Wrong 31st

I thought it was one of my cellies's birthday today.. Was getting ready to bake her a cake and all so we can celebrate at cell tonight..

Just realised that her birthday is actually 31st Jan.. and not 31st Oct.. haha..

It would have been really funny if we brought out a cake for her and surprised her at cell.. we would have been the ones being surprised!!!

I even spread the word and one of my other cellies has wished her already.. haha..

Addition to the Familia

My friend recently bought a puppy and then found out that she was allergic to him.. It was really sad cos I know that she's been wanting a puppy for sometime now and even spent weeks looking for the perfect one.. I know exactly how it must have felt cos I'm also now allergic to my rabbits.. My allergy developed 2 years ago.. and for those who know me really well.. they'd know that I ADORE rabbits.. been having them since I was 5..

Anyways, so she was looking to give him away and I volunterred.. haha.. I just brought him home.. Was kinda worried that Ginger might not get along with him.. but thank God he's getting along fine with the new puppy..

Open Hearts

My face feels so clean now! =)

Just came back from my free facial at Clarins. Mum got a voucher for her birthday and she gave it to me so I gladly took it la. Lol. It was just so relaxing and my skin feels more radiant now.

My appointment was at 230pm but I reached 1U at 150pm so decided to just walk around and while walking around Jusco I met a high school friend. We chatted for a bit then decided to go get something to eat. I remember when I was back in high school, we were just the hi-bye friends.

Surprisingly we were able to connect really well. We both had similiar life experience so I was able to understand all that she's been through.

We exchanged numbers..

Then the HS reminded me about our prayer yesterday at prayer meeting when we prayed for the Cell Christmas Party on Nov 19th so I decided that I'd invite her. She was so opened to the invitation and even saved the details onto her phone calendar. It's just amazing how God's open doors of opportunities.

I'm looking forward to more opened doors!

You might recognise a face or two.. hehe

Pleasant Surprise

I saw a white rabbit hopping around the pool side of Desa Kiara Condo yesterday. I was so tempted to carry it home with me.

Faith

I followed PJK after my class today as she was sharing at a breast cancer support group.. I was so blessed to hear the testimonies of those who are now cancer free and those who are now in the midst of their battle.. Their faith in believing God to heal them really touched me..

WOOOOOWWW~!!

Someone else mentioned Isaiah 40:31 during supper just now...

Freaky~~~

Hope

My cousin sent me a message two days back.. It read..

"But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength" Isaiah 40:31

She rarely sends me messages so it was really nice to wake up to this particular verse.. Then we had cell at night and the topic was also on hope.. Then I went to service this morning because I was serving in AV and the bible verse that was put up during service on both the left and right screens were.. (you guessed it right!) Isaiah 40:31..

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.. You know what I mean.. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.. haha (sorry inside joke)

Thank you Lord for that reminder.. I will put my hope in You.. At times when it just seems too tough, too tiring and just too overwhelming.. I will put my hope and trust in you..

Mamak

The funniest incident happened last night...

A few of us went for mamak after the awesome prayer meet and was there up to 1am chatting.. we then realised that the waiter serving our table was quite smitten with one of my friend.. towards the end of our mamak-ing session, the waiter and his friend were whispering to each other whilst staring at my friend and heading towards our table.. we were quite curious as to what they were whispering about..

Suddenly, they just burst out in laughter and ran off.. i repeat-RAN OFF!!

We had no idea what was so funny.. it tooks us awhile before we realised that they were actually trying to gather up some guts to come and talk to her.. we were all so blur at first cos we hadn't seen this since primary school..

It was a good night!!

Petrol Prices Reduced

I was wanting to pump full tank the whole day today.. But somehow I just kept forgetting.. Bet it was the Holy Spirit's work.. =)

Adapted from The Star

KUALA LUMPUR: Petrol prices will be reduced by a further 10sen to 20sen from Wednesday.

RON 97 petrol is reduced by 15sen to RM2.30; RON 92 petrol is reduced by 10sen to RM2.20; and diesel is reduced by 20sen to RM2.20.

A post on the Prime Minister's Office website (wwww.pmo.gov.my) said the decision was made following the marked drop in the global oil price of late.

