It's Christmas day!! Blessed Christmas everyone! Well, went to church as usual and it was fun. The youth and a number of the children participated in a Christmas play called the Christmas Shoe and it was really good a play! thumbs up to all who were involved...go back and take a break before breakaway; which is only a day away! Finally, after a few years the Alfa youth will be going off for another breakaway! So can't wait but the things for my group aren't done yet...aiks! Will be going on the 27th and returning on the 29th...was hoping that the camp could be a little longer but sadly we're not allowed to. hmmm, i dont think i have much to say already except that i got presents! haha. not that many or maybe because they are all small but thank you everyone who gave me presents. Appreciated! Cerlyn, we finally got the shoes for each other and dont worry about the shoe i'll get use to it!

Bible Knowledge....
lalala....All I want for Christmas is You!!! now; now whoever that is reading this post, thou shall not perasan! =P This is the Christmas song that keeps on playing continously in my mind and i dont even know why. Maybe I'm missing someone *pauses and wonders* Nah! No one special....I'm free! (sorry Aaron no use if you tease me). Anyways, I'm just terribly bored so yeah don't mind my crapping.
Okay, I've finally thought of what I want to crap about today...BK which is short for Bible Knowledge. This is actually a SPM subject for those of you who do not know. Erm, it is also one of the 10 subjects which I sat for; for SPM this year. Here are my reasons for taking BK:
1. I dropped Bio so I thought 9 isnt a complete number, got to look for another subject to make a perfect 10.
2. It's just the Bible...how hard can it get?!
3. I love memorizing...and it is pretty similar to History right....?
Then, to my big shocker when my friends who sat for this subject the year before (they said it was easy) and none of them got A, I almost fainted!!! I began to realize this isn't going to be as easy as I thought it would be and I had already begun classes; which by the way only started this year, thus there was no turning back. Yes, I finished two books in a period of one year instead of two. So that scared me even more. However, as I began studying the book of Luke and Acts I began to realize that Bible Knwoledge is actually a subject worth taking. The most important thing about learning this subject is actually the knowledge and lessons I gain from it; which overall involves everything God has done in those two books. It really amazes me at how awesome the God I serve is. I especially love the Book of Luke as it focuses on Jesus and how He led His life here on earth. Even though He knew very well that He was going to be handed over to the Gentiles, leaders, chief priests and etc to be punished for a crime He did not commit, He never ran away from it. Instead, He made His way to Jerusalem to fulfill God's purpose for Him. Among my favourite lines or verses from the book of Luke,is this particular phrase uttered by Jesus when He was on a hill praying ( the night He was betrayed by Judas Iscariot) "Father, not my will but yours be done".
As I continued to revise for my exam, I read through this line several times and I slowly began to instill that into my life. I began to realize that if I wanted to fully commit to God, I had to give up my everything for Him. Just like what Jesus said to the people who wanted to be His disciples, "For whoever wants to save his own life will lose it but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it". So basically these two things are among those things that I learned while studying Bible Knowledge. It also helped me with my walk with God, although my main focus was on the book of Luke and Acts but through these two books I really saw God in a different perspective and began to appreciate the things and people I have in my life even more and it also really dawned upon me that my God is really an Awesome and Mighty God. Thus, I am truly thankful to believe in Him.
Another thing about Bible Knowledge is that even though I will no longer be studying it, my teachers have requested that I assist them beginning next year. haha. Hi Ju and Cerlyn! *evil laugh* Finally, I shall be able to torture you girls! hehe. Just kidding. Thank God I at least have something to do next year while I wait patiently for Form 6 to start in May or June (yup, yup long, long holiday).
Okay, this is official all I can write for now. Guess it is one of the longest that I have written right...

finally another post
Just checked my blog and no surprise I have not even blog since...erm I don't even know when. So I guess I should at least post another blog now right since I'm so free *smiles widely* (and Gabby here's the post you were asking for). Basically I'm free for the next few months because SPM is over! That was simple. The exam was ok ok. I did my best so now I shall just leave it all to God to determine my results.
What have I been doing since the 3rd of Dec ( by the way, that was when my exam ended), well nothing much. I went shopping with Gabrielle...christmas shopping that is on the 7th and the 8th and we spent a bomb. (Girl, next year we need a budget!!!) Then on the 10th till the 13th I went off to bandung, indonesia with my family for our traditional end year holiday. It was fun and the weather there was just fine (better than over here that is). Not only that, I got to and SHOP; SHOP; SHOP and SHOP! For those of you who know me, you'll know that it was a dream holiday for me. Bought 9 clothes, two shoes and a new handbag...exceeded my budget as usual. I have to thank my parents for allowing me to shop that much and of course thank God for giving me the opportunity to go overseas and shop...not everyone has that chance to do so so I do realize I have truly been blessed by Him. So thanks again God.
Besides all that, am preparing for the youth's breakaway! *jumps for joy* Finally, after two years ALFA is having a breakaway again! Am assigned as an assistant leader for a group and thank God I've got a leader whom I will be able to work well with. *pauses and wonders* Okay, I've lost the mood to write again. Sorry people, I guess I'm getting more and more bored as the day pass by.

