in planetkids today, we watched Veggietales - the pirates who dont do anything.
here's the trailer for it.
it's great fun and u'll learn heaps out of it. but amongst it all, my favourite quote is,
"even princess does the right thing."
mmhmm :)

cheesy
at the moment, i'm feeling really cheesy now. perhaps it was chick flick overdose. 1 is enough to put me off the dial. haha.
i came home from uni today and my house were watching full house. yeap. the korean drama series with rain and the super cute girl on it.
then we continued on with one night with the king with Esther from the bible, offering her everything to the King. sooo beautiful. and i love how she demonstrates such strong courage to stand for her people for 'a time such as this'.
and well,
it didnt stop there. i then stumbled upon weixiong's blog and found the sweetest video. the photos were great and so were the editing and putting them together. but i guess wat made the superb was the heart behind it.
ahhh. i want some love nowww..

GOD CAN!
went for PS 09 conference last week. God has always been faithful and good to me. everything that i asked of, came through. I went in with a relatively shattered heart, as you could prolly see 2 posts down.
God is sooo good.
He gives hope when there is none.
He heals when you thought the pain would never ever go.
He moves mountains to come meet u face to face.
He reminds you of your deepest dreams
He tells you that you are cherished, you are loved.
i'll talk more next time. but for now, i'll just leave you with a thought.
what do you want to see? dare to ask God for the impossible.

memoirs of the past
i stumbled upon all these stuff of the past today while i was tidying up my room. the stuff back dates to 5 years ago! hahaha. yes. that's how much junks i have in the house but it also proves how sentimental i am. i remember having them but physically going back and looking at them. my gosh. i nearly broke down to tears.
i know at the moment. we're prolly very different from where we used to be. mann, it has been 5 years. of course things change. but i love our innocence back then. i love how u would love me for just who i am. i love how we can write notes and stick it on each others door. i love the fact that u say u'll always be there for me.
its hard to keep up with time, especially when it zooms past us so ever quickly. perhaps we're all at different pages of life now. we're doing different things, believing in different values. but hey, if i've never told u this, i wanna tell u now.
i love you and i appreciate all the memories we share.
i'm sorry that it's been so long and so far.
but you know what, going through all those stuff..
i miss your presence in my life. i miss seeing you every schooling day in that green pants and blue pinafore.
i miss the fact that you're just down the corridoor, having instant noodles in your room or nibbling your pack of biscuits away.
i miss you.
i admit that we have different priorities in life now
but thank you for the great work that you're doing, the love that you're continuously pouring out to the ones near you.
thank you for who you were and who u are.

rainy days
daylight savings are over. seriously, i find it weird how the weather could just change so drastically along with the daylight saving.
it's been raining for almost 3 days now. i get to sleep hearing the rain beats against the roof, and in the morning, i wake up with my cold toes tapping to the rhythm of the drops on the porch. i dont like weather like this, makes me wanna stay home whole day, wag class, and snuggle in my bed. unfortunately, i dont get the luxury to do so. i have an assignment due tmr!! :S
i've been sleeping early and waking up early for it. labouring away :(
maybe cold gloomy weather makes you wonder.
sometimes i wonder.and i think i still linger.
am i worthy enough?am i good enough?
i see her hurts and pains.
i'm scared. i can feel the reality of it.
i dont deserve it. she didnt deserve the pain either.
why we fall sometimes?
why cant we be firm and just say no.
why is it so hard to go back,
why is it so hard to be focussed.
she's so stunning in her wedding dress.
is it too much or too far for me to imagine myself in that?
i'm not as talented as you are.

i dont have a heart as big as hers.
i'm not good enough.
i can only look from my lil corner and think of all the perhaps and maybes.
i am trying to forget and let go
but i still cant help reading your blog.
i still cant help waiting eagerly and looking on the screen of my phone, waiting for the text to come through.
i still cant help checking on gtalk or skype.

i feel so silly.
i feel like i'm so useless. i cant honour my words.
i'm sorry.
i'm sorry, you.
i'm sorry, You.
please dont come after me with questions. i think i just need time to sort myself out.
till then, it's assignment time. joy.

