Dancing in the rain

With anxiety in the air And tension everywhere On the wings of the wind The storm roared in As the storm raged around They bowed their heads down As they began to pray They heard Him say: "Dance-dance in the rain-have no fear Dance-dance in the rain-I am here Dance-dance in the rain-this won’t last Dance-dance in the rain-the storm will pass Dance-dance in the rain-I’ll see you through Dance-dance in the rain-I’ll take care of you." Every life it seems Has storms that it brings When lightening streaks the sky And thunder drums from up high When your storm moves in Just trust in Him In the storms roar Take shelter in the Lord

The city of sails

I haven't posted ANYTHING about my life here at New Zealand. I shall now.. =) Well.. it's really really hot at the moment! (the weather's very temperamental.. this morning was really cold & I wore three layers of clothing!) I was told that if u leave a slice of bread out in the sun for a whole day, it'll get toasted! I'm staying with my three cousins - Jon, Sam & Ken. So what have I been up to lately? *mischievous grin* I'm always washing the plates (haha. I guess that's because I'm only good at doing that =P) There's a playground right behind my cousins' home so I go there quite often with my sister & the three boys.. and guess what we do? We sit on the swings & climb trees! Heheh. Turning into quite a monkey in New Zealand. tsks tsks.. see what the boys are doing to us. Haha! (it's a good thing none of them have multiply. teehee) It's great to be reunited with them after 2 long years.. Jon's exactl...

The bigger picture

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they  were meant to be there...to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson  or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them, and you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. These people might only be with you for a short period of time, but they serve a purpose. And when that purpose is done, they fly away from our lives, suddenly, painfuly, slowly or gradually. Some stay. Whoever they may be, remember them. Remember what they were to you. Remember the lesson learned, the happiness and love , the tears and pain. Sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential, strength, will power or endurance. God has a purpose for everything. N...

leaving Malaysia

i haven't blogged for ages.. or as Mdm Sandy would put it, "donkey years"! hahah =P hmm, speaking about Pn Sandy, the 4 of us still haven't received our editor's cert yet! =) I'm packing for NZ at the moment.. there's so much to bring!! (I wish I could bring my whole house.. if only a hurricane would come & instead of blowing my house to The Land of Oz.. it'll carry it to New Zealand! heheh.. I wish!) I wouldn't feel the least bit surprised if my baggage turns out to be overweight!! Air Asia charges quite a fair bit for excess luggage, so I've to be very selective with what I bring. Hmm.. maybe I'll haul my huge luggage over my weighing scale to find out if it is overweight =P Things have been pretty hard for me lately. Sigh.. I'm so emotionally attached to the people in Kch, not to mention 4 four-legged animals that (to my parents horror) I treat like a close kin.. I really really pray that I will not have to give them a...

Fetters of life

By Rick Warren. There's a great story in Acts 16 where Paul and Silas, two of the first Christians, are thrown in prison. In a dark, dank jail at midnight they decide to start thanking God. They start singing and praising God - and God does a miracle. He sends an earthquake that rattles all the jail doors loose. The jailer says, "I'm going to kill myself because all the prisoners are loose now." Paul says, "No, we're all here." The jailer says, "What kind of prisoners are you?" "Christians," Paul says. So the jailer takes Paul and Silas to his home and Paul tells them about Christ. That night the jailer's whole family accepts the Lord. Paul and Silas's prison doors were unlocked when they began to praise and thank God. What prison are you in? An emotional prison? A financial prison? A relational prison? Are you locked up with  fear, worry and uncertainty ? Are you locked up with guilt ? Are you locked up with d...

Red and yellow, black and white..

..we are precious in His sight! Teehee. I'm in love! I'm in love with a boy at my church but i've no idea what his name is. Hmm let me give u a brief description of him, he has a boyish hair-cut, an ADORABLE smile & he's vertically challenged! The first time I met him, hmmm.. let's see what did I do? :D I was captivated by his boyish looks & his cute grin! Sigh.. so I gave in... I couldn't suppress that longing in me to play with him. SO, guess what I ended up doing? I ended up playing peek-a-boo with him in church! I guess, mmm, I was influenced by ice age: There's a scene where the saber-tooth tiger played a game with the human baby.. he covered his eyes with his hand, er I mean paw, n peeked thru his fingers & kept on going "Where's the baby?" When the baby wasn't hiding, he'd shout, "There he is!" Of course, I played the silent version of peek-a-boo. Well, sort of. Both the boy & I enjoyed it. How...
