Hello, April

and so, one of my favorite month has arrived! i must say, i DO NOT appreciate the speed in which time is flying by. so please slow down and smell the roses would ya? i need a little more time to breathe and enjoy my life thankyouverymuch.

in an effort to fully utilize my April so it doesn't fly by unproductively, i've come up with a to-do list. so here's to praying that my lazy butt can stick to it and by the end of this month i would be able to proudly declare i manage to complete the list. *fingers crossed*

#1 to do quiet time CONSISTENTLY!

#2 exercise exercise exercise

#3 start on my revision (2 months left! gahhhh the horror!)

#4 to talk less and observe more

#5 tidy up my closet

#6 meet new people

#7 to make time for catch-ups and meet-ups with friends (ACCA is NOT the entirety of my life!)

#8 read more

#9 to NOT get myself injured / sick

a bad start

2013 has not been good to me so far. been falling sick / getting injured non stop since the start of the year.

January  ⇢   red eye (got it from camp)

               ⇢ vomit + fever (prolly due to my mindless eating spree on a college day-off. guilty. :p)

February  ⇢  sprained right ankle while walking down the stairs (wasn't looking where i was going. careless!) 

March  ⇢  right eye cornea abrasion (another careless incident where i hit my specs sideways while opening the door hence the nose thingy went into my eye. ouchh!)

just can't believe how many hours i've spent on bed just because of these incidents. especially the most recent one. couldn't do anything but let my eyes rest. believe me it's no fun being a one-eyed jack. so here's to hoping that my bad luck has finally run out and only good things will happen from now on. :)

简简单单的美

世界上最美的10件事：

#1  初吻
#2  看日出
#3  与很在乎的那个人牵手
#4  躺在床上听屋外的雨声
#5  每次看到那个人心里七上八下的感觉
#6  深夜不眠与室友聊天
#7  一个信任的眼神
#8  睡觉的时候  太阳照在身上
#9  一觉醒来发现还可以睡多几个小时
#10  冬天里暖和的被窝

今天听radio时  有这么一个slogan让我深思了一下
对  就只是那么一下  白羊座的人不喜欢复杂的事 :p

‘ 2月29号  这多出来的24小时  你要怎么过？’



还有偶尔看到朋友的fb status    觉得很有意思
‘what if God was one of us? just a stranger on the bus trying to make his way home.’


停下脚步想一想
让我有恍然大悟的感觉

discover

i got so used to revolving my world around 'you'. being to focus on 'you', that i've lost focus on everything else happening around me. i thought i'd be lonely without 'you'. but i'm glad to discover that, i'm not. whenever i feel beaten up by the ongoings of life, there's someone out there lending me some warmth and care. it could be just a text asking where have i been or a hello on msn or even spams on my facebook wall just to capture my attention. without 'you', i discovered how loved i am. i guess this is His way of showing me the right direction i should follow. aligning my life bit by bit according to His master plan. using people to touch and heal me. to help me learn the reason i'm here.

so thank you my friends, for your care and friendship. thank 'you' for this deep discovery. and thank You, big guy up there, for correcting my path and always being on the look out for me. i know i can trust You. :)

天气

最近的天气真是跟我很合拍
心情闷闷的时候
天就会变得灰灰的  然后下起雨来
心情稍微好一点的时候
太阳就出来了

感觉好棒
上天是在眷顾我的  :)

an encounter with Him

been studying in ucsi library for the past week or so. love the spot facing the window. clear of all distractions other than a few birds flying past every while and then. however, the big bright sun always chooses to shine so brightly when i'm motivated to study. it was so bright that i was starting to have a headache. and so i prayed for clouds and determination to study. and He answered. it was such a great feeling knowing that there's someone i could count on. don't think your most trusted friends could send clouds to your aid, can they? hah!

it may sound silly to some. why on earth would i pray for such minor things. a help out during sunday school class made me realize that by handing to him not only the big things but the minor ones as well shows that we've faith that he'll see us through.

