Living life in God's Grace

Living life according to God's Grace is to live life according to what we have been called to be.. some of us maybe called to be leaders.. some of us maybe called to be politicians.. some of us maybe called to be in the medical support team.. some of us might be called to be in the arm force.. God has a plan for everybody.. and it is all up to us to live life according to the grace given by Him..

I was amazed by what Pastor Russell shared in church today.. it wasnt about what he said.. I was at awe that God knows every single one of us.. He is there to see us through the day.. that He knew us, before we know ourselves.. He has planned our lives ahead of us.. At times.. when life just seems down.. God is up to something.. He is at the other end.. making miracles happen when you need them the most.. When you are DOWN to nothing..God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible!!

While watching no reservations with Chloe tonight, her friend sent her a video that I want to share with everyone.. it's really worth the watch.. :)

For a close fren.. on a special day.. :)

1st November 1987 called for a great celebration in heaven.. for it was the birth of one of the most fantastic girls I have ever known.. she is smart.. she is funny… she is caring.. she is enthusiastic.. she is witty.. she is fun-loving.. she is full of confidence.. she is EVERYTHING you would want in a friend.. she is Miss Fenella Ho!! :P

I have known Fen for years now.. hahaa.. to a point I cant even exactly remember how I got to to know her.. neither do I remember when we met.. hahaa.. I remember once saying that our friendship goes all the way back to the Dinaosour age.. hahha.. :P

We have known each other for sooooooo long.. but truly we only gotten to really know one another when we were in Sunway.. you were major part of my life in Sunway.. together with Cindy, Adi Gun, Hiaw, Susanti, Jimmy, Triple C, Poh Gee and many more.. I constantly think and miss each and everyone of you soooo much.. especially on birthdays!

Fen, Thanks for being such a wonderful fren all these years.. You have always been there.. through thick and thin.. through all the dramas in life.. and I’m glad to say that till today.. you are STILL there.. On this beautiful day Fen, I wanna wish you a very happy birthday… I know you’re going through a very hard time right now.. and I am very sorry.. but I want you to try have a good birthday.. You are awesome and you deserve it! May the good Lord bless you richly.. May He mend that broken heart of yours… May your life forever be filled with joy and laughter as you have filled ours with… May the Lord keep you safe and close to Him always! I miss you lots, love!!! Likewise.. I too love you to bits!!! I’ll see you VERY VERY soon! Till then.. take good care of yourself! Hugz!

All my love,
Ying.

The West Wing

I love the west wing!!! haaha.. it's VERY VERY addictive.. anyways.. I love this scene.. a conversation between sam and a republican leader... right before President Bartlet's re-election

Sam: ' What happened to loyalty?"
Republican leader: " You cant deposit it into a savings account!"

Woohooo!! Kick-ass line!! hahaha.. this is sooooo completely out of randomnes.. hahaha... anyways.. back to work now.. meeting the rest for Urban Life tonight.. hehehe.. :P

I LOVE PING'S BLOG!

I do!!! Seriously!! U guys wanna know why? hahhaa.. THIS is why!! hahaha :P

such a lovely post, no? :P

Interesting

hahaha.. I've been reading toooo much of Kenny sia's blog.. hahaa.. anyways.. Mr.Sia has posted yet another question on his blog.. this time.. he wants to know what are the 5 things that makes a guy/girl gorgeous in the eyes of the other.. Yet again.. there's another bottle of perfume out for grabs... hahaha.. I once again answered to it..

This was my answer:

1) the way he smiles at you like there's no other person in the
room but you.

2) the way he shows his concern over everything that you do.
Eg: when you're sick.. he constantly texts you to see how
you're doing.. making sure you've taken your medicine.

3) when he makes jokes that he knows arent funny but he makes
them anyways just to put a smile on your face.

4) when he would stand uo or defend just practically anyone or
anything that he believes is right.

5) when he is just being himself.. chilling with mates.. laughing
the night away.. bottom line.. when he is him.. when there's no pretense..

hahaha.. so people.. what do u guys think? agree? disagree? guys? let me know! Tis is interesting.. hahhaa.. :P

Which is right? Guy approach girl? OR Girl approach Guy? :P

Kenny sia's latest post discusses the issue of whether it is right for a girl to make the first move.. hahaha.. i find it interesting.. that's something we talk about.. we think about it.. everyone preaches about equality in this modern world.. on how men and women are all equals.. yet again.. when it comes to the matter of the heart.. is it still like tat? are things still equal?

women often their man to be there.. through thick and thin.. that he's the one who's going to protect her.. who's going to be the one she holds on to when the world collapse down on her.. basically.. he is the STRONGER party in the relationship.. but if we're equal.. why cant we be the ones who they lean on? It's as good as asking anyone about their views on househusbands...

Someone's comment on Kenny's blog was pretty interesting.. and I agree strongly in something that was in the comment, "If you see a man you have your eyes on, GO FOR HIM. Do not sit around whining and drowning in your own little shallow pool of delusional hope that someday a prince will come proposing on your door with his white horse. " That's pretty true really.. haaha.. u cant say that u expect the person to acknowledge you.. and hope that he falls head over heels in love with you.. you wont know how he is UNTIL you know who he really is.. and u cant judge without even having a conversation..

