My friends and I were already coming out with plans. Plans that will hopefully be executed by the time finals is over, which is in a matter of weeks. See how desperate we were? Yes, we are.

Just completed my anatomy test a couple of days ago, which I hate to say, turn out pretty bad for me. I had all the confusing facts mixed up, and the answers I gave was *ahem* rojak-y.

And, amidst of all this, I'm missing my Sophie!

This is what I meant. How could you not love such a cute creature like this?

It was shocking to hear that there are people out there in Malaysia who would actually consume dogs' meat. Terrible huh? It is. And when dogs are called men's best friend, it hurts my heart even the more 'coz they definitely do not deserve such treatment.

Say NO to eating dogs' meat.

Aku masih tercari-cari
kehendakMu dalam hidupku ini
Adakah berbaloi segala yang telahku lakukan selama ini?
Atau ianya hanya semata-mata demi
kepuasan hatiku?

Aku sedia menanti
Menanti jawapan daripada Mu.

So, I went to the post office today to get my surat penangguhan Program Latihan Khidmat Negara (PLKN in short) mailed.

Yes, I'm staying. Won't be going anywhere for the time being. But oh how i dread the fact that i'll be missing out the whole fun at NS. The final batch would be leaving this Saturday, and Gua Musang could have been my destination-to-be if I were to go. Etnobotani something something to be exact. I forgot.

Dad and mum had the final say on this matter, though I wished they would understand how badly I wanted this. I won't blame them. The many deaths that happenned must have scare them.

Opportunities are aplenty. This time, it's for my own good. And life.

This journey called life, may or may not leave a significant impact to some of us. Nevertheless, as runners of this race, we are called to run it well and finish it. Victoriously.

However, along the way, we are constantly conformed to this feeling of wanting to give up.

Obstacles are meant to be there. To make us stronger. To build up our faith.

Persevere through with patience and a trust that is built upon God, and with that comes hope.

A hope where at the end of this journey, upon reaching the finish line, we can see ourselves clinging onto the prize. The prize is life itself. The final victory will be ours.

Wonderful, isn't it? =)

I am already smiling from ear to ear by the time the clock strikes 4 o' clock. By the way, that was yesterday. I can now officially declare my freedom for the next 22 days before Sem 2 begins. And that was It. Bachelor of Science (Hons) Biomedical Science Year 1 Sem 1 has successfully ended. The next big thing in mind. Yesh... Holiday!!

I couldn't agree more that 22 days is pretty short. Nevertheless, it shall be a time well spent.

List of things to do for the next 22 days:

1. Clean-up room. A-must-do-or-get-nagged thing. My room is practically in dire need of
cleaning up. Condition of room, one word. Terrible. Shall not elaborate further.

2. Movies! Hate to say it, but Primeval was the last movie I watched, which is totally outdated
by now. Iron Man, here I come!

3. Out-of-the-house! Finally got the green light from dad and mum, even before I need to open
my mouth. Love ya lots! =)

4. Gifts. Mothers' Day around the corner plus birthdays.

5. Global Day of Prayer. A corporate prayer event on May 11. And yes, it's on Mothers' Day.
Still under consideration.

We'll stop at 5. Not the end of my list that's for sure, just had nothing else in mind right now. The list will build up eventually.

Bye for now!

I shall leave a verse taken from the book of Jeremiah in the Bible, for those who are feeling unsure and insecure of their future. People like me.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

- Jeremiah 29:11 -

Uni days

2008-03-14T09:58:00.000-07:00

So, i finally kick started my uni life at UTAR two months ago. Which means i won't be going to australia soon (in the future maybe... if only i can find myself sponsorship). Which means i'll be still 'enjoying' the noise of my brothers at home, and the music that cometh out of mommy's mouth.

Coming 8 weeks into uni life, and i find myself missing G10 by each passing day. G10-ians, u guys rocks man! Though there may be rough times, but i'm still missing the company and joy and laughter we shared together for the past 11 months.

The lepaking at 1U after class, the never-failing lunch gathering at Asia Cafe, the rush for Dr. Santha's assignments, the jokes with Mr.Yap. The list goes on. If only I could turn back the clock. If only...

Still, life has to go on...

With Esther having a heck of a time in Bahrain, Chooi Yen heading for the States, and a couple or two to New Zealand and Aus.. Oh man! Why is everyone leaving?

