It's a combination of red and green solids in this picture. Reminds me of Christmas. Does it remind you of Christmas too?

I like how she looks up to whatever she is looking at. Reminds me of looking up to the Hope i have.

Most of all, this picture reminds me to update my blog which has been abandoned for quite some time now..

When advertisements start making sense

Mapo-tofu... so salivating right.

Taken from http://rasamalaysia.com/

I was browsing through some Internet applications and I saw an advertisement saying, "Soy proteins make you fat and increase your belly fat"!


Before you read any further, you should know that I love soy products. Tofu is an addiction, unfortunately for me. =(


But I do love tofu lah, not forced to like it or something.


Mr. Mike Geary, a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Specialist says that many people are deceived and misled into believing soy protein, soy milk, soybean oil, and processed soy foods are "healthy"... when the truth is that soy has many anti-nutrients and negative factors on the body that we should be concerned about - like increasing your stomach fat.


Ouch. Now I know why...

Romans 14:20
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.


Food for thought, literally!

The second traveler

A traveler nearing a great city asked an old man seated by the road, "What are the people like in this city?"

"What were they like where you came from?" the man asked.

"Horrible," the traveler reported. "Mean, untrustworthy, detestable in all respects."

"Ah," said the old man, "you will find them the same in the city ahead."

Scarcely had the first traveler gone on his way when another stopped to inquire about the people in this city before him. Again the old man asked about the people in the place the traveler had just left.

"They were fine people: honest, industrious, and generous to a fault," declared the second traveler. "I was sorry to leave."

The old man responded, "That's exactly how you'll find the people here."

Scribbles

Dear pimple(s),

Thanks for cruising with me during these few days of exam. I appreciate the pain and squeezes I had to endure. Thankfully the exams are over, I can now say goodbye to you zits!

Oh yes.

And now... it's time to let the holiday mood settle in. And spend good quality time with people!

Of black tops and teh tariks

Two friends wearing black tops and drinking their teh tarik until the same volume is left in their cups is not a coincidence. Took a photo to commemorate the event lol.

Chia Yee told me not to tag her on Facebook.

And I didn't. Hahahaha.

Pray Until Something Happens (P.U.S.H.)

Amen.

Wei Wei was like, "So fast its LOUD! 09? LOUD! 08 just passed only wey." XD


A church stripped off its many perception that churches are boring. We are created by a creative God - He made the earth and everything in it - so its only right if we as His people are creative too! There's nothing wrong with Christians having fun. Good fun.

I stood on the first row and sang along to What About Now and Say. I totally lost myself there lol. The Viva La Vida finale (psst Aisha!) was incredible as the whole crowd of close to 2000 sang to the chorus of "Wooooooohhh..."

Most importantly, with the message in closing, many made the decisions to believe in the One love that is perfect. In the life of a good shepherd who laid down his life for his sheeps.

It was not just a good night on the 26th July. It was a great night. It was a celebration of living out our destinies. And that's why they say, you've got ONE LIFE, live it to the fullest!

LOUD! 2010 is coming to Dream Centre near you. ;P

She says teehee

Teehee.

I tried to find Chia Yee's chatbox in her blog but I didn't see anything. I think my comp's lagging lol. But anyway I just want to tell her, "Chia Yee! I'm so sorry for causing you to cross your curfew hour. 1.30am is very early i mean late (depending on how you count haha). I'm glad you enjoyed the show!"

Teehee again.

Is Volvo really a safe car?

I had the opportunity to test out if Volvo was really a safe vehicle.

In a bumper-to-bumper accident.

Yesh, I got involved in a accident. My safe driver image (sorry Chian Hui, sorry Joanna!) is brushed off for good. But I promise to work my hardest to get that title back!

I kept my lane. But a red Wira which stayed on a lane leading to the flyover last minute-ly changed lanes (to pump petrol, of all things lol) and thud!, this post was born.

By the way, Volvo is officially safe. More than safe. The safest safe. Amat safe sekali.

Only the signal glass was smashed in an average triangular shape.

And good thing the man knew the situation well enough to let things off the hook.

The accident wasn't so bad, I would say. Going home was tougher. I had no idea what my parents were going to say. No idea. Clueless. Idealess. (Okay I'm done with synonyms hehe).

My mom was strict with me. "You drive too fast", "Please... slow down", "Drive with two hands, not one on the wheel, the other on your hair"... I treasure these words more now than before.

Oh no, what's my dad going to say?

He came into the living room all smiles when he heard the news.

"Are you mad?" I asked.

He said, "Why would I be mad?" and continued after pausing shortly, "Accidents happen. Take your lesson from it."

God is so good for letting these happen. Hallelujah!

Something tells me Matt Giraud is in trouble.

Easter

I stayed away from this blog for too long (having my finals). I'll make it up by posting something a little different.


A 33 year-old man was nailed to death on Good Friday.

The reason behind the nailing was very simple, people called him a liar. A very very big liar.

But the thing was, he didn't lie.

All he did was telling people about the greatest news ever, but people doubted him because they thought it was too good to be true. They decided they didn't want to hear all the nonsense anymore and called him a joke, sending him to be nailed to death.