My God
Lately, I have been thinking a lot. One of the things that I have pondered on a lot is this: Why would someone so worthy and great sacrifice the one person who means everything to Him...just for someone like me? Me: an unworthy and sinful person. He gave up His one and only sinless son for a sinful person; me. It makes me wonder what have I done in my life to deserve such a great blessing. A blessing like no other. Nothing. I talk to Him and ask Him a million times why has He done so. And everytime I ask that question, He replies back the same answer: Because I love you, My child.
He truly is someone who is worthy of all praises and worship. If I had to just thank one person in my life, it definitely would be Him. Because it is Him that I am able to breathe right now, to live the life I have been blessed with and to be able to write this post now. It is because of Him, I have been blessed abundantly and it is because of Him that I am saved.
I could continue on non-stop about all the amazing things that He has done in my life but to do so, it would take me 17 years. Because every year...no wait every day of my life, I have been blessed by Him. Thus, I'll just list briefly the few things He has blessed me with:
1. my family
2. my friends
3. the house I live in
4. all the things I own
5. and most of all my life.
P.S: Dont mind this post...as usual Í had nothing better to blog about so I just decided to let my fingers work the keyboard and see what the product would be. However, this post is anything but crap because I really do serve an almighty God...that is undeniable.
He is mighty to save and He truly is the One.

School's a bore...what's new?
After 5 days of break from school; 2 days being the weekend and 3 days of unofficial holiday declared by yours truly (me that is), waking up this morning was a drag! Especially since the first thing I heard when I woke up was the thunder and rain pouring heavily! *hides back under the covers* I thought to myself as I slowly brushed my teeth, 'Why did it not rain in the morning the 5 days I stayed at home and of all days it had to rain on the day I decided to go to school?!' Beautiful timing! Well, after dragging myself out of the house went to school and surprise; surprise....school was BORING!!! Sat down and did my own revision; which I could have easily done so back home with my lappy on and my little baby bears surrounding me...eesh! Thus, after a dreadful day in school, I have decided to take another two days of break from school.
I think I have 'ponteng' school more than a month...wait correction two months in total for the whole year through and my parents are getting use to it. I mean come on, if all I am going to do in school is revise my studies on my own might else well I do it at home in PEACE!
Okay, enough of blabbering...off to either watch tv or if I am really diligent, I shall study a little before I head to bed (much later). ciao
P.S: exam next monday!...stupid exams!

blogging- bored!
This is getting so boring! I don't understand how people can manage to keep their blog alive for more than a month! I'm practically dying to keep mine alive...okay maybe it's because those people have interesting lifes and I've just got a boring one. Hmmm. I don't think I shall dwell in self pity...that's just so not right. *pauses and wonders*
Well, okay I guess I shall began crapping about what I plan to do after SPM; which is only less than 2 months away...*faints*. Great now i'm feeling guilty for watching One Tree Hill while blogging. (Chad Michael Murray and Jeffrey Lafferty are so hot!)
Putting aside studies and wiping off those drools, here is my 'To do List" after SPM:
1. SLEEP!
2. Shopping!! (Gabby, we're finally going on our date!)
3. Hanging out with my friends!
4. School-hunting! (Anyone who knows a good school that has a good Form 6 Sastera/Sejarah stream...come to me!)
5. Going for a holiday (All expenses paid by my beloved parents. haha)
6. Youth Breakaway (Frasers Hill...*oh boy headache!*)
7. Finding for a part time job
8. Getting my own NEW handphone!
Hmmm, well I can't think of anymore right now but I guess I shall just take it step by step and I know God's going to be there for me and help me through everything! That is why I love my God!...He is an amazing God and He has proved that to me! Amen!
Okay, I think that this is all for now...mind has blanked out.
Ciao!

