Butterflies In My Stomach.

Went to church today, with pain in my stomach, thanks to the menstrual due! But, my uncle reminded me that I was the back-up singer, so I put on a -____- face and went for it. And later my father joined me and my friend (actually). I gave all out and to me, I sounded like trash, but then my boyfriend protests and said "you rocked.' Like always.

And then a miracle happened.

Today was the day we came to the table of the Lord. You know how painful it is if we had stomach ache at times we don't ask for it. So I was sitting uncomfortably, and holding my friend's hand if the pain strikes my tummy. So after praying and eating the bread and the grape (don't get me wrong, they symbolizes Jesus' body), I immediately felt better! It's like the pain was never there! How awesome it can be when you are with the Lord!

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13)


And going back from the church, my friend who was working at TheSpring got me two books I've always wanted. Okay, another wonderful miracle. I got these two books for free! And I've been wanting them for life ago (kidding), but you could say it was long. Thank God! You can imagine me dancing around and hugging my friend. It was wonderful, a wonderful Sunday indeed. Hallelujah!

It's not new, she's my neighbor's.

I love her so much! :*

And lo, do you get my excitement? Finally the sister of the 'Haunted' is here! 

Rubbishes actually.

No For The Old, Yes For The New. I'm Happy.

Good afternoon! So I suggested a new recipe to my mother today (out of her own shelf) and she-to my surprise- gave me a green light! Hallelujah, now I can jump up to the skies and rejoice.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 1:16-18).

Next up is these Silver Diamonds cookies. I wondered why were they called 'silver' then next to it comes out 'diamonds.' :'

I hope you people can suggest me some things to bake too. Thank you.

I'm thinking to bake some for one potluck program at my church. That's where I think I could begin this small thing. Well, at least it has acceptable incomes. Hmm... I'll just have to bring this thing up in prayer.

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.' (Mark 11:24) Amen!

I've got nothing more to say, but I'll post again if I got news on the cookies, okay? Signing off!

I Didn't Think Today Was Fun At All :(

Since it wasn't fun, so I just took random pictures to MAKE it fun. Unfortunately, that didn't switch my mood. Hmm ....

I finished reading this two days ago. And it was the best novel ever read (by me).

Garnier product fan seriously :)

My sister's. I used them to color the drawings I've drawn.

Busy for Sunday service. Got a lot of songs from different books and references.

The Chocolate Candy Mint Cookies.

Goodnight :)

No Words.....

....just pictures :)

What Do You Think We're Doing?

We (my father, little sister and I) went for a jog at Friendship Park here in Kuching itself. It's already late evening so we decided to go one round in half an hour only. I caught a lot of pictures while waiting for my father to finish his second round. I only managed to do one round and the muscles in my leg are already protesting. :'

Looking forward to a better day tomorrow.

Tracks

So today was both fun and boring. I was left at home alone by my mother who went to send my brother and sister to an after-school program at school, and it sounded fun to me. Back from transporting, my mother bought me Laksa because she knew I've been craving for it for these last two days. And I ended up can't finish it, because I was too full with I don't know. TV show? I don't think so.

Then in the afternoon, I wrapped my sister's new Standard 3 text and activity books. I paused and continued repeatedly while I was doing that. This explains it : I was watching NSN, and I can't keep my eyes of Bieber! Yeah, babbling again. Afterwards, I watched some TV series with my siblings and eventually fell sleepy. And I had a nap until it was seven, something. That was for my father who actually woke me up. Thanks to him, if not I'll be sleeping until sometime.

I caught a few pictures by then, but now I don't know where the camera is. So in the bright morning okay?

Then in the night, I went to the Boys Home to accompany my father on a Bible class for the naughty boys there. I thought that they were going to send a woman warden with them so at least I won't have to feel weird being the only girl, but the look turned me down. Oh well. I had to get used to sit among naughty boys who were once so aggressive.

