My Holiday Plans

Yes! The long-waited holidays are finally here. It's just a one week holiday, but i'm grateful for it. At least i have a break to rest, tidy up some mess, get ready and go on again. :) I love holidays - i get to recharge myself physically, emotionally and spiritually. 

Lundu Retreat with Coursemates

So far my holiday has been fantastic! I spent a quality time at Lundu Retreat with my coursemates. Getting to know each other in a much deeper level, sharing and caring have indeed made our bonds stronger! I feel closer to them. This really feels like a little family and i will definitely miss them when we are all apart. The thought of the one month practicum has already saddened us cuz we might not be able to meet each other everyday. 

I really love spending time with people i treasure. I love interaction. I love to find out more about the other person and i love being an angel to others by supporting them and encouraging them. I love sharing thoughts, things that inspire me, i would want them to inspire others too. I love being surrounded by friends. 

This was also the first time Uncle Pajero went so far! Not bad for an uncle! The whole Lundu Trip was filled with funny and sweet memories. However...those mean sandflies were just so jealous that we were having heaps of fun and no one would care and remember them. Thanks for the souvenirs. I will definitely remember you all. Gosh, the bites are all swollen now and they are painful, irritating and itchy! Help! 

I know my skin is hyper sensitive to insect bites, so i avoided going to the beach, i just stayed at the house and went for swimming. But still the insects found their ways to bite me. Sigh. I wonder how long it will take to recover. They are just so ugly!

Miley's Birthday Celebration at Alfresco.

It's our dear Miley's birthday! Initially, the plan was to celebrate it today, which is the actual day. However, her dad bought her a ticket as a birthday gift to celebrate back at home so we celebrated it last night, right after the Lundu trip. Some snapshots of the night. :)

Miley was so touched when Mas read our birthday wish in Tamil.

Joy, joy, joy! I love making people really touched and happy! :)

Things i wanna do in this one week break:

1. Read at least a book (i miss reading, i was so occupied with loads of assignments before this and i hope now i have time to enjoy reading.)

2. Watch some movies (it's been too long!)

3. Complete my assignments

4. Prepare for my first practicum

5. Reconnect, reconnect, reconnect!

That's all for the update! 

Please keep me in prayers for healing of my sandflies bites. I really cannot stand the itch. :(

Trust

Once you break it, it will never be the same. This is what i believe. You can try to earn it back, but it can never be 100% anymore.

So, don't ever break trust.

I'm sorry, Mr Earth!

I totally forgot about Earth hour!!!

T.T


Anyway, just a very quick update.

The Rooster is done today!!!
Hooray for the holiday! :D

Stop, rest, ready, get set, and GO!

It's been awhile. I have been really busy with the hectic schedule in campus, with lectures and the Rooster children's interactive theater coming up. And...I have also been busy fixing up my life and getting myself back on the track. Thank God, i managed to cope with things, and i think i'm getting there. Run the race!

Ready, get set...GO!!!

Change. 

Perhaps you cannot change the situation you are in now, but you can change yourself or change your perception, then change the situation. :) 

Nothing stays permanent. Things change. People change. Change in order to survive.

So don't be afraid to change.

I'm currently reading a very interesting book. :)

I personally think it's a very good book for young people to read before getting into a relationship. Plus, this book talks about the God-desired relationships. I will write a review on it when i've finished reading the book!

Fourth Post of the Year!

I was tossing and turning in bed and i just couldn't sleep despite how physically drained out i was. I seriously need some rest!

So instead of wasting my time, i woke up and planned to start my assignments. However, my brain shut off the minute i saw the articles which i need to read. And i can't remember why after browsing awhile i ended up here, at this long abandoned blog. I took a quick look at all the posts i've written in this blog and these entries have certainly stirred me more and gave me a huge dose of nostalgic feeling. Wow...just how fast time flies! 

I'm glad that everything has come to end. I'm proud of myself that i made the first move to end it. No more looking back into the past! Now, i deserve a new life. :) In fact, i love the way how life is now. I'm actually looking ahead with HOPE. Looking forward to God's PROMISES!

From today onwards, i just want to set my eyes on God and wait upon His time. I will wait for Him to reveal every part of my life according to His time. I don't want to rush in things, I want to do it step-by-step with God, i want to do it right this time.

Love hurts.

Love is not having or owning someone - that is possession.
Love is not afraid of losing the other person - that is fear.

LOVE IS PROTECTING the person from your dark sides and all the hurt that will crush that person into pieces which you could never ever be able to fix again. 

And this means no hiding, no lies.
This means overcoming your dark sides and be a good person.
This means doing the right things that will not hurt the other one.
This means always be honest, always be truthful.
 
All these show how much the other person means to you.


So don't ever say that you love someone if you can't even protect that person.

Hello 2013!

2012 has passed. 

2013 is here!

It would be too long if i were to reflect on the whole 2012, well, but one thing for sure, God has His reasons behind everything that happened! 

The first week of lectures made me feel like it has been 3 weeks already instead of 3 days! It was so tiring and packed! The lecture itself is in the morning, unless one or two afternoon classes. However, it's the practice after the lectures that really drained me out. This semester we will have to stage a drama as our coursework. That drama would be a very big event where we will also invite children, parents, and teachers outside the campus. Wow. :( In order to make sure that it will (it has to!) be a success, we are already preparing for it during the holidays before this. We gotta memorize scripts and prepare our costumes. And now, most of the afternoons i'd have to stay back for practice. 

Right now, i'm feeling that i might fall sick soon. Having sore throat today and this would be really bad as i need my voice! But i understand i have overworked myself in just these few days. Before lecture started, i was already busy tidying and moving things as i changed my study room's layout and i arranged all my documents, notes, files, and stuff. The study room is now better, more organized. However, there's still a bit more i need to tidy, but i haven't. As lecture started, i slept pass midnight every night, sometimes around 1am and woke up at 530am every morning. That's why i'm really tired. And Saturday is supposed to be a day to get enough rest and replenish my energy, but what happens to today? Tuition all day! The next tuition starts at 3pm.

What about my tennis? Swimming? Jogging? Fellowships? Tuitions?

Well, i guess the challenge for this semester will be how to manage my time smart. To have time for things i need to complete, work, sports, rest, friends, family, myself, and most importantly, God. 

One thing that i wanna thank God is i've started to do devotion every night! :))) I really want to maintain this spiritual connection with God cuz i know the busier i am, the more i need to talk to Him, constantly, everyday! i bought this book at Kinokuniya, and it is superb! It has an article or a story everyday about Christianity, then it has this place for me to write my response, my prayers and my praise. I really love it! "This Morning with God" by Jennifer Rothchild. I wanted to do in the morning but mornings are always rushing, so i am trying to make it a routine to always date and talk to God at night. :)

Get well soon, Aggy! :D
