Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) Lyrics
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine



But the Lord Jesus says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

On the 2nd day of Christmas
My True Love blesses me
A Song of love
That sings of His Amazing Grace
(my version, haha)


Indeed, God's grace is like rain. And it never stops falling upon us in every aspect of life.

This year.. I was consumed by grief over my family, yet this Christmas reminded of His Love, His grace, His faithfulness, His sovereignty... all I need to do is to exercise my faith, to trust Him more..

A room to celebrate the Father's great love for me...

Thank You Lord Jesus. To Thee be all glory given! Hallelujah!

Penang!

Hey, I m back in jiaplace. Hehe, wanna blog about my trip to Penang, 5-7 Dec. Really thanx a lot to Rachel, Adrian, Olivia and Ai Wei for having us in Penang, bringing us around to places with nice scenery, good food.. etc etc. Yo, you guys rockz man!
These pics are from Olivia. But dunno why they are not very clear when I put them up in my blog, but nvm la.We still have a lot more SS photos in Rachel digicam coz we have our SS queen -- Adele =P

Adrian did this SS Queen thingy for Adele when we were at the beach.

PKVians in Penang!


We stayed in Rachel's house in Balik Pulau. Wahliao, the road to her house is quite winding. The sun was so hot (as if la it has not been so). I memang cannot tahan and daytime was terrible for me, I puked twice. Argh..

Kek Lok Si.
We went to Air Itam Damp before we went to Kek Lok Si.

Rachel, Olivia, Adele n me. Plus Adrian and Chef sebagai hiasan.

Our Mr. President. Last minute saje we asked him whether he would like to join us for the Penang trip. Initially only me n adele saje.. then on Monday 4/12, in that one hour in Kopitiam, Ipoh Parade we started to call people and asked them to join us. Spontaneous enough?



Penang Hill!
I tell you, going up the hill is a torture. Hehe..

Me posing with the SS queen.


Well, Rachel was very bangga with the inai thingy on her left hand and hence all of us posed in such a way to 'show off' our left hand. Haha..


Can you see, itz Rachel's left hand again.


Yours truly. =P


Alright, our left hand.


??

Tanjung Bungah Beach!

We had a ceremony to officially start our Pretty Sisters Fellowship in PKV. An idea curi-ed from Neriton 06'. As long as u r a sister from PKVUM, you are most welcome to join us!


Cheffrost, me, adele n ai wei. YOu see, adele is posing again...


JUmp!! Adrian.. argh..






Yo.. pretty sisters! Adrian helped us a bit to make this lovely pretty sistaz thingy. Hmm, he is one of the 'sisters', knows as Adriana. Hahaha..


Aha!


We were at the beach for a few hours. When light turned to darkness, we had quality time... awww... star gazing, cloud gazing.. We are a bunch of creative people and the clouds.. aha, all kinds of 'animals', 'cartoon characters'.. etc. We sang songs, all kinds of songs la. And itz was super fun!


This is my first lying down on the beach.. enjoying the breeze, listening to the sound of the waves beating against the shore. Wahliao.. it was a cekap quality time with the rest of them.

Hmmm.. wanna thank this bunch of people for making my holidays more colourful!

Well.. I have been blogging here for the past few months.

Ermm.. I have decided to stay away from jiaplace for a period of time.. to keep u guys in suspense.. cheh!

Neh... just got a bit tired of blogging.. Hmm, I wonder how true is this statement, but nvm.

Hmm, Thanx for dropping by and thanx for all the comments you guys left on jiaplace.

Bubye!!!

I m too free....

Slow and Steady

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment. They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.

How Do People See

Your Brain is 73% Female, 27% Male

Your brain leans femaleYou think with your heart, not your headSweet and considerate, you are a giverBut you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

You Are 24% Intuitive

You're definitely an intuitive person, but you never go on your gut alone.You tend to be more analytical than intuitive - possibly because your intuition has failed you in the past.When you don't have enough facts to make a decision, you don't mind listening to your gut to figure out what to do.

