passing by another year

Christmas is just TWO days away! wow! and that means the year is nearing to its end too. wow! another year. time indeed flies. i can still vividly remember last Christmas and now one year has passed.

Christmas sends a simple yet significant message that is still not known to many i believe. it's not about Santa (i dont know where that white-beard guy came from anyway), neither is it bout gifts nor parties. it all about a simple story with profound message.
it's about JESUS CHRIST. this was the day that He was born and sent down to earth for both you and me, a day of rejoice. this little baby born in a manger was sent to earth for a mission - to die for the sins of you and me that we would be reconciled with God. without this baby boy we're heading hell.
so Christmas is a day to rejoice and be glad in it, for this is the day that our Saviour was born :)


of course parties and gifts and fun are not wrong, it's just that make sure this day is celebrated for it's real reason-Jesus. so go!! be merry and celebrate :)

being the girl i am

guess what i've been doing since yesterday? ;) i've been window shopping online!! i didnt know how fun and interesting it could be! haha. i've heard of local online boutiques that operates through blogs but have not actually took the time to see them. now that i have, i'm so hooked on it :p it's really fun i tell you! screening through pretty clothes, shoes and bags at reasonable prices. these stuff seem to look more affordable online...i dont know why. oh oh!! i just ordered a mini handbag. hehe. i've enquired on a number of things and am waiting for their replies to decide which one to buy. they're my christmas presents la c'mon...more accurately, self-given presents :p haha

here are some of the sites:
Ultimate Dazzle
The Luxurious Fashionista
Elegant Extravaganza
Clothes Bucket

work has been rather dull and boring. to prove it...my boss just yawned...loudly.

man...the year is ending very soon. how time flies....sigh....

i know my God is real and nothing will change how i feel

today's my first day back to work after two days on sick leave. the sore throat was no fun. i woke up on thursday to a hoarse voice which eventually became worse that i could barely speak :p and the pills...eeww...never liked them. why cant all pills be teeny-weeny shapes. why must there be some gigantic pills that are so hard to swallow. ee....

the sleep-in(s) and afternoon naps were good though :) hehe

*****************************************************************
vbs was great! the kids were awesome! the teachers and volunteers were the best but God was amazing throughout the three days!!

this year adrienne and i took the preschool class. the kids range from age three to five. man...they are so adorable and cute!! every single one of them are so special. no wonder they are precious in God's eyes ;)

check them out:
the songs were addictive. seriously. i was even singing it in my sleep :p

this where i will be spending most of my time, unfortunately :p

my workstation (1)
my workstation (2)

my workstation (3)


the counter where we meet students


the whole office from main door

ok...off to lunch. McD! :)

another new start

it's one minute to 9am now and im the only one in the office. starting to worry if i should be here or back at the old place. man....

i've moved to the new office yesterday and honestly, i dont really like it :p it's not the place, it's just the whole getting-used-to-it feeling. i've just finally got myself settled in and gotten used to that place, now they wanna move. i wshed they had done it earlier. now i have to start all over. new desk, new work station, new pantry, new route and even new toilet. sheesh...
this keyboard position is so uncomfortable and this work station is so exposed. i had alot of privacy in the previous one. now its like every thing i do can be seen :p

ok it's 8 minutes past nine and there's no one here still.

it is so the 50's

M: we were talking then she came to this part.."give me ivy's email address, i pass to him then they can send emails to each other."

I: NO......!!!

M: listen first la...then i said to her "i dont think ivy would like it, let me ask her permission first." then shes said "haiya...not love love ma, just write letters only." i said "never mind let me ask ivy first k."

I: phew.....

see, the story goes like this...at my grand cousin's wedding last saturday, my grandaunt (not the bride's mum) wanted to intro me to this single doctor from Ireland, a friend of the bride. huh? intro? you might ask. yes. in this 20th century. and the conversation above, was my mum telling me what she had talked to that aunt the phone earlier yesterday, which was like three days after her first attempt on saturday....and she still didnt give up :p

this was how it went:

A: come ivy, i want to introduce you to Dr M (not Mahathir :p).

I: huh? doctor who?

A: Dr M, Aleena's friend from Ireland. come come...i want to introduce both of you.

I: huh??!! no no...dont want la aunty (trying to sound as polite as possible), i can find my own boyfriend :p

A: *turns to my cousin who just joined the conversation* ah..come michelle, i introduce you to Dr M.

M: huh? what? who?

A: *pulls her hand into the house towards Dr M*

then i dont know what happened but my cousin came out very fast.

A: *drags (literally) my hand into the house towards Dr M*

I: *showing the "Help me" look to my cousins*

A: ah...Dr M this is ivy. Ivy this is Dr M

Dr M: oh oh... *shakes my hand* nice to meet you ivy.

