First two days of my spring break

I need to move out from dorm during spring break...
I m blessed enough to stay with Ps.juan's family again.. =D
I really enjoys staying with them...
Because i can hang out with the children, have malaysian food, and the most important part is talking with this two person.. it's really refreshing to talk to them...u will learnt or gain something from the conversation.. i really enjoy the conversation that we had...

We help them to clean up the kitchen in the first day we came in, after few hours of washing and cleaning, the kitchen is clean.... haha... they are so busy with the conference that oi lin do not have time to clean the dishes.. and this is the time that we can offer our little help...
at night, we playing card game with kids..... we played heart attack, uno, and memory game...
i m glad the kids enjoyed it..and the kids invited me to sleep together with them..
haha..they like ppl to sleep with them... with this opportunity, i get to know them better coz we actually had a short time of asking and anwering the question before we got to sleep, it's a fun time..

The next day we spend the whole afternoon hanging out with mira, went to chinese restoran for lunch..the portion of their dishes is very big...

 

  

this is the food that we order, did the portion impress u? =D

after that, we went to to the bubble tea again...er..the price is kind of like expensive if u convert to ringgit...not worth it to drink it here , once a while is ok, hehe~

 

pictures in the shop..

after that we went to a lake..

it is a very nice place to go...

i felt at peace at there

there's so long that i didnt find a place that can find the kind of peace

when the weather turn warm, is a good place to sit down and reflect your day, life..

is a nice place to read book or even do your devotion here...

 

  

 we spent a long while in the lake side, taking those funny pictures.. =D

 (right now the connection is low, it takes long time to upload the pictures..will get it done when it's fast )

and now i m excited for the chicago trip.. pray that the weather will be good and all of us have fun there...

 

i didnt look good in ths pictures, but i like this pic bcs of is so random, and my laughter is come from the heart..

How often do you really laugh from your bottom of your heart?

when is your last time to laugh like this?

what make you laugh till like this?

Yuhooohhh!! Is spring break!!

Spring break! Spring break! 
Spring break starting today till next sun...
Before today, i m busy with exam and assign..
and when all the exam finished, oh, i m released...
Because of finished all the exam and is before spring break, chailian, yen and i went to Walmart...
This is the first time that we shop in the Walmart without worrying about time
Last few time, we visited in a rush...
This time we really take our time to shop and look things around....
Actually Walmart is a nice place to shop, can get cheap thing over here...
You can get $1 shirt, pants over here...and the quality not bad...
we spent around 3 hours and 30 mins in walmart...

 

below are some random pictures that we took while waiting bus to go back...

  

the bottles that we holding, cute right? haha...

 

 

tada~here are the bottle...

 

can u guess what is it in our mouth?

 

  

  

  

After back from Walmart, we go to our room to eat and watch a movie: "vampire assistant"..

I love PPS stream...hahah...

The highlight of the day is...we attended a birthday party in the midnight...12 o'clock in the midnight..

I was surprise that people over here celebrate their birthday in the midnight...

well, when u hear that celebrating in the midnight, u would think that is having party..

just to let u know that the party in US is different from the party in M'sia..

In M'sia we have food,gather around, talk and play some game(maybe)..

Over here their party is wine, dance, loud music and craziness...

Before decided to attend the party, i already knew what kind of party they will have..

But, because of the birthday guy is my senior who help me a lot before and after i came to US...

thus, i have to attend..and i also want to experience how is it like the party over here...

While, after i went into the house who held the party, i told myself, i m not going to come to this kind of place again, unless i really really really need to..

The house is dark, just have few light bulb to light the house, the music is loud..

and everyone in the house is holding a cup with wine....

and they dance in the so called" dance floor"...

I felt that i  not belong to this "world", the party situation, coz i m not drinking any drink, dance or even eat the cake...

I just stand there and watched the ppl in the house...is like observing ppl..

haha..is kind of fun, coz i can see a lot of things...

when observing the ppl in the house, i was thinking why most of the godly ppl do not go to club? what will God think when He see this situation?

As in club can be one of the lifestyle, it is not wrong, everybody is relaxing themselves and enjoying themselve in the party. They didn't steal, kill, it is not a sin.. and why godly ppl don't like clubing?

This was my question when i first reach there..

And i think God showed me the answer after few minutes..

When the night get darker, more people came in, and that is when the party really start...

That atmosphere in the house starting to heat up...

They dance, they drink...

That time, i was like "ah-ha, it is the reason why they don't like to clubing."

i duno why they wan to dance in tht way, but that's how ppl will have one night stand...

i duno what is so good about wine, but that's how ppl get drunk...

Suddenly i know the answer...that's not wrong to drink, but not drunk..drunk will bring you disaster...

dancing is not wrong also, but please dance in a proper way...

All of this are human's action that make it to become wrong...

From that, i learnt that u really need God's hand when u go to that place and knowing your purpose of going that place...do not cross the border line....

It was a good experience to me..

Now, i know the American's life and more understand of myself that i m not suitable to go that kind of place...

