a list of fives
teacher pen's photos. with Pastor Henry!
I just finished a phase/season of my life. Did not have the time to summarize and close that chapter properly and another phase trots along in its full glory. Oh gory? Maybe.
If there was a pause button, this is where I hit it till it comes out of its place. PAUSE PAUSE PAUSE! Let me summarize what I learnt in the past five months. Let me go back and say what I have to say. Let me thank God for His presence and His watching over my life thus far.

(I don't share this with people but) I've been very stubborn, hard headed and anxious these past few months and I think it has a lot to do with my control freakness. I believe in Jesus, therefore, I'm human. It's so disheartening when things don't go my way. And it's stupid to hold on to it. But God has been so kind to teach me and show me where I've gone wrong - I believe he's bringing me back to basics, Prov 3:5,6, that kinda thing, you know. It's jaw dropping when I think of it - the creator of the universe, stooping down to show me where I've gone wrong, and actually loving me in spite of it!

It's all wishful thinking lah. Just wasting my time right, if I sit here and *WISH* for that pause button to appear?
Five things I learnt in the past months:
1. Nothing I can do will make God love me more or less.
2. God blesses everyone - the righteous and unrighteous.
3. If you work for the sole purpose of earning money, what a sad life awaits you.
4. People who love what they do are successful at it.
5. Honesty is the best policy. Always.
Five things I want to see in the months ahead:
1. More of God.
2. Trust in the almighty creator of the universe for every detail of my life.
3. The SPM-ers prepared for their exams, knowing full well it dictates a little part of their life, but not their whole life in Christ.
4. More passion/enthusiasm/zest that inspires and motivates.
5. A whale!

i'm really not a desserts person
When I can't be bothered on what's for lunch, this is what I eat on Sundays
The famous BKT under the tree in Port Klang. The dry, soup and fish ball dish was only so-so that evening.
Spectacular Nasi Goreng Kampong from Sepang Gold Coast. Hunger adds dimension to your food, believe me.

Retribution
Why do I hold on to the past or glance back at it ever so often?
Is it because it gives me a sense of familiarity that I am used to?
Or is it because (and I'm more certain of this than the former) that I crave to feel like a drama, a climax in the plot has occurred and I look forward to sweet revenge/retribution?
But Aisha, that's so shallow! Why are you thinking like that?
I don't know, man. This sort of thing can keep me awake at night. It's so superficial (not to mention detrimental to one's health) to hold on to the past when I should let bygones be bygones.
Heck, if I crave drama and all that jazz, I should just go watch an episode of gray's anatomy, right?
Besides, Jesus said we should forgive. It's the forgetting part that takes a little bit more effort.
