As a student
CAT EXAM RESULTS WERE OUT LAST LAST MONDAY !! WOOHOO!! The release time was 12pm. Friends and myself skipped F5 class which was from 11.30am - 2.30pm. No, i am not being a very obedient person. HAHA ! Josh is the only person who can really really panic and freak out like literally freak out..but the rest of the guys were accompanying him in many rounds of Chor Tai Dee (which i DON'T KNOW how to play). Don't laugh. Some were playing computer games and some were staring at other people playing games (me).
Cut long story short, all of us passed all the papers.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Was estatic for the next couple of hours. Hahhahaha... For more details, please click here.
Went out with friends to Pyramid for lunch..to CELEBRATE ! YAY ! Had Carl's Junior. Shared with Mei Kim. If you're my classmate who's been with me for lunch and breakfast everyday, you will know how much i eat. But in Carl's Junior, i shared. Because i cannot finish !!! Plus, mom bought lunch at home adi. Have to go home for 2nd round of lunch. I am a pig. Below are some pictures.

Chin Fei.. and THAT look which i don't know how to describe..Lol. Zi Wen, whats the best way to describe him ? XD
Went home early and did this in my journal for that day's devotion. Hahaha...God is good la. Really. He's been showing His faithfulness so many times in so many ways.
As a reward to my own self, i bought this.. its expensive lor for a correction tape.. ! 6 bucks.. I'm jaga-ing my cash spendings. Tried surviving on 2 digit figure in three weeks. It worked for first 2 weeks. Then 3rd week, blew my budget. Hahaha.
But passing the CAT exams doesn't bring all good out of it. It means we have to start studying REAL HARD for our first progress test, which ended TODAY ! WOOHOO !! YES ! *don't ask me how did i do*
Congratulations to those who didn't got selected for NS ! Congratulations to those who got World Prize ! Congratulations to those who got through CAT and our first Progress Test!
As a Follower...
If you noticed at my 2nd chat box on the right column, i did mention that i am on break. Hahaha. Yea, it started last Sunday. Today's Day No. 6. Need a break la. Although my weeks and the things that i do doesn't amount to the things which some busier people have to do, i still need my break la. To put a coma at serving in church and focus more on my personal growth ? Yeah. Coma. Pause.
Have been looking forward for the break, have been saying "i can't wait till the end of August" so many times since more than 1 month ago. Sundays have been one of the most tiring day almost every week. Whats worst is when the whole week's tiredness is slowly carried forward to the following days, Sunday is THE DAY i have my breakdowns la. Which i did have. Twice i think. Hahaha. Owh, did i mention. We have 6 hours of tax classes on certain Saturdays.
Break is good. My first time taking it. I don't know what to expect and what to achieve exactly. But from the advices i hear from friends and experienced people, i made a move to set certain goals to achieve in this period of 1 month. Wrote them down in my journal. My NEW journal ! WOOHOO !! ( started journalling beginning this year and i just finished my 1st book. i'm not a dedicated writer, u see ) I've set goals also to prevent myself from focusing on OTHER things other than Him.
There are certain issues that i CAN finally settle in this course of one month. And in this time, i can actually have more reflection on my spiritual growth up to date and i've been praying that He will twist and turn my life upside down ( or in any way He wants ) in order for me to grow more than i usual do. That He'll show me my weak spots and correct them or teach me. And reflect on what i am actually pursuing currently. Works ( ie serving and all that) or Him. I call it DRILLS. Yea.. So far, it's been all good and challenging. But good.
Oh ! Don't get me wrong ! Youth Church is doing good.. everything has been good in church. No one is killing me. Everyone is good and kind and beautiful as always ! *smiles* They're still doing the series of Apologetics. Bible classes started two weeks ago. Point Of Difference Camp (YC + TSF) is this weekend actually. But i chose not to go. Have my own reasons la.
Owh ! God blesses us in miraculous ways, u know ? See....
Mei Kim suddenly bought me this highliter. I was amazed when i first saw this highliter last Saturday in class, but it wasnt mine. Was telling her that this is one of the oldest Pilot Highliter which can last very long and its good la. Then few days later, she gave a brand new one for me. Psst ! My current highliter just passed away also. Co-incidentally, she gave me, on the right time. Been wanting to get one but on time. So yea. God blesses us in many ways.. Whee !
So much about my break.. lemme share about my FIRST DAY OF BREAK...
Hence, the following part of this entry.
Out of the Ordinary
My first day of break was out of the ordinary. It wasn't the usual go YC-oversee Form3Girls-pnw-bible class-leaders meeting-mamak if there's time-repeat same things for 2nd Service-help Gloria count offering-say bye bye-go home Sunday.
Went to FGA Kajang for a visit with beautiful Cheras-ians (Eunice, Kui Ling, Joseph and Alvin). Rocking place. Rocking people.