I: *mind went blank as everyone stares* er...Hi (shakes back his hand) *turns around and slowly walks away*

man...it was so awfully awkward. but honestly, i pity Dr M more. i mean he's a guy and a professional for that matter. and here goes this aunt of mine, publicly declaring that he's single and as if saying "Dr M, why at this age still dont have girlfriend ar..some more a doctor. here let me get you one." well..at least that's how i felt what my aunt was trying to convey indirectly. i mean...he looks like a nice guy, seriously, so dont have to say so openly and loudly when introducing la. kesian that fella. i'm a girl and i'm still young (20 is not old ok :) so i dont really care. but i feel sorry for him la. the whole day was kinda awkward after that. haha.

sorry Dr M ! :) at least i kept your privacy by not disclosing your name XD

i've finally found someone, someone to share my life

love was in the air. technically. everyone was so filled with joy and happiness and most of all, filled with love. the night before the wedding we were singing love songs on the karaoke, then everywhere was filled with symbols of love i.e pink and red roses, heart shape chocolates and in the ballroom dinner was accompanied by love songs that were played throughout the night. it was all bout love. that is why i love weddings :)

it was really heart warming to see the happy faces and hear the laughters of my family during my grandcousin's wedding. everyone was having pure fun. i also love it that my family is a multi-racial family. we have chinese, indians, malays and even eurasians. a true malaysian family i would say. oh and guess what, the best man was a malay and the bride's maid was an indian. now that's what i call muhibah :)
all in all, i enjoyed every bit of it :) and to Daniel and Aleena, all the best as you journey in this new chapter together! may the love of God be filled in your marriage :)

and and and...Aleena, in case u stumble upon this blog, you looked absolutely gorgeous!! :)
there were actually tons of pictures but i dont know why my cousins didnt upload them. or else i could have 'stolen' more to post it up :p


ps: that's nine 'love' in one single post. and it just became ten. haha

mission accomplished

notice that i've been blogging three consecutive days? good. it shows that you've been reading my blog for three consecutive days which puts in the same position...bored :p hehe.
well before you give your verdict, let me explain why have i been blogging for three days when i'm supposed to be working. ok here's why:

1. my senior senior is, was and will be on MC
2. i've done whatever i'm supposed to do
3. low activity season
4. there's really nothing to do
5. i'll be embarrassed if i walk over to my senior and ask if there's anything to do again cause i've done that countless times :p
6. my senior is also free, so that shows that there's really no work :)

******************************************************************
so...i did manage to get myself something decent for the wedding dinner after three hours of solo shopping last saturday. it's not too bad really. it's a dress :) and i like it (duh! i chose it). it's not to o formal and not too casual. i also got my self a pair of heels at a pretty unexpected price (that means cheap) and a working shirt. so yea...quite happy :). then i also got my mum a blouse and my sis a top and cute pinky hairbands. didnt have enough $$ for Ivan though. hehe. he'll have to wait till Christmas :p it was a fruitful day despite the painful soles. hehe


now i've nothing else to do. why dont they put sofa beds in offices XD

it is all Your will O Lord

i'm so bored. i've just read my entire past posts. man...i feel like sleeping....zzzzzz

after reading those posts, frankly speaking, i was pretty surprise. haha. based on the amount of emotions i've put in when writing those posts, i least aspect i'm of that type. haha. but i guess a lil of emotion cant do any harm :p
well..i must say alot has change since. and i mean alot. mostly positive ones. myself for one have change too and hopefully for the better. God has indeed been faithful. despite my disobedience, lack of faith and pride sometimes, He stuck to me. what more can i ask of my Father? at times i wish i was wiser at those time when i needed too but i figured if i was wise i wouldn't have needed God. and thus, not realise how deep is His love for me. reading those posts, i really am grateful for the one Friend that was there for me through thick and thin, my dearest Lord Jesus, couldn't have gone through without Him.

"He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it." i Thessalonians 5.24

true colors caught on camera

yup. that's my sister.

all the little blessings

i'm at work now and kinda free. so thought could do some blogging on random stuff. hehe

after work today i thought i'd go shopping at midvalley or sunway pyramid. i need to get at least something decent for my grandcousin's wedding that's coming up next saturday. this is one wedding that i think i would at least have some fun after all the unknown weddings i've been to, that ppl only go to show face, eat some food and go home. at least this time is a closer relative. pretty exciting :) so yea...i must get something nice! haha. i've actually went on a scout last night after work and spotted a couple of pretty blouses. so hopefully i'll be able to get one today...at least.

bus and train have become my secondary transport and almost primary. aahh..no! hopefully not :p practically every single day except sundays, i ride on either one of them. so sad :( haha. and man...ktm is one 'special' train you should try to avoid taking..especially on weekdays. unfortunately for me, i have no choice. i think it's worse than sardines. i dont even have to move and people will push me in to the train. in the train, everyone's so squashed that you only have enough room for breathing. also, its like a mini wave in there when squashed passengers 'flow' according to the movement of the train..especially the people in the middle who have no poles to cling on to. yes. it IS fun. it gets better when you get people around you who cough and sneeze without covering their mouths and nose. wa...!! i dont know bout others but i kinda have phobia bout that. i imagine the germs floating in the air and then enter into my nostrils and it'll be stuck in my head till i reach my station and get out. eee...cannot tahan.
BUT i still thank God for these public transports. without them i would have to be stuck in my remotely placed home :p haha

