Eternity Awaits ...

... wearing the fragnance of eternity, for man and woman, demands change - it does not sit easily alongside the shabby clothes of our old nature. Living for eternity brings new ambitions and a new way of life.


Soon, I'll be heading up north to a place called Waikanae for TSCF National Student Conference which lasts for six days, yup.

Why would I, at the very first place, made up my mind of going for it??

Well, all and all is because I felt a strong calling deep inside my heart, by any means pushing me to sign up for it, yup.


Dear Heavenly Father,
Lord, I thank you
for You search me, when I was lost;
for You know my name, before even I was borned;
for You have made me my way, a great plan towards a new born me;

Lord, I need you
to heal my vulnerableness,
to break my heart for what breaks Yours,
to be able to love and to be loved..

Lord, I love you
help me to stand firm at Your feet;
help me to shine for being a child of Yours;
help me to see things unseen, hear things unheard;

Lord Jesus, I bow down, and I surrender, so take it, take over the control of my life,
then lead me, guide me, use me, redeem me, if this is the way You want me to live my life,
I tell You, I will just live it =)





The next day right after coming back from the conference, I'll be heading down south to Christchurch and Dunedin, what a busy girl I'll be.

Friend told me that it's been snowing in Dunedin for days. So I'm kinda looking forward to seeing and touching the real white snow. But I hope myself won't get frozen over there haha.

Okies is time to stop now. Gotta prepare myself for the trips. New places new people for two whole weeks. Gonna be great and awesome I suppose. See you guys back then.

So looooong!! ^_^

T.E.A.R.S.

I always smile. Or laugh maybe. Seems more correct =)

Nevertheless, I shed tears easily, too.

No. 1 - church

No. 2 - sports

No. 3 - real life stories

( Ok.. What are you looking forward to?? Huh.. of course I don't have photo of me shedding tears lol )

Thierry Henry is leaving English Premier League (Arsenal) for Spanish Premier League (Barcelona).

He's not really my favourite soccer player, but he is the one to whom I pay my respect.

His ability to score one-on-ones. His pace. His contribution in assists. Soul of Arsenal.

Last saw him in NBA Final supporting his buddy. Well. Things change as time does.

Tim Duncan, the San Antonio Spurs' leader, just got his fourth championship =)

The stoic and selfless foundation. One of the best center forward.

Once the champion is in hand, Tony Parker got the MVP, whole team was cheering..

guess what was he doing?

He was found at one corner, hugging his little daughter, sharing the moment with his wife.

When the MVP was given away to other people, he was the one who clapped the hardest.

Not keen to be under limelight. Help his team to find their roles. Be happy for others' achievement.

He's the man!!

On the other hand, Real Madrid won their champion.

And the picture above gained my attention.

After spending four years in a place not belonged to him, after experiencing all the ups and downs, he finally walked away with pride.

I never know how to see this man, David Beckham.

But if put aside all those glamour, he was a good captain, is a legendary player, a loving father, of course =)

An English thinker once wrote, “If you sow your seeds with faith and you care for them with perseverance, it's only a question of time until you reap a harvest of rewards.”
How right it is, isn't it?

R.A.D.I.A.N.T.

Dear Rodrigo,

Hello. Or should I say Oi instead =) I've seen your message/comment in my post entitled "The Man with A Plan". Obrigado, aprecie, contente de ouvir-se de você!!

Well, I am always proud to be able to speak or at least understand many languages, but definitely not this time. My friends and I, in addition we know more than ten languages in total, however none of us understand Portuguese. Haha.

Luckily we managed to find out that your message was written in Portuguese, an achievement I reckon, for us =P So I thank you for your words, and if I am not mistaken, you were asking me to go see your blog which was about personalized T-shirt, do I get you right??

Até mais. ^_^

Feel in mood for some stories?? Huh?? Don't care coz I'll still carry on lol

Three years back, when I was still in Form Five, I was emceeing a singing competition. Still remember vividly how lack of confidence I was, not because of my ability & capability of emceeing such a big event, I'd done that many times, but purely because of my appearance and my look.

I found myself ugly in my dress, with my glasses on, and etc, not as shiny as other fellows. Felt like holding back and not willing to stand under the stage lights. No one noticed my fear but my dad & mum, they caught me, and the only thing that they told me was :

"Gal, let your face shines with radiant for your talent and your performance, not your look, ok.."

