Thank you...

Thank you guys for your prayers. I felt much better for the past week. Though studies are getting heavier, it feels much better with God inside the picture. I've set aside my morning to do my quiet time. It just feels so great to start the day with spending time with Him. It feels like I'm back to the highlands.

Of course, I still miss Ipoh. I especially miss everything in Ipoh when I was asked to do public speaking in my English class. I introduced Ipoh to my classmates and they were so interested in it. Hehe.. I miss kuoy teow, beansprout chicken, "heong piah", my time with EY, my time with my family, my piggy, etc.

Anyways, I want to thank some people who have been keeping me accompanied through the time of adjustment. Thank you dad and mum for calling once in a while. Thank you bro for missing my noise :P. Thank you Kian Aun and Wan Li for your calls and sms-es. Thank you Ricky, Amelia, Shireen, Bernice, Wan Wai, Bill Liew, Matthew, etc. for your calls, sms-es and MSN chats. It's really comforting to have people checking me or asking me how I'm doing (especially since it's from home). Thank you Li Ann, Alex, Chong Han, Bridget, Joyce, Lyon, Glenn and others from RBS who have sms-ed, chat or call me. And lastly, some people who are far from me and yet still keeping me accompanied. You know who you are. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Dear God,

Thank you for sending so many wonderful
people to my life.

Life is getting tough

The word "tough" made me think of RBS. It has been more than 2 months since i left RBS. Staying back in Ipoh after that was totally fine. I've got a whole bunch of people guiding me, keeping me accountable, etc. Thinking of my life now in matriks.. it's so different. I'm currently not going through a nice time spiritually. Quiet time has been REALLY inconsistent. Living a life as a Christian is not easy. But, I am trying really hard. I guess.. I'm not that tough after all. Please pray for me.

Studies isn't easy too. When I wake up, I see people studying. When I go to cafeteria for meals, I see people studying. Before I sleep, I see people studying. Wherever I go, I see people opening their books and studying. OMG!!! The point is, I don't know what to study. Everybody seems to be so busy.. studying. Classes are quite hectic. It's not like what people said - very easy one! It's nonsense! Classes are from 8am to 5pm. That depends on your scheldule, too. It's like so crazy. After finishing the tutorial classes, you rush to the lecture. After the lecture, you rush back to the tutorial class. Oh gosh! That explains why I fell sick after the first day of classes.

I went for my teaching interview last Tuesday. It went on quite smoothly I suppose. I was the only chinese then. I was offered English as my major.. PJ and Pengajian Sosial as minor. Though I'm SO VERY KEEN to get into teaching, may God's will be done. Honestly, until now, I still don't see why I'm here. I still don't understand what He has for me in front.

I'm missing many things back in Ipoh. Okay! I admit.. I got a little homesick. It's not that serious already. First few days were worst! Now, I'm okay with it.. getting use to it actually. Luckily, I'm given 3 wonderful room mates. :) They kind of helped me pulled through one way or another. I'm sure this is God's blessing. Not everybody has room mates as good as mine. We go to meals together, study together, laugh together, share together, etc. Well.. if I happen to leave here, they are the ones that will make me don't feel like leaving. Weird huh? Anyway.. please remember me in prayer. I really need them now.

Away from home

Hi people!!!

Just for your information, I'm now studying in Kolej Matrikulasi Pahang in Gambang.

Orientation week was darn tiring. Sleeping time per day is only around 4 hours or so. Well.. I survived! Hehe.. Sad thing is that I've been on biscuits and bread for 3 meals per day for almost a week. Rice only entered my stomach on Thursday. Sad case.. Time to eat is also limited. I think when school starts tomorrow, it will be better.

I won't get to online as much as I want. But, I will still try my best to keep in touch with everyone. Give me a call or an sms, I'll appreciate those a lot. :)

Weekend in Kuantan is fun. Grandparents and parents came over. Went to do some shopping at East Coast Mall (ECM). Uncle gave us a treat.. JAPANESE FOOD - my all time favourite sushi! WOOHOO!!! :D
Gotta go back to college soon. Need to go pack up. Till then. See ya!

Wonderful things that pulled me through...


I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me.
He freed me from all my fears.
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;
no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened;
he saved me from all my troubles.
For the angel of the LORD is a guard;
he surounds and defends all who fear him.

Taste and see that the LORD is good.
Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
Fear the LORD, you his godly people,
for those who fear him will have all they need.
Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry,
but those who trust in the LORD will lack no good thing.
Psalm 34:4-10


Oh, the joys of those who trust in the LORD,
who have no confidence in the proud
or in those who worship idols.
O LORD my God, you have performed many wonders for us.
Your plans for us are too numerous to list.
You have no equal.
If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,
I would never come to the end of them.

You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings.
Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand-
you don't require burnt offerings.
Then I said, "Look, I have come.
As it is written about me in the Scriptures:
I take joy in doing your will, my God,
for your instructions are written on my heart."
Psalm 40:4-8


Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again-
my Savior and my God!
Psalm 42:11


The LORD says,"I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.
Psalm 32:8
