Im back from Shanghai, Wuxi, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hengdian, Yiwu and Suzhou! LOL! Never thought i’ll enjoy myself that much there. Almost cancelled the trip because of h1n1 but im glad we went. I can say it’s one of the best trips i’ve ever went and the best tour group and tour leader we ever had. =) AND it’s really cheap compared to the original price, as we are labelled the VIPs by the China government. It seems they are encouraging tourism in their country now because of the economy crisis (smart way they used too), so they paid some of the fees! We’re literally being treated like kings and queens there, eating like there’s no tomorrow — they are good food too! I think i gained 5 kgs!
Pretty drained out now after the 8 days trip. Couldn’t get used to the hot and humid air here when landed. Now i’m still in a recovery state. Having flu and headache! Hope to get more rest but tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow and also the day after the day after tomorrow is AYPAC Conference 09! I think i was more excited about this before the Shanghai trip. Well, am setting myself back to where i was before i was in the dreamland Shanghai. And now im quite excited for it!! WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!
I will update about the Shanghai trip after a few more days if i feel like it or have time for it. Love the China’s history. Way lots of interesting stuffs happened even in small towns! I was just totally amazed. A.M.A.Z.E.D.
Anyway, it was really like a dream during the trip. No exams to think of, no need to think about anything else too but to enjoy and receive what they feed me.
Now i need to shake myself awake to the reality of the world in Malaysia. STUDIES! BIO EXPERIMENTS! and ETC….infinity….
WAKE UP YEETHONG!
O.O
You know something is wrong with you when you’re not bored rereading a series of book.
*shudders*
I don’t think it has anything to do with my patience…?
Maybe I’m just simply a boring person..*pouts*
Sometimes i hate reading novels. It eats up your whole day because you just can’t stop reading it. Besides, everything seems to just stop or doesn’t matter when you indulge in the story. The real world seems distant away as you indulge in the fantasy created by the authors. =(. Even worse if they are ebooks! Your eyes will be bulging out of tiredness staring at the screen!
Still, i can’t stop reading. I’m just glad that i only choose certain books to read, the famous ones or rather bestsellers because i will feel cheated of my time if the story i spend in reading sucks. And usually those bestsellers are expensive, so i will not want to buy them thus saving money altogether. But if i were to buy, i guess i’ll prefer to buy books that can serve as a memory instead. *grins*
Anyway, ramblings aside, i can’t believe its nearing december already. I still haven’t done a lot of things! Feel like burying myself under some rabbit holes for one year. Family decided in the end to go Shanghai. Not really anticipating for it somehow, maybe with the flu that is going about and the cold temperature that is beyond normal and my short holidays(still alot of things to do) and mum is not really in the mood. She’ll be opening the organic shop officially on this coming sunday and its Grand Opening is after our trip. It’s like her dream come true.
Till my next post.
i’ve been replaying and replaying the song You by Switchfoot..and i don’t know when i’ll stop listening to it! Maybe it pretty suits my mood these few days.
Two days ago, lene called me to hang out with Puan pushpa together with ferlynne and lilian. It was my first time having lunch with a teacher, truly. x) I didn’t think that it would be fun to catch up with teachers, and to know whats the thoughts of ex-teacher regarding the schools etc. I regretted not doing something to bless convent teachers and also the school radically previously.
Yesterday, the lower f6 gave out the miniclips we made to the stpm-ers. Really happy and got encouraged as well when they said they were. =). Though gen told me, it didn’t last even an hour when they clip it!lol! well, we tried our best 😉 Hope this will serve as a sweet memory to them!
I need a GOOD diary planner for next year! Have to start planning on my time. Time has never been enough for me and maybe time has been enough for me except im not really good in managing my time. I guess what’s junk in my life, i shall clean them up pretty soon. Soon! It’s been a comfortable lifestyle to me, my previous one, but i know it won’t do for next year. Next year is pretty an exception. Well, shifting house is always uncomfortable, and i guess shifting my lifestyle will also be an uncomfortable one. I hope i’ll look on forward, that goal, so i can be willing to undergo that process! Anyway still, i will not stop doing what i’m supposed to do and what one of my ultimate purpose in school is. This i will not compromise. God, help me!
I went to school today, or rather i almost went to school. Supposed to help distribute t-shirts to the teachers. Was on the way driving when Sharon called me telling me that she didn’t know that we are already in holiday! haha. my bad too. i didn’t explain to her properly because i thought she is having exam today so i’ll just help them out. Anyway, interesting first day, first morning of holiday. =) …and yeah..i mean it..interesting! haha
xoxo
Everyday is a new day.
For after every night, there’ll always be a morning.
