Mixed feelings

June 23, 2008

okay….
i’ve finally gotten a clearer picture of what’s it like 2 months down the road… not as clueless as before… yet, i’m abit apprehensive to face sun, due into uni for orientation, spent today waiting for my medical check up and to take x-ray… fren ask how to pay uni fees, i’m not quite sure and well, one thing came to mind… independence… am i independent enuf to face uni… dei! wei chin says that i’m thinking a lot that why i came to that conclusion… tab said prob i’ll start all over and become a ‘lala’ person… lol… imagining me becoming ‘lala’, i think i’d give SF a shock… hehe…
anyhows, i feel inadequate to leave home for a whole year… yea, i will be able to come back during the weekends, but i guess i’m starting to get clingy to home… hmmm…
besides that, one of my students said something that touched my heart… i think he said it two weeks back… he hadn’t know yet that i was going to leave VERY soon…
he said, “Please don’t go… Leave next year or something, i want you to teach me” my heart melted the moment i heard it… hopefully i’ve made a difference in his life that he’ll continue to grow to be a boy after God’s heart…sigh… i’ll miss my class loads… they are just a CUTE bunch that has made my this half a year memorable… hopefully i dun cry on fri…
need to go… i wanna crash… long day tmr, staff having farewell cum birthday dinner for me… so yea…
*i would need a hug when fri comes… sigh*
Well, how was last weekend… it was fun and unexpected…. haha…
The minute the clock BARELY strike 12 my sis excitedly came and pass me a box… Got a shock of my life at that moment…. sis and parents paid for my new phone….
Now i’ve changed from
this to
 PURE AWESOMENESS when i saw it… hehe… :)
then on sunday, in church, all the wishes came in, in between all the Blessed Father’s Day.. hehe… so yea… then, after giving presents to fathers, i went home and slept 3hours away… heh….
went for basketball after that, it was real FUNNY once i stepped into the school….
Brian came running down the slope asking me all sorts of WEIRD questions i tell you…
After a series of questions, i shall share one, “If the gurl says she’s not ready, is she saying that she’s not REALLY not ready or rejecting the guy by saying that” i was like, “huh?’ haha… haven’t really been in that situation like that before so i answered as best i could… then, we walked to the bball court and SY and L greeted me, ” HI MISS ANNABELLE”  haha… out of school and i’m still called that….
then i saw Princess NyokNyok, carried her and played with her until i went to put my bag, when i saw Tab and Liz carrying out a cake!!! haha… with 20 candles on it… lol! Sis Pam and Azalea baked it and it’s the BEST choc cake EVER… the icing didn’t quite harden so it was like MOLTEN CHOC… Yum yum… so yea…they prayed for me and sang three different versions of happy birthday… then we had cake…. :)
then we continued with bball…
So it has been a good birthday… hehe… btw, in my previous blog, i posted up on my bday 2years ago that i got my ‘P’ license.. this year on my bday, I’m NO LONGER A ‘P ‘driver… i’m a certified driver… haha… is that right? anyways, i still haven’t taken out the P yet from the car… dun know when la…
Today, uni placement results came out and i got offered to do LINGUISTICS in UM… most prob taking it… some how it’s a sign cuz it’s my 2nd choice… so yea… :)
But that also means that next week is my last week in CERC… i haven’t even started with my farewell gifts for the little ones… sigh…. it’ll finish soon… i can’t believe i feel so ‘blegh’ when i think about my last week spending with the kids… probably i’ll refrain from scolding too much… depends la… will offer them mini lollipops if they behave well…
Got to go edi… another long day of 4 rounds around church and march past with the kids for the upcoming sports day… hopefully my bball players will do alright… trusting in God to help them…

Summit = Summoned?

