Goodbye August

August 2012- a meaningful month for me. I'm slowly getting on track, starting to make new friends, blending my life with this big city once more. So many memories within this month, bitter and sweet. These are the moments that I'll keep in my heart, because they mark the true start of my degree life :)

Ended August with a haircut. Why? Because I shi-lian! Hahaha. :P I'm not going to cut this short anymore till my sister comes back next year, I promised her it'll be long when she next sees me after she leaves Malaysia :) I'm going to miss her very very much.

Say goodbye to my long hair :')

Middle of The Night

Officially been away from Facebook for a week. Phewww. MA at a time like this, such a spoiler. T.T When everyone else is having fun and relaxing, here I am...... blogging instead of studying, HAHA!!

August is coming to an end, time swifts by incredibly fast. I've been in UCSI for 7 weeks (and I don't even know the names of some of my classmates). 6 weeks of lecture is enough for our notes to be piled up like crazy. So much to read and memorize T.T For two things I regret, the first is I didn't study EVERYDAY, and the second I literally spent two weeks on the first Biochemistry topic -.- Bravo.

So many of my friends are leaving, either by the end of this month or in the following month, I'll miss them >< I'm supposed to melianluokekancingan with them during this Raya holidays, but, as you know, MA1 comes in the way :(

Now alone at my unit, feeling so independent :P Well got to either read another set of notes or get to bed now. Good night world :)

CHCKL Experience

Feel so blessed to have finally found a cell group where I can settle down :) Never knew that there's one going on at Angkasa until recently, Lye told me about it when he happened to see me wearing the Chromeheart T-shirt.

Perfect timing it is, just when Christine's about to move to her new house in Subang. I'll miss her :( She was my first friend in City Harvest, her family the first to show me hospitality and God's love. I've been taking her car to church for a year, and we didn't even knew each other when she first brought me to church. She was introduced by my hometown friend, Wen Qi. She's so mild-tempered, gentle, caring; and such a great company too- we enjoyed our Neon Run together today, taking it as "sight-seeing" as we made our way slowly to the finishing line. And we were actually just one minute away from the medal of such beautiful craftsmanship :'(

Talking about my new cell group, W13- we just got to know each other for one week (I first met them this Sunday) and they're already like very close friends to me. Ken, whom I just met today, thought I've known them for a few months seeing me "talking back" at Caleb (as what he said)! XD I told them I had to defend myself, since I was trained for that growing up with my lawyer sister. Hahaha.

Made many new friends through CG- Silvia, Caleb, Pek Ling, John, Robin, Zoe, Joshua and Ken. Had breakfast with them today, and a wonderful fellowship time. I'm growing to love this family in City Harvest more and more! I'm really thankful to meet these people who gave me the CHCKL experience, and who instilled in me a stronger sense of belonging here. I was actually looking forward to go Kuala Terengganu campus, but now, I'm having second thoughts, lol. XD

Champion in Our Hearts

For the first time in my life, I feel the disappointment of being just a few inches away from championship as a sportsman. I don't often watch sports, but this year, because of Dato' Lee Chong Wei, I stayed tuned to the semi-finals and finals for Badminton in the Olympics games.

Despite the fact that he hadn't really recovered from injuries, he bore the pain to fight in view of Malaysians to win a gold medal in Olympics, to make us proud. I'm compelled to say that he performed well, beyond my expectations. I had the thrill of screaming and clapping in excitement each time he won a point, and also felt the anxiety when he missed. I'm thankful to be able to watch this awesome game on such a wide screen. It's so different to watch with a group of enthusiasts :)

He knelt down in down spirits as the last point went to his opponent. His coach went up and gave him a hug, and that was such a touching moment. If I were there I'd hug him too! I remember sharing the joy when he emerged as the winner in the semi-finals. And now, as a part of this nation, I wish to share his anguish with all Malaysians. #Keeping up the One Malaysia spirit yeah!

You're the Gold of Malaysia, Lee Chong Wei :)

I can't help feeling sad seeing photos of his downcast face as I scrolled my Facebook homepage. Please don't, you have the whole nation for you. Who cares about the benefits we get for your championship, I want you to be happy!

"Skill wins you medals, but attitude wins hearts." (ESPN commentator) He perspired to inspire- he's our hero, our pride. He's my lifetime role model. Tonight, he is crowned champion in our hearts :)
