Hey guys, my grandaunty has not been feeling very well for the past few weeks. She has totally lost her appetite and now they are feeding her with a thru the nose. The doctors has also tried giving her glucose drip but nothing seems to work right now. But she is already 91 yrs old so all of these problem might be just due to old age.

She was like a grandma to me. She took care of me since young, i can remember sleeping over at her place during the holidays.Waking up early in the morning just to go the market with her, then she prepare breakfast for me. After breakfast,i will watched her prepare all kinda of different kuihs. After lunch, we will take a nap together. After dinner,we will watch tv together and drink a cup of milo before we go to bed. Life was just simple and happy:)

But do pray for her salvation and  healing if it's God will.

I m really scare because she is very close to me and i really dun wanna loose her at the same time i know that she cant stay here on earth forever. God has His own timing and she will have leave this earth one day. I'll just have to trust God that everything will be alright :)

Waiting

Waiting is just not my thing. I feel so helpless while i wait. Argh!!!There is just nothing i can do. I need to keep myself occupied so that i wont be distracted by the thought. I really do. Stop thinking! Stop wondering!

It happen again

I find myself moving away from people once i get too close to them. It happen last semester and again this semester. why? :(

studying is fun! (NOT)

I am trying to convince myself that its gonna be fun in the library today!

Smile

no idea why am i so happy today, but all i feel like doing right now is smileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:)

His heart:)

This afternoon while i was in prayer group, it suddenly made me realise why wasnt my prayer answered by God. ok, here's the story:

I have been asking God to help me 'forget' about him, so that i wont be distracted/wondering off in a dream world which does not exist. I really want to concentrate on my studies as exams are in a month's time. sob sob:'( Then i remembered as Yvette lead the openning prayer, she asked God to lay in our hearts anything that is burdening His heart. I asked myself, is this what he wants?Then I realised that i have been prayering for what i want, not what he wants. Doesnt God knows the best for us?Then why am i still praying for what i want? Mayb its becos it easier to do so? then i would know what the outcome is. It sounds scary not knowing what the future will be like. But that's having faith,isn't it? Letting go of the steering wheel that i have been grabbing on and surrendering it to God so that He can steer my life for me according to His plans. Its easier said than done. Let me encourage you to pray according to His will and not yours :)      

I will abide

Prayer!

Hey guys, i would like to share to you how real God is.

I used to so afraid of praying out loud in front of people. But i know its really good to pray out loud, so that everyone can agree with you. so last night during cell, my cell leader asked me and cheryl to pray for jen and jon as they are going back to sg for the wedding. I was so scare and my heart started pumping really really fast and i was the last one to pray, after rachel and cheryl. I was so worried cos i didnt know what to pray about as both of them had already prayed all the prayer point. One bad habit i have is that i will usually paraphase what i want to say before actually saying it out. This is wrong!!! Anyway, i started praying, thinking that it was going to be a short one, but seriously i cant believed that those words came out from my mouth. and I believe that God Himself gave me those words so that i will pray what he wants me to pray for. Oh gosh, it so amazing what God can do! Pray as the spirit lead:)  Exciting things are happening,man!

Make a certain breakthrough

Verse 1


In my life of searching for the plain and simple way
Many paths were so winding The roads were never straight
Then the Spirit of God broke through And healed my broken wings
And showed me the way into His heart

Chorus

And I know that God is leading in a clear and certain way
My one life for your purpose, Jesus I offer up this day
To follow you completely To do all that you say
Cleanse my life, fill me up Use me this day
Make a certain breakthrough Make it today


Verse 2

In these days of danger Lord, we rest upon Your grace
With Your tender and skillful hands You shape this stubborn clay
Yes You calm my inmost being Giving courage to hope again
And to build this one life In power and faith

Singapore Trip

28th January 2010, Thursday- We took a bus from PJ to Singapore in the morning. Reached Novena Square around 1.30pm and had lunch there before heading off to Uncle's apartment in Bukit Panjang.

on the bridge-connecting Malaysia to Singapore

Reaching Singapore Custom

Since my Uncle form Abu Dhabi also went to Singapore, dad decided to have seafood for dinner at Bukit Bakot. Yum Yum!:)

satay-tou fu-fish

prawn

crab

look at the delicious crab meat :D

After dinner, Uncle bought (almost) the entire stall of durians,dukungs and bananas. LOL