This man who willingly laid down his life as a sacrifice for many was Jesus, and although he died, he rose again 3 days later. He certainly wasn't joking when he said that "I am the Son of God. I am the way, the truth, and the life."


Jesus is still alive till this day. The empty tomb is there to prove my Savior lives.

1 Corinthians 15:17
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

He died on the cross for the wrongdoings of every single person. I live to take up my cross.

Give it a 60 minutes rest

The foursome in my family joined in late at 9.00.

We just sat in the living room with all lights off. Note, all lights of the living room off. Which meant the stairs light (not in the living room) was actually on. Hehe.

At first it was uncomfortable and we didn't know what to do, so it resulted to us staring at the digital clock on Astro decoder.

I took out my phone and played Corrine Bailey Rae. Girl put your records on, tell me your favorite song, just go ahead let your hair down.

Letting my hair down I did, since we didn't off the fan. We only off the lights right. :P

Coincidentally, the song from my phone was sang by dunno how many people on American Idol. And talking about American Idol, I'm supporting Matt Giraud - who btw did not deserve the bottom 2 spot last week lor...

Anyway.

My mom hearts Adam Lambert, the guy below.


She's not that tech-savvy, so when she said, "I want the background (of the shared home computer) playing an Adam Lambert song. Ke yi fang mah (Can fix anot)?"

@.@ Good thing there's no such thing.

My dad was quietly observing, while shaving manually. I asked him what he was doing (since I couldn't really see in the dark).

"Relaxing."

@.@ Well, it seemed funny at that second.

Can't really recall what my sister was doing. I only know she skipped her Pandu Puteri camp that night la.

I know Earth Hour was supposed to stir awareness on global warming, but it sort of warmed the atmosphere in our home too. Sighs.

Life can't be a dot

Googled image

When I was really young, I used to close my eyes and pretended that life never existed.

No exams, no schools, no people, no time, no world.

Again, I was really young. I think I was still in primary school.

I had a feeling that life was just an imagination.*

As I grow older right, those kind of thoughts disappeared. I was very occupied with life. I make more mistakes and learn new things. I worry and I have fun. I cry and I laugh. I change (physically) and I make new friends.

But what is life? Life wasn't about happy endings, or is it?

Many people are still looking for the answers to these questions.

I believe in Jesus. He saved my life. He pulled me out of the darkness (you know how people are naturally afraid of the dark? I think it's built in) - and I'm ever grateful because life now had meaning. I have this want to tell other people too.

What really matters in your life?

* Don't worry, I didn't have depressing thoughts when I was young. I was innocent lah lol.

Sunday morning

Am blogging here from SJMC, Subang Jaya Med Centre. Which is now known as Sime Darby Medical btw.

Anyways,my sister has been admitted in for pre-treatment of dengue. Blood tests have shown low count of White Blood Cells and Platelets. Hahaha yes, my Biology knowledge flew straight into my head when the names were mentioned.

I seriously appreciate those who had prayed for my family! I know that God will take us through this because just one day before my sister was admitted in, Gos told me in Job Chapter 1, "Do you fear God for nothing?"

I am growing and knowing that I fear Him because of His real wonders!

random thought. Declan is such a nice name. declan declan declan

Ever had a pain in the midst of somewhere you can't be excused?

I just learned about the nonpainful nerve impulses and pain impulses a few days ago. Basically, these two impulses compete to reach our brains first and the winner takes control of our pain.

If nonpainful nerve impulses get there first, pain is dulled.

Vice versa.

But does that mean that testimonies of "God healing my tummy ache (and headache and dot dot dot) when I pray" are actually nothing at all?

Whoever said that "Girls pull another girl's hair while fighting..." may just be right

All images are taken at Google's :)


With two well-known romantic comedy leading ladies - who are both very talented in their own ways - this movie passed by quickly without too much painful moments. I had a great time sweeping popcorns into my mouth watching the chick flick. Until my throat kind of got dry some more.

Before I walked in, I was more of a Anne Hathaway fan. But after watching it, I became more of Kate Hudson's lol. Not that Anne Hathaway didn't perform well or anything but Kate Hudson was absolutely lovable.

Liv (Hudson) is a Type A - strongheaded, impatient, miss No. 1 and I-must-be-perfect.
Emma (Hathaway) happens to be Type B - a people pleaser, I'm-human-so-it's-okay-to-cry.


That is until their wedding dates were booked mistakenly for the same date (you must understand that this is for drama purposes lol). Slowly, the brides-to-be have a roller coaster ride respectively, getting sabotaged by each other - WAR! - and another side of their personality began to illuminate.

Emma who was a Type B becomes bolder than ever and starts shedding her patience while Liv, previously a Type A begins to mellow down and misses her girl friend with all the fighting going on.

Maybe that's why I loved Kate Hudson's performance so much. XD

But the best part of the movie was NOT:
- the girls
- the boys
- the dresses (Liv wore a Vera Wang)
- the popcorn (of course not!)


It was the music. They are now hooked on me. Included are Colbie Cailat (Somethin' Special), Natasha Bedingfield (Happy) and Natalie Coleman (This Will Be).

The songs make you happy one. Really!

Maybe you're listening to one now and you didn't even took notice lol.

This movie scored (for me) because of its happy tunes.

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:

If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.
