Erm....err...
I never really touch much on F5 and F7.
Yucks!
Because I'm right here blogging.
Ooo....
Had nightmare for the past 2 days. All the scenes from violent, bloody, gory and horror movie become alive!
Watch Jumaji? Ya, like that. Everything just popped out.
*pop*
My fellow soldier, including me are getting exhausted over this war.
Hold on people! Hold on sherene!
Just a few days more to fight this war and we are free from bondage.
Temporarily...
So at the moment, no matter how is the weather like, we have to chiong ar!!!
Everyone has changed their facebook status from bad to worst!
Eg1. Study hard hard, die hard hard!
Eg2. xxx is down, audit win liao!
and many more....
For me, I've set it as: "Sherene is in a faith vs fear battle! Who will win?"
Pek check aura is indeed arising!
We are not greedy at all. All that we want is just to pass.
Yes, just a pass will do.

A dead end I see when I study F5.
A ray of hope I see in F6, F7 and F9 if I do not study F5.
Ignore F5?
It will be a forever dead end then.
Study F5?
It shatters the hope of F6, F7 and F9.
I'm clueless in F5.
Lord, teach me!

No mood to study.
I know I should be working very hard now as exam is very near.
I've just wasted today.
It has been an idle day.
I really do not have the desire for book for the whole day.
The fire has die down.
I want to go home.
But could I ever face my family with this kind of result?
I feel what I felt during preparation for SPM.
Nothing seems to stay in my mind.
No input can be detected.
Study but knowing that the result is .....
No, I cannot afford to see the F word in my result slip anymore.
Where has my faith gone to?
Fear has overtake faith.
Father, take over!
I do not know how to help myself anymore.

Evangelists

I'm having my break time from studying..... and I'm on my roommate's laptop.

I choose to pen down something edifying rather than some " for the sake of updating " entry.

I must admit that I'm lacking in the area of evangelists recently. My friends do ask about my christian faith. The answers that I gave, was just a surface one. I used lots of illustrations but fail to convey the real message. Could it be it is not the time to tell them yet? When would be the right time then?

Philip the evangelists. That was the message that was being shared on the pulpit yesterday. I took it home as any other message, without any superb transformation happened in me.

However, in my own still and quiet time with God in the afternoon, God directed me to two passages that speak of this matter, so ever clearly.

2 Timothy 4:2
.......speak of the gospel, in season and out of season.....

Ezekiel 3:18
.....did not warn them.........hold you accountable for his blood.......

Then I continued reading the book that I've been reading, Purpose Driven Life.
( yea, I know I'm out-dated )

It is stated that Mat 28:19 as the Great Commission; not the Great Suggestion.

A lost soul is just beside me. So close. I believe God gave her to me.

Go, sherene! Do great things for God.

Selah

Amidst of challenges, God is there.
Amidst of challenges of challenges, God is still there.
God never says that we will feel Him all the time, though we ought to but we fail at times.
He promised that He will be there whether we feel His presence or not.

I believe so, God.

I am taking it down one by one.
With much lessons of faith.

You shut the door but You open the window. ( thanks vivien. )
For You are merciful.

I ask of your continuous help to be upon me in order to help others.
I ask of your continuous blessing to be upon me in order to bless others.

I'm ok.
Just pausing for a moment to think and reflect.
Selah.
And I realize how good God has been to me.

RM 50.00

There is a camp called Leadership Training Camp. Organized by the student government board of INTI-UC. Registration form came as early as last month. This camp will be held this weekend @ Sepang Gold Coast. I've been to that place. Beside the almost polluted sea water, the scenery was fine. The taukeh of this place is a developer from Bangsar Gospel Center. For those who are interested, kindly look for this guy for advance booking. When I first heard of it, I was reluctant to go. Up till today, I am still reluctant. It said that preferably top 4 of each club sign up and minimum one representative from each club. I check into my calendar, there is a full list of places to travel to every weekend. Not to shop but to settle stuff. My mom said that I'm a busy woman because I cannot stay longer at home. I know. I admit. How I wish I have a month of holiday which is not possible in my course of studying. Anyway, the fee for this camp is RM 50.00. I can escape from paying out this money if I choose not to go. In the end, sherene is not going.