How Intuitive Are You?

You Should Try Bungee Jumping

Can you take the plunge?The true test of an extreme sports junkie!

What Extreme Sport Should You Try?

You Should Drive a Lamborghini

A true daredevil, you're always in search of a new rush. Clearly, you're a total speed demon... just don't get caught!

What Sports Car Should You Drive?

Your Social Anxiety Level: 28%

You have low social anxiety.Of course very unfamiliar or strange situations make you uncomfortable.But you can pull through and handle almost any social occasion with grace.

Are You Socially Anxious?

Haha.. a bit tooooooo frreeeeee... tried out some stupid tests. =p The most cekap of all, is the Lamborghini thingy.. gosh... how nice if I can test drive.. test drive saje you know.. no need to have the car la. =)

Got to go before the internet credit strikes '0'.. aww..

Stupid tests

Your Dominant Intelligence is Spatial Intelligence

You've got a good sense of space and how the world around you looks. You can close your eyes and "see" images. You have innate artistic talent. An eye for color and shapes, you're also a natural designer. Since you think in pictures, visual aids and demonstartions help you learn best. You would make a good navigator, sculptor, visual artist, inventor, architect, interior designer, or engineer.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

You Are 8% Girly

Um... you're a guy, right? If not, you're the most boyish girl in the world.And for you, that's probably the ultimate compliment.

How Girly Are You?

What is this la? According to Mendel's Law of Segregation and law of Independent Assortment, and according to the result of fertilisation between a sperm and an ovum.. a zygote is form. And in the 5th week of embroyic development, the germ cells will migrate to form female gonad. From there, oogonial clusters are formed.. And at the 3rd month, the primary oogonia will undergo meiosis to .... yada yada... so the conclusion is, how girly I am in the test doesn't represent me at all! I shall repeat the word -- "AT ALL"!

Finally!

After raining bullets and missiles for 5 days.. After 5 days of blood shedding... After 5 days of crying for help non stop..

... I am proud to declare...

I am

... !!!!!!
... !!!!!!

Finally, I had my final victory over the great stupid monster called EXAM! Yay! (well, the picture shows you.. haha.. that.. I am such a narcissist.. now you can see how much I love myself.. ahahahaha..)

You see, I have to pamper myself a bit la, since I have just came out from the 5 day battle. Although I suffered a kinda serious injuries in the first day of my battle, but after that.. hmm, you see, my God is a God who heals la. So, it was ok la. The Monster Psycho wasnt a very scary monster after all.

You all must be wondering "what about the Monster Calculus 2"? Well, it wasn't very bad la. More merciful than the stupid monster named Probability. That one ar, my weapon to fight against it was INTUITION. The paper was crap la! I had to go by intuition. As long as I 'felt' that itz the right way to answer, then I just wrote la.. awww..

Well, I wouldn't call Cytogenetics and Genome Organisation a monster because he is my friend! I sat for the paper this morning. Haha, past year questions pulak -- asked about B chromosomes, some stuff on gene amplification, and some stuff on the effect of nuclear DNA content on the duration of cell cycle. Well seriously, it is a very interesting subject to study. There's quite a lot of things to understand besides memorising them but I seriously don't mind memorising all those terms and funny funny names la.. etc. So, it wasn't really a battle. Hmm, a QnA session with a friend, perhaps?

Well, I really wanna thank those who have been fighting alongside with me, supporting me thru their prayers!! Thank you friends! And above all, I wanna thank my Daddy for seeing me thru another semester. HAha... praise the Lord!

And... hmm, finally I mustered my courage to see my 'friend'. Hmm, I'm having some problem la. Kinda frightening when it is happening almost every morning. Well, I pray it will be ok la. I will have to see my 'friend' again if the problem persists after another two weeks. So now, I have another 'bodyguard' that I have to bring along - Rhinocort Aqua.



