Hmm.. so many things going on..

Of piano class.

Its just HARD to give thanks for stuff we dont like, agreed? Its hard for me to give thanks.. for piano classes. Bleh. i felt so retarded playing scales today.. ergh.. play until my eyes wanna drop out ady. Worse still is.. i have three piano classes this week!! monday, wednesday, friday. dielah. But something made me smile (i'm sometimes in a 'not so good' mood after piano class..) in the car.. something suddenly popped out in my mind which made me smile instantly:

"Supplies!!!"
=D

HAhAHhahHAhah!!!!!
*if you dont understand, nevemind.. =) if you understand.. er.. good for you.. haha..

One more other thing made me smile too.. yoshua is back!!!!!!!!! =) =) =)

Of aching back.
My back muscles are aching like crazy.. oklah.. maybe that was exaggerating.. but its aching!! Must have been the exercise yesterday? I dont know..

Of quiet time.
Am reading 1 Samuel.. and still so inspired by david though i heard his story so many times already..

David said to the Philistine,"You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will hand you over to me, and i'll strike you down and cut of your head. Today I will give you the carcasses of the Phlistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give all of you into our hands."
1 Samuel 17:45-48

Can you imagine how much faith it took for him to say that? David was a small shepard boy, a nobody, someone so much much much smaller than goliath.. yet he could say that because of how much faith he had in God. It just amazes me so MUCH. That, is what i called a child-like-faith. A faith that believes so much in the impossible. I am just so amazed.

And i have a question.. there are a few parts in 1 Samule that says that an evil spirit from the Lord came upon king saul.. why does an evil spirit come from God? Doesnt it come from the devil? How can an evil spirit come from God, when God is like.. holy? Holy and evil cant go together right? *ok... that was more than a question.. haha..

Of backdrop.
Dont think i go to school everyday for nothing and sit there waiting for puppies to fall from the sky or something like that ok.. haha.. i go and help to do stuff for the backdrop.. wah.. scared no time.. hope everything turns out alright.. =S

Everyday need to climb that tall chair (the one which badminton 'referees' normally sit..).. scary lah.. what if i fall down and break my legs? Hahaha.. but everyday climb that chair also good lah.. train my 'keberanian'. Haha. Nonsense lah.. =P

Of geramness.
My neighbours dogs always give birth to puppies!! The puppy supply is like, never-ending. The geramness.. haha.. so cute leh the puppies!!!

Of tight, full schedule this week.
YES. Monday till sunday also got stuff. Its gonna be a looooooooooonnngggg hectic week. *Lord, help me to draw strength from you. =)

uncertainties of life..

Pastor Chong of Herald church just passed away last night.. it was very very sudden.. it was an acccident near some air hitam toll i was told.. everyone was like so shocked..

what?! what?! really ar?!

I questioned.. Why him?

This incident just reminded me of the thousands and thousands and millions of uncertainties in life.. we will never know what will happen in the next few seconds, minutes, hours, days etc... And it also made me fear death even more.. the thoughts of losing my loved ones alone are enough to make me cry.. and those are mere thoughts.. WHAT IF it really happens? WHAT IF one day i get a phone call and the caller tells me that so-and-so died? WHAT IF? WHAT IF? WHAT IF? The 'what if's of life are just uncountable-y uncountable.

BUT, there is always some one who is bigger than all these 'what-if's.. someone who has already conquered death long long ago.. there is always HIM, the Author of life.. God said that he has promised us plans to give us a hope and a future.. He holds our future in his hands.. Yes.. its hard to trust God (including me..) that he will take care of each and every person around us.. our friends, family, or just simply anyone at all.. that He will protect them.. and even if things like these (accidents and such..) happen.. i believe they all happen for a reason.. we may not know what.. or we may not even need to know what.. God allowed it to happen and he's got a reason.. and thats enough for us to know..

In these type of situations.. its hard to say Blessed Be Your Name.. Its hard to say GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME!!!! But.. i believe His greatness is never changing.. his goodness is eternal.

*Lord.. thank you for your everlasting goodness.. your everlasting faithfulness.. even in times of grief, Father i pray that you will comfort ps. chong's family.. Lord, help me also, to learn how to trust in you, ALWAYS.

Love

Ok.. this may be a long post.. but i didn't write it.. haha.. got it off someone elses blog.. i dont know who this person is also lah.. anyway.. i thought it was a really heart-warming post.. it really made me smile.. so, enjoy.. =)

**********************************************

Love-- as Defined by Children
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca- age 8


When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"
Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7


"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age
6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine-age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 7


"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."
Karen - age 7

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
Jessica - age 8

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.

The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,

"Nothing, I just helped him cry"

When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need.

i hate holidays..

