exam?!

It's abt 2 something over here..and I'm supposed to be preparing myself for my IELTS exam on saturday.
Ended up chatting with pey li, the girl who made me laugh so loud in front of the computer that I almost fell off my chair.
Thanks for the laughters though...you've made my day lah! You and your emo..ness..coldplay music =o)

ah...IELTS...just the thought of sitting through an exam...makes me nervous. They say, "English exam only mah..sap sap sui"
I was like.."Yeah..But..you don't understand..I seemed to score higher in my Bahasa compared to my english essays back in school". ...And there was once, my english essay almost terpesong cause I was trying to be t o o creative...hahaa
yes...grace and strength needed..

till the next entry,
here's for you, pey li,
'You are too precious for Him not to grant you your heart's desire. When the time comes, it'll be like an explosion in the sky...with fireworks!'

Loving You

I love the way when I'm out with you,
there's no agendas.
I love the adventurous you,
taking me to places that I've never been before.
I love the way you bless me,
always with the finest, the very best.
I love the way we can be pretty lay back,
having our gelatis while enjoying the sunset at the pier.
I love the way when we sit down for a chat,
I can tell you almost everything and anything.
I love the way you make me laugh,
the way we chuckle over silly stuffs.
I love the way when we're silent,
no words needed, just the company that matters.
I love the way when we put on our jogging shoes
and how you challenge me to run faster
I love the songs that you have written for me,
melts the very core of my inner heart.
I love the way I can be myself alongside with you,
together with my flaws and failures.
I love the way you fashioned my life,
the way you coloured my world.
I love the way you believe in me,
so much more than I thought I could ever be.
I love the way you love me,
simply you,
simply me..

nothing in between
just you and me.

-the secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him,
and He will show them His covenant - Psalms 25: 14

An unusual evening

An ordinary day took its turn by stepping out and walking through a different route. I decided to take a walk at the park today.
At the swing, I was reflecting upon the desires that I once had as a little girl that have come to pass.
I was also being reminded of His sufficient grace on the desires and dreams that I now hold it dearly over His promises.
Later that evening, the unexpected took place with this nanny and her grandson that I soon found myself engaged into. We had a short, interesting conversation together.

Today could have been a different story altogether if I have chosen to stay back at home.

- I stand... amazed by you, mysterious YOU

Taking this time to thank you girls, leny & steph for coming over to my work place last week. Truly overjoyed, appreciate that! and not forgetting Connor who seemed to know just what I wanted, a good laugh!! as we both sat on the floor at our church's bookshop reading through this book on jokes. I have to admit that some jokes were really hard to understand, what more for a 6 year old boy. BUT..this ex prepie of mine is one smart boy.. He ended up explaining some of the jokes to me..*embarassed* hehe..A good time spent in laughters and giggles.

amazed

The past week has been quite an exciting, fullfilling one. The weekend itself ended up so well, more than I've expected.
Saturday was the peak where my housemate and I decided that we wanted to go for the ministry outreach at church. I was so eager to do this car wash thing while my housemate wanted to be behind the coffee machine, serving coffees. But what ya know, neither of us ended up doing that. They needed people to go out to the street to ask if any would want their cars to be washed for free. Both of us took up the challenge although we were not too sure how things were going to be like. On the physical side of things, it wasn't that positive. It was a cold, cloudly early morning and it started to drizzle the minute we arrived at church. The first 20 minutes or so were rather dissapointing.
After being turned down many many times, we decided to target a different street. We stood near an open market and gave it a shot, lifting up our hopes in strength and determination. Once again, the feedbacks were negative. Despite of all that, we chose to stand firm and believe that we will not go back home empty handed. After an hour and a half or so, I managed to persuade this man for his car to be washed. I agreed to wait for him as he wanted to get some stuff from the market first. Wasn't sure if he would return to me or he would just run off with his car later... I still choose to believe and stood patiently in front of his car. As I was waiting, soaked under the rain with the last flyer in my hand, I prayed a simple prayer asking God to lead me to someone who truly needs a car wash. Found myself paying attentively to each single person who walked past me. Took me quite a while where my eyes caught glimpse of this lady across the road who seemed to be struggling with her bags of grocery. I went up to her and offered help. She smiled back and said that it wasn't necessary. Had a short conversation with her and I ended up asking her if she needed a car wash. And to my amazement, she said YES in delightment. I stood there smiling with a YES and AMEN. Directed her to our church basement to have her car washed. Came back later to the place where I was standing before.
Eventually, the man came back from the market and agreed to go with me to church. While his car was being washed, we managed to spark up a conversation. He's a Greek...*hmmm, reminded me of my boss..
It was quite an interesting conversation about his family, life...then slowly moving on to religion, jews, greek methology. At that moment, I wished I could have read more on such things to be able to speak more and challenged him on the things that I didn't quite agreed with.