So..

How?

Spray la.

Hehe...

So now what?

Stuck in PJ la. I have to prepare for CTR which is exactly 10 days later. =p

Yay... I m super happy now.. hahahaha...

Battles.. got killed?

This week is a terrible week.. with tonnes of notes to read.. tonnes of maths questions to solve.. The crazyness is beyond description.



Yesterday I had my first battle.. a severe defeat by the 2 stupid monsters called Pentaksiran dalam Pendidikan and Matematik Asas. I tried to defend la, but their attacks were to strong for me to tahan.. Sparks here and there. Wah liao.. I didn't even have the chance to counter attack.



Well.. The Pentaksiran paper, although it was all objective questions, 60 questions in 2 hours.. it was crazily confusing. Haha, due to tembaking and tikaming quite a number of questions, I managed to finish it in about an hour. And I terkorban dalam perjuanganku, killed by bullets coming in the form of A, B, C and D. Sigh, dun have a cekap bullet-proof shield..

In the afternoon, I had Matematik Asas which doesn't seem 'asas' afterall. 3 questions in one and a half hour, part A(2 questions, choose 1) and B(finish all 2). I chose the wrong question in the very beginning, and SHUCKS! I got stuck half way of that stupid question. Last 15 minutes attempted another question. The questions in Part B.. haih.. Again, the battle was terrible.. asyik defend saje.. some parts of it, just surrender saje la..

That's why.. white flags here and there in the first day of my 5-day battle.

And I miraculously resurrected so that I can die again in the coming battles.. Well, isn't this called exam?

And the effect of exam - dead brain cells, less hair on my head, more crappy, more lame..

And due to this thing called Teori Pelaziman Klasik, the fear towards my calculus 2 and Probabilty paper arises -- gerak balas terlazim (conditioned response).

Later have to sit for Psycho dalam Pendidikan paper. Hope I can crap a bit.. so that it wont be so teruk..

Seriously.. I m super worried over my calculus 2 and probability after sitting for maths asas. But itz a bit too late to do anything..



Psycho and cal2 and probability : Attack! kill her, kill her! Dun let her to have any chance to counter attack.. hahaha.. die leh?

Me: I m so dead now..

Cytogenetics: get up and attack them. You are genetically ok, you can do it.. less brain cells and less hair.. nevermind.. everything is already pre-wired in your chromosomes.

Me: .... ??

Haih.. whatever la.. want to give up but my intrinsic motivation beh tahan, keep telling me 'cannot give up!!'..

Der..

Talk....... please talk......

Stop it!!!!!!

Can't you two just stop it!?? I had enough of all these nonsense.. It wasn't like this last time..

Since when did it turn out like that?

Why does it have to be like that?

Why can't you two talk nicely, talk properly with each other?

I am suffering.. we are suffering from what is happening to both of you. Can't you see that?

To be honest, I hate it...

I keep quiet doesn't mean I dun care..!!

Dark clouds.. when is the rain?

Gloomy.....

Well...
Hmm.. so susah payah to load the page due to the connection problem in my place. Finally able to get the page but now I dunno what to type..

Once again.. there's a lot of things on my mind.. Guess what, I am feeling almost the same as how I felt during the time before I went for campcam. That kind of stress, that kind of frustration, that kind of 'a-lot-of-things-on-my-mind' feeling, that kind of 'tiredness', that kind of brokenness.. I seriously hated them..

Although I was able to study(not a lot, but still thank God for that).. Once in a while, I would feel kinda disturbed by things that are going on.. I tried not to think about them, but itz just so tough.. I hate it!!

Itz November.. December is coming soon.. then it will be the end of 2006. Time flies.. Looking forward to 2007, wonder what is ahead of me. Thinking too much and too far. No good. All the 'what if-s' are playing tricks with my mind.. Duh, I m living to the name-crazy jia.

