THIS VERY MOMENT is such an FYP-productive moment but too bad I can’t do it right now cos other assignments come knocking! :( But thank You Lord, for this moment :))
My baby brother is finally 18!
Posted in family bytes on 02/06/2010 09:38 am by lingHappy birthday Zhi Zhi! :) Curi Hoongcha’s blogpost and will paste it below :D
Happy Birthday, My Brother
The boy will turn 18 tomorrow. Wow, time flies.Although being the youngest in the family, he never failed to show his maturity, be it in terms of respecting elders, never waste his food, spending money carefully, doing household chores and taking care of the house.
Except for.. not being able to make his own milo and only allowing Pei Yee to bully him.Although both of us have a 9 years gap… it never felt like one.
We shared the same interest in toy cars, musical instruments (my past-tense), badminton and being the quieter ones in the family. These, used to be our conversation topics but as time goes by, the baby boy grew older. Now, he talks about his vacation with his friends, his studies and the more serious stuffs like asking you for your opinion on what should he do next after graduating from secondary school.I used to be so worried about him once upon a time. I was worried that he would turn into a bad apple after stepping into secondary school because of peer pressure and all, but he proved me wrong (I hope). I guess he passed the “test”. Let’s see what he gets in the real exams.
These photos were taken way back in year 2005. My brother piggybacks us except for someone. That’s the fatty me on the right and Pei Yee on the left :-)
This was taken just 2 weeks ago :DLeaving for home in about two hours from now to celebrate his birthday!
Happy Birthday, my dear brother.
You know we all love you :-)
Look who’s back!! :)

Posted in Narnia, What would not fit into the FYP on 02/04/2010 12:16 pm by ling
…they could see that it was not land at all, nor even, in an ordinary sense, a mist. It was a Darkness. It is rather hard to describe, but you will see what it was like if you imagine yourself looking into the mouth of a railway tunnel – a tunnel either so long or so twisty that you cannot see the light at the far end.
… but beyond that again, utter blackness as if they had come to the edge of moonless and starless night.
Caspian shouted to the boatswain to keep her back, and all except the rowers rushed forward and gazed from the bows. But there was nothing to be seen by gazing. Behind them was the sea and the sun, before them the Darkness.
“Do we go into this?” asked Caspian at length.
“Not by my advice,” said Drinian.
“The captain’s right,” said several sailors.
[...]
But all at once the clear voice of Reepicheep broke in upon the silence.
“And why not?” he said. “Will someone explain to me why not.”
No one was anxious to explain, so Reepicheep continued:
“If I were addressing peasants or slaves,” he said, “I might suppose that this suggestion proceeded from cowardice. But I hope it will never be told in Narnia that a company of noble and royal persons in the flower of their age turned tail because they were afraid of the dark.”
“But what manner of use would it be ploughing through that blackness?” asked Drinian.
“Use?” replied Reepicheep. “Use, Captain? If by use you mean filling our bellies or our purses, I confess it will be no use at all. So far as I know we did not set sail to look for things useful but to seek honour and adventure. And here is as great an adventure as ever I heard of, and here, if we turn back, no little impeachment of all our honours.”
(The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis, Pp. 135-137)
My cute mum
Posted in family bytes on 02/04/2010 10:23 am by lingMum just got back from her usual morning market-ing, and came home with truckloads of stuff for the Chinese New Year, and as of every other year, she bought new bedsheets again! But it was really funny and cute to see her getting excited over the bed sheet even though she bought it for us. She bought me *green* bed sheet and *mickey mouse* bed sheet! :( I no likes the mouse!
But she said “I don’t care, I LOVE the brightness of the green!!” -_-
Here’s my excited, cute mother with the bed sheet!
A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23
Posted in from my readings, heart-warmer on 02/03/2010 07:45 pm by ling
Just finished reading this book last week and it was so good I went to get 6 copies of these!! :) Given 3 copies out, 2 more to go! :) Very lovely and wonderful thoughts surrounding the Lord as our Shepherd from a real shepherd’s point of view :) Jupe calls this book “A book that every elder should read” :)
Di hadiratMu

Di hadiratMu, aku puas
Di hadiratMu, aku bebas
Di hadiratMu ada t’rang,
Kehidupanku pernyataan kuasa kekuatanMu
Di hadiratMu ku datang persembahkan lagu
Di hadapan Rajaku.
At this juncture…

… I am thankful for:
- Trains and buses which were almost always there waiting for my arrival in the last 2 weeks of classes. I could have waited, but the Lord in His grace and blessing granted me minimal waiting time :)
- An especially wonderful superintendent to work with in Teens and also the other 3 whom I enjoy doing the Lord’s work with :) (p.s. Blessed birthday Uncle!!! :) )
- My FYP which has fried so much of my brain cells, and got me thinking like I never did before.
- My assignments which are piling up, which reminds me that this is probably the last time I’ll ever do assignments in uni with this bunch of friends, so treasure every second of it despite the workload and late hours :)
- The adorable toddlers in church who are such joys to just look at them :)) And also for lil’ Chloe (not so little anymore, this 9-year-old :) ) who just cheers my heart just by being her self :)
- My very comfortable bed that I could come home to every day :)
- Phillip Keller’s A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23… tremendously lovely thoughts surrounding our precious Shepherd :)) Highly recommended!! The book puts a smile to my train rides :)
- The Lord bringing YuMing back to us in YA last night :)
- The ability to communicate my thoughts in writing!! :)

The sky becoming dark near my house, on my way home from uni on Tuesday :) Easily fascinated, me :)
Later, even prettier and unexpected ’scenery’ by the highway where we had dinner! :) Christine’s Canon Digicam has better pix than my poor 2MP phone :) But nevertheless, here’s a sneak preview :) Dinner at Teratak Kampungku! :)
That’s KY doing what he does best ;)
More pics in Christine’s cam :)
Dinner with Uncle Jeff’s family :) The place was so packed that Uncle had to book the table in advance!! =/
(From left: Shaun, Adrian and cheeky Rachel :) )
Shaun asked me what is the antidote for pimples, and besides the usual T3 nasihat, I also advised him not to take too much nutty food, hehe. And then Adrian asked a really cute question, “Then squirrels got lots of pimples lor?” :))
Enjoyed my time with them very much! :)
SooAun kor, Rachel had fun singing all your Coconut, Banana and Watermelon Fruit of the Spirit songs you taught them in class. Hehe :))
First day of school…
Posted in this is for you, university on 01/27/2010 09:21 pm by ling…was Christmas! :)
These gila women (photo below taken more than a year ago with our newspaper project) asked me to not fill up my usually-rock-heavy bag so that I could bring these home!! These were my birthday gifts they stored since October, cos we were having sem break for 3 months… or more.
And PeiYee complained that I have friends who gift me with gifts SHE prefers, and that my friends are better than her friends. Haha. Meme’s gift not photographed because one is in the washing machine, and another is supposed to resemble me so it will not be disclosed :p
Thanks so much girls, for these almost 3 years of friendship :)) Will miss you people a lot when this semester ends :((
(But I won’t miss Meme’s violence)
And thanks so much Mishel (the only individual pic of the woman up there) for the lovely sling bag! :) Although been more than a year since I stayed with you in K3E, I remembered looking forward to return home each night from internship in Star and how you’d ask about our day back then cheers me up a lot :) And your stories about the neighbours’ kids who swim at night, etc. Hehe. Miss you!! :)
