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

MAY

Hmm a lot of people were asking me have I stopped blogging. Haha truth be told was super busy with work so no time to really pen down some events. Although I want to but in then also lazy la. Anyway, here's a little updates from me.........

I named my month of May as God is the God of faithfulness admist of troubles. To tell you the truth, May was not a good month at all. A lot of things happened during this month that left me in the dark sometimes and sometimes left me uncertain.

But I believe that God was in control of things. Last Sunday I played piano for service after a long absence from church. Auntie Emily sang one song that really touched my heart and would like to share with you guys.

You Are Faithful
Lord of all the earth
How You care for me
You have made me
You will save and carry me always

You are faithful
You are faithful
You are faithful
Your joy is my strength

Lord you are my God
I rely on You
I put my hope in things not seen
Your promises all true

Always you're with me
Your hand will lift me
My trust is in your hands

Somethings that have happened in snap shots:

Happy: 1) Attended Wan's wedding, congrats girl!
2) Had a pork party where HC cooked. Seriously everything was pork pork pork
3) My supervisor gave a very good review on my progress report
4) Had a good week with dear in Ipoh

Sad: 1) My supervisor resigned as deputy dean so it will be harder for me to get things
approved. But happy for her cause she is not in good of health
2) Lost 2 friendship :(
3) Was having stress when writing my journal

Prayer need: 1) My fellowship. Hopefuly can extend it

I pray that the month of June would be more fruitful and I hope to update and blog more.

Cheers

SPORT SUCKER

Haha it's official, I suck at sports. Oh well...you can't be good in everything. Haha it's true. Ever since in primary school, I've never excelled in sports. Don't get me wrong, I can play. I just don't play well.

For instance, I can't kick a damn football for nuts. So I never played it. Actually I don't even like it...(haha cannot understand why 22 ppl need to chase after one ball).

Badminton. I can hit the shuttle, but can't smash it.

Tennis. Just learnt how to play it, still bad but never won a match

Ping Pong. Can play but never won a match

Chess. Haha this is hilarious, I was the exco for the chess club in school but never won a match either

As u can see, I just naturally suck at sports. I pity those who have ever partnered me. I know they always feel frustrated when I'm playing next to them. So sorry guys, I'm just bad........Maybe I should stick to chasing games :P

CHICKY THE ORIGIN

Hmm I have a lot of people coming up to me and asking why the heck is my name Chicky...

It all started with in primary school . In standard 1, first day of class, got to know some new friends. And then they decided to give each other nicknames (so that we can remember each other). Well for those who dunno, my name is Chan Chee Kin. Haha so the closest they can think of for me is Chicken. Now before we can go on with that, I have another class mate whose name is Lau Chee Kin. So we can't be calling both of us chicken. So they decided to call him Kencing instead. Now being the new LaSallian (haha), I felt that the name Kencing sounds down grading (like chicken is not). I asked my friend when was his birthday. His birthday is earlier than mine, so I thought I have an idea. We should call him old chicken and then me young chicken. Haha well the gang was okay with it and for a few weeks I was called Young Chicken. I must add that we called each other in cantonese.

A few weeks later, the name kinda got harder to call, so they keep calling me Chick. Cause a baby chicken is called a chick. Now I think it's going to traumatize me if my friends call me Chick. Hmm so I decided to change it. So the whole night I was thinking what should I call myself.......And then it came to me CHICKY...........hahaha......told them the next day and hey presto I was Chicky ever since then.

Of course along the way, my name started to evolve. I had nicknames like Ken (Street Fighter), Alien, Baron, A.A., and many more.

Disclaimer: My nickname is no whatsoever related with Chicky from KFC haha. As far as I know it, my name came first!!!
