:) I was youtubing.. and saw this video :D I remember we danced this song before during one of our girl guides' gathering! High school time! We actually danced almost one whole day to synchronize ourselves! I can't really remember the steps already.. it's a sign of aging.. this was.. wait i think 4-5 years ago!! Funny :p
Received a cross pendant on my birthday from my beloved parents :) :) I told God before, that I didn't want to get myself a cross pendant because I want my parents to buy for me..and they did.. without me asking or telling them what's in my heart :) Isn't God great? :)
I was blessed even before my birthday :) Received gifts from Joanne Tan the Pig and birthday dinner from Moy Wei Sern before my actual bday :) Aku sangat disayangi ramai..hahahaa thanks!
Yes, you can laugh at my dumb face! Thanks Monica, Try, Bota, Abel, Derek, Audrey, Catherine, Tien Hui, Melanie and Michael who came to 'SURPRISE' me despite the busyness, tests, assignments, etc :) appreciate your time and effort!
Having said all these, I hope that today will be a day of giving rather than receiving. Maybe because I have been receiving all these years? hahaha, and I hope that my presence ON EARTH will truly be a blessing to others.. 21 years old is a very significant age because.. I can now register to vote and do something for this country! :) YAY!

I kept thinking and asking myself, "Did I say anything wrong? Did I say anything wrong?" until I received a message from a friend and knew that she was encouraged. That one person made me stop thinking if I said anything wrong.. but made me thank God that He uses my weaknesses to touch one life.
It reminded me on how weak I am but still God can use :) because He is God. True enough, the question is not whether God can or cannot.. but whether you are willing or not?
We have a choice. We can continue living as before and be part of a generation that has lost its christian voice in the society. One that did not make A STAND on anything. One that did not make A DIFFERENCE by being concerned and by serving those not from our community. One that will probably graduate with a paper as a reminder that we've studied there for a few years and NOTHING ELSE.
Or we can make a choice to SIT UP AND LISTEN. Let us be SHAKEN.MOVED.AWAKEN. To SEE and to COUNTER the state of brokenness surrounding us.
Had the opportunity to meet up with two OKU students in USM last week. One was during 'bless campus' week and another one was a random appointment with Mike's friend, Aziz. Spent time with them over a meal. I was observing them..how they talk, eat, walk,etc. Traveling from one place to another place is a problem, going out to eat is a problem... reading is a problem... I realised that when I begin to look at the things or people around me, my problems become so small.Maybe next time before I start complaining about my own problems, I should be counting my blessings.. and to know that I'm blessed to be a blessing to others.
To be able to bless others is a blessing in itself. -MC Jin-
now.. botak-head-fatty Reon! :) Reon: Ku che, I can now sit on my walker! :) I like to play the song 'Hakuna matada' by Timon and Pumba. I am not naughty, I am just active. :)
My birthday is coming soon! haha, if (if, if..if) you're thinking about what to buy for me *perasan* hAHAHA, i'm here to tell you a good news! You don't have to get anything for me :) just need to help me to sign the petition letter to the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak, to take a stand against forced labor and human trafficking in Malaysia and to ask for a more strongly protected environment for refugees and asylum seekers.
I'm very fortunate and blessed. I have a shelter, education, food, clothes, car, etc.. so I don't really need anything anymore. But these people, they are not.. they have to fight for their basic needs. Let's do them a small favour.
While I was worshiping God this morning in the sanctuary, I saw this little boy jumping around. But I didn't really bother because I was worshiping God, the whole congregation were worshiping God and I was standing right in front (because of dance). The music was quite loud too so I didn't really hear him. Then suddenly he came a little bit nearer to me and I can see from his lips and gestures, he said 'Shut up!' I was shocked.. but instead of reacting, I thank God, that I responded. Instead of dragging him out of the sanctuary (which is how I will react if i choose to react :p), I prayed that God will raise him up as a worship leader to lead the church into worship when he grows up!
it’s quite plain to see without music I don’t know where I’d be now I’m feelin’ like I’m finally free but this ain’t just music to me
it can lift me up and it can bring me down that’s why I’m turnin’ it up I hope your listenin’ now this ain’t just music
see me and Hiphop have quite a deep history a relationship filled with much joy and misery started out as strangers soon became friends got exposed to rap music at the tender age of 10 maybe 11 but let’s not get technical took me on a journey that I never expected to embark on like tryin’ to see with blind eyes no idea what was in store for me at all time flies now I rise nearly 20 years later pushin’ 30 my careers just goin’ into labor what I’m tryin’ to say is no need to research what you are witnessin’ right now is a rebirth I don’t write songs just so I can write songs cause the right song’s impact is quite strong less random punchlines more great rhymes I’m tryin’ to change lives the way God changed mine

music can be a platform for self expression how to overcome struggle learnin’ life lessons even though to just fall back is so temptin’ I’m all about movin’ forward progression reality is just somethin’ that you can’t deny it can make you laugh and it can make you cry the lies are often unseen by the naked eye and they’ll sell you anything just to make you buy quiet as keep we influenced heavily overlookin’ lyrics busy caught up in the melody next thing you know you naturally sing along deep down you realize that something is wrong blindfolded mind is bein’ molded but it ain’t your fault the only thing promoted on the regular contents flooded with nonsense so the question remains can you hear your conscience?

they say it’s just music but I know better once upon a time I would listen to whatever now I know never underestimate the power it’s eatin’ up my soul I ain’t tryin’ to be devoured it can lift me up and it can bring me down that’s why I’m turnin’ it up I hope your listenin’ now
