’s all about comfort right? But, a wider range of nice tees will do better for me. So, time to save $$$!! Lol.

Taking a Break =)

Let’s take a break from all the posts about my vacation alright? Here we go!

I was telling everyone in the car while on our way back to Miri from Sarikei, how much I miss singing karaoke. I’m not a frequent karaoke singer but, the fact that Green Box and Red Box are super good makes me want to sing again.

I know I looked awfully pale here because, I didn’t sleep well the night before… =(

Right after my last paper, I brought Sherp, together with my friends, to Seremban. We went to the Green Box in Jusco and sang 4 hours non-stop.

After our karaoke sesson at Green Box.

Next day, Sherp, NingJie and I went to Red Box for 4 hours again!

Singing non-stop.

I’m a no singer but, seriously, I enjoy singing very much! It’s just that I can’t sing on the right key. Still learning.

Unlike Sherp and my friends, they are awesome singers!

Plus, I can’t sing Chinese songs because I can’t read Chinese words. But, I like Chinese songs. So, the solution for me is to just simply mumble the words with the right tune.

Despite all these hurdles, I find singing helps me to relax more.

Look at our smiles! We looked so relaxed…

How I wish there’s a Green Box here in Miri! It’s so much cheaper and the facilities are superb. Good thing about it is that there are no 不三不四 people lingering around the place. All clean and safe.

I think I should just learn how to sing well so I can sing better next time when I go karaoke with friends. By that time, I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be needing the cotton buds anymore. Lol!

I’m gonna sing better the next time you see me! Muahahahaa…

Scrambled!

I have been living here in Miri for more than a decade. But, when asked, “Where is the best kueh chap here?” or “What’s the most popular food here in Miri?”, I will completely go nuts.

Anyone knows whether the sotong bakar at Taman Selera are good or where else?

Forgive me, but I feel like a noob as a Mirian. I realised I don’t know much thing about this awesome place. Maybe because I had been shut off from the world for the past 10 years due to the hectic life of a student.

Arcade, anyone?

Seriously, I didn’t go out often and always stayed at home studying. The times when I go out were all to tuitions.

My beloved high school!

Ok, Ok. Maybe not that sad. I did go out once in a while to shopping malls. And now, I go out more with friends. But, still, I don’t know much. Plus, the places that I go out to eat are always the same and I’m not even sure whether it’s nice or not. I don’t really have good taste buds.

Anyone knows where’s the best laksa in Miri?

I’m hosting a big group of friends from West Malaysia. I’m supposed to plan everything which include bringing them to the best food, interesting places and other important stuffs. OMG. What to do?

Should I bring them to eat crabs? To where then?

Dim Sum at 2020?

Suggestions please, people! I need ideas on where should I bring my friends to and what kind of food should I bring them to eat. I hope I can be a good host and definitely, I hope they’re going to enjoy Miri!

Got to bring them to Esplanade too!

P/s: Please email me here or leave a comment for ideas and suggestions. TQ!

Long time ago…

Kristine just tagged me 2 photos of me and some old friends on facebook. Guess how long back then?

Michelle, Kim, Me and a friend (I forgot who.. Sorry!) =)

5 years ago!

We’re Form 2 when Michelle and I attended the 'No Apologies’ workshop organised by my church. Back then, Michelle was a free thinker but, look at her now! She’s not only my bestie but also my sister-in-Christ!

We’re supposed to use this picture as our Moral project!

Talking about ‘No Apologies’, I still have the pledge card with me in my purse. Anyone still keeping it?

How I miss those old days! 

New Hair Cut

I had a new hair cut about a week ago. =(

My hair right before I got it chopped!

I wanted to do something to my hair like, either relax or rebond it. But, Mummy wanted me to just cut it.

So, there I went.

Just took this picture, so it should be a little shorter when I cut it last week…

I have natural curls but, it seems like my hair is always looking so messy because it’s quite short. So, the saloon owner suggested me to keep longer hair so, it’ll look just nice with the natural curls.

I want long hair!!! But, I got to wait longer and try get some slight trim every once a while.

Seriously… I can’t imagine myself with long hair. Can you?

Kay-Tee-Tee IV

Juniors. The juniors in my college is definitely different from my secondary school’s juniors. In the old days in secondary school, juniors are more likely to be referred as the prefects’ juniors. Not really the students who are younger than our batch.

But, that’s secondary school. Not in college.

When the juniors came in, I didn’t think I would be free or even willing to get to know them. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t close to my seniors. I was only close to Sharlyne and a few CF seniors. Call me anti-social but, not many of my seniors hang out with my friends and I. I seriously don’t know much about them.

So, when the juniors entered college, I didn’t really want to hang out much with them. But, they’re too cute to resist! Talking about the CF juniors, they are awesome. They are people who are full of excitement, enthusiasm, love, surprise, and the list goes on…

It’s really sad coz’ when I was just starting to hang out with them and get to know them better, I had to leave college. It was just a few weeks before I graduated from college that I started to join them in the library to study. It was really fun studying with juniors, with all those gossips, jokes, chats and not forgetting, the high-risks-of-getting-diabetes candies.

Cute Willy and Edwin!

Talking about studying with juniors, I also started to study with another group of juniors every night in the empty room just below my apartment. They are mostly 1-year students except this girl who everyone claimed to look like me! But, I must admit, we do have quite a few similarities.

We look alike meh? I think she looks more like Ah Ning =)

We became good friends in just a short time. Chai Lian and I just love to dig their secrets out and they were scared of us that they would tell us their little secrets. So cute of them. They are all very caring and kind to me.

Studying illegally at 2am in the empty classroom…

And sometimes I think that, it’s not always the seniors who teach the juniors but the other way round too. For me, I think they had taught me a lot of things and I’m really thankful for having them as my juniors.

 

P/s: So sorry! I don’t have pictures of the rest like, Sui Seng, Hau Seng, John and a few more. =( Got to get some from Chai Lian next time. I miss you all!

Kay-Tee-Tee III

A special post dedicated to my college’s Christian Fellowship. My little testimony about me in CF.

CF every Wednesday night.

The place I went every Wednesday, the people I joined every Wednesday and the fellowship I had with them every Wednesday.

I had learned so much about God in CF. I had gotten closer to God through CF.

As I had mentioned in my first Kay-Tee-Tee post, I had never really joined such a fellowship when I’m back in my hometown. It’s my very first time joining CF and I know it’s exactly what God wanted me to do when He put me there at the first place.

CF was where I got to know so many awesome people. Regardless of speakers, visitors, seniors, friends or juniors, they are all awesome people who had brought inspirations to my life. They are truly, a blessing to me.

I was once a shy girl who refused to lead a prayer or just even to voice out her thoughts and opinions during meetings. I was scared to say or ask anything because I didn’t want to look like a fool who doesn’t know a thing. I was just too embarrassed to do so.

But, every since joining CF, I started to open up. I started to stop feeling shy or embarrassed and asked questions when I don’t understand some things. I started to share my thoughts when my CF leader asked me to. And I started to lead prayers when somebody asked me to. I feel so good because I now know that what I’m doing are all for God. Why feel so shy or embarrassed? It’s a blessing to do it. Why not?

I <3 CF. I <3 God. =)
