NICE???

This is Halong Bay, Vietnam.

This is where the Potato will be spending her weekend.

A beautiful natural wonder protected by UNESCO and the top tourist attraction in Vietnam.

That is after she tours the city of Hanoi of course! :D

It's 12:30AM now and in approximately 2 1/2 hours, the Potato's alarm is gonna go off. And in another 3 1/2 hours, the airport cab is gonna be waiting at her front gate. And in a funny way, the Potato has no idea what time her flight is... LOL. So she presumes it's bout 6:30-7AM?

Yes, the Potato is going for another vacation with her beloved daddy and mummy. And this time it's to the land of the 'Great South' of Vietnam!

HOWEVER...

Due to their horrible sleeping pattern that the Potato is currently facing now, she is wide awake while she is suppose to be zzzzing away. :(

Hence the blogging...hehe.

She will be MIA from the 16th-21st of July so please don't call or sms (unless needed) to save your phone bill money cause it cost double-triple with the international line thingie. The Potato apologises for those oblivious souls who did so during her week in Indo... :P

Do take care people and have a blessed week ahead.

God bless and XOXO~! :D

As most of you have know, the Potato is back in KL. Her trip to Indonesia was okay. Aside from the biggest shopping spree of her life, the Potato came back bearing sickness (not H1NI) but safely made it past the airport's quarantine. :)

It was a 7 day trip from Jakarta ->Bandung -> Yogjakarta and shopping was everywhere!

Of course the main purpose of the Potato's presence in Indo was Borobodur!! Visited lotsa ancient temple in Yogjakarta, saw a volcano, jalan2 like mad etc. The Potato is satistified, tired and thankful! I'm so blessed, thank the Lord! :)

She doesn't plan to blog much about it (wanna know more, ask me yourself) so here's a few pics and a list of her shopping inventory (yes, show off la... :P) - Note: the things were very CHEAP there.... hence:

34 TOPS:

- 17 T-shirts (purely mine and not including those I bought for my friends and family)

- 6 dresses

- 4 camisoles

- 4 blouses

- 2 batik top

- 1 poncho

6 Bottoms:

- 2 exercise pants

- 2 skirts (one formal and one jeans)

- 2 jean shorts

Accessories:

- 3 feet wear (2 pairs of slippers and a pair of sandals)

- 2 belts

- 1 hat

- 7 badges

- a whole lot of key chains


The Potato wants to thank the Lord for providing and blessing her with such loving, generous and great parents who made this possible (my dad is complaining that I have too many baju :P). Thanks mum and dad, you are the best! Thank the Lord for his blessings, favor, protection and neverending love in my life. There were ups and downs during the trip in Indo, but the Lord has been good and I proclaim His awesomeness in my life. :D

The ancient temple of Prambanan

I have the Borobudur in the palm of my hand!!

Love my parents!

Got sick halfway in Indo. Had to cover up in the streets of Bandung during shopping as it was very dusty.

Jakarta! The big city!


*******

Praise the Lord for His grace, mercy, love, faithfulness, blessings, protection, favor and providence. He is awesome and good.

Have a blessed week jolly people.

Hugs. :)

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~! :)

Here I Am

OKAY....

I know it's been light years since I last blogged but hey sometimes life catches up with you and you just gotta deal with it. And I've dealt with it and hence the absence. :)

But also because some loving people who keeps pestering me to clear the cobwebs in my bloggie, tehee...

So where do I start?

What life has held me recently:

- Final of final exams
- Friends
- More friends
- Vacations
- Outings
- Meetings
- Sleepovers
- Makan to the MAX sessions
- Hang outs
- Movies
- Etc

Pretty busy somehow....tehee....

But most of all, God has been good in my life. :D

I have learned that by God being good in my life does not only meant that it is seen in His blessings, my happiness etc, but also in His grace, mercy, joy, perseverance and peace during hard times. The list above may seem nice (and yes, most of them are) but through them, heartbreaks, tears, suffering and pain drove by. I have to admit, I went through the toughest time in my life this very month. But it is through this time where I experience God the most in my life. I learn to surrender and to abide in Him and He delivered me, sustained me, helped me and comforted me. I knew it was Him for I know I wouldn't have made it without Him. I would have broken to pieces but here I am because He is so real in my life. He showered me with grace, peace, joy and rest despite my thundering storm and I know that my God is real and so awesome!

I've learned 2 very important things through this hard month, which was to:

TRUST AND OBEY

To Obey in His will and know that following Him is the right and best thing to do. Even when you don't feel like it, even when it breaks your heart, even when it is against all odds for when you choose to obey, God sees your heart and honours you back (ten fold). All you have to do is obey and His will will be done in your life (And His will/plan is ultimately the BEST). :)

"His will is not for your consideration but your obedience."

(Pastor Shawn Kong)

To Trust that He has the best interest (that is yet to come) for me, that He'll take care of everything, that He is sovereign and I shall not be left lacking. To trust that He will carry my burdens, my worries, my brokenness, and my past. That He will sustain me, provide, bless and love even when I am not at my best. To trust that as long as I obey, depend and faith in Him, it's all gonna be okay and even great too (trials may befall but the joy of the Lord will sustain me). :)

Though hardships are still not over and are bound to get worse, I want to learn to trust and obey in Him. Even when I can't feel Him, even when I can't see the hope and even when I feel like falling. Because ultimately I know that He is in control and that I can still smile and be joyful in Him. :)

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
(James 1:2-4)

I thank Him for His grace and mercy. I know He is prunning me now so that I can bloom.
And I will bloom for Him and His glory. :)

I shall update more soon.... hopefully. Tehee...

Have a blessed week and may the Lord shine upon you. :)
