Results
Doc did a mini blood test (super mini-she just pricked my finger and came up with a whole lot of numbers)
Denggi - Nope! Thank God. Don't wanna be getting it for the 2nd time. It's no fun. My platelet count was 145. If it's below 100, then it could possibly be denggi.
H1N1 - Nope! Praise God. My infection rate or something was way above normal.
Dehydration - YUP! I hadn't been drinking enough water over the weekend so I was terribly dehydrated.
Red Blood Cell Count - LOW! My count was way below normal. Not sure why though.
Doc said that I'm taking longer to recover this time cos I'm not drinking enough water and getting tired easily as my red blood cell count is low. Also the antibiotics that were given earlier did not work as they were not strong enough. I've been taking Augmentin for sometime now, so the milder antibiotics will either not work for me or I'll take a longer time to recover. So now I'm back on Augmentin.
I feel a little better today, but not 100% yet. I still feel a little weak and tired.
I'll probably go do a full medical work-up this weekend, or once I'm completely better. It's been a exactly a year now since I last did it.

Rocked it!
So I prayed and prayed and prayed.. for favor most of all.. and that God would set the scene and 'soften' their hearts hehe..
And guess what.. God never fails to turn up! As I presented, my director said, 'Well if that's the direction that the Group wants to head in, then we'll just follow suit'.. Woohoo!! She was very pleased with the presentation and the content of it.. she then later went to my unit head, and told him that she was really happy that a lot of work has been put into the project so far and she's pleased with the update.. Thank You Lord for Favor!! That was a relieve..
Until.. until.. she goes.. 'Ok, I would like you to present this at the GHRC.. (the meeting in which our CEO and other top directors sit in) to update them on the progress..
Ggrrrrrr.... now I'm nervous again..
But I know without a doubt that God's gonna guide me through and give met the wisdom to answer all any/all questions that will be asked..
Thank you Lord for this amazing opportunity.. Help me to excel and bring this project to it's fullest fullest potential.. May your name be glorified..

You'd think I'd get better by morning.. but sigh! I'm at work now trying to breath through my mouth and trying so hard to not scratch my eyes..
Doesn't help that I'm still recovering from my fever as well..

Beloved
I went for the rehearsal last nite, and boy have they put up a wonderful drama.
Come, be intrigued and amazed at the expanse of God's love for YOU - His BELOVED!


For centuries, the story of Jesus' birth, crucifixion, and resurrection has been told over and over again, accompanied by accounts of His miraculous ministry and those who chose to believe in Him and His saving grace; but little do many know about or have delved deeper into the roles of the host of angels who were close to Jesus in His mortal life.
Beloved, an Easter drama, aims to shed some light on the relationship of Jesus and the angels, their struggles, and how they played an integral part in fulfilling God's sovereign and perfect will in His life, so that He could overcome the grave and redeem us from the grasp of sin and death!
BELOVED - An Easter Drama
The greatest event ever since creation was about to unfold . . .
God was to reveal His purpose.
A purpose that ultimately showed His True Love … for You .. and Me
A Love so great that even the Heavenly Host could not fathom.
A Love so pure even Angels wept
Watch the unfolding of this Purpose
And witness a love so immense it stopped all of heaven
And changed all of earth

To ask or not to ask?
Then as I was driving to ATC on Sat morning, my mind was still swirling about it.. PJK was in the car with me and prepping for her sharing.. when suddenly she goes.. "you know, sometimes we just can't figure things out in life.. we just gotto move on and not worry about all the petty little things. Sometimes it's just not important to figure it out"...
Whoa! That's freaky man.. the way she just said that out..
But yea I guess God speaks and acts in mysterious ways sometimes and I love the way He just speaks through people and circumstances..

Sawadika
Mum and I plan to go for a 1-Day Thai Cooking Class, in hopes to learn 6-8 authentic Thai dishes.. Yums!
I think we're really looking forward to the shopping, food and the MASSAGES! But most of all, the quality time together.

It's been a year
Will I let that affect me? No Way! It did for a couple of days initially but I got over it when I realized that it didn't really matter anymore..
I think I've grown more in this one year, I've learnt to look for different qualities in people.. Realized that my 'list' isn't necessarily God's 'list' for me..
I'm so grateful for God's grace.. I'm only able to stand and get through this one year because His grace and mercy for me are new everyday.. And this is the grace that I need to hold on to for the years to come..

