Enjoy yr Raya !!

Just to let you guys know I’ll be away for the Raya holidays !!! heehee have a nice holiday everyone !!!

“Cinema-goers” Etiquettes …Questionable!

Almost everyone of us have been to a movie in a cinema before right ??? Well I would say, we in the urban cities have a tendency to visit it even more often especially when our favourite producers or actors are used in a movie. I for one enjoy musicals, whether its theater style, or in cinemas. So I got invited by my uncle and aunt to watch Mamma Mia ! I went not knowing what to expect. Anyway I’m not writing this post to give you a review on Mamma Mia , you have to watch it on yr own. ( thought I wouldn’t recomend the show for children, a lot of parental guidance is needed during and maybe a debriefing after the movie)

Anyway the reason I wrote this post is because I am so sick of movie -goers that are so inconsiderate of others and whose behaviours are really sickening to the maximum level, and I’m talking about grown homosapiens , not kids. Even kids I find are more well behaved in the cinema’s compared to grown humans that I have met in cinemas how have sickening behaviour.

For instance, yesterday I went for the movie and settled down in my sit ( nice seats my uncle and aunt got) . Before the movie started a whole group of youths came in and sat directly behind us. They were noisy, talking at the top of their voices. I was thinking to myself , ” ok it’ll be fine, their grown up enough to know how to shut up later..” However my predictions were way out of the league….as the movie started….. … continue reading this entry.

Life is precious..don’t take it for granted

I have been reminded in the past week about how much value there is in one’s life. Knowing of fellow friends who have been diagnosed with cancer, some have passed on, some are still fighting for their lives, some have given up hope entirely in life. I for one am a person which still find it very very difficult to understand why there is so much pain in this world, and why God allows us to hurt, be hurt, and have pain in the form of sickness and disease. I know it is most likely our own sins that have coz the world to be what it is today, and some diseases are caused by mankind. But still, we can never understand our God Almighty, and I believe everything He intends to happen or allows to happen is for a purpose .

I for one have begin to lose focus in life. Lose my purpose, lose my self-esteem, lose even the courage to be who God made me to be. I have honestly been struggling so hard. Sometimes it feels not worth living anymore. I have to say that all these are caused by my own doing. How I decide things, how I decide to let hurts stay and how I let myself become so low and undirected.

Therefore, with incident after incident God has been saying, ” Hey, wake up its not the end of the world, there are people out there that need Me and you need to be serving them . ” ( of course i’ve put it in my own words ) and today was the day that everything inside me just broke down. Have you ever felt how it is to ” weep ” on the inside ?? … continue reading this entry.

I’ve still got it !!!! …….

You must be wondering what does she say or mean by she still has it ?? Sounds exciting ? Like I have a big date ….or I’m tops in my class ? Or did I get praised for something ?? Well Well dear readers, hold yr reins of imagination and don’t get too carried away trying to guess what I mean with my title :-) though it wouldn’t hurt if you do try to guess….. … continue reading this entry.

Luxury vs Necessity

Why do we often want luxury , and not be able to settle for necessity ?

* Abstracted from Pastor’s msg on Sunday.

Wish list ….

Well well well….Haha this is often or very unlikely of me to do something like that. I hardly voice my requests as to what I want. Anyway just to make it clear to you readers, that don’t think of me as demanding or wanting only these things, OR even thinking that I expect anything from any of you. Its just something that I want to express, and well even I have wishes of my own :-) and I’m sure you do as well. I managed to crack my brains and think of what I want and managed to make it 10 things. Its not in order, as in not by which I want the most, but its just randomly placed. So here goes my wish list ofr year 2008 ( hmm I should make it a yearly affair then see how my choice and taste of things changes ..hehe ) I will also provide reasons why I want these things.

1. Ticket to Lea Salonga’s show here in M’sia next year . – She’s coming and I really want to go and hear her sing. I doesn’t matter if I don’t get front seats but if its good enough to hear her and see somewhat of her thats enough for me :-)

2. Shoes from Hush Puppies- Now , now don’t think that I purposely want expensive shoes k…but its really nice and comfortable, I think its known as loafers…Comfortable flat shoes that I spotted and guess what ?? Its blue in colour ..hehe

3. Socks – Erm it seems I have outgrown or worn-out most of my socks, hehe if any of you noticed I’ve been wearing almost the same socks everytime:-) heehee hey I washed it ok before rewearing it

4. My own digital camera. – Nice to own one, then I can start taking pics too!! haha I heard Nikon has some nice ones, and even those that can take on its on ( haha for perasan ppl that try to take their own pics :-) )

5. A bookshelf- It doesn’t have to be big and tall, just a low one, coz my books are flooding all over my room already :-) can’t be too big, as I don’t have space in my room.

