A Father's Love

Saw this video during Couz meeting
Was so touched and inspired by the father and son
Rick & Dick Hoyts
i almost cried....
but had to tahan la...or my eyeliner n mascara will go streaming down my cheeks...
This video reminds me of our Father In Heaven
who loves us unconditionally
no matter who we are
where we come from
what we go thru in life
whether we're crippled with problems dat we choose to go our own ways
or the many times we're so preoccupied with our work dat we even forgot bout Him
In spite of all this,
He stays still and continue to support us from behind
just in case when we fall
He's always there to catch us
Awesome God!!!

We got to know dis crazy bunch of guys
2 years ago thru a youth leadership course in Penang
which ended with a mission trip to Sabah(their hometown)


We, the penang gals, used to be their 'drivers' when they were in penang
and they wud sing their hearts out
and they're real good posers....
hehehe.....


Last nite, we met up at Murni's
and yeah, we had a great time of laughter
just like 2 years ago
still de same old Alvin, Vector, Calvin and David.....
some things just don't change...
hmmm sweet memories...




Sabahans seem to have same style-their hairstyle,fashion sense, style of talking

Becoming Jane

After church, as usual we wud hang out
dis time instead of going to the cinema
we decided to buy a dvd and watch it at shealin's place



Becoming Jane was the movie...
it was very much de autobiography of de famous author Jane Austen
this movie spoke of how Jane fell in love to Tom
Just like in any typical romantic dramas, they went thru obstacles such as family objection, misunderstandings, arranged marriage etc

There was a time when Tom wanted to give up on their relationship
due to his uncle's disapproval as he was dependent on his uncle to fund his education
furthermore, Jane's family wanted to marry her to a rich man to help Jane's father who's financially in need
So the heart-broken Jane said goodbye and left for her hometown, Hampshire
You must be tinking wat a SISSY Tom is....cant even protect the woman he love..


Ofcoz,as expected, he couldn't forget her and went to look for her at Hampshire
what do u tink happen next??
Yup!! they decided to run away..hehe...i know...
And they lived happily ever after....

WRONG!!

She knew that its not possible for them to be happy
with all de guilt, regret and blame dat they hav to carry all their lives

she knew this burden will cause their love to degrade sooner or later
Ironically, she left Tom
and live the rest of her life on pen...

Now you must be tinking wat a silly gal she is to give up on them
after wat he had sacrificed for her....
oh well, I tink she's a very brave lady to make such a decision

btw, she was not married until her last breath...
Tom ,on the other hand, got married and named his first daughter Jane
Now who's the faithful one?? tell me.....

Moral of the story:
It is OK to be single like Jane n still survive...

(touch wood)

First Day at HUKM

i'm feeling soooooo tired...
my feet hurts so much...
My first posting is at the Out-Patient Department
I din expect much from my first day at work...
i tot that the only thing i'll do for de day wud be just observation...
I was so so wrong...
After a short briefing, they threw me a prescription slip right away
and i had to get to work...
felt so blur, i kept asking around for directions...
Managed to settle de first prescription slip and pass to the dispenser...
phewwww.....
i then continued with the next slip...
while i was struggling with dat slip, de dispenser called my name
oh no, i knew sth was wrong....
I labelled one of the drug wrongly....
ahhhhh....i almost poisoned one patient....
well, at least he din scold me....first day only ma....
For a list of 10 drugs, I spent at least double or triple the time taken by my colleagues to fill
Now u know why sometimes ppl hav to wait for so long at the pharmacy...
its bcos of ppl like me!!!
and a few times, de dispenser had to come rushing me...
malunya.....
What a day!!!

22


just a few days ago i officially turned 22

yes 22!!!

TWENTY TWO

DUA PULUH DUA

DOUBLE TWO

TWO-TWO!!!!


one year ago, i was so excited dat i was finally entering the so-called world of adulthood
though still trapped in a young girl's body la
i was excited to see wat was in store for me as a 21 year old lady
so much to explore
so much to learn

yes there were so many ups and downs....
some of which were so sweet....
and still remain so...
some turned ugly...
and i wish i can erase all of those from my cerebrum
BUT then again, everything happens for a reason
and i'm so glad dat i am who i am today...


Now dat i'm already 22,
i'm beginning to feel a lil scared...
asking myself lots of questions bout life
like wat am i going to do now??
will my prince charming ever come?? lol

haha
Now back to serious mode,
i tink this is de start where for most things i shud already be able to decide on my own
not depending on my parents as much anymore
like de kind of life dat i wanna live
de purpose of my life
it's funny dat i'm now tinking bout all dis questions rite??
i guess when ppl starts to get old, they start to tink bout all dis...
hehe

for this coming year, i wanna live my life with purpose...
i wanna make a difference in ppl's life
i wan ppl to look at me and say " u make me smile"
i wan ppl to say " oh she's such an encouragement"
i see dat a lot in the ppl around me....
n i feel so blessed!

But how am i going to be a blessing to others?

God, please Use me and Teach me how....
