friends :)
thank God for the people He placed in my life. Good old friends and new friends.
i love making new friends and getting to know more people. but yet, i also love getting to know people more. there's always golden moments when you bond with old friends. makes you appreciate what you have and let you realised what a long way you've come.
camp was awesome. part of it was because of the above. seeing how old friends were completely transformed and new friends drawing closer to the heartbeat of God. It's amazing and something within my heart stirs.
did i tell you also that i've learnt to make my very own first coffee using the coffee machine? :D yea!! i can make coffee now. you be the judge and let me know if it's good :p

BEAUTIFUL :)
I had the most amazing experience on Monday when i just finished work. As usual, i was going to catch the bus home from work and u know, feeling a little tired. with the groceries i bought from this asian store and chocolates for fund raising, my mind was just running with heaps of to do lists and praying that the grocery bags wont break.
So, the bus came along after a short wait and i hopped onto it. there, was the friendliest bus driver i've ever met. the moment i stepped into the bus, i tot i'll be nice and say " hi". usually the bus drivers would just acknowledge it and ignore me after 2 sec. but this guy, he was fully like " HI BEAUTIFUL! How are you?"
i was fully stunned and fully grinning. chatted for a while and headed off to my seat. my mind was then drifted off with sms-ing people and the things i need to do before camp. soon enough, we reached monash and i needed to hop off.
As i was really kind *cough cough*, (and also the fact that i dun want my cheapo lousy thin plastic bag full of groceries to burst) i let others get off before me. the bus driver called me to use the front door. i didnt give much consideration to it so i went. Then, he started talking to me even more.
BD (Bus Driver) : you know what? you're the most beautiful girl i've met! (or something like that. cant really remember the exact words)
ME : ... (laughing to myself and also in embarassment)
BD : What's your name?
Me : Mun Yee
BD : That's a beautiful name. Have I picked u up before?
Me : Well, maybe. i take this bus to work quite often. maybe you did
BD : What course are you doing? you studying yea?
Me : I'm doing nursing and paramedics double degree down in monash peninsula. And as you can see. i do travel a bit.
BD : wow. i reckon u'll be such a good nurse. (turns to this other guy in the bus) dont you think she'll be an amazing nurse?
other guy : yea!!
Me : (laughing) Hope so.
BD : If i had something happen to me now, and if you're the paramedic who comes and tend to me, i'll prolly be going to heaven immediately.
ME : (talking to myself in my heart)- hope not. (continues laughing) Nahhhhhhh.
BD : do you have a boy friend. i'm sure there's heaps of boys going after you. look at you. so beautiful (or some what) if i was back in my 25s i would definitely go after you but now, i'm like 55 , old fart, surely there's heaps of guys going after you.
Me : (LAUGHING EVEN MORE) haha. no. i dont have a boyfriend and there's no guys going after me.
BD : then it must be you being too busy in your studies or work.
Me : yea. gonna concentrate and focus on these before getting a bf.
BD : good girl.
... laughing and slight conversation continues.
BD : do remember to say hi next time if you jump on this bus.
ME : yea sure. you definitely made my day. have a good night.
BD : see ya beautiful.
His name is Martin by the way. i made a friend :)
Seriously, it made my day. well, my night more like it. i was just like wow. cant believe i am that beautiful in the eyes of that man. and i wasnt even putting any effort in dressing up or anything. i was in my dirty working clothes and just trying to lug my groceries home. nothing too special. but it's amazing how there's power in words and how one thing said can change the feelings of another person :) dun get me wrong, i am not like fully flattered over this one incident. like flying off the roof for someone saying that i'm pretty. i know i am beautiful because God created me :D
it's amazing how God can speak through people. on monday night itself, i crashed. something happened and i couldnt believe wat my ears wat sending into my brains. my thoughts ran wild. i was in a position where i duno what to do or what is left to do. i cried out. but i just love how gentle Jesus' response is. how sweet and perfect.
"Look up, beautiful" and He dried my tears.

