it's easy to say that i know, it's easy to say that i am sure... but yet, at this point in time, i can only say, i'm searching oh Lord, for a glimpse of u, thru every moments in my life...

Pretty annoyed by what happened this morning.. as I was trying to cut over to another lane (which I am doing properly, with signals and all), some motorcyclists came speeding by. Seeing them, I stick back to my own lane.. one of them honked me as well. I don't mind that, but then that guy stuck his hand out and knocked my side mirror. I was pissed off man. Why must they do that? It's not like I force myself to the other lane without considering them speeding by. I saw them coming and I sticked to my own lane.. does that make any sense?? Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with Malaysian drivers.. am I easy to be bullied because my car is small. Seriously, if anything major happen just now I think I'll get off my car and either scold him on the top of my lungs or I'll just whack some sense into him. Road bullies.. beware.. dun play play with me ! This is one fire waiting to be let out...

We all have gifts that we can present to God - we are that gift. Whatever we have, be it a humble heart, a voice, the ability to play any instruments, the ability to write, the ability to be still, the ability to hear.. we can offer it to God - that's what He wants from us. He doesn't need a full band - a big group of choir.. just a humble heart, an offering of our best would do...
Hope ya all will also be still... and know that He is God
The Humble Gift
By LaTonya TaylorDecember 23, 2004
I sat near the back of the sanctuary as the soloist made his way to the stage before the service began. He looked to be around 16, had dark curly hair and a preoccupied expression on his face. He sat down behind a music stand, adjusted his music, and gently placed his bass guitar on his lap.
Then, accompanied only by the gentle thump of his guitar, he sang the familiar song "The Little Drummer Boy." You probably know the song. It's about a little boy who visits the newborn Jesus. Realizing that he has no gift to honor this baby king, this child-Redeemer, the boy offers what he does have: the gift of his ability. He asks if he can play a drum solo.
My heart was moved as the soloist sang the final lines of the song, where the baby Jesus responds to the drummer boy's gift:
I played my best for him … then he smiled at me.
I don't know if he realized it, but in many ways, this singer demonstrated the beautiful truth of this story. He wasn't wearing a fancy Christmas suit or even a special tie—he was humbly dressed in a baggy sweater and khakis. His voice was soft and a little tentative, like it had just changed and he was still figuring it out. He looked down at his music the whole time. When the song was over, he didn't seem to notice the quiet applause that spread across the sanctuary. Instead, he simply gathered his music and walked to the back of the stage so the choir could file in.
I was moved by his humility, by his gentle, quiet spirit. This simple, tentative rendition of the song was his gift to God, tenderly rendered. It was beautiful.
And it was enough.
The Bible doesn't mention the story of the little drummer boy. As far as we know, this story isn't true in the literal sense of the word. But the writer of this beautiful song knew a deeper truth: that God is pleased when we give him our best.
Think of what the songwriter was trying to convey—who plays a loud, clattering, startling, ear-assaulting drum solo as a gift to a baby? But it came from a pure heart. And the smiling Christ-child sensed the purity of the young man's heart and responded with his own gift—the beaming face of God, the approval and gratitude of the tightly-swaddled Almighty.
Thank you. That was beautiful. What you brought Me was enough.
In many ways, Jesus was kind of like the drummer boy, and like the soloist I saw at church. Isaiah 53:2 says Jesus wasn't beautiful or stunning or especially majestic—that he had "no beauty of majesty in his appearance to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him." In fact, a lot of people missed the chance to get to know Jesus, because he seemed so ordinary.
But he was God's extraordinary gift, someone who came to wear a body like we do, to have a heart that knew abandonment, loneliness, betrayal and pain. He came to be bruised and misunderstood, to take a punishment beyond what our human hearts and bodies could withstand. He came to bring forgiveness and joy and peace and healing and hope and the promise of a perfect eternity.
My hope is that sometime during the rush and excitement of this season you'll have an experience like the one I had during that song. I hope that you'll see or hear something that makes your heart quiet itself and overflow the way mine did. That you'll have a humble moment when you can offer a silent prayer to God:
Thank you. You are beautiful. What you gave us is more than enough.
Learning to listen,
LaTonya

Christmas, the day when Christ was born.. was so touched by the scene, time and again, to know that Christ was born, and in all place, a manger. But praise be unto His name, may He be glorified forever and ever on this day.
Am very very hectic these past weeks, so much so that I feel so tired. But God is good, He gave me strength to sustain all that there is. Jesus said, "Peace, be still. Let us be still on this joyous season, be still to hear Him, to share the joy and happiness that there is...Be still and know that Christ is Lord. Continue to bask in His love....
It's Christmas day today! Merry Christmas everyone.. such a joyous day...
Today also mark the anniversary of my return from Australia over a year ago. Memories came flooding to my mind even as I am typing this... memories of the good times, of the sad times, of the friends, of the family that I was part of.. memories.. beautiful and wonderful memories.
Thank you for being those friends who sticks closer than a brother for me (Proverbs 18:24b - modified version). I pray that God will continue to bless you all with his love and annointing.

