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 :)

 认真的男人最帅!

Hello :D

It's been a long time since I last blogged! Too lazy to update. XD

I'm in UCSI studying medicine now, and this is my first weekend staying back in KL. I miss my home, I miss my family. I've been calling back home almost everyday since I came back last Sunday, partly because I need to tell my mum what to bring for me when they come up the next weekend. :P Though I don't get to see them, but I feel very blessed and happy to hear their voices over the phone, as long as they're doing fine, I'm contented. :)

The climax for these three weeks was when we did lancing, it was fun! It was my first time doing it- punching a mini-hole in my finger to get my blood! Amanda and I was sooo excited! XD Harri's fingers shivered when he did it, and Zhen Theng couldn't bring himself to do it. I regret for not asking Amanda to take video for me, the historic moment. Arghhh

UCSI published our foundation results on The Star today!!! I bought today's papers and flipped through the pages, there it was- right beneath my eyes- one whole page of list and I actually DIDN'T SEE IT!! Till I saw somebody posting some snaps taken of that page on Facebook did my jaw dropped in horror -.- That's so unfair! How can they post it without seeking our permission, that's P&C T.T

Had a peaceful and quiet breakfast this morning, reading some articles, and observing as laborers worked under the scorching sun to complete the icon nearby. Everyone is striving for a living, and I'm really blessed to get the opportunity to study, sponsored with a scholarship. God is always so gracious to His children :) I know I can't afford to be blur if I want to be a doctor. So I'll have to work on it somehow.

If I were to enlist things that I regret in my life, this will be a fraction of it:
... Not continuing piano lessons during primary school.
... Not having the habit of reading beyond textbooks.

I'm just being random. Good night :P

First Day in Kedah :D

We set out last night at 11.21pm, and were supposed to sleep in the bus while heading towards Kedah, but the bus stopped every now and then - from one hour to the next, and interrupted my piggy sleep a few times until I decided that I should just give up sleeping -.-

We had breakfast at a place in the middle of nowhere and the Ramly burger my sister and I had was awesomely awful. It was the worst Ramly burger we had ever tasted.

We finally reached this morning at I wasn't sure what's the exact time, and went to the hall of SM Teknik where the competition will be held for rehearsal before we had a lunch of meat. Lunch of meat? You should be able to guess, gu lu yok, lemon chicken, steamed fish, gong bao fish, sweet and sour chicken...... and only a dish of vegetable. What's worse, the meat are not tender at all T.T

We checked into the hotel and I really really had a hard time trying to put them to nap, arghh. They just can't keep still!! We rehearsed again after the unsuccessful napping time and went to a saloon to have their hair tied up.

So, dinner was at the same place, the kids just railed "蛤又是这里!", so I persuaded them, "你们要假假很开心, 就像我现在这样!!" T.T

Another hard time of hushing them and sending them off to bed. Lol. Just tucked them in and now, I'm gonna have a rest. Tomorrow's the national level competition! Hope that God's favour will rest on us. :)

It takes some time to gather myself to stand on my feet. The mere thought of being rejected can set me off in tears. But seeing others who are in the same situation with me upset and disappointed, I chose to voice out what I might otherwise thought shameful to tell, so that I may at least encourage them as someone who shares the same feelings with them. After all, I always have my tower of refuge behind me :) It's also partly because I'm flooded with questions lately that I decided to say it out once and for all, or else I might drown answering "No I'm not accepted.", "I don't know." and "Don't worry, I'm fine."

On the first day the news broke to me, I cried. As I looked up in tears, the words "In life, what sometimes appears to be the end is really a new beginning."

The next day, I decided for some fresh air outdoors, though I failed to get fresh air because all I got was breathing in chunks of smoke in Tasik Y, lol. I was jogging when someone ran past me, on his shirt there was the word "Miracle 11". Right. Following behind was another man bringing the word "Amen 18" into my sight. Fine, I smiled~

My life, my strength, my hope are all in God. I'll trust Him for the best :)