Exams back to back!
Trial is over!!! *jumps for joy* Well, if that is so why aren't I feeling more excited and relieved? *wonders* Oh yeah, now I remember! Stupid school exam next Friday! Argh...just when I thought I could finally take a breather, another exam pops up and books are going to be my best friend. Don't you ever get bored with just studying? cause I know I sure have gotten bored of just staring at the books and doing work! *Sigh* However, I shall try to be optimistic: let's see it's just three more months and then I can take a break for about six months! I shall absolutely enjoy those six months with exceptions of finding the right school and maybe a job. *hmmm*
Anyways, I think that this is all for now. Ciao!

okay, i'm half way...well 80% done with my trials and i am so waiting for time to...you guess it! SLEEP!!! overall, the 7 subjects that i have sat for...Chemistry seems to have been the hardest. and i thought i actually did study...argh! so frustrating at times when you think that you've studied and covered everything but then when you read the questions...nothing makes sense. *sighs* well, my mum said that the most important thing is for me to do my best and my dad said that this isn't the real exam so it doesn't really matter. i think i shall just take thosé 'advices' as hints that it doesnt really matter if i cant do all too well. however, at the same time i still want to do well...
right...what am i crapping about? argh! anyways, my mum actually made a blog for...no not for herself and not for my sister...she actually made a blog for my DOG...(hold on dont tell my mum i called Anya a dog...) if you want to, you can check out http://www.bee-girl-speak.blogspot.com/

book worm time!
For the next three weeks, I'll be burrying myself under books, books, books...have I mention books? hehe. It's trial time! *faints* Why oh why do we need to have exams? *wonders* To make matters worst, I am not ready at all for this trial and though it doesn't matter that much as I'm going form 6...but still it is an exam and it is better for me if I did well. *cross fingers*
I have actually just finished one paper yesterday; Bible Knowledge. thank goodness I read and I went through the questions! phew! thank you God! hehe. And so I have 9 subjects left... HELP!!!
P.S: to all my friends who are having their trials sooner or later, all the best!

crap
Hey everyone, well it's one more day till the holidays end. Sadly, I did not really study when I should have been studying. I think you can just call me a lazy bum...I've been sitting down in the tv room watching tv, eating and surfing online. And for the past one year or so, I have learned the art of procrastinating...and I have become a pro I would say. Earlier this month, I was given an Add Maths project and I am to hand it in after the holidays...guess what I decided that it would be best to start doing the project two days before the holidays end.
Okay, I think I have been babbling about useless things but that 's what my sis asked me to do. just write whatever that comes into your mind. great advice Sa!
ciao for now.

Gentlemen's Day
Hey everyone! It's holiday time! Woohoo! Oops sorry was "ss-ing" hehe. Anyways, I only have a week of break and it isn't exactly a break for me either. Everyday I have tuition and I have to study for an exam coming up right after the holidays. Plus so much other stuff on my mind...now; now I just wish I could runaway to a far; far away land and just have everything the way I want it to be. However, we all know that; that far away land never exists! *screams* Sorry I so am having a bad day.
Okay, enough of the emo-ing. Last Saturday, we, the girls of ALFA youth, had a fun yet tiring time planning and decorating the place for Gentlemen's day. Even though, there were some differences between us girls and with the ice cream melting in my hands (yummy yummy!), we still had a great time planning this event for the guys. They of course mean a lot to us and we have come to realize how important they are to us especially when it comes to all those hard and heavy work. So thank you guys! You've all been the best and I personally appreciate each one of you even though we all have our differences. =D
Love you all!
Take care and have a great holiday!!

Winter Frost
This poem was not written by me but by one of my friend's friend. i read this poem and i felt like i could totally understand the couples' feelings. i love this poem thus i'm just going to post this up. Gabrielle...hopefully your friend doesnt mind me posting his poem up. =D
Winter frost
OUR love blossomed as spring begun,
As beautiful flowers bloomed under the sun
You held my hand and you touched my heart
From that moment on, we would never part
It felt like magic, the love that we shared
The greatest feeling that I’ve ever had
So I decided to let my words be few
For my heart spoke of an eternity with you
Then summer came and spring had to go
As for our love, it continued to grow
Then I was certain about you and I
That our young love would never die
Love grew deeper with each new day
We thought our summer would forever stay
Foolish we were, indulging in such bliss
We thought it would actually last like this
Our dear summer ended with a sigh
Leaves began falling, autumn drew nigh
Losing the magic that spring had brought
We gave our love second thoughts
Then I held you close and began to say
Don’t leave, everything will be okay
But the change we felt could not be denied
For autumn had come, summer had died
And ’twas the end of summer’s reign
With autumn’s approach and with it, much pain
But pain wasn’t the word to describe it
For it was only the tiniest bit
Of the tip of the iceberg that autumn brought
Beneath it all was worse than we thought
’twas then I really began to appreciate
The love we once shared as it moved towards hate
Autumn leaves fell, slowly, fading to gray
As did our love, slowly fading away
Autumn was longer than we thought it would be
We wished what came next, would come hastily
I went all out and said, “Come what may!”
“Be careful what you wish for,” I heard some say
For out of the blue came a hint of snow
You gave me ‘that look’ and I said, “I know”
With a peck on the cheek we sealed our goodbyes
How I wish I could wipe those tears off your eyes
How I wish I could hold your hand once again
To say that our love would forever remain
But now I sit here all by myself,
and all by myself I linger
With deep regret because I expected our love to last forever
But like the trees that fade and the flowers that wither
Our love wasn’t strong enough to survive the winter

