Timing
Joseph worked hard to gather food in the seven plentiful years, getting ready for the next seven famine years. He was in charge of the food section. He got ready and was busy preparing him and his country for the famine. In those seven plentiful years, he stored up grain in great abundance.
Later when the time came for the seven years of famine, Joseph opened all the store house (BAM!) and everyone came to him to buy grain. In fact, the whole world came to him because the famine was too severe. He sold them grains.
**
(Queen) Esther took a year, to beautify herself- 6 months with oil and myrrh and six months with spices and ointments. During that waiting period, she kept herself ready, preparing herself to see the king.
***
At this point, I am seeing so many of my friends achieving and accomplishing bigg things. It's their timing. As for me, I am really happy for each and every one of them because God loves them and His favour is with them too. It's because they too, have dedicated their lives to God, serving God whole heartedly, working hard, showing sincere and genuine love to people, set themselves apart from the things of the world and be holy be useful for God. So God sees their heart. In good times and not so good times, both remained faithful to each other. But God is faithful because He is.
My fruits are yielding. Often I get edgy because the fruits aren't appearing physically yet.
As long as our prayer lives are intact, hearts on the right track with God and always be ready (i.e. interpret dreams like how Joseph did), be watchful of ourselves, be on the lookout. Put on best attitude, live expectantly by faith, live our days as if we're gonna be promoted. Joseph got promoted instantly from out of jail (for 13 years !) , to interpreting dreams and in a split second he became in charge of the whole Egypt. Esther was crowned as Queen immediately after meeting with the king.
Timing.
Preparation.
Patience.
Lots of it.
Also define what we want as early as we can. We wouldn't wanna mess around and get side track. We wouldn't wanna e clueless and aimless. By doing so, we can pursue our highest goal. Don't know not sure? Find it through prayer, ask God to show the way. But never give up. Be persistent, persevere and be faithful :)
Be a man of character, not a creature of chance. Just like Joseph and Esther.
All things work for good for those who love Him, and who are called according to His purposes.
God has a good plan for us, plan that is not harmful, but to give us hope and a good future.
And I think, the ones who work diligently putting their talents into practice and be skillful in it, deserve their reward. In due season, we will reap, if we do not give up. Everyone has their seasons.

That kind of influence
Each of us has a unique sphere of influence, and that influence can be used for evil or for good. An unfettered faithfulness to God is a light that will shine brightly and leave a legacy of good.
It’s our privilege to bring glory to the Lord. May others see His light shining through us and be drawn to His goodness.

The engine is running
I can't ! :(
But God can.
I'm hopeless.
In God, there is hope.
I'm too delicate.
But God is strong.
(I don't know so many things in class !!)
(Keep seeing lecturers in their office hours, self help using resources to learn and all etc.)
All things are possible with God.
You give hope to the hopeless and help them stand with their feet on the ground.
The Lord helps and provides.
When I am weak, I am strong. Strong because God is.
Nerddddddy semester :PP

Everyone's out there partying and hanging.
I am burying myself with books, figuring out how the heckk a DP works and what busses what multitrack.
How to write for strings and recognize the timbre and learn how to play a violin and hear them blend with this instrument and that, to double or not to put this voicings in or not.
Bla bla BUT.... !
At the end of this nerdy semester...
I'm all (I hope) foxy ladehhh !
Hahahahha :P
I mean, I'm all set to be more knowledgeable in orchestration and computer skills for film scoring.:)

Pressing on!
The pressure of this semester has started already. It is only the second week but I'm already feelin' the heat. So much to learn in such short period of time.
Time to really dig into orchestration and software knowledge. Hoping to come out at the end of this semester, accomplished ! :D
By GOD'S GRACE ahhhhhh !! 9am classes almost everyday !
PS : Man there's this super strict lecturer, scarier than any other chinese school teachers I've ever met !
And I thought Chinese teachers were fierce.
Very fussy lecturer and he's a guy :OO
But this makes me work hard and he's a fantastic educator I'd say.