Carrying on.. Uni life ain't a bed of roses. Reality versus fantasy. Don't expect to get what you see on tv. One heck of lies is all you'll get! It'll seriously be a dream come true if universities in Malaysia will be of the same standard with universities oveseas, particularly US. And the great-experience-guarateed that students will get just make uni life so memorable.

It was a struggle in the beginning for me to cope with uni life. With language barrier my major problem, I find myself speaking chinglish (combo of chinese and english). Cool huh! So, lesson learnt... Never be a banana! Even half of the yellow fruit will do.

Nevertheless, gotta just be grateful for this life and education I'm blessed with.

Am counting my blessings each day!

Sales!!!

2008-01-11T07:35:00.000-08:00

Biggest sale in Malaysia is back! Now in full force.

With more prices to bargain for and...

Yup! That's what i mean... The picture above does all the talking.

I am over a week late after SAM 2008 started off last week... And like what tradition does, 2nd-hand books are to be passed down to the younger generation of Taylor's SAM students.Made my way to Taylor's around noon using mum's faithful Kenari, charging through the heavy, noon rain. Reached destination safe and sound. Rain too stopped.

1st mission... To paste all advertlets at strategic locations around Taylor's. Places where SAM students will normally pass by. Keeping fingers crossed, my heart quietly pray there'll be a buyer today.

2nd mission... Walked around Taylor's like a mad person, promoting my books to whoever i see has the SAM-look. U'll just somehow now... ~ Mission failed!

Dissapointment. Urghh... Got back to my car... Guess that was the best thing to do at the moment. Juz to ease myself. Whispering quietly under my breath to God "Juz let there be one buyer, pleaseeeee! "

Phone rang the next minute. Unfamiliar number appeared on screen. Pick up phone. "U selling SAM books?" "Yup, u interested to buy? Every single one in the package? All for 80 bucks! Fine with you?" "Yes.. Deal!" " Deal!"

My heart leaped for joy. Amazed at how God works in small areas in my life. Areas that I thought He would not pay attention to. And He's proven that to me... Today!

Many would think as me being lucky... Well, as for me, no doubt it's God's wonderful hand of work... Praises to Him!!

Recent Updates

2008-01-09T21:51:00.000-08:00

Been quite a while since i posted my last post, back then in November.

Much has hapenned... All memories still fresh in mind... But urghh,hate to elaborate further.

Anyway, renewed my passion for reading recently, after finding the word boredom writen all across my face ever since SAM results were released. After knowing that i wont be going to uni anytime soon...

One of the best books i've read so far.. 'Redemption' is one novel not to be missed, people!!

A motivational and heart-capturing Christian novel by Karen Kingsbury and Gary Smalley. U wont be left dissapointed after reading it.

A phrase from the book captured me : " Love is a decision."

I'm bad at promoting something, let alone a novel. But thought i could share this book , to those who desperately needs inspiration and encouragement. To those who needs restoration in their relationship...

Jesus can do that.

"My grace is sufficient for you." - Jesus -

What a Relief

2007-09-28T07:41:00.000-07:00

Fiuh...

The battle is finally OVER!! 5 days 'warring' on the battlefield certainly is long...

* Waking up as early as 5am for 3 days to sit for the 3 hours papers...CRAZY!!
* 2am..and still doing my last minute revision...had to be up few hours later...IMAGINE THAT!!
* 'bercekung mata' in the car, expecting to absorb every bit i left out...URGHH!!
* next thing i know...freezing in the exam hall...and even the thickest and furriest sweater will
not keep me warm...ZZZ..
* thank God for no blood shed in this 'war'...but oh yes, lots of sweat!! Each question require at
least 1 minute to think AND write...ARE THEY MAD? WE'RE JUST NORMAL HUMAN
BEING!! but, unless you're Einstein, it's a total different scenario...
* the best part is IT'S OVER!!

No exams until the finals in November...
Till then, enjoy while i can...and ehhmm,try to make time to study...

I can do all things thru Christ who strenghtens me...Amen.

Juz To Keep Myself Inspired...

2007-08-27T07:38:00.000-07:00

I am no poet,
But good poems keep me inspired,
To finish the race i must,
With faith and perseverance.

Don't Quit
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit -
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.