Arrived early la. Sat in their humble place, the Main Service.
I cannot forget the praise and worship session. Singing songs that are not usually sung in YC..songs that are simple but brings so much meaning to it ! It started off with a song which is normally sung either in school's CF or maybe in the Children's Church. I miss that song ! Hahaha.. Its "I love this family of God, so closely knitted into one.....". Yeah, its that song. Made me feel at home, although i am not at the usual place i'll be on Sundays. It really felt like you are part of this one big family where you're unfamiliar with everyone and everything..
Yeah, to know and read those words is one level, to experience it is another level.. Its so warm-welcoming-homey-feeling.. Dunno how else to describe it. Hahaha.. Worship session continued on as per normal. It still felt different la the whole day. The "GOOD" different.. *smiles*
Ps.Lee Hock Cheng from Mother Church came and spoke. It was a message on fastening ourselves to Him in times of trouble, building spiritual muscles. Not fastening ourselves to friends, articles, songs, music or any other form of thing that we think can replace Him. Read 1 Sam 30 : 1 - 6 with particular highlight on verse 6b.
Edit : Isn't it only in darkness that His light can shine through ?
( snapped this in my room in the middle of revision during the week )
The worship leader reminded me of my dad. Yeah. After everything was over ie pnw and sermon, there were refreshments served for EVERYONE !  YES, EVERY SINGLE PERSON THERE !! Eunice was telling me about the hospitality in FGA Cheras-that it was a little different..and coming from some other place which has a whole different environment (ah ma church), HOSPITALITY TIME IN FGA KAJANG WAS WOAH ! Kay la, I was shy all. Hahaha.. saw their library. They even have a Children's playroom !!!! Aiyor ! The kids are so cute !!!
Hospitality for everyone.. ?!? The idea is simply wonderful ! It meant no one was excluded from fei-lor-ship and fellowship. Everyone can catch up with everyone's lives ! The kids, the youths, the adults.. !
I amazed at their servanthood spirit. They serve together, grow together and yeahh.. ! Its like a family. It IS a family ! Where young and old mix around regardless of their age. Hahaha..
It was good, good, GOOD ! Good food too, u know ? Yau Char Kuey all the way from.... *drum rolls* CHERAS !! Hahahaha.. Lots of food ! Enough for everyone !!
Met quite a number of youths during hospitality session. There's Joshua who played the drums, Ern Yik whom i noticed kept smiling all the way (i think his name is spelt this way), Eunice who is very matured for her age and a couple others. Hanged around with the Cheras-ians also since i don't know all of them.  Hahaha.. It was good la. Really good. Not forgetting to mention, two of those i talked to were on their way in pursuing engineering. So many engineering peeps these days !!!!
After hospitality session, its time for YOUTH MEETING !! Yay !
There's Aunty Amelia who leads the youths of Kajang. She has a very very young heart, i tell you ! The youths of Kajang are blessed to have her..
They had a good time of discussion which i really enjoyed !
I actually had the time and opportunity to explore more the Bible with people around my age. Hahaha. Yes, its not a normal thing that i can experience on normal Sundays. I really really enjoyed it; to absorb, observe how people discect portions of the Bible, come up with lots of different views and questions about it, relate it to their experiences, share it and help other gain new knowledge ! It was a refreshing experience personally. Owh, forget to say that we discussed about Eve. Hahaha. Some guys were blaming Eve for the fall of mankind. But at the end of the day, it wasn't whose fault that sin came to earth la. Hor ?
After the discussion, Alvin and Eunice prayed for them as well as for Aunty Amelia. Eunice read a portion of Scripture from Isaiah. Alvin sung the bridge of a song i never heard before.
"Chains be broken, Lives be healed,
Eyes be opened, Christ is revealed "
You'll come by Brooke Fraser, Hillsongs United
These few words were stuck in my head for the next couple of days. You should listen to it. Ended the meeting with a prayer. Wanted to give Aunty Amelia a big hug but haha, shy.
Some of us exchanged numbers to keep in touch. Hahaha. It was good. Really.
Went for lunch with the beautiful Cheras-ians. Had a more fei-lor-ship and fellowship. Lol.  Being around these people, it made me feel comfortable. Like no stranger. Not because we heard of each other before or we said hi to each other before or because we can click well..but because we serve the same Mighty Loving God. A closely-knitted-together family. 
It was a wonderful day. We went there to bless them and to encourage them. But at the end of the day, both parties were equally blessed one way or another.
I am blessed. Really thank Him for this opportunity to explore out of the ordinary environment.
Who knows ? Maybe i'll see them again, both the Cheras-ians and Kajang-ians. Which i hope i will. Hahaha...
Went home tired.
Wrote a long long long part in my journal about it. Hahahaha..
I love my first day of break. I love the people i met. I love Him.