29th January 2010, Friday- Around 8 in the morning, I woke up and heard someone crying in the next room. Guess what? The little cousin doesnt wanna go to daycare. So she ended up eating breakfast with us in Fajar. After breakfast, uncle brought us to Sheng Siong for some food shopping and I saw this colourful tray of sweets with a green tiger in the middle, it looks so cute:) but i never buy la. Nice to see only

My favourite:)

Then we had lunch in Jurong East~ uncle's favourite fish head shop. My aunty said they have been eating there every once in a week for about 10 years adi. Gosh, I don't think it taste great. After lunch, uncle gave us a lift to Choa Chu Kang. While we in the bank, my little cousin was so scare of the security guard she wishpered instead of talking. We asked her why is she so afraid of the security guard, she said "Because he got gun."  We also asked her wat the difference between a security guard and a police. She said "Police wear hat, security guard never wear hat." LOL. Anyway, her mom met us there and my uncle brought her and my little cousin home. Parents and I went shopping instead and I got a new watch :D HAPPY!!!

30th January 2010, Saturday - I woke up late around 10am and parents already had their breakfast so they ta pau for me. After breakfast, we sent the little cousin to her chinese tuition class then uncle dropped us in Woodlands for more shopping. Mom and dad bought clothes for themselves while i bought hooks for my new room. Then we met up with both uncles( one frm Singapore and one frm Abu Dhabi) and family for lunch at Crystal Jade. Yummy yummy roast duck!

After lunch, my uncle from Abu Dhabi decided to go to Chinatown. I wanted to follow them so dad tagged along ( so that i wont have to go home alone later) This uncle loves durian a lot. He bought some durians before lunch. But since we werent supposed to eat in the shopping centre, we ate it after lunch outside the shopping centre, 4 boxes in total. And each had a coconut to drink as well.

Chinatown was so packed but the all the stalls sold similar things. It was either taiwan muah chee or singapore souvenirs or chinese tradition clothes. But it was fun to walk around :) In the end we had to take 3 mrt and a lrt back home.

31st January 2010, Sunday- We had dim sum for breakfast and went to IMM for more shopping. Uncle brought us to a $2 shop. Its called Daiso, a Japan shop. They sell all sort of things ~plates,pots,baking utensils,socks,belts,ties,toys,stationary,toiletrys,laundry,sewing kits,food....All for $2 (RM4.90) and its from Japan. I think we were in the shop for an hour or more, looking at Japan's invention. haha. Later that afternoon, we took a bus home :(

cny decorations in IMM

Overall, it was a fun trip. One thing i missed most is FREE CLEAN PUBLIC TOILETS!!! In Malaysia, we have to PAY to go into WET and STINKY  public toilets?!?!

For You:)

Dear Fren,

Sorry, i couldnt be there for you when you needed me. I slept super early last night and woke up in the middle of the night.Then, i searched for my phone to check the time when saw 2 missed call and a msg saying "Hi,I want to talk to you so if you see this call me. "It sounded pretty serious to me. So i pop out of bed to on my computer and true enough i found ur facebook status and ur blog updated with all ur sorrows. However, i am pretty amazed that you're still able to sleep after all . This proves that you're still a guy. Haha :p

I wanted to wait til morning to talk to you but that was not what God has in plan. haha. Mayb its more serious than i think. Anyway, guess what's the topic of my devotion today?

Wounded Lover : What God's power cannot accomplish. Hosea 11
" Many people think of God as an impersonal force,something akin(similar) to the law of gravity. By contrast, Hosea potrays God as a Person of passion,fury,tears,love-a God in mourning over his people's rejection.

God uses hosea's unhappy story to illustrate his own whipsaw(victimised) emotions. That first blush of love in finding Isreal, God says, was like finding grapes in the desert(9:10) But as Isreal breaks His trust over again and again, God endured the awful shame of a wounded lover. God's words carry a tone surprisingly like self-pity:" I am like a moth to Ephriam,like rot to the people of Judah'(5:12)

Love's Power and Powerlessness
The strong image of a jilted(rejected) lover explains why, in a chapter lik Hosea 11, God's emotion seem to vacillate so. God prepares to obliterate Isreal-wait now he is weeping, holding out open arms-no,he is sternly pronouncing judgement again. Those shifting moods seem hopelessly irrational, except to anyone who has been jilted by a lover.
 Is there a more powerful human feeling than that evoked by betrayal?
 Hosea and God demostrate in living colours exactly how it feels to love someone desparately, and receive nothing in return. Not even God, with all his power, can force a human being to love Him ."

