Movie marathon

Yesterday, I went to this new mall called City One Mega Mall. It was still new and I had been waiting for so long to go there because it was new!! Haha, anyway, my sisters and I had to waited till we got back from kampong.
So, the day after we got back, we went out. The place was still quite empty and the main attraction was of course the GSC cinema. It was big and pretty and very cold. I regretted not bringing my sweater and my sister even had to buy one because she really couldn't stand it anymore. We really had fun. First we went to Sugar Bun, which was the only place that sold food, i mean, like rice. It was approaching noon and we haven't had our stomach filled yet.

Before that we had already bought our tickets, 3 movies in a row!!! We didn't realise it was night already when we came out from our last movie. It was also raining.. :-/
1. Epic 3D
2. Fast and Furious 6
3. Star trek into the darkness

I've watched Star trek already but then i really wanted to watch it again, it was just awesome and I'm seriously and weirdly addicted to Spock, or rather the person acting as him. :)
Below are the pictures of the movies...

(Really loved all the 3 movies ...)
Below are some pictures for memories~~~

(Me and my sisters... :D ) 

(I'm also in love with Khan a.k.a Benedict Cumberbatch.. hehe) 

Shocking experience

I just wanted to share what I had experience when I was in my Kampong during Gawai. The experience was weird and I don't care if no one believes this.
Well here it goes:

"Today is the third day I am in kampong and it’s the first day of Gawai, so Selamat Hari Gawai to those who are celebrating. I had this shocking experience that I think or maybe I will never forget about it.

It was Gawai morning and so I got up reasonably early, bathed and changed into my so-called new clothing. Applied light makeup and out I went, to serve the guests that came to my home.

After awhile, my dad and his friends came to the house and after serving them, my mom and sisters and I went to the kitchen to have a break from the hectic morning. Suddenly this uncle came and he was drunk. He borrowed the toilet. When he walked out he suddenly just sat in front of us all and gave us a lecture. I don’t know how to explain this but here goes the story.

He told me not to get married too early, or early. I should first tour the whole world and see the world before I settle down. Initially that was my idea because I gave up on the idea of having a boyfriend at the moment of time or for the time being. He also mentioned about his daughter going to Bali, England and so many other places and I should be like her, don’t rush when it comes to marriage, and because when I want to travel later part, my husband might not want to come with me or even allow me to go.

My mom started to become dramatic and said all kind of things. I agreed with her but she made me feel goose bumps all over.

After that, there was my cousin (ONE) she asked if I have any boyfriend or not and of course I said ‘no’. She encouraged me to go and find one, saying that the internet is a good option also. Well, this is different from the first advice.

The last one came from my cousin also, cousin (TWO) she is married and already has two lovely children, a boy and a girl. Before she left, she told me not to settle down too early. She said that once you have children, like her, it wouldn’t be easy to move around, and she pointed to her kids, because they were eager to get out of our house and look for their daddy.

In conclusion, I guess perhaps God answered my prayer, the prayer that I had sent to him a long time ago. The answer is simple, He wants me to wait. After all that I’ve went through, I guess the answer is what I’ve been waiting for. I’m tired of chasing and wanting things that aren’t mine. I’m tired and I think God knows I’m not ready. Coming to think of it, I myself don’t think I’m ready.

Well, today had been extraordinary. 

Well, the above was what I can recall back. And also, when I returned home and went online I saw this picture and I just know that He is telling me something. I believe we must all have our doubting moments, but then again I just decided to trust in HIM... 

What the picture said,

Don't take "finding" a man or a relationship into your own hands. Pairing you with His best for your life is EASY. But because God understands TIMING, it's dangerous to step out on your OWN time and date a bunch of random people that... He never told you to go out with. You then experience ALL of this hurt, soul ties, drama, get a broken heart, and whatever else...all while Christ is sitting there and saying "I had nothing to do with these men. I will restore you and make you whole... but you have GOT to stop trying to control your life". God has NOT forgotten about you, have you forgotten to trust Him?

(Praise God?? My answer is "AMEN"!!!!!! ) Good night and God bless~~

Selamat Hari Gawai

Here I want to take this opportunity to wish all a very happy Gawai... :)

I went back to my kampong in Serian, my kampong's name is Kampung Seruit for 5 days and it was fun. For the first time I actually enjoy serving people when they come visiting to my house. 