So I took a deep breath, tried my very best not to bother myself with how did I look, and I went up to stage, and I talked as I was supposed to, and that evening turned out to be a great success. Teachers were impressed, parents were proud, and I realized one thing :

"Beauty = confidence = talent = smile = humble =)"

Since that day, I learn to be humble myself in every of my undertakings, and God blesses me with a lot more, more than words can tell.

**

Nearly two years back, I was a lucky girl who got the sponsorship and the opportunity to study in college. My simple small world had suddenly become a massive complicated world. That's what people say :

"With every blessing there comes trials."

Still remember my friend and I were walking along the highway near IKANO, by all chance we missed all buses, so we ended up talking. She was low at that time, so I kept on talking and talking, tried to cheer her up. Finally she opened her mouth :

"Min Yu, do u know that ur smile is shiny, it warms people's heart."

I stunned for seconds, and I couldn't remember what happened next, or I don't wanna remember lol Now whenever I recall it, I'll not just smile, laugh non-stop instead. Haha.

**

After some time, it was V's Days, my friends and I gathered for a dinner, where all the guys brought their own girls, and me and my friend shared one guy. Hohoho. Dinner was nice I reckoned, but that's not the main point, the highlight of the day was after the dinner, when my friend and I bid bye bye to the rest and went for a walk.

Now use your imagination please. Two girls, one taller (me), one apparently shorter (my friend). I'd got roses in my hand, and she'd got her handbag. Not sure whether we were holding hands or not, couldn't really remember, but one thing for sure was that we were close. Hmm.. Get it so far?

One reminder, it was V's Day, in other words, everything came into your sight was in pairs. Well, we were in pair too, but of the same sex, that's the problem. When we enjoyed ourselves taking photos, people were staring at us with some kinda look, one band the guitarist even came near us and played to us =P

We din't really care about those people, just found it funny, who would want to spoil such a romantic atmosphere lol Finally we got into a cab, the driver was a chinese uncle, I think. So I was talking and talking, happily and excited, till I felt that my friend was staring at me :

"Min Yu, you looked so different so beautiful today la, wearing contact lense, and your smile."

Hmm.. I don't think I'll need to explain what went on next. Haha.

**

So.... Why would I suddenly be so in mood to share about all these?! Hmm.... It is because all those things have been taking place here in Wellington. The more often it happens, the more I think back the past, the more I link everything together, the more I can't help laughing.

Hahaha. Actually I seldom wear my contact lense for two reasons, firstly, I am not supposed to wear it in the lab, and I am a science student; secondly, I just don't feel like wearing it, coz I am far too lazy. Being the real me, being the comfortable me, that's my priority.

"Min Yu ar, you are big girl lo, why don't you just take off your glasses?? Do you know that how lucky you are for having naturally curled eyelashes? Wei ar, listen to me la.."

"Ohh.. I know I know.. I see how la.."

"Min Yu ar, how come you only dress up for this and that, u ar........... aiyo.......... ahh........... ok I give up.."

"Ohh.. What do you expect me to wear for lab then.. See how la.."

Hey girl, it's not that I don't wanna do, it's just I don't do it for the sake of doing. All girls like to dress up, like you, so do I, but don't ever forget the purpose behind =)

**

Sorry to say that I don't have a happy ending for my "stories".

That girl, she brings me happiness, and lots of sufferings, she makes me see her bright future, and how dark it turns out to be.

Now, she's gone, and I miss her very very much, she'll never know.

Hey you, he said that I was angel, I tell you what, I don't wanna be anyone's angel. But I thank you, for causing me to appreciate my smile.

**

Let the darkness be taken over, let His light shine upon the earth;
There comes hope; there comes love;
Keep smiling. Smile at trials. Smiles at problems. Never cease.
In Jesus Christ name. Amen.
=)

What a wonderful day!!

First of all, have a look at this :

" just to say hello to u. i've read ur 'voice from the bottom of my heart', how sweet u are, a really wonderful girl. that's why i like u so much until i can't spell it. but do u know me? "

So.... I got this message in my inbox. What do you reckon?? Huh?? To be honest, the first thing that came across my mind was that "I've got secret admirer!!" lol Ok.... I bet you think the same as me, too.

I got terrified, and then I found out this :

" i'm a counselor frm SMK Triang. God bless u, bye. take care! " Hahaha. I laughed non-stop seeing this message. What a cute and funny teacher am I having?! Hahaha. Thanks God for it was my teacher's masterpiece =P

**

Well, I'd got my first trimester coming to its end, and all my examinations done, a few weeks/days ago. Hurrayyyy!!

