MINDY = MANDY = MUN TENG

Caught up with Mun Teng yesterday. Haha.. after all the sibuk endless plannings, finally we met up for dinner. Initially she wanted to go Mid Valley for shopping so badly but I refuse to. Just not in the mood to shop. Anyways, we ended up having dinner together in Klang. Food was good. We decided to return there someday. Coming back from Klang, we got stuck in a jam for about 40 minutes due to police roadblock. When I think about it now, I can't stop smiling to myself cause Ms. Leong Mun Teng can't help cursing in the car. She cannot understand why the police have to have roadblocks at 9.30pm. LOL.. Below is a picture of her, and she used to call herself Mandy because her students do not know how to pronounce her chinese name, and younger when she was still in kindergarten with me, she called herself Mindy. I love you MunTeng/Mandy/Mindy. She's been a jewel and a best friend since we were 6 years old.

The cheeky side of her

And the lovely side of her

and finally, us.. friends for life..! *hugs*

*smiles*

I watched this today:



And I finally bought it !!! All the songs were good.


There were a few songs that has deep meaning why it was written and sung. Below are the clips on the source and inspiration of the song written.

Desert Song by Brooke Fraser and Jill McCloghry

1. This is my prayer in the desert
When all that’s within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

2. This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame

I will bring praise, I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice, I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

3. This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I’ll stand

B: All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

4. This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I’m filled to be emptied again
The seed I’ve received I will sow.

Anyway, all in all, I'm a very happy girl today! =D

this one song

Waking up this morning seems so natural. 10.30am!! Cos i've been waking up the same time every day since last Monday. Thank you India :D Now I wonder how am gonna cope getting up at 6.45am after this program is over.

My BIG plan today - Going to Canaanland to get the latest released Hillsong album (see left) that I've been waiting since December 2007!! My last buy was the I Heart Revolution album but that was under United Live Hillsong. I enjoy all the songs recorded live, but there is this one particular song which I have a real deep appreciation for its meaning - Where the Love Lasts Forever. The lyrics and the meaning of the song speaks so much to me, reminding me of God's love to me, that is everlasting.

Being a melancholic I am, I'm a simple girl-next-door who performs best when I am secure. Secure in my surroundings, secure financially, secure in my reputation, secure in the people around me, secure physically, emotionally & spiritually, and secure in who I truly am. I realised that as I grow up, I learnt that only God alone can provide all of the above. Not mom, not my family members, not my dedicated leaders, not my buddies & friends, not in my ministry, not in my favorite hobby, not in my vocation, not in my work, and never with my own effort. This experience of such deep security comes only with my relationship with Him alone.

Ponder the lyrics:

Where The Love Lasts Forever

Your mercy found me,
Upon the broken road,
And lifted me beyond my failing,
Into Your glory,
My sin and shame dissolved,
And now forever Yours I’ll stand.

(Pre-Chorus)
In love never to end,
To call You more than Lord,
Glorious friend.

(Chorus)
So I throw my life upon all You are,
‘Cause I know You gave it all for me,
And when all else fades,
My soul will dance with You,
Where the love lasts forever.

(Bridge)
And forever I will sing,
Lord forever I will sing,
Of how You gave Your life away,
Just to save me, Lord You saved me.

With You, where the love lasts forever.

How profound. How promising. And how secure is that.
The sense of appreciation within me never fail to renew itself each time I listen to this song. I hope it does the same for you, too =)

I want I want !

Have been thinking about this list, saving some extra cash wanting and trying to prioritize them before I buy:

1. External Hard Drive 120G / 250G
2. A proper pouch for my iPOD
3. SONY Camera - I already have a camera which is working fine.
   
4. Ralph by Ralph Lauren
   
   

How la? So many wants at one time. Shall I recite the "Dear Santa..." prayer? Hehe...

5th blog

This is my 5th blog. I hope, *hope* this one will be a successful one. I used to get so caught up with the hype of having a blog during school and college days, without even really understanding the work that needs to be done - maintaining and updating it. All my previous blogs died their natural death due to my laziness. hehe! But today, i determine to make this a living one. mark me. You know I really take my hat off to those who takes the initiative to update their blogs everyday. I hope and pray that the contents of this blog will enlighten, enrich and encourage readers like you.

Anyway, just for updates - I've not been doing much lately, except for work, since I started working on my India program. I've been given this India market to sell Business Forecasting. I did ask WHY, of all market.

Boss' justification - "It's selling like hot cakes in Malaysia~ and India is an untapped market, it's a booming country, like China... You never read the news ah? That's why la, I always ask you all to read the news you all don't want to listen..." *sweat*

Juggling and try to understand this new market can be a lil' draining. People there speaks differently, thinks differently, and work differently and due to that I have to study this market a bit more to understand them. My working hours has been revised and it is now from 11.30am - 8.30pm, so you can simply figure how much time left to bum around. Time being, my routines are disrupted so I stopped going to the gym for a while, i can't fetch my youths on Fridays, i can't serve on Fridays too, my supper is my dinner and my body clock is haywire now! :( (Haha..yes I'm whining.. but heck, this is my blog!) Well, whatever it takes I'm gonna optimize this weekend to rejuvenate myself so that I can breathe again when Monday comes. Guess I need to get myself adjusted fast so that I can last for the next 6 weeks. ALL FOR YOU INDIAAAAAAAAA~~!!!!!!!!! I will~! I will...~!

Oh, btw i manage to catch Made of Honour on Tuesday. It was fantastic! Took my mind off work, literally. I like i like! :D

The week when this movie was launched, I was already recommended by Jen, Tava and Mun Teng to go watch. So girls, I've finally watched it. TQ!

wOkay I need to hibernate now. Toodles!
