I am a Healthy Girl

Yes!! I am a healthy girl! And don't you go say I'm not, because I rarely do sports, because I started jogging lately. *grins proudly*

Hehe... if you have read other people's blog, you'll know that 5 of us went jogging last Tuesday at TTDI park. Honestly speaking, I will always turn down my parents if they asked me to go for a morning jog with them, but if they put it as an order, then I'll follow, just to make them happy. So, when I told my mom I'm going jogging with them, my mom was looking at me like one kind, sigh...

Mmm... last tuesday wasn't that bad, we shouldn't put it as morning jog, but more like a morning stroll, for me &eden that is. The path in the park was amazingly short. Hehe.. the funny part is we get to see different people with different weird weird jogging patterns, quite interesting. We even see few group of old folks doing "tai chi" with the energetic Kung Fu music playing behind. Then, I was randomly suggesting to den den whether we the group of "old folks" from MJYF will be attending all these "tai chi" classes together in the morning when are all old in age. Hehe... After that, we went for chinese mamak. The rest of the story, you all know lor...

We went during this Tuesday morning too, but to the more challenging path. Which is the deadly, never-ending, torturous, insane..... KIARA MOUNTAIN!Woke up at 6:40, picked up eden &went to James's house, because both of us don't really know the way to get there. As usual, we were all late, but the weather wasn't so bad, the sun was not shinning madly, instead the breeze was quite cooling. We started off without drew & aaron, but waited for them at the center point. [center point is where we reach a point, where there are 3 cross roads that leads to different tracks. Names of cross roads are: Healthy pathway, Short-cut path &.... hmm... I don't think the third path has a name yet]

While waiting, we saw a BIG family of monkeys! Then, we start naming all the monkeys. We saw James's family first. A papa monkey, mama monkey with a baby monkey(James) hanging onto the mama & 3 stronger child monkey came along(which is the 3 brothers of James). Then we start to see all the cousins coming along!! Eden, Pastor Ho, Lucas etc... Oh yeah! we even saw Joey's family. Because we saw one super tiny with a bit bit fur baby monkey, so we named it Jayden& just so happen it only had a papa& mama. Basically, this is what we do while waiting for drew& aaron. K... here comes the serious part. I only been to that mountain not more than 5 times & I never NEVER EVER finish the whole route before. They all suggested that we go for the "Healthy Pathway"! *faints upon hearing that word* I think if you are jogging with friends, that actually makes you have more urge to go further. So without you guys, don't think I can make it too. Well, it's an experience though &gain something from it too.. ^_^

Not long later, the guys wanted to jog up the hill, so off they go. Halfway through the hill, I remember I was panting already. Guess who we met?? Aunty Jeannie! Then!!! She started pulling me & eden to jog with her up the hill?!?!?! huu... was indeed an experience, but I made it!! *cheers* Rested for a while at the center point again, then walk back down the hill & off for FOOD!!

Walking up hills& all the mountains always make me think of life. Was thinking about it when we were halfway through the middle point, because eden was listening to her mp3 &I want to save my breath so we didn't talk. This was the first time I finished the route & it sort of explains to me about my life going to be in Australia.

[Before reaching the centerpoint=Beginning a life in Aust]
Not tired, actually enjoy! Exciting life awaits with all the new life enviroment, new people, new school, new church, new culture, new lifestyle, etc...

[Moving on to the Healthy Path=Mid-year in Aust]
Stressful life ahead. Get to know people around better, but burden with asignments, assesments, tests, etc... However, there's still someone that will pull you to go forward along the road.

[After centerpoint=End of the year in aust]
Feel peaceful after the rest, actually kind of enjoy the route a lot. Looking forward to come back home!!

Just felt that God gave me a rough revealed about my life to come in australia while walking the hills. Hmm.. if you guys don't understand the previous part just skip it k? Because I find it a bit abstract & I can't really express properly.

Anyways, I find that we are really aging already!! We begin to do all the stuff that only done by "uncle& aunty". Morning jog in Kiara Mountain during morning holidays? Sounds like only aunty only will do. Hehe.. still remember another aunty thing we did was waking up super early in the morning on the second day of God @Heart camp to see the sun rise at the beach. (the aunties were mel, yeeng, eden, pei minn & yours sincerely) However, while we were walking to the beach we met other uncles & auties who came to join us. (other uncle & aunties are chris, jon, lucas, hor yan& michele)

But we were so blur back then because we forgot that we are actually at the west coast, that means, we can't see the sun rise from here.

Some Pictures We Took on That Morning

(just for fun!)