When we see You, we find strength to face the day.
In Your presence, all our fears are washed away.

Because of God
Where I am, I serve God. It is a choice I make, in obedience and willingness.
Serving God not only on Sundays in church, also on every other days called Everyday.
In school, in the coffee shop, by the streets, when I am around people and friends or even in class.
There is always an opportunity to help others. There is always a time to show kindness. There is always a way to tell others above the biggest love ever existed and that is Jesus.
Love the people. Love God.
If I don't love the people, how can I love God?
Count others as more important as ourselves. Show everyone true and sincere love. Show them through our lifestyles, words, actions and attitude.
Be the one, set apart, whom God can use in so many ways.
Time is short man. Serve God. Serve others.

Ready for my nation
Sitting by the cold white window pane, I hear crowds cheering across the Fenway stadium for their Red Sox. The fall wind is getting more and more chilly each day. But no proper sweaters have been bought yet to keep this body warm. Maybe later.
But a proper comforter is a must and heading down to the far-away land Ikea is the best deal compared to the rest.
So, someone by the alley outside my window is blasting her music so loudly, serenading her loneliness to herself. A puddle of back lane water reflects the gloomy sky. Street walkers try to avoid getting in contact with the water. And now the guitar is plucking so gently, making this moment even more moody.
I wish I could have the best of both worlds with me now. Malaysia and Boston. My family, His church, my nasi lemak and my home piano; together with the learning experience I have in Boston, berklee, Anchor church, and Tasty Burgers. I also love the room that I have over my head right now. And the kind and helpful people here.
May I have them both? Of coz I know the answer. But deep down I know I won't be long in this place. So why not appreciate the moment right now. Live to the fullest in the dream that I once dreamed of it, that is now a reality. Travel as much as I can while I still have my youthful days. Yes I do do dododododo wish that I am home right now- seeing the smiles of different faces of my own nation, my people. Hearts out there are yearning so much for God to touch their lives. When I came here, I value Malaysians even more than ever. And when I return home for good, I am ready.
I will be ready to carry out God's plan for my nation.
Don't get me wrong. I like Boston as well too. Certain things.
Boot camp in the States for a purpose- to train up my skills and toughen up this lady here. And I wouldn't know how long is this camp going to last for me. It depends on my Commander.

Yes, I will go through this with excellence. By God's grace.

Fall Semester
Everyday is interestingly... busy !
From gear 2 to gear 3.
9am classes all the time.
Workload is also extremely heavy. I signed up for 2 writing classes I don't know why I did that but it is good and necessary.
Barely had time to chill. The only time I can breathe is during cooking time! Lovin' the moment.
This semester is so pack that I know it will all go by so so fast. And like what my lecturer said, we gotta know our sheesh, no more high school bullsheesh attitude and really dig into music. He was talking in his Scoring for Full Orchestra class. I love this guy his way of teaching pushes me to really know my stuffs.
Best thing is when you totally understand what your lecturer is talking.
If not, drop that class ! :PP Like what I did for 2 classes. Thus, the extra writing class which I am so very happy about it. And from a sleepy liberal arts class to something related to Film Scoring class.
AHHHH so happy ! And it all falls into places ! I couldn't believe my eyes because God went ahead of me and work things out in my schedule. Just like my previous semester. He is amazing! Can't describe how happy I am :D
So, keep the focus. Write them down in papers to remind self. Engage with people. Be nice to everyone and even lecturers. They deserve to be treated well. I wonder if they have Teacher's Day or something in the States.
:D
Not having iPhone but I will have one soon I hope has missed out the very moment of city life in Boston for 5 months already ! Ahhh ! Okk, soon soon I'll get that phone if it all fits my budget. :3
This semester is going to be killin' !!! Getttt downnn to business ! :PP
***
Owhh yes, my new room and apartment is super comfortable ! It can fit friends to come over and chill this time :D And my room is cosy enough to rest and study. What can I say, I am overwhelmed to have all these. The Lord provides!
