Leaving soon...

The JPA lady called me this morning when I just woke up at 8.30 am. wow! I accepted, and she said I have to register at UTM on Wednesday morning! Goodness, doesn't she realize I'm from the East? So, I'm rushing up and down now to get everything settled and packed.. and also to pass my responsibilities in class to the other treasurer. This is so crazy... >.< Well, I suppose my flight will be tomorrow.. most of the flights are fully booked though... okay.. so, goodbye ppl.. pray for me..

So you would come

VERSE 1:
Before the world began,
you were on his mind
And every tear you've cried
is precious in his eyes
Because of His great love,
He gave His only Son
And everything was done
so you would come

VERSE 2:
Nothing you can do
can make Him love you more
And nothing that you've done
Can make Him close the door
Because of His great love,
He gave His only Son
And everything was done
so you would come

CHORUS:
Come to the Father
though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives
He will take them all
The power of the Word,
the power of His Love
And everything was done
so you would come.

I pray for all atheists and doubtful 'Christians', that they would come to the Heavenly Father and realize how small they are compared to Him. Show them, Lord, the blasphemy of Satan who have controlled our thoughts and hearts for so long. Jesus, I pray that You would show them how truly powerful You are, that You are not one of those cliches in hero movies, that You are truly great in Power and in Truth. In Your most precious name, I pray. Amen.

Thoughts

Thoughts

My thoughts are as swans,
They flutter on,
Day by day,
They’re sometimes bad,
I do regret,
They’re sometimes sweet,
God loves that,
For moments though that which I love,
My thoughts are of the Lord above,
Of how He loves a girl like me?
A holy, blameless girl To Be?
I think of how He bore the pain,
To set a sinful world of shame,
Free to be forever more,
That if they only accept His Name!
May I never boast of I?
But of the One whom gave to I,
The gift . . . to think.

The simple truth.

Well, I have been pondering on and on about the Japan diploma scholarship.. with my sis giving more info about japanese graduates unable to find a job in M'sia... about how bad those jap companies are... and also the difficulty of doing exams and everything in japanese... It really freaks me out, you know.. So, the last two nights, i have been praying for the same thing, "God, give me an answer..Why aren't you telling me what to do? I wanna do your will." Well, until this morning, I really didn't think I would get an answer from God...becoz i haven't been very close with God these past few weeks and I felt him far and discreet.. since i've never felt that spiritual thingy anyways.. However, this morning.. I got the simplest and most unpredictable answer (for me, anyways), which none of you would understand.. It wasn't like God spoke face to face with me or a burning bush and stuff.. I think that'd kill me instantly.. ^^ Anyways, I was in church, singing the songs like usual... I love singing the songs, you know.. and while i was singing this seemingly unrelated song(i think it was Praise the Lord or something.. i forgot! haha), one of the verses just touched me at that very instant and God was like telling me, "Hey, I'm still here.. and you've got your answer already. Why are you still asking?" and there goes my tear ducts.. it just started feeling warm around my eyes.. brimming with tears.. immediately, my heart cried out, "Thank you, God.. Praise you, King of Kings." So, the simple truth and answer.. is that I'm going to take up the programme.. I don't know what's going to happen in the future.. but I guess I'll just need to live one day at a time and let God worry about the future.. hehe =) and thanks for all the support and information given by all of you, my dear dear friends..

Everything In Japanese!

Hey guys... seems there's another thing about this Japanese programme.. It's engineering courses, no doubt.. not technical.. but another thing is.... EVERYTHING will be in Japanese.. even exams... study everything in 2 years??wow.. intensive language classes.. this is from recom.org :
we are all still learning from zero. so, just don't worry too much. try your best to memorise the characters...we finished hiragana already and next week, we will take on katakana and kanji. our teachers told us thatwe have to memorise 13 kanji every day. so you can see that our course is very intensive..

So, yea.... anyways, I'll give it a shot first and see how everything goes.... pray for me, people.... I love you... and I'll miss you guys.... haha.... never thought I'm gonna say that.. =P

What does your birthdate mean?