The Story of Pei Minn KO Lucas!

God gift siblings!

Ahem!! I really wanted to post something, but but... I just can't seem find anything interesting lately.
So!! I finally made up my mind to post something about my siblings, since lately I've been spending a lot of time with them. ^_^
So, here it goes...
My siblings... They are really God gifts! Like everyone else, we had fights, quarrels, tear moments, disagreements, even age gaps! But we also have laughs, fun, lot of hugggies and all. We even have totally different personalities!

FIRSTLY!

This!! Is my very sweet "da jie". Aw... I love this pic! She always had this baby face, doesn't look like she's in her twenties at all, makes her cute! And she's NOT a budak!! She just look young.

My big sister is the one who brought me & my whole family to know Christ, so without her, I may not be able to find the true meaning of living, Zillion thanks to her!

When I was young, I admired her a lot, and I mean A LOT! I follow wherever she go, eat whatever she puts into her mouth, follow practically whatever she do!(As told by my little sis) Although I'm being such a glue-stick tightly to her, I never recall any experience where she shooed me away.

Maybe because she's the big sis in the family &so much older than me, so she's always the one with all the wild ideas& games for us to play, creating our own rules. You can NEVER imagine what games we play together, and I'm not going to explain it here because it's really REALLY embarrassing. But yeah, one of the game u all might know is the "Mermaid" game, that is not the worse, but you all are already laughing your lungs out. But yeah, the fun always begins with her. She's the one who make my childhood days memorable.

In movies, we can always see the older siblings will not play or get along with siblings that are much younger than they are. Well, on the contrary, my sis never does that. She never look down on us. She even play PS with us! I notice that friends in her age also like her a lot, yeah, everyone calls her "little girl" and all but everyone tends to sayang &protect her a lot. ^_^

My sister is very good at drawing too! I grew up with her drawing skills &hehe... I like to show off her pics to friends& I'm going to do it now! So here are some of her recent drawings. Get AMaZeD!

NEXT!

Well, here's my pretty little sister! She is a very random girl, can super gloomy at one moment & super happy the next second (cuz she forgets why she is gloomy). Hehe... some say that she is emotionally unstable, but I say she's just a sincere girl that is not afraid to express herself! ^_^

My little sister, has really LOW confidence but a very HIGH pitch voice! Like I said, she's a very good company. She's the one who has a similar interest with me towards movies. Without her beside to complain about the bad character or squeal when the handsome character did a very handsome act, the whole movie watching activity will be very dull. So, no Yeeng, no excitement!

Among the siblings, she's the Miss Clean & Tidy Queen. She's very responsible in keeping her things in order too. Something out of the ordinary about my sister is that she always force anyone (basically, it's my big sis& I) who wants to snuggle into her bed to wash their feet, before we even get a centimeter near to her bed. Sigh... but we usually ignored her, but sometimes we do follow her orders, just to make her happy. You might think that I'm a very tidy person, who keep my room as tidy as she does, but you are so WRONG!! I'm always the one who turns her room upside down once I enter &I'm always the one who misplaced or lose her stuff.

My sister has a really cool gift by God, which is being able to make a new person feel very welcome. I learn a lot from her on this. I'm not very good with new enviroments, especially when we are with people that we are not familiar to. She's always the one who introduce me to a new group of friends and she rarely left me alone, maybe because I stick on her too tightly.

LASTLY!

The only boy in the family... my adorable little brother! ^_^ He has a very warm& loving heart, love hugs a lot. Unlike other little boys his age, he's never shy to talk to anyone. And he's always giving all the aunties & uncles bear hugs.

I took care of him a lot. Some say I'm like a second mother to him. (Hehe... guess I get to practise to be a mother) He respects me a lot too. I can always hit him, but he can't hit me back! Because I brought him up that way! Bwahahahaha.... No la, I'm not that evil, am I? I just taught him not to hit girls that's all & he agrees, respects &listens. Sometimes, he does hit me for fun, but after he hit me, automatically he'll whack himself back the next second, to test whether he hit me hard. Mmmm... you can say he's a gentle boy. (or dumb)

Actually, he taught me to be a more patient person. Since young, I'm the one who help him with his homework, especially MATH. When I recall those days, it was definitely torturous to both me & him, because it's difficult for me to explain math to him& He can't seem to understand, so... he gets a lot of scoldings from me. Sigh... poor boy!!

It's going to be hard to leave him, knowing that he'll change so much in his teenage when I get back from aust. Hehe... Lately, he's trying to convince me to continue my studies in Malaysia. He says he needs me to go through PMR with him. Grr... so selfish!