Runaway.. how la to runaway.. suddenly the need of finding my fortress of solitude arises again..

'Rain'.. the 'clouds' are getting darker n darker over here. When is it going to 'rain'...? Perhaps I should get ready an umbrella.. Who will walk with me thru my 'rain' and 'sunshine'?

Why la I missed out that SOmeone? My Heavenly Father.. I know HE will walk me thru.. I know..

Maths Atheist???

Haha.. thanx for the mail! =P

Hmm... trying to relax.. or am I relaxing a bit too much...? =P

Things that are on my mind now..

1. I have not been meeting my quota (i mean my blog) lately.. That's the first quota.
   
2. Second quota, I failed to meet my quota like what I did last sem -- more than 10 hours once I 'got into action'. Well, just forget about meeting it! Perhaps I should try doing it next sem.. hope itz not too late.
   
3. Having some slight stupid depression.. kinda blue..
   
4. Hmm, partly because of the stupid exam which is going to start on 8th Nov and I still haven't finish stuyding any of the 6 subjects.. 'Perish'..
5. Facing some stupid problems.. 'Perish'..
   
6. Winter Sonata.. stupid drama, but still I watch it... haih...
   
7. Leehom's song - Ai chuo(wrong love).. Itz NOT a stupid song. Itz on my mind, have been looping it for more than 90 times since last wednesday.. reaching 100 now. Say I m crazy.. up to you.
8. Camp cam.. dunno why, suddenly the post camp syndrome reattacked. I have been thinking about campcam. I remembered the things I did with the rest of the nerinuts, our conversations, my discoveries.. I just missed the time up there. Good memories.
9. But... Why.. why do I always like to look back at my past and dwell in it so much?
10. Well, these few nights - some stupid funny dreams. Itz a pleasant ones, but.. too much la.. If this continues.. 'Perish'...
    

Still listening to Ai chuo..
Well, have enuf of thinking.. have to save some 'brain power' to do my calculus 2...

Meaningless..

Gosh....
...
...
2 weeks more...
...
...
Itz my holiday ~~~ yay ~~~ !!!

But.. first, I have to settle my greatest enemy.. EXAM.... aww....

Perhaps, I should say that EXAM is such a good friend of mind.. I'm compelled to study because of this friend.. I so so so 'happy' to study all the notes, be it the pentaksiran notes, or psychology notes, or maths asas tutorials, or probability tutorials, or calculus 2 tutorials.... Itz such a 'pleasant' thing to study them. They have brought me such great 'joy', even during classes.. haih, whatever..

Well, I missed out one.. the one n only subject that I like this sem(I mean I memang suka la) -- cytogenetics and organisation of genome. Tengok, namanya pun dah canggih-manggih.. apatah lagi benda-benda yang perlu saya belajar....

OOOooppss.. started to get a bit crappy..

Haih.. whatever la..

My Friend went missing...!! T_T

Have you seen her????


Tang Kuan Yee, 21 years old.

I think this is one of her recent photos.

I got the news of her went missing on friday morning. I wasn't sure about that until I read the newspaper..

I am lost for words..

I dunno what to say..

I m feeling terrible..

Pls pray for my friend, that they will be able to find her..

Pls pray...

Pls pray...

Pls pray...

Lord.. be merciful to my friend.. T_T

I don't know why..

I dunno why..

My heart was overwhelmed with sadness.. grief.. Something struck me.. I was thinking.. thinking.. and thinking..

I think God must be grieving.. the gift that He offered to mankind -- Salvation thru Jesus Christ, was being thrown aside and despised..
Imagine, your dad gave a gift, hoping that you will appreciate it, treasure it.. who knows, you received it, but with a 'one-kind' look and just threw it into the dustbin.. how would your dad feel?? You are rejecting your dad's gift.. and you are actually rejecting your dad and his love for you. That kind of pain that struck me when someone shared this illustration during camp cam.. it stayed in my heart.. God grieves..