CLINICAL PLACEMENT no.1
i had my placement yesterday. less towards the academical side now. i've gotta journal it as my homework later. in all, it was good. i went on the ambulance, went on the road with the crew and really got to see REAL stuff happening! seriously.. i think i've been in such a blessed situation and the worst thing was that i never really appreciate them and have been taking them for granted. going out on this placement really got me thinking a lot. a lot about me and life and people and God.
prior to it, i was really nervous. i was SCARED! all i could do is just to ask God to prepare me and look after me. got heaps of ppl praying for me. thanks jo. u know how much it meant to me rite?
i was really afraid that i'm going to come across death face to face. well, if you're not sure wat my job is, i'll tell you now. being a paramedics is going on EMERGENCY situations in light of easing that situation. where people draw the line and consider an "emergency" however, may vary. yet, could you see the picture i'm painting? i would be out on the road, on my FIRST observer shift, handling people with pain, uneasiness, trauma or medical conditions and perhaps, even death. can u imagine that? i never really thought how serious it could be until this week. IT'S REAL HUMAN BEING LIFE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE! you are expected to do something when emergency come. public expects you to carry hope and life. i know where it comes from. but i'm scared. i was very scared to get a cardiac arrest or a code 0 - death. i mean i do wanna open up my perspective and learning experiences but i was caught in the dilemma. i just couldnt get over the fact that it's a SOMEBODY and a SOMEONE we're resusitating. the patient there is someone's beloved, ok?! most importantly, God's. i dun wanna imagine the pain and emotions the family and friends who have to go through if indeed such case happen.
thank God, i didnt get a code 1 - immediate life threat. some of the students may be all disappointed that nothing "interesting" happen. yea, getting a code 1 is indeed interesting and eye opening and exciting. but hey.. it's a person we're talking about here! once we lost him, then we're completely separated then! how scary! imagine being on the person's shoes!!
anyway, in my shift of 7 hrs, i was out seeing 3 patients. 1st was abdominal pain, 3rd was a lady with hip injuries. the second patient ... she broke my heart. suffering from breast cancer, she called in for help cause she had problems with her breathing. her condition has metaphysised to her lungs and bones. it is in a very advanced stage. it was my ultimate first time seeing a person going through cancer. i was astound. she must have had gone through so much. her eyes, her hair loss, her body giving in told me how much she had gone through. the fact that she's still very young and would perhaps have a brighter future if she's healthy adds more to the greyness of this matter. it's as though she tries fighting but yet knew that her body gave in. i duno. i didnt even really dare to talk much to her cause i'm just so taken aback by seeing the first person in the most vulnerable state of fighting cancer. her parents were on the scene when we arrived. i was so sad seeing them. parents will always be parents. when your child is sick, it hurts them more. wat more a cancer that turned into a dreadful secondary one. it was sad and i didnt know wat to do or wat to say. i could only say a prayer for her in my heart and await for God's healing touch.
it got me thinking alot. what are we doing with our lives here? are we making a stand? are we making an impact? somethings are in God's hand and it all happens according to His plans. i could only ask for His wisdom and annointing to be with me. yesterday reminded me of the value of life. life is short and it can be challenging. are you appreciating it? are you living to what God has called you to? it does not mean take out all the fun. it means know your purpose. shake the planet.
it was like an eye-opening experience to my shallow contended self-contained world. time to get up.

EASTER AND CAMP :D
What is Easter and what does it mean to you? in Planetkids, we watched this movie, a Veggietales :D i wasnt brought up in a Christian family, hence never really knew what it was and never got to watch these cartoons. Tat's y i enjoyed it as much as the kids.
This sums it up so well. i nearly teared *sniff sniff* MAKE SURE U WATCH THIS k?!!
God has been working in my heart alot recently. I know a lot of people around me doesnt really get it. why am i being so religious or why am i so into Christianity. perhaps you were thinking, I could simply live a life without God, that was like how I were before you were a Christian. i was happy and contented. YET, the fact is i cant. I tried talking myself out but the reality is that i cant. God is SO REAL. I cant deny the truth. He speaks to me, teaches me about life and above all, He loves me. Course i'm not trying to be all holy and all church-ish, but dont u see the change? if i could let you view Him through my life as though it was a tv show, i so would rewind and let you see when He was there and answered all my prayers. now, living without Him as a part of me would just be so empty. There were times when you try filling your life with people, events, materials to numb the hole inside. i knew i did, with people. once they were gone, or when they said something unexpected unintentionally, my heart was shattered and it ached so badly and i would have it stay in my mind for ages. now, i learnt that man could fail you but God never fails. He comforts. Ah, Jesus is just so good.
He has been pointing things that wasnt quite right in my heart, trying to mould be into a better person. of course the moulding process wasnt easy. when He breaks you as He shapes you, it surely didnt happen overnight. Giving up certain things, change my focus, spending more time at the beneficial things and heaps more are certainly for the better. it's amazing how God takes you through different journey and He will take you out of the valley. this year, i felt like i'm being stretched to doing more things above my capacity. I've been given more responsibilities but in the same time, i'm given more strength too :D
I do feel bad for not managing my time as well, didnt get to spend as much time with my family and friends. but i am trying to improve. i still love you guys lots. i'm trying to sow more time in prayers for you :D i wanna pray for you more!! but on the other hand, i'm also trying to catch up with my studies. it is a really interesting course and i'm really enjoying it. i really cant wait to learn more and put my skills into practice. wat i really cant wait is to see THE POWER OF GOD'S HEALING, and the priviledge of me bringing out His miracles and also His LOVE. oh oh oh! you know wat?? i've learnt CPR, taking blood pressures, washing my hands (the pro way of washing k? dun play play) , making beds and played with the stretcher. i am really excited about wat i'm doing :)
ANyway, i been on planetkids CAMP RED! it's amazing how God moved. I so wanted more for them and things happened!! these kids that have been placed under my care are all AMAZING kids. they are all so gorgeous and i just love them even more :D :D cant wait to see how God is going to take them deeper. they are just so innocent and they believe just because they believe. so pure. if kids can meet Jesus face to face and hear from Him, why cant we just remove our doubts and push past the crowd? He is waiting to answer the desperate heart cries of yours. Why cant you see His outstretched arms?
"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you,and they know that you have sent me, I have made known to them and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."