"The lowering of the fuel prices is also made to speed up the reduction of retail prices so that the people will be able to enjoy the benefits sooner," the post added.

The statement was signed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

The previous two reductions were on Aug 23 and Sept 24.

Dance class was super-duper fun last nite!!!!

There were 9 of us.. we reached about half hour late.. cos last minute lots of changes in travel arrangement.. but dance instructor was sweet enough to let us stay an extra half hour to make up for the time we lost..

Hope next week is as fun!!

Geeeraaaammmm!!!

I just came back from my International Marketing Management class. Gosh! It was so bad!!!!

My group was told to do our presentation on 'Exports of Australian Lamb to Saudi Arabia' today.. which should have lasted no more than 20 minutes.. There were suppose to be two groups presenting on the topic and my group went first..

After each slide, my 'dear' lecturer would ask the 2nd group what they're answers were.. and then he would give input as to what our answers should have been.. basically all our answers were wrong.. all of them!!!

The lecturer's answers and explanation didn't even make sense to me.. and I thought I was the only one but I later found out that the whole class thought so as well.. Some of his answers were not even in line with the questions..

Sigh!!! At least we were not marked on this presentation..

He was so long-winded that we ended up doing our presentation for one and a half hours.. The second group didn't present in the end because we were out of time..

I guess for my finals.. I would need to think like him and answer my questions according to his logic and not mine.. Because if I answer them according to how I understand it, I might probably get it all wrong..

Jesus Help!!!

A Night for just Praise & Worship

I love to Worship God, and i am so looking forward to this Friday's Worship Night “Proclaim His Power”. Its just an awesome encounter when you come together with the church and just sing songs of adoration and praises and just spend time in the presence of God!

First of all Worship Night, is not a Concert and neither is it a Presentation of Songs. Its a night where anyone can come into Maranatha Auditorium and enjoy the awesome presence of God as believers; and all over the church we can freely sing praise and worship songs to God!!

We are expecting God to supernaturally touch everyone present on that night, regardless of the need, the situation or the level of belief.

We will not be singing many new songs, but rather the musicians have quite cleverly added ”new arrangement” to the music of familiar songs that we mostly know and sing in churches. We wanted the praise & worship to be interactive, where we can all Sing together, and easily close our eyes and lift our hands in Worship and dance in celebration praise!

The night’s thrust is taken from Psalms 145:3-5

Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;

His greatness no one can fathom.

One generation will commend your works to another;

They will tell of your mighty acts.

They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty,

And I will meditate on your wonderful works.

My First Mission Trip

I've signed up for the Sri Lanka missions trip and will be going along with a team of seven on the 29th of Sept to the 5th of Oct.. It's been a week of mixed feelings - excitement, stressed, anxiousness, nervousness...

It's going to be my first missions trip.. I'm not sure on what to expect but am just trusting that God's going to move powerfully... and I'll be transformed..

I've never really thought that I would go for missions.. It was a very impulsive decision.. and now I'm glad I made it..

Must learn more about the nation of Sri Lanka.. God has already placed a burden in my heart for this country..

I'm really happy with the team that I'm going with.. I believe that we're all going to bond very well.. We've been meeting up weekly for prayer to prepare for the trip..

Will write more soon.. Very tired now.. Gonna head to bed..

Yesterday at Cell

It was a good time of sharing on how we can reach out to our neighbours and be a testimony to them..

The night started with Ai Li doing ice-breakers.. We played this really fun, confusing card game.. For someone who doesn't really enjoy doing ice-breakers, she really did an awesome job..

It was also Ai Li's birthday last Tuesday so we had a belated birthday celebration for her at cell..

Tiffany pouring her heart out in a prayer of blessing for Ai Li

Praise God for 3 new visitors.. Andrew, Qi Wen and JD (that's Yimi in the pic though)

Esther and Clement being very 'candid'

Qi Wen helping himself to the 'birthday custard'

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AI LI!

Bye-bye Blue

My bird died today..

It usually sits in it small little wooden house in the cage.. and comes out when we whistle.. But today.. Blue was so quiet.. It didn't pop it's head out the small hole when my mum called it..

Was so sad when I opened the door of it's small little wooden house to find it dead inside..

We've got the VICTORY