I dunno why..

My heart was overwhelmed with sadness.. grief.. Something struck me.. and here I am.. thinking.. thinking.. and thinking..

I think many a times, we grieved our Dad.. we take for granted a lot of things.. many a times, we forgot what it means to follow Christ.. we call Jesus our Saviour.. and yet, we struggle like mad to allow Him to be the Lord of our lives..

One thing I learned, following Christ means you have no right to say what you want to do in your life. You wipe away all your goals -- goals that you used to have.. You have no more ambition of your own. "He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them." 2 Cor. 5:15. My Daddy really taught me lessons just on this one thing. Itz such a humbling experience that has broken me into pieces. Shattered. Crushed.

God sees our weaknesses.. how many times have we broken His heart.. and yet, He is still there, drawing us back to Him.. the thought of Him being so faithful challenged me to love Him more..


How deep the Father's Love for Us - this song reminds me how wide, how long, how high, and how deep Daddy's love is, although I may never fully understand it..

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turned His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
I was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds has paid my ransom...

MY SHOES!!!!!!!

Oh Lord.. have mercy on my pair of B.U.M. equipment shoes.. it misses its owner.. that is ME!!

The song that is on my mind now....

My BUMMY.. (My Boney)
Verse
My BUMMY lives outside of my room..
My BUMMY walks me to classes..
My BUMMY is so comfortable..
Oh, bring back my BUMMY to me..

Chorus
Bring back.. Oh bring back..
Oh bring back MY BUMMY to me... to me...
Bring back.. Oh bring back..
Oh bring back MY BUMMY to me..

Gosh.. realised my shoes are gone this morning when I was about to leave my room... shucks.. who is this fella who stole my shoes???!!!

Fella,
Why la u steal my BUMMY.. go n get one for urself la.. itz not expensive pun.. somemore it stinks (oops... I mean, it doesn't look very canggih-manggih). Please la return them to me.. please... =/

When The Tears Fall...

I've had questions, without answers
I've known sorrow, I have known pain
But there's one thing, that I'll cling to
You are faithful, Jesus You're true

When hope is lost, I'll call You Savior
When pain surrounds, I'll call You Healer
When silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart

In the lone hour of my sorrow
Through the darkest night of my soul
You surround me and sustain me
My Defender, forevermore

I will praise You, I will praise You
When the tears fall, still I will sing to You
I will praise You, Jesus praise You
Through the suffering still I will sing


This song.. one of the songs we sang during the WI concert.. Sth in the song that resonates with what I feel, what I am going thru'.

When my tears fall....
He felt every tear drop in darkness I cried....

Some thoughts..

My brain has been busy doing some thinking lately.(some of u might be thinking -- "really ar... ?").

A lot of things on my mind are waiting for me to process....

Item no. 1
I have always got what I want from my parents, compared to the rest of my siblings. Things like school trips when I was in primary school, some gadgets like my 'new found friend' and other stuff la.. as long as they feel that they can afford it.. Itz true, it does speak of sth.. sth from them towards me. Perhaps, I have been taking them and all these things for granted..

Item no. 2
That issue I m facing lately --- a decision to make...

Item no. 3
The smses from a friend --- I think itz a door for me to 'leaving my past behind'. I remembered what I shared with my 'family' when I was in CampCam -- 'close the old chapter...'
I thank God, for such a time to kind of like settle this problem.

Item no. 4
Why am I here? Why am I doing what I m doing? Itz not that I m confused or what. Itz just that I need to know what I m doing so that I wont lose focus.

Item no. 5
My studies.

Item no. 6, 7, 8,.........................., n
Dunno what else, but I feel that there are some stuff on my mind la, just that I haven't found out what are they.

Whatever those things are... the most important thing is to ... seek first the Kingdom of God....!!

Well, gtg for my cytogenetics class..

