Beneath the Storm

My new favourite song...




Storm by Lifehouse

How long have I
Been in this storm
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head

If I could just see you
Everything will be alright
If I'd see you
The storminess will turn to light

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright
And everything will be alright

I know you didn't
Bring me out here to drown
So why am I 10 feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface

If I could just see you
Everything will be alright
If I see you
The storminess will turn to light

And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright

And I will walk on water
You will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright

I know everything is alright
Everything's alright

God Bless the Broken Road

Broken by Lifehouse.
Original Soundtrack of the motion picture movie "The Time Traveler's Wife".





The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name
I find meaning
I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing with a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain (in the pain), is there healing
In your name (in your name) I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be OK

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing with a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain (In the pain) there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm barely holdin' on to you
I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm barely holdin' on to you

If you are broken, I know a Healer who can take away your pain, mend your wounds, repair your brokenness, fill your emptiness and make you whole again. Let me know, I'll love to introduce Him to you. He is always available. :)

Are you broken today?

It's 4.13 AM in the morning

My alarm is going to ring at 5.30AM

The airport cab is reaching at 6.30AM

My flight is 9AM??? (gosh I don't even know)

And here I am still blogging cause I can't sleep~! :(

For those who are oblivious, the Potato will be going for a family vacation to the island of Java, Indonesia (Jakarta, Bandung and Yogjakarta) from the 27th of June till the 4th July 09.

What's there?

- Jakarta ----> SHOPPING

- Bandung ----> MORE SHOPPING

- Yogjakarta ----> Most probaly shopping again and The Ancient Temple of Borobudur!!!! :D

So do pray for safe journey and vacation. Thank you. :)

By the way, the Potato has a joyful anouncement to make:

She passed all her final subjects and is graduating officially (Convocation in Perth - 17th September 2009)!!!

BUS378 :Knowledge and Organization Learning - Credit! :)

MCC337: Cultural and Media Policy - Credit! :)

MCC345: Communication and Campaign Management - Distinction~!!! :D

PRAISE GOD!!! For He is indeed so real and GOOD! :D :D :D :D

The hardest semester (final sem) turned out to be the best, most rewarding and fruitful journey.

Hence, again, God is indeed super good.

The Potato has learned so much, fell and stood up, tears and perseverance, steadfastness, wisdom, peace, sacrifice, trials and so much more. She believes God has bless her with growth and is ready for the next level. :D

Just wanna thank Him for everything and those who supported me through rough times (my angel friends). God is AWAYS GOOD! :)

Though in the midst of trials, pain and tears I know my Lord is good and He will bless me all the days of my life. And so I will choose to surrender, submit and depend on Him so I can trust and obey. :)

Praise You Lord forever~! :)

The Blood of the Lamb in My Life...

Firstly before I say anything else, I wanna say all praise be to Him! For His love, grace, mercy and glory! It is undisputable! He is so awesome and I am truly honoured to serve an amazing God! :D

Thank you Lord for dying on the cross for our sins. Thank you for loving us so much. May I live a life honourable to you and continue to shine for you according to Your word. :)

Okay, next line of words is....

Sorry I have not been updating for the past couple of weeks! LOL!

It's been a really busy and hectic 2 weeks for me with 3 major assignments due one after another long with practises and preparation for Easter. But all is worth it! God is good!

About Easter, it was awesome~! Again, credit goes to Him first! Easter Vibe was great, Sunday Easter service was amazing and the skit performed not only touched hearts but mine too (was acting in it)... It is indeed wonderful to minister to others and be ministered as well. :D

For more details, pictures and fun, do check out here bout Easter Vibe Celebration. And lotsa love and well wishes to the lovely people who make it happen!!! You guys are awesome!

As for now...

I am so relieved now after submitting my last assignment (for now) and guess what? It's officially Easter break (one week) now!!! Wohooo...!!!

I am planning to spend it with myself, pretty much. Yes I know it's kinda anti-social and selfish, but I've been so busy lately that I'm kinda tired physically (lotsa aches too) that I just wanna see myself through these holidays by resting, sleeping, doing my own things and catching up with myself (lol).

Not to mention I wanna devote this time with Him too.... :)

I need my quiet time. To speak and to be spoken to.

I've currently taken a new habit of wanting to healthy (dont' know konon or not for now)...

Wakaka, I know... me healthy??? Unbelievable right?

