Grateful

'Thank you for the cross Lord, 

Thank you for the price you paid. 

Bearing all my sin and shame, 

In love you came and gave amazing grace'

-Worthy is the Lamb ; Hillsong 

Thank you Lord for always being there. 

Thank you Lord for giving me life. 

Thank you Lord for making me, me. 

Thank you for your undying love. 

I often wonder why did Jesus die for me. Why did God send His one and only son to die for a sinner like me? He didn't have to send His son to mingle with us, humans. He could have stayed in heaven and enjoy His life there. But God didn't do that. 'For the wages of sin is death.' My God is a God with a heart of compassion. He died so that we don't have to die for our sins. He came down to heaven to serve and not to be served. Wow, just wow. Imagine the prime minister doing the house chores for you when you're suppose to serve him. Wow, right?

I worship a God that's extremely awesome. Words can't describe His awesome-ness. He is so so big! He can be with me and you and the entire Earth's population (7 Billion people) at one time. He can be listening to me and can be comforting you at the same time. He knows you, He wants you, He is always there for you and He loves you. 

'It's not the nails that hung Christ to the cross, but His love for you and me.' 

Camporama in 2 days.

Overwhelmed with serenity

Bonjour and hello! (:

I've been away from here for a week and it feels so good to be blogging again. *I love the new blogger! I wanted to log in here to post something last week but couldn't for I was busy cramming Geography, KH, History and Science facts &notes into the little brain of mine. It's amazing how the brain works. It'll be cooler if it had a USB cable or something that would store information without requiring any reading or memorizing. But, of course, that only happens in my dreams and nothing comes without hard work! I regretted for not being determined enough to insert more facts &notes before the exams started. Tsk tsk. Something I must change! 

Camporama in twelve, 12 days! 

The reason why I'm here typing all these now is because I'm cool. Nah, just kidding. My exams finished today!! And it's a Friday - prepare for the sentence - IT'S FRIDAY, FRIDAY, GOTTA GET IT DOWN ON FRIDAY! :) PARTYING PARTYING YEAH! :) *If you got the sentence right, 10 points for you!

I've got some pictures for you! And I'll write along the way.

This is my Art exam's masterpiece. It's pretty hilarious. You're allowed to laugh, for now. Well, my Art teacher - which so happened to be the teacher in charge to set the Art practical questions - came out with extremely extraordinary questions for us to draw. I had a hard time picking. In the end, I thought of fulfilling Q6 and draw aliens with cool weapons and uniform with a spaceship in the background. And the above was the best idea I came out with. It's really weird, but hey, aliens are suppose to be weird right? The most right alien character was inspired by the one and only Spongebob Squarepants. I am really satisfied with the little alien in the little UFO-like vehicle on the right. heehee.

These crayons are the best! I guess I made the best out of them today for there was so much to colour! I mixed colours weirdly today and it was really odd. But I reckon that the whole drawing's theme is Weird, so I really hope that my drawing will turn out okay. I like Art for there's no right or wrong when it comes to Art (unless one decides to mix colours oddly). It's between you and your wildest imagination.

*Rebekah had a crayon fever today. She used my crayons and started colouring like crazy on her notebook. I find that part of her really amusing.

This was taken outside of my lovely home. It was such a magnificent sight! It looks better in real life though. Seriously, no one can paint the sky better than God. He makes the best out of everything; He makes everything beautiful. :) Speaking of homes, I reckon that homes are the best. No matter how big other people's house may be, there's no place like home. Home is a place where I can be my usual messy self. I love my home! *Have to do some cleaning up. My table is filled with reference and workbooks! Such a messy messy sight! It's painful for the eye!

Although Midterms are over, I still have projects waiting for me. I would really want to complete my projects as soon as possible for it's painful for the brain! :)

Till then,
Stay happy! (:

Trying my best

 'Your education is your life-guard it well' - Proverbs 4:13

This gave me a boost of encouragement. Thank you Lord!

''Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.'' - Deuteronomy 31:6

This will always be my source of comfort.

''If you do not stand firm in your faith you will not stand at all.'' - Isaiah 7:9

This verse always reminds me that no matter how great worldly things can be, God's word is something that I have to always treasure. Keep me in your prayers! :) 

*Just thought of sharing some scriptures with yal! When I came across these few verses when I was tumblring, I was like 'I have to blog about this!'. And there you go! Another post from yours truly! As you can see, I don't own these pictures! :) 

Till then, 

*Smileeeee. 

