15th OF JUNE

I can't believe it's been 1 year. Yes I've crossed my 5th year here in USM KKj. Today onwards, I'm starting my 6th year. Hmm........1 year so fast. Cannot really believe that

A year ago, I decided to make the biggest decision of staying back another few years for my masters. I still remember it was Friday that my dad took my back here. It was almost like being in first year. He helped me cleaned up before leaving and then asked whether I want to follow him back. I said no. After meeting my supervisor, it was only 3 pm. And I was feeling lonely all the sudden. So I decided to follow a friend back to Ipoh.

A year ago, I was kicked out of hostel and forced to live outside. For a while it was enjoyable, but I missed hostel life. Thank God after 3 months, I was able to move back into hostel and still enjoying every moment of it.

A year ago, I really had no clue what my research is about. I can still remember the tonnes of journal I had to read and the tonnes of websites I had to digest before moving on. The many proposals, corrections and craziness in preparing myself. Now I'm half way done, and I've learnt so much.

A year ago, I cannot imagine where my funds would come. Although Uncle Frank gave me my initial start, but that money won't last me until I finished. Praise God for his faithfulness, I got a scholarship from USM and currently just doing my work and fulfilling their needs as a GA.

A year ago, I was all ready to become an advisor to the CF. I've learnt so much from being a listener. But it was hard, I tend to give my views and comments as a senior. Learning to let go and learning to just listen. Give advices where needed.

So much has happened......and I really thank God for it all

GOSPEL TRUTH

Was blog hopping some random blogs and stumbled upon a blog by one of my brother's friend....was intrigued and cannot stop thinking about one of the statments he put in his blog

"If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself"

Saint Augustine

How many times have we tried to reason with God about what believing in Him really means? Hmm I have to admit, I'm guilty in this area many times..........

NEVER ALONE

A song introduced by a internet friend.

Never alone
-by Jim Brickman
May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when its time to go home
May you always have plenty
The glass never empty
Know in your belly
You're never alone

May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
As every year passes
They mean more than gold
May you win and stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone

I have to be honest
As much as I wanted
I'm not gonna promise that cold winds won't blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

HORTON HEARS A WHO

Recently got to watch some animations. Haven't really seen one for a long time. And I stumbled upon this new animation called 'Horton Hears a Who'. An adaptation from a book of the same name by the famous Dr. Seuss. Now I remember watching an episode in Oprah about this. She said that Dr. Seuss is such a deep deep person. I really think he is. You can imagine the messages you can get from the movie. The movie has the voice of Jim Carrey, Steve Carell and the ever great Carol Burnett. 3 funny people to make this funny and yet touching movie. If you can go check it out.



Here are two quotes that inspired me:



"A person's a person, no matter how small...........................Horton"



"I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful, 100%.............Horton"



Hmm some things to think about don't you think so

ZONED OUT

Hmm been feeling rather zoned out lately. Dunno is it because that not many people are around here to talk to anymore. Don't get me wrong, I do still talk to my coursemates and all but it's just something different when you have the people with he same wave length to talk to.

I have been feeling rather emo lately too (but some people claims that I'm very emo always). I keep thinking too much into the future and also too much into the negative side of it.

Had a great weekend in Camerons. Was involved with a Church Camp where I helped out in the Children's Department. The kids were fantastic (well almost all of them). Of course there are some wayward kids who cannot keep their mouth shut. But all in all a great camp to help me get in touch with God.

Another great news is that if I get my extension, my parents have agreed that it's time for me to get a CAR!!!! Praise God, something which I have been praying for like a few yrs dee. So please pray together with me so that my scholarship can be extended.