And now is another new season...

Our Spring sister....welcome you back ..i m waiting you for so long... =D

I m ready for the spring break!  going to Chicago next week!

Yuhooh~~ spring break here i come!

Mountain of God

Thought that I was all alone

Broken and afraid
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me


And I didn’t even know
That I had lost my way
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me


‘Til You opened up my eyes
I never knew
That I couldn’t ever make it
Without You


Even though the journey’s long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who’s gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I’ve been through


Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God


As I travel on the road
That You have lead me down
You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me
I have need for nothing more
Oh, now that I have found
That You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me


I confess from time to time
I lose my way
But You are always there
To bring me back again


Sometimes I think of where it is I’ve come from
And the things I’ve left behind
But of all I’ve had, what I possessed
Nothing can quite compare
With what’s in front of me
With what’s in front of me

-found this song few days ago, love this song, coz it is what i m going through right now..
-love the part of starting from" even though the journey is long, road is hard, He will help me cary on;..that i must i go through the valley..."
-"i must go through the valley", it reminds me of being the follower of Christ, you will face the tough time at least once in your life time..
-"to stand upon the mountian of God", it encourage me that after you go through the valley, victory will be on your side, your life will be full of God blessings..
-can u imagine how it is feel like when you come up from a valley and stand in the mountian?
-i can imagine that..i can imagine the peace i will have when i stand upon the mountain of God, the air which is fresh, the view which is awesome...full of God presence.. i can feel that...

- sadly, i didn't dare to step into the valley, i hold my steps.......
-i do not have enough faith to step into the valley, scare that i will never come out, scare that i will not survive

Faith is what i need the most now, God's word and presence and promisses is what i need to carry on in my shoulder everyday...

Is a very good song to hear when you're in tough situation..it encourage you that you 'are not alone..

He is always be with you.

It's time to update

Warm

God sees you as you truly are, - a holy child of light:I see you strong and whole. I see you blessed and prospered. I see you courageous and confident. I see you capable and successful. I see you free from all limitations or bondage of any kind. I see you as the spiritually perfect being you truly are

This warm my heart for the rest of my day...

Yet, i feel sorry that He sees me as a perfect person but i feel i m inadequate, timid and incapable... 

I feel heavy when i saw the words...

I m not that perfect as He sees me...
 

However, He love me as who i m...

He love not just my strengths, he love my weaknesses as well...

He love every inch of me, He care every single area of my life....

Happy are those who do not need to live a life of pleasing the world...

Happy are those who who have a Father who love him/her unconditionally...

Happy are those who have a Father who love him/her no matter what they'd done...

All the person need to do is to open his/her heart, receive Him into their live...

He love you as you who are...

He love you more than anything...

He care you every seconds, minutes, hours...

He cares everything in your life...

Happy m i that i have Christ..

A very different Chinese New Year

How do i celebrate Chinese New Year in US?
Wat do i expect from a country who do not know wat Chinese New Year is about?
Over here, do not have the atmosphere of CNY....
it's my first time celebrating CNY without my family, ang pau, CNY cookies, new clothes,shoes...


Back to the topic, how i celebrate my CNY?
Ans is in the New Year eve(malaysia's time) i slept over in a Malay friends house...because of dance practice for the cultural night next week...
At their house, i being able to skype my family...see and talk to all my family members....that is the only highlight of the night...

funny thing was JC had his hairstyle...botak....when i saw i burst out laughing...suddenly become primary student..haha...anyway, he is as handsome as usual...
I did show JC and JS to my friends...and i don't forget to promote them. as usual( if you know me well, that's wat i always do when talk about my bro..hehe)... haha....

Motive

This few days when i did my daily devotion...
a lot of Words of giving( including care for others), blessing came up to me...
One thing that strike me the most is the motive of you doing everything... such as giving....

When you donate your money what is your motive behind it?
When you do this kind of action, what is is your motive?
When u dress up nicely today, what is your motive?
Why you want to get high marks in your exam?
Why you want to buy this branded stuff?
Why? Why?Why?
Have u ever think of that?

Some ppl donate money to the poor is because they wan the whole society know that they are good people, they want the popularity, respect...
Some ppl wan to dress up nicely because they want to get praises from people, they want to be the center of attention of ppl...

When i think about motive behind my every thoughts, action....
I was surprise that mostly my thoughts and action is to please myself and people around me...n there is only some portion of pleasing God...
It's really a big red sign for me....
I have to examine my motive in everything i do, i think of...
I have to put right of my motive....
Not pleasing myself, anybody in this world, but God....
He the Creator of the world, see the heart of man not their appearance...

When you give to the poor, think of your motive first, it's i wan to appear to be good people or i do it for GOD?

What you treasure the most, is where your heart is
As what you think in your heart, so you are.




     Once grace each child of God can show is giving from a willing heart;

                               Yet if we wait till riches grow,

                        It well may be we will never start.-D.De Haan

God look at the heart, not the hand;

the giver, not the gift.
