What makes God so faithful?

His word. His spoken words remain true throughout time, regardless of time.

And whatever God speaks, it becomes law not only to men but also to Himself.

And God keeps His word.

"...so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it" Isaiah 55:11

God also promised.

"...For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

God, I thank you that everyday, my only choice is to trust in You.

i'm so tired its not funny doing nothing seem to be the right thing.

but Dr. House said, it is wrong to not do anything.

went for a swim after work, like finally, after wanting to go for so long but didnt;

just because i dont have shower cap; whereby chlorinated pool water will spoil my hair.

but i got back late from work today just wanting to swim;

and asked my sis law simply "do u have a shower cap?"

she said "yes" then handed me a box of hotel shower cap.

i looked at her at blink. she looked back and blink.

she was quick,"what is it that you were asking for again?"

then i realised i asked for shower cap.

so i asked again if she had a swimming cap she said YES

which was so awesome and then i went swimming!

i'm so tired. i need to memorize the map of europe.

i need to know airline schedules by heart.

why? so that i can fill many many blanks.

i'm so tired.

20 January 2010

hey today is 20.01.2010

what a cool date i just realized! zzzzz.

how are you? been quite a while. hows your resolution going?
i did cross trainers. 2km in 16 min. while watching american idol, wipe out and glee. omg all three are so so so funny. but i've been procastinating. did no swimming, no fitness ball, no weights. and no books, no textbooks. such a loser. i should revise those plans. too ambitious. but i did manage to walk out of Watsons today with less than 5 items! only 2 Eclipse mints and an eye brow pencil that i REALLY NEED cause i misplace my very only one. that, is a good justification. well done. and i've been religiously using all the products that i hoarded - hair mask, lotions upon lotions, etc. gotta work on the lippies though. use use use!

i am also still jet lagged. which is unbelievable; not because i'm strong but because its been so long! i arrived friday so i should be fine but i'm not!!! i'm stoned tired by 3 or 4pm and when i get home i cant help it but nap and wake up around 12 or 1am then sleep again at 4am then to work. sucks! worst jet leg ever.

Btw London was great. meeting up with Delene & Nat was fantastic - altho short but great nevertheless. i went straight to Reading from Heathrow - snow everywhere and so pretty! London was cold too; snowed only a day which was beautiful too but rained the next - COLD! i actually missed home a lot while i was there; thought the coffee there suck big time! and was craving for MSG!!! delicious food u got there but i need the 'masin' taste yoh!

view from London office - pretty! i couldn't stop staring out the window.

some ducks and a swan - saw them while walking around Reading.

Reading
Reading again.

did manage to squeeze some shopping; nothing spectacular just toiletries (againnnn). this is totally justifiable (haha) cause they're all products not found here in KL (i hopeee soooo) and reasonable ba. pictures!

so excited to see these - Simple Makeup remover in 50 ml! so happy! just nice for travelling. below is the one we have on our shores - 125ml. go travel size!


shampoo and conditioner from John Frieda. yeahhhh since imma brunette now hah! 50 ml trial size.
some hair products - for ma curls yoh!

got this in the plane, its so tiny and cute! smells great too. just 15 ml very travel friendly!

thats all for now. lots of love!

i deleted friendster!!!

Thank you friendster. bye-bye.

emotions

It's over and done
But the heartache lives on inside
And who's the one you're clinging to
Instead of me tonight?

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
Lost in the song
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight?
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

I'm there at your side,
I'm part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You've got to find your shining star

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
Lost in the song
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight?
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You'll never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heart
It's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
Lost in the song
But if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight?
Don't you know there's nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

THE PLAN: 2010

cliche. but i'm gonna make a plan anyway. and its tagged with key performance index (KPI)! gonna be divided into four aspects: physical, mental, financial and spiritual.

Physical
Honestly its not the weight i'm worried but the places where the fat is accumulating. so this year besides running i wanna take up weights seriously. its also gonna be a little different this first quarter cause i'll be doing Mount K in April! And i'd love to start Zumba and get back to swimming.

