Yess!!

This whole week wasn't just youtubing. ((that video i posted was cute as in funny. meant to emphasise a no-brainer society....that we sometimes have in our lives. heh heh.))

This week was a whole lot more of seriously making time for my work, my calling or whatever. Talking to mom and dad, thinking, having ladies group, shopping with yuxin, going for a meaningful concert, thinking again, making passport, ...excited and stressed about a lot of things....more excited though. have to be positive in everything i do i guess...

hhahaha, reminds me of the long train ride from Almaty to Astana in Kazakhstan in 2004, we didn't know how long the train would take to reach the other town but we will just have fun and have a joyful peaceful time learning etc while we're on the train. great attitude to have in life eh? and no, i never got sick of the cows along the way...really. haha.

i'm seriously considering two things in general. two jobs again...that can be combined. hey that's a wonderfull idea!

silly youtubes

bimbos and himbos (lol)

i was just thinkin about how gals have their own preferences in males too, like how males have their constant comparisons about types of women.

like for instance i know one of my older gal frens, who's chinese (27 yrs old) who told me this:
"that guy's quite cute but he's Blond."
"whats wrong?" i said.
"guess its how the media pictures blonds u know...haha"
"oh the 'dumb blond thing'. i thot that was for women?"
"hahaha. yes but i guess it affects the way girls see the guys too."
"so u prefer brunettes for guys?"
"yea!!"

In a world that places a bit too much ImPoRtAnCe on looks...i'm wondering, is it those magazines? or is it TV? By the way, models on magazines are air-brushed (meaning, their pics are edited).

take a look at this you-tube (who said only girls were bimbos?):


i mean....seriously....sometimes it just gets ridiculous....how the media can just with one show.....influence all our thinking.

Thus with each magazine, book or show you or i watch, dig deep for the positive elements, analyse the negative and the spiritual content.

This and this but this

Life's irony is that sometimes we can get pretty confused about what we really want, or what makes us really happy. And so, we go in circles..heh so the irony is that this week passed so fast, without me sitting at the pc much...hahahha. When i actually tell myself its OK to not have much to do...its ok to rest and relax for two whole weeks.....then the WORK COMES! i'm just asking for it eh...? Planning, getting the resources i need, biangz, got a tuition job too.

But there were some good word from God i had this week. On tuesday and on thursday. tuesday one was affirmation, thurs was have to trust God to be that leader in where he calls. cheem stuff.

Wednesday also learnt quite a bit man. the hands on missions game...ooh k. was tough. :-| haha.....and wednesday was the last time i'm prob seeing my old teammates from previous job.

i just pray i dont get into culture shock for too long on 2 May. and they wont be shocked by me either. i hope they are normal and civilised. i'm sure i got a lot to learn from them as much as they can learn from me. this will be interesting...

btw, i dono who reads this blog. it be good if they left their names...

miss fresh air at bt gombak

I miss the days where i

Have fresh air every day
was living near a stadium which had a track
had a great jogging route to a beeyoutiful park
had a good view of the sky without much blocking of the skyscrapers (HDB flats)
when i didn't have to deal with workplace politics
(politics is ok but not the workplace kind)
had Space to run and run.


Had good workout at Gombak gym yesterday.....it was raining cows and lions.
This new job i'm taking on, WiLL be...a good time of learning...both ways. Me and them. Amen.

calling

Good yet bad

I know this is gonna be an oxymoron but this week was a little scary but strangely manageable. most would deem it as "scary" or "bad" to tell the truth but personally.... i feel:

sometimes God has to use things we usually call "barriers" (like we cannot get a task done, we can't get to a place at a certain time, etc) to actually direct our paths (or our 'bearings', to use geography terms) so we move in the right direction which is what He planned for us.

and if it took Him six and a half months (in this job) to confirm to me more or less where and what i should be going/doing....then it was really worth it.

If i were to ask God to swap problems, would i be able to carry THEIR problems

Non-Reflections of a sick week

Well this is not really a post on reflections i've had for this sick-blue week. I got hit with the virus on tues...and wed. So let's recap this week...strange how when you're sick you actually make full use of every day...as though fearing you wont be performing at your normal potential each day.

Tues i was shivering at work - got whacked by flu virus. early in the morning started. could feel the flu virus multiplying.....for once my imagination was put to "good use". :P couldn't even relate properly to majority (ppl).

Wed saw me cringing my way to work, because of the guitar-load plus the stupid germs. and the Phlegm....:PPP! thank God for the worship and the whole spiritual uplifting sermon and people later.

Thurs, 70% recvovered!! went for church drama prac!! duno what the thing we did was called but was hiL-aR-iOuS!!

Fri...our department went to eat "high class" food but ended up looking at people around the restaurant. knowledge: casserole is baked rice.
i learnt also, that everyone has their own problems...no matter how happy or at peace they look. If i were to ask God to swap problems, would i be able to carry THEIR problems...?so maybe all of us have our unique set which is something we CAN carry.

Had great time of gal-bonding with the tues-gals on sat....Leez's farewell to another land.
