Last Thursday was a long day and I was quite drained out even before the end of the day. Between running from meetings, answering e-mails to knowing how to carry myself at top team meetings, I was looking forward to the end of the day which wasn't until I finished SPTC. 

It was past 7pm and I didn't want to be late for class any further, I logged of my work and was busy replying all the day's messages which I haven't had the chance to response through the day. Lo and behold, he came and walked next to me just as I was about to head down the escalator. Totally unexpected. 

That was surprise No.1 and surprise No.2 was when he tailed me back to my home making sure I'm safely home when I was like a crazy woman with my hand outside of the car telling him to turn right!

The photo supposedly to be the give away but I did not managed to even open it. 

He does make me very happy all the time.


Thank you dear for making my day!

Wow! It's 2020 already. The futuristic future that I grew up anticipating since I was a kid trying to project how 2020 will look like. Big changes in technology and how modern and digital Malaysia will look like. Well, turns out there aren't many major changes since Y2K days to 2020. I have grown older. Have a smarter handphone. A more digitalised laptop and internet speed but pretty much still the same. Well, thankfully unlike vision 2020, the vision of a new heaven and new earth at the end of the age that will be one that will come true exactly as it is prophesied by the prophets of old. A future that we can look forward to and be assured that it is as it is written. 

So what's up ahead for 2020? 

  1. A deeper relationship with the One who created the Heavens and the Earth
  2. To make known and proclaim that the King of King and Lord of Lords have come on earth and wants to be involved in the lives (be their all in all) of His creation.  
  3. To build a rock solid foundation relationship that is rooted in Christ with DDD
  4. Strengthen unity and ties with the family - immediate and extended ties.
  5. To set-up the structure for the International operations where I work 
  6. Finish Year 2 and Year 3 first half of SPTC 
  7. For the growth of the ministries that I am involved in. 


Our first date and my first trip to the movies

Meeting Yee Min and Joash a week before her big day. #doubledate #showntell

Finally able to meet up with the Sapa Geng minus Hui Lin. It was a good meet up with Ps Chee Wai, Aunty Mui Sen and Yoke Yoke. Free pork ribs from Morganfields. Yummy! #showntellpart

Meet up with Su Kuin before she flies back to Singapore. A good time of catching up.

Last day of the year! The remnants left in office. Photo taken at 5.45pm. Wheeee!!!!

Thanksgiving service 2019. Great to be counting down with friends and family. 

New Year's Day meet up with the ladies

Group Compliance 2020 - New Leadership and a new Chapter


Celebrating my favourite man's birthday! He met his relative at the museum. 


Our lunch dates together. Loving the company =)


The happening team in Group Compliance. I'm quite sad to be removed from this team but am so glad that they are always so inclusive. GFCC Rocks!

December is almost at its tail end which also signifies the end of 2019. The year has went by quite fast and so many things has happened this year. It has been a month of catching up with people from far and near but time does not permit to meet everyone. Perhaps 2020, I should take leave at the end of the year to have time to meet up with those returning from overseas, catching up with loved ones and shopping! It is the best time of the year to shop and I'm so sad that I don't have time to shop. 

In the midst of the busyness of catching up, finishing work, completing SPTC assignments, there is that need to spend that extra time with God and this has been one of the greatest challenge. When you're tired and you're mind is not with you to still commit that time with God. This sacred moments are crucial yet it has been quite a challenge to dig in but I know that the busier it gets, the need to lean in to HIM becomes greater. 

I'm going to try to do that from now and the whole of 2020. To lean in, to press in, to stay in the presence of God. O Heavenly Father, keep me forever close to You. Help me to keep my eyes on You and my heart in alignment with Yours always. 

William was back from Perth for a visit. Happy to see him

Finally met up with Sek Lee after years of planning a meet.

Tries Lemon Curd muffins for the very first time. It wasn't a complicated bake.

Madagascar - A Saturday evening treat with Sugantha, Dal, Esther, Denise, Hou and Mum. The show wasn't great but the company was.

