Kay... so this is how it started... I... a 17 years old cowardy teenage girl who totally... i repeat TOTALLY freaks out when an insect/whatever non-human creature is on me or is flying towards me. (this includes tiny mini ants) Awesome right? =D... Few weeks ago, my church high school camp organised an outing to FRIM for jungle trekking. This jungle trekking was held this morning at 7am... On the last day of the registration date which was last week... I struggled whether to go or not to go... At last, I have no idea where I get the guts from... but I just signed up for it. It feels like... you know... many people (girls especially) are afraid to go into the hunted house, but they still desire to go for it and scream all the way through (those type of feeling)...  

The next few days after signing up for that outing... the Christian Fellowship room in my school was (can say) filled wif small tiny flying insects... At first, I didn't bother about it, until when suddenly they started flying towards me and crawling up my shirt... I screamed and ran like mad... That moment, I was thinking how would I survive jungle trekking which consist of more insects and !LEECHES! (sticks on your body and doesn't come out easily) I tell you... I was like freaking out... I thought in my mind, trying to comfort myself "Okay... you're gonna do this... Couage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared - Eddie Rickenbacker... You must be brave!"

So it was friday night (the night before the outing)... I went to cell group and... tada... there was one amazing new friend who told me the "story" of jungle trekking... Mostly on leeches!!! (what I was currently most afraid of in the jungle) He says that leeches can go inside your body underneath your skin and something like that... My fear... OF COURSE grew even worse... My imagination that time was decribed as undecribedably wide... I told everyone inside the car that how I hope I didn't sign up for this... I HOPE THAT TOMORROW I WILL OVERSLEEP SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO GO FOR THE JUNGLE TREKKING... when I reached home that night... it was already pass 1am. I immediately went to bed and slept and prayed to God that there will be no leeches or any other creature on me during the jungle trekking so that I would still be in one piece...

Well... God indeed answered my prayer... Im still in one piece and there is/was no leeches on my body... That is because what I "hoped" for did came true... I overslept and woke up only when my mom shouted "8.30 already lo!" I immediately jumped up from my bed and looked at the time "OMG... I'm like super duper late so I didn't get to go..."... I was kinda disappointed actually... then I thought... can go also sad... now cannot go also sad... what you want wor... but seriously la... its quite saddening... So... let me advice you this BE CAREFULE WHAT YOU WISH FOR, IT MAY COME TRUE! =D

Went to my god brother's house yesterday to help him build up and decorate the christmas tree... It was so much fun. We had a great laugh... Here is how it goes... my god brother and I... never once build up a christmas tree before... Yesterday was our 1st time... His dad took out the box of christmas tree unbuild for us... and we... figure out how to fix (build) it... The problem was that there was no instructions at all... So... we started with the stand... after figuring out how to fix the stand... next, we tried stuffing the first layer of the tree inside...

We try and we try to stuff and to screw... But it can't go in... We was wondering... is the base(stand) wrong or what... So, we took out all the screw out again and start over... ended up with the same thing (base)... So we thaught that it should be the tree problem... My god brother took a pair of sciscors and started trimming away the 'leaf' at the bottom... And after a few trial... We manage to fit it in... We were like FINALLY!!! We were sweating like mad but we were still jumping around cheering and being so excited or... a lil too over exited. 

Next, we open up the 2nd layer of the christmas tree... or maybe we THOUGHT it was the second layer... I notice something weird and said : " how come the "second" layer so big wan?? like much bigger than the "first" layer" After asking that stupid question... we just realise that we fixed it wrongly... As i said we THOUGHT it was the second layer... After all those effort we made trying to stuff the tree in... we had to take it out again and put the correct layer in... Thank God this time it was much easier... LOL. After that... YAY!!! I can finally say and not go wrong again that WE FINALLY BUILT UP THE TREE!!!!... both of us were super exshousted but we had extreme fun and laugh...

Next it is time to decorate... This is much easier than building it up (like MUCH MUCH MUCH)... After finishing everything... We look at the Christmas tree we built all by ourselves and gave a big smile of satisfication =)... After that... since I was fasting... Lovely Aunty Ngat Hoon (My god bro's mum) made a homemade mushroom vege soup jus for me... So lucky and warm... Its like a reward after that hardwork ^^

Another hillarious thing happened when we were building the Christmas tree... Since the Christmas tree was kept in a big box (rectagular shaped)... it was kinda dusty and all... and we found 1 coakcroach dead in the box... And a conversation started between my god bro and I :-

God Bro: Wow... This must be a lucky lil cockcroach
Me: How come (blurly)
God Bro: Because it has a coffin
Me: (MY GOODNESS... LAMENESS... -.-"... since when my god bro became so lame... <hang out with me too much?>)

After that great laugh... we begin to work... and I saw another dead cockcroach stuck on the tree... Yucks... Din;t dare to touch it afterwards... My god bro... this time... took a handful of kitchen towels and wrapped the cockroach up like a mummy... Lol... a mummified cockroach (sum more got coffin). Well... so this is how much fun we had... It might seem quite boring reading it... cos I know I quite "luo suo" but it was a great fun and a great experience... =)

    

Went to Singapore with family and my God brother 2 weeks ago... The journey was kinda boring and tiring but the trip is fun. Went to night safari the first day... Not the first time but still had fun especially at the show (forgotten wad's the name =D) Well... first day wasn't super interesting as we reached singapore quite late and unfortunately it was rainign badly when we reach. Thank God 'it stopped when night safari started ^^... 