Increasingly realising that it's hard to find time to be alone for God. Even when we're alone, we seek for things to fill that empty void in us, thus, television is on always, music as well, books, whatever that can keep us "occupied". I do that too, but yet, work makes a difference, because it takes up even more of your time. I fill up the void by reading, by surfing, by chatting and by listening to music. Yet increasingly, I felt the pull to be closer to God. Been listening to only gospel music these days, even when I am work. Feels so hard, for I don't have the chance to sing like I used to, like, whenever and wherever. Even when I hide in my room, it's hard, because being around family and singing is like disaster. Forever hearing comments from her, which makes me realise that she doesn't understand that by me singing, I'm releasing something... so tough being me. Thank God I don't have to be alone.
I'm always hit by realisation these days, the fact that I longer have my collection of songs in my notebook since it crashed the last time, the lost of all my song lyrics...A couple of days ago, this realisation hit me, there's no one to share my love, my passion with, there's no one here who shares my love and my passion for songs and singing. Sad world isn't it...but God is ever faithful, will continue to seek Him...

Will never deny the fact that the one year I was in Gippsland was the happiest in my life. Being surrounded by friends who are like family to me, makes it even sweeter. Really really amaze me, the friendships that was built then. Never in my entire life have I ever had such close friends in my life, so much so that there was never an issue on give and take, but everyone was willing to give and give. Such joy, such beauty in our friendship.
The last trip down was very memorable as well. Although things were weird at first, for a year since we've met up, but slowly things were like last time. I have had a great time, the things that we did, the games that we played, the silliness that existed during that time, brings such great memories of the past to me. I seriously did not want to leave that day, my heart was truly breaking as the bus pulled away from the station. Though they are still in sight, still there seeing us go, I willed them not too. But reality is reality, coming back is truly reality.
Went to work the next day, but came home half day, couldn't take it, not feeling well.. mebe it was heart ache, I do not know, but it took me a while to get back up.
Thank you for G and LA, who helped me through a period where it hurts, where everything seemed to be wrong, where everything seem to fade... thank you for being there for me, for helping me up and most of all, for loving me.

God has truly bless me in my life, taking good care of me since I was a little girl and even till now, a young working adult. Sometimes it's hard to comprehend the ways of God, and sometimes we find it hard to follow Him through that narrow path. But praise God, for we don't have to walk that narrow path on our own. All we have to do is just to ask Him, Father, can you help me and guide me through this narrow path, He will answer, yes, my dear child, let me hold your hand and guide you. If you allow God to take hold of your hand, praise Him! The path will not feel so narrow anymore, for you'll know where to step. Sometimes we may stumble and fall, but when we cry out to our Father in heaven, He will turn around and carry you through. I've stumbled and fall many times, yet, He never once choose not to help me up. I've took a tumble recently and He was there when I cried out to Him. Praise Him for He is always with us. Sometimes we wonder, is God with us? All we need to do is just to be still for a moment, and we will hear Him. Look up to the sky, you'll see the beauty of His creation. Let everything around you quiet down, and you'll hear Him. Let our heart quiet down and be at peace, and you'll feel HIm around you.
Praise God for His love, praise God for His everlasting love..

Really nice song from Alicia Keys. Actually I heard it in the radio quite often, but never paid attention to it. That is until I heard Juwita sang it during GT's Free concert. At first I was thinking, hey, this song seems familiar, and as she sang it, it hit me! It's the song by Alicia Keys. Wow.. it's amazing that God can really do a lot of things through a lot of things. I am amazed that it carries Christian values, it shows me that hey, If I don't have God nor Jesus, I have nothing.
It sings that people are materialistic, a lot of us look to the things we can buy, we can have, we can see to make ourselves better. We buy cars, houses, even small stuff like watches, bracelets, earrings and all.. these are materialistic things. Even though we have a lot, yet we want more. The more we earn, the more we still want to earn. We can never be content with what we have. But what do we have in the end discontentment would be the word for it. We will never be content.
Like what she sings, having the whole world means nothing if we don't have Him. I would agree. Even till now, I still feel emptiness at times, for I know that I won't feel content nor full, so to say, until I have Him in me fully and wholly.
Do you ever feel like something's missing? Like there is a hole in your life? And then you try to ignore it by doing something to occupy yourself and to make that feeling go away? Have you ever, from no where, thought about what's going? Why am I doing the things that I am doing? Ain't there more to life?
Sometimes I wonder, why do people around us work and work and work and not have life at all? Some find me too playful, some find me too serious, and some find me weird. Sometimes I am hurt by those people and what they say, but sometimes it occurs to me that, hey, must I listen to what they say? Must I justify myself for the way I am. Yes, I have changed, I am no longer the Sue Anne that people know. I am different. Some can feel the difference and they don't like it. Some tried to restrain me by asking me not to be the way that I am. But why must I change to suit myself. So what if I am playful, silly, serious and weird? I will now say that I am not a typical girl. I am not just like any other girls, nor am I like any person. I am unique for God created me to be so. Why must I justify myself to you? Does it matter to you if I am serious when I need to? Can't I just be silly and playful when time permits it? I don't want to view the world with its complexity and suffer from it. I would look at it the way I want it to be, for God created this world and no matter how much we worry about our future and all, all we have to do is to trust Him and I believe that, even though some things won't run the way we want it, He still have control over it.
I know that they are still some bad traits in me, something that I want to let go but am finding it hard. Doesn't everyone have it. The bible says that no one is righteous at all, so why judge others? The plank's still attached to your eyes, yet you still want to point out the dust at other people's eyes? One of the very first verse that I remember from the bible is Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged". Yet in this world, no matter where you are, you'll be judged. Why must the world be full of judgement? Don't you know that God holds the power of judgement? I won't say that I never judge others. Sometimes I still do, but yet at times when I do, I come to realise that I shouldn't, for I myself am not perfect. There's flaws in everything, for none is perfect.
Recently I met with a brother in Christ, whom I sort of known for ages. It hits him that I am no longer the kid that he used to know, that I have reached the age of 22 and is an adult (though I might not act like one at times *wink*). What he told me was kinda offhand for me. He was telling me that now that I've finished studying, I should be getting a boyfriend and in a year or two, get married? To hear it from your relative is one thing, but to hear it from someone who is a few years older than you makes me think that there's something wrong. OKay, no doubt I would want to get married and to have a family of my own and all, but why must I go find a boyfriend? I know I'm of age and all, but can't I just stay the way I am for now? Why must I be in a rush to get a boyfriend? I know he meant well, not that I am offended, but I find that life is pretty much dictated in a way. So, does this mean that everyone must follow this circle, study, work a bit, then get married? No one mention at once, go serve the Lord. Hey, go pursue something in your life, but hey, go get married, go have children. Sigh... is that all there is to life? Will I be content with that kind of life? I don't really think so. Yes, no doubt all of us want a partner in life, but to me, I don't want one until I am certain I am ready.
There must be more to life. More than just working, more than just having a boyfriend or a girlfriend, more than just having a family and all. I wish we can forever do what we did when we were in gippy. To care for each other, and to praise God the way we did during the time before the Gift concert and like the last day of Shine.
Oh well, enough of ramblings from my part. I do hope that everyone will remember always that there's more to life. IF you forget, listen to the song "More to Life" by Stacie Orrico. And for all my brothers and sisters in Christ, remember the song If I ain't got You. Sing it to God man...

