Goodbyes....

Yup... saying my goodbyes to City-A-One.. which I won't be going back to for this coming 10 months.. Though I didn't really visit anyone particularly, except to be home with mom, nephew & niece.. and also sis in law. Time flies by so fast, eh.. I am now back to PeeJay.. and I have few more days left.. Wow..

Anyway, am glad that I will be going to good OL' church tomorrow, for the last time too.. I scribble as if I am not going to come back for a long long time.. well, I really do not know actually.. Would anyone know ah? Mm.. God knows!.. hehehe.. that's for sure.. :D

Oh Yes.. Just wanna put up a picture I took of one of my favourite food back in hometown.. hehehe.. I had them on Friday afternoon.. Just wanna do that before I leave..

You won't be able to get this elsewhere.. hehehhe..

Few more goodbyes to do.. and the rest of the time would be with family.. parents, especially... hmm.. amazing that it is so near now... Wow.. Hmmm... how things change.. plans changed... Only God knows what is ahead.. I have stopped figuring that part out and left it to Him to guide me.. Me just focus on the "present".. and make the best out of it.. with hope & dreams of what is to come and looking to Jesus!

Good night my all time readers... hehehehe...

Pendulum...

Why am I scribbling about this? coz this picture and word after being spoken of got stuck in my little mind for the past days.. the pendulum picking up momentum.. what does it mean to me? Mmm... I am wondering and placing this thought at the foot of the Cross, trusting that God will reveal in His appointed time and place.. *winking cheekily*

Another Countdown...

Countdown of days is here... it is so near now.. roughly seven more days before I fly.. Time does fly by fast, especially when so many good things are going on.. This countdown, to me, would be abit difficult to count and yet at the same time am looking forward to the day.. Guess it is pretty normal.. It is never easy for someone to leave a place where it is so comfortable and with loved ones and friends.. I am feeling that now.. Truly am.. and at the same time (it is like almost simultaneously same), am excited about going to a new place, new country... being at peace at the same time is very important.. In fact, I believe it is crucial to have the peace of God... relax yet excited yet sad for leaving.. are we capable of having all these different feelings coming together at the same time?? I think we are capable!.. hehe... gift of God? mm...

Time...

I found the above pic from the net... time is valuable.. it means... and it is true.. and we need to treasure time.. Time with loved ones and friends.. I guess as I am going to leave real soon for a long period of time, this just speaks more to me.. coz I won't be seeing my loved ones and friends for a long time.. minimum of 10 months and many things could actually take place in the 10 months.. Just for example, in a few months time, my niece would be walking and my nephew would be talking even more.

Yup... Time... is precious and valuable... O Lord, please grant me wisdom to know how to make full use of time.. and to make the best out of it.. to have fun and memorable moments with everyone who are important to me.. *grinning*

Authentic Drink..

hehehe.. I drank an interesting drink yesterday for lunch.. it is called alcohol coconut drink.. mm.. never drank it before and it was an interesting drink indeed.. This is the picture of it too!.. looks like coconut drink.. just that this one is with alcohol in it, to give it a different flavour and well, a touch of sweetness n fragrance feel.

Hold on a minute!.. mind you that it is not those type that could make you feel tipsy.. I didn't feel at all tipsy so, guess it is a rather mild trickle of alcohol then..

Awesome Moment....

This is the type of experience that little Josh is going through almost everyday.. and the latest would be to cycle in the neighbourhood.. and he enjoys it so much... I find these moments so precious.. and it is so precious to little Josh.. and once he grows up, he would appreciate it even more.. *smile*...

Photo of grandma and little Josh...

Isn't he smart looking in his vehicle!.. and he cycles very well too... check out the two videos below too.. I have videoed a few that day.. coz I wanna capture moments like these...

Awesome experience in a normal settings of life!.. and this is what I call simplicity too... so, I call this awesome moment!.. and this add to my "Moments" collection.. *grinning*...

The Day is getting nearer...

I have been like super busy.. well, busy being outside and not being home, in front of the laptop.. So, didn't scribble as much as I would want to. Anyway, I had a great feast of durians last Saturday night.. Yummy!.. Cell members said I was "high" on durians.. *grinning*.. just love it!..

Mm.. don't know what to scribble today except to say that the Day is getting nearer.. ya.. excited.. and yet, wondering have I done all that I need to do? Seen the people I need to see? hehehe.. Cool, girl.. One step at a time.. *wink*.. I am talking to myself..

Amazing how time flies by.. and well, many things have changed.. These days, even as I go to different, various places, I somehow take notice of differences.. and my goodness, so many have changed even in the span of weeks.. Mm.. So, guess by the time when I come back next year, definitely, there will be much changes.. Good changes, I hope.. Well, I am praying that good changes would take place too in my life and my family too!.. and also for my friends and loved ones!.. Looking forward to hearing news like... so n so is growing deep in the Lord, so n so has accepted Lord Jesus as their Lord and Savior, so n so getting a new opportunity and move, so n so getting married, so n so is having their first baby.. etc etc...