it's weird isnt it when you could just keep yourself awake trying to ponder upon things that doesnt really make sense when your body is super tired and is calling out for u to go to bed? it amazingly pushes past physical bariers.
anywayz... had planetkids vision launch + breaky today. my goodness. it was absolutely amazing. God spoke straight right through my heart. there are OBSTRUCTION in us, in me particularly. i reckon it is time to FULLY and COMPLETELY let go and LET GOD. i've been trying, depending on my own strength yet i'm not going anywhere. revelation hit me the other day when i was talking to jo, that i can only do so much and the rest of it, it's completely up to God to change me, to change me from the inside out. it's a lil like u're a diabetic and you have sweet tooth, you know chocolates are bad for you, yet, you cant resist the temptation of it. BUT you know wat? there's always grace that enables you to. SO, i'm choosing now, to walk in it.
I'm sorry Lord, for the things I've done.
Give me a pure heart to not waver to the left or the right.
Carry me home.
cant wait for the EXPLOSION!! :)

it's all buried inside
and i hate it
cos i cant read between the lines.
my inner girl is crying out
for a lil hug and a lil touch
if you care at all, a lil assurance is more than enough.
if you see me now,
could u even tell,
i'm curling in my corner
waiting for your shoulder.
where are you and You? i'm searching for something far and new.
this journey is seemingly getting harder. Or is it just me complicating it?
obedience comes with a price. and i duno how long can i stand. i need His strength and a whole heap of encouragement. cos i dun wanna step ahead, i dun wanna walk out of His grace.
Hide me now
under the shadow of your wings.

GOING GOING GONE
heading back to melbourne today. a month or two ago, i would prolly have a "finaalllyyy" added to the back of it. but then, now. maybe not as much. God really has everything in planned so that I would learn greater things.
jo prayed for me last night. i felt some stirring within me. something i hadnt felt for somewhile now. i was ignited with a desperation for His touch. it made me anticipate church more on sunday. i'm expecting to see God's power and miracles. i need one.
could u believe that i'm leaving in like less than 12 hours time?
could u also believe that i hadnt pack a single thing?! haha :P last minute packer! ;)
sometimes, i think i'm alil too naive. to think that it was even possible. oh well. see what happens! haha.

I'M A BLESSED CHILD
when i tot tat i'm left alone at the corner, God proves that HE cares. i am blessed with so many things just today and the past fews :D sometimes, i think being born on the feb 29th is just such a marvelous thing :)
went out with the new expanded family members of our AMs gang -elwin and beatrice. had dinner at centerpoint after both of them courageously drove all the way up to my place for the first time from cheras. JUST FOR ME! can u feel the love?!! (i hear a loud OHH YEA! ) we were so embarassing loud (common stuff for me ;P ) that we shoo-ed the customers away and got ourselves som angry stares from people around. oopsie. haha. but it was good. we even went to the small playground to take photos. it was great. i enjoyed their company!! HEAPS! photos with beatrice.so.. hopefully will upload soon.
and tonight, i had one of the greatest nights in my hols and the best bday celebration in the past 4 years :)
thanks to these wonderful gorgeous fantabulous lovely adorable ... people.
and they got me these cute pretty lil things as my bday cake.
*melts*

(i hear a loud OHH YEA! ) we were so embarassing loud (common stuff for me ;P ) that we shoo-ed the customers away and got ourselves som angry stares from people around. oopsie. haha. but it was good. we even went to the small playground to take photos. it was great. i enjoyed their company!! HEAPS! photos with beatrice.so.. hopefully will upload soon.

