Holiday

2010-04-30T17:04:00.005+08:00

my favourite niece! :)

This holiday are weight gaining and movie freak time. :) very fruitful one indeed! haha..

I did very interesting exercise to increase my creativity lately. I found it from creative curio. this exercise has already doodle on it (blue pen), while I need to create an image out of it.

I also just found out that KK has a chocolate boutique. Went there with Frances, Mandy, Vern, Gar and Clara. :) hehe forgot to take picture of chocolate I made. the chocolate is really rich and delicious. Oh.. this reminds me of the delicious durian chocolate cake that Silvia and Caleb bought for me. Miss it loads.. Oh and I love the packaging as well.. very pretty.

Little thought to ponder on

2010-03-31T11:40:00.003+08:00

"...for the person i care, all that i got from him is just nothing more than the silence of the air.."

Isn't it irony how life are. some people who you care about, respond nothing more than the silence of the air. However, people whom you care the least, responded nothing less than the sound of fireworks.

So who do you think is the person you should care for?

Choices Choices choices...

2010-03-25T02:28:00.004+08:00

Found a place to stay already. But there's pros and cons. It takes about 15 minutes for me to walk to college. should I continue to stay in the hostel or move to further place? Hostel expensive, dirty but very near college. The new place will be very far from college but very nice and clean the house, plus, I get my own room and got air-con as well. Or should I wait for another alternative?

Choices choices choices... You're never that easy, ya know?

Little things that weight as big things

2010-03-19T17:49:00.003+08:00

A lot of things happened in this semester. erm.. actually just 2 things that happened. Eventhough its just 2 things, but it felt like its just tooo much! And I'm really really frustrated with it..

First I need to find a house before this sem end because the hostel fee will be increased to Rm 400! I don't understand why they keep on giving us new policy for the hostel this year, saying need to pay for 'repairing and management fee' and they only support the bills for Rm 150 only. So now, my housemates and I gonna move out. But where?????.....

I've been borrowing the college's dslr now. And just now, the person told me that there's a small scratch at the side of the dslr screen. There's a possibility that I need to pay for the damage.. I really hope that they would have mercy..

Fan ah!!!!!!!

Ok.. I need to move on and need..... a faith that can move a mountain!! :) Yup That's it!

One Republic New Album

2010-01-27T12:24:00.005+08:00

I'm really glad that Mr Foo is satisfied with 2 of it. Fuh~ he's really hard to pleased. For my first assignment, got I got shoot so badly..

He thinks that this both got potential. :)

I've been browsing through Elegant-Extraganza lately. haha.. still thinking whether to buy a new clothes for cny through there or not..

Bubbly day

2010-01-20T02:01:00.004+08:00

Last night was a night that I would use a modified version of a malay peribahasa (how do you call this in english?). It is "Seperti buih dalam daging" instead of "Seperti duri dalam daging".

It became buble this morning. While I was writting, Had a bit difficulty coz can't really pressed down my hand on the paper. So tempted to burst it. What would happen if i burst it? or what happen if i don't? I'm not really an expert in this.

Today photography class, we need to do our own camera using cardboard and film. Quite interesting. I get to create my very own Lomo.

More Beautiful You

2010-01-17T00:56:00.004+08:00

More Beautiful You song depicts the story of how a young girl never satisfied with who they are, and they ended up buying all the lies of the world that told them what 'beauty' is.

I love this song soo much. :)

2010-01-13T23:50:00.003+08:00

Doing is better than saying. I need to start doing instead of saying. Carrie!!!!!

I love what Pastor Kenneth said: We're on a rescue boat, not on cruise.

Finally finished one of my artwork. Fuh... :o Still got so much more to draw though.. :(

Had Roti Susu Just now with housemate. Love it! :)

I got my tablet!

2010-01-09T11:50:00.006+08:00

Tadaaaa! Finally I got my tablet. Doing my art would be so much easier.I love this semester sooooo much! I got a photography class! I also have a class called marker rendering. This class I get to learn how to be more observant on colour. Its not that easy.

Can see my result below. :)

I love Photoshop!

2009-12-29T15:08:00.002+08:00

Last night went out with Daph and Yen. Had great time chatting, learn online shopping and facebook-ing. Since today very free in spite of taking care of my nieces, I decided to edit this photo with photoshop.

Memory of us.
Old but memorable.
:)

Humility

2009-12-25T17:49:00.002+08:00

It takes courage to sincerely admit that you're wrong, that is Humility

No matter how hard you try to defend yourself. In the end, deep inside you, your conscience will tell you that you're actually wrong. I find that to be humble towards people who are younger than you, its kinda......really hard. Still learning though to be humble. I believed that its not easy for people to be humble. I'll certainly solute the person who are humble.

Complacency

2009-12-23T23:01:00.002+08:00

Complacency.. A feeling of contentment or self-satisfaction, especially when coupled with an unawareness of danger, trouble, or controversy. I used to feel that this word is very very negative. But to come to think of it, its not really that bad after all. Once in a while (not all the time!) we should be complacent.

I think that everyone has their time of complacency. I think its OK to be complacent at some point of our life. I would suggest that people who rarely rest their mind even when they sleep should take their time out to be complacent. Your mind need a break. And during your time of complacent, that could be the time where God could speak to you the most after all the clutters in your life are settled down.

2009-12-23T22:49:00.002+08:00

Christmas.................... i wonder how it'll be like for this year......

Argh! I don't want to go back kl......... i wanna stay in kk....... My hostel very unreasonable.. want to charge us extra rm30 for services and maintanance fee every month. the rental also very unreasonable.. I wish I can find a near, convenient and nice house to stay.. :)

2009-12-03T19:15:00.000+08:00

Today had a bad critique from my lecturer. Like Kiki in the Kiki's Delivery Service(I watched just now), i feel like i have lost my abilitiy to design. :( I have to find back the reason i love design at the first place(that's what I learned from the move). I need to take a break and maybe have a 24 hrs movie day! Coz I got a LOT, really a LOT of movie from my friend. wuahaha!

Tomorrow is Homes Christmas. We're suppose to have gift exchange. I seriously don't know what am I gonna give. I give cloths. coz I'm not sure if a guy or a girl will get my present.. So.... after several hours of thinking at Pyramid. I've thought of a good present! I'm gonna buy a notebook! With very very nice design on it. Sounds good huh? I bet! I hope whoever that is received it will like it. :) Tips that I learned from my sister regarding to buying gift to people: 1) Buy something that you think you'll like it as a gift; 2) Make sure make sure that you're able to afford it.

