The stage is yours.

A very fine Saturday today, i woke up early and did my
devotion. It was a time to reflect

about life and what part

or role in life right now i'm taking as a christian.

It's never easy thinking back through the many years

and deciding which scene or part in our existance that we should

place most important.

or to zero into all of lifes happenings and wish that you could remember them clearly.

Well as i try to recall them all,

"time has a funny way on showing you that your aging by the minute".

i just pondered on the complex nature of God.

In my journey, God remains the same.

It wasn't Him that changed for me but rather i changed for Him.

Everyday of my life i knew it's gonna be a new change.

and a good change. For Him being the God that He is crystally reminded me that i could put my trust in him, that all i need and more is right here with me.

So having trust for something intangible cause me to really treasure this relationship cause

it's hardly easy to keep the bond secure if were out of sight.

even as an actress

regardless of the many flaws that occur on stage like forgetting the lines

or tripping in front of a thousand audience

or even being criticized for bad acting skills

i wanna be strong and unyielding

holding steadfast to my passion and keep on trying till i get it.

i wanna be trusting eventhough times are faced to the ground.

and i wanna be hopeful for whats yet to come.

so right now this very second i am an actress and i have a role to play.
not a big part but a part nonetheless.

what am i gonna do with this confidence?

take that role and make every moment of it count.

also with a little of class added to it ;)

Cake full of chocolate lurv.

today was a day full of pain and delight all at the same time. It started of with shopping, one of every girls favourite mode of entertainment and yes i was shopping alone. Well it wasn't that bad, got many things done in a short time and visited many outlets.
Unfortunately almost every clothing store i went to had prices way beyond my budget. So i just stared at them with absolute sorrow.. and passed by. =p

YES very painful to watch but i had to endure.

on the brighter side i got this white long sleeve top which i really like that can be worn on any occation and at the same time able to match with this awesome vest that i bought before.
That cost me only RM29 which was from forever 21. I thought it was a good investment. ;)
although it wasnt some fancy top...me like

Still the worst was yet to come.

Was really looking forward to going to this dinner that was planned a week ago and i told her i could come. But as usual my transportation bailed on me last minute and i couldn't go.
So as human as i can be i sulked and moped around the house like a sloth! haha...
but then i told myself, i'm not gonna let that get the better out of me. SO!
I came out with the most brilliant idea *ting!!* light bulb flashes

i was gonna bake myself a cake full of chocolate love.

and so i did. In the beggining i was quite curious cause according to instructions i had to leave the batter in the oven for an hour and a half. But in the end it came out preety moist.

on the inside that is.. it was completely burnt on the outside. Spent like 1/2 hour scraping of the burnt parts. After that had it coated with chocolate honey drip. Which was extreamily sweet!
but still delicious ;)

if you dont trust me, see for yourself....




okay me and my sister couldn't resist and had to nick a slice of "muahs" scrumptious cake.

living proof of almost half of the cake that was scraped of. The other half that was burnt to a crisp! :P

a very satisfied customer ;)

some more advertising....

Anyways the bottom line is that i ended the day well :)

my cake turned out OKAY, i bought a simple but nice top.* didn't splurge*

and overcame some of the worlds most crappiest moments.

So yea there are ups and there are downs but the moment we choose to take hold of the situation, the outcome is very rewarding... and i like to think that God has every influence in my choices. It's what makes me.

Rambut Potong.

i easily get bored with my hair style so i had to do something with it . i think it's inevitable for me to ever keep long hair.
sighh...

some of my seriously poser pictures, don't mind the face i'm actually promoting my hairstylist which i forgot to ask her name.

this beautiful dress that i spotted at "the island" however too expensive for my taste, or maybe too expensive for me to afford....
which reminds me... resolution no.9..=p









Thats what girls do...









girl's enter lala land...

more extream lala poses.













Snap back to reality..

Jack of all trades, master of none.

At the present,

i always say that i'm gonna do this or i'm gonna keep that or i'm gonna finish this or i'm gonna get that but it's rarely happening in "real life".

it's crazy how your long list of "things to do" which constantly plays in your mind keeps on piling up as we choose not to look after it. yes, it is true the longer the list grows the higher degree of stress we attain.

it's actually scientifically proven by the "National Place To Prove It's True".
So for what it's worth i believe that this year has to become some what of an accomplishment and in order to achieve that i am gonna have to take desperate measures.hence i have written a list of things which i must to do so that my miscellaneous will be much easier to handle.

Compulsary things to do:

1. Tidy up the bed.
2. Pick the poop
3. Bathe the dog
4. Clean the floor's
5. Study!
6. Drink water.
7. Feed the animals.
8. Study again!
9. Walk the dog?
10.JOG!

sounds like a fairly monotonous life, i know! it's kinda what goes through the four corners of my head every single day!. It's a vicious cycle that everybody goes through.

However through my life time experience it's not as uninteresting as it seems. There are always ways to create the fun out of all the boring-ness that we see.

So all i gotta do is think positive. Think that when i tidy up my bed i wouldn't have to do it later, or when i pick the poop i wouldn't have to pick it twice *just incase the scoop cannot contain all the poop the 1st round*, or when i bathe the dog my friends will have no reason whatsoever not to come and visit me, or when i drink water i wont have to complain of constipation =p... and so on. See i'm feeling the fun already.

Oh well it's something i have to do to keep myself entertained.

many things we say or think may eventually end up not being done, but it's not how many things you can achieve that makes a person but weather you did it with purpose for excellence that builds their character.

what's the first thing that comes to your mind when you see this?

i'm brain dead

literally!