BACK FROM BANGKOK
i'm down with a flu. sick and currently home alone >.<
during this trip, i've learnt couple of things!
1. never go to thailand during chinese new year or any other festive seasons! it's PACKED with tourists.
2.try not to get sick when u're flying! it's so SOOO hard to balance the air pressure \
3. God has everything in place and in plan. perhaps going back late to melb is to spend more time with family? i duno. but it's been great.
emo.
i miss you. miss your loving and strong pressence that floods my heart. i'm so empty. i need your touch. for some while, i thought i was forgotten. i thought i wasnt important. teach me to live up to your expectations. i'm so scared, so unprepared.

WHAT'S NEXT?
currently.. i'm stuck at my mum's office. super bored. my bumm has been on this wooden chair for more than 3 hours. my back is aching. bad posture. blah blah blah.
anywayz.. just a quick update :)
even though i've been around to couple of places, i still felt that being in malaysia is somewat unproductive. but still.. i'm trying to make it better. trying to get more things done. trying to learn more, trying to widen up my experiences. but still, there's some hinderances. LAZINESS and TRANSPORT!! BAHHH
still.. seriously. i have to thank teck keong, desmond, my jimuis and all those who have driven me for always being so willing to take me around. cant imagine myself taking public and travelling under the hot sun, like how i used to in high school. but anyhoo.. the bus routes had changed i think. the number n fares are different from last time. reckon i'll get so lost if i just assumed n jumped on one! haha. still.. kl just scares me. i'm so pampered here :) wat to do. princess mar :P
anyhoo.. during the past few weeks, i've been actually quite active. come to serious thoughts. still.. been gaining heaps of weights due to the irresistable temptation of the evil chinese new year cookies n titbits! GRRR!! now.. achieving my pre-requisite fitness test will be a hard task. anywayzz... chinese new year so far has been pretty good. i'm getting heaps of angpaus. HEHEHE. well .. more than the past five years. u've gotta understand tat this is technically my first time in five years spending more than 2 days of cny in malaysia. so .. hip hip hooray to tat :)
chinese new year, to me, is a great way of spending time with family. great bonding times. now that few of my couz are overseas, this is the season when they come back and my chance to be with them :) it's just great :D
i'll upload some photos later.
apart from cny, if i backtracked, i've spent more time with my primary school frens this hols too :) i'm so proud of them!! still keeping in touch wiht so many ppl. we even went up to genting :) seriously, the bond is still there! amazing~ thank God!
also, i've been to sg chongkak with raymond, teck keong and beatrice. SOOOO FUN! will let the photos do the talk later also :)
one thing i realised this hols that watching drama series is a total waste of time! BOO!!! so addictive n so antisocial. sigh. y did i fall into the trap!! GRR.
hmmm .. i'll just update more after i've uploaded the photos.
off to bangkok tmr~!! YAYYYYYYY :) cant wait!! good food, shopping, here i come!! :)
oh ya. happy valentines day peeps! i love u!!

FIRE
Lord, i want the fire of God. Father God, i want to completely surrender myself to you and fear not the gazes of men. Lord Jesus, there are times when I have reserved. God, if there are parts when i served my dreams rahter than you, God, i pray that You'll remove them. Father, scrape off the impurity and work in my heart. put me through the heat and i thank you that i know i wont be going through it alone. Lord, thank you for affirming my calling. Father, thank you for loving me. Give me the courage to do what you have called me to and the strength to break through the case tat i'm enclosed in. Help me Lord, to give and to love.
Many hearts are hungry tonight
Many trapped in darkness
Yearn for the light
So many who are far from home
And so many who are lost
O Lord Your wounded children need
The power of Your cross
As bread that is broken
Use our lives
As wine that is poured out
A willing sacrifice
Empower us Father
To share the love of Christ
As bread that is broken Lord
Use our lives
Help us to begin where we are
Help us love the people
Near to our hearts
Then give our faith a mission field
Wherever You may call
Lord love Your world
Through each of us
Until we've touched them all
As wine that is poured out
As bread that is broken Lord
Use our lives

