Happy New Year 2013

Hi all, i want to wish you all a very happy new year, hope it's not too late..
Anyway, i got back safely to my campus and officially started my 3rd year of degree, now it's the second week and almost ending.
So far, the stress is slowly easing in with all the assignments coming in, i pray i can handle it with wisdom and patience.
I changed my seat this year so i hope that everything will improve this year too, not that the seating place really matter anyway. I just wanted a change of scene.
My new year resolution is to be a better person that trusts in the Lord in all i do.
Currently, i'm addicted to Mandarin dramas, no longer korean dramas. I found them very interesting and funny, now i'm watching two dramas in sequence, the first one, 离婚前规则 (rules before a divorce) and also 真爱找麻烦(true love looking for trouble), they are both really good dramas, i watched them for a reason, i want to know more about LOVE, and also learn from their mistakes, it's like very motivational for me.
Here are the pictures, i really love the characters in the dramas..

(This drama has a total of 84 episodes, currently i'm still downloading it, it's so difficult to find the completed drama in stores.. the soundtracks of this drama is very nice too, I really love all the songs, it's very meaningful and pleasing to the ears)

Well, i've got to go now, will write soon... BB

End the year 2012 Holidays Part 4

I wanted to post about Part 3, but due to my laziness, oh well... Part 4 is about what i did during December. Time sure flies very fast.. During December, I baked a lot, and also did a new knitting project which i never tried before and never thought i could succeed either, but the Lord is great because i made with for a purpose. :) Well, pictures speak a thousand words, here goes nothing...

 (This tree was given by my late grandma, imagine how old it is, missing her.. When i was small, it looked so huge, but now... hehhe..)

 (Muffin time!!! MY first time making muffins, came out alright, nice..)

 (I love the muffin's batter, it was so smooth and creamy)

 (The end product, MUFFINS!!! Love baking at home, feeling like a good housewife.. just kidding, DIG IN)

 (As i mentioned, my very first attempt to knit a sock, i was like hesitating for more than two years, didn't know what got into me one day, i just decided i must do it, for my grandpa... I love him so very much and i wanted to make something for him with my own hand, after all, i got this gift of knitting from him)

 (This was the beginning part, sorry because the pictures are jumbled up.. At this stage, i was near tears and on the verge to give up because i really don't know what i was doing, twisting here and there, and using Double Pointed Needles may SOUND COOL, but it's still quite difficult, especially if you get mixed up as in whether you have finished one round or not, urgh.. :) )

 (My FIRST attempt to make a cheese cake, all because my youngest sister nagged me until i couldn't stand it anymore, Yeah, i know it looks horrible, but then its yummy!!! Very cheesy and the cake is soft and nicer after being refrigerated.. Oh, The middle part had to be cut out because it was so black and some part wasn't baked enough, hence the hole in the middle)

 (Started the project on the 22/12/12, Finished it on Christmas Eve, just in time, looking good so far, but if you look close enough, there will be holes here and there, missed stitches .. hahahah)

(This is the finished sock, only one side, and starting to make the other side of the sock, starting to get the hang of it, though, fun but then tiring to the hand.. )

I guess, this is the final part of my holidays for 2012, it was altogether a great holiday and i really appreciated the time spent with my family, though i cannot meet up with old friends, being at home was the best thing i could ever wish for. I hope that there will be more good memories to come, now i need to concentrate on the New Year, and be strong and brave and put all my trust in the Lord. Amen.. 

See you soon and thanks for viewing.... 

Year end holiday 2012 story Part 3

I'm back again, so this time i would concentrate on my baking skills. I'm not a pro but of course i hope that in the future i would be one. My one and only inspiration would be my aunt from my mother's side. She is a pro in baking, regardless of others comments. I love all the food that she bakes. I wanted to be like her but of course it takes time and also effort and also heaps of encouragement. So, this holiday i wanted to improve on my baking skills, all my equipment were mainly given by her as my Christmas presents, and also i started to buy some as my collection. During this holiday, i bake different types of cakes, made pizzas, cupcakes and also biscuits for the coming Christmas .. Below are some pictures i took, i even made my first icing in the history of life, and i won't forget the moment my cake tasted like sponge because all this while my cake was either too hard or too oily and so many other things.

( I also made buns, those are butter buns and hot dog buns..)

(This is my very first icing, royal icing, i only found out later, VERY late, that it's non-edible, my gosh, thinking i almost poisoned my own family, but luckily we're all strong and still alive, so i guess i'm not going to make this icing ever again, sorry!!)