African CNY Bash
I've missed the international cell a lot. I didn't realise just how much till last night. It's been months since I last visited cell due to different commitments and no cell being held end of last year. Missed the people the most. They're such a loving bunch, and not to mention crazy!!
PSP, Zulu & Sarah & the other leaders in cyber did an awesome job planning for yesterday. From the onstart, there was such a CNY feel to the party, from CNY deco and games to Chinese Fried Rice and Ang Pao packet tokens.. I'm so inspired now to prep some CNY tokens for our CNY bash this Friday, and with Friday being a public holiday, I got lotsa time to do so.
Maybe I should head to Old Town to get some lanterns and streamers as well to give it the CNY feel.. Hmm something to go discuss with my leaders.
Wednesday, February 17, 2010
I wish..
I managed to do quite a bit over the 4-day holiday.. not all that I wanted that I planned for though.. but nevertheless quite a bit..
* Played boardgames with old cellies on Friday nite.. It was fun.. Been about a year since I last played with them..
* Watched 'True Legend' with parents on Sat morning.. Hmm not a good show.. Wouldn't recc it to anyone..
* Made toffee for my girls and packed them up in pretty lil packets with pretty lil pink & red bows
* Reunion dinner at Sarah's home.. She's such a sweetheart to invite me..
* First day of CNY visiting Jaylen in Rawang.. Good food and WII.. 'shake that hips'' lol
* Spend Valentines' Day with Khan.. and 'bolly girls' haha and got 'persuaded' into a sleepover..
* Cooked chicken varuval, rasam & katrika veg for parents on Monday..
* Worked on my art project.. Sigh! Still a long way to go..
* Lunch with Sue & Alvina on Tue... Took us about half an hour though trying to find a restaurant that was open.. We finally landed in Bandar Baru Ampang..
* Spend half a day at Little India in KL with Sue buying stuff, discovering Hanifa and drinking pasumpal tea with Gulab Jamun..
* Visited Nick & Sara's home and saw their tall baby, Nathan.. he's so adorable..
So I would say it was a productive 4 days.. Right right?? hehe
** Did anyone else notice how awesomely empty the roads were this morning?

Much Welcomed Break
Wanna catch up on some baking.. I'm thinking of spending Saturday baking goodies for my girls.. Last year was Soft Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies.. What's on the menu this year?
This will also be a good time to 'try' and finish my art project that I started on 2 years ago.. I'm about 60% done.. I've bought the threads.. now just got to sit my butt down and work on it.. It's gonna be a beautiful piece once I'm done though..
I was also recently assigned to 2 new projects at work.. have to pray for wisdom & creativity.. Let those juices flow.. Amen! Probably spend a day working on that..
Many have already started travelling home last night I think or rather many are on leave today.. Cos I reached office in under 20 minutes! Bliss!
So yea, today's gonna be an awesome day cos it's leading up to 4 days of break!!!
Hopefully I'll be able to clear up all my work before I leave..

Blessings Double Fold
So I finally got myself a new phone last weekend.. My SE K660i gave its last breath last Sun.. That phone gave me so much trouble in the last 1.5 years.. sigh! I shall not even get into it..But yea, got this baby at a really cool price... There was a promo going on for that one day that I went to buy it (God's so good rite?) and I traded in my old phone..
Then my dad says that he'll pay 50% for the new one.. Something which I didn't expect as I was already prepared to pay the full price.. I love my daddy.. =) both of them..
So I'm still getting use to the keypad.. Can't type as fast or without looking.. hehe.. But I reckon with practice I'll be able to in no time..
I've also been meaning to get myself some new dance shoes cos the old ones are just too old la and not very appropriate for ballroom dancing..Just last week at class I tried out the sizes and patterns and told the lady I'll come back the following week (yesterday) to get it.. So anyways, I went to class yesterday and guess what... They were clearing stock!!!! and all shoes were 50% off..
So I got myself 2 pairs for the price of one.. One was exactly like the picture above, except that it's coffee colour.. and the other one is red and slightly different in style..
So in just 2 days, I've received blessings double fold.. God never fails to bless as we continue to give and sow..

