W.e.E.k.E.n.D

Another weekend passed by... So quickly...

I had a good rest on Saturday... But I missed my colleague's Open House. =P
Had plans for the day but all failed due to the rain. )= Wanted to swim, but it rained, so I can't swim. Wanted to go out and get some stuff, but it rained, so I was lazy to go out since my car was parked far away and I did not have umbrella with me....
I was supposed to sleep early, but ended up sleeping at 1 something.

Went to church on Sunday morning. No choir practice today because it has been shifted to Friday night.
Had a sumptuous lunch at Wong Kei with LF members as farewell for Hamid. Thanks to Edmund for the treat!
Planned to go for swimming again.... I did, but only for 15 minutes... )= It rained again!!!! Isyk!!
Had dinner with Aaron and James at Cravings @ Sunway Giza. I ordered some grilled chicken with Vietnamese style rice which turned out to be quite spicy and it tasted pretty much just the peppery taste... I can't take too spicy food, because I will feel "pening". So it wasn't very good to me.... Aaron and James had Monster Burger... I am not quite sure how they like it... =)
Then off to Station One for some drinks... Hot drinks.... Haha....

Here am I now blogging before going to sleep... Hope to have good sleep without dreams.... Dreaming makes people feel tired...

Good night.... Hope to have a good week ahead....

Romans 12: 9~21


9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.
20 Therefore
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head."
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.


I was really benefited from these verses that were shared during LF this week. Something for me to ponder upon for the week. It is not hard to understand. But it is not easy to be done in real life.
Have you been applying this in your life? How are you going to apply it? (= ~Cheers~

H.o.M.e.

I am back in hometown!!! I did not realize that I am THIS tired that actually I slept most of the time... =P We (Yan Wai, my bro and I) left PJ around 4.00a.m.. Yes, somehow we like to leave at this hour, because we can reach just in time for some breakfast. I drove first. I only managed to drive until Simpang Pulai and thank God my bro woke up just in time to take over. So I slept all the way from Simpang Pulai until Yan Wai's place and from his place till back home.... I have to say my bro is always the best! =P Back at home, I spent quite some time sleeping as well. I really have no idea how come I am so tired. Probably it's the hot weather. =P

Being at home is always good~ But I have to agree that only being away from home then you will start to realize how warm home is... I remember I once read in a novel, "离开是为了有回家的一天..." This one of the reasons why I chose to work in PJ, a not-that-far-away land...

Well, time for dinner! And there's my favorite dish - CRABS!!!!! =)

F.r.I.D.a.Y after Malaysia Day holiday~

It's Friday... and usually everyone will start feeling like weekend already. What more yesterday was Malaysia Day.... So you have this holiday feeling that has not gone by yet together with the going-into-weekend mood that constantly make you feel not working at all.... To make it worse, it's a rainy day. I woke up this morning, wishing so that today's holiday as well so that I can indulge in nice sleep during a rainy day under my warm blanket on my not-so-cozy bed... I think many people struggled as much as I did... =P So I was late for work due to the heavy rain because I can't get to my car which was parked quite far away from my apartment. Had to "tumpang" my colleague's car to get my car. Thanks to the person who took my umbrella. =(

I am going back home this weekend. I believe it's gonna be a tiring trip. But thank God for the good rest yesterday. There have been plenty activities for the past 2 weeks. So some good rest would be nice...

The night before Malaysia day, Karen (my colleague) held a house-warming party at her place. Isa ( my another pretty colleague) and I went to help out straight after work. Not everyone who were invited turned up but the fellowship was great!!! We had lots of fun there... We talked nonsense, made fun of each other, crapped a lot.... The whole house was so noisy and I think her neighbours must be terrified and worried by now~ Karen's daughter was there too... She's adorable. But sadly, she gets attracted to guys more... which should be normal I guess... Hm... But with my experiences at nursery for so many years, I managed to get her play with me at the end. The training all these years by my mum was not wasted. =P We had after party of course. I think the initial plan was go clubbing! Ok, I am not really a big fan of clubbing but I don't mind if going in a big group and have fun together. But eventually we went to Solaris again for pool. They taught me to play snooker. First time. Quite fun though. Just that the table is just too big for someone with short hands and short legs like me. Hah! All in all, it was a great time with all these funny colleagues...

The office really looks empty.... with lots of echoes... haha.... I think it's time to get back to work!

R.a.Y.a B.r.E.a.K.

Raya break ended and I have started working today....

I have decided to stay back in PJ this time for the break for many reasons.

I got to experience the very smooth traffic in KL.... =)

My break was full with activities... It was tired and I am really exhausted by now, but I really enjoyed all the time I spent with different people, especially with my dearest dearest friend, LENE from Singapore!!!