Well, i guess that's the end of Part 3, but there are more pictures, so there's also be a Part 3 II.. Part 4 is coming soon, it's about December :) Look forward to it..

Year end Holiday 2012 - Part 2

This entry will be a part two of what i've done throughout November's holidays .. hehe..
I did what i loved most, knitting and crocheting!!!
Oh yeah, i decided that since i should treat myself to something new, i mean like, new year new items.. So, i crocheted a pencil box for myself, early Christmas gift, of many others which i will be giving myself, LOL

 (a rainbow crocheted pencil box in the making, hehe)

(this is a crocheted pouch, a small red one for coins and a bigger one for handphones maybe, or a cute bear.. heheheh)

I guess this is the end of Part 2, Part 3 will be about my baking experience.. :) do enjoy~~

Year end holiday 2012 story Part 1

Hi there. Since its already december i've decided i should recap what i've done since my holiday started in November. Alot of things happened and all of them were memorable, things i could never get back no matter how much i wanted it to, hence i will recollect all my good memories so that i will not forget any single moment.
Here goes, for the part of November, i was still a little lazy, so i like to get up late, but then i had to cook lunch for me and my sisters, it was fun but most of the time i nagged alot.. urgh... but i guess cooking was fun.
Then during the weekends i would go out with my mom and sisters. My dad usually goes back to his own kampong where he always goes to his garden with all the fruit trees and all that, i sometimes go there but i don't really like it because there are too many swamps and also leeches, ewww...
I think this is the holiday where i bought the most books and also read the most books. But i have to say my most favourite book will be Vampire Academy. :D
I really love it!!! The series consisted of 6 books but i only had five, it was my aunt's books, and i finished reading it by 7 days. The story was so addictive, currently, i'm reading the final book online, man, i really can't wait to finish reading it, i love romance and also adventure. :) Here's some pictures of what books that i've read during November... 

That's the end of Part 1 .. can't wait to write Part 2. :)

Home at last

Finally ...

Exams over!! finished wednesday, did packing and my flight was thursday. And now im with my beloved family. The holidays begin.. Went out with my mom and sisters today. It was fun. 

Tomorrow morning going to church and going to visit my grandpa. 

WOW... Can't believe all of this is over, finally. My second year of degree is over, and next year will be the third year. More challenges to come but i will overcome it because i know how to. 

Now, i want to forget anything related to studies and stress and just relax and have fun with my family. SO far, everything's doing great. Being at home has never been such a good thing. I love the comfort of home. Well, I guess that's it for today. I have so many things to catch up with, a good example, my reading!! I bought so many books during this book fair and now i really want to finish reading it .. Bye and God bless..

Alone, for a reason

Like any other days ...

(Sometimes i really feel like this, we can't deny it. But now i know that God is always watching over me. Amen!! no copyright intended, just sharing)

Had my exam today, the last paper is on Wednesday and later its home im going!! Everyday is a challenge, it has a challenge of its own. I, am still trying to control my temper, its unpredictable but as long as i could keep it cool i will. So many things have been going on in my mind lately. I keep getting hints that my mr. right is coming any time now. Of course, when things like that happen, we will be out of our mind thinking about when, where, how and why and so on. But the more i think about it the more crazy i feel. Because till now nothing happened. Once in a while i will get this feeling of loneliness and slowly fall into depression. But ever since i did my devotional daily and reading verses that could help me cope with this 'sickness', i began to feel better, and trust me i had done a lot during my past time. I cooked, knitted, read books and even went out solo. It felt great and challenging. Most people won't agree with me going out alone but i feel a need for it, i feel so free to do and go wherever i want to. But i guess the greatest thing is to know that the Lord will never abandon us. I read from a site stating that if we feel lonely and depressed this is because there is something wrong with our relationship with God. Hence, if you are so desperate to be in a relationship just to get away from this feeling, the site suggest you take another deep long look with your relationship with the Lord. I did and i felt better, i think it's because i always take things for granted. Now, my free time instead of spending it by thinking negative thoughts i will exchange it with useful activities and also thinking about the Lord's goodness. There is a reason we are still single. I've always dreamt of serving the Lord but i don't know how, but i guess now i know, i need to be obedient and this time, REALLY trust HIM. Many times i have swayed away. Seriously, i did a lot of nonsense things just to spend the boring weekends away. 

Tips: Search the web for a list of things you should do when you're free, trust me i've tried many of them and its a great way to get all those negative thoughts away from you. 

For now, i feel much comforted than i had in weeks because i know i'm blessed and that the Lord has a purpose in doing everything. Like what He said in Jeremiah 11:29. :) Have faith in Him and be amazed as He works wonders in your life today!!!
