Got to thank God for all that he has blessed me with.

1) The night before my flight, i found out that i had no accommodation available for my friend and i when we arrive at heathrow airport.( i reached london on 25th but could only get into my college on 29) We called up so many different ppl for accommodationbs but there was none. so we said to ourselves we'll just see how when we get there..come to worst...stay in a b and b..
so we prepared for the worst.. and my friend finally gave up calling..told god it was in his hands...and the next moment somebody calls offering a place where we could stay for as long as we like.

2) Our flight tickets got upgraded to business class for the first half of the transit flight..it was amazing ..we felt so spoilt and definitely blessed by god. the legs space. the food. the service...wow.

3)A stranger over the shop counter gave me a sim card for free cause he had an extra.  mine wouldnt work when i tried to reload it.so he just gave a sim card to me..

4) My roommate is awesome..somebody i could get along with..i feel that what i'm going through here especially with the ppl i meet are the answers of all your prayers for i did meet good friends...that i could not only have fun and go crazy with but i could be real with them and talk about the lectures. talk about life with. they are great.. most of the ppl here are from england so it great that they actually take an effort to make me feel as home as possible..

5) i caught a flew in my first week. but they took good care of me..kept me warm..and entertained. hahah..it wasnt that bad lah..

so yeah.. god is good.. and yeah. i've learnt that god does favour and bless those who seek him regardless of the opinions of others..with all their heart..

loves.

This is so weird.

I'm finally looking forward to Avril L's concert.

My cousin Sarah Foo is like her ultimate fan. She totally loves Avril,her music and her style
( i like her style cause she's authentic but that doesnt mean i go ga-ga ).

I guess we all go through that phase of loving something so much that we choose to include/involve them in our whole lives.
 We stop our days and give our time to be apart of whatever we're crazee bout.
Sarah has even talked about wanting Avril as a middle name. I'm not sure whether or not she'll change her mind about that though...eeks
I actually searched out the meaning of this name. what i found out. it's french just like mine. It means April. hmmm..

But back to the point. I'm surprised at how i'm starting to get excited about it eventhough most of the ppl around me are laughing at the fact that i'm going. Maybe it's cause i realised that I would rockin' out with little Sarah and that to me is something priceless..I think she's so cool for going all out about Avril not caring bout what others say and all.

Aunthenticity
Since I brought up the word. I think there is always something to learn from the people around you. Even Avril. I mean i dont know much about her but just by what i see on the surface.

 I'm reminded of how in life we got to be authentic. Real and sincere to the people around us and also ourselves. Authentic in our faith and not leeching of a friend's or family member's faith.

Lord, i meant what i said. I dont want to make this a habit. So help me break it. Thanks for loving me the same all the time.
Love you.

Avril here I come!! ""Let me hear you say hey hey hey!""

Sleep is precious. Rest brings alertness, takes away emoe-ness, and helps us be better unsnappy friends. I found somethings else worth giving it up for.  Conversations. especially with ppl who know that God is in love with them.


She's one of my favourites.
My Friend..
Gender : Female
Origin : Hebrew

“why don’t you blog about all your stories, people would be so encouraged”

well then, this story is for you .

Dearest You,

Dae asked me one of those days, probably realising that i mention your name quite a bit..." Since when were you close to her? Hmmm...yah, you definitely somebody older to talk to. Everyone needs somebody older."  she probably doesn't remember this but i do...most vividly.

Why?

Cause for the longest time i talked to God bout not having someone older to talk to. Someone with a different yet similar perspective. Someone who loved God so much that her very speech would be flooded on how good He was without forgetting to be relevant.somebody who would scold me if i'd ever screw up instead of just judging me. there was no one..

HAHA....TIBA-TIBA. MY ITUNES IS PLAYING MICHELLE.....crazeee!

You have earned a place in my friend bubble. cause you're all that and more. .you're the person i look up to. My inspiration. for the longest time i didnt let go off certain things cause i guess i was afraid of letting of go of a person i looked up, i could easily do it now cause i realised that my friends..you especially, had taken over that place in my life. i didnt need that person to feel like taken care of.  ( wah...if  you still dont know who i'm talking bout then you are so blur ok...but knowing you you should know lah right) 

 
In Proverbs 27:17 ,
  Iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the face of his friend..

That's you. you make me sharp..i hope i do the same for you.

Love you. Psycho-friend!

father, now what? why can't they see?

Everyday our bodies are naturally inclined to long for rest in the midst of our oh so busy schedules.
We attempt to do so much in the little time that we have.
We make decisions about what matters most.
Inevitably,we end up in moments where we have to decide on what is worth more than our rest...that in which would  give us more drive and energy in return rather than just the rejuvenation of our physical bodies.

I was and still am sleep deprived.

Listen:

A couple of weeks back i decided to start watching the best tv series on earth. Yes. GREYS ANATOMY SEASON 4. There were 17 episodes all together. My days were filled with all sorts of activities. therefore the only time i had to indulge in what gave me so much joy...hehe...was in the wee hours of the night. SO I STARTED....watching episode after episode..even though i had only planned on max. 2 episodes at a time. i watched about 5 to 6 episodes at a time.

When i reached the 4th ep in a row, it hit me.

GA, wasn't just entertaining. i felt i could i relate to it. Feel what the characters were feeling. Understand why they said certain things. and most definitely also learn a thing or two from Meredith's logic of the episode. It was a lot to take in. every episode affected me.  the emotions that run through my veins bothered me for they were fluctuating up and down. It was too much thought to process..but I wanted more.

i realised what it meant to be hungry. To want to know, to see, to understand it all even though you might not reach your target. I knew then what i was to "chase" something...making time for it when there's not much time to begin with.

So i spoke to God about it, telling him that i wanted to be hungry like this for His word. Cause there is so much LIFE in it.  I dont want to have the excuse of it being too much too comprehend and therefore i stop. No!  i want to read His word and then have to force myself to sleep. instead of the everyday norm which is falling asleep in my attempt of reading with
enthusiasm.

why? Cause i want to know my God that I call my Lord. Know his his Voice.. most of all. i want The Word of God to take it's place in my heart that whatever he says may take place in mine. CAUSE once you get the LIFE that Jesus Has brought in the world which was dead..how can you run from it.

God answered my prayer. He helped get closer to Him.you're so selfless lord.

As i spread my Love for GA which still burns bright :-).... i'm going to tell YOU bout how fantastic the word of God is if we would only seek to understand it.

So if you haven't been reading or maybe have lost your excitement bout this Word. I DARE YOU! Hunger on but don't complain that you have gastric. Go eat.

Get sleep deprived!