God is so awesome! :)

drive #1

1st time i drove alone yesterday. sis was stuck in tasik selatan station for too long. so she decided to take bus to leisure mall. and the smart alex called and asked me to fetch her from there. when i drive with my parents around, the road tends to be smooth and clear. BUT, i encounter so many obstacles when it's just a short journey from leisure mall to my house yesterday. 

#1 road repair outside bukit segar. it was right on my lane!

#2 stupid lorry double parked on the road to leisure mall. right on my lane as well. -.-

#3 mini roundabout right in front of leisure mall fitness centre was under renovation. couldn't make a U-turn.

#4 made a wrong turning on the way back and so had to U-turn.

things always tend to happen to me. -.-

p/s: after picking up sis, the lorry mentioned as per #2 miraculously disappeared. -.-

poor guy :(

while driving to college the other day, saw this OKU motorcyclist driver going against the flow of traffic in the opposite direction. a lorry was right in front of him and because of the huge compartment beside his motorcycle he was finding difficulty to bypass the lorry. i could clearly see his legs shaking while trying maneuver his bike to one side. thank goodness everyone was being really considerate and patient despite the fact that the guy was totally in the wrong lane to begin with. if a driver was to honk at him, i'm afraid he might topple over his bike and cause an even greater scene. so thumbs up to patient malaysian drivers! :)

最近好像习惯了自己一个人的感觉
以前还蛮害怕孤单  现在反而习惯了
可以说是我成长了吗 :p

自己一个人  不太需要对别人交代
也不必顾忌太多
以为这样会很孤单  很闷
但反而轻松自在
开始能了解她的意思

random facts #3

had a funny encounter on the way home today. i was on the bus. paid the driver in notes and he owed me 50cents change. he asked me to wait for the next passenger to pay him. then a negro came along and paid his fare. the driver gave me 40cents from the negro and i see him rummaging in his pocket for the last 10cent. he couldn't find any and so he said 'could you borrow me 10cents?' 'you don't have 10cents? well, then it's okay.' 'really? thank you!:D' he told his friend about it and i think i heard something like 'do you have 10cents?' maybe he was planning to pay me back. funny!

i was feeling quite good about the whole thing and so i'm blogging about this now. happy to show foreigners that we malaysians are helpful and loving people. *ahhem* i meant me! xD

sweet gesture (:

found this on the living room table when i got home. now i know what is it she wanted to pass to me. thank you my dear friends! makes me feel happy after a brain-draining day. (:

our date is set. see you guys soon!

freebies!

 

mcd giving out free breakfast for a minimum purchase of rm5. you need to have a voucher of course. can be found in newspapers, mcd part time workers in bus stations (that's how i got mine) or you can just print it from mcd's facebook page.

went to connought outlet on tuesday morning. mcbreakfast ends at 11am. there was already a crowd, and that particular outlet had the courtesy of closing 1 of their counters. -.- and the workers were so SLOW! taking their own sweet time in taking orders/picking up beverages/lining it up on the tray etc. in the end i didn't get my free breakfast. pissed off! it was partially my fault too. i started lining up around 10.30am. :p

tried my luck again on wednesday morning. mcd outlet opposite of taman midah is so much better! despite a queue and 1 counter closed, their service is quite fast. went home with 4 free breakfasts (redeemed 2 vouchers). i'm one satisfied happy customer. (: 

i'm contented. :)

we humans are so insignificant and weak under Nature's wrath. can only pray that God relief their pain and give them strength to carry on in life.

let's all pray together. (:

happy rabbit year! :D

reunion dinner was the same old steamboat. it's becoming the chin family tradition. -.- mum proposed to have kfc for a change this year. *prices of everything rockets sky high during cny, but kfc prices are still the same - she said*  but our mr chin did not approve of it so, steamboat it is!

wishing everyone a blessed new year with good health, wealth, love and kindness for the next year. and also for me, to pass all my papers! praying hard for a smooth pass from december10 sitting. my heart can't take any more failures. :D

god bless everyone!
