I’ll have to say, we all need at least one day of rest. PHEW! I’ve been working non-stop this week I needed a day to mentally plop on a sofa and snore my heart and soul out.

Unfortunately, that isn’t happening too soon. But I’ll definitely schedule in a big 2 or 3 hour REST some time this week. Non-optional.

An unusual party happened last week, which happened to be my grandmother’s 80th birthday bash. We had a great time, and that said from the bottom of my being!, and I loved seeing her smile. Priceless. I also did make the cake and cupcakes, pictures of which I will show you later. The theme was purple, being her favourite colour. She even donned a purple kebaya, and I think I should get one of those things myself, being Nyonya. Ahh yes.

Some exciting opportunities coming up. Zipped til they happen!

By the way, I’ve got a class THIS SATURDAY on cupcake decoration! Anyone interested? Please comment and leave your email!

Okay next up, I need to switch hosting or do SOMETHING about my super slow loading blog! Recommendations on hosting providers in Malaysia?

Right now I have a durian butter cake baking in the oven. The smell is unrighteous for 11.44pm!!! Ahh.

Goodnight!

here i am yall! finally can change my birth date to 1991 on facebook and get a current account.

but more than that, WOW! it’s been an awesome day. wonderful day! i love you all. thank you SO much for making today an amazing day for me!

i woke up this morning at 3.15 in the morning with an intense stomach hurting. it gnawed away at my upper stomach, and i nearly cried from the pain. i hobbled downstairs, realising it was gastric and i needed to puke. or do something else. or something! i moaned and groaned, prayed for healing……and called my mommy. (yeah i took my handphone with me!!! yall should do this too!)

i thought i’d be healed immediately or something, but yknow..He works through natural circumstances supernaturally! it was HIS will that I called mom, took some white medicine and charcoal pills. did you know how He showed Himself strong? i endured an agonizing 1 hour in excruciating pain, wondering what a lovely birthday gift this was, sent a text cancelling lunch appointments and generally couldn’t even think from the pain and sleepiness.

well, nothing was working; there was this battle of 4 winds going on in my stomach. just like the chinese stories i’d read when i was a little nerdy kid. i think star wars in there. all the series’ characters combined. flying phoenix, monkey king, justice pao and yoda.

an hour later, it all came out. i’m sorry you have to hear this part LOL, but after that, I could stand up straight! my gastric was gone.

it took ONE hour. the last time I had gastric , I was in Kota Kinabalu on holiday. it took 6 days to completely heal.

today it took 1 hour! PTLOL! without doing anything extraordinary, I had stayed in His will, and that’s the best place to be; His supernatural power was crafted into my life. I have learnt this week that peace and contentment comes from living in line with the Lord. it isn’t some far away place to be living in His will. it’s just a prayer away. flustered? just chill and pray. it’s so easy to experience God. He is there. are you looking?

[thank you n c j t v and EVERYBODY i know! thank you for being a part of my life. ON FB, MSN, GMAIL and my phonebook!]

i have been so chilled today. nothing can fluster me!
or rather…i have learnt to dedicate everything upwards…
wah i tell you…PRAYER WORKS!
if not immediately, be encouraged. no is also an answer.
answers come. in ways unexpected. it’s just. wow. wow wow wow.
but mostly, if you rejoice intentionally, and refuse to give in to those awful emotions….
living is so much easier!!! you just follow the spirit! you don’t doubt…
you get rewarded. wah it’s just incredible.

let’s see situations turned around today:

gaaaaaaaaaaastric (prayed like mad lah) into a faith strengthened gal!
bad hair cut (rejoiced intentionally and prayed) solutioned into a good hair cut
weird timing and no cars (didn’t do the Mumbal Grumbal) everything worked out
found the shoes I need! haha this wan I didn’t even pray for!
grumpy people (just prayed a lil) into happy ice cream testing and ice cream eating people

tired grumpy feet people (dedicated to God & food place!) fun happy people at sooshi king
night plans foiled (rejoiced intentionally, gave it up to God) NIGHT PLANS HAPPENING!

things just fell into place when they just seemed not to be!

so this is what they call living in the Spirit! peace, peace, sweet peace.
I can’t wait to grow in Him more and more each day.
I think I’m easier to be around too. ^_^ *don’t snigger!*

When I pray, coincidences happen, and when I don’t, they don’t. – Sir William Temple

aiyoh goodnight yall I must wake up early to seek His face tomorrow! Or rather…TODAY!

Something I’ve been meditating on:

Psalm 37
* vs 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
* vs 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
* vs 5 Commit you way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.
* vs 6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
* vs 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
* vs 39 The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble.
* vs 40 And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked; and save them, because they trust in Him.

My passion & perseverance can get knocked out pretty easily. Sustaining is a hard thing for me. I got pretty discouraged at my lack of maintenance, but the real secret is to run to Him every morning.