Its alright to feel sad about it. God does, when His people disobey Him. But you still have to overcome those rejections.My advice- Turn to God for healing. God knows how it feels to be rejected. He has been through it much more than us. Talk to God about ur problems, it will make you feel better :)You asked why do girls always reject you? BECAUSE THEY AREN'T THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOU!haha :D

I will say this again and again til you get bored of this and you can even say it in your sleep.
" Don't Rush into relationship! Only go when u're ready and God gives you the green light! :)"

One last thing- Depend on God's love and not humans :) Always put God first,ya?

Love ,
     Jane

Yum Yum!

Fly from AS to Subang by Firefly on Saturday evening:) Koko picked us up at the airport and ate dinner, Bak Kut Teh near by our place. The truth is when i'm in KL i no longer have any sense of direction. haha. After dinner, we came home and rest.

Sunday morning, we woke up around 9 sumthing and attended the 11.00am service in SIB KL. After church, we went over to Aunty's place to visit grandma. And since Aunty taman is just oppostie Tropicana city, we headed over to have lunch.

herbal jelly which i only had a spoonful. BITTER!

My mayo fried prawn rice

Then we came home and took a rest before heading out to Uncle's apartment in Kota Damansara. Parents went in to clean the place while I sat on the couch looking around at all his decoration. The TV was so full of all kinds of decoration from vase to elephants to human statue.It no longer have any space for any new decoration. haha. And since we were out, we tapau nasi lemak home for dinner.

Here comes monday morning, I followed dad out to Tesco to do some groceries shopping. And i have to admit i am sorta addicted to nutrigen. haha. I have sorta lost count of how many bottles i have drink becauase some packaging comes with 5 bottles and while others have 6 bottles. Definitely more than 25 bottles in a month :D

Dinner time, mom cooked my favourite fried bihoon with stew pork from the can. Yummy yummy! I have tried to cook by myself but it doesnt taste lik hers.

Mummy's fried bihoon!

Tuesday morning, dad woke me up to have dim sum :) If i am not mistaken its in SS22. I ate till i couldnt move :p

prawn with crispy bread

fried prawn wanton

char siew pao

chee chong fun

har gao, xiao long pao, siew mai, fishball

Late that afternoon, dad and I went to Tropicana city to buy a universal adapter for Moe. Did some extra groceries shopping as well cos mom complaint that we bought only a bunch of vege yesterday. Afterthat, dad bought me to SS2 to buy bak kua. On the way, we saw durian and soya bean milk so we bought them as well:)

Wednesday, we went to 1U for the movie, The Spy Next Door, parents say it wasnt that nice and the storyline was almost the same as The Pacifier. But i like it. I like all Jackie Chan movies because it always so funny :) Had Rotiboy after the movie and headed to Ikea for lunch and done some shopping there.

Swedish Meatballs!

What's next? Parents warned me that they are going to stay at home all day tomoro:( It might be a good thing after all, I need to arrange my freaking timetable for uni. I dont feel lik going back to uni.

 Work + Classes + Labs + Assignments + Study + Exams = HARD WORK = TIRED = SAD.

Mummy's birthday

13th January 2010- Its was mummy's birthday:) We left house around 8 in the morning for Penang. Immediately after we reached, we headed to our favourite beefball noodles stall for brunch. After brunch we went to Gurney GSC hoping to get tickets for movies since it was a Wednesday, Movie Day.  When the counters were opened at 11am, we were the first few ones to que up but surprisingly AVATAR 3D was almost sold out throughout the day :(  the only one left were the first 2 rows. We didnt want to pay for severe neck pain. haha. But it was a good thing dad decided to stay over a night so we bought tickets for the next day. So we did a little shopping while waiting for the 12 oclock Sherlock Holmes to start. Bought sock for flat shoes because i have smelly feet :p

Movie was pretty good. Holmes is an amazing scientist. His senses are super duper cool especially when he was blindfolded and brought to Mr Thomas' house. He knew exactly where his was by the sense of smell and sounds. He even asked Mr Thomas why did he took the trouble to blindfold him. LOL and he figure out how did Sir Blackwood fake his own death. :)

After the movie, we tookaway McD to YMCA, ate-nap-bathe-dinner with Uncle and family which destroyed our plan to gurney drive.

