♥ Unforgiven ♥

My Revelation Today :
"You don't need faith for what you can see. You need faith for what you can't see"

Am I forgiven for not updating my blog for ages? * innocently teary eyes asking for forgiveness that makes your heart melts * Throughout the dissapearance or should I say hibernation from the blogsphere....I've undergone a new transformation!!! I've so called "tame" my wonderfully glorious lion-king hair, without first having in mind what style to cut, but courageously went to the saloon with Cyril, and TA-Dah!!!!

AFTER






What do you think?? *Happy*!

So, as you all have already know, yesterday was an Easter Sunday and our City Harvest Outreach JB has marked an Attendance of 472 people with 3 Easter Service on Wed, Sat and Sunday!!!! *thunderous applause*!!! Everyone's hardwork for 3 days of celebrations paid off!! God was indeed real and good, and the best thing was, I've stretched myself in fully serving on Wed, Sat and Sun singing, while Cyril on the electric guitar consecutively!! I'm truly thankful for the strength that God has grant me, and for the "voice" that He has blessed me with! I nearly lost my voice...finally, I can take sambal today...no more "pantang"...;) *happy!*

Above all the goodness that God has done, I've done 2 miserable things that nearly caused me not once, but twice heart-attack!!

I was incharge of cooking dinner today since my housemate is down with fever. She taught me how to cook nasi lemak....verbally so quick that I tried my best to remember in that 1 minute of briefing and then she head to her room to rest....with me with my spatula....starts to cook in the kitchen! Well, I love cutting, chopping, slicing....but just hate cooking......so, I trust myself this time ...........Everythings turns out to be fine and dinner was ready just in time! :) After cooking, I'm proudly sms-ed Dearie that I've cook nasi lemak which has shock him with a reply....

"Ha? U cook nasi lemak?Haha.....where you learn one" ;)

I was the earliest to take my dinner since my other housemates were not back from work yet. So, I ate the sambal with the nasi santan and it taste weird! i didnt know what was wrong but it's shockingly consist of ONE DISTINCT TASTE!!! It's so SALTY!! Hence, I went and check the container which I "thought" was sugar and and and and....................... it's actually.........SALT!! Guess what, instead of putting 4 tablespoons of sugar into the Sambal, I've MISTAKENLY put 4 tablespoon of salt!....I quickly re-heat the sambal and added around 6 tablespoons of sugar.....*dissapointed* but no doubt that the sambal is taste a little salty......If I were to tell Cyril this, he'll surely laugh his head off.... :S

For the other miserable one......stay tune for my next post....;( Sorry, I've got to get ready...I'm going off for badminton, need to sweat it out babe!! ;)

♥ My Leader Adrian ♥

Revelation :
"Reaching the place where you can be happy for other people who are blessed will lead you into God's blessings for you."

Who is Adrian; some may ask....and nope, he's not my boyfriend or crush or whatever that you may say....He's happily with Mei Ching :) and marriage will not come to my mind until Adrian and Meiching does it :p So why am I posting about him....read on...

Anyway, as many would already know...Adrian is my cell group leader, my disciple, my brother in Christ. I've been under his "ruling" over the past 2-3 years and yes, he is the main person that I go to whenever I faced any problems...well, yeah...I even consulted him whether I should quit my job etc...that's how "influential" he is to me..haha....So, presenting.....Adrian........


Haha...yep, this is Adrian...:) Posing with poor mailto:%5E@%5E tongue.

We used to hang out alot last time, and I was blessed to be able to travel with him to Taiwan. Gosh, Adrian is as playful as I am.....in our 5 hours journey to taiwan, we both basically drank white & red wine with peanuts watching almost 5 movies back-to-back on board. Sarah and Greg were falling asleep by then, but the hyperactive "kid" like us were so excited and could hardly close our eyes...We were so naughty that we even took pictures of people drooling while sleeping on board....*pictures will not be published* and I remember Adrian telling me this

"When we step down in Taiwan, let's not talk about work. Let's have fun!" :D








We went to the famous "Cold Stones" to have a break with Ps. CK..





And posed infront of the main door. There were many onlookers that mistaken us as Hong Kong-ese....We dont really care, we posed-we snap, we posed-we snap again!




Adrian has a huge appetite and it does benefited him in a way or two....whenever me and Sarah could not finish our food, we have our personal "garbage cleaner"..haha...but the food was expensive so why waste? :)




Us at the famous beef noodles stall in Taipei....had a scrumptious meal once we landed....So blessed!



Told ya, we are crazy and we are a bunch of camera poser! We are all actors and actress....as in we all acted in drama before :)


And our precious once in a lifetime pic with Ps Kong Hee :) Adrian and Ps Kong are almost the same height!



And not forgetting, Ps. CK :)



The entire trip was fun as we get to travel together and hang out with each other unlike before...It was a last minute trip for me and hence, I do not have any "Yuan" with me....Thank God I have them :) And thank God for Adrian's Roaming line, I could drop an sms to mum about my whereabouts....


All in all, Adrian is one great leader that I do look up to. I knew that God has placed such a great leader above me for a reason at such that who am I today is greatly because of his guidance and discipleship :) Although I have make mistakes after mistakes, but he has certainly will be the one reminding me that "Let Bygone be Bygone"....and truly enough, I have yet emerge once again....