See these boys were either caught by the police and sent here or recommended themselves by their parents because of their hyper-activeness. I got this wonderful yet washed feeling for them. It was such a sad thing to see them separated from their families, just because of their 'fault.' So there' one thing I learned here-thankful :)

So we learned about being a new-born Christian, passage taken from a talk with Nicodemus (John 3:1-13). It was wonderful watching them listen so obediently to the teacher for the night. Amazement overwhelmed me with their attitude. I was touched!

Anyway, I was told to blog about this guy, and he recommended himself. Muhammad Khairi Azizi. bin Koes Allyman or I call him M. KAKA :)

He's one of my bestest friends. He knows most of my secrets, I know a bit of his. But we seriously never forget each other when we are down or either sides are not ourselves. He's big, essential as a protector, his hair is mend into a Jacob-like structure just like his brother's. He seriously looked heart-melting (for other girls, not me) with that outlook. Wanna see?

Haha. Brother, you're one teddy bear y'know? Gonna miss him next year, and lots more important people in my lives :"(

Yeah, that's all I could describe about him. Model on my blog-page :)

And now, I just finished writing a letter for my grandma in Australia. I'm gonna ask my father to send it for me tomorrow to the post office. If not, I'll drive the car all the way there, like I dare to drive on the main road. 

So here's the finished letter with my signature on it. I hope she receives it, and I'll have a reply within less than five months. If not, then I'm flying on the plane once more. I'd browse through the airline tickets online and it surprised me to find out there were no cheap tickets for the Christmas season.

And now I'm randomly posting pictures. Don't get mad :)

She was a sister, very :)

That's me and my father, laughing at Ted's joke about a sausage bun.

Now these three pictures were taken two days ago during a preaching day by Pastor Christopher from a local church in KL.

Enjoying our food, and I ate through all my Nasi Lemak Ayam. 

Our youth leader, Ted Walter.

Wonderful musicians, Dominick and Nathaniel.

Regrets

Well visitors, sorry about my last two posts. I know they were very simple and boring and devastating and all those, so here's something I thought would cheer you guys up and make you forgive my PAST mistakes. Hehe ^^

So in the afternoon after dropping my sister off at school and fetching my brother at the same time, I had a nap in the car and I woke up, surprised to have the car parked in front of my English pop. Remember Bro. Mark? Yeah, his house. That was his mother's actually, but since she's already gone to be with the Lord, she hands it over to pop. We talked and babbled and talked and babbled with his 20-year-old son, until his wife came home.  Then we chit-chatted more with a glass of Milo each. And, as time passes, my pop's wife (we call her Rose) remembers that she'd had some clothes that she wanted my mother to repair and make. Not forgetting, she also got  this trendy kind of long-sleeved purple shirt. Awesome shit is awesome, and I'm gonna wear it ti the mission I'm joining this Eid Haji.

And then, I was gardening in the evening, back from Rose's place. I planted, potted and watered lots of kinds of flowers and guess what. I've accidentally deleted the pictures from my camera!

Here's the thing.

I wanted to move it to a folder in my laptop and I think it was already transferred. When I clicked on the folder which was only on the left side pf the screen, 'This folder is empty.' How more disappointed can I get? And I've took so many beautiful pictures I thought I would be able to blog about, and POOF! They're gone, just like that. I can get no more sad. Oh God, it's the payment I get.

And now, I'm still with the shirt. I only have the picture of me with this shirt. How could I be so careless? 

I was looking forward to a beautiful blog, yeah, the pictures.

Late Post :)

This was my first late post, or should I say one of the latest posts. I have nothing to say mostly, but the two days were awesomely awesome.

A blog wouldn't be complete without PICTURES, or something connected to it. Babbling.

Lazy to talk about yesterday, so let's move on to today. We had Show Choir Glee-Like, and my class did the best though we practiced at the eleventh hour. The boys were impressing, and the girls were splendid! No pictures for that, I forgot to hand over the camera to someone responsible. Later after that, my father, brother and I went the Logos ship which just berthed at KPA port yesterday. That, was in the day. I had a lot of pictures of my brother. mostly (I think). So pictures. Tomorrow, kay?
