Inspiring musical talents,anyone?
Hi there,
Somebody can tell me that when you are someone new in that field, it is going to take sometime before people trust you doing those jobs. For example, driving…finally I have my own driving license, thank you LORD what a perfect timing. However, it is going to take my parents sometime before they may officially declare that I am an amazing careful and skilled driver...but that time will come, well I hope. Anyway, today I bought the Martina McBride album’s Martina. There are some wonderful inspirational songs actually I think all of them. Great to find some artists who know why they are in that industry. Listening through her songs, it made me glad that she really has a mission… the reflections of this beautiful life and inspiring young girls. It makes me remember what Nichole Nordeman says, that as a songwriter sometimes we are too compel to talk about ourselves. Yeah, so thank you God because both artists look into this world matters, how sometimes people just need to hear the spoken kindness, hearing the truth that God loves them, that they are people in greater need than ourselves, that they are people suffering and we can't just turn our back, that you don’t have to exaggerate small matters and that life is a blessing. Bless these people, and God bless you guys!

Graduation day
Hello there,
The convo festival sounds sooo hype…but…well there’s no but hehe. Its great cause around the campus we have ABC, Nasi katok, Tasconi pizza etc I love these 3….I guess that is why I mentioned them. So, today I bought the ABC, chicken mushroom and Tuna pizza. Me and Sur (my verrry good friend) bought the same things, ate together while waiting for Angela (another verrrry good friend). Eh so much fun eh hehe… then tomorrow I’m going to sleepover at Sur’s home to do our English project where our subject will be her niece (Angela come together lah hehe…but nevermind you got things to do jua) and this Saturday is the ‘Appreciation Nite’ for our batch (ahh must be great but the next day got replacement lecture huhu…ahh must be great also think positive!). Anyway, I read at someone’s blog saying “Blogging is (what was it?...can’t remember very well) procrastination….” Something about blogging is where you waste your time or like blogging is your way of procrastinating to do your work. Hmm...I couldn’t agree on that 100%. I mean what if we blog about things that can actually help someone at the other ends of the world by sharing our stories, giving tips or advise on this or that or exchanging cooking or success recipes? That is not wasting our time right? Well, on the other hand, I do have work to do…how I hope I could just scan through every notes and they stick to my brain for a long long time but no, I’ve to read, indulge and digest it one by one..hard work Take care all

I AM by NN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXCXEb1Qupg
I Am
Pencil marks on a wall, I wasn’t always this tall
You scattered some monsters from beneath my bed
You watched my team win
You watched my team lose
You watched when my bicycle went down again
And when I was weak, unable to speak
Still I could call You by name
And I said, Elbow Healer, Superhero
Come if you can
You said, I Am
Only sixteen, life is so mean
What kind of curfew is at 10pm?
You saw my mistakes
And watched my heart break
Heard when I swore I’d never love again
And when I was weak, unable to speak
Still I could call You by name
And I said, Heartache Healer, Secret Keeper
Be my best friend
And You said, I Am
You saw me wear white by pale candlelight
I said forever to what lies ahead
Two kids and a dream, with kids that can scream
Too much it might seem when it is 2am
And when I am weak, unable to speak
Still I will call You by name
Shepherd, Savior, Pasture Maker
Hold onto my hand
You say, I Am
The winds of change and circumstance blow in and all around us
So we find a foothold that’s familiar
And bless the moments that we feel You nearer
When life had begun, I was woven and spun
You let the angels dance around the throne
And who can say when, but they’ll dance again
When I am free and finally headed home
I will be weak, unable to speak
Still I will call You by name
Creator, Maker, Life Sustainer
Comforter, Healer, my Redeemer
Lord and King, Beginning and the End
I Am
Yes, I Am