This post is dedicated to Adrian....Do uphold him unto your prayer as he is down with fever since Sunday *suspected denggi*. Do hope that he will recover soon and may God grant him with a good health once again. Thanks Adrian for all that you've done for me...and for Me&Cyril as well :) We love ya!
Updates : Adrian was admitted to the hospital and is currently under the NaCl drip. His platelet level went down to 120, way beyond the optimum level (150-200).... He'll be undergoing a blood test. Do keep in prayer....:)

♥ Glutton ♥

Revelation :
"Be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold."

I am craving for something sweet.........While I was in Jusco just now, I went from one section to another section to search for something to "quench" my "thirst for sweetness".....I was distracted and wanted to buy more and more. Ended up, I got myself an Oreo. Whereas I wanted Sneakers, Cheese Junk, Cadbury chocolate bar, kit-kat, milo before that. Thank goodness that i have a "wise" shopper Cyril that keep pulling me away from Junks.
I had an "Oreo CheeseCake" in the afternoon....and it does nothing but to make me crave for more till now....


However, at time like this, I'm craving for J-Co Donuts....instead.....
I'm beginning to indulge myself in reading. Currently I'm reading Joyce Meyer's "Seven Things That Steal Your Joy" and I hope to finish up this book as soon as I can :) *keep my fingers crossed* Sis is going to Bandung this coming Sunday......I wish I could tag along. Jie, if you are reading this, Please DO FEEL BAD about not able to bring me along :p !!! Buy me more nice clotheS, dressES, sunglassES, accessorIES and and and thingS (Please keep an eye on the Ssssss-it's plural) that I could wear when I'm on-stage!! I've given away most of my clothes for some Buddhist charity collection while my shoes were stolen (If u did follow up on my blog since ages ago) and i have so few (and I mean really few) nice clothes...Gosh, little things such as this could really frustrates me. Probably that is why I need this book even more.
Well, I'm such a glutton these days (I know, Gluttony is a sin). I ate a whole plate of mee and sandwiches as soon as I got down from stage this morning. Some people were shocked with the portions that I took. My food portion does not equivalent to my body size. Man, what happen to me? I guess I'm tired, that's all....I'm stressed out? Well, not really.....I'm pregnant? *siao ah*!!!
I need to sweat it out....I cant wait for another round of badminton tomorrow. Ok, it's time for me to "ta-ta"...wanna do some reading before I'm off to slumberland :)
See ya! God Bless!

♥ because of it ♥



I was typing an entree last night, a long inspiring post when all of a sudden, something distracted me by its fast cheeky movement around me.....a huge cockroach I'm shocked! If I have a pair of wings, I would have fly way above the clouds due to the "instant heart-attack" that the roach gave me. Well, not that it kacau me or what...but I had and will always have the constant fear, phobia, afraid or whatever terms you named it....towards cockroach! I'm sorry, I knew that I shouldn't discriminate little insects but due to it's (should i use this word) disgusting and geli features knowing that it also "comsume" rubbish (which I just knew from Cyril last night), I could not help but to destroy "literally ok?* it.





My heart was beating as "fast & furious* (what a term) , and was looking sharply at the cockroach, just to make sure that it will not hide in my room. Well, basically I was thinking what to do next in order to "sssshhhhoooooo" (aka halau) it from my room. At that point of time, I wish I have this supernatural power whereby I could just stare at the roach and it'll dissapear....Well, all in all, I left with 3 options...since I dont have "that" supernatural power...





1. To wake my entire housemates to help me to *ssshhhhoooooo* the roach away...





2. To call Cyril and shout my lungs out to him (as if that will help to *ssshhhhhooooo* the roach)..





3. To summoned up my "own" courage and *sssshhhhooooo* it away...





I was not given much choice but to pick the 3rd option. Me, Myself and I got to do the "job". However, I have to make sure that the "poor little roach" (which now I think that it is quite kesian) will not "escape". Out of my expectation, the roach suddenly tiptoe slowly walking to another corner for a new hideout. Well, Cyril laugh at me when I told him that the roach actually tip-toe...but yes, it did!!!!

Anyway, that roach was afraid too...I think it had the exact feeling as me, the "fast & furious" beating heart. So....to cut the story short, since I'm quite a timid person when comes to killing insects "ants and spider are exempted" I (like what I've planned before this) *ssssssshhhhhhhooooooooo* it away from my room BY MYSELF *wink* :)

It leaves my room but it does not leave my house...I think! According to proffesor Cyril, the roach will be at a place where there's contant supply of food....well, my house match that condition *OH NO!!!*....

Well, the roach does make me busy for around 20 minutes, then I return to my post that I was typing before the killing attempt. And after typing my post, I went ahead to click "Publish Post" only to realised that a black page appeared! and when I undo/return to the previous page, I have an empty post AGAIN! Well, it slipped my mind that I've disconnected the internet accidentally when the roach was in my room......Huhu...how sad....

Now, I dont really know when will i have the overflowing inspiration to rewrite my last night post....well, let us keep our fingers crossed then...*sigh*

* I wish the roach is as cute as the picture above*

The Voice of Truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
To the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. 'Boy, you'll never win!'"
You'll never win"

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
And the voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what i would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a Sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again "boy, you'll never win!"
You'll never win"

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me