Cousin moments. Sanjeev was around and it's good to build family ties. We did had a lot to talk to each other although we hardly meet. 

My partner in crime. I'm so glad she's no longer teach so we can hang out with each other more. Plus point of her working closeby too. 

The weekend right after 12.12 and I must say it is a good time to shop with the additional 12% on top of the store discounts. Mum and I went for a morning walk at Tasik Permaisuri followed by shopping at MyTown to The Curve and finally to One Utama. She is my best shopping partner. O well, activity partner in general. Maybe, I should do another holiday trip with her!

OA Christmas celebration. We had kids from the village who weren't part of our Saturday group that turned up. Happy that there were more than 40 over children and youth that came. So glad that mum is also part of the OA work now. 

The Children that won the sand art competition. Really nice!

Mum's Birthday cum retirement celebration cum thanksgiving went well. The aunties wanted Chinese cuisine so Chinese cuisine it was. I'm so happy that our relatives took the time to come. Love this photo with the cousins from the 6 aunt and 7 aunt family. The non Chinese speaking cousins.

Love this photo of our family. May the Lord continuously keep this family united and keep His promises that He has given to us.

Straight from mum's celebration to a short getaway to Frasers. The iconic photo which I take almost every time I'm in Frasers. Thankful for short breaks.

Saturday evening walk in the park. It has been a long long time but I'm glad we did! Not too bad a workout. Here's to many more!

The weekend before Christmas. Crazy funny faces. I'm sure we will have many more crazy, funny, days ahead.

We went looking for shoes and a visit around the mall. It doesn't take much to be happy!

Love this couple. Interesting how we've become such great friends. I really think the reason we're close is because we have God. Work friends are fun but until and unless we can share about what Christ is doing in our lives and appreciate that, it's quite hard to go any deeper. So thankful and blessed that they came down to KL and what a miracle to see Daniel all well. Praise God for His miraculous hand upon this family. 

Christmas day in Church! It is a memorable Christmas day. Spending time with Michelle and Nicole at the mamak. And happy that Sue Ann came. Hope she will start coming to FGA too. 

Christmas lunch at Strawberry fields. Meal times are a great time for fellowship

Someone came over to fetch me from work and accompany me back home on Thursday, 26th which turned out to be a night of toast nuggets and dinner together. He is my delight. May we grow to be more like Christ each day spurring each other on. 

Last Friday of the year! Great to be able to catch up with this ah moi for lunch. Interesting how our lives cross path and we've been friends since. Again, because we have Christ as a common factor. 

Esther's Birthday Celebration on the last Friday of the year. Had house Tosai with Dal just before dinner which made me too full for dinner. 

Last Thursday of the year. It was funny that we thought it was going to rain only to find out it was the Solar Eclipse. 

SPTC final class for 2019. What a joy to be able to dig deep with these peeps. Constantly challenge to know HIM more. 

Joy's 100th Birthday Celebration. The Tiah sisters came!

There is nothing like family. I love the family unit. Wen May's birthday celebration! She's 30! Which makes me 31. haha

The Third Batch of SPTCians. We're Year 2 now and halfway there. 1.5 years more to go. God help me

The song below came to mind this week. When I look back at my life, I have to say I'm loved by the Most High God. Why would He care so much for me that though I fail Him so many times, He still continues to call me? He lavishes His abundant love giving me what I do not deserve. 

A question I can never understand. What makes the Lord of the Heavenly Host stoop so low so that He can reach me, one who is insignificant? I'm truly thankful for this privilege to not only be allowed to be associated with Him but to be a part of His royal family. To be given the right to be a called a child of the Living God, placed above the angels. O may I never take for granted the depth of His love.  

Who am I, that the lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I, that the bright and morning star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart?

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again?
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me?

Not because of who I am
But because of what you've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who you are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still you hear me when I'm calling
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling
And you've told me who I am
I am yours

Celebrating a colleague's birthday. I'm thankful for the team which God has given. God never fails to bring great people to walk alongside my career journey.  