I wish I have a thick, nice notebook too for copying sermon notes.. :) coz mine almost rotten. no la.. actually almost finish. I remembered the one notebook Calvin gave me. I seriously fully used it. It still exist now. But then, a bit dirty already coz got spilled by water. My Bible also kind of old already. Its my first Bible :) Still love it very much. Old but Precious! hehe.. I think its time to gives it a new covering for Christmas as a present for it.

Oh well.... I gotta scoooot now. OR maybe take a short nap before I go masak my dinner? Argh malas lah... I wish I'm back in KK now!

Poster Design

2009-12-02T21:13:00.000+08:00

Photoshop

2009-11-30T15:25:00.000+08:00

Instead of uploading the photo one by one, i've put all the images together in photoshop. smart leh... hehehe..

Cry Comfort Found it!

2009-11-26T13:08:00.000+08:00

Can't believe it. I have seen some of my classmate in some of the semester cried because of the pressure of assignments. Never did I think that I would be one of them in this semester. Don't think that I'm not blogging about this crying issue for sympathy. Just that the whole experience is really rare and embarassing for me..

I cried merely because i can't find my printed assignments and research folder for my typography assignments which has to be handed up today. Funny.. to remember how it actually happened.. I ran up and down twice from my class to the vision art shop, to find my printed assignments and research folder. The moment I ran up to my class for the last time, a feeling of dissappointment suddenly dawn upon me. Man! tears began to overflow from my eyes like...... drizzling rain? haha! :)

And then I remembered my there's a friend of mine also cried in this semester because of assignments stress(AS). I seriously don't know how to react. Should I go comfort her or should I be silent and let her have her own space. If I comfort her, what should I say? In the end, I chose to give her tissue and just sit beside her and do my assignment.

I think that some people don't like to be comforted when they cry but some people like it. For me, I don't like to be comforted because they'll make me cry ever MORE! However I like it also because you feel loved. Complicated ya.. That's because I'm a girl.. that's why.. I wonder what if a guy like to be comforted or not when they cry..

Oh ya.. In the end right, my friend found my thing at the vision art shop. Really glad that she helped me. by the way, I realised one thing oh.. when you cry right, you can get a lot of help. haha.. :P

2009-11-25T14:46:00.001+08:00

aww man.. I've spent abt 2 hrs to beautify my blog. need to continue do my assignment for typography poster. Will upload it here....if i remember :)

In need of inspiration

2009-11-15T12:36:00.000+08:00

think think think! I need idea and inspiration! I wish there's a mathematical formula for it... :( I'm doing a project for magazine layout and the topic im doing is orang utan! argh... the title's font and arrangement should have a orang utan essence in it.. what would you suggest to me? Don't wanna fail for this assignment. Gabriel is really pissed off last week. if this week i javascript:void(0)didn't give a good artwork he'll be FURIOUS!

2009-10-29T20:58:00.000+08:00

What would a lovely day be like if our heart weren’t there?

What would a blessed day be like if God is not in midst of it?

I don’t know why..but I felt really empty today. It’s as if something missing in my life. I’m still figuring what it is. I wish i had the 'know it all' thinking cap.

Thirsty?

2009-10-24T14:33:00.000+08:00

Tadaaa~ One of the design i learnt from vandelay blog. :)

You never praise me..

2009-10-21T16:49:00.000+08:00

A friend of mine today just brought out an interesting question. So, here's the question.

Friend Me

Do you remember what are the things that your parents praises you for?
Erm nope. they rarely praise me. maybe coz they're afraid that i might get proud.
Then how about you? Do you remember what are the things that you praise your parents for?
Haha... Ya oh.. I don remember me praising them for something.

So praise and encourage someone Today especially your family! :)

Assignments never cease

2009-10-18T14:51:00.000+08:00

2009-10-17T18:16:00.001+08:00

Today got random call from my friend to eat kan lou mee.chit chat chit chat. and then mention abt working part time. I'm hoping to get a part time job in starbuck for this semester holiday. Excited! so that i can learn how to make really really nice coffee.:) hopefully they accept ppl with 3 weeks holiday one. hehe.. still not sure whether to go back kk o not coz wanna take this time to save up money to buy a lot of stuff for my next sem: dslr camera and wacom tablet. all together is quite expensive. still deciding to get a very very cheap one not good quality first or to get the best one so that no need to fret on changing a better one in the future..

Lost

2009-10-11T20:16:00.000+08:00

For the last few weeks I've been working on my 1st typography assignment. This assignment require us design the word that we've chosen. And I chose the word 'lost'.

Feeling lost?

2009-09-27T23:40:00.000+08:00

'studies is one thing, but God is everything in my life'

Quote from Jade Tan

I'm lovin' it

Nice o not?

2009-09-23T16:21:00.001+08:00

Every good arts has it flaws. Mine got a lot.. cry...

The Handsome
For this one, the hand got a bit cacat.

The Joker
For this one, the eyes got a bit cacat..

The Macho
For this one, no cacat la I suppose.

Look good right all of them? However they don't look exactly like the references I used to draw them.

2009-09-19T18:03:00.000+08:00

Think, pray and feel before you decide to do things that are very important in your life. Often time, I do things according to 'feel' and 'think', and prayer is often neglected in the list. Someone has thought me a lot of things in this past few days. Prayer seems to be a habit to him. I'm really amazed by it. Everywhere that he go, he'll surely pray first. He always encourage us to pray and pray before we decide to do anything that's crucial. Me, as a teenager(hehe yay! still in teenage year), I often act impulsively without thinking. I learnt that everytime I did that, I often got myself in trouble. I'm still learning to be careful with every of my ways by 'think, pray and feel'.

Calvin has gone to UK this morning. Of course most of us will be missing him very much because of the 'mark' he has left in each one of us. I just hope that we won't let his absence be an obstacle for us to keep on pressing forward for God coz I believe that he'll be pressing even more forward when he's in UK. So shouldn't we do the same as well? May God's presence be with him to guide and protect him when he's in Uk.

This afternoon had Huddle meeting with Ellie. We were informed that Homes is going to multiply in the next 2nd Homes. Although I've not been there for quite long time,surely I miss the time I spent with some of them. However its also good to multiply, if not, we won't have new comer. Oh ya.. today we celebrated Ellie birthday as well.
That's all!

Typography Design

2009-09-15T11:37:00.000+08:00

I have this really cool assignment for my visual fundamental class. It is typography design. Found a lot of inspiration from Vandelay Blog : http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/design/photoshop-text-tutorials/ . Should really have a look in this web if you're interested in design using photoshop, illustrator, web design and many more. There's just too many things to learn in there.

One of my artwork (Learnt from Vandelay)

Tonight am gonna be an owl to finish this typography as I need to submit it tomorrow.... cry...

God is great!