After dinner, we went back to Gurney for more shopping. When i said more, i mean MORE. haha. Spent over RM200 that day. Oops!

The next morning, we had curry mee in Pulau Tikus and went back,took a bath and pack our clothes. Then, we went to Gurney for our next movie. Avatar 3D. Nice:) But poor thing, the guy beside dad went off after awhile,not sure why,but dad was guessing that he didnt understand English that well and the movie was without subtitle. Malaysians probably still doesnt know how to create the "floating" effect of subtitles in 3D movies. or its just to troublesome. haha.

After the movie, we headed off for lunch. Then we stopped by Butterworth on the way home to Uncle Foo's dad's funeral. After an hour off sembang-ing, it was time to go home:)

Night time, Xin Jou and I went to pasar opposite Alor Star mall. Ate tawainese sausage- drank bubble tea- bought a dress and telephone wired rubberband for hair.

Ohya, about my grandaunty. She is recovering well :) On tuesday when i visited her, to my surprise, she sat with me in front of the television and watched a singapore drama for half an hour,ate 6 Julie's chocolate egg rolls,a Lexus cheese biscuit,a cup of ice cream, drank a cup of milo. Before and after a week of operation, she would only wake up to eat and then straight back to her bed to rest. And the amount she ate was half of wat she is eating right now.  Thank God for answering my prayers and yours too( if you prayed along) :D

Now its time to pack :)

Here In My Home

Trust in Him

If you're in Malaysia right this moment, you should know about the churches attack. Yes, you're right! Three local churches have been attacked by fire-bombed- Metro Tabernacle Church in Desa Melawati, the Assumption Church in Jalan Templer, Petaling Jaya, and the Life Chapel Church in Section 17, also in Petaling Jaya. And according to Malaysia Kini, two other churches have received phone threats.

Jesus said :"Love you enemies". However before you can love ur enemies, first u need to FORGIVE them for their mistake. At this time of trouble, we christians need to show that our Almighty God is LOVE. So do continue to LOVE them and let them know that we are not troubled by these little things. Bombing churches? think about it, there are just buildings,man-made buildings.God does not live in man-made building, but HE LIVES WITHIN US! We do not need a church to worship him. We can worship him anywhere,anytime. Besides, God is our Provider, so we don have to worry about funds on rebuilding the church. We just need to have faith in Him:)

Thank God for the government acknowledging that its was wrong to bomb the churches:)

p/s: If we,non Muslim, were to be banned from using the word "Allah" , does that mean we are not allowed to sing our Kedah State anthem? Or are they gonna change the word Allah?

Allah selamat Sultan Mahkota

Berpanjangan usia di atas Takhta

Memelihara agama Nabi kita

Negeri Kedah serata-rata

In my personal opinion on the usage of the word "Allah": I read in an article that Muslims are against non-Muslim of using it because they are afraid we misuse the word. It doesnt really much sense at all. The word " Allah " is used for worship. Don't they think that we non-Muslim respect our God? We do! How then are we misusing it?

10 laps:)

I finally got myself to do something useful !
Dad and I went swimming in Kedah Club today.
Both of us swam 10 laps, to and fro. proud of myslef :)

Thunders

Rain rain go away
Come again another day
Little Jane wants to play
Rain rain go away

Its been raining cats and dogs for these few days. Go away rain! I rather it freaking hot than wet.

This reminds me of a my funny little theory of thunder. As a little kid, i was very scared of thunders. I didnt scream or cry when i heard the loud and frightening sounds of thunders but i need to be with someone who comforts me. If it comes during midnights, i will run to my parents’ room and tuck myself between them. As i grew older, i remembered i ask dad what are thunders? and why does it sounds so loud? Dad told me 'Its because God is angry.' I silently accepted the answer but i didnt exactly understood it. I kept asking myself –Why is God angry? What is it about? Was it because me? What did i do wrong? So from that day onwards, i started praying for forgiveness every time there were thunders. Sometimes, I will keep on praying until it was over. But as year passed by, i do pray when there are thunders but i finally got the idea of God wasn’t angry at me alone. There are other sinners too. I thought to myself "After i pray, i’ll be fine." Slowly, i overcame my fear of thunders. However, i found a linked to my thunder story years after. It was during my Form5 year, I was having a conversation with Sam and it started raining so i decided to tell him about what my dad told me thunder was when i was a little kid and guess what? He told me that his dad told him, there is thunder because God is spanking all the demons’ butt. Suddenly, it made sense why God was so angry and where all the loud and frightening sound came from.