Weekend came.. Weekend went..
Didn’t get to sleep in on both days but rather had to wake up like before 6am.. =(
On Sat, I had to attend a HR Business Plan Workshop at our HQ in KL.. Session started at 8am and lasted through to 11am.. I was not really looking forward to it, being a Sat.. its suppose to be my rest day but was glad that I attended it.. (not that I had a choice la.. it was stated pretty boldly that it was compulsory haha)
Being a newbie here and still not knowing lots about the company, the workshop really gave me an insight to it. Got more in-depth information about our Regional Operating Model and our organisation structure. Business plans for all the units in HR were shared and I got an overall view of the business plans instead of a limited view of my own unit's business plans only. At the end of the session, we were required to craft our own Individual Development Plan for our own personal growth in order for us to be able to support the department's strategic vision and to perform our duties more effectively – here I was able to state the different units/departments that I would like to be rotated in future, the trainings that I would like to attend, the different ad-hoc projects that I wanna be apart of. So it was a fruitful 3 hours. Plus point also the session was fun, not boring.. Our Group Corporate Resources Director lead the session, and my that lady dynamic..
So yea weekend started off with a great start.. But everything after that just happened so quickly.. More updates later.. Got to work now..

New Year, New Phone??
It's been dying for sometime.. in the 1st year of warranty, I sent it in to the 'workshop' bout 4 times..
It just hangs, goes on auto-off mode, inactive sim..
Now it's latest trick is to go on this 'demo' mode..
Takes me at least like 10-15mins to get it back on..
And the most annoying part is when I'm on the phone with someone, it just decides to switch off on its own.. and it takes forever to get back online..
Any suggestions on phones to get??
2010 - Year Of Favor!
What is Favor?
Favor is is different from Grace, although it comes from the same root word. Grace is undeserved, unmerited. But the Bible is full of instruction about how we can obtain favor. Favor comes upon those who are watching, waiting, praying, keeping His commands, walking in kindness and truth… All of these things produce Favor! We live in the Favor of the Lord through prayer, faith, obedience and perseverance. Our prayer life, our faith in God and His Word, our obedience to God and our perseverance all determine the level of God’s favor in our lives and church.
So for 2010, we urge you to read through the 10 Blessings below that the Favor of God will produce, and as it “hits” you, claim it for yourself in 2010!!
10 Blessings that the FAVOR of God will produce!
1.God’s favor can produce supernatural promotion and increase (Gen 39:21)
2.God’s favor bring restorationof everything the enemy has stolen (Exo 3:21)
3.God’s favor bring honor in the midst of adversaries (Exo 11:3)
4.God’s favor can produce increased assets (Deut 33:23)
5.God’s favor can give great and unsual victories even against impossible odds (Jos 6:20; 10:9,20)
6.God’s favor can give recognition and promotion even when you seem to be the least likely one to receive it (1 Sam 16:22)
7.God’s favor can produce prominence and preferential treatment, favor and kindness (Est 5:8)
8.God’s favor gets petitions granted, even by ungodly civil authority (Est 8:5)
9.God’s favor can change rules, regulations, even laws if necessary to your advantage (Est 8:5)
10.God’s favor can win battles you did not even have to fight because God will fight them for you (Ps 44:3)
Have a Glorious Blessed and FAVOURABLE year for 2010!!
** Thanks Daren..

Came home and finished wrapping up 90% of the presents.. The tree is overflowing with presents this year.. last year, we didn't shop for the extended family.. but this year, parents are going back to Ipoh to celebrate Christmas so we bought gifts for all the cousins, nephew & nieces and some of my mum's siblings..
Baked some cookies with mum.. Tried to ice them, but hand was not so steady la.. so a lil crooked here and there.. so for those of you who get the crooked ones, just remember it was made with love k? haha..
Tomorrow I've just got to shop for a couple more people.. special people.. =) already have in mind what I'm gonna get them so that would be easy..