June 14, 2008

Day 1
I left KL about 12.30 with Dad’s friend and headed straight to penang. stopped at two rest area andthere was an accident where we literally stopped moving for half an hour….
reached the hotel at about 5.20 like that and went to my room… Liz was already in the room so i didn’t have to wait for one… hehe… called room service to fix light and then, we washed up and prepared for dinner…. went down for dinner at about 6.30 andhad sitting arrangements… lol… but thankfully i was seated with Liz and Tab and Hazel… pretty cool la… after dinner Liz and i headed to the hall and we helped out with the slides… Giler stress wei! i couldn’t believe that i could get stress over this… lol… neways, Senior Pastor opened the summit with a keynote session. what i’ve learned?
  • Spiritual things are understood spiritually…
  • the more challenges i face, learn how to seek God more
  • i exist that someone might be blessed
  • ‘To Be’ is MORE important than ‘To Do’
Well, after the session, some of us decided to head out for supper and we only had one hour… after all the waiting and trying to skip going out and stuff we ended up going to GOODALL in a big group and tapau-ing instead of eating there…. Adjourned to Tab’s room and ate together(Tab,Crystal,Erin,Rach,Liz and I) went back to the room at about 12, which was VERY late… haha… had to wake up early the next day….
Day 2
Woke up at 5.30am… washed up and went for leaders prayermeet… did the slide thing again…(did it for all services) after prayer meet, went for breakfast… ate until very full and then, went for video session with Bill Hybels.. it talked about INSPIRING OTHERS.. and he mentioned that an INSPIRED person is able to do BETTER than usual… the video session has taught me to inspire those working with me in my ministry and so on… (am currently trying to think of ways to inspire them…. so yea…
After the vid, we had group discussion which is pretty scary… eheh … after discussion, we went for lunch… it was hilarious la!!!
1st place – Penang Road
we took an hour tryingto find the shop that sold the best chow kuey teow and assam laksa and cendol but i only tried the chow kuey teow and assam laksa AND chee cheongfun… so yea… shared everythingla… so was that full…. next we proceeded to
2nd place – Kimberly street(if i’m not wrong, correct me if i am)
had fried oysters and it’s the dryer kind… not so starchy…. then
3rd place – Old People’s Association
Karl’s grandma and relatives opened a restaurant there… had Roti Babi but there no pork la… hehe… by then, i was bloated… played with Judd…
After it all, we headed to Ghee Hiang, some of them bought Tambun biscuits and such….
Headed back to hotel and changed… went to beach and made this….
Then, some of them decided to try the ATV and here’s two of them…
After that, they were more adventurous and went for the Banana Boat….
i, on the other hand, decided to kick waves so Rach could take pics with it….
notice tab in the water, swimming… lol…
then, Liz joined in and we kicked water at each other… haha… it was GREAT fun… :)
we headed back to the hotel not long after that and got ready for dinner… (you must be wondering, ate whole day, still can eat dinner ah? well, i paid for it so will eat la…)
video session by Joel Osteen after worship… i was captivated by the joy that he was radiating…
i learned that i need to raise above what people have said negatively about me continue to raise above if it happens in the future… i really enjoyed his vid sermon… very cool and short and fun…
after that, the other youths went out for supper… i was already to full and getting jelak of the oil of all the fried food… so i stayed back and did my devotion and such… slept at about 12 something again…
Day 3
Woke at 5.30 again… was really tired… went for prayer meeting again… then breakfast, then video after worship… this time, it was vid sermon by Dag Heward Mills… it talked about loyalty and there are quite alot of stages of how someone becomes disloyal… Discussion after that was even more SCARIER than the day before… After discussion, we had testimonies and then, we went to pack and  left for lunch… had lunch with pastor tim and family and christine’s family… and some youths… had cendol at Penang Road after lunch and that when my phone chain rosak… left after cendol…. the road back was okay… only when we reached kl that we started to get into a jam and most of the time it was because people wanted to pump petrol due to the increase the next day… i reached home at 9 which i could actually reach home at 7+
All in All, it was a GREAT summit… learned stuff and bonded with people… accordin to Christine, i have a Siamese twin.. hehe…
Got to go off… tired… need rest.. another long day tmr… hmmm….

My pride and I

June 9, 2008

It felt as though I stepped out of myself,

And judged how I was playing,

Probably it was becuz of pride…

Not much of a clue what it was ….

But I saw myself as an amateur…

Everything felt as though

My self made confidence was breaking up

Into a thousand pieces

No matter how I tried to glue them together again

It just wouldn’t fit..

 

that was how i felt about two hours ago… pride… hmmm…

Lord, help me throw pride away… help me to be humble… guide me in my ways and continue to mold  me in the way you want me to be…

 

how nice if i could stand by the seashore, watch and feel the waves washing all my worries and insecurities away… sigh… starting to miss the beach….

On a random note:

Me: *HUG*

Anonymous: Lol. Random eh. Heh. Anyway, *hugs back* :)

*thanks fren, for once again making me smile when i was stoning and insecure yet again*

off to settle some work… enjoy ye week ya!
