Met up with my college buddies the other day and we were just comparing our working lives since we graduated. I had mixed feelings about all that they shared. And I must admit that I do miss a tiny weeny bit of corporate life. Yes it's a rat race out there, stuffed with traffic jams, late nights in office, office politics, etc. but sometimes it feels good to engage in corporate talks, wearing that smarty suit of yours. Anyway, I told myself that I don't wanna grow old so quickly by joining the rat race. It's a blessing to be at home and indulge in my favourite past time. haha.. Among them is the privilege to catch up with my drama shows and reading. Girls...you must watch 'Emerald on the Roof'. Why? coz the main actor in there is super CHUNTED! And as the love story unveils, it's very touching when the couple can't be together due to various reasons. They sacrificed their love for commitments which their parents had made for them. Sad...sad...The series is coming to an end soon and the worst part is I already knew the ending. It's not the live-happily-everafter sort of ending. So tragic i tell you...

When you look at this pic, no need to eat for 3 days also no problem..

love

To love is to forgive when that person who has wronged u does not really deserve it.

And not only to forgive, but repeat this act over and over again (according to the bible, it's 70 x 7 times) no matter how undeserving it seems.

It is an untiring act and grace poured out unceasingly.

Yes..that's what love means. It's a choice made, not based on emotions and feelings.

It's easier said than done. And I believe God has caused that disaster to happen so that I may catch a glimpse of how gracious our Lord Jesus is. How many times has He forgave me of my sins and wrongdoings...when I don't deserved it, I'm not even worthy to untie the thong of His sandal.

Yeah folks, don't worry about me. Even as I'm typing this, I've already forgiven that person. No, it's not my significant other who has caused the disaster, so don't bash him up yeah? Haha..

Thank you Lord for being so real to me and going through this with me. You taught me how to love, to forgive and to be more like You.

It's really amazing how God deals with your problems and your deep issues inside you. His approach is personal, subtle and tailored to you that no professional psychologist can beat Him! Yes, this is the God that I believe in-Mighty Counsellor and Prince of Peace who can contain your buckets of tears.

I crave for success and perfection. The competitiveness in me turns ugly into kiasu-ness which lurks in my heart. Sigh...It's hard to be broken down and eat the humble pie. But that's what God will do when you pray that dangerous prayer of Lord, mould me and shape me to be more like You. Yea, so be prepared when we pray for God to move in our lives. Though the admonishing part is painful it's worth it when you reach the finale of the race...So hang on people..God will carry us through.

argh!

Argh! You're so small and insignificant, or at least that was how I thought about you before I lose you! Sigh..And I can't seem to function properly without you.

I guess that's why they gave me a duplicate of you..coz they know i'm bound to lose you one day. Sooner or later...

well..u readers may be wondering who i'm talking about. I'm talking about my stylus. Yes, I lost it. How could I right? Argh!

happee..

The best way to cure your emo mood is to have some good retail therapy. Yes, it really did helped me. And I know why Aussie folks can buy up to 10 sandals in the shopping mall in KL at one go..tell me who can resist shoes that are on bargain? less than 30 bucks for a pair! and flats for less than 15! woo..come to think of it, I know why my old sandals started to give way at this point in time..it's to be replaced by new ones..lol...
But I do feel guilty after buying two pairs in less than one hour...

overly sensitive, no?

I seem to be overly sensitive...by what?....by just one message?

Oh gosh..I can't believe I'm blogging about it even right now.

You know it's pretty frustrating yet amusing when someone send that will-u-be-my-valentine sort of message? I mean, come on, if you have the guts, why can't you just be bold and not be ashamed to tell me? Whether my answer is yes or no, at least you've done your part, right? Haha..the more I think about it, the stupider it feels. Oh well, nevermind. If it's not meant to be, it won't, right?

still contemplating how to reply that message..haha...should I reply with a hint of dry humour or just delete it???? Or probably I'm just over-sensitive....Argh..whatever..

my cuz...

yeah..meet them..my pretty cousins..who have tiny weeny eyes just like me :)

finally...

As promised...the pics from Seremban.

We had a really great time catching up with one another and laughing our heads off over silly A- level's jokes. All of us agree that A-levels was the best times we had growing up. So to those students who are dreading your A-levels, do appreciate it. Yes it may be stressful at times, but it's all worthwhile when you look back in 3 -5 years to come. You'll never have friends as silly and caring as those you made during A-levels. They'll be the ones whom you'll cling on in times of trouble. Of course they'll be the ones who'll laugh with you and share your joy as well. Anyway, i shan't reminisce too much of it now. Let the pics do the talking...oh yeah..and spot the differences between these ones and the ones taken during previous years'.Haha..