6. Air -condition – I want an air-con in my room, coz its soooooo sooooo hot . Can’t sleep most of the nights :-( coz too uncomfortable

7. Backpack – The one I take to school is literally falling apart …hehe the zip is breaking and gets stuck easily, and the inside of the backpack it peeling off ..heehee seems like I need a new one eh ??

8. Bedsheet – my current one is getting worn-out, and err I only have one so when I wash it and it doesn’t dry….well have to sleep without one ….

9. Clothes- I want some new clothes, I think half my wardrobe or rather 3/4 of it consists of clothes that I haven’t changed for ages. I have clothes that are given, some are hand -me-downs, some were gifts, some I bought, and I think half the clothes in my wardrobe I don’t wear or can’t wear. Some too big, some too small :-0 I even have some T-shirts that I used to wear since I was 12 !! hahahaha

10. Hmm and in the end getting more $$$$$$$ would be great.- Can put it in my bank or treat myself to something…hahaha

So there’s my wish list. Eventhough so, I think gifts that really make a mark on me and of course my heart is when its really form the very bottom of the giver’s heart. Gifts that are handmade or self-made for instance just melts my heart , and not to mention causes a tsunami from my eyes…..Coz even as a person I believe its not what I give, but how I give and how sincere my heart is.

Just to share, just the other day my six year old student came for art lessons and when I let him in at the door, he ran up to me and place a sheet of A4 paper into my hands and whispered that it was for me and then raced up the stairs. I opened the paper and inside was a nice picture drawn and coloured by him, and it had two lanterns on it. ( AAWWW….so sweet right ) Well it was very unexpected and I was so happy that day :-) he really brightened up my day.

I have received such gifts many times and some are given by the closest friends and it really means so much. So as you all go out and but gifts for your love ones, always remember to bear in mind that its not how much or how big the gift costs, but does it come from the heart ? ( and of course it must be useful and appropriate for the person i think you all know what i mean )

PLS VOTE – as I’m thinking whether or not to have a b’day party this year to celebrate my 18th b’day . So what do you all think ? Leave yr votes, and suggestions on how to celebrate would also be welcomed :-)

Upcoming posts…and my achievement !!

Lets see, I’ve been contemplating what to blog about for the past few days and well these are my upcoming posts :

1. Erm ” wish list ” * evil laugh * – ( my b’day and christmas is coming up ) heehee heee…though pls don’t feel obligated to get anything on the list for me …it is just ” a WISH list ” …..

2. Growing pains – erm I don’t think I’ll elaborate on this one, for me to know and for you to find out :-)

Ok ok so thats my target so far, we’ll see how long I take to reach it. Will try to do it asap. Well for today …..

I would just like to blog about my day or rather half a day ……

I finally managed to fall asleep after tossing and turning , the heat is just unbearable this few nights and I was unable to sleep. However , after finding a suitable position, I fell into a very deep sleep . the result of not getting enough rest for almost a week . I was enjoying my sleep it was a really nice comfortable sleep ( the kind where its so nice that you think you ” never ” gonna wake up ) …..when suddenly …. … continue reading this entry.

no title

Give me one pure and holy passion

Give me one magnificient obssession

Give me one glorious ambition for my life

To know and follow hard after You

To know and follow hard after You

To grow  as Your disciple in Your Truth

The world is empty, pale and poor ,

compared to knowing You my Lord ,

Lead me on and I will run after You

Lead me on and I will run after You.

This was a song that Rev Mike shared at camp. It was a song that I had always liked even in my younger days. When he shared it at camp it just served as a reminder to me that I often forget to ask for His will, and often times choose to do my own, my own way.

I hope my dear readers can see as I have seen that each word of this song speaks so much and its very meaningful.

” A little black …. IT ?? ”

My brother and I were watching TV this evening , while waiting for dinner-time :-) when suddenly my eye caught a black thing with a long tail at the top of the stairs looking at us….before I could fix my eyes properly on what it was…it moved and the next thing I knew…. … continue reading this entry.