Wordilicious Investigators Day!

Hmm, a few of the nerinuts gathered at YMCA KL for WI -- Realnut, Purenut @ grandma Mozzie(well, anyhow they have to be there, hehe), lamenut, coconut @ sunat(ooopss... itz sunUt), papa lunutic, and mama jianut la.. Itz was such a great joy to meet suyen and sweekit. Tahulah, I m in KL, and both of them are up north sana.. so seldom that we get to meet each other.

Hmm, I met Ruth and Apostle Paul today, plus Naomi, Boaz... oh.. plus John the Baptist, Jonah, Nehemiah, .... funny-nya.

Indeed, God is awesome! This morning the haze was still there. But the haze cabut-ed.. and we had a clear blue sky today and we could enjoy the carnival to the max. =p .. haha.. Praise the Lord!!

There's one thing that spoke to me so strongly, besides 'to be serious with the studying of the Word of God'. When 'Apostle Paul' was speaking.. this verse kinda struck me.. "Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted."(Gal 6:1).

A reminder to me -- always check and INVESTIGATE my heart.. like what we read in Psalm 139:23-24(The Msg)

"Investigate my life, O God,
find out everything about me;
Cross-examine and test me,
get a clear picture of what I'm about;
See for yourself whether I've done anything wrong—
then guide me on the road to eternal life."

Well, I really enjoyed myself in WI, playing some pretty lame but Bible-related games.. haha..

Found this in the WI program sheet. Itz true..."we wish it would never end but..."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The end ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


SO.. the issue is back on my mind again. I use the word 'again' coz I wasn't thinking about it during WI.

By the end of WI.. it came back to my mind. I was thinking why does it has to be like that..

I m not angry.. I am just a bit perplexed la.. why does it has to be like that. What went wrong?

I m thinking about it.. can hardly help myself. I need to sort some things out, but now my mind is having another traffic jam.

Psalm 139:23-24. My prayer. Friends, dun care whether you know what's the problem, pls pray for me, that He will help me to see.. help me to discern.. that I will be humble and willing to listen n to learn from Him.. that I will be sensitive to the Spirit's leading.

Thanx a lot! = )

DAD, YOUR will? my will?

Show us the ancient paths
Lead us along eternal highways
We want to walk
In the ways of Jesus
We want to enter Your rest

Show us the ancient paths
Lead us along eternal highways
We want to follow
The footsteps of Jesus
We want to enter Your rest


This song really spoke to me..

I want to walk in His ways..

I want to follow His footsteps..

I want to enter His rest..


Read this from somewhere...
"God's purposes for our lives were established even before our conception. In Jeremiah 1:5, the prophet was told that God had drawn up his blue-prints long ago and set him aside for this predetermined purpose. This is the meaning of the words in 6:16 where it is written, "Thus says the Lord, 'Stand by the way and see and ask for the ANCIENT PATHS. Where the good way is, and you will find rest for your soul.'"
This is not some esoteric spiritual technique out of the past, that if we discover it, all our problems will be solved. The ancient paths are those which God intended for each of us since ancient times. The path is ancient in its inception, but current as every breath we take today. This is why Yeshua quotes part of that passage in Matthew 11:28-30. He proclaims that in coming to Him and taking on His yoke, we would find rest for our souls. Too often we carry burdens and walk down paths that are not ours. If He truly is our master, we can ask and trust that He will show us those ancient paths. "


Many a times, we find ourselves asking the question -- Is this God's will????

It kinda dawned to me that itz not so much about asking God to give me a clear answer as I seek His will. Itz not so much about asking God -- "Option A or B; Left or rigth; yada yada....".

I think as we seek His will, we humble ourselves and commit oursleves to Him. I think itz that kind of willingness of letting God to use you in accordance to His will that matters most to Him. The Obedience. The desire to please Him.