On hari raya eve, I took out my ID. A jogging-mate of mine told me to being ID out in case the guard check on our ID when we walk into hostel later. After a good long bath that night, I remembered bringing out my ID just now. I searched high and low for it and couldn't find it. Argh! I even called my friend to check whether I left it in her car. Still negative. No sign of my ID. Make a new ID??? It costs RM 50.00!

No option. RM 50.00 have to be paid out. A replacement of IC is still cheaper compared to replacement of ID. Lost of IC for first time, the fine is RM 30.00. Inti straight away charge flat rate of RM 50.00. No wonder the phrase "I love Inti, Inti loves my money." is such a cliches among the student here. Tak kena maka tak tahu!

A clumsy me dropped my purse this afternoon I think. My ID almost dropped out. -.-' but from a different compartment! Weird! I do not place my ID there. Whatever is it, I picked up my purse and headed to my destination.

I took out my purse again 10 minutes ago. I found 2 IDs in it. -_________-'''

What could this incident mean? Sign up for the camp? Be careful of where I keep my card?

>.<

T_T

I am not rich ok?

Mean=First born? ( Rebuttable )

Dad: "As an eldest child, you have to gain the respect of the younger siblings. So that they will listen to you. To do that, you must say things that would make them feel nice. Then, they will know that someone cares for them. I know you don't mean what you said but sometimes it is the way you said it. Right now, it is like a follow-up thing, spend some time to call or sms. It is like an investment. You will see the return later. You make the first move. That is what I as a father feel that I should tell you"

I dare to say it in such a way because you too say it in such a way to me and so I took it as you are ok with such speeches. In the end, you take it not the way as I thought you would take it.

Yea, unintentionally.....
I am sorry........
We are NOT in not speaking term nor quarreling.
"Air yang dicincang tidak akan putus." ^.^
It takes two hands to clap.

But I must say this, I think it runs in our family. Everybody seems to be straight forward (for the good and bad) when we speak. Intruders sure die!!! "Bersatu teguh, bercerai roboh."

I know you will read this post and my blog in November or December. Go ahead and read. =)
No secrret. =P
____________________________________________________________________

The responsibility (blame?) would always goes to the eldest child--the first born. At times, I wish I am the only child. O.o

God took favor on the first born. From offering animal sacrifices to the passover incident and many more. How privilege am I to be the first born child of my parents! ^.^

Be thankful!
____________________________________________________________________

Dad dropped by nilai to have dinner with me recently. He went up to north. On the way down south to Malacca, he dropped by to spend time with his FIRST BORN CHILD. LOL!!! It has been a fruitful time spent over the dinner table. We witnessed a car accident happened together!!! O.o We chatted for a while thereafter. ^.^
____________________________________________________________________

I am feeling ....... to go to class. I didn't in the end. And my time is spent on blogging this post. Don't straight away judge me without asking why okay? -.-'
____________________________________________________________________

For me and for the world at large,

Psalm 141: 3

Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips.

James 3:5-6

Likewise the tounge is a small past of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tounge also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

I wish one day we can all go shopping without parents. Hehehe!!! Wait till I get my first car!!! In a few years time. Hehehe!!! =P

Last minutes!!!

I am hiding my anger.

Disguised.

For those who know me well enough, I do not like to do things last minutes.

You are the one who initiated it but I do not see any effort from you despite of me giving you tonne of suggestions to get things done. You want me to do it instead. Is anything wrong with your interpersonal skill? You knew it from the very beginning that you wanted to do this and you did not get it done and procrastinated. Things would be much more perfect if you realized this earlier. If you want to do something, please do it well. Do not waste my time on doing nonsense. You do not seems to get me when I am already giving you a clear and simple answer to your question, I've repeated 3 times my answer for a few questions. I feel like a bad guy right now for helping you. Chasing money? Keep on msn-ing people despite of unclear direction of what to do? I know you are busy on other matter which is important too. Let me repeat again. I do not mind helping. However, what is the use of doing something without direction? Why play football where you do not know where is the goal post? Why study when you do not intend to get a qualification in hand? Why never practice management theory of delegation when you are being exposed to this subject in your course of study?

