Reward

God will bless the work of His children's hands.
So, work!
Don't be lazy, and don't take for granted.

After that, commit every outcome into His hand.
The colours of the light (green, red or yellow) in your situation depends on Him.
Go! And we go.
Stop! We better not go this way.
Wait! We wait and we pray. (That's the BEST time to pray!)

Whatever the outcomes and results are, because we have already entrusted God to take care and provide, He IS doing it. Ask and BELIEVE. It's a done deal.

Being God's child is so wonderful. We can walk boldly and stand tall in storms, in rain, whatever the 'weather' is, and we know we have the victory. Christ, is the victory. There, we find HOPE, love and peace.

Hope

Just a small town girl.
Just a small heart for God.
But by God's grace and big love, He is showing me what He can do by bringing people to me.

I received a huge blow this week that I almost couldn't make it to Berklee due to financial issues. Immediately, my mind was working hard in search for alternatives like... teaching English in Korea and learn the Korean language and culture, and perhaps take up courses on wedding and events planning. These are my second best that I can ever come up with, and I would think that I'm gonna enjoy them.

But deep down, my love for music burns and I long to be a film scorer. However, at the back of my mind, logic thinking took over me and threw me a conversation, saying : "Do I really want my dad to invest so much in this education? After all it's just a cert, a degree. But I long for the exposure and experience studying in an elite college, Berklee, like the Harvard for all law students. But lets come back to reality, the film industry has high competitors and maybe I'll just give up trying. After all, this industry is dominated by men. Is it worth the money?" I even looked for other colleges who offer film scoring program, but they also cost a lot.

Nevertheless, I was stubborn enough not to give up my hope on God. Holding onto God is the only thing I can do, only hope left for me to cling on. I didn't know what else to do! This is because I believe that in times like this, He wouldn't abandon me. He is real and He CAN do miracles.

To be sure of what I should do, I seek for confirmation by asking God to give me His peace. That peace, indescribable one, immediately gripped me with steadiness, despite what the present looks like. Now is the time to put faith into action. Now is the time I'm gonna witness a financial miracle in my education. Of course, I also applied for scholarships, not sitting down and just pray. There's always the balance in doing something. Pray and take action. Commit all these things into God's hand, sit back, watch and be in awe of what He can do.

I believe that what had happened this week is also to remind me that going to Berklee is by God's grace too. It taught me to appreciate and value this opportunity.

Aisehh

Brutherrr! Keep up the good job.
Lots of lovesss.
:D

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Tim 4:12

*Saw a test paper (who else could it be hahah) simply left of the coffee table and I decided to stalk his school stuffs :P

Family (Part Two)

This is also my family!

On Valentine's Day, I spent my time with my Singaporean family, my family and then headed back to Malaysia that evening for Thursday practice at church.

So, all in all I got to chill with ALL my loved ones- the Singaporeans, my family, HIS church, including JC :D

Mei Mei in Cheong Sam! Adeline is like the cutest baby everr!

Elise is as cool as the bass. Better don't mess with her hahah!

Hope is like... the dai ga jie of all the boys. You don't mess with her also :P
That's Noah, her brother behind.

This CNY celebration, I got the honour to play for Mr.Greg Yoon, renown Korean tenor vocalist. Man, his testimony is so heart warming.

Never in my wildest dream I dreamt of playing with an international artist and this, glory definitely goes to God.

Without His help, I wouldn't be able to finish practicing 6 songs in a day before the performances at HIS Church and I-City.

HIS Church brothers and sisters in Christ has taught me so much especially to think more of others and less of myself, to encourage each other with words, text messages, whatsapp, cards, and whatever not you could think of ways, creative ones to appreciate each other. In other words, to LOVE unconditionally. I've learnt also to pray in the spirit together. And of course, in and out, there are many other things I've picked up along the way learning from each other.

I also remember my two old buddies, Angel and Addison, taught me to be a better person too when I was with them. They showed me how to be truthful to myself, to love a person despite what he/she is and humility.

Grateful, really, for all these people whom I call them friends, bro and sis.

This love month of February made me realized how much I treasure them in my heart.

Family (part one)

My Ayi sent me and my sister this on whatsapp :D

CNY season and the lovey dovey Valentine's Day have come to past. Well, almost, for the CNY season. We have a total of 15 days to celebrate this Chinese Lunar New Year every year.