haiyo.. seems so hard to keep awake lar me. So hard. Everytime I read the system notes I am drooping off. How I wish I can like take a 5 to 10 minutes nap. Those would help deeply. At least I will be refreshed for a while. But yet, I do not dare to do so, as it does not seem appropriate. Sigh, it's only 10.15am..day's just started man...

Gosh, I am sooo sleepy man. I was practically drooping off earlier at work. Now at the least my eyes are bigger (not that it's big, mind u..small man, especially when I laugh, can't see it at alllllll)... alrites... I'm crapping.. can't wait for 1pm to comeeeee... I wana go home.. oh well, not gona go home.. promised Mel that I would accompany her. She's going for company's annual dinner, so I'm gona teman her to doll up. Well, at least I'm taking pictures of her being dolled up.. keke... rili feel like crashing man me.
Another hour to goooo.... aw maaannnn
p/s: will tell more of my new job in later blogs.. now no mood but to sleep
By the time the Lord made woman, he was into his sixth day of working overtime. An angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart-and she will do everything with only two hands."
The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two hands!? No way!
And that's just on the standard model? That's too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish."
"But I won't," the Lord protested. "I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days."
The angel moved closer and touched the woman. "But you have made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
The angel asked: "Will she be able to think?"
The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate."
The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."
"That's not a leak," the Lord corrected, "that's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice. They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts
>break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH

Today's my last day at work. Well, last half day at work I should say. Had extra half a day of annual leave, so technically I've finished work. But guess what, I am still loitering in the company. It's a really bad feeling, to leave when all your friends are still working.. feeling sad when it was time to leave...some asked me to stay and loiter till 12am, and well, that's what I'm gona do. And since I don't have to work already, I'm here at the Internet kiosk lepaking and blogging. It's fun when you don't have to work and all. But of course, all your mates are working...darn...
Neways, what's my feeling now that it's my last day. Erm, I would say a little sad to know that I am leaving everyone behind. But there's no regrets to that. I don't know how things will be in the new job, but I think it won't be as bad as I think it would be. Nevertheless, it's a venture to the unknown territory and I am ready to face it. Well, not totally, but as ready as I can ever be. Just gona be open and see what's there to see...
Any updates on my behalf? Well, it was just last weekend that Mel and I were at Spore. It was so different there. It felt safe, like Australia, but in an Asian context. Kinda nice the feeling that we get when we were there. Yet, of course, this cannot compete with being in Australia and it's weather. Make me miss a lot of people more when I was there. Wish everyone were back in Spore and that we can hang out together. Nevertheless, it'll be a few more months before everyone is back. I can't wait!!!
Going to start in my new job next Monday. A mixture of fear and blurness is surrounding me at the moment as I do not know what to expect. Don't think it will be that bad qua. Nonetheless, the first couple of days would be induction, so I hope I can get back to normal time by then...
Tuesday is my birthday ady. Wow, a year older..do I feel it, not really..haha...don't know leh... How am I going to celebrate it? I seriously have no idea, I guess I'll just get some of my friends out for dinner and then hang around I guess. The person that I really want to hang out with is working and oh well, we're hanging out this Saturday, so it'll be cool. Aiya... it's not a guy ok!! Hahah, it's Mel lor...my sista mar... of coz wana hang out with my sista.. tho we're not blood sistas but people who know us would know how close we are... Gona miss not having her around me most of the time when we're working... I guess we can't always be with each other, but nonetheless, I believe our sistaship and frenship will continue to grow and be there, like those friendship that we have in Gippy!!! Wish ya all can celebrate my birthday with me!!! Sigh... oh well... muaks to ya all....
It'll be 12 in a hour's time..and at that time I will truly be gone from this place.. will truly miss the people that I've met here. We've grown so close in such a short time. Do hope that our friendship will continue to last.....

