legit reason to procratinate

yes. I should be studying. My next paper is on Monday but I am soooo tired from today's prac exam! PRAISE GOD that I passed and I even gathered the courage to pray with my partner! :) YAY! :) (thank you God for making it happen!)

Anyway, I have been playing these few songs during my study sesh.

Fireworks - Katy Perry

Count on Me - Bruno Mars

Arithmetics - Brooke Fraser

Seasons of Love - Rent

First Love - Paradise

GLEE!

(sorry for the lousy tech skills, otherwise if i know how to, i would let you click to it, so for now, if you're interested, just go youtube it yourself ;p )

I've also discovered some pretty amazing artists in my mega unfamiliar itunes playlist like, Corrine May, Jacks Mannequin and to my surprise, i have a bollywood song in it!

ok Munyee, get back to studying missy!

YOU make me smile!

Life. is. so. beautiful.

I was doing dishes the other day. Jon, Ash and Sooks were sitting at the dining table, watching some youtube of possibly some Chinese artist and digging into the tub of strawberry icecream that never seems to reach the end.

I stepped back, took myself out of the picture.

And I realised.. if only the moment could freeze for a tad bit longer, before we bury our heads behind books again... ahhh.

It was like the tub of icecream. We can literally freeze the moments, because before we know it, it will start to melt. So, eat it while it's still cold!! Hence, in that few seconds, I thanked God for amazing people He surrounds me with.

On the combine service weekend, we went out to this super yummy, death by grease, awesome, uber bright pink American diners . Well, we took a massive detour whilst deciding but hey, I'm not complaining. Joyriding, indeed! Fully loving the new car - Dave and Li. YAY! now you can come pick me up and send me home! woot!! But, anyway, I am sooo excited that it is actually only less than one month away before Dave bids the tv in his room goodbye and welcomes his beautiful wife. I am so excited!!!! I am sooo excited (and it's not even my wedding! hahha)

That day, as I sat opposite them, and as I gaze across, this warm sense of fuzziness that is sweeter than the milkshakes that we ordered came upon me. I dont know why or how to describe it either. Perhaps its just the simple things in life, in sharing meals, going on car rides and gazing across the table. Or maybe it's just the discovery that they sell Gobbler

s (is that how you spell it? the peanutbutter and jelly in a tub jam spread thingy) or just the fact that you know- friendship doesnt change despite the chugging along of life.

I love this couple to bits! 29 days to go!! WOOT~

I've got sooo much more to write and so many more little things that make me smile to share. God has been so good to me!

Sunshine.

Car rides.

Sweet surprises in the mail.

Skype and immediate email responses to make sure that I'm coping ok.

Lunch breaks and outside day (and me ended up being a grass head!).

Early mornings and good nights.

YOU MAKE ME SMILE :)

Eph 2

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Was reading eph 2 this morning and was just so amazed by the fact that

WE HAVE ...
and WE ARE ...

It is so easy in this materialistically driven world to say what we do not have or what we are lack of but in reality, we do have more than what is sufficient.
It is so easy to see who we are not, and wanting to be who we are not called to be. You strive and all the things just wont come your way but instead, negativity, anger, frustration, worry comes tumbling over. If we do realise that WE ARE a child of the most high God, His amazing workmanship, and the fact that we are not worthless.. Imagine the change of atmosphere!

My favourite verse for today is this. May we learn to walk in it.

"For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit" - Eph 2:18 -

MUN YEE SHALL BE DISCIPLINED!

YES! with approx 2 weeks, i am doing my papers, i should perhaps be more discipline and really hit the home run with this yes?

I am already counting down to nov 5th!
and that's when my family arrives too!!!! :) :) I told mum yesterday that I'd like her to meet my friends.

Mum : yeaaa, of course of course

Me: then you can meet all these people that I've been trying to tell you about.

Mum: and your B-O-Y (she so cute, she literally spelt it out)

Me: WHAT? B-O-Y? :S

Mum: We will have a proper talk when I get over.

