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.

Tony Roma's

Save your receipts when you dine at Tony Roma's cos you'll be able to get a RM10 rebate on your next visit with a minimum spending of RM30. Of course before that you'll need to go online and complete a super simple survey that will take you less than 2 minutes to complete.

Mum and I were invited yesterday for a surprise dinner for Karen Bristol at Tony Roma's. Her daughter and husband were the ones organizing and were so nice to invite us.

We had a lovely time chatting and eating.. Ordered 2 whole 13-inch platter which included 20 ribs and 4 sides.. We also had an onion loaf to go along.. I don't really fancy onions but this onion loaf was definitely the bomb.. The birthday girl also got a voucher as her pressie for a free onion loaf on her next visit..

The manager was also nice enough to give us a 10% discount on our bill as I was not able to complete the survey to get the RM10 rebate.. There was something wrong with the site as I was trying to log on.. So not only can I use the receipt again in future, but we got a 10% discount on our meal which turned out to be 3 times better..

Lotsa exciting happenings at Tony Roma's this and next month.. As we were waiting for the birthday girl to arrive, mum and I took our time reading all the promos at our table..

Relaxing in Ipoh

Idly or E Der Lee

LOL! My dad was back at my auntie's house and she was cooking him dinner.. Chicken curry and Idly.. so my dad was just texting me on what he was having for dinner..

"Dinner was great! Perema just cooked chicken curry and e der lee for me"

I laughed out so loud.. Read it to my cousins and we just were laughing and laughing..

Second day in Ipoh today.. Yesterday was a super tiring day.. We left the house around 945am.. drove up to Camerons and then down to Ipoh.. I was driving the whole way and way just 'out' by the time I reached Ipoh.. But still pulled myself up to take my nephew to the park and even made a trip to the bride's house..

For the past few months I've been so busy with assignments and just studying for exams that I haven't spent enough time with my nephew.. How much I have missed! He is so so chatty nowadays and repeats everything you say, so much so that we have to be so careful in what we says.. cos he picks up so easily..

Will update more later.. now gonna eat some mangosteens..
