Well, it has been an eventful 3days for me. =) =)
Monday Went for driving in the morning, got JPA results at noon, went to teach at shelter in the evening, and went jogging with my ever-faithful-jogging-partner Wei Wey in the later part of evening =)
Tuesday Last driving lesson in the morning. And waited for time to pass so that it will reach 2pm, cause Singapore Poly results will be out!! Actually wanted to do something else, but couldn't.. My stomach was just twisted into so many knots, and was very nervous and couldn't wait for 2pm.
Well, 2pm finally arrived and... All I saw was 'UNSUCCESSFUL'. My heart sank.. SANK. I signed out of my account and signed in again to check, about 3times. Just to make sure, just to make sure it wasn't a mistake. Well.. I didn't get it =| Was actually quite confident that I would get it, but well, God has other plans I guess.
Disheartened, I went for badminton. Thanks for the badminton time guys, felt better after that =)
Couldn't sleep that night, all the steps, all the this-and-thats I needed to do during the driving exam kept playing and repeating in my mind. The uphill, the turning into junctions, the changing of gears... Well, finally fell asleep close to 1am, but got up at about 5am and couldn't sleep since then.. Tossing and turning, talking to God (pleading God, haha.), thinking about dear Ru, Andrinna, SzeWei and Aiting in NS (miss them so much!), and again repeating all the steps of the exam in my head. And of course, trying hard to control all the butterflies in me, banging against my stomach walls, driving me crazy, haha.
Wednesday TODAY. Today finally came.. Driving exam! Waited at the driving centre with Yin Ying from 8.40am to 11+am, then only reached our turn. Thank God for Yin Ying =) Thanks ying, for all the chatting and talking and encouraging and comforting and going through the whole driving routine again with me, really appreciate it =) Well, we passed! Praise God!! :D Seriously didn't expect it.. Thanks to all who sms-ed and facebook-ed to encourage us, thanks!! =)
And the thing that made my day was... The phone call. From Ru and Andrinna!! :D So touched and happy when they called. =) =) They said they're coming back tomorrow (Thursday), can't wait to see them! =)
So yeah, that was the past three days. Really thank God for everything, seriously. =)

yet knowing how way leads on to way
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I marked the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
And yes, once again, this poem appears. =| And yes, I'm at life's crossroads. =|
Lord, grant me wisdom
*Btw, To AhRU, Andrinna, Aiting and Sze-wei: I'm really really really gonna miss you!! Take care =) *

my past week =|
The past week was LOOOOOOOONNG, tiring, packed and kinda tough. With all sorts of ups and downs, it didn't even feel like one week at all.
In one week, I went for my first driving lesson, went to Singapore with some wonderful people, spent 5 hours in the zoo, took my SPM results, did ALOT of research and readings about veterinary courses, colleges, unis, spent alot of time (and energy) thinking of my future and God's will for my life, went for my second driving lesson, and usual stuffs during the weekends.
Driving. Not as easy as I thought. Lessons are really tiring and draining (also because of the SUPER HOT weather), and most of the time in a blur. I find it hard to concentrate while driving, not in the sense that I can't co-ordinate my hand and leg movements. My mind just haven't got used to the idea that I'm actually already starting to drive. Well, honestly I find driving tough. But I guess cause I just started lessons, hopefully I will master driving one day, WAHAHAHA. God, I pray that you'll help me drive better each time =)
Singapore. It's fun to travel without parents! =P Hehe, not that I don't enjoy their company, I do! It's just that, without parents, travelling is totally different. No more car to sit in, no more instructions or guidance on how to get your way along. I went with Wei Wey, Pek Ying and Yin Ying. Purpose of trip: the ZOO! :) We were a little lost at the beginning, but thank God for Wei Wey (and Wei Ling who joined us in Spore), we managed to go here and there safe and sound! Hehe. One thing I like about Spore is their MRTs and buses! Haha, this sounds stupid, but I only took them for 2 days, so it feels kinda nice (except for those super long rides). I like it because there is something called the EZ-Link card! :P Hahha, so nice :P Well, it was a great experience, a very joyful one too, with everyone always laughing about don't-know-what. Thanks to all the YOUs, it was fun! =)
Results. Well, I've already dreamt of my results in total about 5times before results day, ever since January. (Not in the way that I get my dream results, but in the way that I screw up really badly in my results) Yeah, I was really worried and scared =X I really was hoping my dreams were just dreams, that I wouldn't screw up in my actual results, cause I really worked super hard for SPM. Well, for the first time in my life, I cried (only very little) on results day. No, not tears of joy. First time, it was tears of fear, I knew I didn't perform as I hoped to. Second time, tears of disappointment. I expected more, just a little bit more. That day, the biggest lesson I learnt was this: We don't need to have perfect scores to give praise to God. We don't always need wonderful stuffs, or only good things to praise God. All we need, is just a heart of thanksgiving, no matter how you feel, no matter in what circumstance. That day, I was tested. To give thanks, or to sulk in a corner? It's our choice.
Beyond results. Have been thinking and praying alot, where to go, Lord, where to? Choices like these, it's really stressful and draining, especially when everyone around you has something to say. It has been tough. But I'm still seeking. Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my life.
To all school-leavers, who are also struggling and seeking: Trust in the Lord with all your heart And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make Your paths straight Proverbs 3:5-6
These two verses have never meant and spoke so much to me till the past week, I hope it encourages and assures you just as it did to me. I pray that God will speak to us so clearly as we seek Him that we will not even have any doubt for His plan for us. Jiayou =)