IN SEARCH OF SOMETHING PRECIOUS
i'm searching for 2 things at the moment. my beloved camera with lots of pictures back dated to sabah that i hadnt upload >.< CRAPPPP. so so sad.
the other, hurts my heart even more. seeing people i know going further and further from the light where we're all supposed to be walking in. i realised that i had been very very selfish. very very self-centered. recently, i walked past people, with a cant be bothered, there's-lots-of-time-left, maybe-someone-else-could-do-it lousy attitude. it's all so wrong. i had been consumed in my own world. literally, i had been in a nutshell, enjoying the unbeneficial attention, so shallow and GRRR. i cant believe of wat i had been up to for the past week. wat mindset had i been putting up on. i would really wanna flush myself in the toiletbowl. but i'm so glad God did what He wants.
the devil has tried to distract me with things. but no longer i'm under those fantacies. HELL NO! i've been woken up. i sense the urgency to GO. God is real. He opens a way. He WILL.
INDIA, i'll be there someday. kids, see the light. Jesus loves you and He is real.
Lord, I need Your grace and mercy.
I need to pray like never before.
I need the power of your holy spirit
To open Heaven's door.
Spirit touch Your church, stir the hearts of men.
Revive my soul with your passion once again.
I want to care for others
Like Jesus cares for me.
Let your reign fall on me, Oh Lord.
Let your reign fall on me.
Lord we humbly come before You.
We don't deserve of You what we ask.
But we long to see Your glory.
Restore this dying land.
if i'm so anxious about my camera with the beautiful memories, what more should i be when it comes to people?

BIDDING THE YEAR OF 2007
WELCOME 2008
finally.. i'm having the time to just reflect and think about the year now that all whole body is aching and i can barely move.. but i guess it's good as well. to sit down and be still. to think about the year and what has it meant to me. how can i improve.
random note:it's like pouring like mad out there and it's actually quite scary to be at home alone.. yet. somehow there's a part of me enjoying it. knowing that Jesus is with me :D
erhem. concentrate.
i guess the year 2007 in all has been a year full of learning experiences and growing opportunities. filled with love, smiles, tears, challenges, revelations, fall-flat-on-bed moments and lots more.
it surely wasnt a all smooth sailing and problems free year. but i really thank God tat there were times of mourning and uncertainties cos it made me understand that its time to grow up and learn to handle things. it's time to be held responsible. to be held accountable and to be accountable to others.so..
in the year 2007.. i'd
been a uni student.
met a whole lot of new people.extended by social circle
been in a ministry. children ministry. by God's grace.
first time renting a house
bought my very own furniture
performed on stage
cleaned the toilet for the very first time
cooked on a weekly basis
job hunting and worked in 4 different places.
been to a funeral for the very first time
talked and be-friends with my neighbour
loving the neighbourhood
travelled to the west of melbourne fortnightly
been through tensional relationships with family and frens
been hurt and loved.
stayed awake on adrenalin
went to jakarta with lots of other experiences attached to it
witnessed God's miracles.
understand the importance of authority and obedience
babysit neighbour's kids and was so blessed by it.
welcomed into a suburb family, God's family.
failed my Ps twice.
gained weight - BOOOOOO -
gone through stressful academical period
placed in an island of uncertainties
experienced God's faithfulness and providence.
been blessed by so many leaders, drivers, cooks and organiser.
went to strawberry picking for the very first time
learnt how to dance
attended graduations
went on the best vacations and outings
actually there's so so much more. it's just as wat the bible say in
Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
even as i was reflecting. i couldnt stop thinking and memories just flashed back into my mind. honestly, i've gotta admit tat i havent really been a good friend or even showed enough love to others. i had been selfish and i could have been better. i hadnt spent my time wisely. there were times when i was lukewarm and ignorant. but of course, i REMEMBERED the times when i had received, the times when LOVE become reality instead of fantasy. i can pictured the times when i was literally laughing and rolling on the floor. i remembered the moments when i was praying and tears rolled down my cheeks. i remembered lying on the bed thanking God for the person next to me.
so, as the year 2008 kicked in, i tried denying it, but it's a fact tat i'm 20 soon.
haha. pat's new year sms ran into my head. new year new bf. well.. perhaps.. perhaps not?! who knows?! but it's definitely the start of something new. yes. i havent accomplished a lot last year. and there's a lot to pick it up from.
MY RESOLUTIONS
to never ever take God for granted and still to draw closer to Him
to place Him first in everything
time management get my priorities right in all areas - people, studies, church, activities, job
be grateful for everything
see the bigger picture before acting rashly
have a pure and soft heart that's easy to mould.
this year, for me, i believe is a year of giving more than recieving.
it's my turn to be a blessing instead of continously being blessed. ( I REALLY WANNA PASS MY Ps!!!)
be proactive and initiative
in uni, i really wanna make a difference. may it be in the lives of others or watsoever. i wanna leave my mark
be a woman of prayer, faith and compassion
i wanna be there to lend my shoulders and ears. to be ever ready for others.
this year, i wanna be empowered to win a generation thru love
watever it is, i'm excited and full of hope. He is always there, guiding me through it and i never wanted it any other way to spend my year.