2009-09-10T22:32:00.000+08:00

Now am back to my college. it's my 2nd year 1st sem now :) happy! I wanna praise God for answering my prayer. After praying for my ptptn for really long time and finally surrendering it to Him last tuesday in my church prayer meeting, God immediately given me the ptptn yesterday. Hehe.. I know that most people can get the ptptn very easily. but for my case, it's a different story.. I did a lot of mistakes during the application for it. i spent quite a lot of money on printing and photocopying the ptptn documents. and then i sent the document to the wrong place. and then i need to redo everything again.. When i compile everything right, i gave it to the counsellor in my college and i still need to wait for about 6 months again. while waiting i got complain from my some people because of my carelessness. i felt the tension of my desperation for ptptn. it is very tiring everytime i think of it. when i started this semester, it is also time to pay the fee. and i felt the tesion again. it takes away my energy and made me very tired because i was worried about it. And then on tuesday, my leader asked me to go for the prayer meeting. but i was really tired and don't feel like going. but then my leader is quite persistant. so end up following her. during the prayer meeting, i felt the need to surrender this ptptn burden in my heart. Once i did it, i felt more peaceful and lighter.. I felt that God spoke to me "Carrie, you gotta look beyond the ptptn. You have God of Provider."

Yup... I don't have to worry coz I got a God of Provider! :)

Holiday.................?

2009-07-30T21:21:00.000+08:00

I love Holiday! This time I'm having a longer break(1month).. Gonna rest as much as I can before the suffering semester come.

For the first few weeks, been spending with my family and Calvin. :) What else should I do?

Calvin gave me something really excited to do, design new buletin cover. But.... now no inspiration.. and my faithful companion Della is not with me :( I should've bring him along.Seriously need to use my time wisely. I'm learning guitar again! hehe.. I've learned one of my favourite song Bitter Heart by Zee Avi. She's incredible :) for 4 years her guitar took a back seat. But when she picked the instrument back up, who knows that she'd be flying to LA and record her new album.

You'll never know when opportunity knocks at your door.. I wonder what will be mine? :)

So much going on in one day

2009-07-13T20:34:00.000+08:00

Today i thought it was gonna be like any normal day.

This morning i didn't pass up my group project to lecturer on time. so the lecturer don't want to accept it. my group member was quite disappointed at me. I'm really sad about it too. I just hope that our grade will not be affected that much.

This afternoon, while I was playing Sims3 in my room. i got a sms from my sis. I was shocked with the sms. I never thought that my grandmom passed away so soon. i called and asked my sis about it.

When I was young i really loves hanging out with my grandma. but when i grew up, things changed, i was so caught up with my own life that i forgot when was the last time i visit her. If i could turn back the time, i wish that i could spend my time with her and share with her about Jesus.

After a while, i called my mom to check out whether she's alright. From the sound of her voice, i know that she's trying to hold back her cry. Things happen so sudden. I wish that i could go back home earlier to see my grandma for the last time...

Shoe!

2009-07-11T12:11:00.000+08:00

Yesterday

While searching for food at Asian Avenue, we went into a shop coz we saw a lot of sales in there. Guess what?! I found a Super cheap shoes! it's Rm19.90 only.. Cheap hor? At the same time i need this kind of shoes very much..

Rat-so-not-cute

2009-06-25T11:32:00.000+08:00

Rats!!!! i hate rats... This morning i opened my cabinet...found out that my rice and Hup Seng biscuits got some small holes. I know its the rats who ate my rice and Hup Seng biscuits.. i just bought them... haven't open it yet. But the rat just have to eat my stuff.. Argh!! I should've put all of it in a Super Big container! Should buy one of the Ikea chest box just like Silvia..

2009-06-07T16:37:00.000+08:00

This week is tiring but awesome! Tired of never ending stressful assignments and projects. But i'm still manage to handle it. I don't know why la.. I always procrastinate my works. Tonight i'll not sleep. hehe... drink more more coffee. hahahah... finish all the assignments at ONCE!

Yesterday, I went to eat at Ayam Penyet restaurant with my drama group friends. It's an indonesian cuisine. interesting and delicious. it's like a malay food. Got sambal. Some people use hand to eat it. I wanna try too but my finger nail are long.

Last night was the last night for Revo Conference. It was really pack. About 4oo people. Pastor Kenneth talks about Revival. It's amazing to see about 90% of people in the crowd responded to the altar call. God is really moving among young people. And we believe that Revolutionist will rise up in this generation.

Acts Church 2nd Album is OUT!! I bought it! :)

My photoshop final project

My Cat

It was really awkward today. i went to one of my friend house. she's Islam. so when i went into her house and saw her aunty and sister. i went toward them and shake their hand. i thought that was a manners that should be done just like what they show in tv. where they always salam people's hand as a manners. i loves my friend's house. she has a lot of pets especially CAT. i loves cat that manja manja me. sadly my own cat is not manja manja one.

I loves Matthew West song called 'motion'. it's really really touching. must listen! this is the link to listen(just click):
http://www.tangle.com/view_video.php?viewkey=c377c388df7477a84ec4

Matthew West The Motion Lyrics
This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions)
take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)
take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way (I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)
take me all the way (through the motions)
take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions

Brief updates of my life

O owww! Here comes the end of my sem 2, which also means sleepless night(mayb) coz have to finish plenty of final project. I can do it through Christ who strengthens me!

Been having a weird weather in KL. everyday sure got very hot sun and then suddenly rain heavily. is it like that in KK?

It felt like the thunder gonna hit me when i dry my clothes outside my house during the heavy rain.

Been having lots of hair fall. i'm getting bald soon! JK..

Been watching Friends on Youtube recently. quite nice the story. but very long eh the episode. not sure if can be faithful to finish o not.. hehe.. :)

God has been great and good in timing all the time. Rain often fall on the driest place on earth. Fall on me rain! :)

During Exploration Week

2009-03-12T22:15:00.000+08:00

I went to Malacca for my college field trip! It was rili great! enjoyed myself very much.

My very first time ate Rice Ball Chicken. I ate 5 ball of rice. it's rili filling and tasty! Very cheap also..

It was rili hot in Malacca. My friend and I were desperate for shade and cold drinks. So we find Cendol to eat. I'm not rili a cendol's fan, you know.. but in Malacca, the Cendol here is simply irresistable and I'm in love with it! I ordered a Mango cendol. it's only Rm 2.70. Ohya, don't forget about the asam laksa noodle. it taste rili nice pedas and asam. cukup rasa..

I get to eat all these nice foods is all because my friend, Danielle(the girl in green tshirt) stays in Malacca. so she knows where we can find all the nice food.

