Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) Lyrics
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine



But the Lord Jesus says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

On the 2nd day of Christmas
My True Love blesses me
A Song of love
That sings of His Amazing Grace
(my version, haha)


Indeed, God's grace is like rain. And it never stops falling upon us in every aspect of life.

This year.. I was consumed by grief over my family, yet this Christmas reminded of His Love, His grace, His faithfulness, His sovereignty... all I need to do is to exercise my faith, to trust Him more..

A room to celebrate the Father's great love for me...

Thank You Lord Jesus. To Thee be all glory given! Hallelujah!

Penang!

Hey, I m back in jiaplace. Hehe, wanna blog about my trip to Penang, 5-7 Dec. Really thanx a lot to Rachel, Adrian, Olivia and Ai Wei for having us in Penang, bringing us around to places with nice scenery, good food.. etc etc. Yo, you guys rockz man!
These pics are from Olivia. But dunno why they are not very clear when I put them up in my blog, but nvm la.We still have a lot more SS photos in Rachel digicam coz we have our SS queen -- Adele =P

Adrian did this SS Queen thingy for Adele when we were at the beach.

PKVians in Penang!


We stayed in Rachel's house in Balik Pulau. Wahliao, the road to her house is quite winding. The sun was so hot (as if la it has not been so). I memang cannot tahan and daytime was terrible for me, I puked twice. Argh..

Kek Lok Si.
We went to Air Itam Damp before we went to Kek Lok Si.

Rachel, Olivia, Adele n me. Plus Adrian and Chef sebagai hiasan.

Our Mr. President. Last minute saje we asked him whether he would like to join us for the Penang trip. Initially only me n adele saje.. then on Monday 4/12, in that one hour in Kopitiam, Ipoh Parade we started to call people and asked them to join us. Spontaneous enough?



Penang Hill!
I tell you, going up the hill is a torture. Hehe..

Me posing with the SS queen.


Well, Rachel was very bangga with the inai thingy on her left hand and hence all of us posed in such a way to 'show off' our left hand. Haha..


Can you see, itz Rachel's left hand again.


Yours truly. =P


Alright, our left hand.


??

Tanjung Bungah Beach!

We had a ceremony to officially start our Pretty Sisters Fellowship in PKV. An idea curi-ed from Neriton 06'. As long as u r a sister from PKVUM, you are most welcome to join us!


Cheffrost, me, adele n ai wei. YOu see, adele is posing again...


JUmp!! Adrian.. argh..






Yo.. pretty sisters! Adrian helped us a bit to make this lovely pretty sistaz thingy. Hmm, he is one of the 'sisters', knows as Adriana. Hahaha..


Aha!


We were at the beach for a few hours. When light turned to darkness, we had quality time... awww... star gazing, cloud gazing.. We are a bunch of creative people and the clouds.. aha, all kinds of 'animals', 'cartoon characters'.. etc. We sang songs, all kinds of songs la. And itz was super fun!


This is my first lying down on the beach.. enjoying the breeze, listening to the sound of the waves beating against the shore. Wahliao.. it was a cekap quality time with the rest of them.

Hmmm.. wanna thank this bunch of people for making my holidays more colourful!

Well.. I have been blogging here for the past few months.

Ermm.. I have decided to stay away from jiaplace for a period of time.. to keep u guys in suspense.. cheh!

Neh... just got a bit tired of blogging.. Hmm, I wonder how true is this statement, but nvm.

Hmm, Thanx for dropping by and thanx for all the comments you guys left on jiaplace.

Bubye!!!

I m too free....

Slow and Steady

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment. They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.

How Do People See

Your Brain is 73% Female, 27% Male

Your brain leans femaleYou think with your heart, not your headSweet and considerate, you are a giverBut you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

You Are 24% Intuitive

You're definitely an intuitive person, but you never go on your gut alone.You tend to be more analytical than intuitive - possibly because your intuition has failed you in the past.When you don't have enough facts to make a decision, you don't mind listening to your gut to figure out what to do.

How Intuitive Are You?

You Should Try Bungee Jumping

Can you take the plunge?The true test of an extreme sports junkie!

What Extreme Sport Should You Try?