Nevertheless, I hope everything goes well after all the planning.

God, I am disappointed and angry.

Teach me patience
Teach me love
Teach me forgiveness
Amen!

mission aborted

Lazy to blog about about the retreat that I said I will blog ......
No la, no time okay???
Sorry.......

The absence of faith is fear.

The consequence of not being acquiescent is remorse.

On top of that,

I think I feel 'something'.

It is not fitting to have those things in my mind.

Beside, God is not going to be pleased at it.

It deprived other people from my care and love,

regardless they are the subject of that 'something' or not.

Overcame it through prayer not too long ago.

I shall do the same this time.

ok, off to cg now.
how to concentrate?

Barely sound brain

Was away for Inti Christian Fellowship Committee retreat in Oasis Youth centre, Subang Jaya on the 5th to 7th. Pics are not with me yet. Will upload it later when I get it. And will bla something about it.

Exhibition week starts tomorrow. All club will start to fight for member. Business minded - the more you have, the more powerful you are. Whatever~~~~~

More secretary job needs to be done. My secretary roomie from other club already complaint. ( Before the thing even started? ) I am in Deloitte Tax Challenge. 1st round starts next tuesday. I don't even bother of winning or losing. (Terriblezzz!!!) Hey, I begin to lose track of my studies already. Sherene, follow timetable!!! Remember the number --> 4!!! It's either spell as four or si.

Hmm~~~ mentally tired la....

Stop.

God is here.
He will make a way where there seems to be no way out.
Believe.
Practice faith.

Psalm 63:1
O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

No longer a mystery

Holidays are ways too short for me. T.T However, one week is better than no holiday at all. ^^

Northern part of peninsular Malaysia has always been a mystery to me. It could be that I am in southern region for my whole life. Beside, traveling from south up to north is a long distance. I pity my father for driving 3 to 4 hours. I am only allowed to drive between Nilai and Malacca. -.-' So do not blame me for not helping out in driving. However, he brought me to drive on old trunk road where heavy vehicle is the king of the road. Yup, this is more challenging! See the way I 'drift'. LOL.

Panjang lebarnya...... my intro ( my blog leh, I like la! )

I was in Ipoh, Perak darul Ridzuan on the 24th to 26th. ^^

The town that is famous of its delicious local food. To add something interesting on top of that, I feel that Ipoh's girls are naturally beautiful. ( ahem, ask beng hui and geng yi. )

After planning one month before the day comes, the day finally comes. The original plan was, vivien, xiu mei, vincent and me will spend our holiday together in Ipoh cum care group outing. I think it was pretty cool ~~~ But sadly in the end vivien couldn't make it. Never mind, we'll go for another one.

Here we goes off to Ipoh~~~~ and sing the song, Ipohmali~~~~~

Xiu mei and me departed from inti at 2.10pm. The whole journey took us around 1.5 hours. We are supposed to meet vincent at Bukit Jalil Stadium. He was attending the 30 hours famine thingy where they fasted for 30 hours. Lo and behold, it rained suddenly. Wet! On top of that, we do not know which stadium to go. We walked around, a big round rather, under the shield of an umbrella to a Buddhist event! LOL! Sesat la! I thanked God that we managed to meet vincent because everybody is wearing the same t-shirt and it was so hard to identify. Off we go to have our dinner at 4.30 pm because this group of people have not eaten any solid food for the past 30 hours. Oh ya, in the end we got a free ride back to Ipoh. So all our effort of traveling under the rain sort of got paid off. ^^

We reached Ipoh around 8 something if I am not mistaken. We stayed in vincent's house. Thanks a lot our dear cg leader for letting us to stay in. We bathed, rested and watched the closing ceremony of Olympics too. LOL. We talked to his parents. Yea, they are friendly. A father with a smile. A soft-spoken mother. Xiu mei and me thought that we should learn to be like that too. Soft-spoken huh? Then, we went out mamak with his parents. How nice! We ordered tea, haha, got 2 colours and has mild ginger taste. I forgot the name. Talk and talk and talk. The clock showed it was almost 12. The night is still young I know but his mom needs to work tomorrow. So we had pillow talk in his house instead. ^^

Vincent is the one in spectacles. The rest are his church youth.

