  • Questions

    Life is what you thought it to be. How true…yet, it’s always easier said than done.

    Let me ask you a question. What do you see when you stand in front of the mirror? Yes, physically you may look pretty, happy and all well. But try looking beyond all that. Look at your eyes. See what they tell you. People always say that the eye is the window to one’s soul. So how’s your soul doing today?

    When I look at myself, I try not to, but as hard as I could, I still couldn’t suppress the disappointment, the defeat I feel for myself. To be honest, my life now is not what I have imagined. And I’m pretty sure that it’s not exactly what most people close to me would have thought it to be. Does that mean that I’m regretting all those decisions I’ve made? The bible says that our life is planned by God, even before we existed. I do believe that but sometimes, I wonder what willGod do when we go against His will. Like if He planned A for us but we chose B instead, will He construct another plan? A plan C? Or will He just leave us since we’re so stubborn to follow His will?

    Time cannot be rewind. So does that mean that once the damage is done it cannot be fully rectified? Opportunities missed cannot reoccur?

    Being an adult sure sucks sometimes. I’m afraid to grow old cos I have too many insecurities and all those things I think I am now seem so strange to me. As if I’ve lost my identity.

    More often than not, I blame God for making my life this way. It’s stupid I know. Isn’t it He’s the one who plans my life? So why make me be like this? It’s hard and tiring to trust and obey especially since I dunno what to expect. Faith is believing in the things unseen and have confidence in it. I believe Jesus but do I really, truly, deeply have faith in Him? I suppose not or else I wouldn’t be writing all these crap.

    Please bear with me and let the emoness of me be for a while. I may deny these feelings and thoughts and brush them aside pretending that I didn’t see them but deep down I know that sooner or later I would still have to face them. I do not want to be living in denial and pretend that everything’s going just great for me cos my life would then be a lie and it’s suffocating to live that way. Can we really live a true and real life with zero deceit?

    Ralph Waldo Emerson once said,

                “To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived,

                  that is to have succeeded.”

    I have always aspired to be the next Jane Goodall or perhaps Steve Irwin but look at me now. What am I doing studying to be an engineer? An electrical one sammo. If this is God’s plan for me, would I really have to abandon my dream because God says no? And I thought He says, “Knock and the door will be opened, ask and you shall receive.”

    I’m so tired that I’m not thinking straight anymore.

    I guess I'll just end here.

  • I'm still alive and kicking. Not dead yet. Hee.

    Sorry for the long silence. Was kinda busy but it's mainly because the connection here in uni is very the slow. Wapiang! Everytime I'm inspired and all geared up to blog, I will lose the inspiration eventually cos by the time the page loads, it'll be like half an hour later or so.

    -.-"

    So since I'm quite free now (a bit deluded cos there's still a freaking workload to do, but it's ok) I shall try to squeeze in everything! Haha.

    And oh before it strikes 12 midnight, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, RACHEL, LYDIA AND JILLIAN! cos only the three of you actually read my blog. Haha. But it's ok cos i memang  wanna keep my blog as privately as I can so that I can blog more freely ;)

    CNY wasn't too bad this year. Won quite a bit  this year. Rat year rocks! LOL. The last night especially, or early morning to be more precise, I got really lucky with Lydia and Mandy. Muahaha. And the 'Mandy-thought-she-had-a-call-from-a-ghost' incident was priceless! Earlier on we went to Lydia's place for a while and I teased them about the infamous murdered couple's spirit following them. And then on their way to my place suddenly Mandy got a call from Lydia, who was actually driving beside her at that time! She really thought that the couple's spirit had followed them but it turned out to be Lydia's mom cos she forget her handphone. ROFLMAO! That aside, I ate super a lot too. I put on so much during those few days that I couldn't fit into my skirt anymore. Gasp! I really let loose and kept on stuffing myself with all those good good food. Can't blame me though cos the best I can get here is what, hokkien mee? I know, excuses excuses. So now I'm on a 'strict diet', ahem, to shed off those extra kilos.

    Do you know that the sugar content of a mandarin orange is equivalent to a slice of bread? 4 oranges=1 plate of rice. Gasp! And I've eaten like a whole box of oranges. Right. That's just wonnnderrrfulll. So this means I eaten like 10? extra plates of rice over the past few days. Pengsan.

    I always hear that the jams during festive season is the worst and during my drive back to uni on Sunday, I had a taste of it. Sweet, sour, salty, bitter; all of them at once. Salty when I saw the unending trail of cars. Sour when I got agitated and trying to reach uni before 12.  Bitter when I was trapped in the jam for hours. Sweet were the short moments when traffic was actually smooth. It took me 10 hours to reach here from Taiping, almost double the usual time. Luckily we(there's a friend travelling with me) reached on time cos if not have to camp outside. Haih. I guess the lesson to be learnt is to never travel during during festive season. Stupid, I know, but this once is enough. It still scares me when I think of it now. Macam convoy beramai-ramai. Except that it's not one lil' bit fun at all.

    The subjects are getting tougher and tougher. Today during C Programming, I almost broke down. The stress and feeling of lost is just too much to handle. Omg. This is bad, real bad. Really need to get down to business and all those Prison Breaks, Heroes and Korean dramas gotta go for now. Got 2 more camps to go sammo. 2 freaking camps!! which I feel are pointless. Sad. Am in the midst of tests and assignments and Malam Tiong Huat is just next week. Great. Life cannot get any busier at the moment.

    I wonder how is Zu Lee doing in UK. She'll be fine cos after all she's one tough and strong woman. Will definitely miss her loads and her unending energy :)

    Signing off....

  • Musings...

    Those things happening here in Malaysia nowadays scares me sometimes. Be afraid, be very afraid, for one day all these foundations upon which we were all built will crumble down, and during that time, only the word of God will hold us and keep us standing. I pray that all of us will be brave to proclaim His name and that our faith will never falter.

    Doz said some really profound things to me last night. He felt it in him that I am to lead in the cf here. Inspired by spirit, he said. I'm really scared and have no confidence, but the note of urgency in him and also Ruth regarding cf is... well, it makes me very kan cheong. Gosh, this is scary. He asked me to be in the committee last sem but I had declined because I was still unsure. Then this year Uncle Jeff asked me to be in, and then again, Doz.  I  asked him why and he said he just felt it in him. So, is this really why I'm here? Still trying to digest everything. Just trust him, Denis and Zeno, he said. Hmm...

  • And we're dancing to...

    High School Musical 2's last song in the movie. Dunno what's the title but yea, it's the happy summer song where Miley Cyrus made an appearance as a cameo dancer.

    Shocking, huh? A bunch of uni students dancing to HSM...walau eh!

    But then it's not too bad actually cos it's just the chorus part which we're copying and the rest we're still cracking our head for the steps. 4 minutes plus le. Pengsan. Really hope that it'll turn out ok cos for all of us to be as energetic and  enthusiastic as the HSM dancers, it's gonna take lotsa effort.
