WOW

Wow! It has been almost 2 years since I last blogged! Wow! Just Wow!

I may or may not continue blogging. I am not sure yet. Insane amount of things has happened in my life the past 2 years. God is so good. I'm blessed beyond measure that I have a wonderful family, friends, good health, job and I'm getting married real soon to the love of my life. Count your blessings because sometimes things can get in the way and we tend to focus on everything that is not going right instead of what is. 

I've definitely grown a lot as a person thanks to the people in my life. God truly knows what is best for you including putting special people into your life. Never take anyone for granted. I am so blessed. 

I got to go now. I might be back. Stay tuned :)

Love,

Love Came Down

This song is so beautiful and it explains everything that I feel in my heart.. 

Love Came Down by Kari Jobe 

If my heart is overwhelmed

And I cannot hear Your voice

I hold on to what is true

Though I cannot see

If the storms of life they come

And the road ahead gets steep

I will lift these hands in faith

I will believe

I'll remind myself

Of all that You've done

And the life I have

Because of Your son

[Chorus]

Love came down and rescued me

Love came down and set me free

I am Yours

Lord I'm forever Yours

Mountains high or valley low

I sing out and remind my soul

I am Yours

I am forever Yours

When my heart is filled with hope

Every promise comes my way

When I feel Your hands of grace

Rest upon me

Staying desperate for You, God

Staying humble at Your feet

I will lift these hands in praise

I will believe

I'll remind myself

Of all that You've done

And the life I have

Because of Your son

Love came down and rescued me

Love came down and set me free

I am Yours

I am forever Yours

Mountains high or valley low

I sing out and remind my soul

I am Yours

I am forever Yours

I am Yours

I am Yours

All my days

Jesus, I am Yours

[x2]

Love came down and rescued me

Love came down and set me free

I am Yours

I am forever Your's

Mountains high or valley low

I sing out and remind my soul

I am Yours

I am forever Yours

[x2]

Yeah, I am yours, I'm yours, I am yours

Jesus I am yours

I am forever Yours,

Ponder

Selamat petang!

It's a holiday today because of Hari Raya and I am sitting in the hall and I realize that I've grown side ways. Nah, just kidding (Okay, maybe a little). I've grown more as a person. Especially this year. Realizing so many things the past couple of months made me feel accomplished for some reason. It's not anything big to begin with but just small little things that made a big impact in my life.

The past couple of months, I've learnt to love myself more. I never use to love being alone. I don't like eating alone or going anywhere on my own. I never understood how some people could actually just sit all by themselves in a shop and eat or go out on their own or travel alone and doing anything alone.

The past couple of months, I felt like going out on my own. Having some alone time. I actually did it and it felt good. I realize that being able to go out on your own, eating alone and what not means that I am comfortable with who I am. It also gives me time to relax and ponder about life. What are my goals? Where am I in this stage of my life? What have I done so far? Or just even having time to journal which in turn helps me gather my thoughts and knowing how blessed I am.

Another thing that I feel so accomplished about is the fact that I finally love reading! About 2 weeks ago, I decided to pick up a book and read. Guess what? I love it! I never loved reading. I never knew why. Glad I found out that I actually do love reading. It is amazing how God created us in such a way that we can imagine things. Our brains are just so AMAZING! I can't even begin to explain how amazing it is. I am even more speechless if you ask me to explain how amazing God is. He is the creator! Not the created. Enough said.

As I journey on year 2014, I am excited to see what else God has in store for me. Life is fleeting. You just never know when your time is coming. Live your life in a way that you know you will never regret anything if you were to be gone the next second.  Chase after things that last even when the world ends. What sort of legacy would you leave behind?

Another off day tomorrow! I am blessed! What shall I do tomorrow? I think I need some exercise. It has been way too long since the last I exercised! First take care of yourself before even thinking of taking care of anybody else.

Cheers!