I found it interesting.. thus I commented on the blog.. the following was my comment..

Who should approach whom? Guy approach girl? OR girl approach guy? It's an awfully easy question yet it's a difficult question to answer. I'm pretty sure no one would disagree with me when I said we have all been brought to believe that the ONLY right way for this is guy approach girl.. it's something that is unspoken.. the silent rule in a relationship.. but is that how it's suppose to be? In this modern and independent world where men and women are treated as equals.. how should this be any different? Women should be able to plug up the courage and go up there and confront the guy you like.. I know.. it's easier said than done.. but yet again.. if you dont try.. how would you know? Kenny.. Not to say you're wrong when generalising women the way you did in the post.. but then again.. NOT ALL women are like tat.. I for one definitely dont turn a guy down and bitch about him.. yeah.. we talk among gf's but we dont bitch or say that u're a loser.. often than none.. I believe that women are actually flattered that a guy they know or a guy fren asks them out.. they might turn you down.. not because you're below them or that you're not goodlooking.. or for the joy of just turning a guy down.. I think it's more of them believing that it would not work out.. thus they take the initiative to turn the guy down and save themselves a heartache.. yet again.. i'm talking on my perspective.. and it is neither fair to say that all women are like tat.. But I DO strongly agree that women should take the initiative and get to know the guy they fancy... there's no need to pull any stunts whatsoever.. a mere and simple 'hello' will do... get to know him.. who knows.. someone you thought of as your prince charming might very well end up being your living nightmare.. :P hehehe.. so.. yeah.. I say.. there's nothing wrong for the girl to walk up to the guy and take the first step.. some signs we send do NOT display our objectives all that appropriately.. it can either be misinterpreted.. or disregarded.. and at that point.. there's no one else to blame but yourself. :)

I know I side tracked a lot.. hahaha.. but I thought since I was at it.. I might as well just express my views at the same time.. hehehe.. anyways.. there's a bottle of perfume to win.. hahaa.. anyone whose interested.. go visit kenny sia's blog.. www.kennysia.com

Nostalgia

I’ve always thought that I’ve gone through the worst of homesickness after surviving my first month in KL two years ago.. I was wrong.. After not seeing my parents for eight months now.. the desire to hop on the next plane home has never been as strong as these past few weeks.. I guess after being away from home for so long.. nostalgia just hit me. One never truly appreciates what one has until it is either lost or away from it.. I have never miss home this much..

I long to wake up and see my parents.. I long to have dinner with my grandpa.. I long to sit outside at the balcony with dad and chat the night away.. I miss the times when I would go for movies with mom on Sundays then later we’ll go for coffee with dad.. I miss everything that home has to offer.. I miss my family!!

People often say that a child is such a blessing in life.. while I believe that Parents are such blessings in a child’s life.. No one would be in any position they are in now if not for their parents.. Our parents have loved us from the moment they brought us into this world.. giving us what they think is the best for us… never failing to love us… They stand by us no matter what happens.. They love us regardless of who and how we are.. their best gift to us is their undying and unconditional love.. and together with that came a promise of unfailing support.. an unconditional trust..

To me..

They are the ones who hold our hands and lead us through this extraodinary journey called life.

They are the ones who help us in every possible way to make sure we achieve our goals.

They are the ones who laugh with us.. who smile because we smile..

They are the ones who try their best to comfort us.. to make things right when we cry

They are the ones who you know you can lean on for support anytime of the day

They are the ones who would never let anyone bully you

They are the ones who will forever be proud of every single little achievement in your life.

They are the ones who would give up the world just for you

To me, my parents are the best gifts that I can ever ask for..
There would be NOTHING in the world I wouldnt do for them..
Why? Because I LOVE THEM!

Summer plans

Summer is coming here in Australia.. I was looking forward to going home for a long long long break.. but now.. plans have changed.. this girl now has to stay here for summer cos she didnt do well for one of her units..

I've had a super stressed and tensed out sem.. Things weren't as smooth sailing as I hope it was.. things changed.. people changed.. but through it all.. life moved on.. this one period I got to see the people who sincerely cared for me here in Australia.. I saw who my frens were.. through it all.. I guess one just learns to grow up.. to mature and take life as it comes. To just pick up the broken pieces and live life to the fullest!! I'm looking at this summer optimistically.. I know it would be a great time.. at the same time it's gonna be lots of hard work.. :) Who knows.. this might very well be one of the best summers in my life, no? ;)

Frens who have left to go home, namely, adeline, jeff, will, jin and arnold.. it's been a great year in Melbourne with u guys around.. u guys have been awesome! Good frens.. and am looking forward to seeing u guys when u guys come back next year.. best of luck through out summer.. and enjoy the hols! Especially with all of your travelling plans! :)

I have exactly SEVEN weeks before I head back to Kuching for the Christmas break.. hehehe.. I'll be home for a month.. then coming back to Melb for the exams.. then will be heading home again for CNY.. hehehe.. peeps.. am looking forward to seeing u guys when i'm home.. hehehe.. Take good care everyone! I'll update more often.. hehehe.. wish me luck in studying.. AND househunting!! hahhaa.. God Bless!!