The time has come

Now, my friends, the time has come to start the CAMPORAMA COUNTDOWN!

22. Twenty-two days to the 30th May 2012. 

Well, this is no ordinary camp alright. I, along with many other people, have to wait 4 years - 4 extremely long years - for this camp.  It's like waiting for the Olympics. 

(My) Definition of Camporama : Pure Awesome. 

This once-in-four years camp is fun-filled with mind-blowing activities. We had Archery, Flying Fox, Kayaking, Laser Tag, Frisbee and many more activities for the last Camporama. Trust me, it gets better each Camporama. :) We are divided into different different states this year (we were India for the last Camporama). We, Selangor #7, are SARAWAK this year! So, we'll be dressing, eating, acting like a Sarawak-ian during Camporama. Oh-so-much-fun! Can't wait. :) 

GO SARAWAAAAK!

(My) Definition of Stress : A kind of emotion that is definitely undesirable by mankind. It has the ability to make pimples pop up on one's face and even turn one's black hair white. It, too, has the ability to make one crave for food at random times. :)

Hello and how do you do? :)

The time has come to (I can't believe I'm saying this) start the Midterms countdown too. Well, I'm not going to make it so easy for you to read the countdown timer, I'm going to make you move your brain a little. So... 10-5-3+3-2-1+3-1-2=? days to Midterm. I'm feeling super insecure for this Midterm because I haven cover all the chapters for all the subjects, yet.

Though my parents are being extremely nice with me this time - for not saying anything that's related to Midterms or exams or anything like that, I can still feel the pressure; I can feel the stress! Well, maybe, just maybe, I'm the one who's creating all the stress for myself. I have to admit (same confession for the past 3 years) that I've a lot of competition this year. Good thing? Bad thing? My classmates are extremely smart to the max. Shoot them with a History question and BAM, they answer it straight away. They make me feel dumb. :( In one way or another, it's a kind of encouragement for me. It gives me the determination to study and to want to get good grades. *trying to be as optimistic as I can* 10 points for me! :) 

So Midterms are here and somehow I can't wait to get over with Midterms. I want to get it over with and start my movie marathon! *woot woot* I enjoyed the generosity of Astro for the past 10 days. Thank you Astro for showing almost 130 channels for free! I managed got to watch 'I am Number Four', a little bit of 'Prom' and 'Ramona and Beezus'. I got to watch JUNIORS MASTERCHIEF TOO! Boy, oh, boy, those kids got talent! The best meal I've ever cooked is Maggie Mee. :) BAM. I KNOW YOUR JEALOUS :P I can cook the best Maggie Mee (soup/dry). Teeehee. #whatagreatachievement. 

Till then,

Haha. :)

I'll taste every moment and live it out loud

I want to lie down on a field flooded with pretty pretty daisies;

 I want to breath in the sweet smell of daisies. :)

And, I want to do star gazing when I'm in another country. I hardly find any stars in Malaysia! I'll probably grab my sleeping bag and just fall asleep under the starry night sky. 

NO ONE CAN STOP ME!

Hello, hello! (:

I'm extremely happy right now. Blogger changed! Blogger made blogging so much more exciting. Great job, Blogger! And I finally know how to make my picture look extremely big! *O, I'm a happy happy girl! haha. Blogger's sudden change is one of the reasons I decided to post something here today. Heehee. Since I can't think of anything in particular to blog about today, I shall blog about yesterday. 

I have to say, yesterday was great. 

As usual, I stayed back for Yellow house practice yesterday. I was feeling lazy. It's not my fault that the weather is so suitable for nap time. I miss being a little kid when nap times are necessary. Boy O boy, the advantages of being a little kid. Wait a minute, I'm still a kid, in the inside, so that means, nap time is necessary for me! 

Had a heart-to-heart conversation with the two oh-so-beautiful Becks and Jia Wen. It was as if we were  taking a stroll in our fantasy world. We were talking and talking and talking. From fashion to fashion to boys. Little did I know that we think alike and you know what they say, 'great minds think alike'! And, little did I know that I wasn't the only one who would dreams and fantasize things. I guess its a girls' thing. But, hey, it's not wrong right? Can't wait to get over with PMR and shop with the two oh-so-beautiful. 