update! (:
HELLO! =) I'm back! :P
It's been about 4months! Of course a lot has happened. Here are some highlights =) :
SPM (Nov-Dec 2009) It was really pressurizing, especially Bio (because it's one of my weakest subject although I like it the most :P ) and BK (simply because I really really didn't want to do badly in this subject!). But really thank God for His grace and faithfulness. Though I left Him behind, He didn't leave me behind. =)
YMI (Jan 2010) Was a really great experience and eye-opener! :) Was sent to a Orang Asli Kampung somewhere near Kahang, called Kampung Peta, along with John (soo), Tirzah (from FGA Cheras) and JunHao (from Hebron JB). Got to know some amazing people in the kampung, and also got to know my teammates more! =) Thank God for them :) Learnt 2 great lessons there. One is to GIVE THANKS! And to appreciate everything that I have now, to count my blessings. To give thanks each day for caring parents, chance for education, instant phoneline, closed (and door-ed) bathrooms, instant electricity, grocery stores, etc. Second, I learnt about LOVE :) The people there, though not that rich, not that advanced, they love their family so much! One night a kakak shared to Tirzah and me about her life. She said she didn't have a chance to study (after SPM) because she wants her younger siblings to have one. She sacrificed her chance to study, her future and started work after SPM because she wanted her younger siblings to have a better life. Sacrificial love, they have. :)
And so now, I'm here. Of course, much much more than only SPM and YMI took place in the last 4months. Currently, am learning driving (Driving is fun but kinda not easy =| Gahh ><>, and waiting for my results (Coming out in 3days time!! =|), and spending time with classmates before everyone goes their 'separate ways', etc. The latest update is I found a 'job'! Haha, not exactly a job lah. Will be helping out in Shelter 2 or 3 times a week, yay!! =)
That's all for now I guess, till next time. (And I THINK I will be blogging more often, hehe! :P )

man looks at the outside, God looks at the heart
"You know ah, maid in Philippines ah, even the work "maid" people don't like already.. I don't know why people look down on maid, maid is a very clean job what! You see those all cantik-cantik wan go back to Philippines, people see, say "Wahh..", but all prostitutes.. Bring back all the diseases to Philippines.. But when people marry maid ah, other people will say "Eh, you see this Peter, marry maid you know..".. At least we know the money we feed our families is our clean job, hard earned money.."
"......."
Man looks at the outside, God looks at the heart =)
Judge not, for we were not created to.
Have a nice week! :)

five loaves and two fish
About two weeks more to spm. =(
Scared scared, cause i feel so terribly unprepared. >< (Hey! It rhymes! :P ) Too little time, so much to study, so little cerebrum space left.
Have been working quite hard past 2 weeks i guess, really. But sometimes memory not good enough, work sometimes go down the drain, into the river, into the ocean.. Haha.
Anyway, today was good. =) Though a little tired, it still was a good day, for the Lord created it. =) =) Weeee.... Seeing dear people again, and going for people-deprived-sports. Haha!! (I don't really know why, but sports seem to be getting quieter and quieter. Hmm. But decreasing numbers doesn't mean decreasing fun, decreasing fellowshipping. Hehhehehe. Yay! ) Not forgetting knocking into (and injuring) people again.. =X (Sorry lehh, too kancong maybe. ><)
Well, today i was very encouraged by what aunty sze said to me. She asked me how my preparation was, i smiled and kinda sighed. Haha. (Oh ye of little faith. ><>Then she reminded me of the five loaves and two fish. God will multiply. Just do my part, and trust Him. Was really really encouraged, because for the past few days in school, teacher kept reminding us, "Girls, berapa hari lagi ah? Dua minggu tau.". And i started to worry about my revisions, and all. >< class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Thanks, thanks. (But, also was reminded that zero multiplied by a million, is still zero. So, can't slack and just wait for stuffs to fall from the sky, waiting for 'God's blessing'. Have to do my part, then God will do His! (: )
Amazed by how God just bring different people at different times. =) Jesus loves me, this I know. =)
And there, a post! Yay! =) Hahahha.
To all the people out there, still fighting and working butts off, JIAYOU! :) And make sure you don't lose your butt! =)

her name is Umi. Umi Qazrina. :)
>Wahh. 3 days of trials over. Two more weeks to go! Jia you! ><> And i believe God has been by myside each and every minute. Coz i can feel it. I can feel less stress this time. Really. =) Because he's carrying it with me. He's carrying my burden with me. Never leaving myside. =')
From the moment my life began, You have been faithful.
Thank you, Father. So so so much. =)
Anyway, here's a video. Its by Yasmin Ahmad. It's really really sweet. =) =) Im sure it'll make your day as it made mine. :D Enjoy!!