Here's the thing, I've been noticing that I've been consuming a lot of oily and fried food lately and pimple are just screaming out (stress added to that too) along with a thicker waistline (gasp). And after doing my Conflict Management assignment on issues management where my research topic was about managing obesity in Malaysia, many things start to sink in. Believe me, when you go through so much reading on obesity and knowing the heavy facts... things change a little. For example, with my current eating habits and favourite choice of food consumption, I am on a high percentage of 50% or more to be obsese later....OH NO!!! And also... on the highway to an early funeral! *gasp*

So I've taken a some condsideration into moderating my eating habits and start exercising (don't pop your eyes people! lol). Of course I'm not going to be anti-fast food (after all, McD and I have a contract, lol) or be a vegetarian. I am still going to eat the things I like (maybe NOT so much....konon) but balance it up with lotsa veggies and fruits (I know.. unbelievable right?)...

And of course exercise.. which I have still yet to do... hmmm....

Anyways, I'll try to update my bloggie more, hehe. And do keep coming. If anyone of you are free or in need of company to eat Ikea Swedish meatballs with, I'm here. Tehee.. :)

Have a blessed week people and may God's love shine on you! HUGS! :D

p/s: oh, and here is a big cheers to all my friends especially the angels of my life who have encouraged, supported and loved me for who I am. I am so blessed to have you girl! *hugs*

Life is a constant filling of sunshine and rain. :)

I like the sunshine but I also love the rain....

It's been a busy week, a busy month and a busy year (so far).

And I am happy that throughout every tear and joy, He was with me.

And always will be.

God is good and He is good all the time. :D

(OST: Hairspray)

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

Rest in the buds of May....

With All I Am (Jesus I Believe)

by

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.

ARGH! I am growing with fustration over my current craze on Edward Cullen, Twilight the movie (I actually miss/rindu a movie!) and all of Stephenie Meyer books on the series! I wanna watch the movie again and I so wanna splurge like a mad junkie on the books (but still too 'kiam-siap' to do so)! :P

It's so 'beautiful' to feel the splendid-ness of a romantic soul again. It makes me want to believe that the splendor of mystery can and will happen. :)

O where is my Edward Cullen?

I'm so in an angau and lovey dovey mood!

P/S: Yiang, miss you la! Hang out soon k?! :)

A Spark of Miracles!

Currently Listening to: One Way by Hillsong

I attended a Healing Rally by Bishop Rovert Kayanja which was recently hosted by ECF (the church I'm currently attending) at a big Chinese Pestaurant in Puchong. And it was awesome to the max!!!! It was my first time witnessing miracles with my own two eyes and how amazing God is. The deaf were healed and the blind saw light again.... right before my very eyes!

How can one witness such and not believe?

And yes, I believe, I believe and MORE! There is no doubt of it. My God is ever real, true, gracious, loving, glorious and FANTABULOUS!!! :D

It was amazing. It was miracle in the making. And it was real!

Here are some pics and videos I managed to take.... sorry if it's blur... I used my camera phone (only 1.3 megapixel). There are so much more, but I couldnt continue taking pics or videos anymore throughout the nite for I was too busy clapping, shouting, being touched, crying and giving Him praise for His awesome miracles!

He called forth the deaf (left)and blind (right)....

And we all prayed.... lifting our hands, hearts, mind, voices and all to Him

And the healing begins...

Blurry pic... This is Bishop Kayanja, the vessel of God's healing to the deaf.

And we all clap, shout and give praise to Him... for the deaf was could now hear again!!

You have no idea, how amazed, touched and happy I was.... Witnessing his grace and awesomeness was amazing!

Praise be to Him!!!! :D

And God touched more people that night... not only the deaf but also the blind. Lives were changed and by witnessing such, I knew I serve a great, almighty and awesome God! Amen!

And that, is undeniable -ever!!!

Here are some videos I managed to take...

This second video is amazing because I managed to capture moments where God (through Bishop Kayanja) healed a deaf (from birth) girl... It's a little draggy and long in the beginning but it's worth it when you witness the miracle and hear the roars of praise to Him. God is awesome (yes, I've said it many times but I won't ever stop for He is so much more then that)!!




Amazing ain't it.... PRAISE BE TO HIM!!!!

