I left my keys in my room!!!!
This morning I woke up in a very good mood. My mood started to change when I did a terrible mistake! The mistake is very simple. It's something that some of you have done before. I LEFT MY KEYS IN MY ROOM AND I LOCKED MY ROOM!!!! ARRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Yeah that's what spoiled my mood this morning! Anyway, I didn't bother for the whole day because I had a "speech" to do today but then the lecturer postponed it to next week. My day was not that bad actually. I went for my psychology class which I learned a new thing about Lifespan Development. It's pretty an interesting topic with a lot of questions I must say.
When I came back home, I had to face the reality that I left my key in my room. I was struggling to open the door with all sorts of methods but in vain. I had to call for the locksmith to open the door for me. He came 20mins after and he did it in less than 1min. If you want to penetrate a house, can call for a locksmith. haha! No joking! Later the police will catch you!!! So well that's all... the locksmith just went home and my room is opened without any scratch but I only had to pay him RM50!!! No choice, my whole life is in my room!!

Happy new year!
Yes Happy new year! I know that I'm quite late to wish you a happy new year but after being to Singapore and JB, life has been quite busy for me over here in KL. After the Singapore trip, we rushed back to KL as we had class on the same day, unfortunately we had to miss some morning classes but in the afternoon we had our first class. Since the first day of school, there's a lot to do. I think that it's the most busiest sem but indeed it's very challenging. There will be an Easter Rally that we, Christian Fellowship (CF), is busy preparing now. I'll give you all more details later.
Just to tell you that I'm doing fine. I'm no longer doing foundation course. I finished it all and now I'm officially a degree student in Psychology. The course is much interesting than i ever thought of. It's not for psychopath. It's not about what you all think: to psycho ppl. Not at all. If I have more time, I'll tell you later. Now I'm kind of quite in a rush.
So see you all later! God bless! :)

December happenings!
Well December has been pretty a busy month for me. My latest post was about Cristine's birthday. As you all can read, it has been a fun and original birthday! In this post I'll tell you all that I've been doing in the whole of December.
1st of all, there was my final exams. I was busy preparing for 2weeks. Everyday I was studying like crazy from morning till late at night (well from morning to morning i must say). I want to praise God because in the previous final exams I was sick and this time I wasn't sick at all! Most of the time I was eating at home because I didn't feel like eating outside. So either I cook myself or just buy bread and eat at home.
Next, just after my last day of exams, there was a Pre-Christmas Celebration with Christian Fellowship(CF). That day I felt so relieved as exams have ended. I could finally enjoy and celebrate Christmas with my friends. We had a lot of food and as usual it's always the chicken that has to finish first! By the time I say, "never mind ladies first!" Hep!!! I didn't know that those ladies are chicken freak!!! Tskk!!! :P When we finished our dinner we sang Christmas Carols, as usual when you meet with other Christians from different churches, it's not all the songs that you will know for sure. It was quite fun!
My next target was supposed to be a trip to Malacca together with Ivy and Patricia but unfortunately Ivy's parents didn't allow her to go and then it was flooding around there that day. So just imagine if we went there, we had to take the ship to go there! haha!!! Never mind, at least on Tuesday 18th there was prayer meeting. As I always say, prayer meeting is always the best place to be although you're in the period of exams, crisis or even in times of joy! Again, we all gathered together and prayed for our new building and pray for the Kefira Show (our Christmas Production).
During Christmas week, I went to stay at Martin's place since last year also I went to stay there for Christmas. It's far better to go to other places than to stay in Cheras because it's always one of the most boring place ever during the holidays! Yeah Christmas was quite good, I went around with Martin and had to babysit Darell also. We went to Starbucks as Martin had to work, so to take care of Darell, I had to on my laptop also and open yotube. I was thinking of putting sometimes like Dinosaurs but I'm scared that it's too scary for him. So I put the Cartoon Transformers for him, since he's a very big fan of transformers (more fan than me i must say). hehe.. Actually it's pretty good thing that I stayed at Martin's place. I got to go to a wedding ceremony (malaysian version). It was in a garden where I'm not so sure where is it but it was beautiful!!! It was a very touching and romantic wedding that I've ever seen. I couldn't attend the wedding dinner but at least I had fun in Pavilion. It was my first time there and there was indeed a lot of things. At first I got lost but I could find my way in the end. :)
I was supposed to stay at Martin's place for 8days, from 19th to 26th, but on the 22nd my uncle Maxime and Uncle Maria came to spend Christmas in Malaysia. They have even taken one room in the hotel for me, so just imagine. I HAVE A HOTEL ROOM FOR MYSELF!!!!! So I then spend Christmas with my uncle and aunty and they bought a lot of stuffs for Christmas for me. Wow wow wow!!! PRAISE GOD! I even made my housemates to stay one night with me in the hotel and my uncle blessed them dinner. Isn't that great? ;)
After staying in the nice hotel, we had to head to (Johor Bahru) JB to Ray's house. It was my first time to JB so that's where the interesting part of the story begins. The interesting thing is that JB ppl are different from KL ppl. I will say something that I've noticed but with no offense to the JB ppl. I noticed that the JB ppl, when they talk, they seem to be arguing and fighting verbally but actually it's not, that's the way they talk. They all talk so loud and for a normal person from other city would say, "why are these ppl fighting, they just started to talk and started to fight already!" Well that's the way they talk. I got used to it with time. The other thing that I noticed there is the fashion. The way they dress and their hairstyle is most likely to be the same. I noticed that mostly in girls, most of them have the same hairstyle which is quite funny and confusing to me. Just imagine that you're looking for a friend from JB and they all have the same hairstyle and you seem to see your friend in every corner of the shopping mall. Isn't it confusing?
I must say that JB food is very nice. I have been eating a lot during this holiday but I don't know how that I've become slimmer in this short period of time. The only food that I can remember which is very nice is the Otak otak and the nasi lemak. It's indeed the best that I've ever found in Malaysia so far! haha! Then on the 30Dec I went to Singapore. We all woke up at 6am and left at 6:45am to go to Singapore for church which was at 9:30am. But the problem we were still late! :( The good thing is that we met Kristy in the same MRT while going to church together with some members of W17. Wow I tell you, it's as if we were all going on a cell group trip to Singapore! haha!!! From a housemates trip changed into a cell group trip! hahaha!!! So we reach City Harvest Singapore late but still we had good seats. We were all worshipping God in this place and then the part where we have to welcome new friends in church, our whole row rise up and it was all our cell members! haha!! After church we went shopping to Orchard Road. It was great to go there and all their stuffs is cool but expensive I must say. After that we went back to JB again and we had to come back to Singapore again the next day and stay in the hotel that my uncle has booked for us. So cool right?
We went shopping in Bugis street and Bugis Junction is quite quite nice and cheap compared to Orchard Road. But there are a lot of people there and even to cross the road is not easy. Well then after new year we came back to JB and back to KL. WOW I finally finished posting this after severals days of laziness and lack of inspiration. Today I had time and I could finally post it.

