test...

I am trying if blogger works on my phone.

Of bonsai, dreams, and changes...

I went out with Amy tonight and managed to catch up with each others' life. Studies, spiritual life, friendship, guys, career... It feels good to talk about these stuff after so long! She saved me from my unhealthy social life! I was always the one who was busy all the time and had to turn down many hang-outs. But tonight i made myself available cuz i need to socialize. Seriously, i'm living such an unhealthy social life. Hanging out is good cuz it's like a break for me to pause and reflect on the things happened along the way. :) 

Finally i had my Bonsai! This is just so cool and cute. :) 

Well, tonight, we talked about spiritual life. I gotta admit it's really getting a downhill lately. I tried very hard to reconnect but i kept finding myself going lower and lower. Take for instance, today - Good Friday - it somehow just feels different, it's just like any normal day. Father God, i must have hurt You badly. I tried to continue my daily devotion but it didn't work. I think i need someone, a spiritual partner, to help me out especially in growing strong in faith. I wish for someone whom i could do daily devotion with, someone whom i could share all my experience with God. Someone to discuss Christianity and faith in Christ. Someone to sustain me when i feel like falling off the track and slacking off. And when he/she needs support and motivation, i will try my best to help, or we will both help to get him/her back on track. In this kind of sharing and supporting each other, i believe our faith in Christ will strengthen. But who can be my spiritual partner?

Guys. I felt like as I grow in age, many of my principles for love loose with time. I used to have a long list of criteria for my perfect Mr Right, but now, there're only a few principles left. =/ Few months ago, i felt a strong urge to find someone and settle down. Kinda tired of being 'too free'. I wished that i could just change my status to 'in a relationship' so that i could stop the bees for pursuing after me and not to break more hearts. However, i think God says it is still not the time yet. And this is good - it gives me more time to pray over it and prepare myself to be a better woman for the man He has prepared for me. And this time, i wanna do it RIGHT with God from the start. :)

Career. Basically, i'm okay with it now. In fact, i think i'm falling in love with it! How amazing! I think my mom was really right - we really can learn to love what we do. :) I'll be going off for my very first practicum in April (which is next week!) and i am anticipating it. Somehow i just feel so positive about it and i feel like something good is going to happen! 

This was an activity which i tried out with my lil tuition girl.

(Note: We have read the story prior to this for a few times to get her really familiar with the story, and of course, understand the story.)

1. I drew and cut out the template for her to colour.
2. We made the stick puppets together.
3. We read through the story together using the stick puppets made.
4. She retold the story using the puppets made, without referring to the book.

It was a total success! She enjoyed making the stick puppets, reading the story, and retelling the story!

Church.

Today, i joined Fiona, her mom and sister to Trinity Methodist Church for a change. I've been considering switching to a new church, if possible for one which offers English service. It was not too bad, will try to go for a few times and see how it is.

I need some sports! 

Holidays have been filled with lots of eating, relaxing... i need to sweat. I need to train myself to be better in tennis! Speaking of tennis, yesterday, i was supposed to meet up a new friend for tennis. Unfortunately he had an accident and he was badly injured. I was hoping to meet this person face to face and get to know him better, but looks like it's saved for the other time. :)

Two more days of holidays. :(

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.