Besides, on the same day Calvin, Caleb, Silvia and I get to go to 'small' Genting! it was rili awesome! we get to see the whole KL.. it was rili a breath-taking view. very nice hor? :)

it's rili a memorable day! :) had 2 exciting trip on the same day.

Tshirt is easy to be bought but it's really not easy to be made. You have to think of creative design, budget, and target market and bla bla bla..

I'm not really satisfied with my tshirt design coz it looks so plain. I want to change it but it cost me a lot. That's why it's important to becareful in design so that you can save your money. One mistake, you will feel really miserable. You either choose to do it again by spending extra money or you just let it be and having the unsatisfied feeling inside of you. Well of course I choose the latter one, coz it's just a college project. I think it's not really that worth it to spend lots of money in it coz I'm not a really rich person. I rather learnt from my mistake and improve it in near future.

Do you know how much my tshirt cost??

Children tshirt: Rm 8.00

Transfer film: Rm 6.00

Printing cost: Rm 12.00

My profit(optional): Rm 2.00

--------------------------------

Total: Rm 28.00

--------------------------------

Hehe... low quality tshirt like mine also expensive leh. Oh one more thing! The Tshirt colour will be washed away once you wash it coz the printing is not the permanent one. If permanent one, it'll cost more.

So... appreciate the hardwork of the tshirt designer! :)

I'm a person who like a creatively plain tshirt. A tshirt doesn't look nice if you put every color or pictures in it. It'll look like a pile of garbage. But some of my classmate can make their design full with color and picture but still look neat. They're really amazing! :)

I love what I'm studying now, really! But I'm worried about my application for ptptn. Hopefully I can get it.. Please help me pray about it. :) I belive God will make a way. Just have to trust Him even more when it seems so hard..

Song of the day 'Lead me to the cross' by Hillsong United

My Desire

2009-01-20T12:05:00.000+08:00

My Desire by Jeremy Camp

You want to be real, you want to be empty inside
You want to be someone laying down your pride
You want to be someone someday
Then lay it all down before the king

You want to be whole, you want to have purpose inside
You want to have virtue and purify your mind

You want to be set free today
Then lay it all down before the king

This is my desire, this is my return
This is my desire to be used by you

You want to be real, you want to be empty inside
And I know my heart is to feel you near
And I know my life
It's to do your will
It's to do your will

All my life I have seen
Where you've take me
Beyond all I have hoped
And there's more left unseen

There's not much I can do to repay all you've done
So I give my hands to use

This song trully speaks what I'm feeling all this time. My desire is to do His will. My food is to do His will. No wonder I feel so empty inside lately..

But this morning when I do my devotion. I tried to spend time in praying and listen to Him. I believe that He spoke to me about loving Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. Oww Ok,God. And then when I went to the RBC website to do my devotion. it talks about Mark 12:31('love your neighbour as yourself,'). I was like 'wow! God, you're really speaking to me'. Ok... so I read through the words in the website. you know, sometime it's scary to listen to what God wants me to do. I guess because I'm afraid that God wants me to do things that I don't really want to do.. You Hear, You obey.. I will learn to listen to Him. After all, my purpose is to do His will, not mine.. :)

Our love for God is displayed by the way we love our neighbour. I love God and I know that we love God too. But does God feel loved by us if we only lives our life for ourself. Imagine if someone that you really love doesn't show to you his or her love for you. Wouldn't that make you sad. I know I did that a lot of time to God. I didn't really see Him as person whom I really loves. Sometimes, He's like a waiter to me. I come to Him just to order food from Him. This relationship is just like a customer and a waiter.

I want to be driven by what drives Christ, and be committed to what He is committed to—the needs of people.

I'm really excited in my second semester this year! coz there's one of the class assignment I really love to do. It is T-shirt design! I'm gonna design my own T-shirt with my own face printed one it. There are several that I really like.

I took about 11 hours to design 16 type of design for my t-shirt. It looks kinda simple right?? But it actually not as easy as it seems like. While I was working on my design, brainstorming creative idea, I thought my design gonna be really awesome and attractive. hehe... Who knows, when I reach the class, saw my classmates design...they are so awesomest! haiz...... i'm still very far behind. need to buck up more...

Below here are some of those that I really like:

if you guys have any tips for design or advice, do share with me k.. :) coz i really want to learn more and improve my design skill.if you guys have any tips for design or advice, do share with me k.. :) coz i really want to learn more and improve my design skill.

I’m really glad that I stayed very near to my college(5 mins to college). Why? Coz an absent-minded girl like me always forgot to bring certain important things ( books or pencil box or assignment that need to be handed up) to college. Last Tuesday was a DISASTER to me. I was late to class for about an hour. Why? Because I thought the class (at 10am) start at 11am. i wouldn't be late for that day if I’ve not mistaken the time the class start. I woke up at 8.30am, slowly enjoy my breakfast and prepare my cloths and things to bring to college. I only realised that I was late when I happen to bumped into one of my friends(Eugene) on the way to college. He looks quite surprise to see me. I think he kinda said we’re late. And I kept denying it. So while walking to college, I realised that I forgot to bring my assignment (which was suppose to hand up on that day). So I need to walk back home AGAIN. I had a lot of walk that day. Quite tiring. When I got into my class, I knew that I was super late. Everyone were so surprise to see me. I’m really glad that I manage to catch up the assignment that the lecturer gave us for that day.

Today we had History of Arts class. We watched a movie. It’s a really horrible movie. I don’t feel good while watching it. coz the movie shows the time during the domination of catholic church. It was really scary. And I don’t like the way the church works during that old time. While watching it, I have quite some thought. One, “I’m glad that I was not born in that time(really!)”. Second, “I hope the people who watched the movie won’t think that the church now is as horrible as the church in the movie”. after the movie, the lecturer told us that we’re gonna have exam in 2 weeks time. AHHHhhhh!! i haven't compile any notes yet!

2008-10-30T22:26:00.001+08:00

this week a lot of things happened.. some are good some are bad. last tuesday i went to arcade in Sunway Pyramid with a bunch of my friends after school.. hehe... it's been a really long time i didn't go to the arcade. the reason b'coz it waste my money and i will lose very fast one.. so it's not worth it. but that tuesday, i decided to join my friends coz they look very excited.. don wanna let them down, so i joined them. first i played the house of dead(new version).. the gun is SUPER heavy man.. i could build up muscle on my arms by playing it everyday.. after that, i played Dance Dance Revolution with my friends. at first i was a bit shy shy and don want to play. but after seeing how fun they played it, i also play la.. at first i looked like a lagging-dancing robot coz still don feel easy, alot of people looking.. but after some practice, i actually became better and conquered my fear of dancing infront of crowds. hehehe...

this afternoon, i decided to cook some manis manisan.. so i took out the glass pot(mom's favourite pot) from the cupboard. while taking it out, i............accidentally drop the glass cover of the pot. OHHH how'd i wish it never happened!!! mom gonna kill me............... :(

2008-10-21T23:33:00.000+08:00

Hey i'm still alive and no stomach ache after I ate my japanese tofu with expired minced beef.. hehe praise God! Today has been a good day... We had a Finished Art class today. We learned how to do pop up cards. It's really cool but it's difficult.. a lot of calculation and estimation need to be done. this is where i can apply what i've learned in mathematics during high school..