Happy Birthday Cristine!!!!
Today is my housemate, Cristine's birthday! YEAH!!! All the way from yesterday as we were going to Kajang, she keep on telling us that it's her birthday the next day. Then we pretend to have forgotten about it.
When it reached 12AM today, she was expecting that we say happy birthday to her. So Adyssia was the first one to say happy birthday to her as she was next to her on her laptop. Then at 12:08AM, I came back home and she thought that there's a lot of people coming to celebrate her birthday. So her heart went faster suddenly and when I opened the door, she was shocked to see me alone with nothing. Then she told me, "It's my birthday today!! It's my birthday today!!" I replied, "not yet, not yet!" But when I checked the time, it was 12:08AM, so i had to wish her happy birthday. I've never seen someone who's so crazy about their birthday's wish! So as her housemates, only Adyssia and me who wished her a happy birthday.
Actually we've planned something else for her. Since she was reminding her all the time that it's her birthday, we decided to make a surprise, a really big surprise!!! We planned to wake her up at 5AM to make a surprise by making her scared as if there were ghosts in the house. But actually the plan went in another way. She thought that there was a thief in the house and opened my door and killed me! She was so scared and Adyssia pretended to be scared also. We, the "surprisers", made some scary noises and we opened the door and bang it! We even scratched the door to make it scarier! It was indeed very scary for her. She had to open the door but was scared that the thief will kill her, so she took umbrella and adyssia took the broom to get ready to hit the thief (us) as she opened the door!! And when the door was opened, we sang happy birthday to her and she was crying because not only she was happy but she was still scared!!!! In the end we threw her and adyss in the swimming pool at 6AM!!! :P Indeed it's very cold!!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRISTINE!!! :)
Here is the Video that we recorded while doing this! :)