APYAC
It was an awesome 3-day conference.. It was a miracle that I was even able to go for it.. Signed up for it long time back during the ‘early bird’ period.. but then decided that I wouldn’t go for the conference cos I just started work and felt that it wouldn’t be good to apply for leave so soon la..
Then on the 6th Dec, we had a consecration prayer and I decided then that I would build up the courage to go and ask my boss for leave as I wanted to be blessed very much during the conference as well as be a blessing..
So about 1130am on 7th Dec, I went up to her and told her that I would like to apply leave to attend a conference during the coming weekend.. Told a few people to pray along with me..
Boss : ‘Oh, the Asia Pacific one?’
Me : Yes. How’d you know?
Boss : Oh my daughter is attending it as well. Go ahead for the conference, just keep me updated on work.
God is so super faithful man!!! Thank you for your prayers.. I really do covet them..
So then I msged a few other telling them that I could now make the conference and am able to help out in anyway needed.. PJK calls to say that she needs help in hosting the international delegates and I was blessed to host the Indonesian delegates.. about 100+ of them in total.. Worked very closely together with Amanda..
Amanda – You were awesome to work with! Enjoyed every moment of our partnership.. haha
I managed to make it for most of the sessions and was utterly blessed by it.. Loved Ps. Mike Pilavachi’s preaching (founder of Soul Survivor).. It’s so practical + superbly hilarious!!! Hopefully he would come down with his band one day..
We had the privilege of having the YAM, Indonesian & Philippines band to anchor the night sessions.. Oh my they were awesome!
YAM – You guys did good.. Especially on the last night, you ushered in the presence of God in a beautiful way..
Indo Band – You guys rock!!!
I’m so proud that I was able to play a tiny role in this HUGE conference.. Props to all the full-time staff who helped pull this conference together, especially the hosting committee.. You guys worked so hard and till the wee hours in the morning, sometimes not sleeping for days!! Know that your labour is not in vain!!
Look out for APYAC 2012!!

Do you regret your past?

Ministry Volunteers' Appreciation Dinner
We started of the evening in Maranatha with a short but powerful session of worship.. Then a 4-piece string quartet performed ‘Great is thy faithfulness’ and ‘Father in heaven how we love you’ – it was classic! Among the performers were Peck Sun, Melissa and Boon Hong.. (never knew Boon Hong played the chello! Haha)
Then Ps. Vincent and all the other language churches gave a report on their respective churches. It was encouraging to see the number of souls saved and the way God has been blessing the language churches..
Next, the highlight of the night for me was the ‘Cardboard Testimony’.. It was something that was done in Lakewood during their Building Pledge.. We talked about it at L-cell some months back and both Roger & Thay gave us the link to go check it out.. You can watch it here..
But yesterday’s cardboard testimony by the GT-ians was somehow more meaningful for me.. I guess cos I knew most of them up on stage and was able to connect to their ‘before’ status and seen how God’s has been really doing a good work in their life and how they now wholeheartedly serve Him..
One guy’s testimony (I think he’s from the Chinese church) was:
Before : In a Prison Cell
After : Now a Cell Leader
Naledi’s was:
Before : Against the idea of International Cells
After : International Cell Zone Leader
I was so touched by the testimonies of so many of them.. How God’s transformed them into beautiful man and woman of God.. Couldn't help but tear a lil..
Dinner.. Ah dinner.. so not what I expected.. It was a 10-course Chinese sit-down dinner.. The food as many would agree was so much better than some of the wedding dinners I’ve been to.. It was a great experience as well to be able to see most of the Africans eating fish, prawns, crab, shark fins soup, other types of seafood and the desserts for their VERY FIRST TIME.. The internationals at my table loved it!! But some other Bots, didn’t really enjoy it..