I am really bad at doing pop up cards. My lecturer gave us a piece of assignment and we need to do a pop up card of a house. I'm really bad in it.. because i did some mistakes while measuring and cutting the card. One mistake will require you to do it all over again.. i only manage to do it correctly when i did the 3rd time..

About my college, if you procrastinate, you'll be dead... coz assignment will never stop coming everyday except for saturday and sunday.. so far im still ok with all the assignment as long as i manage my time well.. I'm really amazed with one of my friend eleena( a really cute blondy girl who has quite same height with me in my class) because she can not sleep for the whole day just to finish her assignment.. haha... the reason is also because she loves to procrastinate.. and she'll add "yay" with it whenever she said the word "procrastinate".. haha... :)

that's all!

2008-10-20T19:36:00.000+08:00

Today, I decided to cook a Japanese tofu with minced beef. Happily I took out all the tofu and minced beef from the fridge. Then as I was opening the plastic that covered the beef, I checked out for the expiry date: 16 Oct 2008. Today is 20 Oct2008. (Argh...! How I wish it says 16 OCT 2009)
The minced cost is about RM 7.. I have thought of make a complain with the Jusco for not being responsible by putting out minced beef which almost expire. Then I tried to recall when did I bought the beef. Oh gosh.... I bought it on the 13 of Oct(which is the manufactured date). So I can’t complain about it with the Jusco. It’s my fault.. *cry cry* . should’ve ate it earlier.. sayang la my $$$.. Sadly I look to the beef...
Then I decided to give it a try(cook it with the Japanese tofu as I have mentioned it).. who knows I won’t have stomach ache after eating it. So I cut ¼ of the minced beef. And the left over I put it into the fridge. Planning to cook it with spaghetti spaghetti the following days continuosly..
So I cook cook cook. Woah.. it looks so nice. Carrie’s Japanese tofu with expired minced beef! Well actually as I was cooking it, I can actually smell a weird odour from my food. But but but..... it’s RM 7 minced beef. I can’t just throw it away. I actually had thought of asking my mom “ mom..... the minced beef which I had bought expired. What should I do ah?”.. Of course any mother would say just throw it away. So no need to ask la...
So I brought my food into my room. And say grace hoping that I’m still alive after I ate my ‘risky food’. The tofu taste nice but........ the minced beef taste absolutely not nice. It has the sour flavour in it. Not wanting to waste all my hard work of preparing it. I forced myself to eat all of it. After that I took out the remaining minced beef from the fridge and throw it away....... *cry cry*

Lesson for today:
1.Always checked the expiry date of any food or drink before you buy it.
2.Never buy a minced beef and cook it after 4 days. It normally can only last for 4 days.

*Don't worry about trying my foods. surely i won't cook for you food that has already expired..* :P

have a great day!

Just a short update about today.

Today rain AGAIN.. I was in my Figure Studies class. And AGAIN I forgot to bring my umbrella. Thank God that it stopped when I’ve finished my class. Lately it has been raining a lot la.. Last Tuesday, rain a bit, so I took the chance to run back home asap after class and praying that the rain will not rain heavily as I was on my way. Unfortunately, it rained heavily when I was about 2 metre from my house. Then it got me thinking that, “hey, when was the last time I got this wet by the rain?”.. then I stupidly took a slow walk around my house compound while raining. Since I’m wet already, why bother take some time enjoying the rain drop.. Hehe.. If I were at home doing this, my mom would be shouting and dragging me into the house.

Friends in my class is very very different than my high school’s friends. Some of them are very open and their words sometimes need to be censored. But they’re really a friendly and helpful and crazy.

Today, when I got home, the 1st thing I did was to wash my dishes that I put last night. And then I went to wash away the dead rat which the stupid cat caught and left it near the kitchen compound. The smell is extremely awful.

Tonight my random dinner was Cheezels, mango and tomato. No time to cook coz finish school at 6pm and a bit tired... Actually I plan to eat oatmeal.. hehe healthy ma.. But end up eating the 3 things coz Cheezels almost ‘finish air’, mango almost rosak and tomato is because don’t want to sayang it after I have cut it open to sketch for my assignment. For the sake of not to sayang it, they became my dinner.. Hehe.. :P

Up--------->date!

2008-09-23T23:04:00.000+08:00

Hey I guess it's updating time.. Haha.. :)

It's my 27th day in KL already. I'm still fine and healthy and alive! Thank God! :) For this few weeks, everything is normal.. Eat sleep assignment and visiting churches. Everything is different now. Have to do everything on my own(Wash cloths, cook food and clean room). I've been disciplining myself to fold my blanket lately. Haha. normally my kakak would do that for me when I was in KK.. I miss home...

I love my college.. I love the courses.. I learn how to draw and how to cut, paste and fold paper and other stuff.. Everything is practical but it consume a lot of time to finish it. I've been spending quiet a lot of money for my courses.. Coz need to buy a lot of art material..

My class got a lot of bananna people. They speak very good english.. I had 2 friends. They're the closest one to me among my other classmates. Oh yah.. There's one sabahan in my class too.. :)
My housemates and roomate are good. They're really friendly.. :)

I've been visiting churches.. Hope to settle in one of the churches soon.. I miss Eklektos..
Now, I"m painting picture, which is one of my assignment. still haven't finish.. This thursday need to hand up..

update will come again.. soon.... I hope?? :P

2008-07-10T06:49:00.000+08:00

I’m SUPER EARLY today!!

I just came back from seeing Daphnee at the airport Air Asia. At first, she don’t want me to go, I think coz she gonna check in soon that’s why.. I was about to give up on seeing her at the airport and to continue my sleep. But after second thought, I think it’s better to TRY to see her at the airport even though she might be going in anytime. Better than not trying right?