Well.... yup.. Looking forward.. and yet at the same time, treasuring what I have before me.. spending time with significant people in my life.. and even making significant phone calls to some whom I couldn't meet up.. Writing notes and notes..

Hehe.. time for me to get ready to go out for the day.. so discipline, huh? hehehe.. well, going out to have fellowship!.. fellowship time is great and wonderful!.. relaxing and fun.. cherrio...

Scribbling Craze....

Hehehe.. I am having the scribbling craze! Just wanna scribble scribble scribble.. wonder it makes sense or not.. well, you know, like writer or artist... when the thoughts come, they just wanna write or draw.. the connection is there! and it feels so easy to just write and write.. or draw and draw.. Just like what I am feeling now, so easy and flow-y to scribble and scribble..

Maybe also because I have time.. and my mind is kinda "free".. not entirely but more space for scribblings.. I thought I was tired.. Mm.. but now, it is like the energy is back to scribble.. but actually hor, I got couple of books in hand to finish reading before I go off.. coz I can't bring them over.. My luggage weight couldn't take them.. so sad.. but what to do.. So, gonna finish reading them soonest possible! hehehe..

Anyway, the one before me at this moment is titled "The Sensitivity of the Spirit" by R.T. Kendall... I like his writings.. clear and easy to read and to reflect upon.. Anyway, coming back to the many books to be read, that is just me, to have many unfinished books to read.. but there are books which I finish pretty fast.. It is sort of like, I can drink in the writer's flow of thoughts naturally.. and hence, the quickness of finishing the book.. hehehe.. ever had that before?

Mm... lets get back to the book I mentioned above.. it is all about learning to stay in the flow of God's direction.. How do we do that? well, have to read the book and find out.. I know I need to find out and to learn from the author.. even to catch a glimpse and hopefully more than just a glimpse of what it means to being sensitive to the Holy Spirit..

Hehe.. My scribbling craze has gone everywhere now.. but it feels so good to be able to just scribble of my thoughts.. to reflect.. to digest and to see different sides of even a simple thing..

Halt!... wait a minute... I am having this crave for chocolates out of the blue.. hehehe.. so, gonna scribble off now.. to pop in one of those lovely chocolate that my wonderful dad bought... ta...

Some Reapfield photos..

hehehe.. managed to take some photos with colleagues at Reapfield.. hope to take some more on 22nd August 2008.. when I go back for a couple of hours.. Well, for now, here you are....

Jen, Gracie, Melia, Me (of course) and Tim...

Same same.. except addition.. Wilson..

Me and the Reapfield Tech guys.. (Choong, Jef and Adie)

The lady behind the phones.. faithfully answering calls.. Ros..

More photos to come, I hope... I did a boo-boo on last day of work.. Brought my Cam but forgot to charge it.. geez.. oh well.... there will be another chance soon.. hehehe..

The meaning of....

"Relinquish"... according to the freedictionary.com is

1. To retire from; give up or abandon.
2. To put aside or desist from (something practiced, professed, or intended).
3. To let go; surrender.
4. To cease holding physically; release

Why am I scribbling about this word? Well, seems like quite a few people using this word to me recently and I was rather curious to find out what is the difference between this word and the word, "Cease"... which means as follows:

1. To come to an end;
2. To stop performing an activity or action;

Sounds like the same meaning, relatively.. but relinquish sounds like a nicer word to use.. hehehe.. Well, this is a flash time for "English lesson"... how interesting.. bleh.. hehhe... It is more for me to understand, actually...

(Scribbler feeling hungry... gonna get food.... )

Zip Zap Boom...

"doink"... "doink".... goodness me.. that was exactly what I felt today.. for a tinkle moment.. heheh..

People say when you are not working, you would be very free... How come it is otherwise for me? Oooh.. coz I am leaving the country and therefore need to do many things! *wink* Frankly speaking, it is rather tiring.. perhaps I have packed almost everything into a few days... and ran around so much.. Anyway, today is the second day... I am almost there with the things that I need to do and settle.. I am ticking off my to-do-list.. and I also have my people-to-meet-list too.. Hope I didn't miss out anyone.. If I do, my apologies....

Well, am feeling tired at this very moment.. gonna go out for a simple meal with bro and then back to my cozy corner of reading.. and then dreamland.. tomorrow will be an early day too for me! Got breakie appointment.. dinner appointment as well... In between, will probably do some more shopping of stuff and then packing of stuff.. yup.. that is the rough plan for tomorrow.. subject to change, of course..

Hope I don't fall as I zip-zap around... Must watch my steps.. *grinning*