Once again, another 'aha' moment strucked me on that very morning.

a twirl in translation

Was just sitting back, pondering upon this whole week's schedule.
One word, BUSY ..BUT I'm enjoying my little breaks in between with my new sony erricson phone.
The past two days were full on but fruitful.
I was sitting on the bench at the train station yesterday night at about 10ish. Soon after a minute or two, I realized that I was actually all alone in the station. Flashbacks of the memories I had back in KL came across me. Within a glint, it felt as though I was being brought back to that same exact position I was in. BUT... this time, it was different as I decided to just close my eyes and started singing in my spirit, then out aloud with the company of my mp3. The song that was being played on my mp3 was Steven Curtis Chapman's 'We Will Dance'. Although I've heard it like a milion times before, ahhaa..but it was only yesterday that those words are being put in a different context altogether as I started singing and picturing it in my head. Come to think abt it, it was a lil like Song of Songs in the book of Solomon.
Strange...but s w e e t...
and boy, when I opened my eyes, I saw this guy with his cigarette sitting opposite me. Oopss...
hahaha..back to R E A L I T Y..missy..

Oh well, I do still enjoy my train/tram rides alone.
Quite a mysterious adventure, I must say.. cause you'll never know what is around the corner.
Only when you take time to listen and open your eyes..

worlds apart

7th July 2005 (Hillsong conference)

Heart sank,
Hands moved,
Searching...
Fear arose
Uncertainty uproared
A step taken aback in s t i l l n e s s

Desperation cried out
Compassion weeped in agony
Beneath the soul of the living me

Worlds apart
Reality unfold
in the stories untold
Searching...

Attention caught
Sight drawn towards
the smile of an innocent child
As sweet as a thousand
cherry blossom flowers
As gentle as a whisper

A prayer uttered
Underlying all circumstances
A step taken forward
In trust of my Provider

Decision made.


7th July 2006

It has been amazing to watch you grow for the past one year. Even your drawing has improved!!
It's strange how we're worlds apart, yet being connected by the very One who has brought me to you.
You have been one of my inspiration, where life is worth living and fighting for.
In Him who dearly has his eyes fixed on us, I'm glad that I have made that choice.

12 days old

The moment that we've all been waiting for!!!

Can't really tell this adorable lil fellow over here looks more like mom or dad.
Seemed to have Derrick's eyes and Su Yin's mouth...
Am so so happy for the both of you
with an explosion of joy & excitement from down under...
I, shall then wait patiently for the day I arrive back home to hold him in my arms.. =)


-Timothy Chong Zhi-En, 17th June 2006

let your will be done..

If my heart has grown cold
There your love will unfold
as you open my eyes to the work of your hand
when I'm blind to my way
there your spirit will pray
as you open my eyes to the work of your hand

Oceans will part
Nations come
at the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise
Glory shown
In my life your will be done

Present suffering may pass
Lord Your mercy will last
As you open my eyes to the work of your hand
and my heart will find praise
I'll delight in your way

Jesus open my eyes to the work of Your hand..