As I was on my way to the airport, with low petrol, limited time…. I find out that I got the wrong junction and was on the way to the other airport!! I got so nervous b’coz never see that road before. Trying to find my U Turn all the way. THANK GOD here is not KL.. =P

At last I got to see Daphnee at the airport!! Managed to give her the gift.. Haha.. Wanna wait till she check in but she don’t want coz might cry.. Haha.. Timothy is SOO funny. He gave her a tissue along with his goodbye card for her, saying that if she ever want to cry, just use the tissue.. Haha.. =D

As I was on my way home, I got a wrong junction AGAIN!! Petrol almost finish AND now I got a wrong junction AGAIN??? You might be thinking why don’t I just pump more petrol at the gas station. I’ve thought of that.. BUT I don’t know which one should I use… Petrol? Diesel? Or the purple colour one? I really don’t know!! Funny… Petrol is the source of car’s life, and I still don’t know which one is the right one…… So… I tried to call my brother and asked him about it. But he didn’t pick up. I guess he’s still sleeping.. Then I tried to call my dad, but he’s still sleeping.

So I continued my way back home, praying for God to sustain my car’s petrol.. God really did help me.. The moment I reach my house gate, the ‘empty petrol’ light just turn on… Haha.. Thank God for everything.

Along my way back home, I remembered the story in the Habitudes. It’s about the author was on a trip with low petrol and in the end, he ended up ran out of gas and had to pushed the car to the nearest gas station.. I was about in the same situation as him but thank God that I didn’t ended up to pushed my car to the nearest gas station.

I learnt a lot of lesson from this experience and it also applied to our walk with the Lord.. But no time to explain now.. I’m hungry and it’s early! Have a GOOD Day~ =D

Chef Carrie

2008-06-19T13:34:00.000+08:00

This morning I woke up at 10.30am… But still a bit sleepy, so I took a BIT of sleep again. Then when I woke up it was 10.55am. I really must wake up coz need to cook a meal for my sister. I need to cook rice and some vegetable with prawn and eggs. It was my very first time to cook a meal like that for my own. I cooked all those food with my newly bought induction cooker. I was not so good at using the machine, almost burn my egg coz de heat is too extreme. Then I cooked my vegetable with prawn. It looks really nice. But it taste kindaaa too salty coz I added too much salt. My sister didn’t want to eat the food that I cooked coz my mom bought matapak for her. Hmmph.. My mom gave me 40 marks over 100 marks for my cooking skill and my management skill in preparing and cleaning all the food and cooking utensils. Not bad la 40 marks.. Still got so much more too improve.

Hmm.. Now wondering what to do later. Read book? Ok.. Read book la. Need to prepare for my coming English test at The One Academy, which is next Thursday. Still got 2 months of holiday for me before going to college. I’m gonna use it to Da Fullest!!

The Story of Carrie

2008-06-18T17:11:00.000+08:00

The One & Only reason that I’m alive today is because of He who died for me

Carrie has always been timid, unforgiving, bitter and selfish girl. Since young, she has always been a Christian. She knows who Jesus and God is, she knows the story of Jesus. But she didn’t know who God really is and He’s always been a stranger to Carrie. Weird as it is, Carrie has been to a Chinese Sunday school and she didn’t understand Chinese language that well and didn’t know how to read Chinese words. She’d been there for about 6 years, but still she never knew truly who Jesus is!

Carrie often come to church only when she felt insecure and need peace. She knew that there was something about church and God- it gives her comfort and peace. When Carrie was primary 6, every night before she went to sleep, she always prayed that God would bring her to a suitable church where she can grow well. For about 3 years, Carrie have been attending 2 churches- one is the church that his brother attend to, another one is her elder sister attend to. However Carrie still felt that both are not the suitable church.

When she was Form 3, God began to answer Carrie’s prayer. Surely God is faithful! With a divine connection, God uses 3 friends from Eklektos church to bring her to that suitable church which she has been waiting for the past 3 years. Slowly Carrie began to grow a lot in this church and she met God personally in her life. She no longer knew God through her brain, she knew God through her heart.

Carrie’s life has change ever since that day she encountered God’s love. She no longer afraid of dark, no longer unforgiving, no longer timid and her life changed so much! God became so real in her life that she knows she can’t live without Him. She became active in church and there's so much more that she needs to grow. With God in her life, she knows that life will never be the same. It'll be great and amazing!

I will ever testify Your greatness and love in my life, O Lord!

Made simple song~

2008-06-12T18:22:00.000+08:00

Why aren’t you available?
Time is unforgiving
Once it goes never come back
Use it well, don’t miss it
It’s a gold, fully use it
Don’t throw it to the sea

I see the clock ticks ticks ticks
Being stuck in this same thing
Over and over again
Eat sleep school tv toilet
Why aren’t you moving?

You’re still here?
You need to go on
Where is the road to there?
I need direction
I need Your hand

Where is my future
“It’s in My hand” You said
Where is my joy
“It’s in Me” You said
Why do I live
“Because I live” You said
Who am I
“You are Carrie, my child” You said
Why do you love me
“Coz you’re preacious to Me” You said

Time is precious.. Gonna create a GREAT and ADVENTUROUS memory of You and I, my Lord…

Hehe… Like a psalmist huh?? Not bad not bad….. =P

2008-06-09T15:01:00.001+08:00

Busy Busy Busy

2008-05-16T23:17:00.000+08:00

You think the olden days are relaxing and very free? Think again.. They don't have that much good gadgets as we do.. Cook their food? They have to go to cut some woods, burn the fire, hunt for their food and make sure they finish their works before its dark. Not like us now. We just to turn on the fire and there we have our food or we can even go out and 'ta pau'. For them to travel some places, it would take them 2 or 3 days.. Whereas we should only take hours to travel some far places..

I used to think that, " Ha.. It would be easier for me to spend time with God if I were in Abraham's time or David's time..".. Actually it's not true.. They could be as busy as us, or even more busier than us.

Haha.. Yalor... You can never be busier than God. It's priority that matters the most.

This week been trying to spend time with God at least 5 minutes just to talk to Him early in the morning.. I failed to do that several times. But still trying my best.. Haiz.. The good weather bah.. Aiks... Blame the weather.. Hehe.. =P

Psalm 130:5-6

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,

and in his word I put my hope.
My soul waits for the Lord

more than watchmen wait for the morning,

more than watchmen wait for the morning.

Psalm5:3

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;

in the morning I lay my requests before you

and wait in expectation.

Can give me my P license now????

2008-05-13T19:38:00.000+08:00

WOOooohoooOOO!!

I pass my driving test!! Haha... Can't really express how I'm feeling that time when I did it...

Here's what happen before, throughout and after the test:

Before
Keep practice the hill using my brother's car. Then got scolded by aunty coz cannot use outside car to drive inside there. But... I did it quite a lot already the past few days. No one scold also... =P Hehe I actually don't need to pay Rm 150, only need to pay Rm 110.. Actually the Rm40 is the aunty plus in one coz if use her car for last minute practice before the test, need to pay to her.. Very good in counting huh... Haha..