All my love,
Ying.

Ying.

Confusion..

Most of the times i wish i'm back in sunway.. away from all these worries all these stress.. I wish you were all here for me again.. there's sooo many things going on here that i wish i can write it all out but i know i cant and i shouldnt.. sometimes people do things without the intention to hurt another person.. but at times ask yourself this question.. are u really protecting that person?? have u ever thought about how they will react when they DO find out one day? Gosh.. all i can say is i wanna go home!! I wanna see you guys!! I miss you guys sooo much!! :(

Life's complicated

Soo many things have happened in the past two weeks.. Good things and bad things.. My close fren's dad passed away.. I cant imagine how it will feel going through that grief now.. someone so close to your heart isnt there physically anymore.. A fren once said, " you will only experience true heartbreak when your loved ones, someone like your parent passes away"..

Dear, I dont know what to say to you honestly.. I dont know how you feel and it would be a lie if i said i did.. You've always been a strong strong girl.. and I know you will pull through.. Keep your faith in the Lord strong.. you know He will guide you through.. Your dad has not gone far.. he has only gone home to his Maker.. He is now not only your dad in your life.. but he is also your guardian angel.. Stay strong dear.. for yourself, for your family, for your dad.. I'm sooo sorry for your loss dear.. I really am..

Another few more frens are going through tat point where you do not know what to do in relationships.. whether this one person is worth the wait.. whether you should let go.. whether you are making the right choice.. well, all i can say is.. decide.. make up your mind and live to your words.. it maybe difficult.. but then the hurt will go away one day.. and you know it..

Uni has been hectic these past few weeks.. with assignments and all.. but all's good besides that.. Church is great.. frens are awesome.. :) Bottom line, everything is good on my side here in melb.. It was fantastic meeting Derek last week.. it was a great catch up session.. plus awesome food as well.. :) I'm missing my family heaps.. if only my cousins could sit down together all at the same time.. that would be fabulous!! :)

Love,
Ying.

Life..

As i sit here in my room here in Melbourne this fine Thursday afternoon.. I had the sudden urge to take out all the cards that were sent to me in the past few months from my dearest family and friends.. :)

As I sat here and re-read the cards, I realised how blessed I truly am.. :) God has always blessed me with the finest things in life.. He gave me the best when He gave me the world's most caring and loving parents and family.. He blessed me abundantly when He placed all my friends especially those close to my heart ( you all know who you are ) into my life..

I guess one only learns to appreciate the love received when you're far from it.. I thank God everyday that you are all part of my life.. You guys have made this journey such a fantastic one!!! Thanks for all your support, love and affection!! I miss you guys lots!!! God Bless!!!

All my love always,
Ying.

Amazing Grace

William Wilberforce (1759-1833)

This is definitely one of the best films ever!!! Amazing Grace... It's amazing how one man's determination, his will, his perseverance, his faith.. changed the world.. William Wilberforce, possibly one of the most respected man in history, he changed the world, how?? He was the one who made sure that the Slave Trade was abolished.. To imagine a man of such a young age at that time, was sooooo determine on one issue, which affects the good of mankind.. FIFTEEN years before he saw result.. peeps, ask yourself this one question.. how much time are YOU willing to spend on a matter which you consider close to your heart but is not exactly of a direct influence to you??? William Wilberforce could not stand the issue of men being traded to other men.. when he believes that The Lord Almighty created men to be equals.. Nobody belongs to another man but to God...

I strongly suggest anybody who has yet had a chance to catch this film to go for it.. there will be no regrets what so ever.. you will not walk out of the cinema thinking u have wasted 10 dollars/ringgit.. It is in it's own way sending a message saying for as long as you're determine, you will succeed.. :) God bless!!!

Love,
Ying

~Amazing Grace~

Fact of life

Life is a journey everyone goes through.. whether life turns out to be good or bad.. personally.. i think it's the way we WANT to live life.. at times. Things do not turn out the way we want them to be.. Sometimes we'll sit down and ponder.. and ask ourselves millions of questions.. such as.. if i said yes.. what might the outcome be like??? if i did this back then.. where would i be today??? am i doing the right thing right now??? is this where i want to be??? is he/she worth the wait?? Questions arise in every single thing everyone does.. everyone will often question their decisions about all the issues that they go through.. it's not an easy feeling.. that feeling of confusion, depression.. but yet again.. life moves out no matter what the decision we make eh??? :)

Happy birthday Phil!!!

It was Phil's birthday last Fri night.. everyone was there.. we had an awesome time that night.. too bad Adeline couldnt stay for long.. ahahaha.. Anyways.. Phil.. if u're reading this.. Happy belated birthday dearie!!! May u have a blessed year ahead of u!! Had tonnes of fun last fri night!!!! :)