John C. Shaw

Every morning – “I set myself on fire and people come to watch me burn” – John Wesley

We’ve been going through the amazing series at my cell, digging through the Bible to answer questions on this one sheet of paper. I’ve grown so much by comparing David’s relationship with God & Paul’s perseverance and passion to receive the prize and run the race well.

I find however I forget and lose grasp of these “Good Thoughts”. Food for thought. Food for thought must be munched on. I always bookmark things. I keep telling myself, “I gotta read this over again! Gotta read more of it, gotta hang on to it, delve in more”. But I keep being busy, and I slowly lose grasp of it. In the end I forgot why it was important. And you guessed it, LOSE IT.

Do any of you feel that?

I believe the one thing lacking from my life is going deep into something & spending time to meditate on it. My entrepreneurship module, the Word of God, anything and everything. I’ve begin setting time-outs for myself now.

Meditation: ‘Chewing the cud’ – what a sheep does. A sheep has 3 stomachs! He chews (meditates) on his food (the Word, or anything you want to grow in) 3 times over. Tell me you won’t grow in a subject! Growing takes time. Rewards come after time. Effort.

Possible encumbrances: Being lost. Not knowing what to do when I sit down and choose to meditate. Giving up. Getting distracted. Not pursuing.

Combatting encumbrances: Tuning my mindset. It’s life or death. Urgency.

…desperation.

I am sooo weak in this, preferring to do stuff I like (MSN, BAKE! SHOP! DISTRACTIONS!!!). But it’s time to grow up, and grow up I shall. I’m going to throw aside every weight that so easily entraps me…

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us” Hebrews 12:1

From Philip Klingger

(did I mention I got in free to a pretty spiffy Worship Central by Tim Hughes? Good food for thought. Good food for action! Thanks Bryan!)

I’ve had enough of bookmarking. It’s time to grow!

it’s hard not to admire japan.

their way of eating & diet.
they have moderation and beautiful presentation.
their mentality.
their work habits. (5 S’s)
their excellence in everything.
their eye for perfection.

their control measures.
their sushi.
their quirkiness.
their class.
their attention to small things.
their efficiency.

their diminutive desserts.
…their very haute couture desserts.
and pastries.
the french-japanese connection.
their simplicity. complexity.
their fashion.
their cherry blossoms.
sushi.

such desirable traits!

all this was spurred by a beautiful picture of a beautifully packaged box of japanese pastries and gained momentum when i found their work lifestyles are so efficient. so beneficial.

right now, i’m in love with french and japanese desserts! dessert is such an art.

oh dear, i sense a french fascination coming up.

well, for those reasons, Japan is on my top ten list to travel to. And France close behind. hmm. Aren’t those two places beautiful? One filled with a rush of culture, old and new and the other filled with beeyootiful street lamps. Yes. That may just be my sole reason for going there.

Hmm WHY do I want to travel. I think I want to know the culture. Not so much see places. Hmm this travel business. I hear money is an issue. I will try to use all my baking skills to get into a tiny place there!

You know, I’m really looking forward to college sem starting again because I’ve officially become The Most Polite Person ever. I tried to evade it, but the tiara just wouldn’t come off my head! Even grumpy sessions at home END when I wake up at my designated 6.59am and I’m up and ready to fly! Day, are you ready to meet Cheerfulness embodified?!

My inner Human says “Have you no need for sleep lady??” But no. I am a woman about a mission. I have a day to conquer. But I digress. I have.. become a very polite charming customer focused person who is guilty of You Too-ing. Honest. It’s hilarious really. I’m on diplomat-mode almost automatically of late. How did I realise? It’s got so bad I’m so polite in front of my own friends I have to catch myself. When my breath escapes my lips with a “U2″ my brain catches up and it’s embarrassment from then on.

I know, I have single-handedly brought the dreaded disease upon myself.
I counted, 1, 2….3..*blush* just a few more times that I’ve done it.
No, no not Youtubing, but Youtoo-ing!

Involuntary “You Too”

When out of habit you reply to a comment with “You too”. This happens to the best of us.

Two common situations of the Involuntary “You Too”

Girl: Well happy birthday man. Have fun at Sea World tomorrow.
Guy: Thanks, you too.
**uncomfortable silence**

Parent: Drive safe and have fun.
Son: Ok you too.
**uncomfortable silence**

Hahahahaha! I read that and an uncomfortable 10 seconds myself. Then I proceeded to think about happier things like Confessions of a Shopaholic…Hugh Dancy….

Hey you know what? I realise my cheer battery correlates to my sleep. It has a shorter life span when my sleep has too. I better be off to recharge!

People like me better when I’ve got enough sleep. Really. Do you see why it is so crucial for me? DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

It’s 11.33…I’ve got around 7 hours till 6.59am.

You guys have a great night! You too!