By God's grace, recess meeting happened as usual and our oh-so-wise CF President shared today. He shared about taking refuge in our pure awesome God. God created everything; from the dinosaurs to the elephants to the tigers to the dogs to the birds to the butterfly to the ant; Big or small, everything is created by God. Everything you see, is a creation of God. And therefore God is everywhere. When you think He's not there, He's there. It's so good to know that.

'For I know the plans I have for you' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.' -Jermiah 29:11 

Truly, I worship an awesome God! He has everything planed out for me, a sinner. He died when He didn't have to. It's true that I face many problems and I question (or even complain to) God whenever I'm faced with a situation. But, I know that He, the Almighty, has a plan for me. :) If I have to wait for an answer, I'll wait. 

*I've got a little idea for story #3. With mid-terms and project assignments in my way, I'm not sure when I'll be able to write it and post it up. 

Till then,
I'll taste every moment and live it out loud. 

Breathing in, slowly.

Truly, ''life without love is really worthless''.

Bonjour and how is your week? :)

ITS FRIDAY! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? ITS TIME TO PARTY. BUT BEFORE THAT, I HAVE TO STUDY. IT RYHMES, I think. But yeah. :D I got the timetable for my Midterm and guess what? My Midterm is starting on the 10th instead of the 4th of May. God is good. More time to study!

Today, I did something that I have been craving to do for the past few weeks - I rode my bike again! I would take a picture of my cute bicycle but my dad kind of misplaced my camera, so I have no choice but to google a picture of a bike, and I got the above picture.

My superly awesome dad took time off from his busy schedule to fix my lovely 3-year-old bike for a lil' make over. Well, it's not really a make over, but my dad got my brakes and the basket that's hanging in front of my bike fixed. My dad hired air and got my tires pumped! Woohoo! I am one happy girl alright.

I grabbed my iPod and off I went bike riding around my neighbourhood. I was blasting music into my ears at the start of the bike ride, but I decided to stop the blasting of music and let whatever sounds -the sounds of trees dancing, the sounds of cars, the sounds of children's laughter- that are around to fill my ears. It was around 7 when I rode my bike. I was expecting raindrops to fall from the sky, for it was extremely dark, but none fell - thank God.

I took my usual route around the neighbourhood and decided to be like Katniss; so I did a lil' 'trespassing' to another 'District' - I rode through a little green fence gate and entered another neighbourhood. I felt so heroine-ish. :)

It felt great to be riding on a bike after such a long time - a long and stressful time. I have to say, this year has been my most hectic year. But, let's not let the hectic-ness ruin my awesome bike riding moment.

It felt great to be riding again; it felt great to feel the cool crisp evening air; it felt soothing to see the serene park; it felt good to see kids playing in the park; it felt awesome to see my alma mater - SJK (C) Yuk Chai, again.

I thank God for bikes. And I thank my daddy for fixing my bike. :) This only means one thing, *echos one thingg*, more bike rides! :)

The time goes ticking...

'I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily. I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make.' ~ I won't give up; Jason Mraz.

And the time goes ticking like nobody's business. It's insane I tell you, insane! *Oh, how I wish I have the ability to freeze time! Well, here's some good news, turns out, I won't be taking the blood test! Pheww. Somehow my mommy said it would be risky to take blood tests in schools. So no blood test for me. :)

Today, I got the shock of my life. For the past few weeks, I always thought that Mid-term will start on the 7th of May. But, turns out, it's going to start on the 4th of May. Pn Molly, my tuition teacher, told us that the PJ district might taking the same test paper. Which makes Mid-term more scary because it will be insanely tough! And then, there's Pn Chin, my maths teacher. She is constantly reminding us how important Mid-term is for our streaming next year.

I'm starting to feel the pressure already. And boy, it's not a great feeling.

Here's a random thought. Whenever I hear the word 'District', I'll always think of District Twelve (a district that exists in the Hunger Games movie). And whenever I think of Hunger Games, I'll think of Peeta. :D

Anyhoos, any ideas for my 3rd story? I'm trying to think of something for it. But, I'll put it on hold for my exams are coming up and I really have to study. :) If you have any ideas, do let me know! Teehee.

Till then,

Always be merry! :)