During
Waited for about 4 hours then it's my turn to drive up the hill. During the waiting time, I keep sing the song I can do all things through Christ.. Haha not quite remember how it sounds like but I kept singing it.. Go up the hill, in the yellow line, then the examiner ask me 'ok kah?', 'Ok'.. Haha.. Then the next thing I remember is I passed! So unbelievable....... Only after the hill, my 70% tension fade away.. Left 30% for the side parking and tiga penjuru.. Haha.. =)

After
I can't help but keep smiling after all the test.. Remembered all the anxious feeling that I had before the test.. It' really really a relieve to me after the test..

Thank you for all of you for giving me a lot of encouragement.. It really help a lot.. Actually the day before the test, I got really worried and discourage by someone.. But now it's OK.. Haha..=D

Be Happy In a Bad Day?

2008-04-23T08:17:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, a lots of bad stuff happened to me..

I began to wonder "Is God trying to tell me something or what?". The funny thing is yesterday morning we, church staff, were having our devotional time and we talked about praising God in difficult situation. I tend to forget praising God in difficult situation. What I usually do is to cry out to Him and asking Him why why why..

5.10pm, time to go home.. I followed Aunt Annie's car. We tried to close the big gate but it just wouldn't move. So I went in to the foyer and tried to press the gate control button, STILL wouldn't move. So we gave up in closing the gate. While I'm trying to lock the foyer door, my key BROKE! It's either because I'm too strong after working out in the gym last monday or the key is old already.. I don't know...

Then, at home watch a movie called 'The Pursuit of Happiness'. It's really a nice movie.. But half way watching it, I heard ' Owhh owh Owhh....' It's my dog.. Went out of the house to see what's going on with him. Ha! As I have expected, he failed to go out through the fence and got his leg stuck on it while his body swinging in the air.. Afraid that his leg would be broken, I quickly rushed out to save him. Never thought of my safety while saving him, I got bitten by him. So much for being a hero to him!

After saving him, went back to the house and cry.. Haha.. =P As I was bathing before, I was reminded about what Aunt Annie shared about praising God in difficult situation. Oh.... So this is the difficult situation that I should learn to praise Him.. Haha.. Ya..

Praise God that my wrist is not broken!

Praise God for a family that can help and comfort you in difficult time!

Thanks for Everything!

Difference for that ONE not ALL

The Starfish Story,Original Story by: Loren Eisley

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking
something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he
asked, “What are you doing?”

The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and
the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”“Son,” the man said,
“don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish?
You can’t make a difference!”

After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and
threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…”I made a
difference for that one.”

Last saturday night, with my headache, trying to sleep, I've thought about the issue of caring and loving others. There's too many people to care for in this world!! What difference would it be made if I can only care for few people? It might not make a difference to the whole world but it would make a difference for that person that we care for. Show your love and care for people especially your family.. Don't delay or not caring for people just because we thought we can't make a difference to the whole world. We can make a difference by the little things that we do. We reap what we sow.. Sowing takes forever!! But when the fruits of it reaps, you'll find that all the sowing and waiting is worth it... Look forward to the day when your fruits reap. Yup keep dreaming and focus on your dream!!

Make a difference for that ONE not ALL!!

My Good Good Dad..

2008-04-09T22:11:00.000+08:00

“Hey don’t worry, I’ll handle all this things”

This ‘word’ that I heard from my dad really open up my mind about who God is..

Last week I’ve been worrying about whether to study at TOA or not because of certain reason.. After worrying about it and doing something about it for two or three days(I think), my dad told me this ‘word’.. It sort of relives me somehow.

Luke 11:11-13 (“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for a egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”)

Even my earthly father know how to give good things to me, how much more my Father in heaven will? Don’t be blinded by the lies of the devil. God loves to gives good gift to us.. God's image in our mind is really important because it'll affect how we relate to Him.. Last time, I used to not letting God knows what I want because I thought that He wouldn't give me what I want. Thinking that God doesn't give us what we wants is actually lies from the devil.Sometimes God will not give us what we wants straight away. He has certain reasons for it such as 'you're not ready for it', 'there's better one for you' or 'i think that's not good for you'..

Lord You Are Good!

Mirror Mirror Who is Beautiful??

2008-03-26T16:24:00.000+08:00

Beautiful by Ross Parsley

The sun pales compared to You
the stars shine to worship You
but You want what I can bring
so I am the offering

Oh how amazing
love beyond explaining

You are beautiful
ever merciful, great and glorious
Indescribable in Your majesty
all too wonderful for my eyes to see
You are beautiful

Your face is all I seek
and Your gaze will always be
my treasure and my reward
the one thing I'm living for

You are beautiful
You are beautiful
You are beautiful in Your holiness

Don't you think that God is beautiful?? I think He is although I never see His real face before. I love Him for who He is. He's EVERYTHING.. He's beautiful for who He is.

In Genesis 1:27 (So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.)

This verse is really so wonderful.. Everyone in this world is created in God's image, which also means that we are beautiful! If God is so beautiful, then His son and daughter are beautiful too. God create you and I in His image.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!! Ya, You, I'm talking to you..

Scorpion!!

2008-03-19T21:50:00.000+08:00

I found a baby scorpion this morning! Where did I found it?? It dropped off from my jeans (while I'm wearing it!!) Thank God it didn't bite me.. Insects could be the most dangerous creature, I think, because they can hide wherever they want to and then attack you instantly.. I had quite a lot of encounter with insects especially COCKROACH! But ain't gonna share about it here..

I''m really thankful that the little scorpion didn't bite me.. Too bad I have to kill it in order to prevent it from hurting other people. Haha... I guess I understand why some animal would attack us even when we don't have the intention to hurt them. They would do anything to protect their family.

Tata... By the way, tomorrow is holiday!! Hehe~

Today I went for my second driving lesson.. It was quite exhausting.. Wishing that I could go back to Kyrugma sooner to continue my work. During my diving lesson, the car engine die infront of the traffic light (‘honned’ by car behind).

By the way, I also got a phone call from ‘The One Academy’. They said that they have received my application form and informing that I had to take an English exam before I can be fully accepted by the college.. Now I’m waiting for my scholarship.. I heard that I have to be interviewed by them if they accept me.. I’m SO NOT good in being interviewed!! Hopefully I can get through this…

Today I reached home at 5pm.. I watch a movie in HBO, I think. I don’t know what movie it is but I just watch it.. The movie is almost end when I watched it. From this movie, I learnt to know what we want. Sometimes it’s so easy for us to just say ‘I don’t know.. You decide’.. Haha.. For me, I tend to say this words because of my laziness to think.

Oh…. I’m so happy today!!!! I found my MP3… I really miss it SOOoo much.. I lost it 3 months ago.. Oh yah, you might want to know where I found it.. Actually when I reached home my mom was cleaning the shoe cupboard.. She found it while cleaning it.. It was in a plastic with my pair of high-hill shoe.. I’m soo so glad that my mom found it… Haha… During this 3 months, I realized that when you lost something , you will start to appreciate the thing.. I learned to not take things for granted.. Thank you Lord!!

Continue Driving Experience 1

2008-03-11T16:21:00.000+08:00

Ok.. Haha back to my driving experience. My driving instructor was waiting for me at church sanctuary. So I walked from Kyrugma to there. As I approached her car, i saw that she was sitting at the passenger sit. I was quite surprise! She asked me to drive in the real traffic all the way to Tuaran.. I was like 'huh???'. I was really nervous that time.. But I just kept on driving. Thank God that I didn't 'bang' someone or saw anyone I know..
Pheww.....Oh yah, it was also raining that time..

When I reached that driving place, I found out that I my leg got bit cramp because I stiffened it while pressing and releasing the fuel paddle.. I guess too nervous gua... It's really a good experience. This was my first driving lesson. I learned how to do the 'tiga penjuru something something'. It was really cool. At first it was really fun, but after a long hour of practicing it, I got tired and don't really wanna do it anymore. Haha.. Then I also drive the car back to Kyrugma.. This time she didn't hold my stering. Got la but not that much compare when I just started to drive. Hehe.. By the way, she's not fierce.. Thanks God! Hopefully she'll be like this all the way till I finished my lessons with her.

My next lesson will be next Tuesday! Haha... =) Night Gotta sleep now because my eyes is REALLY REALLY heavy now.......... Night!

My driving experience 1

2008-03-11T13:10:00.000+08:00

I'm gonna learn driving later!! Hehe... So excited! Last night when I was on my bed preparing to sleep, I kept on imagine myself practicing driving.. Imagining that myself is very good with it.. Haha.. Carrie over confident about it.. Not gooooood... Gonna update my driving experience later ya.. Hopefully the driving instructor is not fierce.. Lord, please give me a good skill in driving.. Haha... =)

2008-03-09T17:48:00.000+08:00

Last night was having a headache. Not feeling very well. When reach home, I quickly eat a panadol pill. Can’t stand the pain.. After I ate my panadol, I went to the living room and sat beside my mom. She tried to help me relieve my headache by pulling and releasing my hair. Haha.. It helped a little I guess...

Then I went back to my room to sleep. My sister was sleeping.. I don’t know how long she slept. I guess she was too exhausted because she stayed up the whole day since 5.15am to 4pm.. This remind me when I was doing the sim city game. I stayed up since 7.135am till 11pm. I’m really quite surprised that I can stayed up that long. Normally I would be hit with a headache if I didn't get enough sleep. Hehe I’m sure it’s God amazing super strength that helped me that time..

Just now went to shopping with my mom at city mall. We bought 2 boxes of donut at Big Apple Donut. We then brought it to Yogur Berry and we ate our donut and yogurt ice cream. While we’re eating the donut, we messed ourself up because the donut liquid is TOO much. It kept dripping here and there. My mom kept complaining that the liquid should not be too much and the bun should be bigger. I agree with what she said. Hehe...

That's All! =)

2008-03-05T17:46:00.000+08:00

Why people continue to do things that would hurt them? Why they don't let other people to help them? Is it because of pride? Why ??? I don't know what I can do anymore... I can only watch *** continuing the things that would hurt ***. I rebuked *** but *** don't listen to me. Saying everything to defend ***self. I want to rebuked *** once more but afraid that will ruin our relationship. I can only silently watching *** suffer.

O Lord I pray that You would help ***. Speak to ***. I can speak no more.. I'm aware that I can't do things on my own. I can only depend You O Lord Almighty... Thank You Lord..

2008-02-28T10:57:00.000+08:00

Morning World!! Sorry trees... For using you too much.. Last two days I was working on the lyrics book.. Doing all the printing and photocopying.. End up using too much paper.. I never use that much papers in my whole life. Hopefully the lyrics book that I have finished don't have anymore mistakes.. Even if it has, let it be one or two mistakes.

Last night while I was reading the Blueprint in my room, my mom suddenly came in and talk with me.. Actually I don't really want to talk, so as she was talking to me, I kept on reading my book. Then, in a while, I felt that there's voice telling me to listen to my mom. So I obeyed the voice. Looking at her and really listen to her although I have heard her stories for thousands times already. Although I don't really want to do it, but I felt that's the right thing to do.. I can see why the voice telling me to do that. I think maybe my mom wants my attention.

I learned some people needs our attention, and we need to be sensitive with it. If we're not careful with it, we might end up leaving them feeling rejected. Parents need our attention too. Although they didn't really mention it, but the way they approach are telling us that they wants our attention on them, not only our ears but also our eyes and heart.

IF I end up choosing not to obey the voice that tell me to listen to my mom, what would my mom feel? I supposed she'll feel rejected. But I'm glad that I did listen to her.I'm still learning to listen to her. But sometimes I like to say" I know I knowww.." in a way that she don't like it. This eventually cut off my conversation with her and me putting a fence around me with a sign saying "Talk to the hand". I have to learn to say those words lesser... Haha.. Carrie stop saying "I know I knowww...."

Last night I read the blueprint, Jaeson Ma taught me a lot about the Holy Spirit. He is our best friend, a person with emotions and feelings, He brings God's presence and many more. Haha last night I also took the step to talk to the Holy Spirit telling Him " I love You Holy Spirit. I want to know you more." It felt a bit weird because it's like talking to myself. But I know that He is listening. So last night I kept on talking to the Holy Spirit. Just like everytime when you meet a new people, you would first introduced yourself and then start chatting with the person. I did that with the Holy Spirit. Haha.. I told Him " Hi Holy Spirit.. My name is Carrie Chin. I'm 17 years old. My passion is to see more and more young people to rise up for Your name in Malaysia. My weaknest is this and this.. I pray that You would transform me to be more and more like Jesus. Thank You!"

When I was sleeping I sort of felt something inside me is comforted. Then tears began to rolled down my cheeks. Don't know why.. I was reminded that our body is the House of God. And that God live in us and He is taking control of us. How GREAT it is to know that there's a BIG and AWESOME God living inside us..

But at the same time I'm still concerned about my blog in Xanga.. It's hard for me to let go of it..... Haha... Never mind la..