Pizza Hut
Mon, 20th August 2007
Hello there, there is something special about today…hehe where to begin? Well, I first want to tell you guys about a lecturer that I come across this semester who happens to command such respect in his class that I think he got people to think. His humility, his life stories, his caring for his students…he actually reminds me of the kind of teacher I want to be. He doesn’t intimidate but just provoke people to be responsible of their own learning. Well, good thing me, Sur and Ika will be presenting at week 10 in his class. That’s mean more time hehe.
Then, it’s Mark’s birthday today. So he treated the ‘gang’, all 8 of us to Pizza Hut where we wanted to surprise him with a birthday cake. Turned out we were actually more surprised by the workers at Pizza Hut. They came out, brought the cake and sang a birthday song (they had a guitar and actually sang in tune!) I felt like I wanted to have my birthday that day. We were incredibly full, happy and all smiled up
After that I came back, felt so incredibly appreciative of my education haha…now where did that come from? Well, earlier though our lecturer asked us to make a note (mind map specifically, man he really want us to learn
) after the lecture. I actually should have started that, but because of this and that I just put it off. Today however, I feel like…now I have the time and such a fresh energy to do that
P/s: How a simple thing in life can have a profound effect to someone, so always appreciate this God-given life.

My Welcome back Greeting featuring My So-Called Article of M
Hi there, now I can have access to internet again hehe…it’s been a while, months passed and welcome again people. Live life!
My So-Called Article of My Mistakes
You know, I made mistakes in my life…from choosing the wrong pen, not holding back my tongue when I needed to, choosing the wrong kind of attitudes and so on. I made various mistakes and learned from them through my life years of being a toddler to adulthood. I also forgot about them along the way though. Somehow came a situation where I needed to put to use either my core or optional learned lesson but what do you do when you forget things that you have learnt? Yes, you make mistakes, as simple as that. There is almost only one percent you might not. As for me I did, only after a few moments did I realised I made mistakes again. I know I did because my conscience just not at peace. It is in our inner nature and probably from that pure part of a human’s heart capturing moments of understanding. For a moment, I thought and wished hard that I could go back to somewhere before I would fall from my ladder of wisdom. In turn, I don’t have to face the embarrassment I put on myself, the pain I may have caused someone and the disappointment that comes to my soul.
The beauty of it though I could reflect on it again probably a thousand times already and think “wow, look what God has taught me through this” then learn and try to remember it and just keep on growing in life. So I decided to journal life, where I am to review my own life and come to see that this God-given breath is to be cherished, I might as well be in heaven on earth. Where God is there heaven is.
I’ve seen and felt mistakes. I also see sometimes we take it on so much that we punish ourselves without truly seeing the light from the other side of it. What we know about light is that it shines and shuns the dark. I sense that light on the other side is good; I believe so on the law of light.
We don’t realise that until we make mistakes, hope we do now and I hope I do now…indeed to remember that. Until another time I learn and grow my ladder of wisdom another inch.
What a wonder to think that something as stinks as effortless mistakes can prove to be something we need.

My Perfect One
Hey there,
I’ve had most of my exams done and there’s two more…it was fun, thank God I read my notes hehe won’t be much fun if I didn’t
Anyway, let us look at this scripture
Song of Songs 6:9
“but my dove, my perfect one, is unique, the only daughter of her mother, the favourite of the one who bore her.
The maidens saw her and called her blessed; the queens and concubines praised her.”
I am just so touch after reading it several times, looking at the sentences one by one. How I am reminded by God, that each of us is a unique individual created with everything that we are. You are the one and only person, you are with all your perfectness, with all your uniqueness, the only son and daughter of your mother…yes, you may not be the only child in the family but you are the one and only that your mother bore, there’s no other..
You are your mother’s favourite because she bore a special individual, that there will be none like you…not even your twins. People around you look at you and is amazed because of your beauty, talents, ability, personality…because you are who you are.
God sees us the same way; He loves our uniqueness, sees however we are and loves us still all the more. Yes, even more than our mother who bore us…His is the greatest love.

What fine grace is this..
1st May 06
Hi there, happy new month!!
Where did I put all that blog words I’ve written in my laptop?! I don’t know where it is but never mind about that. My life still goes on with many (I mean really many…) interesting things I can write about. So where do I start anew? Ahh…the grace of God.
Yes, I’m going to talk about that grace. It seems that often I don’t live up to be the person I wanted me to be or maybe just what I thought I should be. You know like having the nicest branded clothing, the cosiest and most beautiful home, perfect parents (who will shower you with lots of gift, money and agree with you all the times), perfect grades all through my school years, the latest Nokia gadget and many others physical things I would hope you to see (maybe you will well maybe you don’t hehe
). I just don’t know the exact when or how God taught me to be content with my life, well He did. God’s grace came to me and I found that you can just be truly happy and content when you meet this beautiful saviour and give about your daily lives to Him. I therefore in the process of becoming an individual who is pleasing to Him rather than satisfying worldly expectations. Now, don’t misread me…I’m not saying you shouldn’t have all these. I’m saying if you look at another country experiencing starvation, wars, poverty etc isn’t it God’s grace for us to be able to eat everyday in peace? So, because of this grace, I shouldn’t worry at all the ‘imperfections’ in my life, if I present my best, if I have nice clothes, home, family, education, friends….I just then need to be thankful.