When dawn appears, so does mist.
Ready to wash away the dirt on the leaves..
Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in You.
Show me the way I should go,
for You I lift up my soul.
[Psalm 143:8]
I think dreaming of a group of people whom you’ve not met for ages and are missing is a weird thing. But somehow it makes you to taste and guess how the feeling will be like to meet them back again.. hmmph. I hope i will never dream that kind of dream again. =)
On Thursday, me and my family went to watch 2012. Thanks to brother, who went there early in the morning to line up for the tickets, we managed to get it! It’s the first day of the movie eh! So its really hard to get them. 😉 He had been anticipating for the movie since months ago!! Anyway, of course, all of us got disappointment after watching it. It’s not as nice as what we’ve expected it to be though. =) I didn’t get wow-ed by it. Hehe. But well, we had a great time hanging out together.
School is awesome..and i think its getting more awesome. I dared Ian and Wyekit to eat one cricket. Wye Kit declined of course, but when I see Ian’s eyes – that “yes, i WILL” kind of expression, i know he was gonna make it. LOL. Indeed he ate that cricket – video is in FB-. I was just speechless. Anyway, its a pretty fun thing and a memorable one. At least, there’s this “I’ve eaten a cricket before” in his list of achievement to be proud of when he is old..haha! I’m yet to eat a dead and fried one tho..;) Shanghai trip will be cancelled due to h1n1. It’s really a waste, but well, we can’t do anything because it seems the rate of people infected by that virus in China is increasing in a fast rate especially in this winter.
Yesterday, we watched Terminator – the latest one. It’s a pretty cool movie, except i was pretty confused of the future and past thing. Not bad movie, but still, i felt it should go a bit longer. 🙂
Yesterday too, had a worship practice for Ladies’ seminar. It was pretty fun i would say. :D. Well, i dunno whether i can make it for that guitar, but will try my best. Anyway, it made me recalled back to a lady whom i met in LRT when i was riding it with my college mates. I was holding my guitar, and this lady told me “Learn up your guitar well. Continue to practise with it. You can and will use it to play in church.” I wonder how she knows i’m a Christian.
i picked up the dictionary
trying to define the way
the way you make me feel inside
i looked from A to Z
But still I could not find the words to describe
Instead I found words like Amazing
and Pulchritudinous, Extraordinary
and baby, Marvelous
But still those words don’t bring you justice
I came to conclusions
You’re best left undefined
You’ll always be a question mark to me
Ain’t no scientific mathematical equation
Could solve your mystery
You’ll always be a step ahead of me
I’ve gone down the road
Found no gold
So I’ll just let you be
You’ll always remain a mystery
So I searched the world wide web
Tryin’ to find the page
The page that would best describe ya
I searched the whole damn thing
But still I could not find the answers
I gave up on searching
I’m goin out my mind
I came to conclusions
Your best left undefined
You’ll always be a question mark to me
Ain’t no scientific mathematical equation
Could solve your mystery
You’ll always be a step ahead of me
I’ve gone down the road
Found no gold
So I’ll just let you be
You’ll always remain a mystery
Oh Finally,I found you hiding in the dictionary pages of mine.
There you are, my shining star
You’re the definition of undefined.
Last two weeks, after being prompted by Isaac about when we’ll continue having Recess Revolution, I decided to just have a go and bless the f5 and f6 teachers in school! I was actually delaying the RR because of the coming final exams, and also the prospect of the f5s who are going to have SPM very near, besides many other factors.
But I was jerked back to a realisation that even though we’re busy or even though exams are flooding or even though we’re just small in numbers, we can still DO something for this school! At least we can grab every opportunity that comes our way to bless the school though we do not know where this will lead us.
So, i decided why not we do bookmarks with different words of encouragements for different teachers, then Isaac came in with the suggestion to make paper flowers too which were so wonderfully made and were AWESOME!;)
We met twice, two groups in fact – one was with isaac, the 3 Soos, genesis and mikha, and another one with vivian, joanne and june meng. Then the rest of the undone work were helped by my classmates(thank youuu!!) and me at home for a week, plus isaac’s mum for the flowers.
Truly it was a really tiring work to me, writing different words of encouragements for different teachers, cutting the papers, sorting and resorting the bookmarks according to the rooms, etc.
Initially, we wanted to bless all the form 6 teachers only because it would be too many to do for all morning sessions. But after finishing all the 33, i looked back at the names of the teachers in the school magazine and felt why not just make for all the morning session teachers. So there went the mission for another 55 bookmarks and flowers!