Wanted to write something but I can't remember what I wanted to write. Oh yar, I was looking through my blog and suddenly it occurred to me that it's been over a year since I've started blogging. Time really does fly. I've changed a lot during the past year, my thoughts, my approach, how I see life and etc. Some changes greatly, others mildly, but changes did happen.
The times in Australia was of great peace to me. Such peace to the extent that I cannot even grasp the generosity that God poured out into my life that year there. Before and after was a big change, things ain't as well as it seems I would admit that. But I thank God for the chance to feel the peace that I felt when I was. His timing is immaculate and perfect, no one could doubt that. Friends came in like flood, and along the way we became family rather than friends. Bonds grew stronger and stronger as time flies. Even though we are far apart, yet the bond is still in existence. Sometimes I have the urge to just cry out and grasp that bond once again, but I realise that the bond that exist is so special that it's hard to find a new one again.
Life can be so empty without that bond, without that reaching out. So hard at the moment, friends who used to be so close now seem so different. I've changed since I came back. I felt a little colder, felt a little heartless. Sigh, I can only pray and hope that I won't be too adapt to it. Sometimes I wish the warmthwill embrace me totally, that I will not be the person that I think I am becoming. Deep reminders for me at times like this is the fact that I was once filled with total warmth from friends who became family, so much so that it engulfed me and brought me higher and higher.
I was asked recently, who is your inspiration. It hit me that I have no one who inspire me. Inspiration came out of the inner me, from the strength that I've built by myself. Yet, a little persistent thought kept coming. I can say that it's the Holy Spirit who inspire me. He is the one who showed me what is right and wrong, my inner voice I call Him. It was Him that kept bugging me when I am about to make the wrong choice. He is the one that continue to be with me even when I do wrong. Such great heart He has. I truly thank Jesus for this gift that He's given to me.
The song by Juwita Suwito titled You in Me speaks deeply to my soul. I don't need to prove myself, just need to show and tell it's You in me. I realise that I can't live without Him, so empty, so nothing without Him. I wish that there's someone out there who can help me to be closer to Him. It's so hard when even the church I am going to ain't helping much. So dry, so thirsty for something more. sigh...I can only rely on Him... can't do anything else...for I am totally His.....
Makes me wonder, must I join in the politic games in the company? I'm so used to not being liked by people, so heck care..but it makes me wonder, am I, being myself, that annoying? Sigh, I wish things were like last time, simple and direct. It seems that being direct is also a problem in workplace. Maybe I'm just not cut out to be a player. I am never a player, be it in school, in work and etc. I am myself, and it seems that it annoys people too. Wish I don't have to work, but have the chance to praise God always.. that will really make my day...sigh, but reality is reality, we gotta face what's coming I guess...

Was surfing around and came across this. It coincides with what I wrote in the afternoon today, which I want to share with everyone. God can be amazingly humourous sometimes. So here goes...
A revelation hit me today with regards to the game, truth or dare.This game is such a hit amongst people of all ages. To me, it's a game of choice. We make a choice while playing, a choice to tell the truth, another to play a dare (with reason you don't want to tell the truth).
What hits me is that if you choose to tell the truth, it means that you 'dare' to tell the truth and that you have to courage to do so and to face whatever critiques or sneers or smirks from your 'friends'. In this world that is filled with lies (white lies are still lies) it takes a daring person, a courageous person, a gutsy person to stand up to the truth. Jesus is one person that I know that never backed down when he was dared to tell the truth. The Pharisees dared him, and many times he took up the dare to tell the truth. He is the testimoney of truth. He lived the life of truth, and choice that he made and willing to carry it through. He died , he layed his life down for truth, for the choice he had made. It happened two thousand years ago.
Since then, many who are followers of Christ joined Him, taking up the dare and proclaim the truth. Many are persecuted for their choice. Many died for their choice. Even today, in neighbouring countries like China and Pakistan, thousands are still making that choice. And many are still being persecuted, being killed for their choice.
For us who live in a democratic world.. are we making that choice? I am willing to admit that I failed many times, the little white lies that I've said to my family, to my friends and to the people around me. It is a choice, a choice to be daring in telling the truth. Lots of times we shrank from telling the truth due to fear, fear for other's feelings, fear for what they think of you, fear for a whole heap more...Thus, we chose fear instead. But if we take that tiny step to tell the truth, we'll free ourselves from fear. I encourage you, and also myself to take up this dare from me. Tell the truth. Your truth makes a difference. Every truth that comes from our mouth frees us from fear, every truth that comes our from our mouth slices the devil, who is the father of all lies. So give it a try, tell the truth...
I DARE YOU!!
- thousands of Christians in Malaysia are praying and fasting
- prayers are being said every minute and every hour
- Malaysian Christians praying for countries around them
- prayer = spiritual weapon from God
- Christians in Malaysia is doing heavy battle in this 40 days fasting and prayer with the Devil and against his evil schemes
- God is moving in this nation
- God called me home
- He has a purpose for me to play in this movement of His
I need to prepare myself and make myself available for God! That is what I want to do...
Father Lord, prepare my heart, take me in your arms again, whisper to me, for I am waiting for you.....
I am currently joining this 40 days fast and prayer which is carried out every year for a few years now. I am telling others not because I want to let you all see and know that I am fasting, but to ask you to join me in this 40 days of fasting and praying. Anyone of you all tired? Anyone of you all feeling burden? Wishing for a spiritual breakthrough (like me???), then join me in this. Let's give glory to God.
I'm sure a lot of ppl must be wondering what happened to me. Well, I'm still alive and well, thanks for caring and for being around. My notebook is still can't be used. That's one of the reason why I'm not blogging as often (not that I am doing it often..). Another reason is I'm using a PC at the moment and the keyboard is super loud everytime i click one of it's button, like for example now.. at this minute that I'm typing whatever I'm typing I'm worried that I'll wake my aunt up.. and the stupid spacebar is so louddd... arghhhhh.....Aside from those reason, I've been tired, don't feel like going online when I come home......