Every year is a better year. Ain't it?

I noticed this year's celebration is a little different. What made me super contented and happy is that I actually spent all my time with ALL my loved ones. This is only part one.

The Singaporeans whom I dearly love most.

Monkey faces

Dillon : My bubblegum, finally!

You gota' love these three adorable musketeers :P

The long awaited baby prince Wafrie

Stylo Mylo

Gotcha! "Homework" ehh?

Later, we left for Singapore with the Singaporeans on a spontaneous, last minute trip.

Sooo windy !

And of course, the crazy hours and hours of watching Hong Kong dramas, series and movies.

I just read the subtitles :P

Part two coming up!

Little Rain

Today's a cooling day to laze outside and read a book.
I love this weather.
My feet are icy cold and I look for socks to put them on!

:D

Sunday 4pm is the best time for a person to write. Especially, when it's after a rainy weather. I can hear the insects cooling off, washing machine going on at the back of my house, my sister helping bro with some solutions, mom and dad outside working in the garden. So, I write now.

This morning service at HIS Church was a personal one today. Everyone gave their hearts and lives once again for kingdom work- God's. Encouraged, really, by the response of the congregation. That special moment (well at least, to me), I know that I'm not alone walking on this path. I chose that. So did the lady who sat beside (beside, beside, and more beside :P) me, and those youngsters in front of me.

I've been self centered many times. Always asking God to do this for ME, do that for ME, everything is about me, me and ME; helping me. It's selfish of me not to share with people about how real this God is, the burden of serving Him is light, about His grace and salvation and how big, loving, caring, faithful and so so loving most of all, even when I made mistakes and screwed things up, He does not give up on me. He fixes things! All things are possible with God.

This God is too big for us to fit Him inside a box.

Geddit? :D

If I think about something so impossible, it's possible for Him; If I think that it's a dead end, He'll get me out of there; If I think that this is all I have right now, oh yeah, bet sure that He's gonna give me MORE than enough! He gives abundantly! How do I know about all these things? It happened 2000 years ago, which was recorded in a book. That book contains 66 books in it, divided into two main sections, both awesome and inspiring stories in it. It's a treasure.

I look forward to the day, when He comes back to get me out of here, and bring me along to where He lives, where He has prepared a mansion for me, far more magnificent home than I can imagine with my physical mind. And I stay in a neighbourhood with all my brothers and sisters in Christ who gave their hearts and lives and live for the One in this temporary world. No riches of this world can compare with that of in Heaven. Now, when I hold on to this dream, even when you think that I'm crazily insane with this impossible and non sensible dream, look up in that book, it's real, and holding on to this dream is the ultimate of the ultimate one for me. It's just that we can't see it now, doesn't mean that it's not real. Just like we don't see the wind, doesn't mean that it does not exist.

How incredible it is for the new time to come.

Why did I make up my mind to trust this God, gave Him my heart and life? Was it because He was the God of my family? Was it because I was born in a Christian family? Was it because I had to because my parents said so?

Experiences with Him have changed me. From there, I know that a God SO REAL, loving and true is there looking after me. I can freely depend on Him with my needs, to love and be loved unconditionally.

Why should I trust Him? People robbed my dreams, hopes and eventually trust, and filled me with disappointment along the way, as I grow up. A person is different 10 years ago- His thinking, maturity, behaviour whatever not. Today, he's another person. I bet in 10 years time, he's another man. But God is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever and ever even after I die here. So whyy SHOULDN'T I trust Him? Why shouldn't I believe that He's a great person, a trustworthy friend, a loving father, a Protector, a Provider and all the awesome characters we name and nobody else is like Him, who is faithful and just? He is who He is. Nobody can change Him.

And to think that He has redeemed my soul, of what He did for me, the significant of that cross, totally saved my life, no one can do that but only the Son of God.

Life is never the same again, pointless, aimless and indecisive when I decided to serve and honour Him. I only have ONE time to live (not like fluffy cats with 9 lives :P).

Live not just for myself, but to tell others about my life testimonies, how God guided me, talk to me and love me even when I'm so unworthy. Life will never be the same again because I've found the purpose and meaning of it when I opened up myself to Jesus. There's more to look forward to than here, the temporary riches on Earth. There's more, there's MORE! :D Dig deeper, dig into the right place and there we'll find gold and wealth far more than the weight of it in this world.