Anyway, this is the part that I know God is truly 100% supporting this. During the middle of this project, i just felt so tired of doing it and nearly thought of giving up. I asked God, “ Is it worth it to do this?” As i was scrambling around my messy room searching for stuffs here and there to continue this bookmark project, i thought of calling Genesis to ask him for someone’s number. When i called him, he was pretty surprised because it seemed he was already typing a message to me. He said he wanted to tell me something. He asked me whether i’ll be doing the bookmarks for all the morning session teachers. Then he explained to me that that day he saw a teacher(i think she’s f5 teacher) crying because it seemed no students appreciate her. THAT suddenly gave me a ZAP in my heart and i felt like i’m just soaring high with encouragement. Then suddenly the image of my Chem teacher came to my mind and i was being reminded and refreshed again. I KNOW immediately that this is God telling me not to give up. In the same time, i can just feel God’s hurt for those teachers who are broken-hearted and that He wants us to do something about it!!
So we managed to finish it and i was really happy that at last they’re almost DONE on Thursday morning!! I was so relieved that we can finally give the bookmarks on the next day. On that Thursday night, i wanted to look at the bookmarks again to have some maintenance. I went to my bag and found that they WERE NOT IN THE BAG!! I couldn’t believe it and i was still in a calm mode. I searched for them the whole house and in my bro’s car hoping that they will pop up. But they were not there too!! Slowly panic came seeping in and then disappointment over why God allow this to happen!! I recalled back to many places that they can be. Sungai Chua car park, Giant car park, Mikha’s front house, hopefully in school, the school floor etc. My last hope is that the bookmarks are under my desk! But i was positive that i checked the desk before i left the classroom.
Really, i couldn’t accept the fact that all of these are gone after many late nights and many efforts by everyone in this! I cried out to God and told Him that “WHY do you allow this? Are you teaching me something?” In the end, I told Him “If it’s Your plan, do it Your way(in my mind i was thinking maybe someone saw the bookmarks in the car park and he will kindly return to us), You’ve brought us this far, surely You’ll bring us through it!” In my heart, i just felt that all of these are NOT in vain, and surely miracle will happen again. I placed my trust in Him before i go to sleep. and man i hoped to sleep and wake up faster because i couldn’t wait to go to school the next morning!=P
Morning came, i was still hoping. Then, when i reached the school canteen where everyone was waiting, i quicly placed my bag and ran up to my class to check. Lo and behold, the bookmarks are indeed UNDER MY DESK!! Sitting unharmed! I couldn’t believe my eyes and i laughed and laughed, joy erupting in me, thanking God and praising Him as i hugged the precious bookmarks. This journey of doing the bookmark was indeed a memorable one though it may seem small!
So on Friday, we gave to the teachers and i felt so happy that they are encouraged by the words. They were just admiring the bookmarks and the flowers. Of course some of them just look at it for a few seconds then put a side, but i know it’s already suffice and has made their day.=)
I never can be a good, disciplined student to them, but i’ll try to be one in the future.
The King will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”

p/s: i’m lazy to upload the pictures and videos as my computer is laggy. cheers!
PHEW! Today is a weird day…Haha..maybe not so but truly today, it tastes a bit different. Maybe because we had 3 experiments to do today – one Bio exp which i had never done before and 2 chem exps which i actually enjoyed doing because it doesn’t really require much thinking except to be thrilled to see the colour changed when two chemicals were mixed together. Mind my English by the way. 😉 Secondly, we jungle trekked the forest in High School and saw the lubang Jepun. Pretty cool, though we were bruised with many mosquito bites. xP. Teachers were not in except for Bio and Chem of course. So its pretty relaxing. It’s refreshing to catch up with old friend. I can’t wait for the AYPAC! Its truly a reunion for everyone of us. Also a reunion for all Father’s children. Haha. I’m imagining it to be like heaven. =P. I hope the Revival Meeting scheduled every night of the three days conference are Worship Concert! It’ll be so awesome to worship together with multitudes of people and multiraces, new friends, old friends, children, aunties, uncles, babies, animals, insects..lol! Hopefully!
It already feels like holiday to me! I know i need to make full use of my holiday to study!Don’t know how i’m gonna do that! Will be going to so many places, so many stuffs to plan, so many friends to catch up, so many STUFFS TO PLAN!!! Planning for CF! Planningss for LYPG!! Planningssssss for Cell Group!!! Planningssss for Prayer Group in school!! Recess Revo!!! I’m so excited! LYPG will be starting soon and i really pray that it’ll last till the end of our race here and be passed down to the next generation!! Conditions applied though..hahha!
Yesterday, family and i watched Angels and Demons. I find it pretty boring though and fell asleep not even half way of the movie!Haha..at last, i just left the room and went back up to my bed room! =P
Till here for today.. =) peace