On Thursday night, few of us were invited by our colleagues to celebrate their husband's birthday together at Solaris. We played pool there. Some were quite pro, some (only me actually) was quite noob but I played, while some watched the noob buat lawak... =P It was really fun but I was quite tired that day.

The next morning, I need to wake up very early because our cell group was going to hiking and waterfall. We went to Lepok Falls at Ulu Langat. I was so tired that I slept the whole way. So I can't tell how to go to the place. It took us nearly 2 hours to hike to the waterfall. Along the way, the many leeches slowed us down because we need to stop constantly for leech check and to remove the leeches from our shoes, legs, cloths, hands, etc. There's a pool at the waterfall and the water was really refreshing. We had a great time there playing with the fish, taking photos and eating lemang. The way back took shorter time. I have to mention that the weather was really good and it only started to rain on our way back to respective homes. Thank God!!!!

After that, I decided to go watch movie with my BFF. I did not even take a nap, just showered and changed. We wanted to watch Step Up 3 but the tickets were selling fast and with the queue we knew that we won't be able to make it. So we watched Going The Distance instead. We got a little time to shop before the movie started. =P I won't say that the movie was very good. But it gave or reminded me of certain things. Some parts were really funny. I will just rate it as average... At least, it was not a movie that I feel regret watching it in cinema. =) Then we had supper at Sunway Giza. I have heard of this place for many times but that was the first time I went there. It looks quite happening there. *So SL, YW and AA, I think I have found us a new hang-out place. Haha....

On Saturday, I got to meet my dearest best friend from Singapore. We have not seen each other for a long long time. We met during CNY but we didn't really get to sit down and catch up with each other. We have been mailing each other but nothing beats seeing each other in person and hanging out together!!! Haha... We were used to be known as lesbian during secondary school, because we would hold hands and we hug each other when we met during recess time. We were in different classes during upper secondary. Then we met up with Yin Khoon and Hoi Yin. When there were just me, Lene and Khoon, he was listening to me and Lene talking initially. Then the next thing he said was, "I would really believe if you tell me you two are les..." Hahaha..... I had a great time with them and they made me miss my secondary school friends a lot....

After the gathering, I managed to go home just in time to mandi kerbau and change then off to a dinner at Klang. We were there to represent our company so it was sort of like working actually. Nothing much. Just ate and drank.

I went to church on Sunday morning then caroling practice after lunch. I was slightly better for my part this week. Last week, I really had problem memorizing my part. It sounded better this week also because we had more people this time. Right after practice which finished at 4.30p.m., I rushed to catch Step Up 3 at 5.00p.m. Reached just in time for the movie. Of course I enjoyed this more than Going The Distance. Now I came to think of it, I think I did not watch Step Up 1 & 2 before. So I cannot compare. Personally, I enjoyed the movie and the dance moves a lot... Cool! However, I was quite annoyed by the couple beside me who kept talking throughout the movie and they were eating something with very strong smell. =(

So there goes my happening Raya Break.... and now I am looking forward for the coming weekend where I will get to see many secondary school friends at Lee Jou's wedding... Second girl to get married among our Girl Guide gang... "Congrats girl!!!"

S.e.L.a.H.

Blog, is where I want to express my feelings, be it happiness, sadness, depression, frustration, sense of accomplishment, anything....

Blog, is where I want to let certain people know what's in my mind... Even though I didn't start this blog with intention for people to read....

Blog, is where I keep my memories to serve as reminder of what I have been through and I really want to remember them at that moment....

But recently I was very inactive in my blog... Reason being I have lost the ability to express my myself through words... I seldom even write my diary.... And I wonder why....

I often stared at the blank space, knowing there's a lot of thoughts in my mind, but I just do not know where and how to start....

Probably I have become reluctant to share? Or scared to let others know what's in my mind? I seriously do not know....

Life has been very different after started working.... A lot of ups and downs.... Sometimes I can be very busy with events and activities and appointments and plans... Sometimes I can be so laid back that I can do nonsense at home, alone.... Sometimes I can do nothing at all, except sleep and eat.... I think it has been awhile that I really escape myself from everything, be away and be with myself and GOD.... I think I need a break from the hustle and bustle of city life.... I think I need to have a place and time that I can be with God... I think I have too many things to be settled with Him... I think I need a Selah... Suggestion of place, anyone?? Somehow, I missed the meditation time we had in Camp Cameron which many people complained it's too long... I missed having Selah at the Ayer Itam dam... I missed being in the nature, sitting there alone and letting my mind free.... Free for all thoughts to come out, thoughts that have been in my mind and I am not aware of... Free for God to fill His words...

Anyone thinks he/she need a Selah too and want to go with me? =)