The Hope of All Hearts is YOU

"Hope Of All Hearts"

The world may fade
You will remain
In the midst of the trial
You will always be, I'll sing
Our God never fails
Our God never fails

With hope and light
You reign over all
Though my heart may fail
You will always be, I'll sing
Our God never fails
Our God never fails

Praise in the morning
Praise in the evening
Praise when I'm laughing
Praise when I'm grieving
There will be dancing
There will be singing

Upon injustice we will tell of our God

The hope of all hearts
The hope of all hearts Is you
Your love never fails
Your love never fails

With hope and light
You reign over all
Though my heart may fail
You will always be all the same
Our God never fails
Our God never fails

Praise in the morning
Praise in the evening
Praise when I'm laughing
Praise when I'm grieving
There will be dancing
There will be singing
Upon injustice we will tell of our God

The hope of all hearts
The hope of all hearts Is you
Your love never fails
Your love never fails
[x2]

In darkness,
In trial, my soul shall sing
Of his mercy, and kindness
Our offering of praise
Our God never fails
Our God never fails

In darkness,
In trial, my soul shall sing
Of his mercy, and kindness
Our offering of praise
Our God never fails
Our God never fails

There is Hope in Him,

Gonna Get Over You

Sometimes, songs help to express what you are feeling. Another song I'm listening to now.. 

"Gonna Get Over You" by Sara Bareilles 

Goodbye
Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Layin' down the law that I live by,
Though maybe next time

I've got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung
Simmer then the burn for a someone,
A wrong one

And I tell myself to let the story end,
My heart will rest in someone else's hand
My 'why not me?' philosophy began,
And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I'm hurting and make me,
Hang from your hands

Well, no more,
I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
If I make it at the thought of you, what for?
It's not me anymore

And I'm not the girl that I intend to be,
I dare you darling, just you wait and see
But this time not for you but just for me,
And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Say it's coming soon,
Someday without you,
All I can do
Is get me past the ghost of you,

Wave goodbye to me,
I won't say I'm sorry,
I'll be alright
once I find the other side of someday
Oohoohooohoohooh...
Oohoohooohoohooh...

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

To whom it may concern,

Goodbye,

Yvonne's-gonna-get-over-you-chong

Problem

Exactly how I'm feeling right now..

Problem by Ariana Grande 

Uh!

What you got?

Smart money bettin'

I'll be better off without you

In no time

I'll be forgettin' all about you

You saying that you know

But I really really doubt you

Understand my life is easy

When I ain't around you

Iggy Iggy

To biggie to be here stressin'

I'm thinkin' I love the thought of you

More than I love your presence

And the best thing now

Is probably for you to exit

I let you go

Let you back

I finally learned my lesson!

No half-stepping

Either you want it or you just playin'

I'm listening to you knowin'

I can't believe what you're sayin'

There's a million you's baby boo

So don't be dumb

I got 99 problems

But you won't be one

Like what!

[Ariana Grande:]

One less, one less problem

One less, one less problem

Head in the clouds

Got no weight on my shoulders

I should be wiser

And realize that I've got (I've got)

[Big Sean:]

One less problem without ya!

I got!

One less problem without ya!

I got!

One less problem without ya!

[Ariana Grande:]

I got one less, one less problem

[Big Sean:]

One less problem without ya

I got!

One less problem without ya!

I got!

One less problem without ya!

[Ariana Grande:]

I got one less, one less problem

[Big Sean:]

One less problem without ya

I got!

One less problem without ya!

I got!

One less problem without ya!

[Ariana Grande:]

I got one less, one less problem

Gone for too long

Hello everybody! 

Yes, I have been missing from my blog for a long time now. It has been more than a year since I last blogged. I might start blogging more often now. This actually helps me improve my written language (which was actually the main reason why I started my blog) 

Well, a year has passed and I must say it has been challenging for me. I started my new job last year in May. I have been coming out from my comfort zone each day. Learning a lot of new things as days pass. I am still wondering if this is what I want to continue doing or should I find another job? Im leaning more towards the latter at the moment. 

Well on the brighter note, one highlight of my life that I would like to share happened recently. For the first time in my life, I travelled on my own. I have never gone anywhere on a holiday by myself. Even though it was only an hour of flight away but I did it! One tick off my bucket list. 

Now, another task is at hand for me. I am getting stressed out about it and I need to attend to it now. 

Another move out of my comfort zone. God please help me!

Till the next post,
