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!

I realised my walking is slowing down a bit too. Must be post-traumatic-symptoms! I'm afraid of banging walls lar lol.

You're like an owl

Am referring to platonic friendships too!
Sadly no boys in this Googled picture haha.

A friend is like a flower, a rose to be exact.
Or maybe like a brand new gate, that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl, both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost, whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart that goes strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world if we didn't have a friend.

I KNOW I CAN BE UNORIGINAL AT TIMES.
LIKE NOW XD.
BUT,
WHERE WOULD WE BE IN THIS WORLD IF WE DIDN'T HAVE A FRIEND?

Signing off,
Thank you for being there for me!

I say, girls will be girls.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

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.

Yesterday's dinner and the-after-talk was definitely the start of something new besides ahem..!

1. Su Faye is joining Ushering.
God spoke to you somemore. Amen amen! (Finally can rest, don't have to ask already! Lol.)

2. Wen Yi is attending university soon.
Her mom tells her, "university is where you'd meet your soul mate". Your mom cracks me up.

3. Chian Hui is trusting God to lead her path.
Girl, I'm super encouraged to hear your story and I know this one thing, God will bless you.

4. Jue Lyn is ready to get on with life!
I'm thoroughly berbonded after yesterday night. Ditto the verse in green.

If only Tze-En and Chia Wen (and Michelle, our new member) was there to join the C1 girls' talk... I think the night couldn't have ended. :P

Ahhh... God knows my wires and He will be my strength. :)

There's Something Called U-Turn

I stopped work 48 hours ago.

Even though the pay is really good.

But I have no regrets!

I really wanted to give more of my attention to the planning of Encounter Camp. I'm putting my best into it, so are other people, but all in all our faith is in God that He will make this camp alive to every camper! ;)

THE FUUNNY THING THAT HAD TO HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE IT WAS MY LAST DAY:

So anyway it was my last day of work and I had the privilege of being fetched by Joanna. She calls herself the dangerous driver because my mum constantly tells me to stick to 50km/hr on the roads.

It's not a bad thing, though. For both facts before and after "because".

So anyway after we parked at the opposite parking lot (Plaza Glomac), walking across to our workplace building was the only option.

But we were not familiar with the road and stairway system on how to get to the other side of the road.

So, being young, we explored our adventurous sides (PS: I didn't know Joanna was so daring! I'll tell you that later).

We walk and we walk until we see an open space.

There was a fountain there, too.

Now that I thought about it, it looks like a scene from Enchanted, right? The animated part in the beginning one.

Turning left, we saw a stair and above it, was the open air daylight and we saw Wisma Good Year (I don't have lots of pictures to show you because... well, I didn't think I would be getting lost haha).

Both of us squealed in delight.


Instead of a happy ending, we got a cacat ending once we were at the end of the bridge.

Joanna: Aiyah, just jump across lah. It's almost 9am.

Jue Lyn (looks down at the gap - there's a deep longkang hidden in between): E.r.r.

And I forgotten to tell you I was wearing khakis while Joanna, that girl was in her clean white pants!

She must be reading too much of Twilight. XD.

But like Princess Giselle, we were taken into reality's arms. "Let's go find another route."

Still, we finally found a way back to the Wisma - in one piece respectively.

THE FUUNNY PEOPLE I GET TO WORK WITH:

Dionne and Nicole.

I don't have to describe much about their personalities to you. You can guess right? Hehehe.

You two spiced up the office work. And meals with lots of sandwiches too! =D

Their friend, Warren.

He usually looks better but he's too busy hiding his guilt here. He was the one who prank called you, Su Faye! XD.

And the three of them are not even 17 yet.

Not forgetting Reis and Rich and CY! Don't have your pictures here but I've had a blast working with you =D

Ms. Joanna Ow Joo May!

Had a great experience working with you. Learnt a lot from you too. "It's always easier to blend in than to stand out". Yet, you were able to live the opposite. I'm encouraged. Hope I get the chance to know you even better in the days to come!

I want to be different in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. (1 Timothy 4:12).