:D actually i still don't know what causes the sound of thunders? Do you?

An Unfortunate start

Each year, for most people, they look forward to a new year hoping for a brand new start. However, the start of my year seems pretty tough. I do not know what lies ahead but i definitely hope it will turn out alright(:

As i have mentioned before( a few post earlier) that my grandaunty had to undergo an operation. She finally got hers done on 31st December 2009. All of us were pretty nervous for her due to her old age. The doctors and surgeons have warned us about the post-surgical symptoms and one of them was she might not be able to wake up immediately after the operation. They said she might take days til she wakes up. So the night before her operation, i prayed a really long prayer for her. Prayed that her body is strong enough to be able to overcome the operation, prayed that she will be able to wake up after the operation, prayed that the anesthesia wouldn't be too strong on her,prayed for her to have confidence,to trust the surgeons to do a good job on her(because she was against it at first. Chinese in the olden days used lots of herbal medicine to cure themselves,so they wont go to the doctors unless it's emergency).... I prayed for every single person who was invovled  in the operation, the anesthesiologist to have confidence in themselves to put the right amount of anesthesia for her and the surgeons' hands to be secure.

Indeed, the operation went really well that morning. She was the first patient that morning and to the doctors' surprise, she woke up at 1 sumthing in the afternoon. Moreover, i heard that she was pretty alert that afternoon. As soon as the numbness worn off, she started complaining that it was really really painful so the doctors gave her extra pain killers to ease her pain. So the next morning,they continued giving her pain killers to again ease off her pain. So when we visited her after church, she slept the entire time we where there. Even when the nurse,K, came to check her blood glucose level, K woke her up to let her know that K was going to poke a needle into her finger to take some blood sample, she opened her eyes to look at her and fall back to sleep immediately. So we when home earlier that day,letting her get her beauty sleep.

On sunday(3/1) we went to visit her again, this time she was so alert, she was like old times telling us stories of people who I don't even know about.( Huge family and i probably only know 10% of them) She just keep talking and talking and talking. And when they neighbour's(as in next bed) visitor saw her, my aunties told her that she was 91years old, they were so shocked because she looked so healthly and so cheerful. She didnt want to let us go home when visiting hours were over and the guard came up to chase us out. She kept asking us to stay with her but parents show the senior doctors scolding one the guards before in public because there were still quite a lot of visitors in the ward after visiting hours. So before we could cause anymore problems for the guards, we decided to leave.

*Some background so that u will be understand the next part of the story*
There were a few signs when they started giving her the extra pain killers, everytime the pain killer was injected into her body ,she will become slightly dizzy and just start to talk,anything that comes into her brain. When you talk to her, she won't respond. She is lik in her world of her own. My aunties were shocked when they first got to see these, but the doctors said its an side effect of the medicine and true enough after 15 minutes to an hour, she was back to normal.

Today(4/1) things started to get worst. She had insomnia(in my opionion),hence tired but couldnt sleep. And she wanted to go back so badly, she changed her clothes and was ready to leave anytime.but the doctors didnt say a word about when to go home. So she got really angry and started to scold everyone who was around her,even doctors. The doctors blame the medicine for her behaviour and they said all she need is rest right now. I have never seen/heard of her like that before. The one thing,we are afraid right now is that she loses her memories and wont be able to communicate with us anymore.

Many said that my grandaunty will leave up to 100 years( 91 this years)  if she overcome this very obstacle in front of her and I believe she will:)

So do continue to pray for her. Pray that the side effect will be a short term one and that her body will return to normal. Pray for a miracle as well. Its really sad seeing someone so close to us but not yet a believer. What are we suppose to do? Especially the older generation have their tradition of praying to their ancestors, my hokkien is terrible and she is deaf one side. All of these are probably excuses but i ll keep on praying, for a miracle to happen.So let's pray together. One saved soul, and the angels in heaven will be celebrating:)