"I understand"
I read somewhere today that the fact that someone understands you is so comforting. I guess as human being, we are truly made for relationship, the longing to connect and for someone to understand what we're going through, how we're feeling. i'm sure you can relate to times when you're scrolling your phone, picking out that one person in contact list to tell him/her that one joke that you both can laugh along.
or remember that day when you were stressing out with your assignment and you had to go for training or work. you're just looking for that someone who is going through the same thing to complain to.
welll ...... the fact that i know someone understands me, is sooo comforting. Though he/she may be at the other end of the world, or perhaps just in the room across, someone is there for me to relate to is just sooo awesome.
but, i'm sure there come times when no one on earth understand a single thing that u're going through.
no one can relate - because you're neither here nor there.
no one can advise - because you're the first one to go through situations as such.
no one is close enough to give u a shoulder to lean on
no one is far enough to hide from you when you just want some alone time
when there's no one else, there's always one person who can do it all.
one person who truly truly and deeply understand.
He is Jesus.
Heb 4 : 15 - 16
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

1 Sam 17:22
God dropped this verse in my heart for couple of days.
1 Samuel 17:22
David left his things with the keeper of supplies, ran to the battle lines and greeted his brothers.
1. He left his things with the keeper of supplies.
Perhaps sometimes, when we are called to do something, we need to leave OUR things behind with the person who can handle them best in order for us to be free, for us to not be tied down with things that would hinder or come against our way. I just realised it at 3.30am that he left the stuff with the keeper of supplies. wow. who else better that could keep our baggages than Jesus? who else better that we could trust?
2. He ran into the battle lines.
Can you imagine little David, running towards the battle line. War zone, usually, aint a pretty or attractive place. It couples with fear, death, injuries and hurts. Note the courage and boldness in David that he not only did not shrink back, but he RAN towards the battle lines.. where's not only his victory is found, but the victory of his country.
He RAN , with passion perhaps. but definitely, with a cause.
What are you doing?
3. He greeted his brothers.
hmmm. submitting to authority.
i think there's more to it than the typical david n goliath story. :) goodness :D :D

random thoughts
i always believed that God wants us to be happy and to enjoy ourselves. He grieves with us whenever we cry our heads off and whenever we were clouded with sorrow.
sometimes, it's so easy for us to be deluded and to stray into the enemy's trap of being concealed in our own world - MY feelings, MY desire, MY wants. and A LOT of times, we can do what others expect of us, we can put on this face of "I'm completely ok. I've got it all together. I'm jolly and happy". we can engineer ourselves to doing what we know is the right thing to do but not do it out of our hearts.
for example, i've now got my tute work, reading, in front of me. i know wat's expected of me. to complete my reading. i know wat i needed to do. but honestly, i dont enjoy reading it. it's SO BORING! i do it out of obligation instead of passion. I read cos i'm told tat i have to and i know if i dont my tutor would pick on me for the rest of the semester. so, i guess i'll have to at least skim read it and vaguely draw out some understanding out of it. but the outcome?
it aint useful when i do it half heartedly.
it is to no good at all. i waste my time. i waste my effort.
i didnt progress.
isnt it the same in life?
Chloe shared with me yesterday on what Ps Alex said during the offering message. "It is better to give than to receive".
i love it.
Apparently our brains are more stimulated when we give than when we received. WOW. how awesome!
for some period of time, or perhaps for a lil too long, i've been consumed in my world and how i want to do things MY WAY. i've always had it my way, so, giving in and not being so stubborn can be hard, especially when you're the eldest in the family.
also, for a while, i've been thinking a lil too much of my circumstance when i know that i should lay it at the alter of Jesus. when my heartaches n when i cut myself off, or the times when i had no space to shed my tears. i've been focusing on the things tat are important but not the MOST important of all.
i wanna pick up more things from where i left them last year.
i wanna be a person who gives.
i find it very AMAZING of how God can step in right away when you ask Him to heal your broken heart. i love the way the turns the focus and sets it on the things of everlasting.
i guess i cant turn back to the past -where it's all nice and easy, laid back and relaxing. but i know i can be slightly more disciplined and attack the devil in his face by being more obedient to Holy Spirit, and in the things that He has called me to do.
i know thinking about my situations, getting attention from people can be very tempting but i know i should set and cast them aside. i love how we can have TONNES of opportunity to be nice to ppl! and i shall start implementing some.
my faith goal - bless at least one person a day!
it is so achievable. dont you reckon :D :D
thinking about it puts a smile on my face already. cant wait to do it! see. that's how i think God wants me to enjoy doing whatever i'm doing!

To the Ends of the Earth
For those who havent heard, for this year's clinical placement, i'm based in WANGARATTA.
in case you dont know where it is, here's a map to help you out. i need to google it last night too.
it's 3 hrs away from clayton.
it's a rural city, ie. whoop whoop land.
chloe and i were looking up on the net what's there to do and how many ppl actually live there. (28000 if you really wanna know)
my hospital has only 34 beds! T.T wat am i to do?!!
i nearly cried when i first found out where i was at and when i had to do it. during my midyear break. great! >.< so now, u'll know where i'll be spending my winter. away from home, away from home. siggh.
this morning when i woke up i didnt even wanna get out of bed with that tot stuck in my head. i tot i could sleep it off or so. but then.. i woke up worrying n just plain yuck!
but you know wat?
i talked to my Father in heaven about it. i had early morning. an hour of nothing. i spent it with him. He led me to this AWESOME spot and led me to this song.
Love unfailing
Overtaking my heart
You take me in
Finding peace again
Fear is lost in all you are
And I would give the world to tell you're story
'Cause I know that you've called me
I know that you've called me
I've lost myself for good within your promise
And I won't hide it
I won't hide it
Jesus, I believe in You
And I would go, to the ends of the earth
To the ends of the earth
For you alone are the son of God
And all the world will see
That You are God
You are God
now, it kinda falls into place.

