Fishy Week!

Its almost been a month of holidays now in Laos.. XP the confirmed date to go back is still yet to be known.. lol!

These days, I'm guessing that my mum came up with a diet plan for the family.. We had fish 3 days in a row now.. =P I've no idea where would that lead us to but it certainly caused me not to eat as much anymore.. Ahaha!

Other than that, I definately agree that God works and speaks to us in the most weirdest of ways! haha!

Today, I just grab a drink from the fridge, well it wasn't really a nice drink to start with.. lol! Its this soya bean with black sesame.. XD

As I first drink it, it tastes unpleasant, with that weird black sesame taste.. lol!

But as I continued drinking, I got used to the taste, and the unpleasant taste was replaced with this taste that allows me to finish the whole drink.. XP

At that moment, God spoke to me, this is exactly how work is like.. In the beginning, it tastes unpleasant, horrible and downright troublesome! XP But as you continue to persevere, not only will you get used to it, but you'll be blessed! =D

God doesn't let any of His servants who works go unrewarded.. =)

And I could testify this because I myself too went through this.. Till I came to a point where I miss putting my hands to work and serving God! lol.. Thats my passion and thats all I want to do with my life, to serve God greatly!


All praise and honour be to the God of ages! =D

God's wonderful presence!

Just moments ago, this wonderful thing happened! lol! So gotta blog about it right away! But before that, earlier today, I was talking with my mum and she started lecturing me.. lol! I just listened to her and I could feel the Holy Spirit prompting me to continue to listen to her and not fight back..

Which I always used to do by the way.. XP So this time I listened.. And I believe that its just God's way of speaking slowly into her heart because we got into the topic of my well being and the nights before, I prayed that God would get my parent's attention and that they would come to know Jesus! and I told her the story of why Jesus is so real to me!

I told her about how God loves us so much and I did asked my mum compared to last time and now, is there any difference.. I was so happy and delighted when my mum said that I've changed so much and my parents are so proud of their kids! I was filled with joy!

Praise God! God does change lives! Hallelujah! =D

And God made me realized just how people's perspective towards Jesus is today.. and I just continue to feel sad knowing that they're missing so much on what Jesus could do!

And later on, God just spoke to me saying that He is proud and that He will blessed me.. Indeed Jesus did say in a scripture that whoever testifies about Him before man, He will testify about that person before God (Does anyone know what scripture it is from? lol! XP)

Hearing that itself from God is one big joy to me! =D But no matter what, I know Jesus knows whats best! =D

..::Lights off again?!::..

Today, the moment I woke up, my sister and brother were sitting on the sofa, so I knew something was wrong..

Cuz normally they would be using the com or something.. XP
What my sister said later explained everything...

BLACKOUT

lol! and in the morning summore! And it continued on till 4pm today! I was so bored.. I walked around, talked to God, prayed that the electricity will be restored, meditated..

And then finally, I sat down.. and just worship God with a song.. It

was forevermore by PlanetShakers.. XP

And lo and behold, as I continued to sing, the electricity came back on again! Hahaha!
Woohoo! Praise God!!!

Somebody turned off the lights! =.="..

Woohoo! Its settled! I'm coming back home! XP In July but the only thing is that my parents are not sure about the date yet.. lol!


But on the other hand, Taylor's rejected me... T-T"... I wasn't eligible yet.. I would have to wait till next year! Yikes.. That means...


Another year in Laos till June 09 for me.. O_O"!! But the good news is that I'll be right on time for college together with you guys! haha!


But always gotta remember that God has plans! [Jeremiah 29:11-13] Gotta look at it by God's perspective and not my own! And I have just the idea what God wants me to do here in Laos for this coming year.. Hehehe.. =]


Another thing I just realized today as I was doing my devotion (in the toilet.. lol! what? I had to go! and I just need to do my devotion too! XP) that when God speaks to me or gives me a vision, it always has connection with the Bible!

For example, God gave me this vision of myself standing in the middle of a desert, and suddenly there was a path that appeared and at the sides were trees that bear fruits and lush green grasses that grows!

[Do take note that fruit trees don't grow in the desert.. lol!]

And one day, quite long after God gave me that vision, as I was reading some scriptures from the Bible, this scripture appeared!
[Isaiah 32:15] {gotta read it to find out dudes.. XP}

Amazing huh? =D Praise God!

July here I come! excited to come back home! Till then, God Bless! Missing you guys back home!

Going back home!

Posting time! XP Well.. As some of you might have heard, I'm coming home! XP Well its not been decided yet lar..

Which makes it quite a nervous and worrying situation because I was really looking forward to go back there and another thing is that holidays here...

(well in terms of going shopping and lepak lepak, jalan jalan cari makan...)

I'll sum it up with two amazing words..

Suck-s

But hey, whatever the situation is, I'm giving it all to God.. Because out of everything, what isn't in His hands? Hehe.. He knows whats best, and He will provide!

These holidays, I would normally wake up, as late as I want (Woohoo!) and pray.. I would spend some time with God and meditate on a scripture and memorize it for that day!

So far its going great! Meditating is absolutely a great tool! haha! And I'm also trying to get myself to speak to God and making it my habit!

These days here in Laos theres nothing to do! All I would do is play games or go online.. But I really feel that I want to do so much more.. Serve God greatly and really put myself serving in Church like I used to.. Haha!

Thats one of the things I miss about Malaysia.. Being busy with people and assignments and serving God each day.. thats so awesome.. Especially with a group of amazing friends to support and to serve alongside with you! Haha!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I remembered when I first step down from the airplane at KLIA when I came back during the summer last year!

Man, I was so happy and excited to be home that I wanted to kiss the floor! lol! Seriously! XP

Its been such a long time since I've been away from home that I really miss it back there..

But hey, God has placed me here for a reason and I'm gonna live up for it!

I'm GONNA M.A.D in this nation and its never gonna be the same again!

I'M GONNA M.A.D!!

The question is, Are YOU?!?!

School's Out!

Yeah! School's out for the summer! Actually it was a week ago.. I was too lazy to update.. XP

I really much wanted to go for MAD camp this year.. But I wasn't allowed by my parents to go.. Even if my friends paid everything for me! T-T

Seriously! They collected RM600 that could cover the whole flight cost! And I'm just really blessed to have such awesome friends! Thank You guys! =D

But well, as much as I'm looking forward to MAD camp but couldn't go for it, during this week, I was also busy sending e-mails to a few colleges back home.

One to Taylor's...

Another to Segi's...

And finally to Monash (who's school logo is abit cacated because I was trying to enlarge it. XP)

But however, only Taylor's replied.. Maybe those colleges organized a meeting and throw lots to see which student should enter which college.. XP

I'm still awaiting their reply though, and nervous about whats the reply going to be.. Taylor's replied saying that they'll send my request to the respected course to see whether they would accept me or not.. *gulps*

If all else fails, I'll blame Laos.. LOL

And I started to get the habit of switching to CNN all the time when I watch TV.. And I even find some interesting news on it! XP Maybe its sign to show that I'm growing old.. =.="...

Orr.... Maybe theres just nothing else to watch in Laos.. Lol

God Bless you people! You guys @ MAD camp, I'll be praying for you!
