1 year old birthday

Yes!! I am 1 year old today! It's been a long but fast year with a lot of ups and downs, happiness and difficulties, positive and negative year. Throughout this whole 1 year, I've learn a lot, a lot about God. Thinking back 3 years, when I first came to NZ, I was alone. I know nothing about this foreign place except its full with greens, cows and sheep. I started to make friends or tried to make friends with Kiwi's, Americans and other ethnic groups in the halls, hang out with them and just follow what they do without know what was the purpose of doing it. I still remember the first time I got drunk, went clubbing and the ridiculous things I've done that year. I feel disgraceful thinking about it now.
I think it all started when I was first introduced to OCF. Met a lot new friends there that year and felt the warmth and homeliness feeling there, without knowing anything about God. There was something that kept me attending every Friday meetings. It was interesting knowing God for the first time, even when my grandfather was a Christian, he never thought me anything about Jesus or God. It was something hard to believe, so I never did but I still kept going, for a whole good two years.
It was that one night that I attended a talk/discussion held by a church that made me make that decision. I still remember that moment, that night when I said the prayer and accepted Lord Jesus as my saviour. It's just unforgettable and I could not really describe how I feel.
A few months after that memorable day, I sometimes did ask myself if I did the right choice. It's been quite hard for me to change in some ways as its' been 'me' for the past 21 years of my life. Now it's more about 'You'. The struggles I had this year really did frustrates me a lot. I did not understand why and I doubted, for a while. But thanks to my brothers and sisters, I still and will always have faith, trust and love God. I understand that He will never do anything that will harm me.
So yes, I am really looking forward to the years to come that was planned by Him, and keep growing in Him, learning more and more, worship, praise and thank my wonderful God. Thank You!

I Did It

YES! I finally had the courage to go up stage and took the class. It wasn't perfect, not even near to good but at least I gave it a go. I was out of beat all the time, forgot what to say for the next move and even did a wrong step, but all I did was go on and did not stop. Thanks to all my friends that supported me, and came to my trial class. It was definitely a stone for me to jump higher and I am really glad that I did not give up last minute. Most importantly, God was there and He gave me that courage, confidence, calmness and whatever I needed to be on stage. Thank You!
Body Combat Rocks!!!

Kidnapping and other Surprises!

Well, Thanks for the plan for my 22nd birthday! I am getting 'mature'. Lol! This was the best birthday I ever had so far! Really appreciate the effort of making it worked with me trying to spoil it as usual. =) Started with the 'kidnapping' plan but with all the doors locked. So it wouldn't happen if I did not willingly follow them. Was blindfolded in the car and was brought to Pak n Save. Guessed that as the route there is too easy and I thought that's it. We are heading home. But instead they took me somewhere else. The beach! While it was raining. Sang all sorts of songs including Negaraku =S. Since when they became so patriotic, even I never did that. But well, it was definitely a memorable one under the windy, rainy night at the beach. Oh yeah, that was at 12am.
In the afternoon, just went for lunch at a thai restaurant. Went home, slept, and then exercise. Came home after that and got a shock of my life!! Opened the front door with the main lights off and people screaming 'SURPRISE' really gave me a heart attack! Did not expect that at all! Thanks for that my 'friends'!! When you know that I am scared of the dark and you guys 'prank' me like that! hahaha... but we did enjoy the night with silly stuff. And so much for the phrase 'I want you to be spongey, not cheesy'. That cracked me up so much!!! I Love my friends so much!!! and Thank YOU for letting them be in my life! Thanks for all the wishes and gifts!

Snowboarding/ Workshop/ Mid-Sem Break

There goes my 2 weeks holiday, with none of my assignments done and all piling up. Went snowboarding again which was awesome since I am getting hold of my skills. Weather wasn't really good but the condition was still alright to stay at the mountain. Sixteen people and four cars in a tiny house of a friend. 8 people in the room and the rest crammed in the living room. That's a good way to bond =).
Les Mills Workshop on Saturday was awesome! Was my second one with the first one in February when I just got back. Trying hard to make myself to go up stage and take a class for the first time and it will be all good. Relauch at gym will be on the 16th of September. I will make sure I am ready by that time. It's time for me to wake up and do the right things. Have been so lazy this year.
Second week of holiday was planned to start on my overdue assignments but never touched. I really need to stop procrastinating. It's only less than 2 months till finals and I am so behind! I need discipline! and stop being a thief! stop stealing my own time!
