Happy New Year 2014 :D

This year had been a huge blessing for me.
A lot of things happened.
This year had been all about things happening at the same time. And it all went frantic.
But it was all good!


Here's a quick list of what had happened this year for me:
- 11 winnings on Student Convention. Crazy!- Lulus Paket C. Never thought this'll happen before I was even in year 12. Unbelievable!
- World Conference & HarvestFestival2013. Refreshing time for the soul, and reunion time!
- Aussie trip. Priceless vacation with pop's family!
- I turned 17. Not extremely happy with this. Still, extremely thankful!
- I wrote a script for my church's play, and basically prepare for the whole service! It was very simple, imperfect whatsoever, but this was the first production where I really had a huge responsibility, and really saw through the whole process :) 
- Bali Trip 2013. A quick escape to the beautiful island, this time with my mum's fam :)


Other cheeky things:
- I lulus ujian piano and keyboard haha :D
- I got C privilege for the whole semester :)
- I moved on! From what? Who knows :p
- I attended lots'o sweet17 parties & celebrations :p
- I watched upacara 17 on TV :') after I missed it last year due to some trips :/
- PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.
- I missed school's christmas. First in 11 years :p
- among other things which I cannot mention here :p


Hmmm, i like to describe my 'years' with types of rides,
But trully this year I cannot describe it!
This year had been tense, all year long.
Still, with God's help, I somehow managed to get through it.

This year was a crazy year, so many unexpected things happened.
Lots of pressure, lots of hairfalls and tears and screaming why :p
But somehow I got through ( of course with God's help )


So,
I'm leaving this year with such joy that overflows,
For this year I can trully say,
Lord You are Good, and Your mercy endureth forver! :)

Hope you all embrace the upcoming year with happiness, and readiness,
Joy and hope,
Excitement and vision,
And have your best year yet!

Happy New Year 2014!

CHEERS!!!

MerrymerrymerryChristmas

I am so thankful for this Christmas!
I think this is the best Christmas yet!

I feel so lucky to be a part of my church's Christmas production,
I am so happy to spend the day bonding with my cousins,
I am grateful to reconnect and connect more with some friends of mine..

This really is the season to be jolly, and joyful, and thankful!

I can't thank Him enough for this beautiful 2 days: for this Christmas Eve and Christmas Day..

This year's Christmas does feel a little bit different.

I worried a lot during these 3 months about our christmas production, that I kindda miss out on the excitement of counting down towards Christmas, or preparing for the holidays.
But it was also amazing for 1000 other reasons :D


Anyway,
Ending this wonderful day,
Let me just wish all of you again, a

Merry Christmas!


Cheers!

Merry Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas all!

Last night was such an amazing experience!
It concluded all the heavy-but-exciting preparation, and I think we did well :)
Every thing in our Christmas Eve service went super smoothly, and every one was having so much fun :D

I never thought we could get to this kind of ending,
it was just too perfect :')
3++ months of preparation seemed totally worth it, even if it was just for 1 night, 1 performance :)

I can't thank all the committee enough for making this Christmas so beautiful.
Everyone had been working so hard, even sacrificing their sleep and time ! :D
The decor, the music, every thing :)

I can't thank the casts enough as well :)
They really brought my script to life :D
Although I don't plan on being a scriptwriter, at least I can be proud to say one of my script had been produced into a mini-play :)


Yesterday was concluded with a Christmas Eve late dinner with some of the committee and with my family.
It was beautiful and fun,

and last night was just so unforgettable.


Merry Christmas every one!

Hope y'all have a joyful and lovely Christmas,

Cheers!

Help out!

Helping others is not just 'another right thing to do'.
It's one of our responsibility to help people.

Sometimes we do help people,
But most of the times, we get picky in terms of who we should help.

Well, yes,
We can't always help everybody with everything, but look at what I found


Proverbs 21:13
"Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard."

It says it all, really.

-*^^*-

Do not love sleep!

hey y'all!

I just found this very interesting verse,
it's from Proverbs 20:13;

"Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty;
Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread."


Ooops!
So you sleep-lovers out there, beware!
You have been warned!


-*^^*-

Urgh!

Have you ever dreamed about things you knew could never come true?

I'm sure many of us have.

But what happens when they do come true.
And they exceeded what you imagined.
And now, instead of savoring them, you freaked out.
You want to get out of this.

Well,
I'm in that exact situation right now.
Stuck. But happy. But stuck.


Anyway,
Christmas prep is hectic!
And super fun, but also very tiring.
Pretty proud of my team so far,
hope we will be able to pull it off at the end.

But most importantly, I do hope many people that come to our Christmas service will be blessed,
by even the smallest little detail.
How simple it is, how amazing it is, how hard  we've worked,
How the story and the service and the sermon touched their heart,
How warm and friendly the ambiance of the room is...

I prayed that God will bless the performance, and touch people's hearts  through it :)

Work hard guys!


Meanwhile, I got to forget a little bit of the schoolwork and the so-called-future,
and stay present!
Enjoying the holiday, all the cakes and gifts and free time :D
Enjoying the time, really!


Well,
let me get back to what I do all day --> relaxing :p


Cheers!!!

Cannot Wait Any Longer

Christmas is coming to town, and boy, I am very, very excited!

What I love about this season is the hectic yet relaxed schedule of mine,
family gatherings, church and friend gatherings,
'tis the season to be jolly, y'all!

And yes, my schedule is deliciously hectic.
But I love it!
Rehearsals almost every other day, lots of things have to be written down and thought out, and lots of people have to be trained for the day so that everything went well..

The most important (and exciting) thing about this season though, is not what we do but why we do this.
Why we prepare such an event, why we went through all the troubles and push on to produce this event.
It's because we want to give our best to God, we want to celebrate, commemorate His birth, we want to celebrate the joy, love, peace that is within us, given by Him.
We want other people to feel what we feel, the gladness that we have because He came.

That's the best reason of all!


So,
I shall get back to preparing Christmas,

Cheers!

Rough

Life's not always about fun..
Most days we are dealing with things we do not like at all.

Yesterday I just heard of a shocking news that broke my heart. One of my friend's grandmother had died of a very unfortunate cause. It was very sad and shocking.

This morning when I woke up, I learned that Nelson Mandela had also passed away. This is a very sad news I am sure for a lot of people. Not only for South Africa, but for everybody that believes in the importance of education, and equality, and peace. He taught the world many things, and he changed the world.


A very though time, very rough hours.
I hope everyone out there is doing better.


We can never hope to meet someone and never to say goodbye to them. People does come and go, in their own ways, at their own times. What we can always do is to learn from them, and try to, somehow, make the world a better place.

We can never hope to establish a perfect world, where there is no crime, and discrimination, and mean people. But we can start somewhere and change the world for the better.


cheers,
