MaLaCCa TRiP... AwEsOmE!!

This one week break before the new year begins and a year full of new plus bigger challenges ahead I'm so happy to be able to use it to the fullest.
After a super stressful Reproductive System Assesment...Finally got holiday!! Woohoo!! =P
I went Malacca with the invitation to stay at A-Sister's place (Nisha's house) together with my 2 other uni mates...Christabel and Man Keat..Waking up early to catch the bus was worth it coz the trip was tons of fun!!

We shopped at Jonker's street and sight see the various historical spots...recalling my childhood days where I was so amazed by the buildings..plus I had a tasty bowl of ice kacang...yumm!!

Next best thing was the A Famosa Waterpark...where we went together with Nisha's family..And I went on the craziest slide ever...but didnt have the guts to take the even steeper slide at the last minute but tricked Man Keat into doing it instead haha!! We sat on the tube together with Christabel which slides up so high on the side that you are actually facing vertically downwards...Wacky!!

Tomorrow's another long day...MYF will be singing for church's new year eve service...and I need to be there early...but it'll be fun too!!

I just feel that I'm the luckiest person to be able to have such great friends and blessed with so many good and fun times...

Well...HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!! MAY ALL THE DREAMS AND WISHES YOU HAVE FOR 2006 COME TRUE...HAVE A BLAST WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! GOD BLESS!!

God's Grace & Love..

Today I felt something I haven't felt for sometime....
As I was pouring out my feelings of sadness for my friend...I felt that I wasn't doing anything to help her...and it made me feel bad

I went to her house today together with my mum and 2 other aunties whom we know in church..none of us knew what to expect or do coz we don't know her actual needs or situation.

I really do admire my friend. She didn't give up on things but instead tried to take up the responsibility to take care of her family as she's the eldest daughter. Although she was emotionally discouraged at times, she took things in such a positive manner and remain strong. Something I dont know if I could carry if I was in her shoes.

I believe that God made it happen in a such a way that my mum's close friend, shared with the rest of the church members in one of their meetings about my friend the previous night. People were touched and started to donate some money to help my friend and one aunty even volunteered to come with us to visit her although she doesn't know her at all.

Now, my mum and the other 2 aunties are trying their best to get help from every source they could think of to help lift the few burdens off my friend's shoulders especially helping her with finances to complete her studies and I believe somehow its part of God's work in my friend's life.

The only thing all of us can do is to pray for her and her family that their burdens would be lifted by God and He will fill them with the strength that day need to get through each day. I pray that God will grant my friend the assurance that everything will turn out right with God by her side and she'll find peace in Him. And of course, God would ease her mum's pain and suffering as much as possible and come to know Christ as well...

Despite all that has happened, somehow God showed the 4 of us and my friend and her family hope...like something that caught my attention today.

The dark skies and heavy downpour with thunder and lightning are only for a short period and God can just clear them away and bring back the clear blue sky plus a beautiful rainbow. And that's my wish for my dear friend this coming new year.

My HoPe FoR ThE CoMiNg DaY...

I'm finally keeping up to my promise to go visit my dear friend...

I know she's currently going through a lot of stuff...things I could never imagine myself facing...
Its the same friend I described previously...

I just really wanna pray that God would give me and the rest of us going to visit her and her family the strength, wisdom and of course love that would touch their hearts and lives... Hopefully, we would be able to touch her mother's heart especially as she's terminally ill... of course my friend and her sis too...

We're all going to visit her and see what we can do for her mum as well as for my friend and her sister.

I really don't know what to expect or do yet...but I know that I wont need to rely on my own strength or worry about anything...coz God would be with me...

All I really wanna do is to be with her..and to let her know that I'm always there for her...and to share with her the God whom I love and has filled my life.
I pray that she would know Him too...so that her seemingly empty life would soon be filled with everlasting joy, love, peace and hope.

Its ChRiStMaS DaY!!

Finally....the awaited day has come...Christmas!! A time of joy...love...friendship...family...
I am so blessed with great family and friends...and of course to have God in my life...
Christmas always speaks of God who loved us so much that despite our sinful nature He sent His Son to earth as a man to die on the cross on behalf of all of us... He is the One who still loves and cares for us the most despite all our imperfectness...

Just being able to celebrate Christmas and knowing the true meaning of Christmas all my life is already a gift...coz I have received the gift of salvation just by believing in Jesus!!

However at the same time...my heart is saddened...
I got to know about a dear friend of mine whom I have known since primary school...she was my classmate most of the years we were in school...
She's a very bright and smart student...ever hardworking...always the top student..and yet she would still help me with the difficult subjects like math...
We used to chat a lot on the bus together...and she's a great listener...

Recently, her dad passed away suddenly...but I heard it was due to lung infection...and even before that...I was told her mum is terminally ill...
I remember her telling me that her plans were to quickly finish her course and get her degree so that she could start working and support her family...she does her best to complete her course in the shortest time possible...and I really admire her for that.
After hearing about her family...my heart just melted...I can only imagine how she's feeling... I do really want to be there for her...and let her know that she still has support and someone who loves her...

I do pray that God will give her the strength and fill her heart with love and take away the feeling of loss from her...for I know the feeling of loosing someone I love a lot...

CaNt BeLieVe IT!! Its Christmas!! Its the end of 2005!!

Hooray!! Exams are done!! Its time to celebrate Christmas!! Plus I have a week break and *poof*It'll be 2006 in a weeks time too!!

I had such a great time this month although I was dreading the anticipation of facing my reproductice system test. But the rest was worth it. Going to FRIM, Christmas party, hanging out with my friends & family, family trip to Cameron's....Its was all so fun!!

This is kinda like my 20th Christmas I guess...and each year God blesses me with surprises!! We would tend to think that celebrating Christmas every year would soon become some sort of a routine but as for me, God always seem to amaze me with His surprises...making each Christmas unique...

Each year I always felt the warmth, the joy in celebrating Christmas...although its sad to see others not knowing the true Christmas story...and treating it as just another holiday...

I believe I can say proudly today the I'm one of the most blessed person on earth to have received so much of blessings both from God and the people I love...

So....those of you feeling down...during this Christmas...pick yourself up....believe in the true meaning of Christmas...and trust me...God will do wonders for you...!!

Have a blessed Christmas everyone!! And A superb New Year 2006 too!!

Boring...Boring...Boring...

Life ever since returning back to uni has been pretty boring...
Of course...I'm glad to meet my friends again...
It's just that normally its holiday at this time of the year...but...this year's different...
I'm finding it hard to concentrate and study with so many other exciting stuff happening around me...and my test is coming up on December 23...
So...when I'm looking forward to Christmas it also means that I am looking forward to the test.. which is not something I would want to think about right now looking at the pile of notes growing day by day...
Well..we'll see how things would go as time passes on....
Hopefully I can cover everything before the test....
Gotta return back to my books...*Sigh*