Sometimes the right things arent always the easiest things to do. but i'm trying.
I'm going to continue trusting
I'm going to continue praising
I'm gonna continue living
I'm gonna continue loving.

thank you for picking me
One, two, three
Counting out the signs we see
The tall buildings
Fading in the distance
Only dots on a map
Four, five, six
The two of us a perfect fit
You're all mine, all mine
And all I can say
Is you blow me away
Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me
So softly
Rain against the windows
And the strong coffee
Warming up my fingers
In this fisherman's house
You got me
Searched the sand
And climbed the tree
And brought me back down
And all I can say
Is you blow me away
Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me
hun, it's me who should thank you for picking me. i miss you. watching that video makes me cry again.

Write You A Song <3
I don't know how to make lots of money
I got debts that I'm trying to pay
I can't buy you nice things, like big diamond rings
But that don't mean much anyway
I can't give you the house you've been dreaming
If I could I would build it alone
I'd be out there all day, just hammering away
Make us a place of our own
I will write you a song
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong
I will write you a song
And you'll know from this song that I just can't go on without you
I don't know that I'd make a good soldier
I don't believe in being violent and cruel
I don't know how to fight, but I'll draw blood tonight
If somebody tries hurting you
I will write you a song
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong
I will write you a song
And you'll know from this song that I just can't go on without you
Now that it's out on the table (it's out on the table)
Both of us knew all along (knew all along)
I've got your loving and you've got my song
I don't know how to make lots of money
I don't know all the right things to do
I can't say where we'll go, but the one thing I know
Is how to be a good man to you
Until I die that's what I'll do
I will write you a song
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong
I will write you a song
And you'll know from this song that I just can't go on without
I will write you a song (I will write you a song)
That's how you'll know that my love is still strong (love is still strong)
I will write you a song
And you know from this song that I just can't go on without you
This is the sweetest song that came across my itunes today :D i'm feeling so loved, despite the mess i've been surrounded by, stuff flying everywhere. REALLY DESPERATELY need a maid. hahahaha.
Dad's coming over this week. i'm not sure how i'm feeling :S but i think i'll be fine :)
till then, keep writing people songs! :)

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

when you've gone
after all the laughters and awesome times that you brought me through.
i'm left alone in my room.
i cant help but to feel the aches in my heart.
tears wouldnt come out. i hope it's not because i'm getting used to it.
it still hurts.
i'll miss you.
promise me you'll still tell me stories.
promise me you'll be better than you are now.
i'm drowning myself in emo music
when you're gone, pieces of my heart are missing you.
faces i known are missing too.
Lord, help me to stay strong.

i'm back from bali and headed straight to pd and melaka.
i love bali with what's it gotta offer. and i love my roadtrip with people dearest to my heart.
<3
i had the best valentines week ever :)
.........................................................................
anyway, i woke up today, feeling a lil emo and just had my reflective cap on. i was thinking about how when valentines is around the corner, there's always a sense of "love is in the air" mode and on the contrary, the increase sense of insecurity amongst ppl. the question of - how u spending your day, or you taking anyone out is always round the ear. i always wonder why.
but i guess, this valentines, i've grabbed hold of a few things. the need to express your appreciation and your love towards the ppl around you. perhaps it's PDS - pre departure syndrome. i duno, with friends heading to various parts of the world and a couple of farewells and "I'LL MISS YOU"... i couldnt help but to remind myself that in a week's time i'll be in that position too. i tot i've had enough experience of saying goodbye and i'll-see-you-again-before-you-even-know-it. i tot i was a pro. but i guess i'm just a human being with emotions. (and i'm glad i am! hehe)
i was doing my devotions today. it's talking about sowing and reaping. "whoever who sows grudgingly and sparingly shall receive grudgingly and sparingly. whoever who sows generously will reap generously". today only i realised that it doesnt only apply to financial situations, but also in terms of love. Joyce meyers encourages us to GO THE EXTRA MILE.
simple things like holding the door for someone, sending text messages that puts a grin on their faces, cook up a meal, tell someone you love them goes real far down the road. God gives us amazing ideas on how to bless others. just ask. i've actually asked before and guess now, i've just gotta put them into actions :) ( i guess the problem with me is that i'm too lazy to actually do the things i intended! uggghh)
so , do something that will brighten another person's day. you'll see how much u enjoy doing it too!
do something that blesses the Father too!
i will.