Black one this time..
But anyway, I went and saw the car, both my parents viewed the car as well. So funny - we all checked it out at different times; dad in johor, me near my house and mum later on.
It's a good deal la.. Cos my uncle will be buying the current Myvi that I'm driving and he's giving us like way more than I'll get if I sell to someone else or a 2nd hand car dealer..
So we'll get about 5-6k in hand after selling the current car to my uncle, just pay a wee bit more in installments every month for the new car and I get a brand new car.
Dad's pretty bummed that I didn't tender for the number 282.. Fell that I would just save on that $$. We've had like 7 cars with the plate 282 and after many years this would be the first car to change the cycle.. (with the exception of that one car la).
The sales lady called and said that the car would be ready on Thursday.. What a gift huh? =)

Judge not.. only support
I shared with my girls something that I've never shared with anyone else before.. something that I've been keeping to myself for years.. Something that brings tears to my eyes and such heartache EVERY TIME I think about it.. It was such a struggle to have been going through it alone for so long.. But I thank God that as I shared it, there was such a release..
Trust. That was the only reason I was able to open up. I trusted my girls lots and decided to just unload on them.. They did not judge.. They did not condemn.. They did not look down on me.. They did however encourage, support and prayed along..
From past mistakes and life circumstances, I too have learnt to not be quick to judge on others.. That we are only human, that we too fall at times and it is in our weakness that God's strength may be glorified..
It took me a long while to trust them to be able to open up like that.. in fact, I surprised myself as well at how much I did say because I'm pretty selective on the people I speak to about my life as well as details of it..
But I guess God has his appointed time la... and it was high-time that I did speak about it.. Couldn't hold it in any longer or I would have become worse dwelling in it..
Girls:
Thank you for not judging.. Thank you for your support.. I covet your prayers.. May God continue to use our lives to minister to others.. Love you loads!! xoxo

I feel so loved
Got so many goodies for my farewell.. Countless farewell lunches and dinners these pass 2 weeks.. Pressie from both the admin & academic staff.. In fact, just earlier today, there was a pretty little pink bag on my table with a card.. and inside was a cute figurine from Elizabeth.. For lunch today, the staff from not only my department but also from ADTP and Registry took me out to Ginger Tree (my uncle's a chef there) and belanja me makan kau kau.. So full wei now I feel like sleeping.. lol..
Thought I'd paste some of the notes from emails that I received from friends I made here in the past 3 months..

Movie Review: This is it
I was not big on wanting to watch Michael Jackson's "This is it". Friends who've watched all raved about how great the show was saying it'll be a shame if you missed it..So finally decided to go watch it last Sun since I had some kaki to go with.. Oh my! IT WAS AWESOME!!! This guy was like 50 years old and he can still move so great.. My fav song was 'Beat it'.. Also liked one of the last song he sang, can't remember the name.. he wore this purple shirt and was dancing alone on stage.. Nice!
This dude has like a whole different tune going on in his head..
It also gave me an insight on how humble he is..
Next movie I wanna watch - Time Traveler's Wife

Isn't it beautiful how God works things out for us..
So she went back last weekend to book a similiar package and she received above and beyond what she thought she would be getting.. They're so blessed!!
I've been trying to get the Naza Bestari 206 for some months now, since August actually.. but there's been so many hiccups..
First, they ran out of stock
Then, my dad's car dealer friend managed to get stock
Then, my loan wouldn't be approved cos I just started work
After a long process of trying all sorts of means, my loan got approved
Now, the car's gone again!!
My dad's friend had already placed a booking fee but they say that it depends on a first-come-first-serve basis..
Last night and this morning I was just thinking about the car and told God that if this is your will, grant me favor but if it's not, then please close the door and give me peace within..
Just about 5 minutes ago, the lady called me and told me that the car's totally out of stock.. No chance in getting it AT ALL!!!
I just replied, 'Oh, I see.. it's ok then.. Thank you so much..'
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
Never shortchanged
Guess what!!
I won RM100 from Affin!!! Weeeeee!!!
It's in form of a savings account though, but.. it's still $$$
Then I remember sometime back I entered a lucky draw when I was at the Curve..
I was just telling someone the other day, I'm gonna be really pokai this month cos there's just so many different expenses + birthdays + dinners.. Then God blesses me with this.. I also just remembered bout my claims at Sun-U which I can collect next week..
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Luke 6:38
Continue to be faithful in your giving + tithes.. It's not the amount that you give, but the heart.. God loves a cheerful giver and He will never shortchange you.. I've been taught from young that no matter how hard it is, to always be disciplined in giving of tithes + offerings.. and I've NEVER been shortchanged! Try it!