Here are some memorable pics with my siblings.

Big sis& I with the chicken wings bones!

Yeeng &I on 2006 Christmas eve

My bro&I sleeping in car(That's my pillow!!)

My sis's graduation!

My big sis forced my bro to put on that kinomo,

forced him to pose that sissy pose,

& forced him to put on that happy smile

Basically that's all! Hope that I didn't bored you guys, but this post is specially made for my god gift siblings, to make them happy! ^_^

p.s Sorry, I rarely post something about all my god gift church buddies! But I promise I'll make up something real good & soon specially for all you guys!! *hugs*

Learn to Love the Rain

I don't know how some of you guys know that I maybe applying to Melbourne Uni. But there is a story behind this that I want to share. Here it goes, I actually went to IDP center (place where they help you to do your applications on uni), FILLED in my application form to Melbourne. I know something caught me by then. Before that day, I was actually praying to God, asking him whether or not should I apply to this uni. (I was only given one day of notice) While I was filling the form, I can tell you I've been super uneasy! I can't concentrate in filling in the form. My mind was like flying around the place &so much images pop out in my mind. I was so confused but at the same time sure that I'm not suppose to fill in this form. Because I forgot to bring a certified copy of my SPM results, I need to go back home and get in & come back here again to pass it to her. When I get out of the center, I straight away tell my parents that I do not want to apply to this Melbourne uni. My parents was furious of course, because I had wasted their whole morning. I know I'm really spoilt & all. There are two reasons why I didn't want to get in. One of it is because I'm so use into the thinking that I'm going to Monash & going to start a new life in the campus. Another reason is because I'm allowing my emotions to take over me, and I know that it is the last pride I have in protecting myself. I bet my parents understand the reasons. They were mad of course, scolded me &all but who wouldn't be mad? I really am happy that they respect my decisions & didn't force me to get in there, Love them for it.
Well, look at the bright side now, I finally got my offer from Monash in Clayton& also got a place to live in campus! *cheers!* thank god so much...

It's been a while since I updated. Yups, my head is churning and all, been thinking too much, but unable to even express or write down anything. Maybe because all these people matters to me a lot, and sincerely, you all are like my family. When you sense the rain is coming, you can't expect us to sit down and feel nothing, that's wrong. I'm just not the kind of person that will just sit down &let the rain just pour down on me. My conscious will ask me to get up &do something.
Ever since last year, I start to have the feeling that it is a great burden to know Too much. There are sometimes I didn't want to know anything but it comes to reveal itself to you. I didn't go looking for it. (ok...but maybe sometimes I do go look for it. Hey, we r curious species& curiosity always kill!) Of course, I treat it as God's will of wanting me to know, shows that God is actually opening doors. Sometimes,I really hope that I'm not the one who knows all the haps, and just being blur in anything. But, God didn't made me that way, so... Let it Be! And be happy with what ever you know currently, whether it is little or a lot. What you know, Keep it! ^_^

I know I'm not the only one who is feeling sad of leaving this place & I know there are others that feel sad because someones leaving, and it is the main reasons that cause all the rainy days. The main reason all of us are feeling the rain drops is because we play a big part to each other a lot. It is really time for us to switch from being self-centered into Christ-centredness. We have been pondering on our own self for too long& we really need to start to think for others or even Christ. I know I have been ignoring others and even Christ, but I'm sure I'm not going to continue this. By going to Australia, I know I'm going to learn to switch my focus to Christ-centred instead of myself. I pray that all of you will join in the learning process.

Don't hate the rain, learn to love it. God created rain for a purpose. I love the rain, because I know that after the rain, it's going to be sweet, and everything will turn out fine, because God is at work. Do not let the thunder frighten you &make you do stuff that you know you are not suppose to do. Think positively!
I didn't like the name Rainoa for no reasons, it is because I like Rain. ^_^

After being able to express everything, I feel much better. And I hope that all who read felt the same way too & get something out of it. Don't know how I manage to express it, but I think it's God doing something, Love Him!
Let us not grief over how much time we have left to spent with each other but enjoy our time together to the fullest, with God in the center! there will not be awkwardness when God is in the center, Trust me! Really am looking forward to pool party, hope you do too!! *hugs tightly to everyone*

The Big Plan

Been wanting to post something since Wednesday. Unfortunately, nothing much happen lately, mainly because I was at home doing NOTHING! (especially during morning till evening, when everyone is busy with work &school) I'm left alone at home, day dreaming all the time.. You know, there are some times in your life when you have lots of stuff going through your mind &you just don't know what to do about it, specially when you know you are about to leave your motherland. hehe... maybe the girls will understand this part better because we are from Venus.. ^_^
Well, as for what's going through my mind... I can't write here. The main reason is because I SIMPLY CAN'T write here. (I'm being crappy) Brrr... but the weekdays are indeed torturous. Looking forward to weekends though!! Whole lot of programs!! Yipee..