That night was only the first night. The second night however was even more awesome (according to all who went). But unfortunately, I couldn't go. :( :( :(

I would really like you to continue reading more about His glory, grace and AWESOMENESS here
It's a post composed by a dear friend (Carissa!!!!) who attended the second night of the Healing Rally. Her testimony is so beautiful (of His glory) that I had to pass the word and share (hope that's okay honey!). Please read and be more awed by Him! :D

Thank you for reading people and I hope it touched you and made you see how amazing and real God is!

Blessed be His name!

It's been a week since I've updated? Internet has been a little draggy lately and the pics of my second post (day 1 part 2) on Cambodia has yet to come back from the shop (who is repairing my camera and memory card - hope the all pics will be saved!) Hence, it'll have to wait a bit...

Anyway, to carry on with life... a new semester is starting this week and I pray that all goes well by the grace of God. May lecturers be nice and assignments be gentle. May I be more hardworking and more attentive to my work. I hope this new semester will bring lots more of joyous memories to my life with my dear friends. And to those away in Perth, you have my love and care! All the best!

Just to scream a little here.... :

Passion World Tour Concert was awesome!!!!!

Oh yeah!!! God is truly amazing! His grace is ever so abundant and I am ever thankful for Him. 'Miracles' took place tonight in the concert and I couldn't smile wider in my heart nor weep enough to re-pay Him of his grace and faithfulness! The unexpected became real and 'Passion' was the indeed the suited word for what I experienced tonight. Indeed.... He is awesome and ever amazing.

I met many people that I haven't seen in aeons and I am glad people in my life be it past, present or future, share the same and wonderous God whom bind us together in Christ. And hence, no matter how far or how long we are apart, we will always re-join back together in Him. I meet friends from HLLC, very OLD friends from HLLC, college people, schoolmates from seconday school, childhood friends and even made a new friend - Teri!!

And this is the first time in a very long time where I saw lots of cute guys (in ONE place in ONE time)...hahah :P Indeed, there were a lot of good looking hunks and that is rare to behold. LOL! Usually, you can't event find one if you spend an entire day walking in the mall. But today, I saw at least 10 and more in one night. Okay...haha, FYI, it is just a statement, nothing more. I am not interested la, just found it interesting to behold (wasn't common to behold such sight ok..lol).

But of course the main reason and focus there was J-E-S-U-S!!! And indeed He was the main event for more than 4000 Campus students! He rocks!!! :D

"I was made by Him for His glory."

"With all that I am now and all that I can do, use me Lord and let me shine for You.

I am Yours."

And I thank You for all that You are and for Your faithfulness that has touched me so much tonight. Jesus, you're amazing! :)

The Mirror of My Dreams

I am back!!!!

Cambodia was great! Was in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh for 3 days each (6 days total) and I totally enjoyed every minte of it. It was a culture shock too but hey... that's what I love bout oversea vacations, we learn more about culture, life and people!

This is not an official post of my holiday in Cambodia but just to inform that I dah balik la...haha and alive at that! LOL!

Pictures galore will come much later.... Imagine finishing 2G of memory in the camera in just the second day.....FUYOH! Hahaha... I guess you can imagine the amount of pics....

Bad news is... the cam or memory card seems to be a bit cacat..... half of the pics can't be viewed or opened in the laptop!!!! Something like kena corrupted or what.... :( :( :(

*SOB SOB!!!*

But it still can be viewed through the camera (padahal the file in the laptop can't buka!). I am sorta devastated and freaking sad wei.... it's half of the pics.... A LOT WEI!!!! Sumore.... the pictures of the other temples including Bayon (my fav) temple is missing!!!! But the small good news is that the pics from Angkor Wat is safe and can be viewed. But still.....!!!!! 2G and half of it can't buka!!! that's 1G worth of pics and videos.... :(

My dad said he'll find someone to fix it and that I didn't need to fret over it but still.....!!!!! I tak tenang la... so sayang if betul rosak the pics/files. REALLY LO.....!!!

But since it can be viewed from the camera... hopefully all will be ok....at the camera shop.... harap they can extract that file....

Anyways.... I have lots to tell bout my trip.... it was really exciting and an eye-opener... :P

Hopefully I can get the remaining pics punya file before I can blog about it properly...

Have a nice day and God bless!

To show you a glimpse of what is to come.... ain't it paradise???!! :D I took this pic on my own... hahaha... At last... a pic of my own in which I can proudly say, it's NICE! :D