Something about English...
Hi there,
I had English class today (what a way for a blog entry ). Okay now I know it sounds so boring talking about my class but this class which was supposed to end in happy ending (cause it was the last English class for the semester) left me feeling uneasy.
Sur…because of you!! Haha...no lah Sur not you, kidding alright, please don’t punch my arms hehe but you thought of this wawawa. Anyway, in short, the story goes like this; I just don’t have this note about ‘Theories of learning’. It’s quite important because the paper that Sir MS gave, says that it will be there in the exam. Me, Angel and Sur tried to find that topic in our notes but up to no good. So we decided to ask sir what this topic is about. He looked through our notes and his notes and still couldn’t find anything about that. Giving up, he just said to us “good question girls!” hehe…but then he told us to come and see him again which we did and caused him to try to ask his colleague (teaching the same thing as his). Well we kind like overheard his female colleague said something like “You should have that” bluntly. I felt a twitch of guilt to may have caused him a little embarrassment like that. Then I think I added a little punch to his ego as well when he showed to us that note by asking “Are you sure you go through this note with us sir?”. Ouch, I somehow realised he probably said in his heart, “How can this girl said that to me? That is to deny what I have taught them!” Sorry Sir didn’t mean that, I was just purely asking you a question hehe. I just don’t think we had a lecture on these theories plus I did some revision on English and didn’t meet with those theories (see now I had my reason?
. Found out, our class shared that notes in pair weeks before. So I didn’t get to keep it (I know I should have photocopied it myself then so just be quiet alright I know you probably saying “Ahh SEEE!!”) and Angela shared that notes with Sur. So Angela don’t have a copy herself, the note is with sur but Sur left it and she thought she didn’t have it.
So mystery solved and being the kind man he is (agree Sur? haha) he said he would photocopy for us. Then we remember we have that book on that topic actually (Great, now that means I don’t really have to photocopy it after all…ohh duhh). Still he wanted to give them out for other students…they just might not have that book.

Gonna praise yeah gonna praise!!:)
Hey there, here's a few thoughts about worshipping the LORD
"Praise Him, sun and moon, praise Him, all you shining stars. Praise Him, you highest heavens and waters above the skies.
Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He commanded and they were created. He set them in place for ever and ever;
He gave a decree that will never pass away. Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures and all ocean depths,
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do His bidding, you mountains and all hills,fruit trees and all cedars,
wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds."
Psalm 148: 3-10
The sun, moon, stars, heavens, sea creatures, ocean depths, lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds, mountains
and hills, fruit trees and all cedars, wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds. All are praising
God's creativity, God's humour, God's wisdom, God's power and God's majesty. All are adoring the LORD. All are His creation.
All are wonderful nature. We worship God in private and in public, it involves attitudes and actions and it involves the head and
the heart.When we give thanks we worship, when we love people we worship, when we help other people we worship,
when we lend our hand to our community we worship, when we speak kindness to other we worship, when we take
others in their failures we worship...the more we worship the more we will be changed from inside out and we will be
transformed by living in HIS presence. Yes, we are the Child of Mercy and Grace, adore and worship the LORD, give Him the
praises He deserves!
**
Right there in the darkest night
When you close you eyes and find no one to be around
and you feel the emptiness of life
perhaps you wanted someone to tell you where the way out
your heart ache to scream for the exit of this moment
your heart knew of the LORD yet your mind not
#But then what will happen if you shout to the LORD
Could things remain the same
Or will they change
For when I did, things were never gone
But I sensed mercy flowed in me
the next time I shout unto Him
I know a light can be seen