Can't write too long as I don't have that much time. Had fun when Din was here. Hopefully things will go smoothly in our plans on going to Spore coming Sept for Din's graduation. Have yet to tell my parents about it, but I'm sure it won't be a problem.
A friend of mine asked me to attend referee course. Am still thinking about it. Been so long since I've involved myself in taekwondo. Would be fun to attend the refresher course, at least when they need a referree they can look me up and also I will be able to earn some extra money. Am still thinking...

How's everyone? Well, I'm better now. No longer a sickly person wo can't talk (like last Wednesday, lost my voice due to throat infection). At least now am better. Sigh, me at workplace using the company's internet system at the moment.
Life is still pretty much a mystery. Want to elaborate on it but yet not enough time. dinner break's ending and I gotta leave soon..
Miss talking to people on the net, miss surfing... but life ain't all that there is. Will go and explore the ongoings of my surrounding.. seeking God, looking for something more fruitful I guess...
Wednesday, July 7, 2004
Am currently sick.. sigh, hate it when I get sick. Worse still I lost my voice today! ARghh... super super soft ar my voice.. like something stuck at my throat. Super annoyed.. and it hurts everytime I try to swallow. Sigh... hope to get well soon, so can work and can hang out with Geraldine who's coming up this weekend!! Yay... this is gona be fun... keke
In the mean time... must fasta get well!!!

Think I better let everyone about the interview that I went. I actually had an interview with Maxis. For those who are Malaysians, you would know what this company is all about. It's one of the major telecommunication centre in Malaysia and one of the biggest company around. It would be real good if you manage to get into this company. The position I went for the interview is Customer Care Consultant. It sounds nice, but trust me, it's not really. It's basically deals with customer complaints, mostly escalated cases as that when the department will deal with. Neways, I'm not really interested in this position. Reason I went was that there might be a chance where they would offer me a different position, and also for the interview experience. Things went on well. I don't think it would be a problem. I talked till I was so thirsty.. haha.. praise God for this opportunity and for Him granting me favour in the eyes of my interviewer. Did not regret going for the interview although at the end of the day I was super tired as I woke up 7plus that morning and worked till 12 at nite... it was quite fun.. people were nice and all..
For now will leave it to God to decide....

A lot of things that God does amazes me. Some might think that I sounded fake or that I'm not real when i'm saying it, but know this, I am truly amazed by Him. One God who is so powerful, so strong, so omnipotent can be so gentle, so patient and so full of love. He Himself is such a contrast that I cannot, nor do I think any human, could comprehend.
A friend said something that amazes me the other day. She said that I am so young yet I know so much about myself. I was truly stunned, for I don't think I know myself that well. Know what, this knowledge does not come from me, but from God. He has made known to me lots of things. He lets me see a lot of things and taught me what's right and wrong. Sometimes I stumble, I forgot, I chose to be stubborn, but yet, He knows me well, so well that He makes me see a lot of things and experience a whole heaps of things. Things are changing now, lots of it. It's hard to explain, but things are changing. I hope I can keep up with. I truly wish to know what's His purpose is for me in this life.
Third Day - Love Song
This song hits me, He did so much for me.. so much that there's nothing I can say or do that would make me want to give Him up...
Super tired today. I know I need to make a lot of decisions, but I am not ready to move on. It's so hard to move on when you don't know where you're heading. I know I need to make the decisions myself and I can't rely on other people. Super hard to find support these days and it's harder to even share things with people. Some just don't understand... nothing to say liao

Was doing devotion and found it quite refreshing. Was asked to write down 20 things that I should give thanks to. Will change our perspective in life. Give it a try, no matter you're feeling down, sad or bored, write down 20 things in life that has been good in your life and still is.
Mine's listed below:
I am thankful for God:
1. For being alive
2. For having a loving family
3. For loving me eventhough I turned away from Him at times
4. For all the friends in my life
5. For friends who are far away but yet remembers me
6. For the close friends who surrounds me spiritually and mentally
7. For the job that I have now.
8. For the ability to listen, to hear
9. For the ability to talk, to sing
10. For the ability to walk and do things with my hands
11. For the love that has been poured out to me by the people around me
12. For the support that I get from my dearest friends
13. For the abiliy to cry and to laugh
14. For being able to see
15. For being able to feel, to sense
16. For having shelter over my head
17. For having a bed to sleep in at the end of the night
18. For having the sense of security
19. For being able to do the things that I like and love to
20. For this wonderful place where I can spill my thoughts out
Sometimes it's hard for us to be thankful for the things that we have right now. We have the feeling of wanting more, and thus we seek more and be easily frustrated when we don't get them. If we were to focus not on our frustrations but be thankful for the things that we have in our life, than things would be different in us wouldn't it.