I just want to share some pictures that I've taken while I was there. (The pictures are not sorted according to the dates)

 (This was taken a day before Gawai, my dad was BBQing, smoke can be seen, and the weather was getting darker, which rained eventually, luckily, everything was done before the rain came)

 (This were the food that was BBQed. We had hot dogs, chicken wings and most importantly, PORK!!!)

 (This was Gawai Eve, we always light candles at night. Actually i don't know what's the reason behind it, have to ask my dad to make sure)

 (This was taken on the second day of Gawai, finally my family and I went visiting. My mom was eating "pulut" and duck, yummy!!)

(This was also taken on the second day, we visited my aunty's house, the highlight of this picture is the 'arak', which is the main attraction of visiting. Of course, children are not allowed to drink, but as an adult you must at least have a beer or a small glass of tuak or arak.)

(This was taken on the first day of Gawai. These boys were among the first visitors that came to my house. They were a naughty and lively bunch but as you could see, they were enjoying themselves, and i was their server, heheh...) 

(This was also on the second day, my dad in the striped shirt and my mom, the blue blouse, wearing specs. she'a a chinese. I guess I just have the best of both worlds, despite what people say) 

I can say that this Gawai was much fun, particularly because before going back to the kampong, which actually I didn't enjoy much because there was no internet line and cellphone line. But then, I thought twice and think that if I were to think positively, maybe things weren't turn out too bad. I guess I could say that things were superb :) 

Memories during Semester 5

Since it's the holidays and because I didn't have the time to update my blog for a long time, here goes nothing! I will post pictures that have been going on throughout my semester 5 life.

(See all those pictures? There was like rainbows, practically everwhere!! Amazing but sad to say it wasn't that clear, lousy phone camera. But it was so huge and so breathtakingly beautiful! There were about 3 or 4 rainbows in different places. These are taken back in KK, my campus)

Anugerah pelajar cemerlang

It was and will always be by God's grace that I received my very first anugerah pelajar cemerlang. I really thank God for giving me such a great blessing, despite all the suffering I went through. The event was successful, except for the waiting part. It was a great memory to remember this year. . :-)

(Great experience and who knows what God has in mind for us right? Surrendering myself wholly to Him)

Besides that, throughout this semester, I came to learn, the hard way, that we should put all our worries and troubles to God. Let him do the talking, the handling. It's very simple, all we have to do is wait. But I didn't know that, I just had to do something, or else I feel life is wasted away. But then, God's way will always be different from us, and the answer I always get is asking for my obedience. I still find it hard to do so because we can't see and we believe in something we've never seen. I guess that's why in the Bible it said that we live by faith not by sight. In fact, there's so many things in life that I can't explain and don't understand. Yup, till this very day I don't know why bad things happen to me and why life is never fair to me. I've done all that's requested and yet nothing comes by easily. I learnt my lesson mostly through the hard ways. 

But at the end of the day, I still survived and I am confident that it's through God's grace that I am where I am today. I know I don't sound convincing enough because I'm not, but what I DO know that is whenever I have a problem and I search the Bible for an answer, somewhere and somehow the answer will always come out. I don't believe in coincidence because everything happens for a reason. Therefore, I guess it's faith building for me. 

"I just have to close my eyes and walk towards where God is leading me, and most of the time, I feel like I'm walking on thin ice. I don't know what to expect and I don't know what is waiting for me up ahead. The only thing I know for sure is that when I finally get to meet Him, every suffering and pain I've been through will be nothing, because the Bible says so".

There's this one verse I want to share which I got when I was in deep water:

1 Peter 1:6

 “So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while"

Take care and God bless :)

Arm warmers

At first I was thinking, what the heck am I knitting anyway? I was so afraid that it would end up becoming nothing because I myself can't even identify it. But thanks to my mom, I realised I used the wrong term, I thought what I was knitting would be "hand warmers" but actually it's called "Arm warmers". I guess I will always be a beginner in knitting but it's ok because I don't have enough time to learn and also I've been learning from the internet. Hence, not much, only the basics. :-)
 It's been like almost 2 years plus since I learnt knitting on my own, the reason, is because of this korean drama. Funny but true, the title, if not mistaken is "Mary stayed outside the whole night". I was so captivated but the way she knitted scarfs and gloves so fast and it was so beautiful.
Well, here are some pictures of the "Arm warmers" that I'm knitting, one side is already done and the pattern, I created it myself, had a hard time estimating the correct size.