It's been a beautiful week..
I'd dragged myself outta bed after snoozing the alarm for the 5th time.. take my shower & get all pretty, eat my half boiled kampung egg, do my devo and spend time with my Father in the car.. and walah! I'm all fresh!
I only have 10 working days left here.. Lord let me make the most of it.. Use me Use me Use me to share your love to those around me..
** Oh I'm so grateful cos I nearly met with an accident yesterday on the highway.. all the cars in front of me were braking so hard and I was so close to being in a back-to-back car crash! But He protected me and my car.. Thank you Jesus!
Now it's back to work.. Gonna get me a cuppa of coffee and be productive..

Last day at Sun-U
Was sharing with my buddy earlier how I was pretty unsettled about accepting the job at CIMB. The interview process for CIMB was SO LONG and in between I went for interview at another company. Prayed and told God that if that job is not for me, to not let it go through. That company didn't call back.
I thanked God for His clarity but I was a lil bummed as I had my heart kinda set on that job. Preferred that job description more, it paid better, company was also very established. But I guess God has His plans and His plans are definitely way higher and way wiser than mine.
So with that assurance I now have peace in my heart bout working at CIMB. I know God has a plan and purpose for me there.
I have to admit I'm a lil excited + nervous to work at CIMB cos I know it's gonna be a totally different environment. Have to continue to draw strength from Him.

Happy Birthday Katrika!
Jessica plays many roles in my life.. A sister, cousin, friend, partner-in-crime, masak-masak playmate.. In a family of 24 cousins, Jess is the only one who shares my age.. Growing up as an only child, she was like really the person I would go to for everything..
I remember we used to write each other letters when we were young cos we couldn't call each other.. I still have all those letters.. She would make me pretty cards for my birthdays and Christmas.. haha when we were younger, we would put glitter and stickers on the cards and letters to 'soup' it up..
25 years later, we are still as close as ever, if not closer..
You've been a great joy and blessing to me.. Love you Pandee!!

She looked like a princess..
We went to 3 different bridal shops yesterday and the deal that was offered to her got better with every shop.. She tried on many dresses.. and oh my, she looked like a princess!!! The three of us we oooh-ing and aahh-ing every time she stepped out in a pretty little white number.. She managed to try on all the different styles and we gave her our thoughts on which style best suited her..
It was a fruitful 3.5 hours spent.. In the last shop, we even got to meet this really pleasant sales lady which let her try on as many dresses as she wanted.. which was superbly cool cos the other shops only let her try bout 2-3 dresses..
There was another bride trying on dresses there and oh my, her taste was just.. erm different.. She chose all the dresses that we would have never ever even given a second look.. Okok I got to stop being so mean.. =P
Anyway, let's not get off track.. back to S.. she looked gorgeous in all the dresses.. I had my eye on one dress in one of the shops.. she tried on that particular style, not the same dress but the same style and it was by far my favourite for her..
Groom's gonna be so wow-ed when she walks down the aisle.. hehe..

ChaCha Anyone?
After 2 weeks of being absent from dance class, I dragged myself to class last Monday.. They had completed Jive and was now in Cha Cha..Being honest, I didn't feel like going for the class.. a) cos I was still not feeling a 100% b) hmm, I also dunno la guess I just wasn't in the mood..
There were 6 of us on Monday (not sure where the rest hilang to) and the figure was just right.. 3 guys 3 girls..
Surprisingly, I enjoyed myself very much during the class.. Had a good time dancing with all of them that we even stayed back after to 'practice'.. haha I think I'm one of the slowest in the class compared to the rest and also one of the youngest.. There're like 2 grandfathers and they moved so well haha.. They pick up really fast and lead the lady really good as well... I didn't join them for their beginner classes so had lots to pick up plus although the technique is somewhat the same (I mean, it's Cha Cha, how different can you be) but the technique of teaching is different.. I kinda prefer this teacher.. She's really professional and she's clear in the teaching and movements..
So yea, I'm looking forward to next Monday.. It's sad though that they don't teach Salsa in Bronze level.. Me like to Salsa.. =)

Test was (-)ve
Local GP told me to take the H1N1 test, a simple nose swab which cost RM50 and the results were out in 15 minutes..
PTL!! The results were negative..
Doc gave me MC for today and tomorrow and told me to rest lots..
I feel kinda bad for abandoning my co-workers at such a peak time at office.. Been away from office the whole week but I guess it's best for me to not be around then to spread the bug to the rest.. Nothing would get done then..