Really sorry for those who comes to the blog regularly but still read the same new old thingy.
What is there to write at the moment? Can't think of anything. Am listening to Avalon's album, the very best of Avalon. It's a really cool album and I love it heaps.
A friend's birthday is coming up and I am like being the intermediary between her and her bf. It's funny I tell you, I have no idea how I became one, but since she is such a dear friend to me, I'll try to make this birthday of hers as pleasant as I can be.
A friend told me all her nice undies got bitten by her dogs and she's really pissed off at the moment. The situation is funny, but knowing that undies ain't cheap here and also the fact that those undies are darn cool (we went shopping together), I sympathise.. duno what to do, but just gona lend her an ear...
To all my friends in Gippy, I know ya all are like going off on holidays or still in the midst of exams... Those in exams... God bless u.. take care and rest well... those going on trips.. I'll pray for God's journey mercy upon ya all, so that you'll be protected while you're on the road. Do enjoy yourselvess... know that you have friends back home who misses ya all and love ya all...

Your element is Air: Carefree, lovable, fun and
childish. Arent you cute! Your just full of
childhood spunk and happiness! Hey who said
being young was a bad thing? You have a keen
understanding of whats good in life and choose
to remain happy rather than get too upset over
things. Life is fun, who wants to be troubled
by grown-up problems? Being as capable of love
as you are you will make a wonderful parent if
and when you choose to grow up. Love is a
mystery because you only want friends not love
interests, games are better than relationships
with the opposite sex. You have what everyone
is searching for, that so called 'fountain of
youth' deep inside. You can come across as
naive and childish at times. But who cares what
they think, lets go play tag!

Come to realise a lot of things today. Hard to put some into words, but it hit me lor. I went to this Youth Moral Purity class in church today. I was really dreading it, coz I was pretty tired and slept late (my fault). I woke up late too, but it was still before the thing. I was kinda bored when I was at the class, but a lot of the things that the Pastor talk about make me realise some things in life. We're not perfect and we can never be perfect on our own. But Jesus is perfect and in His perfection He gave us life so that we can share His perfection. And I wish that the video part of the class be shown to every student in high school. It's so educational. Everything hits to the point. It's really good and it's really a wake up call to people. We might think that HIV is the most feared thing in the world, but I can tell you, there's far worse thing that spreads..STDs can kill. Not only that, it will kill your unborn child. Women will be sterile and can never have children, and these are facts and these are the truth. For those who think that condom can protect you from that. WAKE UP!! It does not.... condom is made out of plastic and it is totally imperfect! There's heaps and heaps of holes in it. Sperms might not get through, but bacteria does!!! And it will be with you at all times!! You'll carry these bacterias, aka STD!!! with you for the rest of your lives. You'll also spread it to your partner or partners every time you have sex with them! These are statistics and these are facts! HELLO EVERYONE! TIME TO WAKE UP!!
You think everyone is having sex... think again! Wake Up!! Don't be pressured into it. That's not the fact. I know heaps of people who aren't doing it. And please, sleeping with that person won't keep him/her with you... knock knock!! be real. If he truly loves you, do you think he'll even ask you for it? He'll respect you for who you are and your stand. Come on man, do you need it so desperately?
Sex is beautiful and it's wonderful! No one can deny that. God created that! But hey, HELLO!! He created it in the boundaries of marriage. He created sex so that we can be productive, to produce children! Don't be stupid okay? Your virginity is the best gift you can give to your husband/wife to be! Think about it, do you want to compare your husband/wife to those you've have had sex before? Well, you'll do it. And you will dread it! Can you imagine having intimacy with your husband but yet thinking of someone else? and husbands, you thinking of someone else when you are with your wife?
Really do hope ya all who read this realise this for a fact. I pray that God will let people see and that people will come to know.

from "In a Different Light"
I could live life alone
And never fill the longings of my heart
The healing warmth of someone's arms
And I could live without dreams
And never know the thrill of what could be
With every star so far and out of reach
I could live without many things
And I could carry on, but
I couldn't face my life tomorrow
Without Your hope in my heart I know
I can't live a day without You
Lord, there's no night and there's no morning
Without Your loving arms to hold me
You're the heartbeat of all I do
I can't live a day without You
I could travel the world
See all the wonders beautiful and new
They'd only make me think of You
And I could have all life offers
Riches that were far beyond compare
To grant my every wish without a care
Oh, I could do anything, oh yes
But if You weren't in it all
Jesus, I live because You live
You're like the air I breathe
Oh Jesus, oh, I have because You give
You're everything to me

If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. John 15:6
Fit only for the Fire
Early each spring the trees in the orchard are checked. Dead branches are sawn off, piled up, and then ignited. What a sad sight those brush piles burning at the edge of the orchards are.
Can't you almost see the heavenly gardener at work? Carefully he checks each branch. One appears to be dying, but he doesn't saw it off at once. Patiently he waits and tries repairing it. But finally the last trace of life is gone, and he saws off the dead branch. To the fire it goes.
Note carefully, though, how Jesus describes those dead branches. He doesn't say, "If anyone has no fruit," but "if anyone does not remain in me." The lack of connection with the Savior makes one a dead branch in the eyes of the heavenly gardener. The dead branches are those in whose hearts is no faith in Christ. His life-giving sap doesn't run through them, and as a result there can be no fruit in their lives. The fault lies not with the Vine, but with the branch and its connections to the Vine. I may not always be able to spot the dead branch, but the gardener knows. He who sees the heart makes no mistakes. He knows which branches are dead and saws accordingly.
How sad that brushfire in hell will be. On the other hand, how thankful I should be that God has grafted me in faith to Jesus and made me a living branch in the Vine.
Please, Lord, for your love's sake, always keep me there. Amen.
This passage from the bible has been presented to me quite often. Does it mean something to me. Yes, I think it does. I'm still trying to come to terms to it. Sigh, this is gona be hard man. Need to examine my heart and pass all the distraction in my heart to Him. Else, I would never be able to stand up again, but be miserable throughout my whole life. That is really something that I don't want. Father, I pray that You will heal this branch here, heal my heart and give me life once again. This I pray and beg of You, AmEn...
Today I am off, no work, as it's a bank holiday is UK. At first I thought, maybe I can now have a chance to rest at home. But later on I found out that my mom is not working because I was not. I felt bad, coz though we went out, I don't really feel like going out. I haven't been home much and I know that she misses me a lot. Things are kinda hard now, being back here in Malaysia, yet not being home. Sigh, things are really complicated in my life in some ways, hard to explain it all in one short. But I guess those who know me before I went to Australia knew of my lifestyle and the houses where I stayed on and all.
Went to One Utama and bought some of the things that I really want. However, I am yet to be able to find the album Cover the Earth by Lakewood Live. Sigh.. I am really looking forward to getting the CD to find out if it's really as good as Chris has said it. Nevertheless, I bought the album by Altered Frequency, a local band. Their music are good man! Well, at least to me. There are a couple of songs that hit you straight at your heart. Can't to listen to those specific songs. Not a waste of time indeed. But I did spend a lot today.. gosh.. better stop meself before I go crazy... ekke

