hehe.
i got back from church camp on last friday.
but i was too busy to update my blog.
it was a really good camp.
took some photos but they are all on other people's camera.
shall post when i get them.
haha.
the air in genting was really fresh.
which makes it a really pleasant place for a time of renewal.
previously had been really drained but it was a really good camp to just gain back the strength and passion to move forward.
a lot of issues that God dealt with.
and i am glad.
i'm moving on.
fighting the negative emotions and thoughts.
so that my thoughts are pure and pleasing to Him.
amazed at how God used the guest speaker's lives to be an impact to so many people.
very encouraged.
a faith-building experience.
God moved mightily.
a handful of things revealed to me.
and i know that i've got to press in as God works in them.
shall look forward to breakthroughs in this year!
all things are possible for the Almighty God.
hehe.
a good learning experience also.
God presented the opportunity for me to grow and to give.
not only did i receive. but i learnt to give to during the camp.
in very small ways.
but i'm glad.
i wanna take up challenges that will spur me to grow stronger.
hehe.
practical things to apply too!
got to start doing a major clearance of my space at home.
shall work on clearing the clutter in my life.
and throw out whatever is obstructing!
came back and worked hard on the publicity website for the upcoming youth rally.
do visit the website and take a look!
click on CHASE!
hehe.
anyone interested to come.
let me know!
it's gonna be real fun.
work was alright.
finished one case on monday.
and was given a new one on monday itself.
which currently is quite a challenge cos there's insufficient information to get things done.
and a fellow colleague was straight-forth in speaking.
which i am thankful for.
once again, God revealed to me how prideful i can be.
she was commenting that i appear to be aggressive when in comes to work.
meaning i am rather ambitious without myself even realising sometimes.
true. i can be quite eager to prove myself. that i'm good enough or probably way better at getting the tasks given to me done.
she acknowledged that i'm capable. i think i think of myself as that way too subconsciously.
oops. hehe. that's where the pride lies.
and she said that i do show confidence because i know my stuff when i'm given the tasks.
but she warned me against showing too much confidence. she was saying that there's high possibility of attracting back-stabbers should i be out working full-time next time.
i do agree that the world is ugly in that sense.
probably i never really realised that arrogance that comes forth.
cos i really think that i know my stuff and i'm able to get things done at work rather efficiently.
but there's always that need for that awareness.
which i was told during the conversation today.
i've got a lot to learn.
my fellow keepers. please note. haha.
i can be prideful. which is a major hindrance in my journey.
will need to tear down this huge wall.
help me keep watch ya?
hehe.
very blessed.
and i know i still am going to be.
hehe.
i'm quite tired physically.
but still am sustained.
shall get as much rest as possible.
shall post some pictures soon!
jya matta ne!

adulthood
shall do a quick post before i go off.
i shall be away in awana genting for 5 days on my church camp.
God has blessed me with a week of leave so that i can find rest in His presence.
hallelujah!
hehe. though i've got to extend my work attachment to make up for it.
i'm more than glad for this break.
i've been so looking forward to it.
anyway.
it's been some time since i've updated.
and i've got loads to update.
yet not that much time to.
shall just blog about my birthday celebration.
which was the biggest thing recently.
turned 21st 2 days ago.
i'm into day 2 of being 21.
hehe.
held a celebration near my place and quite a handful of people turned up.
my mum invited her friends too.
so it was quite an affair.
haha.
anyway. pics of the people who turned up.
taken during the cake-cutting time.
well. almost all those who turned up.
some left earlier. so they arent in the pictures!
hehe.
how can a birthday celebration ever have the cake and birthday girl missing?
hehe.
i've been blessed with a swensen's 5 kg ice-cream cake.
macadamia nut cum cookies n cream flavour in it.
it's really nice.
i still have a portion of it left in my freezer but i guess i won't see it by the time i'm back.
hehe.
it's a really lovely looking cake!
my extended family.
my grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins.
haha.
quite a huge group of people.
not to forget my terrific family who started getting busy since at least a week ago to prepare for this celebration.
HUGE thanks to sis for getting all the things in place - food, cake, place, etc.
HUGE thanks also to mum for paying for the stuff. they are really ex. and for cooking wonderful delicious food to add on to the menu. despite the fact that her arm isnt very well and that she's tired from working. love you loads mum!
HUGE thanks to ying too!
BIG thanks to imran for helping me get my cake from swensen's and struggling with cutting the frozen cake. yes that's the problem with ice-cream cakes.

hehe.
it was fun having a get-together.
and i'm glad to hear from self-proclaimed 'the best' teeseng that because of this the few of them got the chance to catch up in ages.
hehe. too bad i missed out what you people were talking about!
hehe.
of course.
i've been showered with loads of blessings.
with the gifts which i really don't deserve.
some of them are really exquisite.
generous people.
but seriously i dont really deserve all these expensive and lovely stuff.
hehe.
the must mention present from my lovely family cum imran.

thanks my dearest family.

hehe.

teeseng wrote a 'letter' to just talk about how much effort he spent in shopping for the gift and wrapping it. and how much shuping didnt really do much even though she was sharing the present.