Satay Kajang!!!!!
Here I'm back again! :) I just came back from a place called Kajang where it is famous for its Satay!!! So after a boring day, we, Edi, Cristine, Ray and I went all the way from Cheras to Kajang! It was indeed a very exciting trip. It was our first time to Kajang and we took the LRT to go all the way there. It took us around 30mins to reach our destination.
As we reached there we were sort of lost in Kajang because it was our very first time. We had to go to meet Ray's doctor first before we go and tackle the famous satay! We walked and walked until we couldn't find the way and we kept on asking people to show us the way. When we reached to meet the doctor, it was a Chinese doctor specialized in the Chinese Medicine. So I could see all the traditional herbal Chinese medicine.
After Ray's therapy, we were getting hungry and we had to walk quite a long mile to reach the famous satay Kajang. Finally we reached there and we order satay of different meats: Chicken, Fish, Beef, Deer, Lamb and Rabbit. I must say that the lamb is the best of all! :) The deer was not bad as well.
For more pictures, I'll have to ask Ray! :)
Meanwhile enjoy this video of our Kajang Trip! :)

Modeling
Recently I don't know why this has been crossing my mind. It's about being a Model, someone who would pose and photographs take my pictures. Well I feel of doing that. I've done that before when I went to photo shoot for the brochure of UCSI but they didn't pay cash for that. I just got a free lunch.
I just feel of going for modeling and just posing. At first I didn't like to take pictures of myself but actually it's cool when you just pose and someone takes your pictures and it turns out to be good. Well I just feel of doing that. It's not to become popular, this one I don't really care, but I just want to have some pocket money. Since some people says that I'm handsome *ahem*, I think it'll be a good experience for me to be a model.
The problem is, I don't know who should I see for that and how do I apply for it. I'm just looking for a part time job that is flexible and that will not clash with my studies and church. Maybe this job would be suitable for me. Well I've no idea. My dear friends, those reading this post, what do you think of it? Any advice?

FAKE it until you MAKE it!
Recently I've noticed a lot of things happening in my life. Few weeks ago, I've realized that I was backslided without realizing it. Since Emerge Conference, I was so refreshed and transformed but there was a time that I didn't know that I was backsliding from God. I was getting myself far away from God, step by step.
I only got to notice that when I went to cell group in Sunway, which is very seldom I go there. There was Leo who was sharing the warmth time. He was sharing that since very small, he was praising God in everything he does. He praise God for this studies, for his food that we get everyday, praise God for his parents, etc. He also said that throughout all the times he praised God and give Him all the glory, that's the time he became a top student in his entire primary school. It's only until he started to join secondary school and his results started to drop. Why is that? This is because he was getting too comfortable all the time that God has blessed him. So afterwards he encouraged us to share a very good praise report and not to be too comfortable with our blessings, we should always praise God in all circumstances.
I was really touched by his sharing and I've realized that my walk with God hasn't been very good. I've been far away from him. I haven't been praying nor reading my Bible. I've only been doing so in church only. But to pray and to read the Bible is not only in church, but also to any other places like our house, our room, in the train, in the bus, or even in the toilet and so on. I felt that prayer is very important in every Christian living. It's the foundation of our daily living for God. So when I came back to God, I prayed and praised God in every single thing I do and in all things that God has blessed me. But little did I know that it was not an easy thing to do. I started to pray and praise God again, I realized that I was not normal either. I was not feeling myself and being filled. I felt like my prayers were worthless. Some of us would say, "Oh God won't forgive you already!" But no, this is how it is actually.
My life is like a mountain, where I climbed 50% of it, then I fell at the foot of the mountain. I fell without realizing that it until my head hit the floor. When I hit the floor, I then knew that I fell. So it's the same as my own life. I fell off the mountain so low that I didn't realize it. To be able to feel strong and faith-filled again, it's to climb the mountain again. That's the reason also that I cannot feel God's presence so strong as it used to be before, but when you get closer to God, that's where He will draw closer to us as well. Then I remember what Pastor said in his preaching, when you cannot pray, don't depend and listen to your emotion, don't wait until you feel it then you pray, no but FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT!!! I pressed on and pray everyday without fault and praising God all the time. Indeed God is a faithful God and He blessed my life and I've been strong, spirit-filled and faith-filled.
Friends, I would like to encourage you, just as I've been backslided for quite some time, God knows your heart and He is ready to forgive you and renew your life again. If sometimes we don't feel like praying, stop here! Don't depends on your feeling, but Fake it until you Make it! Just pray and praise God in everything you do. He said that he will bless you, and will bless you indeed! C'mon get this blessing from Him!