Seeking more to life
Turning here and there
Yet so clouded by everything
What do I want?
What do I seek?
Is it Him?
Or is it something else?
I wonder
Truly wonder
Yet my heart's crying out
I want more of You!
Can I have that?
Can I reach out to Him?
Struggling, pushing
Fighting
Yet I'm still far from Him
I want You Lord!
Yet, I do the opposite things
What a fake I am
What a hypocrite that I am
Sad, so sad
Engulfed by loneliness
Engulfed by sadness
I want You..
I still hear that faint cry from my heart....

And also, when I came home from work I called my friend Chia Wei and spoke to her for like over an hour! Wah lau eh.. damn keng ar.. haha... but now damn tired...
Thursday, May 20, 2004
Want to share about some things, but will start slowly as I need to collect my thoughts.
Wana tok about work. Well, I've been working for three months liao and I guess it's time for me to think about it and have a talk about it. What do I think of the job. In a way, it's kinda cool working here as I am meeting lotsof people around my age and the working environment is pretty cool too. However, if you ask me if I am enjoying myself, I would say yes and no. It's not that things ain't good here, but I guess in a way, I don't see myself working too long here. Yet, I shall contradict myself by saying that there is a future if one does work here. Yet, I do ask myself, do I want to work here for a long period of time? Is this what I want to do? What have I studied? Shouldn't I be working what I've studied? Seriously have no idea at the moment... sometimes i feel like hey, I should take up job that is relevant to my studies, that is marketing and e commerce. But at the same time, in marketing, mostly positions available are like sales and I do not want to do that. Someone asked me before, if you don't want to do sales, then why you take up marketing in the first place? i wonder myself too. Though I know in the beginning that this isn't what I really want, yet I went ahead. But no regrets taking this subject though, not because of the major itself, but rather, it was a privilege to have known people. I know if I have taken another course, I might not have known so many people as I have known now. I might not even go to Gippsland campus and know the people there. I might have not known the close friends that I have right now. Hence, I do not regret majoring what I've majored. Given a choice, I wouldn't mind going back to study, but this time I would take up something else, something that I have more interest in.
About life in general, I am starting to try to start something in my life. Been asking around about vocal classes and all. Though they are still just some plans in my mind, yet I am glad that there's plans. Not that I want to go out and be a performer, but I love to sing and I want to learn more about it. I want to sing, to be better at it, not to show off but rather, so that I can use it for Him. I want to sing for Him, it's a passion of mine and I want to make it happen.
Life at current state ain't that good. Am living quite a routine life. One that shouts I AM BORED!!! Some things are too routine in my life right now. I miss the times where I would do things out of the blue. Walk to the park, walk to friends house. Cook something to eat for no reason, get together with friends to sing for no reason, go to the hexagon for no reason, go to uni with my heavy laptop for no reason, go out in the middle of the nite in the cold and look up the sky for no reason...
Actually i miss uni life i guess. Especially the one that I have in uni. Thanks man for making my life so enjoyable in Gippy... and thanks for being part of my life. I know it would be hard for us all to get together again, for we are from all walks of life. But the chance for us to know each other and to share a part of our lives has been a good one. I shall forever cherish the moments we have.
Sometimes I wonder if working life is really like this? I want something more out of my life. I don't just want to live life as it is right now. I know there is something more to life and I want to go out and grab it.
Sigh, damn late liao now. Gona head to bed now.....

Well, like the title says, the weekend is here. So fast right! CAn;t believe it, another week has gone. It's like the end of the support period for us. My trainer from UK went home on Friday, and we are now officially on our own. Scary to know that, coz at least on my part I still need some help here and there. But hopefully things will be better along the way.
Hey, congrats all ISA committees and all those who helped make culture night a success. I know it's hard work and yet you all did well! Congrats!!!
KInda boring this weekend. Not much plans and all, also not feeling too well myself. Don't think I would want to talk much coz I sound funny right now. I don't sound like myself. I sound several octaves lower! Gosh, I don't even want to hear my voice at this moment. But hopefully I will be well soon as I would need to start making phone calls to customers on Monday. Sigh.. scared, but it's part of work, so hafta bear with it.
Tomorrow's mother's day. Didn't get anything for my mom. But I think I will just take her out for dinner. Don't know what to get for her. CAn;t think of anything that she wants that I can get for her. And her being a mother wouldn't allow me to buy her things when she is there. I offered last weekend when we were out, but she deliberately chose not to buy anything. Sigh, mothers. But I thank God for such a wonderful mother, one who is fair and loves her family dearly, one who bears all the sufferings and all discomfort just for her children, for her family. She is one woman that I admired and love dearly. Happy mother's day to all mothers out there. Friends, give your mom and call and wish them happy mother's day. I am sure they would be very very happy...
Thoughts are scattered, can't think of a proper way for me to write thing coherently. Am not making sense to myself too... think I'll go rest a bit...

