to learn

"To learn, you must love discipline;
it is stupid to hate correction."


Proverbs 12:1

day 4

"summer" break does feel summery. it's been hot and windy all day long; so good to dry laundry! what have you been up to?

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."
mark 12:30

2 tim 1:7

Whenever I hear the Taylor Swift song going "Time slows down whenever you're around," I BET she's talking about my Malaysian Studies lecturer. Or history teacher.

Interesting Stuff

Fuji Instax Mini. Cheaper than Polaroid. Smaller instant photos.

Chalkboard paint. Apparently, only RM 5 at Ace Hardware! Of course I won't do that to the piano :x maybe something smaller. like a mini bar fridge :P



(source)
These recycled clocks out of vinyl records by Pavel Sidorenko are eco-friendly and stylish!

Dahlia ear studs. I'd love one of these in a vanilla cream or pale peach. So cute. These turqoise ones (not updated on Seenamon yet) will do for now (I have two pairs on hand). The colors remind me of the color scheme of 500 Days of Summer.

Simply adorable handmade rubberstamps from Kulit Manggis. Hmm, perhaps its time for Seenamon to get one of its own ;)

Inception was excellent. Simply because it was an original story that appeals to people and makes them talk, cos hey, who doesn't dream? Almost all the stuff in the movie I've dreamt of - the houses on the water, the stairs architecture, the dream in a dream, and the falling off Cobb's apartment into nothingness. Scary! Have you dreamt of any before?




Oh, and I tak jadi pergi Ipoh :( namun, kawan-kawanku masih dapat pergi, dan itu yang matters! :) PTL


I'd like to end with one of my favorite scriptures:

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline."

Ps. 111:10

Haaaay gurrrl.

D showed me this video. Hi. La. Ri. Ous!

Man, we are SO blessed.

Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom.
All who obey His commandments will grow in wisdom.

thanks to all my friends who made the effort to drop by and buy stuff or say hi. <3

people are driving me crazy!!! are you driving someone crazy too?

saved

Watch out for those dogs, those people who do evil, those mutilators who say you must be circumcised to be saved. For we who worship by the Spirit of God are the ones who are truly circumcised. We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort...I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ.

Phil 3:2-3,9

american spin and spanish arm

Zooey Deschanel looks like Katy Perry...but a nicer version.




Sam came over today. Did you know she changed her Facebook name from Sam to Samantha to Sam again?

Today, there was only me and the other student at class. We were quite capable of learning patterns-so the instructor taught us the American Spin and the Spanish Arm. The Spanish Arm is a bit like a Right to Left or a Left to Right, but it turns the opposite direction during the second half. At first I couldn't see what was so Spanish about the moves, but after the arms were used, you could see that it was similar to the Spanish flamenco (?) dancers' stance. Cool!

The American Spin...the other student could do it quite well. But the best I could manage was a Malaysian spin =.= It's something like a pirouette on ice. I never pirouette/spin nicely, even when I was a kid.

After class I went to pick up some stuff from Miss Petite. We're meeting again tomorrow for more items. And of course, dinner with college friends + Mr. V at Cheers. Mmmm...can't wait for the fish head broth mee hoon.

sour cream and chives

Today was the last paper (Retailing). After I left early, I went to check my email, sent out an email and went downstairs to buy lunch (a packet of pasta + sauce in powder form. I think you call it instant pasta?) 'cos there was milk in the fridge at home, and being typical Asians, nobody in my family drinks milk as it is (unless it's Dutch Lady chocolate/strawberry milk) so I have to use up the milk before it spoils. I've been using milk in the crepes, but 1 liter of milk is a lot to use up. Anyway! I rang Sam and asked her if she'd like to watch Inception at 3.45pm at MBO (because it's RM5 day and my exams are over) but she was preoccupied.


After leaving college, I went to stock up for Seenamon for this weekend's bazaar.





My favorite part of the semester: sorting out my notes! This enjoyable activity lets me separate official handwritten notes from other notes. And so I did. Looking through how much I learnt this semester (not much), but not able to bind them together because I can't find the stapler. Chi kek.


I wish you a very terrific thursday tomorrow.

"Trust in the LORD and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you your heart's desires."
Ps 37: 3,4

12:50

It is 12:40, I don't normally stay up this late. First finals paper of the semester is this Saturday morning! Must be my first paper on a weekend, haha. Business Law. Can't wait for it to be over. Then three more papers next week, and I'm free! Free to do whatever I like! Free to call my semester break a summer break even though I'm not in the US (but am still studying under its syllabus)! Free to memorise Psalm 91! Free to roll around on the floor with TMX Elmo! Free to watch another round of Inception! Free to read the history of the kings of Israel in 1 and 2 Kings! Free to do the jive! Free to go to Ipoh to check out Hillsongs United on the 11th (places still open to youth, contact me pls)! Free to make the infinity dress (thanks Melissa)! Free to meet up with Khadijah!

...come to think of it, I would be a bit silly to think I'm not free NOW to do all those things. Whose rule am I living under, if I'm not allowed to hope, wish, dream and live when exams loom? Where did my freedom go to? HAH!

All things are good. All things were created for a purpose to fulfil. But sometimes, some people do some things to some things that make the things seem bad, unright, and downright wrong. My advice is to check all things against the word of God. It's perfect, flawless-the one guide everyone should turn to. It's the most translated and best selling book of all time.
It changed my life. Don't take my word for it-check it out yourself!

"If a man opens the car door for his wife, it can only mean two things: the car is new, or the wife is new,"-Pastor H.

This weekend was a very packed weekend. I am thankful for this weekend and for Tony and Aureole Piper's seminar, which revealed to me the truth that the enemy does not want any of us to hear-that God loves us more than we can imagine, more than any person on earth can ever. He forgives, He truly does. He cleanses and He renews, only if we allow Him to. He wants to give us the whole world and more!
PTL for JC!

Ah, plenty of things to do this week. Revision for MKT X 2, BUS and Msian Studies finals. Sam wants to go ice skating. And I wanna watch Inception again. Meeting with Seenamon partners to finalise i love bazaar weekend (inventory, etc). (August 7th, Saturday, Subang Parade) Final CF meeting of the semester. And, this Saturday,

ISCF RALLY!!! (i wait for this all year long)



They've got one of my favorite speakers speaking this year!

insepshon

"You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You can't be sure where it will take you. But it doesn't matter - because we'll be together."

I don't like that line. It's so misleading in some ways. And very E.S.O.T.S.M.*. But Inception is one of my favorite movies this year. Marion and Leonardo would have pretty pretty children. J.G-L woohoo!

Gila. Christopher Nolan's IMDB page up 1,300% in popularity this week =_=