Kristy's birthday
Yesterday there was the Parachute Band from New Zealand in our church leading us all into worship. It was a great time spending in the presence of God! As usual after service, we just go together as a cell group for a fellowship dinner and Kristy, our beloved cell leader, would accompany us as always. So that night we were prepared something special for her as the following day, which is today, is her birthday!
So here is how the plan went on. All the cell groups under Kristy's subzone, have prepared her a surprise after dinner. So while the others were busy preparing after church, my cell group had to act normal and drag the dinner till late. Since I'm in charge of the transportation for my cell members, I purposely asked the van driver to fetch us a bit late and then I told Kristy that the van will come a bit late.
As the van came to fetch us, every time Kristy will say goodbye to us and lead us to the van. So as we were all in the van, I've asked the driver to fetch some of us at Kristy's place. When we've reached her place, nobody was there yet. So there was Adyss, Cristine, Ray and myself playing the see saw at the children playground. As soon as the others came, it was very exciting. We discussed of what pranks we were going to do on Kristy. All the pranks were really bad and scary. 1st we plan something that we never did before. 3 of us disguise themselves as bandit and wearing masks with knife; not any type of knife, but sharp knife. So the plan is the 3 of them attack Kristy as she comes in her house. Then as she enters in, we would spray snow on her. Indeed the plan was successful. At first we had some incident, such as there was one neighbor as he/she went to his/her house, saw the "bandits" and ran away! Poor our "bandits", they thought that the person was about to call for the security. Praise God that it went exactly as we planned. Kristy came in and her face turned pale and she was trembling in fear but little did she know that we were all inside and were ready to make her the Big Surprise.

That was the first part of our pranks on her. The second part is where we all threw her in the swimming pool. I think it's a tradition every year, we have to throw her in the swimming pool! It was fun indeed. We not only threw her in the swimming pool, we also threw Chintia and Leo as well. Poor Chintia, she was defending herself saying, "let me go, I will jump myself in the swimming, please don't throw me inside!" But in the end, we threw her also! :)

There was also the cake. The cake is from Secret Recipe. It was indeed a very nice and sweet chocolate creamy cake! On this cake, there were 2 candles to make her feel younger, 20 years old but actually she's older than that. Hilda also got the idea of writing "Happy Birthday Mommy!" on the cake as Kristy is our role model in our cell group and she's indeed a very good leader. So we called her Mommy in the end! :)
Happy Birthday Mommy!! ^-^
So here is how the plan went on. All the cell groups under Kristy's subzone, have prepared her a surprise after dinner. So while the others were busy preparing after church, my cell group had to act normal and drag the dinner till late. Since I'm in charge of the transportation for my cell members, I purposely asked the van driver to fetch us a bit late and then I told Kristy that the van will come a bit late.

Break Free
Break Free has become a very common word for me. I hear it every time; in church, at home, on campus and on the net. The first time I came across this term, it was the song Breaking Free in High School Musical. I like the song very much because it's a duo song. I've always love duo songs because there's a feeling that they both share. It's the feeling of the song!
The other time I heard of this term was in church during prayer meeting. It was a new song for us by Hillsong called Break Free. "So won't you break free, won't you break free, his love!", that's how it sounded like. The first time I heard it in church, it was a cool and exciting song where everyone learned it so fast. Prayer meeting was on a Tuesday night and we had a special weekend service with Pst Joakim Lundqvist from Sweeden. Pst Joakim is a youth pastor and he motivates every youths to make a difference in their society and especially in their colleges. That weekend there was this song again saying, "So won't you break free, won't you break free!" It was quite fun because this time while we were singing this song, on the LCD projector we can view sequences of anime such as Naruto and Bleach. Haha!!! It was so good!! From that time I started to like amine! hehe...
Today while I was listening to the song Break Free again, this term started to resound in my head. "Break Free, Break Free!" *echo* Then I started to ask myself, what does Break Free mean? So I went to the Oxford Online Dictionary. This is what it means:
Friends, this song is about the love of God. There's no escape in it and no mistake in it. It is true across the world, His love is known. My question is, Won't you break free and get up and dance for His love that never ends?

"Break free is to escape from confinement or control"In other words to break free is to escape from something that is hindering you, something that is controlling you. From that time, this word has become a powerful word to me! A lot of times there are things that is hindering us from growing and to carry on with life; hatred, broken heart, depressed, anger, procrastination, laziness, etc...
Friends, this song is about the love of God. There's no escape in it and no mistake in it. It is true across the world, His love is known. My question is, Won't you break free and get up and dance for His love that never ends?
Let's break free and make a difference in the society today!
