Just a an ordinary girl, living for an extraordinary God.

Butterfly Milk

So this week was our school break and I went and watched the Lorax twice.

But it was a really good movie!

It made me feel like I wanted to plant a tree.

And the singing goldfish were like amazing.

So I watched it on tuesday with David and Tetsuo.

All I really can say about that little get together is that there is a reason why we only meet up

every couple of months.

HAHA.

And then on wednesday I had to drive my sister at OU again because she had here little day out with raquel.

So I had nothing to do but to explore the entire OU.

And the old wing new wing old new wing is really big.

The renovations are really nice and they have a lot of stores that I didnt know that they had.

So that was actually really fun.

And on thursday I went out with my little cousins to watch the Lorax again.

We explored Toys’R'Us and they had a really fun time.

I didnt get a picture of annabelle because she was really shy but it was really nice to see them!

And with another one on the way it is really exciting.

ESPECIALLY SINCE I GET TO BE HERE,

AND

THE BABY IS LIKE DUE AROUND JULY 22.

MY BIRTHDAY IS 21.

maybe they can have the baby early?

(Y)

Anyways I am really close to finishing up now.

then ill start working and stuff.

I was really excited to leave in the summer to start college.

But since I’m going for the spring semester I actually think its a good thing.

Ill be able to do a lot of things that I wanted to do.

And i get to spend one more christmas here.

So im pretty excited about that.

Uh-Oh

SO.

you know lately with all this free time kinda,

i’ve been thinking about stuff.

and reading like stuff.

and i think something that i felt really disturbed about was how much people like hate on  this country.

they complain about this and that

and

 they basically have nothing good to say.

But then again its not like they are even doing to like improve those situations.

Other then repost/retweet/reshare articles or videos.

THEN AGAIN,

i am in no way saying that our country is perfect.

in every country there IS

corrpution,

in-justice,

bad people,

and so on.

HOWEVER,

our country is doing pretty well.

the government helps pay for our petrol and our water,

the government hospitals are clean and you can actually get mostly efficient care without it wiping out your savings,

our cost of living isn’t very high when compared to other places,

good food, nice people,

and personally every time I’ve had an encounter with a policeman they’ve always been really friendly and helpful,

well the list can go on.

But basically I just want to say that I came from a country where people were fearful of the police,

because the police could beat them, rob them, cheat them, and the people wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.

Where 25,000 nurses went on strike and said that they would let people die until they got higher pay.

Where hospitals are so dirty, the lines are so long, no sufficient medial care or equipment to treat patients, and not enough staff that it feels like you might just get worse there,

not better.

Where thousands of people were senselessly killed because of the tribe they were from and the government did nothing to help.

Where the cost of living is increasing everyday, people paying 20 ringgit for one kilo of sugar.

And I bet that the price has gone up since the last time my mom went back.

A place where the roads have such big potholes that your car literally sinks all the way  into it and then has to dig its way out.

BASICALLY,

yeah there are things that we can improve in our country,

things that should change.

but what country doesn’t?

We should really just take a moment to appreciate what we have.

I just think that we should just do a little less hating and a lot more changing.

okay rant over.

have a good week!

The Wait Is OVERRRR.

just a little lameness to start this extremely happy post.

SO. I GOT INTO THE UNIVERSITY THAT I REALLY REALLY WANTED TO GO TO.

and i am so unbelievably excited.

like the stress, the sleepless nights, the tiredness…ALL WORTH IT.

like i cant believe that they accepted me.

ALL BY GOD’S GRACE.

it was like 7 AM in the morning when i found out and like a few minutes later I was screaming with my mom…

while my dad kinda just looked at us.. haha took him awhile to understand what was going on.

and then my sister comes down and says “Congratulations….now you can go and buy me stuff.”

SO YEAH. HAHA.

They moved me to leave for the spring so i have a LOT of time on my hands.,

and the extra time is nice.

It’s nice to have a good chunk of time to explore and to enjoy freedom,

before i have to enter the reality of being independent.

I’ll be working for awhile which is good so that i wont waste away my whole break.

SO anyways thats what I have lined up for me so far.

