In the clear

I think I've been pushing myself a little too much these past 2 weeks.. Hardly got any rest and it finally took a toll on me.. I fell sick last Sunday on the way back from Chamang waterfalls.. Paid 3 visits to the doctor in 3 days, got a stronger dose of antibiotic but I seem to be getting worse instead of better..

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

I've been working in Sunway for about a month and a half now.. Working here so far has been great, God's granted me favor with my colleagues and bosses, I manage to clear all my work usually by 530pm so I don't have to stay back..

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..

Scored!

I just won 6 movie passes to go watch 'The Ugly Truth'... Woohoo!!! I'm not really sure what the story's about but since it's free.. I look forward to find out..

Also won 2 T-shirts worth RM400.. I believe it's a couple's T-shirt.. the him/her kinda.. too bad me don't have a 'him' yet..

Tea anyone?

After 2 years of planning, we finally made it to watch the Tea Master... It was a rare reunion at the YA Retreat for ex Sect 5 cellies.. so we decided that it was time to plan the dinner.. Thanks to Ms. Organizer aka Sue Ling.. It was also a farewell dinner for Shannon who's leaving to the UK next week for a year to do his Masters.. (He's told me like 10 times in what area, but for the life of me, I just can't remember)..

Enjoy the videos from Mei Fong, apologies in advance cos you'll need to strain your neck for a couple of them.. hehe..



** Sue Ling's thinking of mastering this art.. SL - it takes only 0.5 yrs and not 8 yrs.. haha



** There was no one naked!



** Liang serenades us with a song..



** Shannon tries very hard to give his speech.. and you see Sue Ling 'trying' to handle the camera..



** Shannon's speech that he formed with the fortune cookies..

We also managed to do some 'hooking' up.. Listen closely to the videos..

I do hope we don't take another 2 years for the next dinner..

Jaziel Micah Johnson

Presenting to you..

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..

I love this pic!! He's looking up at his atteh and smiling.. Awww...

Refreshed!

We just got back from the YA Retreat themed '24'.. and I'm so blessed!!!

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".

Work's been good thus far..

It's my 3rd day at work..

First day was rather boring cos there was a new intake, so it was just orientations all the way.

Second day was hectic but I enjoyed it very much. We had like over 100 students come with their VARIOUS problems..

3rd day is a little slower.. as you can see I have time to blog.. hehe.. but nevertheless still fun..

Leaving today a little earlier to go for another appointment..

God's been awesome to me!!! This job is really a blessing in more ways than one.. Not at liberty to blog all about it here but if you wanna know.. ask me.. hehe..

Now officially a YA

Wow it's been ages since I last posted..

I've cut my hair!!! hehehe.. Preferred my long hair but just had to chop it off cos the split ends were just uncontrollable.

Praise Report - God's been so good to me. As I was waiting for my results, I was so sure that I was going to graduate with a Second Class Lower but when I went to take my certificate, I was surprised to read..

University of East London

It is hereby certified that

Michelle Melissa Foo

having duly satisfied all prescribed conditions was on 25 June 2009
duly admitted to the degree of

Bachelor of Arts with Second Class (Upper Division) Honours

having followed an approved Honours programme in

Business Administration

** Of course they had to spell Record as Reecord on the certificate... Sigh! So now I'll need to wait for a new certificate..

I've had about 2 months of holiday + traveling so it's high time that I find a job and start earning some $$$.. haha...

I've sent out my application to quite a number of companies and have gone for several interviews as well. Will post more about it later..

New Look

I visited the hair saloon today and decided it was time for a haircut and a new look..

I'm pretty happy with it.. Although I think I look a lil fatter with my hair short..

It's been ages..

since I've updated my blog.. So much has happened since..

• 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'm sure there's much more that happened but I can't seem to remember them now.. lol..

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!

• Hwee Yen's Birthday
  
• Weng Yan's Affirmation
• Danee's Wedding
• Cell Leaders' Retreat
• Diving in Redang
  

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!!!!

Fathers' Day Presentation

Penang

I just got back from Penang yesterday.. Actually more like Butterworth cos we stayed at Uncle Alfie's house.. Attended Danee's wedding on Sat night.. Still find it hard to believe that she's married.. She's still like such a baby to us..

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..

Hannah Plays Sandy in Grease

My niece Hannah was recently in a play for her school, Grease. She played Sandy which is one of the main characters in the production. I'm so proud of her. She dressed in a pretty white dress with green trimmings.

Grease was released in 1978 and made popular by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.
