christmas

Ducks... and turkeys... or chestnuts roasting on an open fire...
Gifts... and presents... or parties which never stop coming...
Elves... and reindeers... or santa spreading the 'season' round...

Is this Christmas?

Ever notice the 'christ' in the word? What is Christmas?

Christ came to the world, paying everything. This seems like a story every now and then. For it has been repeated many many times year by year. Over 2 thousand years back, can we still know this not only in our heads but in out hearts?

He came to earth... Now let Him come into our hearts...


Blessed Christmas

2008

It started well,
like a bell.
School's a pool,
which all drool.

Studies flunk,
all is junk.
Spm came,
merely a name.

Bonds were made,
some were dead.
Trust is raked
some which faked.

Love was found,
but never bound.
Hearts were hurt,
when all blurt.

At all times,
You were there.
Time was scarce,
not with You.


The end of something, marks a new beginning...

The Story

'Why??' A dead silence broke. The sadness that filled her face with a twist of anger.

She turned and walked out right in front of me. Tears clouding my eyes, still fixed on her. All that is heard is the heavy footsteps of her walking away from me and the echoes of that strong word 'why', ringing in my ear.

Clearing my watery eyes, the feeling of hatred towards myself emerged. 'Isn't this the last thing i wanted? Isn't this what i tried to avoid all these while??' Standing there, heart torn in two, thoughts streamed my clogged mind.

Fearful and sad, i turned the other way. Every step, every beat was unbearable. We went our separate ways. Can things get any better... or worse?

The memories in the ocean of thoughts were hurtful. All the good times, all the fun things and enjoyable moments doesn't seem to fit in the picture anymore. It's like a totally different chapter that i wished, was never written......

Day of Emotions (and eating)

Morning prayer was great in sequel of the wonderful jog i had with my 'special friend' that morning. xD the weather was perfect, the breeze tat swept pass us, the orchestral harmony of the insects, n the magnificent colours of the skies when the sun uncovered the darkness of night at the break of dawn tat marks the start of a splendous day - which indeed turned out to be. (for a time)

It was great being able to spend time with tat person. My life was so bz n hectic tat i forgot to do so. We talked, poured out, shared many many things n it was memorable. Will definitely wait n long for the next time we get to spend tat meaningful hour together.

Anyway, 9 people came for prayer. Tho we side tracked many times, it was fun n full of laughter with all the things tat was shared n discussed. But most important of all, we prayed earnestly for all the things n events tat r to come the following month n by the grace of God, everything WILL go on smoothly. Can't wait for all of them n it's gonna be a great december!!

To my greatest pleasure, we went to pasir puteh to eat my favourite DRY CURRY MEE!! (forgot to take pictures of it) I cant possibly resist its calling!! so i gobbled em up b4 i even get to snap a shot.. lol.. nice conversations were conferenced. One of the funny lines..


Regarding a person's words... (were harsh n straight forward)

Emily : But she doesn't talk much now.
(0.01second pause)
YiHui : So not talking means good la.

(all burst out in laughter)


ok, it doesn't sound funny here coz u need the pro, yihui to do it. According to him, 'for *things* like these, the timing is most important'.

some pictures of breakfast..

Day continued with much other events which i dun want to harp on. Tho there were some things tat came up which did not contribute to making it completely fun day, it was still a rare n a memorable day.

During the day, my sister came back from kl. Fetched her n my jaws dropped when i saw wat she was holding (tho i wud only save tat when i see my favourite foods). It was a BLACKBERRY!! crap man, n she said she got it for free coz it's company use. Just cant believe it man.. tat's so unfair!!

a

Then we had dinner at night, n since she rarely comes back coz of her ever demanding job, we opened a bottle of wine which compliments the steak. The brand was Wolf Blass Yellow Label Cabernet Sauvignon, never really heard of it but the taste was AWESOME!! At first sip, the thick taste n melts your tongue. Then as the wine sets in your mouth, the thick taste fades followed by a smooth texture n flows gently down your throat. Tho it wud be perfect if it was a little sweeter, but we enjoyed it. Me, my sister and my mom, Dad hates drinking (weird eh). No la, he cant in his condition. It was a great dinner - drinking session associated with stories n experiences tat we had. Missed these times.. n we all went to bed red faced. haha.

What a memorable day...

bleary, burned out n exhausted... but still alive

studying studying studying,
this torment seems to be endless,
when will u leave me thy friendly foe,
to make a path or break n laugh?



haha, juz some random words out of mind at this point. tho there's many ways to look at it. suddenly flashed me that poetry n literature ain't tat bad after all. mayb i'll equip these with a melody n probably write a song n get famous! haha. fat hopes!! lol. i'm serious bout the song tho. XD

oh ya, happy deepavali to everyone! tho this shud be the highlight of today, i find it rather ordinary writing posts centered on common major events unless they r meaningful n memorable ones. visited 2 good friend's house of mind. ate like a pig, love the food n the cookies!! tho i was looking forward to a certain dessert called maisurpark (which i sadly din get to eat this time), still, nothing beats fresh, home stewed, tender, succulent MUTTON CURRY!! ain't this all so monotonous n familiar? lol. love the time of fellowship despite the reducing time factor of spm.

ok, let's get back to earth n reality. loads goin tru my head. thoughts n worries run tru my vein. is this the right thing to do? or there's something much better out there which God has planned? i'm keeping the optimistic door open, with the hope of seeing light. but wat if darkness creeps out of tat door? then, should we continue to remain our stand?

yesterday's history n tomorrow's a mystery,
but today is a gift, tat's y it is called present.
(taken from a wise turtle)

today, this very time, now! is a gift from God. we enjoy gifts n presents. y not enjoy the better gift tat we've been blessed with? even when it's sad, angry n full of problems?

God turns evil n uses them for good. like it or not, we've all been included in His wonderful epic story. He's the ultimate story teller who plots out everything. from the first to the last chapter, great things r told n has happened. yet the smallest details r not forgotten. tat's how wonderful yet mystical God is. All in God's wonderful storybook of LIFE...

time is running out!!

I have only 28 more days exactly b4 i face the most crucial exam in my life at this point. hell i'm not prepared for most of the subjects n i dun think there's anymore time to waste.. grades in trials have been extremely disappointing n life seems like a total mess.

I have to pick myself up n juz focus on spm right now..






Thankfully,
God WILL give me solutions to my problems, for HE sees the bigger picture!!
God WILL help me tru these trials, for HE wants us to be stronger!!
God WILL show me the way, for HE knows what r the right choices in life!!






GOD was, is n will always be there for us because HE loves us!!

The Start of a Scrumptious Adventure

Everybody's having their own blogs. seems pretty cool. some say that blogs r where they can express themselves, some just have it for social reasons. well, this wud be my chance to keep a memo of all the events n activities that go round my life. but most importantly, serving it's main purpose.
