I know this is quite last minute and late, but I just thought I gotta give some kind of notice before people start wondering or asking questions on my soon 'disappearance' in the coming weeks. For your information, in less than 12 hours, I will be undergoing Lasek/Epi-Lasik eye surgery (to cure my ever blurr vision) and will take a full 2 weeks at least to regain perfect vision (hopefully). Hence, I am technically grounded and will be going MIA in that period of time. Aside from that, I would kindly like to notify you to refrain from emailing, leaving messages, SMSes or texts (to me) as I would be barely able to see let alone read. So if there is anything, please just call me.

There is a whole long story behind the surgery but I'm too tired and malas to blog much on it (baru balik from Melaka, so tired!). But just some basic info:

- Kau orang dah know that my mata is very serious d. Hampir separuh buta without my glasses or contactas. 1200 per eye k... for a girl my age, it's gila.

- I'm not going for Laser or Lasik surgery (the basic one you always dengar) but it's Lasek/Epi-Lasik (a more advance procedure and takes longer to heal).

- Reason being so is because my cornea is too thin to be CUT (laser/lasik) and hence it will either be loosen and lifted up to be lasered (epi-lasik) or be slit on the side to be lifted up and then lasered (lasek). *GAG*

- After the procedure, they orang kena tampal balik my cornea, so kena take longer to heal (and 'stick' back) and meanwhile aku kena buta sikit for the next couple of weeks (hopefully before college starts).

Please pray for me for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. Thanks.

Lord, I commit myself to Thee... :D

Happy CNY btw and God bless. :)

p/s: yes, i am very scared... :P

Day 3 in Turkey (Kusadasi, Selcuk and Pamukkale): Visited the House of Virgin Mary, Explore the ancient city of Ephesus and Conquer the minerals of Pamukkale. :D

This was 'believed' to be the tempat tinggal of Mary (mother of Jesus) when St. Paul took her here for hiding when Christ was persecuted (the place is on top of a mountain btw). Most of the visitors are Catholic priests (left). Did not get a chance to masuk the small building cause it was packed with people (a tour bus of priests), I wasn't that keen enough (even though I felt like masuk-ing) cause I was no Catholic and my support goes to Jesus instead (Amen!) and the enviroment/view of the place is much better to explore. Shall not comment on the 'history'.

House of Virgin Mary (official name of the place)

Wishing wall.... looks more like garbage?? LOL!

The plants were really nice and 'friendly'.

This is Ephesus - one of the most prominent ancient cities in Turkey.

Their 'small' astaka for gatherings.

I love the ruins!

The library of Ephesus... looks like the entrance of the city of Petra in Jordan right? :)

Love it!

...the gladiator then (in pink!).... lol

Tomb stones and sarchophagus - I like :P

Pamukkale!!! One of my favourite places in Turkey! The 'white' is not snow but a form of mineral. It was really cool! Walking on the side of a mineral mountain bare footed (must kaki ayam) in winter - plus there was mineral water flowing on the mineral which makes ur feet really cool (or COLD!). What's more some of the minerals we walked on was really rocky (too much for barefoot)! Hence cold + wet + pain = excruciating! At that time, my toes were so numb, I thought I was going to have frost bite! LOL! But so worth it! It was great experience! :D

Spectacular view!

Awesome!

Being cheeky! :D

I love it!

Mineral Waters...

Chilling.... love the fire place behind.

My tea pot!

And day 3 was just awesome! :D

Praise God!

Have a blessed day and God bless!

The Joy of You....

Break that unhappy cycle!

“There is all the difference in the world between rejoicing and feeling happy. The Scripture tells us that we should always rejoice [Phil. 4:4]....To rejoice is a command, yes, but there is all the difference in the world between rejoicing and being happy. You cannot make yourself happy, but you can make yourself rejoice, in the sense that you will always rejoice in the Lord. Happiness is something within ourselves, rejoicing is ‘in the Lord.’ Take the fourth chapter of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians. There you will find that the great Apostle puts it all very plainly and clearly in that series of extraordinary contrasts which he makes: ‘We are troubled on every side (I don’t think he felt very happy at the moment) yet not distressed’, ‘we are perplexed (he wasn’t feeling happy at all at that point) but not in despair’, ‘persecuted but not forsaken’, ‘cast down, but not destroyed’--and so on. In other words the Apostle does not suggest a kind of happy person in a carnal sense, but he was still rejoicing."