Ok... doing too much of intro... SAM the SHOCKER? Yes, he is! He's leaving today? Yes, he is! He knows he's leaving only yesterday? Yes...
I know he did this 2 years ago, but I don't know him yet, &he's doing it now again?! Well, maybe a bit different, since Ange is out of the pic. According to him, this is how God works through him. Imagine if God works through me like how He did to Sam& Ange... *shakes head* Don't wanna think about it. Guess God really knows each &everyone of us well &will not give us anything that is beyond what we can handle. Love God!

Yesterday night, we had dinner with him in "Wong Poh" (hmm..don't think I get the spelling correctly). We includes: Ange, Yeeng, Den, Mel, Aar, Jam, Drew, Meng & me! After that, we had fellowship in my house. I don't know about the others, but I always like the feeling where all of us just laze around &start chit chatting, just feel Together! I treasure even those moments..

Later, we were having a talk about maybe a few years later, all of us will be having our own relationship, each bringing our own partner &we are going to have a Big Gathering &Big Fellowship! That will definitely be a day to remember. I too hope& pray that no one will be left out. (so, get a christian partner!)

One thing that can definitely bring us back together is God, so cling on to Him! I think for these 5 years to come, it is unavoidable that each of us will be separated to everywhere, each having a mission set by God that need to be fulfilled. Throughout this period, it might be difficult, because we might not have each other to help us out or encourage each other with God's words, but we have God. Ask Him to equip each of us differently in all ways. When all of us are back Together again, hope that we'll all have a Greater passion for God, and Together, we'll do Greater things! Things we never thought that we can ever achieved, allowing God to open our eyes. That will be totally awesome. So no one's gonna be left out of the big plan!!
(hmm... was thinking should I make an agreement or something & let everyone sign?)

Didn't notice I wrote so much de... looking forward to the Girl's day out & the pool party we planned yesterday! Will post something else asap... May god bless everyone! ^_^

Time with my dear mummy...

Just yesterday night, I had a heart to heart talk with my mom in her room, only the both of us. Since I'm leaving to aust soon, so I wanted to spent a little more time with her & also was expecting her to give me some advices on my daily life, studies, friends & even PR.

However, it didn't turn out well... it was totally hilarious!!! nah... not that we had a fight but when I was asking her for some advices on all these, she sort gave me all the kiddy kiddy kind of answers that sort of make u want to fall head to toes, in other words, makes u sweat! Later on, she was complaining about me having pimples all over all my face, and start getting tissues to clean my face. Gah... she always do that, and it hurts! But basically that's my mom, and I like the way she is.. ^_^

Today, I went shopping with mom & Yeeng *FINALLY!*, very satisfied with the stuff we bought! *cheers* (but I miss a chance to have lunch with mel, james, ange & sam,*sob*) Yay, get to spent time with my mom & sis again. This might be the last time shopping in Malaysia this year, cuz I simply can't shop without my mom beside me to give her opinions (maybe you'll think it's bit weird).

Gah...I wanted to buy a brown blouse (or something else other than pink) for a change, since it's a new year &a lot of people have been complaining I don't wear a variety of colours(tsk...u know who u guys r!). Sadly,I can't seem to look good in any of it. I tried, but fail... so pink still rocks!! bwahahaha....

Really thank god for the precious moments where I get to spent time with her.. ^_^

My mom & me!

My Pink Blog!

*rolling drums*
ta-da!! My very first blog! Few days ago, I didn't even know what a blog is, till it was so happening in college cg, so I must get one too. Plus, it's easier to update people in Malaysia, since i'm gonna further my studies in Australia soon.

Sigh... still don't really like the sound of leaving to aust. I'm so comfortable in my current environment now!! Leaving here is going to be hard for me. I'm gonna miss everyone, families, buddies in church, pals from past school...

*breath in*
However, I know I need to leave and I know that God say it is time to leave. I need to grow! To be more independent and of course to be tougher!! (As in don't tear so much.)

God is great! He not only sent James & Jon Lim to aust but also sent angel Angeline to Aust!! *cheers* At least I won't feel so lost when i'm there and i'll know who to get when I take the wrong tramp or sat in the wrong train in Aust... hehe..

I think that's about it?

p.s God is great! ^_^
