Flashback 1: Sisters Outing

I know I havent been updating my blog for ages.. Hehe.. So since I am on "holiday" now, I'll try to update you on happenings since January.

It has been a "riveting" experience this semester.. a fusion of many good and sad things, but God is GOOD! cant emphasize more! I am amazed by how things have changed in me and around me over the last few years. Though sometimes it's difficult, but I am grateful that God is always there for me, together with my fellow friends and family.

Lots to share with you all.. so stay tuned! =)

sharings and pictures are in random orders...

First up, sisters outing! We have been planning for this outing together (just the FOUR of us!) since January. Yea.. but our mission was fulfilled only when the sem was about to end. Why? All of us have been busy with stuff and 'people'.. hehe..

But it's been great doing life together with these three young and beautiful ladies since my first day of college. Cant imagine how life is without you gals.

Most of us are entering the next phase of life where we are "beginning" to engage in a more serious talk about some life decisions. Haha.. sounds pretty deep. It's funny how lately our sharings and talks now revolve around responsibilities of life, careers, marriage, obligations of adulthood..etc. Haha.. it's a sign, huh?

I remember those times when one of us were really down, we'll be there to sing a song and pray for one another, speaking words of encouragement and reminding one another about the promises of God... the times when all of us "squeezed" into one bed and stayed up late to watch movies and series.. and the junk food. Yummy! And how we lifted one another during those madness with workload and other relationship issues .. I praise God for all of you.

worship central..

yes..
may be not...
hmm.. yes?
no?

okay.. may be I should.
YES!


and yep.. I ended up at worship central session last night. It was a NO regret. I am glad I went.

Tim Hughes and the team were awesome. It felt as if I was back in Arise again! Gosh, I miss those days of loud and vibrant worship sessions. Some of our friends from Bethany Kuching were here. Delighted to see them again! Miss u all heaps!

Anyway, it has been great. They shared about worship and two essential words that I caught last night were "PASSION" and "COURAGE"... we need both in our life. Amen!

Anyway, yesterday had been a long but not so fruitful day.

What have I been up to after the exams?
Intel course. Something that makes me feel 'crippled' in the inside especially when I have to work with my 'old ye faithful laptop'. Yea.. despite of all the viruses, super lag response and adapter that has 'moodswing', the "peek-a-boo-moments" with my word docs and the systems that "eat" up some of my files without notifying me .etc... it's amazing how tech can spice up our life.

I can imagine some of you screaming back to my ears, "Audddd... get a new lappie, please!"

yes yes! I know I know.. I need some prayers and support to work things out le.. or may be just wait for a bit more time to collect enough resources. Hehe. Yea. May be I have arrived at the stage where most of us feel that we'll be fine taking care of ourselves without making our parents worry about it.. dont really want to burden them more as they have done so much for us all these years..

But God's my strength and provider. Wait on Him, take heart and be strong..

today's devotional speaks about Provision..

you can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, His generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus. (Phil 4:19- MSG)

that's all for now. =)

starbucks ..

two papers next week and i'll be officially off for the semester. Wait.. not exactly.. there's two weeks of courses. 

Anyway, i have been spending my days sitting at starbucks, making it my second home. I love the coffee and the ambiance here. I was here alone last night, trying to finish my AS's notes. Cant stand the heat in the room and the noise from the construction. N i am back here again today with jess and harold. Hehe.. 

anyway, i guess my memory been overloaded de.. sleeping and eating pattern been really messy too. sigh. anyway, hang in there audie. it's gonna be over real soon... 

p/s: jess n i hv been watching a few clips on youtube and I LOOOOVVVEEE chipmunks! they're so adorable. eheh

Just like tattoo

it's you
the first thing i saw in the morning
the last thing i think of when i go to sleep

it's you
wherever i go
you are there too

just like a tattoo
i cant get you off my mind

two more days to go
i'll treasure every moment I have with you now

oh assignments!

final lap...

January and February : Arghh.. I wish I am not back here.. College life is "ughh". it's madness

March: Okay.. it's getting more intense but may be it's not that bad. Coins has two sides. If one side is ugly, then flip to the other side. Anyway, learn to appreciate and be thankful for both the beauty and the ugly ones. Life isnt perfect. But imperfection is what makes life interesting.

April 15 (today): 3 more assignments in 2 weeks and 2 exam papers in May!! pheww... how did we get this far? unbelievable. After this there wont be assignments anymore.. cool huh?

just rambling.. hehe. should get back to work now. GBU.

in total surrender...

And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this? (Esther 4:14)

With willing heart I take the stand,
in You I trust and surrender all
Nothing happens by accident.
I am grateful
that You're always here to carry us through
help me to stay strong and courageous at such moment
grant me understanding and wisdom
it will get better in time
because You are in control