To all those in the ISA committee... All the best in your preparation for the culture night event. I am sure that you are all tired and stressed out and can't wait for it to come. I can't be there to support ya all physically, but do know that I am supporting ya all from afar. Jia you alrights....
THose who are in Gippy, do go and have fun at the culture night. THere's performance that one should not miss (seriously!! I really hope to be there to see the performance by Joo, Zyan and SAmson....) and I believe also the picture taking and all with all your friends. Do take heaps, for they will be so memorable, as they are to me.
Have fun ya all ok!!! Take care and God bless

Today is one day that I really did rest. As there is no youth cg today I came home early and slept for a few hours. Those are good precious hours to me as I have not been sleeping well and enough for the past few days.
Lost the mood to write liao. Will continue another day when my thoughts are more well versed and prepared.

Okay, interesting things in the office. I've been making phone calls to people in the UK and it's interesting to hear their slangs. I for one picked up a phone call to which I have no idea what the other party is say. Gosh, that was like super scary coz I had to ask her to repeat and she doesn't sound happy about it. Nevertheless, someone was around and thus, the phone was passed on.. PHew!!... Made other phone calls and some are really nice. But yet, there is always still a moment of fear when you pick up the phone to call, not knowing if they other party is friendly, not knowing if you will understand what they are saying (their accents are a lot more heavier than Australians!!! aw mannnn). But I guess it's something that I need to get used to, as I will be making calls more often in the future due to the case they we are handling. However, we will attend some call coaching sessions whereby we will listen to our own conversations (aw man, I don't want to hear my own voice... coz i know i stuttered a lot!!) and will get some pointers on how to improve the way I converse on the phone. OH well, I don't think I will pick up their accents but I guess I will need to improve on being more professional on the phone. Looking forward for those call coaching too, coz then I can learn something new everyday.
Was kinda stressed out today, reason being we were told that we might have to go to work again on Monday, which is supposed to be a public holiday to work. Our work queues are quite high. Oh, we have a certain amounts of cases that we need to complete in a day and it seems that we are not up to it, hence there are a lot of cases from past days which we should have cleared off earlier. My friend and I decided to try to clear one queue today and both of us managed to do it, not leaving out some of the other people who picked up some of the cases from that queue along the way. We have managed to clear the queue, but we are still not sure as to whether we are to come back to work on Monday or not. Hopefully we won't have to as I want to rest during this break. It's like the only time that I have to take a break off everything and to stay at home and rest. I have seriously not been doing that for a long long time. Work can really take up your time, and also weekends, being the only time which you can spend with friends and family, it'll be totally packed. But I am thankful for those few hours of rest that I do get. Weekend is here soon and I can't wait to rest man.
My trainer, Allan, who is from Uk will be leaving home next Friday. I will miss him dearly, as he has been a very good trainer. He is one patient guy, no matter how rude some of my colleagues were to him, he maintained his cool and patience. I totally salute him for it, coz for me I know I won't have this kind of patience in me. Him, being only a year older than me but yet so well versed in his job, amazes me a lot. I will truly miss him, for this might be the only chance that he is here in his whole life. Am glad that we are able to hang out together at times and to spend time getting to know each other. Truly am glad for this opportunity to know someone.
A lot of things has happened in my life for the past few weeks and it's hard for me to bring them all up and put it down in words. Sometimes I can't remember all of them too. But I am thankful for every moment and every opportunity that came my way, that I am able to stand firm and stand strong now, to be able to be myself and to be the person that I am. Although I am still young and I am still learning, I believe that it is up to us to take up the opportunities and challenges that comes our way. I might be young, but I know life won't wait for us and we must take up every opportunity to do what we want and what we wish to. We can day dream and all, but to be able to fulfill them would be the most satisfying thing in the world for me.
In some ways I know I am growing to be a more mature person. I am not different for those who know me. I am still as playful, and naughty and as hyper. But yet, there is a sense in me that I know I am different in some ways, that I am no longer just that girl who likes to play and etc, but also a girl who knows that there is more to life. I know that the way I'm living my life right now is not really what I want, but for now, I am content with what I am doing. When the time comes, I know I will take every opportunity given to me and I will move on, to continue to take up the challenges and to continue to grow to be the person that I know God wants me to be.
I am still learning...and I will learn till the day I die... one wish that I will always want it to come through, that is to be able to learn and to grow....
Sigh.. crapping liao.. duno what I am writing liao. I will stop here. It might take me another few weeks before I update myself here, or maybe I will actually write again tomorrow, who knows.. but feel free to visit this page and feel free to let me know what is in your mind. God bless everyone who comes upon this site. May you feel the blessings that God wants to pour out to you.
p/s: to all my friends, I remember you and I miss you guys heaps. Take good care of yourself and I hope to see you all again soon... with love from my heart always... muaksss