Still remember that after my last lecture, everyone was on their feet giving the thunderous applause to the lecturer. And I, as sentimental as usual, felt so touched and thankful in my heart.

Time flies, without my realize. But on the other hand, knowledge gained, wisdom harvested. One ending signifies the beginning of a whole new page. Ok, is sentimental-ing enough.

My textbook - had them fed into my little brain in just one trimester lol

My "blood & sweat" - see those piles of papers in the fails, they're excluding my lecture notes, all are my handwork lol

My last paper was Chemistry, the easiest for most of the students, yet the most insecure one for myself. Anyway, it's all over now, yoooo!!

Once I stepped into my room, with my body tired, and my mind exhausted, I'd got this weird feeling that IT IS HERE!! Nah. I told myself that my sixth sense wouldn't be that accurate, so I just din't bother myself with the feeling that IT IS HERE.

Suddenly a text came in, I looked at its content, and yes, I was terrified again!! " Hey min yu, IT IS HERE, enjoy treasuring it ya =) ". Without any hesitation, I ran out of my room for it. Guess what?! IT IS THERE!!

There it is. Har?! U thought what =P

Ginseng hair shampoo. Milk body shampoo. Baby oils. Lip moisturizers. Clothes. What not =P

To please me up the most - my old-torn out Chinese dictionary, my best friend since primary school.

Thank you dad and mum!! Thank you bros for the CD!!

Thank you Lord =)

PAPA

So.... This is the man - My papa!!

Was supposed to make this post during Father's Day. Was gonna blog a long one since I'd got a lot to say. But as time goes by, things change, people change, so does my little mind.

So.... Here is everything and the only thing that Im gonna tell - to make the long short!!

Thank you for "protecting" me. Thank you for "controlling" me. Thank you for "advising" me. Thank you for "warning" me. If there wasn't because of you, I'll definitely be ruined.

Life isn't just black and white, and Im standing right in the grey region. In this grey area, no one can tell what's right and what's wrong. Or maybe there's truth, it's just people don't get things right.

I see through my eyes young people having their days spent in night clubs. Drinking, dancing, getting high, going wild, what not. I see how girls not appreciating themselves and taking the wrong steps.

Most of the time Im thinking, I could be one of them, desperately looking for love, yet through the wrong way the wrong person, or I could be worse, if you weren't there for me, and mum, and bros.

Do not worry about me. Your daughter is grown up. She starts seeing the world in her own way. She starts playing her role with the wisdom gifted to her. She's blessed by her heavenly father. One day one man will take over your "burden" and walk the journey with her. So do not worry about her =)

Happy belated Father's Day. To my papa and everyone's dad!!

The Man with A Plan

So.......

I was like that tortoise, hiding myself in my little secret world, for the past whole week.

I had my mind locked, my heart closed, my face shadowed, my body rested, for many many days.

No smiles. No tears. Numb. Vulnerable. Miserable.


But.......

This time is different, as compared to those times that I ever had before, totally not the same anymore.

Though the waves of life seem to fall upon me endlessly, one followed by another and anothers, THEY were not beated to ground anymore.

My hope. My passion. My dream. My vision. THEY all survived!!


I spend my days feeding myself with cell biology, biotechnology, concept of chemistry, etc.. The more I get to know, the more I realize that, I SERVE THE MAN WITH A PLAN =)

I spend my nights looking at the starry sky, the hills, the harbour, the buildings, the streets, etc.. The more I get to see, the more I am convinced that, I SERVE THE MAN WITH A PLAN =)


I feel like a wretch most of the time. I don't know how to love and I don't know how to be loved. Feel myself ugly too. For merely display God's characteristics in life. And the list goes on.

Nevertheless, the Lord's love never fail to shower me, His light never cease to shine upon me. Falling down, get hurt, stand up. Through hardships I learn to live by faith & in love, to humble myself as well.


By the way, my examination is round at the corner. Gonna have my first paper on 12th June, yeap that's right. Conference + Christchurch + Dunedin are waiting for me ^_^

All the best to all my friends in their exams!! Go go go!! But then how come I only can feel cold and hungry at the moment.. Tak bersemangat pun.. Haha =)

Okies is enough blogging. See ya. Nites.
