The month of October has been quite a month. Lots of stuff from one big thing to another but well I have to say that I do quite enjoy moving from one task to another as it moves me out of the 'routine-ness' of life and that somehow gives me satisfaction.

It has been a while since I actually wrote a post so here are some pictures that I took over the month.

Levina and me at YA CAMP 2013 - Undivided

Me and my roomies with the strong winds

We had a mini hen's lunch for Yim Wah who tied the knot in October.

Hawaii theme night at Golden Palm Tree Sepang - Risk Offsite 2013

Our team building theme where we won for the marshmallow and spaghetti tower building competition.

A view from my room at Golden Palm Tree at about 6.45am on Saturday morning. I was blessed with a single room at Canary Villa =)

A group of us chilling out during the Risk Offsite.

Purple day in office to bid Karen farewell (well this was not taken in October but since I just received this photo so well here it goes) Well, will write more once I return from Sibu. Looking forward to the end of the year as I will be taking leave on and off. :) Starting with mission trip this weekend and family trip to Medan and the list goes on!!! =)

The YA Camp was great. Great speakers and lots of new friends. One thing lacking was sleep but enjoyed the time at camp as it was a good break away from the busyness of city life and yes we even manage to have our very own Run for the Nation in the 'heavens'. Lovely lovely weather! Praying for the nation is not a burden especially knowing that the citizens will be blessed when the nation is blessed =)










Farewell 


Anyway I am going to miss Bevon! Haahaa one thing I learned is that not all blacks are from Africa. =) He is more American than any of us Asians. Grateful for the fellowship and yes the fun times shared throughout his time here in Malaysia. Though have to say that I have been quite bad at being a good host.... haahaaa.... Bro have an awesome time back in Antigua and happy entering a new phase in life!!!






Birthday and Event

I am just so grateful for the events that God has placed in my life. (the good and the bad)

Am truly blessed for the time out over the past weekend that has given me the time to think, reflect and listen.  


New Living Translation (©2007)
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns

Managed to meet up with quite a few people during the month. Yesterday, my colleagues and I had a hang out session at Karen's home to eat good food and karoke. A rather interesting session but it was nice hanging out with the not so young people. Hahaaa they will pounce on me each time I say that. Well, I better say while I still can because I'll be not so young soon in a few years time.

The iKids teachers with Aunty Ai Siang after the Pilgrim's Journey Session with the children. It is always all smiles after running around for 2 hours +.

Having a good farewell with Hazzan. Well he did said something that was rather true. We can see each other week after week but we hardly catch up with each other. If only we weren't so busy. That is the biggest problem with the Asian culture. Everything is fast fast fast and the worse thing is you can't help but be part of this great big whirlpool that keeps moving. Anyway Hazzan thanks for your time here in Malaysia. We will surely miss the prayer warrior.

FGA USJ Young Adults Camp. With Ps Guy and his wife. Thanks for your sharing. Totally encouraged me that I have a Big God and I can be Bold in Him. Thanks Ps Guy for your obedience and now setting an example to us the younger generation to run this race with excellence.

Last but not least. Thanks che for always being there. I love camps when you are around. :P Haahaa miss having camps together with you. Oh and it is always a plus point to have a good friend around. Thanks Ms.Lim for coming along. Now that you know my sis, makes hanging out much easier. :P

Oh and I thank the Lord for the promotion. Yes I grumble and complaint and the list goes on but God my life is in Your hands. Even though I cannot see the rainbow now, I know I'll see it after the storm. =) Thanks for being patient with me.

4 September 2011 : - ICC my now spiritual family in Serdang 1st Anniversary.

My companions at the anniversary. Bright, roving Z Generation leaders.

Risk It! U-Turn. What a title to give to a national conference!

The time at the conference will be one that I treasure. Its quite a weird experience for me because I have been for church camps, CF camps and other conferences. Just when you think God will act in the same way, He does not. No, this was not a conference with huge bangs or drastic display of God's hand but one where God comes in the stillness of it all. This was a conference where I learned to be still and know that He is God. I really appreciated the SIP (Selah in progress, quiet time, worship) moments in the conference. It gave me ample of reflecting and re-thinking moments.

I kept a whole load of things and thought that perhaps the conference will give me answers to the questions and decision I have to make. However, the answer didn't come the way I expect it to be. Through the quiet moments is where the little gems were found. I had to make decisions even before the conference started but HE confirmed it.

Apart from that, the good points were the people. Met so many that I can't even remember most of their names. Met up with old friends from previous FES meetings and church friends too. Camps are usually the places where I usually lose weight but this is one place where we had buffet everyday and it was good. (Guess I need not explain further)

Anyway, the conference has been a good way of ending my life as a student and moving on to the marketplace. With just one day of rest in between. Tomorrow starts a new beginning and what better way to close one chapter and move on to another by not only with the people of God but also with the Lord Himself.