They may all be older than me but definitely younger at heart. 

With the former HSBC folks. Only one more left in HSBC. I'm thankful for my time in HSBC. Looking back, God has done the foundation work from Day 1. 

Tried out a new place, Mollagaa and the food was good. It was quite a torture only being able to eat veg & eggs but the dishes were tasty which made it bearable 

Former colleague knows my life for spicy chips and packed some for me....Yummy! I prefer the drier, non sticky ones but this is tasty too. Spice up the week! 

Guess there will be more of such lunch prep. I get this every time mum is on break and now that she's officially off, guess more to come. Soon I can have my meat added on the meal preps. Wheee.......!!

One of the most expensive veg bowl I had. Surprisingly taste wise was not too bad. I wouldn't mind eating this again. Seniman Cocoa Buddha's Bowl. Buddha sure has an expensive taste buds. Haha....  

At the rate mum is going, I think I'm doom! Tomato Egg Noodle in the morning, lunch prep and dinners all prepared... Feeling loved but not doing well to my already growing waist line and no time for hiking or exercise. ahhhhh!!!!
Can't wait to be done and over with the projects in office and to hand in my assignment on Monday. Final assignment for the year! May God help me finish 4000 words by tomorrow! Apart from finding the materials, I have not written a word. 🙈 I don't know if I'll be able to get through 2nd year much less 3rd year. O God help me get through these 3 years, plssss........

Just a few more weeks to Christmas. Ahhh.... The season of joyous celebration! 🎉 There's no white Christmas here, nor pine trees but it's D season of the year. And this year the celebration seems to be one notch up from visiting newborns, to weddings.... Lalalalaaaalaaaa...... 

Anyways... after the many weeks of what I would call a rush lunch (hardly a lunch) , I rewarded myself with a mini getaway lunch on Friday to Mid Valley since there were no lunch meetings. (dread lunch meetings 😵) Tried the new pedestrian Bridge from Abdullah Hukum and my conclusion, it's now the same amount of time taken to Mid Valley or to KLCC from office. 😁 So in slightly more than 1.5 hours, I can buy groceries, get lunch and be back in office. Pretty impressive! 

Lots of people trying out the new link bridge too. Mid Valley stationed 3 people to count the number of people using the new link bridge.

I went looking for apples but sadly they only have the small ones. Got myself nectarines + blueberries .... 😂 And even a reminder at the fruits section.


I received two reminders of 2 weddings which I have already agreed to but somehow I didn't put them in my calendar and totally forgotten all about it. 🙈 So I was quite late for the wedding today as I had promised the children I'll be coming over to teach them the song for Christmas. And anyways... it always bring me such joy to spend time with them. The welcome they give me every time I come is such a delight. 

While driving in, I saw two young boys walking out instead of walking to church. From afar they saw my car and started waving at me. I asked them why they were walking out and they said, 'saya ingat cikgu tak akan datang. Saya dah tunggu tapi tak ada orang' . I looked at him and said, 'Cikgu kan pesan pukul 10 pagi, skrang baru pukul 9.30 pagi' . He said o and smile started running with his friend back to church refusing my ride to church. And as I drove down to church there was a mini crowd. They were all waiting around the church area way before the agreed time. What a surprise! Well, we had a good time practicing for Christmas. They're fast learners. And I taught them another English song. One new English song for Christmas each year. 


And rushed to the wedding. Bump into the groom as I arrived and first thing he said, You've just arrived? Haha... 😅 Apparently the wedding ceremony just ended and I've made it in time for lunch. Well guess I made it for the most important part of the occasion.. 😂 

 



First time being served such a huge "slab" of wedding cake that we have to distribute on our own. 

And the mother is finallyyyyy retired..... What a way to end her teaching career... With a bang! Her very last day at school was at the hospital receiving the reallyyyy good news that she's cancer freee. God has been so so good. Now on to a new chapter. 😉☺️
