say it again for me~

so.... 3 months time is almost up. One final week to go. to be more exact, 5 days to go.

this 3 months have been awesome. ask the "me" from last year and she would probably say that i've done nothing. but the me now says the "things" are not defined plainly by work or how many ticks on the to do list, but the "things" are actually things that really matter. at least to me.

somehow i think God has His own plan on how i am to spend my days. As usual, my plan didn't work, since i did not accomplish half the things i wanna do. But honestly, no regrets! God's plan is always always always better! no no no, always always always the BEST. :D

i may not have build that dog house, but God gave me more than a dog house.
Being home alone the past 3 months makes me appreciate the chong chongs time more than ever. i loveeee tonight!

thank God for every blessed day and every person that He has purposefully placed in my days. Of the days planned and the days unplanned. when you learn to be contented, you learn that never a day is wasted! and i really wanna learn that again and again and again and again! :D

annie waist, as this week wraps with one final outing of the month, April shall start with a ball of fire, speed of lightning, bright as the sun, chill as the waterfall, happier than happy tree friends, sing like a singing bird, positive than a +ve ion attitude and together we CAN achieve great things that God has installed for us.

HA!    HA!    HA! 

with 3 big and loud laugh, may the next semester be an aweeeesomer than awesome one to set a final perfect wrap for our final.  With God, we can and we will! AMEN!

goodbye for a few months my dearest lepak friends. i will be back!

we don't keep in mind but at heart

If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you, to some extent -- not to put it too severely. The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient for him. Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. The reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything. if you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven -- if there was anything to forgive -- I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.

2 Corinthians 2: 5-11

what did i say?

dear God,

they looked for a miracle and found it in a song

tell me to read a christian related book few years back and i would imagine a boring thick book filled with deep verses which i could never comprehend. its like i need to prepare an army of tiny little brain cells to actually go through the pages.

however i changed my mind, after picking up a book. and perhaps at that time, it was the right book.
now, i like reading these books. i like to read how God works miracle in people's life.

Many times, people might think, christian life is always so perfect and awesome, they're always happy, they're always kind, they seldom get angry, and they always do the right thing.

Read a book and you'll know it isn't true.

Many inspiring books came from testimony of the once terrible, horrible life. Broken families, broken relationship, broken soul, tragic tragedy. Its because when those things happen, the life that was full of pride will finally allow God to come and take control of the actual fragile life.

we don't necessarily have to wait till bad things happen to do that do we?

And there is this misconception where people thinks coming to God is an escape to all problems. It will solve all your problems and you'll live happily ever after. But the actual happily ever after only comes when we're finally in heaven. As long as we're on earth, there will be tough times.

Being a christian doesn't make you less angry, it doesn't make being kind easier, and it definitely doesn't make sad things less sad. You still struggle like every people. and  its still very tempting to get angry at people when bad things happen, n i do mean cursing kind of angry. 

there are time when i was so tempted to get angry. so tempted to just curse like everyone else. there are times, when it seems so easy to just give up and give in.

and then i think of God. of the kind words He uses and the amount of time He forgive.
and then we go on and try a little harder. for Him.

the next book i'm gonna get :)

this caught my attention while blog hopping. challenge accepted! on ma way to find a jar. 

whatever this life brings

in that grape vineyard

i like how when the lecturer got carried away in his explanation, so excited in sharing his experiences till the theory lesson becomes a philosophy lesson. That is when the sleepy cells decided to go on a road trip and wouldn't be back till midnight.

so he was sharing bout ways to achieve your goal. and it got deep. yet still interesting.

i knew there was a subconscious state of mind, but i didn't know that it was a powerful stage that very much influential in determining whether we'll succeed or fail in our task. So he was sharing, in order to achieve my goal, i would have to keep telling myself in present tense. like, for example, if i want to do my assignment, what i would say is : " i want to finish my assignment by today". but in order to actually do it, i would have to tell myself : " i'm doing my assignment". see? present tense. like, to get rich you don't say you want to get rich. because that, is a desperate statement. its like you're in a needy situation. so, you say you're rich. and as you continue to believe that you are rich. You'll somehow be rich? i think thats what he meant.

hmm. i'm not sure how that works tho, but it somehow got some sense in it. 

and then there is also something about jotting it down and putting it somewhere you can see everyday. as you keep picturing yourself achieving that goal, your subconscious will naturally tuned in to achieve it.

i guess its all about having the right mind set. 

i like listening to stories. not so much of the made up stories, but more of the experiences that people has gone through to become the story. It just make them so much wiser after going through all sort of different paths. it may be happie stories, it may sad stories, nevertheless, its these stories that made them who they are, these stories that form the lines on their faces. 

i often imagine meeting a wise old man, with snowy white hair and a loud loud laugh. or maybe an old couple, where they'll invite me for tea in this small but comfy little house of theirs, in which it is filled with books of their generations and an old wooden piano. Then as we are having tea, he starts sharing on his adventures in how he used to be a soldier or sailor or aircraft fighters or some kind, sharing stories of days when they fought with blood and no fear. and then showing me how he got that big scar on his arm. then the kind lady would bring us more tea, laughing occasionally over jokes only they understand. Then the lady goes on telling how they met each other and finally got together, and how they got involved in mission trips. The journey took a different turn as they start going around places to build churches everywhere. how they started going into small villages to help the kids, watching God's plan unveiled in different ways.

and then perhaps, that will be the time i'll learn fishing and gardening from the wise man and also painting and cooking from the kind lady. Then somewhere along the way, i'll be really surprised to find out that, oh, actually that lady was a really famous architect. o.O and she starts sharing on how commercialized things have become in the industry and its difficult to stay away from the corruption and bad things. and i'll be inspired on not so much on how to be an architect, but how to hold onto doing the right thing while being a person. whether an architect or not. 

isn't that a great day to look forward to. :)