How I wish

It's the school holidays now, a.k.a also my holidays too... :) The worst gift you can receive is getting sick. And that was what I got when I first arrived back home from KK. Urgh~ Don't know what went into me. Thank goodness I wasn't sick during the exams. Anyways, I had to spend the following Saturday lying in bed almost the whole day. On Sunday I was feeling much better but still not strong enough to bath, my mom's philosophy, or else my lungs will be filled with water. I don't know, it differs according to different people, because when my friend had a fever, she would immediately go and take a bath. Oh well, thank God I am healed already.
Hence, my holidays is officially beginning. Actually I didn't plan to do anything fun this holiday because I just had no time to think about other stuffs thanks to the exams.
However, I did managed to knit a pair of socks for my mom and she really likes them. SO it motivated me to knit again. Now I'm knitting a set of hand warmers. And all of a sudden, this thinking just came to me. A promise that I made to my mom long ago, that when i started working I would bring her to the place of her dreams, Switzerland.
I could now imagine the blue and green mountains and the cold and crisp air. Hmm~~~ If it's God's will I would really like to go there with my mom. Of course, dragging myself back to the present, I need to study hard, next year I'll be finally graduating after 5 1/2 years of training. Really learnt a lot during those years and I really appreciated all the trials and tribulations that had landed on me because I really learnt to love and appreciate people and things around me.
I guess I learnt that we should not take things for granted because it is only when it's gone we will regret it and as always, it's already too late.

Planning for this holidays:

MOVIE TIME!!!

My sisters were like crazy because there this movie that they would really love to watch and that is "Epic". And another one would be "Fast and Furious 6". I heard a lot of positive comments about it and I'm like, "GOSH! Can't wait to watch it soon!" 

KNITTING TIME

Well, since I'm knitting a set of hand warmers, I guess I want to knit some more socks and also winter hats. Yeah, I was never the same as normal girls my age, and so I also have hobbies that most people would consider as 'boring' and comments like, "Man, you're like an old lady". Well, I've received that kind of comments before, but Hye, "It's their rights and their mouths to say whatever they want to". SO besides, I like and enjoy what I'm doing so nothing can stop me. What's important is that my family supports what I'm doing and I can still manage my time well, (remember I said I knitted socks during exam week? It's a really good thing to ease the tension you know, hehe)

How I wish~.~

Well, this is the main topic of the day. Sometimes, I really wish I could be some place alone, where there's no one and I can speak my mind confidently to God without worrying people might call me crazy. And also I would REALLY LOVE to get some peace once in a while. If only I have enough money to begin with, I can barely survive with my allowances, thank God for my parents. Here are some pictures of which I would really like to be whenever I'm stressed and weary. I guess the scenery itself is more than enough to life one's spirit's up, look at the scenery you could really imagine you are physically there.. I hope I could actually go to all these places some day soon..

Just looking at the pictures make me want to cry for no reason. It's simply too beautiful. Look at God's wonderful handiwork... :-) 

God Bless and take care~ ~

Away Semester 5

Finally, just finished my last paper for this semester yesterday, I did my best and so the rest is up to Him..
These few weeks have been just rough. Studying have never been more hard because of the practicum we only focused on school and after two weeks it was the exam. Luckily we only had 3 papers, study and pray that time will fly, everything was over and I feel so relax now. I'm almost done with packing to go back home. Feeling lonely at the same time because both of my roommates have already went back.
Now it's only me and my lappy.. :) Let's have a good time together shall we?

Speaking of practicum, I really had a great time, minus all the hard work and stress the kids caused. But it was all worth it because at the end of the day, I realised that "Yeah", perhaps teaching is for me. We never know what God has in mind for us.

(These are my boys, Yup, taught in boy's school,imagine the stress level = ='', plus they are just Year 2)

But all went well, it's all for the experience and from this one, I really and i mean REALLY learn a lot of new techniques on how to control the classroom, but of course still not perfect and believe me, throughout that ne month I've tried almost ALL the theories I've learnt, turned out none of them really worked, hmm.. so much for creating theories, only sounds good on pape, but not in real life though.

Well, got to go now.. God bless~~