Trying to squeeze in a couple of mission trips here and there but yeah!

So I just really want to thank all of you who did pray for me, I really appreciate that!

I do want to make a list of stuff that i want to do before I leave.

which is far away but i still have things I want to do,

like eat banana leaf rice.

um you dont actually eat the leaf,

its just like rice on a leaf.

Oh My

I’ve been counting how many books i have left like every night.

and i am really close to finishing.

I just really have to push it to finish by march.

Two months of hard labor,

then five months of fun.

Well thats what i keep telling myself.

and then myself tells me that i could just have like 4 of easy labor instead of going through all the hard labor now.

but i just really REALLY need to finish up 12th grade like as soon as possible.

but life has been good.

I guess i have been starting to feel like time has been really getting away from me.

its almost march, and then after march is april, then may, then june, then july, and then i start college and its like

WHAT?

so i really want to like enjoy everything before the beginning of my so called

“adulthood”

starts.

I was dreading going to school this year because i thought I would feel really old,

and i still do,

but i the good part is that I feel super smart all the time because i can help everyone else with their

academic work problems.

(Y)

So tomorrow i will be speaking for chapel,

300 kids.

600 eyes.

well like 600 eyes ++ because i didnt include the teachers and all.

I feel really nervous.

I haven’t really spoken to that many people before.

Well that’s all…..

The Waiting Game

So i got accepted into college.

YAY.

haha its just really werid to come to the end of like a really long but important process and then

to actually succeed feels werid.

not that im even complaining im just relived that half the battle is over.

Now that im accepted i have to like apply for scholarships which is the other half.

But still praying and believing that the right doors are going to opened.

anyways the other day i was talking to gong about star wars and he goes

“YOU ARE MYYYYYY SONNNN”

and it took me a second to understand that he was trying to quote the line

“I AM YOUR FATHERR”

in other important news:

i decided that trigonometry and physics are not for me.

and i really need to buy the movie The Princess Bride.

High Gear

good morning

SO that is basically what ive been feeling for the past couple of weeks.

HOWEVER.

my interview is finished with so i feel more relaxed and ive been able to sleep so i feel more normal now.

Thank you all so much for the prayers and all the support that was given to me.

It’s all in God’s hands now so we just have to wait and see.

i hate waiting but its okay because i have lots of things to do.

ANYWAYS.

so my mom left and came back and brought food and other things so that was nice.

and um well i went out with some other pk’s for lunch and movie!

yeah i know the pic is really not very good but owh well.

it was really fun and it was nice to have a day free of stress.

nice to meet sam and eunice and nice to catch up with grace and eugene.

so as you can probably see it was a nice day.

we watched haywire.

i HIGHLY recommend that you NOT watch it.

It was really bad. like no kidding.

like i can totally deal with action movies. i like them if they have good plot and all.

but haywire is just a lot of blood, and hitting, and killing.

with very very bad plot.

so if you like that well then i guess you would like haywire.

otherwise its really just not that great.

anyway.

um my course work for school is like really tough!

i mean i guess 12th grade is supposed to be tough but its really killing me.

the math and science anyway.

but mr.nick has been really good to me and has been really great in helping me out with that.

This week is the first CF of the year and i am really excited to see how well the team is going to do.

so yup! thats pretty much all thats been happening so far.

hopefully ill have more exciting things to write about soon!

(:

And All I Wanted to Say Was Something Real

Pinned Image

Helloooo.

SO i booked a college interview. With a really good college.

I am kind of nervous.

So if you feel like you want to be nice to me you could pray for me.

like all the time.

HAHAHA. I’m just kidding but any prayers that are directed my way are very much appreciated!

My moods lately have been exactly like the ones shown above.

12th grade is really stressing me out.

Its so hard and it takes me forever to study and forever to take the tests.

I just want to be really sure because i do not want to mess up my GPA for like 12th grade.

My deadline is March. I’m like really close but yet really far away.

Hate that feeling.

The other day my sister had worship practice and I got to bond with these two little people.

They are like my favorite little people ever.

Really nice and they have a good sense of humor.

A good sense of humor always goes a long way with me.