~ D. Martyn Lloyd Jones

Happiness is something within ourselves, rejoicing is ‘in the Lord.’ What liberating truth. Our feelings and emotions may fluctuate, but the eternal God never changes, and we can rejoice in Him, no matter what time of the month it is!

Have faith: Hebrew 11-12 :)

"If I believe it, I can receive it!" :D

In trouble times, in suffering times, in tearing times, in sorrowful times, in hard times, have FAITH. Have faith that you are not alone. That God is watching over you, speaking to you and understands your pain. Have faith that through Him, no storm will last forever. That through Him, your sufferings will past. And through Him, you will find peace in moving on.

Have faith.

Have faith that God is way bigger than any problem.

Have faith that whatever you are going through, the Lord will bless you, comfort you and love you. You are never alone.

All things are possible with God.

It may seem surreal.
But once you've tasted His faithfulness, you'll know you will never be the same again!

You just need to have FAITH.

*******

This is for you my beloved friend(s) who's heart, mind and body is burdened (you know who you are). God can change that - just have faith. :)

****

Faith is just not merely proclaiming in believing something, but the act in believing.

When you ask God for patience, do you think He would just give you patience itself? Or would He give you the opportunity to be patient?

the same goes to:

When you ask God for strength to fight temptation, do you think He will give you the strength suddenly by itself? Or the opportunity to be strong and resist when temptation comes?

You may not be strong enough, but God certainly is. You just need to have faith and abide. Don't only have faith only in your lips but in your heart, mind, actions, works and in your life. So when trying times arrive, through God, you will be strong.

God is fair and just. He does not force. He gave us human a CHOICE. A choice to believe, a choice to receive and a choice for a better life in Him.

You can ask God to help you in your addiction, but you have to want to get rid of the addiction yourself. Make a step to change and God will strengthen that step (and the rest to come).

Two farmers are waiting for rain from God for their. One farmer prepares His crops and waits while the other decides only to do so when God rains on them.

Now which farmer do you think will be the one most likely to be blessed with rain? :)

God will work in You when you start working in yourself!

Have FAITH that God is HERE and that He wants to save you, to prosper you and to love you unconditionally.

He is ever here waiting. Just have faith.

God is not a mere idol sitting on top of a praying table. He is so much more than that. He does not need joysticks or food to bless you. God is a loving God, He wants to know you and for you to know Him and have a relationship to bless you.

It is through the decision we make in the hard times that determines who we are. What you decide can either break you or make you.

Which are you?

Honour God and He will honour you.

LIVE in Faith

With All I Am (Jesus I Believe)

Strengthen my faith in You my Lord and let me be a testimony for Your glory. Forgive me for my transgressions (thoughts and actions) and deliver me from temptation. Hold me steadfast in You and equip me with ur armour of words. Let not my pride covet my eyes but fill me with wisdom to see Thy will. Come and changed me so that I may be pleasing to you. Use me dear Father and may my lips speak words of praise to you till the end of my days. Cast my fears aside and strengthen my foundation in You. Give me the burden in my heart to love and to seek Thy word and will. Let me not be man concious but God concious. Break my heart Lord so that I may surrender to You not myself. Amen.

I believe that my God is a good God. An awesome God. A loving God. A forgiving God. A great God and an amazing One.

I shall wait on Him for I know He is always there. Always there in my toughest storm. Always there in the silence of the darkness. Always there in every one of my tears. Always there in the sweetest of my joys... He's there.

I BELIEVE IN JESUS! I DO! I DO!!!!

and may my actions, purpose and life scream it way louder than my spoken words.
