Muar Prayer House

God really touches the heart of those He loves.
Went to Muar the day after I came back from Hong Kong...
It was kinda relaxing and peaceful there...eat, sleep, pray, eat, sleep, pray.
Yesterday when we were praying, I tried to settle down my heart to listen to God.
God is creative! Haha. He showed me a picture of a Karung Guni's trolley and a picture of a path with some vintage looking flowers side by side.
In my mind I was like thinking what is God trying to tell me??
Karung Guni trolley??
Then nobody could figure it out except one cell sister. She said God is trying to say that you have to give away your old stuff? Because Karung guni collects old stuff...so maybe God is trying to tell me or her to surrender the old stuff to God?
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. -Ephesians 4:22-24. (NIV)
Then everybody took turns to pray for one another...
When my pastor and my cell sister prayed for me, I can't explain the feeling but I know I teared.
Then my pastor told me that God really loves me so so much.
Really blessed to receive so much love and blessings from God and them! (:
To Florence, when Karung guni came into her mind, she thought of the sound: "bi bo bi bo"...in other words, she felt that the Lord is trying to tell me that I have a choice to surrender all my past to Him or to keep it.
Then when another sister prayed for me, I felt really touched. She felt a lot of pain in me, and that she saw this light from God. That God wants to fill me with His light that is made with gold...to fill every brittle bones in me, and that no matter what happens, with God, I am indestructible. and I will be filled with compassion, to see other people's need which nobody can see...like Mother Teresa. I really wanna claim all those prayers that they've prayed for me. Really Thank GOD!!!!!! =D

101 epic moments in a 4-days trip to HK.

Day 1- SHOCK to the MAX can?!?
The building I stayed in looked like the setting of a horror movie! =x haha.
Then not only that! When my friend and I got into the room, OMG! the toilet is small till I'm speechless...basically the whole room is small. Just 2 beds side by side with a lil' gap of 30 cm for us to walk.
Then the toilet is beside our room door. The toilet is small till I bathe standing beside the toilet bowl (right) and next to me (left) is the wall already. Really superrrr small space.
Another epic moment was that I bathe until halfway, the water hose fell out. @.@ haha...
Btws, the heater has to be turned on 10 minutes before you shower to enjoy the warm water...
But overall 65 bucks for 2 people per night is considered reasonable given the facilities: TV, Air-Con, Fan, toothbrush, toothpaste, soap (which looks superrrr small and square like spongebob), toilet paper. Haha.
Day 2- Woke up lateeeeee!!! =x
I would wake up every time I hear that crazy alarm of mine. But apparently, my friend & I overslept for 3 hours because we didn't hear the alarm RINGGGGGG. So I was wondering what's wrong...Then I looked at the time I set, 8 PM! ROFL! XD No wonder the alarm didn't ring because the time I set was 8 pm & NOT 8am! Funny to the max! Haha!
Then after our trip, we decided to go to Kowloon tong so we took a bus there. But...we got down at a stop which is in the middle of nowhere. So diaos...then in the end we walked like 15-20 mins and we finally got to our destination! THANK GOD! =D
Day 3- Went to the famous Fuk Kee to have our breakfast! (:
OMGosh, the porridge is superrrrrr nice!!!!!! =D Really porridge! Not the SG style where you can see the rice  in its haven't-burst-into-starch form. Then they served us chinese tea. At first I thought I was suppose to rinse my chopsticks and spoon. But I didn't see any bowl so I just drank the chinese tea. Haha. Taste really gooooood! (: can kill the fishy smell after I ate the bowl of fish porridge...
Then after I came home, my brother told me I'm suppose to rinse my utensils in it. So lols, next time need to look at people...
Day 4- Day back home...I think overall I enjoyed myself during the trip. But the country is filled with a lot of foreigners so in a way similar to SG. The only thing I wanna say here is that I think the people there can be more courteous. (:

Hello Kitty or Hong Kong?

Wahhhhhhh!
Countdown! (: Hahaha.
Busy as a beeeeeeeee during these few weeks of my lovely & long-awaited holiday! (:
Driving - left TP test
Holiday - 2/3 more days to Hong Kong Free & Easy trip with Joanne, then after that bonding with cell group (Muar Prayer House)
F1 - 14 more days. (Y)
Birthday - 19 more days. Bahahahaha.
Free Time - Visiting hospice & bringing joy to the elderly (:
Technically speaking I'm going there to volunteer, to help them do simple chores, but in one way, I'm actually learning from them. Many many priceless things that I learn from them. The way I react, the way they face life positively, the way they think, and the relationships I see from them while interacting with people...
Felt so cheated. It was HKD290 originally. Then they increased it to HKD370. T.T
Wanna get this when I go to HK!!! !!! =D Hehehe. Can't wait, can't wait!! (=

Perseverance is the KEY to Success

Since young, I've told myself that I wanna learn driving when I grow up. (:
Then the chance came this year sometime in March-April...I took up driving, and gosh, it's harder than I had expected. Not fun at all.
But I was still looking forward to lessons and learning new things.
However, as time goes by and as I start to learn more and more new stuff, I find it super difficult because I didn't get my basics right...I find it difficult to find the 'biting point' and thus, somehow or rather it affected my progress.
At one point, I find it superrrrrr tough and I really wanted to convert to auto or considered giving up. But driving is different because it is more expensive and it's not something which I don't like and I can give up. It would be a waste of time to just stop there. So, I continued...
Now I'm having my holidays, in order to get my driving license before the start of my attachment, I went for driving lessons almost everyday.
The thing with learning driving in a school is that you can learn it fast. But your instructors are not fixed unless you choose to fix them. Throughout this week and last week, I had lessons with mainly 3 new faces. I learn different things and they gave me tips to help me solve the problem which I had encountered...the 'biting point' problem. However, I feel that I wasn't a good student. My reaction is slow and maybe the way I react is a bit confusing...so this particular instructor was superrrrrr angry with me. There are some things which the instructors never correct me or that I didn't do it correctly...so the instructor got super pek chek at me he started scolding me. Sigh. At that point of time, I was so discouraged. Like after so many lessons, I did so many wrong things and driving feels like the most difficult thing I've done...more difficult than learning violin.
I really couldn't take it I just broke down. Driving is the thing I DREAD THE MOST!!!!!! Having to drag my feet to driving lessons and hoping not to get that instructor.
But it was that night when I broke down, I went to God. He showed me the way and things begin to change. (: or rather, it's the way I look at things changed.
The next day (Tuesday) I got a good instructor. (: But on Wed & Thurs, I got the instructor I dislike! (faints). In my mind I was thinking there must be a reason why this happen...so I trusted God's plan and went for the lessons and guess what? It turned out well apparently! (: Though I made a lot of mistakes, the instructor still pass me and I'm able to book TP test date. Hahaha.
Finally! Anws, I really hope to pass my TP test once and for all.



Basically, I've learn 2 things from this incident.
1. God's ways are higher than my ways. What seemed like disaster to me might not seem like disaster for God! (:
2. It doesn't matter how slow you go, as long as you don't stop, you'll reach your destination one day!
I'm prepared for the worst...I thought I will need 32 lessons to get my license. But I took like 26 lessons to complete the course. Hehe.  Though on average it's 22 lessons. (Y)