In the clear
With the scare of the H1N1 flu going around, I decided to go get tested.. Headed down to the government clinic @ Sg. Buloh this morning.. Spent a good 2.5 hours waiting to see the doctor for only 5 minutes..
PTL!!! Doc cleared me and said I didn't have to do the test as I don't have ALL the symptoms.. the test is limited and expensive so they don't perform it on everyone.. She told me to continue on my antibiotic and just get lotsa rest+water..
Looking forward to heading home to rest, guess what happened.. MY CAR WOULDN'T START... and to make things worse, my phone battery was dying cos I forgot to charge it last night.. Manage to make a call to mum to get AAM to come over to help.. Waited for about 1 hour cos the guy went to Subang instead of Sg. Buloh.. Turns out it was my car battery that 'kong' which really puzzle me cos I just changed it like one month back.. Anyways, we still had the warranty for it, so the lady just change a new battery for us..
Now it's off to Zzzzzz..

Decisions
However, I've got decisions to make.. Do I choose more $$ and less stress or less $$ but more experience??
Won't elaborate more here just yet, but once I do make my decision then I'll post up..
Do pray along with me? That I'll make the right choice and have the peace of God..

Jaziel Micah Johnson
He was only 2 days old when this picture was taken.. At the age of 4 days, Jaziel was admitted in the hospital as they found a tumor in his neck and throat.. According to doctors, the tumor was very large. A biopsy was then performed to find out the nature of the tumor..
Praise God, 2 days ago, the results were released and it was benign. God is awesome!! The Lord has a purpose for this boy and he still has a long way to go.
My cousins, Jeremy & Melissa continue to put their trust in the Lord through this tough ordeal and God has seen them through.. He's now 27 days old and healthy..

Refreshed!
A team of 7 of us got together only 7 weeks before camp to plan for this retreat. It was truly God's favor that got us through as we had very little time to come together to organize. I had a lot of fun being on the team and I must say, "we planned out a pretty awesome camp" hahaha (only by God's grace of course!!!!).
PGC suggested Serai di Lanjut to be the camp site and I'm glad that we chose that place. I really like the venue. THE BEACH WAS FABULOUS.
God was already moving powerfully before the camp. There had been divine visitations both in the pysical and spiritual. The purpose of this camp was to have"24" hours of REST, RELAX & REFRESH in the presence of God. I personally was preparing myself and expectating Him to move.
I came to a point in life where I was just too busy with my schedules and plans and this affected my time alone with God and at times my relationship with Him..
I went to camp desperate to meet with God and receive from Him..
And as usual, God did not disappoint..
Even on the first night, there was such an outpouring of His spirit and presence. He spoke to me in a way that I didn't expect. I've been praying for a couple of things for sometime, and on the last session, on that Tuesday morning, He spoke and said that He has heard my prayers and in time it will come to past..
"Thank you Lord that You pen my calendar. That every aspect/day/month/year of my life is taken care of as You see and know the bigger picture. Thank You Lord that it will be filled with gifts and pleasant surprises."
I learnt the simplicity of just coming back to Him and waiting at His feet.. Lord, You are so awesome!
This is just a bit of how I've been blessed at camp. (Ask me if you wanna know more hehe). I'm glad that I chose to be a part of this camp and a part of the committee.
Do not miss out on the next camp!! I would encourage everyone of you to make it. God wants to bless you & speak into your life.
** Didn't take many pictures at camp. =( Have to go tag myself in pictures taken by the rest! lol.

