i have decided to start my brand new year with looking back what had happened during 2008..
hmmm... 2008.. !! i 've been through a lot.. when for an operation.. , had arguments with my best fren due to my sis, started my new journey with someone i love, completed my advance diploma, my best fren's wedding.. and etc..
so many things happening.. i was really overwhelm by that.. can't believe hor.. one thing i always remembered.. God is faithful.. He is always by my side.. and He send someone to look after and took care of me as well.. just be by my side whenever i am in need.. eg, jac, merlyn, marilyn, leon, my sis Jolene and so many more.. i can't be here if without them being there with me.. hey guys.. thanks a lot.. appreciate every little things that u guys did..
looking back.. i realized that things was not easy at all with a tight finance and so many emotional struggles as well.. but God is faithful.. He brings me out and made me a stronger person and a person who depend on Him more. words just can't express my feelings towards our 'Abba father'.
ok.. shall start with the diagnosis of a lump which appears like a cancerous cells was diagnosed.. it was a shock in my life. can you imagine my feelings when i got to know that!!!!there goes wanting to tell my family what happened and even telling Leon of the diagnosis when our relationship was just merely a week old.. but somehow i still let him know..
guess wat.. during these period of time my sis was with me in Singapore.. she just got a job here.. but due to some misunderstanding.... cat and i were not in good terms.. all bad things happened at a time..
i really have no idea how i went through all these things together.. but yet i know that my frens and family is always there when i needed it most..
hooray.. the bad things have gone.. the so called cancerous cell was not cancerous at all.. thank God.. and me and cat's friendship was reconciled. and leon and jac was with me through out all these time.. was glad to have them with me..
life just ain't easy for me actually.. but God has walked me thru.. by looking backwards.. it was amazing that i've been thru all these things.. even some close fren of mine thinks that it was rather tough for them.. yes indeed.. it was real tough.. but i am looking forward to a new year with new things in life..
changing an environment i guess.. switching from a familiar place to somewhere new... i mean churches itself... i was so heart ache to leave my group of frens ... but in view of the growth ... will have to .. needing to know that it is a necessarily changes .. will need to adapt a new environment all over again... haaiiizzz.. (shall not complain then..).. sob...
bye guys... till then..

something i learned...
Have you ever, at any one time, had the feeling that life is bad, real bad, and you wish you were in another situation?
You find life make things difficult for you, work , life , everything seems to go wrong...
Read the following story... it may change your views about life:
After reading this from forwarded email.. found that is kinda true..
there is this man, despite taking 2 jobs, he brings back barely above 1K per month, he is happy as he is.
people will be wondering how he can be as happy as he is considering he has to skimp his life with the low pay to support a pair of old parents, in-laws, a wife, 2 daughters and the many bills of a household.
He explained that it was through one incident that he saw in India that happened a few years ago when he was really feeling low and touring India after a major setback.
He said that right in front of his very eyes he saw an Indian mother chop off her child's right hand with a chopper. The helplessness in the mother's eyes, the scream of pain from the innocent 4-year-old child haunted him until today.
You may ask why did the mother do so; had the child been naughty, had the child's hand been infected?? No, it was done for two simple words- - -TO BEG!
The desperate mother deliberately caused the child to be handicapped so that the child could go out to the streets to beg.
Taken aback by the scene, he dropped a piece of bread he was eating half-way. And almost instantly, a flock 5 or 6 children swamped towards this small piece of bread which was covered with sand, robbing bits from one another. The natural reaction of hunger.
Stricken by the happenings, he instructed his guide to drive him to the nearest bakery. He arrived at two bakeries and bought every single loaf of bread he found in the bakeries. The owner was dumbfounded but willingly sold everything. He spent less than $100 to obtain about 400 loaves of bread (this is less than $0.25 per loaf) and spent another $100 to get daily necessities.
Off he went in the truck full of bread into the streets. As he distributed the bread and necessities to the children (mostly handicapped) and a few adults, he received cheers and bows from these unfortunate. For the first time in his life he wondered how people can give up their dignity for a loaf of bread which cost less than $0.25.
He began to tell himself how fortunate he is. How fortunate he is to be able to have a complete body, have a job! , have a family, have the chance to complain what food is nice and what isn't nice, have the chance to be clothed, have the many things that these people in front of him are deprived of...
"Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, it is the realization of how much you already have."
When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that! we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
You find life make things difficult for you, work , life , everything seems to go wrong...

school life
i have not been blogging since started my school life.. i think.. hmmm.. is really toucg initially as the course was shrink from an eleven months course to an eight months course.. so is kinda like being squizzed.. i mean the brain juices .. hehe.. but after awhile get used to the pace already.
i have a bunch of really fun classmates and of cos a fun group mates too..
initially kinda like have gap with some of them.. i mean my classmates .. due to the ' so called generation gap' as they are really SENIOR in age. haha.. although i am not the youngest in class but i do have a lot of nice classmates that really treat me like a younger sister especially my class rep and my 'lau por' in class.. haha.. 'lau por' this nick name kinda like given by others to this close friend of mine in class.. as they were saying that we will somehow be together wherever we go.. so is more like a twin thingy.. hehe.. and no doubt.. she is really caring and i really learn a lot from her experience and her knowledge as well.
binli is my another friend from this class.. she is really intelligent and of cos a bit bossy at times la.. but otherwise she is cute.. i mean her behaviour. haha.. really like to see guo bing ( lau por) verses binli.. hehe.. they really have a lot of arguement initially as they came from different views and perpectives.. but it was fun.. haha.. aaaannnnddd..
during this time.. i learn to really give and take.. and a lot of time.. i need to give more then taking it.. but i do feel satisfied as after giving i actually gain more.. u may somehow find it funny but .. this is what i really feel. there is no right and wrong in it.. but hehe.. i learn to change my views a lot of time here..
i started with feeling angry one of my groupmate but yet.. i learn that being angry will not help at all.. so, i put down all my anger and forgive.. right after that i do feel so much relief..and life can then move on.. right.. hehe..
besides that , i kinda glad that i do did well in my accademic... which really another boost to me.. in here i do need to testify how great is my Father in heaven.. if is not because of Him.. i will not be where i am now.. i learned not to complained, and of cos the best thing from Him that i learned was it is more blessed to give then to receive..
i think i shall stop here instead.. will come in once in awhile again Only if i m free.. bye.. God bless..

school days...
hello... it has been quite some time after the last post.. school started a month ago..there were so many things going on... going back to school may sound quite fun and somehow better than working of cos.. but there are too many things to take into consideration.. ie.. financially, stress coping, relationships, family....
is not easy for me.. esp these few weeks.. being a student does not mean i can forget all my responsibilities.. esp at home.. but i am so lucky to have such an understanding family..they supported me fully and with their understanding i can concerntrate in my studies instead..