On the 2nd day, we went to sentosa island (where we wanted to go on the 1st day but it was raining) with my cousin and my niece (not that i'm very old... im just 16). We spend all the time we have there just to sit on the luge... SUPER FUN!!!! Love the luge! After that, my lovely family purposely drop by a guitar shop just because I wanted to get a guitar for my own... So sweet of them ^^ Love them much... I got a guitar worth (300$) converted to M'sia ringgit is around RM640... I love my baby guitar so much... Couldn't stop staring and touching it after getting it =)... Here is how it looks like =)

My "non-living" baby!!! Luv it =3 (with a reflection of my doraemon =D)my baby guitar

However... I haven't figure out any name for it yet... Anyone have any idea can share =D Thanks ^^

My parents and I went back home the 3rd day... What an amazing trip... Got my lovely guitar ^^ Welcome to my home =D

Love Germ =)

This year's EMERGE (woohoo) is kinda challenging and faith stretching for me because im actually taking part in competitions i dislike - spelling bee and marching (footdrill... which i intially dunno what it means). Well, what that is even unbelievable is I actually scored medals for my cluster by these 2 competition. Okay... so this is how it goes... Foot drilling was fine or simply awesome... but spelling bee = disaster (was).

I was asked to join spelling bee because there was not enough people from my cluster to participate in this competition. Well, thanks to my "yes yes" attitude, I said yes, and im in... and guess what... the prelims is the next day and I hav like 1500 words to study in a few hours time. I thought it was gonna be easy... but with the pronunciation and all... OH MY!!! It is worse than word power! (well, maybe because i dislike spelling and prefer memorising) That night, I was in church till 12am, practicing drama for drama compertition. I couldn't control my emotions and cried, thinking of quiting, but something in me just ask me to hold on. When I reach home, I thought of printing those words out to read in my bed, cos my dad was very mad of me coming home late, so it won't be wise to study that time. Unfortunately, there was 150 pages to print and printing those out is a NONO!!!! I couldn't think of anything to do at that moment, so I sleep -.-".

The next day, I went early to church, thinking that I can have the resources to study but the answer was no. Finally, I became wise enough, to depend it all on God! AMEN! I quiet down my heart in the cafe, and prayed quietly. I commit every single thing onto God's hand and believe Him that through Him, nothing is impossible. So here it comes, spelling bee prelims, I said my last prayer before going up for the competition. Miraculously, I passed the prelims easily and Im in the finals (YAY) PRAISE THE LORD!!!! =)

Well, since I'm in the finals, I planned to go all out and do my best for God and also for my cluster. After recieving those finalist word list (thank God this time it is just 200 words)... I immediately started studying in front of my computer (checking the pronunciation), hoping for the best. After weeks of studying, finally the day come. I was super nervous, to be honest, afraid that I will shake like how i used to in front of everyone. Despite that, I was confident, not over, cos I have studied everything, almost (of cus in the 200 words, there will be some that I'll forget or miss out). After being tested by some friends, I became more confident. Of course, again, before the competition started, I commit everything to God again through my prayers, believing that only with Him on my side I can win this competition, cus my competitor was quite a tough one i suppose.

So, the time has come, the competition started. Once our pronuncer (MISS KOH ESTHER wohoo!!) pronunced our word, we stunt. Although we both got the first word correct, the rest of the 4 were all wrong.  None of the words we study in the list they gave us came out!!! We became more nervous and nervous each time, hopping that this will end fast. (Well, we are still humans) So... it came to the lightning round where both of us have to press the buzer as quick as possible to answer and the first one who answers correctly wins. The funny thing is, when the word is being pronunced, both of us look at each other not daring to press the buzer. The lightning round became the 'waiting round'. After a few rounds of 'waiting', the host finally get bored and gave us a word 'UNBELIEVABLE'. I pressed the buzer first and spelt the word correctly and I won the competition (yay... not) This is the first time I actually won something but don't feel the joy over it. I felt sad and teared again... (weak'nya) All the weeks practicing preparing myself for this competition, have just been a waste like dat... That was what I thought first. I tried my best to let go of this, trying to forget 'bout this thing, and finally noticing that I was just escaping the truth and not facing it.

Again, I quiet down my heart, and prayed to God, asking Him to bring my joy back again. And now, I can feel joy and peace in me and Im happy again and as Chi-La as usual =) Foot drilling in the other hand went on very well, won a silver for that, but 1 thing I wanna thank God most for that is the fellowship and for those new friends I made ^^. This years emerge, although had cos me many tears, but I believe that God is stretching me, and preparing me for better things that are going to happen, especially leading and training up new batch of leader for my CF annual Easter Rally again. I know very well in my heart that it is gonna be very tiring and a tough job for me (add on the stress for facing SPM next year) but I am prepared and this time, more prepared to be stretched and used by God again and also believing that He will always be there for me, to give me rest and strength when I need it! =) I believe a better purpose in me! Emerge for me this year, one word to describe - UNBELIEVABLE!! =) Emerge is over right now, but we CHCians have just started to rise! AMEN!!!! Our God is a good God. =) ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS JUST ASK AND BELIEVE! (according to His will of cus) ^^... Really wanna thank God for giving me a chance to participate in these competitions, making me like things I dislike before. Also thank Him for placing me in such amazing church with amazing people!!!!! Of cus I also wanan thank my leaders and also those who asked me to join spelling bee and footdrill ^^

Visit to Tenmoku Pottery

Together with Ee Laine, Jocelyn, Yi yin and some other students in school, we went to visit the tenmoku pottery factory weeks ago. We get to see and observe a little bit of how pottery works... Reminds me of Kim Bum... ahhh... =) Neways, after visiting the factory, we get to colour our own cup, and it was sent to the school few days ago. The colour we used before heating was red, but after heating, it turns brownish black because of the high heat preasure. We had some fun figuring out how to design our own cups and this is how mine turn up.

My Cup after heating, kinda cacated but loving it more and moremy cup