I feel really proud of how they’ve grown up and all.

Really honored to have served with them last year too! (:

Had brunch with that man there and the sister.

It was so nice to see him after like ever.

Still the same jon tho.

He took us to this place called whisk?

The coffee was yum.

I’m actually quite impressed that vickie drank it.

Her “coffee” = fraps

Which we all know is NOT coffee.

If you’re like wondering how like all the sudden i’m posting up so many like pictures

its because i have an iphone now.

Well i have my mom’s old iphone so its way easier to take and upload.

Star Wars Episode I is also coming in 3D and so is Lion King.

But i am most excited about Beauty and the Beast.

New Adventures

HEYY EVERYONE.

So i pretty much started the new year meeting up with some of the most awesome people ever.

THE PK COMMITTEE. (:

We had really good fellowship and I guess its just nice to be around other Pk’s.

The banana’s were reunited for a short time and they’re always fun. (:

So that was totally fun and we had such an awesome filled prayer meeting after that.

Our prayer meeting was FIVE HOURS. HAHA.

if you know me that could sound shocking because I will be the first to admit that prayer is not my strongest area.

However the time we spent was very refreshing and like soothing.

Like a getting a big gulp of air before the hectic-ness of the year starts up again.

And then after that there were a group of us that went out to eat,

and me and grace being the “sickly” ones went to McD’s and got the porridge.

HAHA. SOUNDS LAME.

but grace was sick from food poisoning by like coffee shops like that and lately ive been hearing horror stories.

better to be safe then sorry?

but the porridge wasnt that bad but wasnt that too good either.

Went we went back they started to play monoply deal and Phoebe was kind enough to teach me.

SO we pretty much played that till like 4AM. I won two games. (Y)

And then after that we woke up and we had a great breakfast and a little bit more of fellowship.

AND THEN MARCUS HAD TO LEAVE. :(

But ill hopefully see him stateside.

OWH OWH. AND I LEARNED THAT APPARENTLY IM LIKE NOT AN INTROVERT.

I am tho. Everyone seems to disagree, but its like inside I really feel like I am an introvert.

So anyway that was a good two days spent.

Then school started. I really dont have pictures of that but it’s been good.

I feel like sooo old. Everyone is like so young and like filled with energy,

i feel so slow next to them. HAHA.

but nice to see a lot of familiar faces

I  am quite happy with my cubicle so thats good.

I was sick but now im better and then my mom got sick.

But she’s better now.

My dad has been calling me the germ passer.

=.=

So i think thats all I have to say about the last few weeks.

Hope you guys are having a great start to your year too!

2.0.1.2.

Pinned Image

SO 2012 IS FINALLY HERE.

and i cant believe it.

I remember when i was like in the first grade and feeling so excited about 2012.

Because 2012 would be the day that I finally graduated from school,

it seemed so far away.

not so far away anymore.

This year definitely started a little bit rocky,

however i have to say it has been like the best year ever.

I have grown like so much over this year,

and its amazing that despite all my failures and shortcomings that God has still

remained faithful to me.

I am so grateful for that and sometimes i wonder how its ever possible,

but all i know is that the scriptures are true,

his mercies are new EVERY morning.

Its like i feel bad for the people who thought that the world really was going to end in 2012,

to live in such an evil and confused world,

to live in uncertainty all the time.

Makes me so glad that i have Jesus. (:

On another note, I have been like sick.

like really disgustingly sick.

I have this really bad virus and it just made me feel so gross inside.

and i had to go to watch night service like that,

I FELT LIKE I WAS DYING. haha

major exaggeration but it was pretty bad.

Then i started a fever during the service,

but i got a panadol and i’m on antibiotics so it like slightly improved itself.

THE FIREWORKS AT CHURCH WERE LIKE SO AMAZING.

It’s like the best fireworks i have ever seen.

THEY WERE AMAZINGGGGG.

pic.twitter.com/0imfThH

like thats the best i can do with my iphone camera but just know that in real life it was like

100 times better.

SO with all that being said,

I am looking forward to the new year and expecting greater things!

HAPPY NEW YEARRR. (:
