Quote from Paulo Coelho

Joy is sometimes a blessing, but it is often a conquest.
Our magic moment helps us to change and send us off in search of our dreams.
Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and we wil experience many disapointments-
but all this transitory; it leaves no permanent mark.
And one day we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken.

Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.
Perhaps this person will never be dissapointed or disillusioned;
perhaps she won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow.
But when that person looks back - and at some point everyone looks back -
she will hear her heart saying,
"What have you done with the miracles that God planted in your days?
What have you done with talents God bestowed on you?
You buried yourself in a cave because you were fearful of losing those talents.
So, this is your heritage: the certainty that you wasted your life."

Awake from hibernation...

Woaahh... I haven't writen for ages!! Actually, there are a lot of things happened that I could have writen, but time and mood did not allow me to write.. hehe.. I am back!!
So, what has been happening since the last time I write??

First, I managed to finish my exams well, eventhough I fell sick for several days between my second and third exam. I called mum almost everyday and she told me to relax and have fun instead of study.. lol!! Mum is wonderful.. I'm waiting for the result now.. During exam weeks itself, God taught me to trust in him. Because of my sickness I was afraid that I wasn't able to finish my study, indeed I finished it and the exam was not as horrible as I thought..ups not that it was easy, but God gave me strength and memory to answered the questions. I learnt that God was so good to me and he was faithful to me during that time.

Secondly, God showed his other kindness to me through job that he granted me straight after I finished my exams. I am currently working in OCGGI sushi and waiting for another 1 or 2 jobs to come. Hopefully can hear from them this week.

Last weekend, I managed to get to SLC, thanks for those who made me there; transport, funding, support and encouragement. It was a short one, but I was glad to see brothers and sisters there, especially Shirley.. She is going back for good to Malaysia after finishing her 2 years exchange programme. I'm gonna miss you sister.

Oh yea, for summer, I am moving to an OCF friend's flat. In our flat, there are a Chinese, a Tongan, a Kiwi and an Indonesian.. such a diverse.. and we have 2 Michelles.. yay!! Keep on moving flat does make me feel tired physically and mentally (due to new adaptation), but there are things to learn from each and I believe that God is teaching me wherever I go and I know that He always be with me.

Fiuh.. this is just the beginning of the summer holiday, but somehow I feel tired.. I haven't started studying for two papers that I have promised to study. I hope that I get certainty of work and everything soon so that I could start rearranging my timetable and settling down..

Yes, this is summer.. and something is lacking from my life; my city, malls, cinemas, cafes, ice skating, my house, my cars, my bed, my dogs' barking, my housekeeper, my friends, my language, my mum's cooking, my dad's joke, my sister silliness and my brother's new places invention, and my mum's hug...