Sanity Happens

Reality check.

I'm having mixed emotions these few days. Wait, months. Or maybe even years. It's swinging up and down. Urgh, hormones, let me put all the blame on you.

Still, God has been the same yesterday, today, and (will be) forevermore (Hebrews 12:8)! And my friends - these wonderful homo sapiens who take time to dig the best in me.

Just what a girl needs for her dose of sanity.

I saw a rainbow today.

I saw a lizard today, too.

The L-word was on my dad's car's side-view mirror. It couldn't fly away even though my dad was speeding at 120km/hr. That L-word made me felt sick when I saw its tail flipping all over the side-view mirror. Sumore it's the brown-brown kind. You know what I mean.

But the L-word wanted to survive - it could only hang on.

I feel like I need to learn from the L-word. To hang on. Even when life makes you look foolish (flipping tail) hanging on?

I can consider being a philosopher.
Yeah, I know.

Wai How: I might be going on Wednesday. See lah. =D

Wei Wei, who told me to sleepover at Pek Kuan's house: See lah. If she lets me. HAHAHA.

Pek Kuan: Can I sleepover at your place? LOL.

Siew Mei: Your fringe looks absolutely nice! I also want.

Wee Han: Thanks Gweeky for 2 hrs of your time. Can't thank you enough =D

Aisha: "Explain to me again why I need a boyfriend" cracks me up. XD

Joo Li and Iona: Your compliments on my necklace makes me feel feminine (sorta) LOL.

Ivan: I'm not sleeping over at Wai How's house. Accuse me! XD

Chia Yee: Your handphone's so cool!!!! I want the dictionary part only though. Hehe.

Chee Hong: You and your new hair. XD

You. Yes, you: Buy an Andy McDonough CD! Ask me how.

Klang In PJ

I gotta say I'm super touched when Klang towners hit PJ!

Aisha, Iona, Rachel, Janelle, Wee Han, Andrew and Caleb!!!
This post is for you.
Rather, the pictures are for you.

Listen, I only have 3 pictures. T-H-R-E-E with humans.
XD

And I totally apologize on behalf of my town's behavior. Haha.
Wee Han had to brake abruptly because the car in front stopped suddenly. It was...

...this close to a crash.
Maybe not.
Can't remember if I was exaggerating.
(Had to show Janelle a crab. Sorry you didn't get to eat Fatty Crab XD)

The car stopped for the roadside van which menjaja food. Don't know what he was menjaja-ing. The driver was hungry. Janelle was hungry too!

Anyway.

We dined in Prince Cafe in SS2. What a logo.

I can't remember what triggered Wee Han's ear to turn red. Compare it nicely to Aisha's spoon from her drink. Not much difference in colour, right?

That's what I thought.

Can't comment on the food lah. I'd be too biased to do such a thing! Hehe.

We headed back to my house after dinner.

Wee Han, Janelle, and Iona with their favorite Enid Blyton titles.
Wee Han: The Gweeky Greedy Rabbit.
Janelle: The Fairies' Shoemaker.
Iona: The Little Brownie House.

The Little Brownie House (food obviously) should have been Janelle's! XD

And oh, my room's a certified girl room. *Applause*

Iona: Eh, your room got these empty boxes! This room's a certified girl room.

Rachel: But I don't have any empty boxes in my room.

LOL.

Anyway, I have some pictures to show you!

(from left) Ms. Ding Tze-En and Ms. Liaw Su Faye looking picture perfect.
Can you spot me?

It's official. I permed my hair =D

Last but not least,

"Happy birthday Mommy!"
God knows how much you mean to me. God bless you!
(The birthday pics are still with Wei-En hahahhaa.)

TQ!

Noticed my blog header changed?

All thanks to Ivan!! I love it, I really do! Million thanks weyy!

Sometimes I wish I can do amazing stuff like these, but it's not my talent hehhee. Yours lies here and you've already discovered it!

Love the birds ahhahaa and the tree and the heart shapes and the community of people inside and the Cross!! TQ so much!! I think I owe you one.