I love..
Some weeks back, Weng Yan aka Beeboo shared the passage below with the cell. She took it from Bobbie Houston's blog. It was such an encouragement to me at that time and hope it would encourage you as well.
- I love the thought of us ALL being WORLD CHANGERS!!
- I love the thought that God considered us ALL unique & special enough to plant us at such a crazy/wonderful time in history.
- I love the thought that in doing so, He would have invested unique gift and measure within ALL of us so that we could fulfil that planting.
- I love that He is no respector of persons and invites us all.
- I love that He will use any willing heart that is, well willing.
- I love that we don't have to impress Him.
- I love that we can come as we are.
- I love that He specialises in people who think they are pathetic, but really aren't.
- I love that He is gentle and patient and persistent in shaping us into what He knows we can become.
- I love that He is not freaked out at the state of the world.
- I love that He is calm.
- I love that He has a plan.
- I love that He considers us capable to carry His heart and make a difference.
- I love that He can take the likes of you and I and make us ALL WORLD CHANGERS IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
- I love that no one is excluded and that we each have an individually distinct world to focus on friends, family, workmates, street, church, community and all those beautiful strangers who so often slide across our paths unseen, unnoticed.
So agree with me as I write this on a wintery afternoon in Sydney... there's a world to love, a world to influence, a world to pray for. Don't diminish your part, don't stress over how it will all pan out and don't wonder how and where to find the will of God.
Rest in His love, rest in His providence, rest in His promise, be faithful with what is important and non-negotiable in His Word, find a need, make a stand, put your hand up, stay at your post and trust me, the rest will take care of itself.
So why DO NOT DISTURB, WORLD CHANGER AT REST?
Because all world changers need reminders... rest in His grace, rest in His enabling, rest in His Spirit, rest that He is well able to complete what He has begun.
"Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit," says our God. Our strength can carry us so far, but His Strength will carry us all the way.. and then BEYOND what we could ever hope or imagine.
Praying that each and every one of us will learn the art of 'labouring from a place of REST".

It's been ages..
- I've finished my studies
- In the midst of looking for a job
- Attended a couple of weddings
- Went for a relaxing holiday in Sabah
- Continued with my cross-stitch
- Watched season 1-4 of 24
- and just came back from diving in Redang
I feel so so tired today.. All I wanna do is SLEEP!!!
Just got back from Redang last night, and it was truly an awesome holiday. I managed to clock 7 dives, which is just superb for me k, cos previously I had so many problems when it came to descending when I dive, but this time I thought I was pretty good hehe. We went to RedangKalong,which in my opinion has one of the best dive masters and instructors. The owner of the place, AB Lee was nice enough to even take us hiking up his favourite spot on our last day there (Pictures attached in the link below).
Just uploaded lotsa different picture onto Facebook.. Some are way overdue.. Check them out!
There's still another album that I've yet to upload which is the Sabah trip.. Need to get those photos from Roger/KF first.. hehe..
Do pray along with me as well I look for the right job. There has been one offer so far but I'm still thinking and praying about it. Will update more when I decide.
Okies, enough for today.. Wanna continue uploading some more pics, then catch Final Break, Prison Break on dvd then SLEEP!!!!

Penang
Melissa took us to all the good spots to eat in Butterworth - Pokok Ceri Pasembor, Mee Goreng and Mee Rebus.. a small stall that only opens at night selling Char Kuey Teow.. Satay Rojak buah (this one was just addictive)..
Bought a dvd - Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham and we watched it from 1230am to 4am.. It wasn't the first time we were watching it (hmm ok maybe Joel being the exception lol).. So it was really fun as we could remember most of the dialoges.. singing along to the songs.. laughing at the jokes even before it was played.. That was the first night!!
On the second night, after the wedding.. we got back home, changed and headed over to Penang.. Took the ferry and it was really nice.. I have not been on the ferry to Penang in many years.. (It was the first time for Joel, lotsa first for him on this trip lol).. We then drove along Gurney and finally decided to chill at Bukit Ferringhi, at this really secluded spot.. There was a bistro there by the sea.. we chilled there for a couple of hours.. with the waves crashing, under the blanket of sky and stars, with the swaying of the coconut trees.. All us girls wore our heels there cos we didn't know initially where we would be going.. haha.. Had to take off our shoes as we definitely couldn't walk on the sand with them..
After chilling there, we headed over at 330am to Nasi Kandar Beratur (where you literally have to beratur for your nasi kandar).. Hmm I didn't think the food was all that good.. I've tasted better nasi kandar in PJ but the experience was nice..
On this trip as well was the first time I heard my nephew, Jerome say my name.. Ma che teh which stands for Michelle Atteh.. hehe..
So that was the end of my Penang trip.. Short but truly fun and memorable.. Will try to post up pics soon..