Ok.. after 6 days of so-called rest.. in other words.. holidays.. i have a conclusion..:

i prefer schooling days than holidays..

Holidays just give me too much time.. and i become so lazy like a pig(or like that cat in the pic.. haha.. ).. argh.. yes.. i still have a list of things to do on my table.. and not all the things on the list have been done.. but still? I procrastinate.. 'aiyah, nevermind lah.. do it tommorow....' or 'do it later'... knowing that 'tommorow' or 'later' will go on and on and on until the dateline is so near.. i start to panick and finish of that 'thing-to-do' simply-ly.. i think i work better under a limited time.. limited space.. haha.. haih...

*But who knows when schooling days come.. i will blog on how i prefer holidays than schooling days.. haha.. and btw.. chien wei has a new blog!! =D

I love running.. it's just so relaxing.. hearing the sound of rhythmic footsteps.. *thud thud thud thud...* ... and sweat rolling down the forehead.. giving a little tickle.. and than there's the sound of breathing... and after finishing the run.. the feeling of acomplishment.. wow.. xD


I just came back from a run with one of my closest classmate.. but unfortunately it was only a short run.. because it started to rain a little.. though short.. still.. i am grateful.. thank you, dear Father, for the ability to run.. =)

I tell you.. when you're going through some troubles in life.. and everything in your mind is like so messy.. not sorted out.. RUN.. it will help alot.. at least for me.. it will help.. try it.. =)

pmr over!!!

i t i s f i n i s h e d .


YAaaAAaAyYYYyyyYy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


"Can throw your books already loh..

Well.. that's what most people say..

So.. since i have more free time now.. or rather, if put in another way.. have more time to blog.. (hehe).. i will tell you all my experiences during pmr.. my first and last Penilaian Menengah Rendah in my entire life..



1st of october to 5th of october - PMR
A time where students all over Malaysia fret and worry, study and pluck their hair out, get frustrated and stressed.. these five days were also party time for pimples.. who flourished all over the form 3 student's poor forehead (including mine!!!).. also.. it was time where millions and millions of brain cells DIE
... so now let us observe a moment of silence for these brain cells.. who died selflessly to enable the students to memorize and study..


(observing a moment of silence for the deceased..)
............................................................................

These five days were days where i used the most liquid paper in my entire life (serious!! not exaggerating..).. and were days where form 3's werent banned from using or bringing liquid paper too.. haha.. and everyday we would hear the same thing again and again and again.. "Calon-calon, sila semak angka giliran, nomber kad pengenalan, mata pelajaran, dan kod mata pelajaran anda. Mata pelajaran untuk hari ini ialah......" .. And oh yah!! Our ketua pengawas peperiksaan was encik megat!!

Ok.. enough of crappy stuff.. erm.. though it was only five days( it may seem short to others.. but not to us form 3's ok!! =P ).. much much perseverance, time management and discipline was needed.. and the most important was to trust in Him that 'I can do everything through Him who gives me strength'... and to continue doing our 'simple daily chores'.. EVENTHOUGH if that meant less time for me to study, compared to the other classmates.. Yes, i admit.. it was tough to commit this whole exam in to His hands.. especially on saturday and sunday (2 days before pmr..).. i just wanted to take this exam for myself and do it my way.. but at last i think i managed to trust in Him and just let go... to step into the exam hall.. praying. not worrying.

One big thing i learnt / was reminded of was that God is the ultimate power source.. spend time with him.. and you will 'run but not grow weary'.. yay!! =) Was amazed by God's faithfulness throughout the week..

And ya... i didnt study 24/7 everyday ok.. i also needed to destress.. so i played my bass!! With my sis on the piano.. it was just awesome.. and 'peace-giving' in a way.. and that made me miss playing for church and yf.. and band practice!!!!!!!!!!

Also.. thank you all for praying.. for the sms'es and little notes and letter.. for the little encouragements of 'all the best ah!' or 'jia you ah!'.. for the phonecalls (before, during and after).. and for the emails.. they really meant alot and were very encouraging.. most importantly.. thank you, my Heavenly Father.. for giving me the strength and perseverance throughout the week, courage to let go and your incredible faithfulness...

So.. what are we going to do in school after pmr? Well.. teacher asked us to bring our nilam book (huh?).. bring then bring loh.. we will be doing 'aktiviti berfaedah' also.. according to the letter, that is.. anyways.. i have some plans of my own too.. hehe.. one major plan is to read.. yes.. joy decided to read.. look up! The sky may be falling.. haha.. and to run run run!!! Yay!! =D And many other stuffs lah..

So.. to the form 3's.. enjoy your freedom while you can!! Heeeee.... =).. to the form 4's .. jia you!! Few more weeks and your year end exam will be over.. to the form 5's.. persevere and persevere somemore.. =D