Your Birthdate: November 17
Your birth on the 17th day of the month suggests that you are very lucky financially, because this date indicates a solid business sense. Although you are probably very honest and ethical, this birthday enables you to be shrewd and successful in the world of business and commercial enterprise. You have excellent organizational, managerial, and administrative capabilities enabling you to handle large projects and significant amounts of money with relative ease. You are ambitious and highly goal-oriented, although you may be better at starting projects than you are at finishing them. A sensitivity in your nature, often repressed below the surface of awareness, makes it hard to give or receive affection.

Hey, how come it's so short? =P and 'world of business'? Well, to be honest I'm not very business-minded.. haha. anyways, I would like to try opening a company some time, if my job is appropriate.. =)

JPA scholarship offer

Hey, everyone.. breaking news.... very breaking news.. I am offered the JPA scholarship for the diploma in technical studies Japan. Here are some of the details i picked up from www.recom.org:

JPA_JPN I wish to introduce the Technical Study to Japan I am taking now. I spent around 10 months in KL and a year in Tokyo to study the Japanese language and some Maths, Physics and Chemistry (but our juniors have to study in KL for 2 years now, Japanese teachers are teaching them in KL). and went to the National technical college in Japan for 3 years. we will get a diploma from the college but we can continue our study in universities in Japan as third year students. and JPA is still sponsoring us. One may spend altogether 7 years to get a degree after SPM, but for those who dont care about time, this is a good choice, since you can master another language and try different life in Japan (staying in different places for language school, technical college and university). and the study in technical college is not so difficult, so you have time to do sth you are interested, like Robot contest, programming contest, music, sports or Japanese Karate, Judo, tea ceremony and so on. have a colourful and meaningful student life here. But the most important thing is, make sure that you are interested in engineering and have some confidence in your language. but it is not so difficult.
I would like to add some of my own points to this to prove my scepticism on this program.. If some of you didn't realize, the cost of living in Japan is rising rapidly, especially on Honshu island(capitol:Tokyo). This is definitely not a good sign because I don't know how much allowance would be given to me and either I can cope with it or not..Another thing is, exactly how many people are going to go with me? Will there be enough friends? It's a very hard choice, you know... As most of you know, I'm not that close with any of my friends, so I'm not much worried about leaving Malaysia... But the problems are still there... I don't know yet what choice to make.. Pray for me.. thank you.

my little thoughts

The problem with love is not that nobody understands it. It's not that it's confusing. The problem is that we all think superficially that love merely depends on or is reflected by how we feel.. I call these Feelings of Love. Feelings can change in a split second and it can never be fully understood, especially when it's mixed up. When you think of Love as merely a Feeling, you don't understand love, because you don't understand feelings. Try to look at feelings as triggers or switches which activate love. When you can understand this, you will see that love is actually about giving comfort and joy to the person that we love. And you will stop trying to satisfy your Feelings of Love and start being mindful of your thoughts and intentions.. You will be careful not to let your mind and feelings deceive and control you. When a person loses the Feelings of Love, he/she will usually say, "I do not love you anymore." and demands a break up. However, a person who fully understands the concept of love and doesn't depend merely on feelings to measure his/her love will continue to give joy and comfort to the person that he/she loves. Now, when it comes to romantic love, this topic becomes different because of our mindset, which describes this type of relationship a special type of relationship. In this context, the Feelings of Love are naturally stronger because of hormonal triggers. However, in truth, romantic love is the same as any other types of love, with exception of sexual contact and the concept of marriage.

Tired night..

So, hi again everyone... My template hunt has failed.. I don't know how to paste the template inside this blog.. I was hoping there were source codes or something, but it appears there were none.. Never mind about that.. My dear friend sent a forward tonight.. a sad story or something.. I'm still reading halfway.. and she told me one of my friends got scarred in the heart reading the story. And she's soooo sad coz the story she forwarded is so heart-breaking to this particular friend. Usually, when this happens, I don't know any way to comfort this forlorn soul.. Anyways, pray for them... If u need their names, that'd be hard.. I do not wish to disclose their names, thank you.. ^^ anyways, I hope things get better soon.. and my friend would resolve the matter fast. Hmm.. just now I played "The Sims" again.. haha.. must be too bored.. I created a family with a guy Jinn Li, Tan and a girl Jacqueline Tan.. ^^.. some of you would know who the guy is.. later im gonna make Cyril Agas and Sharon Chong.. kekeke.. Oh before I end this, my new line:
"The mind has no limits, yes, that is why you're constantly being fooled by it" =)
