RIP Lappie

Been going through a lot & I thank God for friends! Can't imagine what I'd do without them. (You know who you are! *hug*)


Btw, I have not abandoned my blog. My laptop died.
Some technician will come by tomorrow to revive her.

Currently surviving on housemates' laptops.

I really should be studying for mid sem exams now, but I can't block out these thoughts in my head... Anyway, I'll be back soon!

Still holding on to His promises...

Hello Autumn

It's officially autumn. (According to Google, that is).


Autumn somehow has a very melancholic feel to it. Leaves change colour and fall to the ground. The chill of winter is on the horizon.

Goodbye summer, hello autumn.

History or Herstory?

It doesn't bother me that history isn't herstory, that hurricanes are always feminine and that God is usually thought of as a man.

I can live with labels like Chairperson and Anchorperson and Postperson.

I can open my own doors and pull out my own chairs but if someone else wants to do those little courtesies for me, that's fine too.

There are many aspects of Feminism that I like but I like Humanism better.

I don't especially want to be a Ms.
I want to be a Me.

Incomplete

Sometimes questions pop into my head, and I don't have the answers to everything. I am only human. I cannot see the road in front of me. It's dark and You are the only one I cling to.

Thank you for the people around me. They've loved, guided, encouraged, and took care of me. But sometimes people change. You, however, are constant. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. I cannot fully understand (and I think I never will) how someone like You, could love someone like me. Despite all my flaws, my shortcomings, my impurity, still You love me. Despite me grieving You, still You love me. Despite all my failures, still You love me.

You were always there. When I'm happy, You were there. When I'm sad, You were there. When I'm angry, You were there. You were there when I needed You. And You were there when I didn't need You (or so I thought).

How could this wretch be Your masterpiece? Surely Your work in me isn't complete! You are the author and finisher of my faith. Don't give up on me just yet!


Please be patient. God isn't finished with me yet! :)

Blurry blurry

The last week or so have been a blur of events. It was fun, but my body is tired. I need to rest before tutorials begin next week.

We went for this event called Klub Kandy @ Family. It's my first time clubbing in Australia.

They have 2 dancefloors. R&B is played upstairs. The lighting and bass downstairs is way nicer, but I'm not a fan of trance. The best part is probably the place where we're seated. It's a nice cozy area, with curtains, giving it a very exclusive feeling :)

This is a freakish picture of Patric. You can see his 'ghost' hovering above Darren's head. :P
Patrick is such a cam-whore. I swear he said "Add me on Facebook and tag me" more than 5 times. I have yet to do that. Hehe...

Thank God for Hwai Li. I cannot imagine our house without her. Haha

New friendships formed.

Old friendships strengthened.


Two days later, we went to Surfers Paradise.

Sun, sea and sand. What more could be a better combination?

We took plenty of (silly) pictures... Like the one below.

And made silly poses...

I find this picture kinda funny. Yup that's an Australian for you!

My lunch. Yummy!!!

We don't get to see this in Malaysia.

Buskers.
This guy is really good at what he does! If I had small change I would've given him some money. Unfortunately I used up all my coins for parking.

Elvis Presley!

We did some shopping as well! And I'm elated 'coz I finally got something that I've been wanting for a lllooonnnggg time. Plus it was on sale!

We went back to the beach as the sun was setting.
We may come back again. Probably stay a night. And this time we will swim in the sea.
See you soon Surfers Paradise!