Sleep typing.

haha! it's 3.17 in the morning and i'm still awake.

see what the hol's have done to me! i'm sleep typing ;) people should try it sometime.

crappy things about today:
1. Didn't get to go jogging. blame the rain.

2. Picked up pepper's du. yuck!

happy things about today:
1. Convinced mummy to buy ingredients for cupcakes.

2. Choose my songs for worship. ;)

3. Sang in the bathroom. *its amazing how well i can sing in there*

4. Panged.

5. Watched a bit of grey's.

6. Visited granparents.

7. Saw this really funny random dude with an afro hairstyle and massive glasses. *classic*

8. OoOHh!!....and danced to the song "dancing queen" in the car while the music was on. i think i officially scared the taxi driver on my left. :)

happy moments:bad moments
8:2

conclusion=a good day.

Sometimes screaming just wont do.

there are moments in your life when you just feel like shouting or yelling or something which makes an extreamily loud and annoying sound. ahhhhhh!!!

haha okay just a random thought.

Ever felt like the smallest thing we do or don't do make you just say something or shout. You wanna say it out loud so that everyone will know what your true feelings are and well the expression is kinda shared which seizes the moment a little longer.
Obviously the emotions are triggered by someone else, a human, an event or even an animal.
well these emotions are exactly the reason why we so loudly scream.

......."calling mel to earth"......

yea, well i have had my fair share of screams the past few days/months including last year. both good and bad. it all begins with the unexpected and then triggers the suprise element. well speaking of suprises, december really did a fast one on me.

In the midst of my very long busy, hectic holidays *can you imagine* i was anxiously waiting for a reply from my university and because i only applied for that particular one i really depended on it. It was my only chance of fufilling my "cita-cita" =p so to say. So i waited and waited yet no reply.

As my waiting prolonged i realised that my anxiety became less. i worried less and had this funny peaceful feeling inside. i liked it. It gave me the assurance that all will go well.

ok i know your getting bored so to cut the extreamily long long story short [trust me i can go on forever], i got into the uni that i wanted. It wasn't the best there was despite the career i choose but i think it a privilage to have entered it.

Now this gave me that tingling sensation, an inner scream that most definitely could not be defined even out loud. I was more than just happy, i felt like i belong. Most importantly i knew God had answered my prayer right from the moment i decided to follow his way.

never thought i'd say this but i'm really looking forward to this year. It may not be easy but i dare say i trust You with everything i've got.
It's gonna be awesome.

RESOLUTIONS?

yes it's much easier said than done..... so how does one do it?
what a better way than to post it here so that all my readers that now know my "resolutions" can remind me. i'm counting on you! it may not be an easy task but i'm trusting my"year" into the palm of your hands.......

yea right!!!

haha, coming back...these are a few of the many things i wish to achieve this year:

firstly, i absolutely want to

increase in my love for jesus

with all my heart.

want to grow in my
worship
for Jesus within Nst
and also my daily devotion.










pray with a wholehearted
faith.








become the geekiest geek alive.




be more
daring to do
crazy stunts.









develop a closer bond with my girlfriends.







treasure and appreciate all my friends.

expand my knowledge by sense of reading.

turn away from all my bad habits.

f.y.i~ i don't smoke or drink...the rest, haha maybe i need to cut down :P

believe in the impossible.

Every journey starts with but a single step.

so far it's been a great year, it's only 11 days past 2008 and i'm enjoying every bit of it.

well at least for now :P regardless of the past i am absolutely anxious for this year.

Now although people has been talking about how fast days and months in a year past by, i really want my year to count.

so i ask myself [again] how so? well in order to begin i have to place a reason for the year and the very reason is change. what is life and who are we if we remain the same year after year?

so i told myself: change thats what i want and the only way to make it is to be it!

comparing last year, mistakes have changed me and decisions have mold me. i grew mainly in my character and discovering more of myself. It's definitely been a challenging yet a thankful year. so many things to grumble about yet with one thing grumble about i find a thousand other things i can give thanks for.

with this year i want to grow and not just grow grow but really bloom and be fruitful.

hence with every decision that i make, i'd want to know that my ability to recieve and contain anything that comes my way will keep on increasing and increasing to greater heights.

then again what is words if there are no actions? what is love if you cant have it forever? what is passion if it's for the wrong cause? what is life without a reason for living?

"As a dream comes when there are many cares,

so the speech of a fool when there are many words"

"Much dreaming and many words are meaningless.

therefore stand in awe of God"

Ecclesiastes 5 : 3 & 7

mission trip to the mokens~an eye opener,

changed my perspective

towards mission's and life. truly one of my greatest
highlights of the year.

these are part of the many awesome pictures i took during 2008.

what makes it extra awesome is the faces in the pictures {corny i know} :P

but true nonetheless.

hope to share the joy and laughter once again this year!

love ya'll

Lets start from the beginning

Time flies by so fast and it's a new year!
wow so many things to do so little time :P

incredible how easy it is to jump from one blog to another.trust me, i've had my fair share in that

and probably will be in the very near future. oh well, another thing to add to my

"2009 resolution list" : stick to one blog and feed it please!

yeap thats one out of the many i've

made and yet to make.

with so much on my plate this year and the big "TEA" around the

corner it's difficult to predict my very

existance for the future of 2009.

yeap it certainly is, knowing very well that i'm entering university and embarking on a rather challenging "quest" per-se.

i ask myself, do i fear of whats about to come,

well something inside me tells me
i should yet something else tells me take a

chance and so i did. . . . still not regretting it and excitement flows through my veins! :) whoptydoo! so all in all, i can't wait for what this year has install for me and charging ahead to attain the unpredictable..... if that made sense at all :P