As we grow in our relationship with our Heavenly Father, we are able to see a bigger picture of His will for us, although itz not the whole picture yet. =P

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..
Prov 3:6

Well, gtg for cell group.. make lanterns wor..

Garfield~

Hahaha.. it never crossed my mind until last night when I was busy going my Psychology assignment which is due tmrow....

I was talking to myself... wow, my inner voice.. hahaha

"Hmm, I have never searched Garfield online..."

"Oh.. ya lor.. Why ar? I thought you are very semangat Garfield one"

"WEll, memang I very semangat Garfield. I have Garfield pillow that teman me tidur. I have Garfield t-shirt. I used to have a Garfield stationary set. I have a Garfield head at home, which I forgot to bring to PJ. I have Garfield glass... What else?"

"Wow.. I m so impressed, Jia."

"Hmm.. Garfield has been my cekap cat since I was in primary school.. till now.."

The conversation continued on my mind..

I shall stop here n proceed to my probability class.

The WOrd became flesh!

October 2
Ed Young Ministries Weekly Devotional

The Passion - Like Jesus
by Ed Young

The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. John 1:14

Whether they are traveling through a small farming town in Nebraska, a surfing village in California or an industrial community in Pennsylvania, politicians love to show how they can relate to the people in that area. But the sad thing is that they can't really meet those people on the same level; they can't identify with them no matter how hard they try to make it appear like they can.

Jesus, though, never gives us that illusion of identity. He doesn't throw up a facade to try and appear like he gets where we are coming from. Jesus Christ connected with the people of two thousand years ago, and he connects with you and me today on a level that we can understand and appreciate.

At one point we've all said, "No one understands my situation." But that statement could not be farther from the truth. Jesus understands; he's been there; he knows what we go through day in and day out. He had a job - for most of his life he was a carpenter. He had the same relationships that you and I have today - mother, father, brothers, sister, friends, and enemies. He even faced the same temptations that you and I face. Jesus knows what daily living is like. He knows because he's been there himself.