25th of Sept

Everybody overslept except me. -.-' I think it was because I couldn't sleep well at night. ( no nid to feel bad vincent. ) We went out for breakfast at old town and sight seeing. We went to clinic too! Nola, we waited in the car while his dad go and get mc. We had white coffee, yong tau fu, zhu jeong fan. Sorry no pics. Hmm.... Not bad. Nice! Taste almost the same as Malacca food except for white coffee. Not sure what they added into the coffee. O.o

Koleksi perkahwinan... geng yi is it this shop?





Breakfast here. "The best white coffee in old town"

Branch of Sg. Kinta


Xiu Mei and me

Then.......we went home. Well, nature's call for all of us at the same time! LOL.

Next --> kek lok tong


Cave! Yes! Cave! Beautiful indeed! It is none other than the great work of our Creator! The Maker of heaven and earth. The cave was somehow converted into a temple. The characters of journey to the west is here too! I will let the pictures to do the talking.

How tiny are we!
Chris Tomlin: " How great is our God. Sing with me how great is our God. ~~~"

Double chin T.T


Inside this cave, there is a beautiful garden. Praise God of His handiwork!

Raindrops falling on my head! It is mineral water from the cave. Slippery floor!

Really never expected there is such a beautiful view in the cave.

The lilies of the valley, the bright and morning star.


Next --> Tortoise pond


We saw iguana! Big one! Those stray dogs were running for their lives! Watch!

Then we went one round without seeing the sign of tortoise. So we started calling out Master Ougui!

That's a parrot not tortoise xiu mei. lol.



Mating..... We watch that for like 15 minutes. Curiosity is the first step of learning sometimes...

watulookinat!

Next--> Duck rice



A bit similar to the the shop in taman merdeka, Malacca where my primary school classmate is the chef. We went to get heong peng in a shop a few doors away.

Next --> Nap time

Human needs rest right?

Next --> Evening session

Fill our empty stomach by searching cendol which couldn't find and ended up in a mamak stall where we got slaughtered. T.T It was drizzling already. NO......... We are going to a park for a walk!!! In the end, we did went to park but too bad it was raining. We sat in a car and bought a bowl of cendol from a random seller.

It was almost dinner time already. This guy bermegah-megah want to show us his primary and secondary school and the town. This was the part where xiu mei had to really scream and shout for food. Hey, that was no ordinary screams and shouts! I closed my ears to protect my ear drum while vincent suffered because his hands were on the steering.

Next --> Lou Wong ( Dinner )

Nga Choi Gai! Bean sprouts here are crunchier, fatter and bigger! Chilies here are spicier! Well done! I like! And hor fun too!

Tourists shop. Tourists price. Never get conned.

Next --> Visiting (sherene)

My father asked me to check whether his Sunday school's teacher is still there. Yes, she is still alive! LOL. The world is so small. Her husband is currently a speaker in RBS. Hohoho! So to say I met up with her husband without knowing that his wife was my father Sunday school's teacher. LOL. We joined in young working adults prayer meeting in Elim Gospel Hall. Yay yay! More food to eat!

Next--> Visiting (xiu mei)

Meet church's friends before she flies off to UK.

Next --> Back to vincent's house at 12 for we are all good girls and boy.
Another pillow talk session.

26th of Sept

Breakfast at one of the shop. Try out variety of local chinese food.

Next --> Kellie's Castle

This is the part where he went sesat! -.-'


We passed by 2 rows of abandoned shop houses where people practiced black magic sometime ago. Imagine if you pass by at night! Wooo~~

When heat and mosquitoes attacked sherene.........zzz




On the way back, we had cendol.

Next --> Some shop

Lunch

Next --> Bus station


Thanks a lot vincent. You're good boy, good host and good person. ^^