Strategy?
1. Schedule
Mon, Wed & Fri - 30min on trainers + 10min weights + 10min fitness ball
Tues & Thurs - 30min stairs + 10min weights + 10min fitness ball
Sun - Swimming!!!
2. Intensity & endurance
History would be 4km in 20 min. Will start of with 2km in 30 min then move on from there alternating between distance and duration.



KPI?
By end of January, must be able to do more than 5km in 30min. very decent...

Mental
on last count, i have more than 50 books untouched. wanna do more varied readings, more writings, hope to write more on topics/issues and not only hauls lah. I do want to acquire better skills in M.Excel & Power Point too! And to have proper, regular readings of human physiology, nutrition & food science.

Strategy?
1. Have a book/magazine with me at all time.
2. Learn a new thing from M.Excel / Power point every week
3. A chapter each of physio, nutrition & food science every week.

OMG. this is tougher than physical training!

KPI?
1. 5 books in 2 months.
2. Weekly report of what i get from MExcel & PP.
3. Fortnight report of textbook readings.

Financial
Simple objectives. to have savings and to be debtless!

Strategy?
1.TITHE.
2. No buying of books and magazines. FINISH YOUR 50 BOOKS LA! AND VISIT www.people.com & www.instyle.com for your fashion doses!
3. Starbucks is banned. no more macchiatos. its home made Illy for now. its healthier too la...brown sugar + low fat milk yoh!
4. Less of eating out
5. NO MORE MAKE-UPS please. maybe like, once in 6 months or smthg.okay?
6. Finish all toiletries that i have to the last bit.
7. Use household products more effectively - this saves planet earth too la.
8. buy what you need and not what you want! and whatever you 'need' has to be justified with 10 reasons. haha. i can easily pull that off...but seriously pls be more responsible miss agan!
9. monthly alloc for ASB.
10. be innovative & creative - make use of what i have in hand first before rushing to buy.
11. Try to borrow if an item is needed for a one off thing.
12. try to sell! hehe.

there are more strategies i know. will work on these few first.

KPI?
Debtless. With savings by...June?

Spiritual
A deeper, closer & more intimate relationship with my Maker, Father Saviour & Friend.


Strategy?
1. One year Bible reading plan
2. Active in cell group

KPI?
1. Weekly fav verse or sharing in this blog
2. i will be in a cell group by end of FEB!

There. I'm accountable to...you!
on a random note, see my hair nice colour!!!

Happy new years!
Jesus loves you, He truly does!

14 December 2009

today is just not a good day. below average. in a humanly, worldly way that is. why do i always say that? because...we dont belong to this world. just passing by. and we have been redeemed from this fallen world. bought by blood; conquered death and beyond; but in a worldly way, it is not such a good day. i want to escape from all this. have the strength to build/dig a cave. and, hide.from all emotions. pains. worries. heartache. dismay. but i have been redeemed from all this.i have to remember that. i have to believe it. Christ never, never did, never will, has never died in vain. never.

but its difficult to remember in difficult times.

"When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you know my way..." Psalm 142:3

13 December 2009

Clair de lune by Debussy is truly a remarkable piece. i hear it a lot - especially now, for its calming soothing mesmerizing effect. i love it. when i'm numb - its good for that. of course i wouldn't come across debussy if not for twilight. and yes, i read it...more than once. not to fuel the bimbo part of me; but i guess for the utopic dreamy worldly part of me. sometimes its okaylah.

its finally coming to an end, 2009. how has it been? i cant recall much.whether subconsciously i'm trying to forget or i just couldn't care less or i have something else in mind i dont know.

have i added value? job? environment? family? friends? self? i dont see it. have i?

its more difficult than i ever imagine. i thought it would be ok. it would be fine. but you dont really know what you've got till its gone.

i'm numb. Lord help me.

Book Club - 28 Nov 09

Bottom seven books was bought at the recent Big Bad Wolf Book sale (www.bigbadwolfbooks.com). Lots and lots of books by writers i never heard of so was quite skeptical. spend quite some time reading their synopsis and first few pages; and also settled for books that have been made into movies. All books at RM8! Upper two books were bought a day earlier in Popular at full price and the sad thing is they were selling Midnight's Children at RM8 too during the book sale!!! AArrggghhhh....anyway prorate then about 110 for 9 books is ok rite?
Happy saturday!