So this week, when you feel like there is no one that can grasp what you are going through; when you feel like throwing up your hands and giving up; when you have that gut reaction of, "No one understands my situation..." remember that our Savior has been there and then add two words to your statement: "Like Jesus."

~~~~

What strikes me the most is the bible verse--The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. The Message version puts it like this -- The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood.

A question that hits me -- am I walking my talk?

Looking forward to Wordilicious Investigators Day that will be held this Saturday at YMCA KL. A call to RETURN.. A call to OBEY.. A call to celebrate the WORD!

Be still

Be still.. hmm..
A tree can only tahan the storms if it is firmly rooted in the ground.

Coming the end of the week ~ I really thank God for working in my life n the lives of the people around me.

CG~we talked about being still, spending time with God. Itz really encouraging to see people being serious with God, taking up the challenge to study His WOrd, spending time with Him and to listen to His still, small voice.

I like this song very much.
Be Still
Be still, in the presence of the LORD, The Holy One, is here;
Come bow before HIM now with reverence and fear.
In HIM no sin is found, we stand on holy ground.
Be still, in the presence of the LORD,
The Holy One, is here.

Be still, for the glory of the LORD is shining all around;
HE burns with holy fire, with splendour HE is crowned.
How awesome is this sight - our radiant King of light.
Be still, for the glory of the LORD is shining all around.

Be still, for the power of the LORD is moving in this place;
HE comes to cleanse and heal, to minister HIS grace.
No work too hard for HIM, in faith receive from HIM.
Be still, for the power of the LORD is moving in this place.

Going back to IPOh later. I dunno how things are back there. But, I know God is watching over all these.. =)

This MoRninG~BLuR

Gosh......

What is this?? How can we be so blur.. aww..

Well, I had the funniest morning..

1. In DK4 during the stupid probability class, me n adelene were listening to the Indian version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.. "Aww.. wei.. twinkler twinkler littler star.. how I wonder what what you are.. how I wonder what you are.. hey.. twinkler twinkler littler starrrr.... aaarrrr.. how I wonder what you are.." Itz so funny... I m looping the song now... hahaha...

2. Me n Ms. Adelene ~ went for math asas tutorial class today. We went in, sat for a few minutes, realised that there was sth wrong..

Before we realised that we were in the wrong class, we were perparing for class la.

"Have you done the tutorial paper ar?

"No la, where got time wei?"

"My roommate said she will ask people to go out n do questions one."

"Hah... really ar? Like that ar, how?"

"Just tell her that our tutor hasn't finished discussing the previous paper n she didn't ask us to finish the next paper la."

"Oh, like that la...."

After a few minutes...

"Wei, I think we entered the wrong class. I don't see any familiar faces."

"Only her tutorial classes come for replacement izzit?"

"But that day she said 'ALL' tutorial class from 12-1pm right?

"Really ar?"

"Ha? How?"

"OK, if she asks, then we just tell her that we were busy on tuesday n we missed the tutorial class. And we come here for replacement la. Can one la.."

After a few minutes...

"Wei, that girl is leaving."

"ha, really want to leave ar?"

"Go la. we r in the wrong class what."

"OK la.. go la go la."

Ahem... then we left the room. Eee... so mensiasuikan la.. Well, the lecturer la.. tak cakap baik baik pun. We thought all the tutorial classes on that hour were canceled. Manalah tahu, only the tutorial classes under her were canceled. So, both of us actually missed our tutorial class on tuesday. Then we gila-gila thought the replacement class this morning is for our class. Duh..

Jiahui n Adelene... haih...

My HOPE. YOuR HOPE?

I was browsing thru' the photos...
Then I came across this...

Is tHeRe HoPe.....?

When situations go kelam-kabut..
when life seems terrible..
when nonsensical problems beset you..
when you are so overwhelmed with grief..
when you are standing alone in the crowd..
when you are feeling helpless
when you have strayed away from God..
when ...
..you may add to the list.

Is there HOPe......?

For a child has been born--for us!
the gift of a son--for us!
He'll take over
the running of the world.
His names will be:
Amazing Counselor,
Strong God,
Eternal Father,
Prince of Wholeness.

Isa 9:6

My hope is in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
where my help comes from.
HE is my strength, my song.
My trust is in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
I will sing His praise, HE is faithful...!

Another sunday

I lift up my eyes to the hills
( I see 'hills' ~ all sorts of trials n difficulties awaiting me..kinda like hunting me down)
-where does my help come from?
( a question ~ with an answer which I know very well..)
My help comes from the LORD,
( Ha, I told ya.. indeed, my help comes from Him..)
the Maker of heaven and earth.
( My God.. who created me in His image..)

I had a cekap day yesterday. I went for Legacy Live thingy~something on friendship evangelism. It was good la.
Hmm, I realised that I have this problem ~ when people asked me questions like "how's the event?", "how's the time spent doing reflection?" etc.. I always came out with a standard Jiahui's answer, which is ~ "Erm.. ok la..", "Erm, itz good/very good..". Then I will stop there. Alamak... how la macam ini?

Well.. standard Jiahui's answer includes....
1. "whatever la.."
2. "itz bad/not so good/ok/good/very good la..."
3. "see how things go la.../see first la..."
4. "cekap..."
5.
6.

I'll let u know if there's anymore...

Sunday... so fast..
Last sunday morning, I was on my way back to ipoh.
This morning, my mum called. I think both of us were not in the good mood. The conversation didn't end well. I felt very bad.

Sunday 6am.. it becomes a day that reminds me of a lot of stuff la. I m still in the process of recovery.

I m amazed by the way God works in our lives, in situations...

One thing I learned thru what has happened lately.. God's timing is always the most cekap timing. God is never too late or too early. He is always on time.

Last day of T.H.E. camp ~ sweet sweet memories