*out of boredom, i've highlighted my favourite things in life.

lest i forget

Lest I forget Gethsemane,

Lest I forget Thine agony;

Lest I forget Thy love for me,

Lead me to Calvary.

potatoes and gate

we finally made the mashed potato! and it was good! i couldn't believe that at the first try it turned out pretty decent. well actually pretty good :p hehe. we didnt use any measurements whatsoever...we just 'campak' the ingredients in with rough estimation. not bad huh? haha

then while the girls...well technically there were two girls and a 'girl'' :p - made the mashed potato, the guys painted robert's gate.

btw bryan painted too...he took some time off to test his photography skills :)

then after everything was done, that was bout 11pm...we decided to have a night picnic by the poolside.

judging from the faces...i can prove that i was right..it was good :) yum!

full and happy.

KL - a place of wonder

now that i've ventured into working life, i know what do people mean they say they have no time. u know why? that's because all their time are wasted in traffic jams! and i tell u, i speak this based on experience. yesterday itself i took 3 1/2 solid hours to reach home. i reached home at 9pm! the jam was massive but thank God i managed to get seats :) or else my leg would have patah-ed :p

i seriously wonder where do these tons of people come from? can KL hold so many people? haha. it's like there's no escape route for me. every transport i take is jam packed with people. almost everyday i have to wrestle with crowds to get into the bus and most of the time its not the matter of seats anymore, its whether can we actually board the bus. there are times when the bus doesn't even stop, leaving all the eager and anxious passengers-to-be standing there like 'dong-dong' and that includes me :p

i was just thinkin, when do i have time to go shopping? i cant seem to think of when. i need a new pair of shoes and new wallet. i also dont know when will be the next time i go out for movies. what's the latest movie ar? haiz...macam mana ni. haha

oh oh. there's something i found out on thrusday that shocked me to death...ok maybe not death but close. my colleague, the only one will be working with me under mr.chia (my boss), is staying in the same area as me! and same section! wait there's more...same road! my goodness, when i found out i was like "huh??!!" she lives just about 10metres down the road. a small world indeed. haha.

when the day feels like night

goodness...i'm so bored that i've yawned a hundred times i think today. completed all my work and everyone's so busy to pass me work. can't even recall how many times i've walked back and forth the counter and my desk. sleepy sleepy sleepy....

wow

yop. wow. cant believe i'm actually working. and honestly, it's really not as fun as i thought it would be. i guess the part that make it suck is the journey. it's like a crazy adventure every morning and evening. chasing trains and buses, in short chasing time. but its great to have adrienne around cuz it makes this place less alien. oh and aunty pui fun too. i've just finished a briefing session with a senior on what will be my job when we move to the new office later this month. my oh my...just listening to her makes my head spin. i wonder what it's like when it actually comes along. i dont think i want to picture it for now. even as at now, my life is fast forwarded already. basically similar to having no life :p everyday leave home at 6.30am then reach home by 7.30 earliest then go to sleep at 10.30. haiyo...but i guess that's working life. everyone goes through the same thing unless you're a heir or happen to be married to a rich husband ;) (for ladies la...man got no choice but to work. hehe)

so...i've not been writting for quite a while, a month and six days to be exact. so much going on since the last post. exams, interview, house moving (not mine, adrienne's and robert's) and then finally work. i'm so looking forward to weekends now and holidays :p haha

i dont think i'll be writing any soon unless i have free time which i doubt. so i guess for now that all the updates i've got. till then, toodles :)

meow meow

took care of my aunts kittens for a couple of days when she was away. they have no name cause my cousin is too lazy to give them a name. so we just call them the black and white one :p

they're just so adorable!!!

i love the white one more...he's sooo cute!! :)

how great is our God

i've just come to realise that i didn't notice anything bout the bands that were playing during Passion KL last Sunday. my cousin was like "the drummer changed u know when charlie hall sang" and i was like "ya meh?". i didn't even noticed when charlie hall came out until bryan pointed put to me so how was i supposed to notice his drummer.suprisingly i wasn't star struck or whatsoever at the sight of these singers. all my attention was on the One above.nothing about chris tomlin, charlie hall or louie giglio could distract me from the One whose name was so highly lifted up that night.nothing.

if only everyone could see how gloriously His renown was being proclaimed,the picture of the lyrics "how great is our God...and all will see how great is our God" will be made much clearer.

i stand in awe of Him. indeed His name is to be praised above all else.

look at the stars

three more days and i have not even started on my International Business assignment. great. this is my last sem. even better. -_-

Passion = awesome !!!
