Guess what I found today?

3 brother/sisters while I was helping dad water the plants in the garden.  

Sibling #1

Sibling #2

And the prettiest one, (should be) their little sister. 

Now, it's not that I have anything against them but dad insisted we shift them to a new home i.e. the field across the road. Stay safe little ones!

A love that conquered death.

Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth

Crucified, laid behind the stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me above all.

Thank you! For enduring all the pain, and choosing to suffer death on the cross, just for me. 

I love you, though at times I'm not strong enough to show it. I'm sorry.

Thank you for always taking me back into your arms, no matter how much I've hurt you.

And not only do you forgive, you continue to bless me with all the cekap people and things in my life. 

You're awesome.... 

Thank you God! =D

So far..

Life since I came back from Sabah has been so full.
Full of
drama,
emotions,
travelling,
friends,
laughter,
activities,
love,
and plans.

Had a taste of God's presence. It overwhelms me with wonder and amazement, the fact that knows what He's doing, all the time. However it may seem like you feel you're abandoned or forgotten, know that you're not. Coz He's always there. Loving you. (Now, if only I could hug God....)

1. Thought that I was gonna be bored out of my wits back here but yeah, right! Hahaha.... He definitely saw to that. ;)
2. Thought my industrial training was gonna be a sad case but now, I can see that I'm so blessed to have such interesting colleagues, nice supervisors and such an amazing experience learning so much and getting a chance to have hands-on experience.
3. Thought that I was being put through so much unnecessary heartache and stress but can now grasp the reality that it has strengthened not only myself, but also my relationships with the people I care about. Never knew I had that strength. Now I do. Gotta keep challenging that boundary though. So I understand if/when more trials come. 
4. Though I'm not the most cekap, efficient, thoughtful, caring or sensitive of persons, but I am so so loved. And surrounded by the awesomest people in the world who understand me and accept me for who I am.  And I am so grateful for that. 

Can't exactly complain about anything now, can i? =)

Lillies!

My new favourites. =) 

Thanks baby!

Stagnant

Like water in dried up flower pots where mosquitoes breed. Hahaha. It's been a very long time since I've posted anything. My excuse, I've been way too busy living life, and not writing about it. =P

Sadly though, one things always, always brings me back here. It's when I'm feeling particularly down and out. Guess this time's no different. Things have been far from boring since I got home. (That used to be my biggest fear before I started my 6-month training in a small and quiet town. Well, fate has different things in store for me.) Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm still undecided.

Currently stuck in a Cornelian dilemma. And hating it.

Although I have a tendency to run away from problems I don't like, I wouldn't leave them unsolved for too long. Because it would bug me and haunt me for as long as it's still there. And now that there is a situation I would really want to iron out, I can't seem to find a permanent solution that's satisfactory. C'est la vie. But at the same time, life is what you make it. Hmmm.

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.

Thy will, not mine be done.

Turbulence & Turmoil

Both are words full of activity, full of life. (Though not very positive.)

Both words describing my inner state of mind. 

Where's my inner peace gone? =(

2010

Has certainly been an interesting one.
In fact, the cekap-ness began since I came back from Sabah. Hahaha. December 2009 has been one of the most amazingly everntful breaks I've ever had. But like most stories, it's not without its down moments. Hmmm. That's another story for another day. =]

Only 9 days into the new year and already, I feel like there's been so many changes, so many new (and not so new but forgotten) discoveries.
Both pleasant and unpleasant. But I believe the Bad stuff all happen for a reason. For one thing, I know I've grown so much from facing them in the past. This is only gonna make me stronger! =)

Wish I could post pictures and all up, but I still do not have an Internet connection from home. Currently 'borrowing' anyone and everyone's laptop I can find to have a lil pity on this Internet-less girl.

Will update when I finally get that Internet at home. =)

Happy Industrial Training all third year SSMP-ians!

And I'm still in shock over the church burnings. Stupid people. As if that's gonna help anyone resolve anything. Bodoh idiots.