friendship
I'm sick...sobs. down with on and off fever, flu, slight cough and sore throat...in 2 short words: viral flu. Sad; sad...and I have a BK quiz tomorrow...haiz. Okay, this wasn't my point of coming here to blog today.
I received an email from a very dear and close friend of mine and I was really touched by the email she send (was close to tears reading her email). Anyways, it really just made me appreciate her even more and it also open my eyes to how important my friends are to me.
Sometimes, though we may not realize or may not like to admit it, we do take a few of our friends for granted; especially those who are so kind and caring to us.
I've gone through a few ups and downs with a couple of friends and I really do regret my actions. However, I am happy I did go through those tough moments because it has taught me many lessons.
Okay, I think I am starting to babble and sound like a grandma. Thus, I shall stop here for now and Leisha...please teach me how you can actually write such a long post...mine's like less than half of yours. hehe.
lesson learned: Never take for granted any of your friends; especially the ones who are closest to your heart. =D

I've gone through a few ups and downs with a couple of friends and I really do regret my actions. However, I am happy I did go through those tough moments because it has taught me many lessons.
Okay, I think I am starting to babble and sound like a grandma. Thus, I shall stop here for now and Leisha...please teach me how you can actually write such a long post...mine's like less than half of yours. hehe.
lesson learned: Never take for granted any of your friends; especially the ones who are closest to your heart. =D

love teaches many things
Lately, I've seen a couple of my friends go through a heart break and I myself could not bear to see them go through such a tough time. I think I can say that I do understand what it feels like losing someone you love and wishing that our broken heart could be mend a.s.a.p.
One of my dear friends made a huge mistake by letting go of the guy she loves (deeply) and now he refuses to get back with her. Not only that, he does not even want to talk to her nicely, he also critizes her as if she were some kind of trash and never a part of his past.
Helping her go through this hard period, I've learned to never take for granted the people we love especially the ones very close and dear to our heart. Furthermore, I think I've also learned to walk before I leap...or was it look before I leap. well...erm I think you got my point. =D.
p.s.
- let the one you love know you love them for it is never too much to do so. what happens the day after today...we aren't sure thus we should never take them for granted.

A change of heart
I was browsing through a few of my friends' blogs and well I decided to post this up. Though this event took place a couple of weeks back, I don't see any reason why I should not just write this.
It was either early or the middle of July when my church had its' 2nd prayer encounter for the year. I was awfully upset and angry when my mum told me that I had to go for this event. In my heart I complained and on that day itself (a Friday), I went to church gloomy and I refused to open my heart to worship God or to let God speak to me. However, while watching the video ''Global day of Prayer'', my heart slowly melted and the door of my heart open ajar. I also began to feel God moving within me.
Then when we, the youths, started praying and worshipping, I began to really feel God's presence in that room and God moving among us. I prayed for my loved ones that they would one day know The Almighty and receive Him as their Saviour, for the people of the world and everything that has been going on lately, be it political or social matters.
While doing so, God began to speak to me. He told me that no matter what happens He'll always be there for me. and there was this one sentence that did not leave my mind the whole night through "Return to me, Your first love". Till this day I still do hold on to that phrase and pray silently in my heart that I would really return back to Him.
At the end of the night, my friends and I were drained and tired out after all the crying and praying and singing, but deep down in each of our hearts we knew that God was pleased with us. I knew that I went back home with a peace of mind and a really calm feeling; the total opposite of how I felt when I first stepped into church that day. I had come to realize that no matter how much I had sin against Him, He would still forgive me and if we really are genuine about returning to Him, He would accept us with open arms and an open heart.

1st post
Hey everyone...well this is my 2nd blog. For those who know my 1st blog...you can nicely delete it. Anyways, this is my first post and I so have to thank my dear sister; who willingly spend half the night setting up this blog for me. As many of you may know I am not exactly a computer whiz unlike her. So thanks Sa for tolerating my 1000 and 1 questions and ridiculous statements. =D.
The reason for making a new blog and blogging once again was...I shall be honest I saw everyone blogging and I thought to myself 'it does look like fun. so why not?' Hence, here it is but I shan't be blogging that much. only when I feel like doing so.
that's all for now...and thanks for viewing my blog.