Indeed, I have much to thank Him for over the last few weeks. It has been an uncertain adventure but one thing is certain is not about me its about God. For me the words which hit hard to the core is WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Really sometimes I tend to boss God around.

I am an idealist and I do hope that at the end after many years I will be able to be like Annette and say that I am still an idealist because He is a God of Hope.

The race does not stop here. The learning does not end. A bumpy journey is guaranteed. Its just the tip of the ice berg I know but I have an Awesome God!

This certainly isn't what I imagined life after graduation to be. I have always been so sure about what to do next (or at least pretty much) but right now I just don't know what to apply for. I really wonder why I studied accounting in the first place. The past few days I decided to browse through the newspapers looking for potential jobs and all I achieved is a huge sense of being totally lost. I mean I have been trained for the past 4-5 years in Accounts and being trained in analysing these figures but the thing I dread most is figures.

I am enjoying home but I know that this is certainly not the way things should go. I will have to face reality and start my journey for don't know how many years in the workforce. At least for now I am not facing the pressure to get any jobs as I only plan to start work in January (which isn't really helping me to be motivated).

Honestly I don't like the idea of not knowing where to go next or what to do next. Well, not as though people like uncertainty. I have convo to look forward this Saturday, it would be good to meet up with friends after such a long time. Really looking forward to NC partly because its been quite a while since I actually attended camp and it would be a good time out to meet old college friends and also spend time just concentrating on activities which is already all planned out and all I need to do is go with the flow.

Somehow I know that God likes to put uncertainty and that this is also part of His purpose and plans. Last Sunday, sitting in the midst of a total different environment (attended a church in Penang) the message seems to be the same but this time it seems to hit hard at the core. Do I really trust Him? How come I can't seem to let go of these choices and trust Him? How come it seems so difficult to hold on to Him? I know He has provided through circumstances in which I cannot imagine. Has He failed me? Nopes not once. He always comes through each time but why do I still fear of what is to come. Sometimes I can't understand myself either.

Alrights, moving on! The weekend away was good. Its nice just being away from everything and having no distraction with assignments or work and everyone is together on a holiday. Penang food has deteriorated. I think Taiping's food taste much better now however not as good as those days. Disappointing really!! They should maintai the food quality!~ Anyway the whole trip as we have been to Penang like so often its more like a food tour rather than a 'look see' tour. Nevertheless I enjoy the trip!

Well do hope that I would be able to get back to the court and play some good floorball and also get my stamina back so that I can start going for runs as well :) Hopefully....

What a week it has been. Well, going for the Malaysian Accounting Students Convention (MASC) has been such an experience for me. My friends didn't want to come along as this would mean they would have to skip class so I decided to go alone. No regrets.

What is it like?

First day was rather an eye opener to me. The place (UM Third College) has made me appreciate TARC very much more. The rooms are dirty and dusty. Talk about TARC Hostel food, its 100% times better. Seriously!

Apart from the physical appearance from the place, the hospitality shown by the committee members must be commended. The help me to my room. They were a helpful bunch.

Ok! As everyone else came in groups. (LARGE Groups) I was left with no one. However, managed to get to know a few people from different University during our ice breaker sessions and during our long exodus to the hostel and to our venues.

Second day was pretty much the same. Enjoyed the company of my roommate. Though she skipped most of the sessions. She found it too boring so she and her friends enjoyed the sessions by having their own visit KL tour.

By the time it reached the third day. I feel as though I have been here studying here and this is my home. Pretty much got use to everything and was already feeling quite comfortable with the environment. Got use to the dirty place and everything else.

Final day talks were not appropriate for me but I must say the company was just wonderful. From walking alone the first day I was talking all the way to the lecture hall and all the way back. Just an awesome experience.

Overall the talks were quite good. Love the third day talks. I think the line up of speakers good. I was put in Company 14 - Robot Technology. We named our own company and we won the BEST Company award and First Price for Treasure Hunt.

I am glad I decided to step out of my comfort zone. Many of the guys were shocked that I went alone as they say girls usually will only go if they have companions. Quite true but then again, if we follow the crowd we will never get to our destination.

In a sea of 250 people and being the sole TARCian mixing with the local Uni people was quite a challenge. Had to speak mandarin to the Chinese and also Bahasa to the Malays.

Don't complain about the TARCians not being able to speak English. The class of AMA speaks much more English then I have in the past 4 days. =) They speak better English too. Well done to the TARCians. Oh yeah! Not to forget be proud of our qualifications!! =) Its D best!

The organizing committee of MASC did an excellent job! Very hospitable bunch of people. It was a good first time for them and me. =)