HELLO 2009
Guess what i did at the very last day of 2008 and the very first day of 2009?
i watched the last few episodes of Moonlight Resonance. MaNN!! i now understand how truly addictive hk drama series can be!but well well.. FINALLY. i'm over the phase now. NO MORE DRAMA SERIES FOR THIS HOLS! i've done my quota for this season :P
Anyway.. this morning, as i woke up recapping how the year has gone past.. i realised,
in this year, so many had happened. good and bad, high and low.
In this year,
I roller bladed for the first time, he was there to hold my hands, so was she :)
I walked someone down the aisle, cos he has already told me that it would happen on that very appointed day.
I had a very awesome group of friends, we were (are) like family and thank God, cos He's always in the middle.
I'd lost my wallet in a foreign land, he was there to cheer me up.
My house was broken into, he gathered the people around me telling me that it would be ok.
this year, i'd missed out on thousand opportunities to make a difference
i've been loved more than i had loved.
i've tried and failed. but at the same time, i've also tried and seen the victory.
i've done some silly lil fun things too.. i went for picnic in malaysia for the first time.
i went somewhere real far for food
i dressed up a fair amount due to a fair few occasions - urbs, birthdays, balls. all of great memories.
i made some short clips and videos for the first time.
i've learnt to trust and believe. but i'm still learning to trust more and dare to believe for more.
i've had the priviledge of seeing kids touching God.
i've seen His goodness and faithfulness.
i'd had an accident that was not so much of a misfortune but a blessing, that truly opened up my eyes to bigger things.
i've shed tonnes of tears, missing people near and far.
i've seen doors being shut right in front of my face.
i converted a hk drama series anti to a fan ;p (it'll be so awesome if i can do that MORE FOR JESUS!)
but this year.. i'm also continously learning to let go.
letting go of the things that God told me to, that arent so good for me.
letting go of the things that werent meant to be.
letting go of sorrow and unforgiveness. I'm still learning.
letting go of hurts and disappointment.
Someone in bible college told me today, "there's often greater rewards if you waited." yes. this marks the start of my waiting season. but it's ok. greater rewards towards the end. HOORAY!
God told me to get ready for this year. I know bigger challenges are gonna come my way. but I know even better that I'm not alone in this journey. NEVER alone! cos.. this coming year.. i know there's greater victories!! :D
i tried to think of new year's resolution. it's prolly just the same o ones. cos they're too hard to ever get marked off the list.
so .. this year i'm simplifying my resolution to a short one, instead of a massive list.
1. to stay closer to Jesus.
2. to love people.
3. KAM FEI SENG GONG!
hhaahhaa. the final one is just for a laugh! :P kam fei so hard.. i'm so not discipline.. tat would take some while. but first 2 are harder to do.. but it should be ok :D

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR
I've had one of the busiest christmas ever. and it was good. Thank God for my sister's boldness to rededicate her life to Jesus, coming back to him again. It was the best thing and the best christmas gift i could ever asked for :)
christmas luncheon with the yiweiclan.
CCC christmas reflection production.
christmas dinner at relatives'.
That was my day. but of course, the moment i woke up. i didnt forget to wish the BIRTHDAY BOY A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY =) He's the best :D
I've been reading "God came near" by max lucado. it's awesome. so many of us needed to have a divine surgery to have our eyelids cut open to see Jesus. we passed by so many things that reflect His glory and majesty. Yet, we failed to see His hands upon it. i shall copy this paragraph that i read today. it's so beautifully true.
"The world was different this week. It was temporarily transformed. The magical dust of christmas glittered on the cheeks of humanity ever so briefly, reminding us of what is worth having and what we were intended to be. WE forgot our compulsion with winning, wooing and warring. We put away our ladders and ledgers, we hung up our stop watches and weapons. We stepped out off our race tracks and roller coasters and looked outward toward the star of Bethlehem.
It's the season to be jolly because, more than any other time, we think of him. More than in any other season, his name is on our lips. All of a sudden, he's everywhere.
Emmanuel. God with is. He is with us. God came near.
... If he can do so much wit hsuch timid prayers lamely offered in December, how much more would and could he do if we thought of him everyday?"
perhaps, you've heard that Jesus is the reason for the season.
what does it mean?
what is Christmas to you?
Personally, i think Christmas is just the mark of something amazing - when God from His majestic throne came down in human form, out of love. it's the birth of a King. The King of kings. and it doesnt end here.
He heals.
He delivers.
He redeems.
He cares.
and it doesnt stop just on Christmas day. everyday should be Jesus-day. seriously, who can have too much love?