Me thinking to myself: Should I be worried?

Mothers are soooo good at knowing how their daughters are going. Even when you dont talk to them for ages, they just have this amazing mother intuition hey?

So, if you'd like to meet my family, come line up now and book in your timeslot for interview!! (i'm only kidding!)

but yes! less 20 days till i finish my accademic year!




(ok. i lied. i've got placements at summer!! POOHBUM!!)

I cried because ..

Last night, I cried and it kinda felt good after that. It has been a while where I cried myself to sleep but it's a good point of release of what is inside. Dont worry, I am totally fine now. It just needs to come out.

Well, last night, I cried because..

David, our Brit urbie, will be returning to London in 10 days. It hurts saying goodbye and I totally suck at farewell. I think i could possibly be the only person that balled my eyes out yday during urbs. Such a softy. But that's also because our lives had crossed and seeing him around has been a routine. I guess, I'm not ready for the missing british accent, or the little chuckle around the corner when I thought no one saw the silly thing i embarrassed myself with.
but above all, what he said during his speech was what moved me the most and being the second reason I cried last night.

He said I told him that he was in Melbourne for a reason. (honestly, when he pointed at me, I totally could not remember what had i said to him at camp!) I was like shucks, it better be something of God and something good. And, phew! true enough, it was ok. But it hit me,

God can and wants to use me.

For the reasons that I have entertained and thought that I was not moving in the Spirit, they are all LIES! This week in itself, I have been sooo stirred by Beat, Ngan and a few others to just really know that I can run the race well. God is still Sovereign and ultimately, it is really not about me. A lot of times, when I pray for people, things just come to me and I speak it out, not sure if it actually made sense, but last night, God reminded me that they do! and it was Him speaking, of course it made sense. OHHH! I just want so much more of that.

I wanna walk in the supernatural. I wanna see the outpouring of heaven. I wanna see Jesus.

Lisa Bevere, tweeted this yeseterday. So profound. Ponder upon that!
" Disturb us Lord when we are too well pleased w/ourselves, when our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little. Francis Drake"

And, well, the one more reason that I cried last night, was just the fact that I am so blessed with amazing people around me. I am surrounded by people who love me and people who look out for me. They stand in the gap for me and they believe in me. They call me PRINCESS, like how God would call me, remind me the position I have in Christ, follow me on twitter and read my blogs just to find out how am I doing. Longs for Sunday just so that they could see me. They tell me the things that are harsh and straight to my face just so that I dont get hurt in the future. Share my and their joys and misadventures... And so much more! This in itself overwhelmed me and throw me off my game I dont even know how to respond to it but to say thank you and thank You! Little things do go a LOONNNNGGG way in Munyee's cupcake world.

Ngan shared a message of a cracker yesterday.
Expect.
Be hungry.
Passion.

it feels like God is just stirring so much more in me.
it feels like
I am filled to be emptied again
The seed I recieved I will sow.

Hide - Joy Williams

You dont have to hide.
You dont have to hide anymore.
You dont have to face this alone.

Come out and join the rest of us,
you've been alone for too long.

Amazing Grace

saw this on Dant's blog. AMAZING!

i love how technology works. makes home so much closer to the heart :)

totally looking forward to the day when we start singing worship at home together as a family. i know it is near!

Friends like you, are for FOREVER!

i just had the best time talking to my best friends on skype. it felt soooo good to be talking like there's no tomorrow with the three of them!

we cant help but talk about the future and the exciting things that God has planned for us. And the beauty of it is, we never fail to include each other, like it is without a doubt that our friendship will never change. i love it!

Even when the world crumbles down on me or when i'm faced with bees, i know God has sent me you, to always have shoulders to cry on, to hug me and to tell me that things will be ok again. Thank goodness for whats app, skype and all the goodness that technologies has offered, you are not so far away.

Counting down to the day we finally see each other! xx