You Should Drive a Lamborghini

A true daredevil, you're always in search of a new rush. Clearly, you're a total speed demon... just don't get caught!

What Sports Car Should You Drive?

Your Social Anxiety Level: 28%

You have low social anxiety.Of course very unfamiliar or strange situations make you uncomfortable.But you can pull through and handle almost any social occasion with grace.

Are You Socially Anxious?

Haha.. a bit tooooooo frreeeeee... tried out some stupid tests. =p The most cekap of all, is the Lamborghini thingy.. gosh... how nice if I can test drive.. test drive saje you know.. no need to have the car la. =)

Got to go before the internet credit strikes '0'.. aww..

Stupid tests

Your Dominant Intelligence is Spatial Intelligence

You've got a good sense of space and how the world around you looks. You can close your eyes and "see" images. You have innate artistic talent. An eye for color and shapes, you're also a natural designer. Since you think in pictures, visual aids and demonstartions help you learn best. You would make a good navigator, sculptor, visual artist, inventor, architect, interior designer, or engineer.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

You Are 8% Girly

Um... you're a guy, right? If not, you're the most boyish girl in the world.And for you, that's probably the ultimate compliment.

How Girly Are You?

What is this la? According to Mendel's Law of Segregation and law of Independent Assortment, and according to the result of fertilisation between a sperm and an ovum.. a zygote is form. And in the 5th week of embroyic development, the germ cells will migrate to form female gonad. From there, oogonial clusters are formed.. And at the 3rd month, the primary oogonia will undergo meiosis to .... yada yada... so the conclusion is, how girly I am in the test doesn't represent me at all! I shall repeat the word -- "AT ALL"!

Finally!

After raining bullets and missiles for 5 days.. After 5 days of blood shedding... After 5 days of crying for help non stop..

... I am proud to declare...

I am

... !!!!!!
... !!!!!!

Finally, I had my final victory over the great stupid monster called EXAM! Yay! (well, the picture shows you.. haha.. that.. I am such a narcissist.. now you can see how much I love myself.. ahahahaha..)

You see, I have to pamper myself a bit la, since I have just came out from the 5 day battle. Although I suffered a kinda serious injuries in the first day of my battle, but after that.. hmm, you see, my God is a God who heals la. So, it was ok la. The Monster Psycho wasnt a very scary monster after all.

You all must be wondering "what about the Monster Calculus 2"? Well, it wasn't very bad la. More merciful than the stupid monster named Probability. That one ar, my weapon to fight against it was INTUITION. The paper was crap la! I had to go by intuition. As long as I 'felt' that itz the right way to answer, then I just wrote la.. awww..

Well, I wouldn't call Cytogenetics and Genome Organisation a monster because he is my friend! I sat for the paper this morning. Haha, past year questions pulak -- asked about B chromosomes, some stuff on gene amplification, and some stuff on the effect of nuclear DNA content on the duration of cell cycle. Well seriously, it is a very interesting subject to study. There's quite a lot of things to understand besides memorising them but I seriously don't mind memorising all those terms and funny funny names la.. etc. So, it wasn't really a battle. Hmm, a QnA session with a friend, perhaps?

Well, I really wanna thank those who have been fighting alongside with me, supporting me thru their prayers!! Thank you friends! And above all, I wanna thank my Daddy for seeing me thru another semester. HAha... praise the Lord!

And... hmm, finally I mustered my courage to see my 'friend'. Hmm, I'm having some problem la. Kinda frightening when it is happening almost every morning. Well, I pray it will be ok la. I will have to see my 'friend' again if the problem persists after another two weeks. So now, I have another 'bodyguard' that I have to bring along - Rhinocort Aqua.



So..

How?

Spray la.

Hehe...

So now what?

Stuck in PJ la. I have to prepare for CTR which is exactly 10 days later. =p

Yay... I m super happy now.. hahahaha...

Battles.. got killed?

This week is a terrible week.. with tonnes of notes to read.. tonnes of maths questions to solve.. The crazyness is beyond description.



Yesterday I had my first battle.. a severe defeat by the 2 stupid monsters called Pentaksiran dalam Pendidikan and Matematik Asas. I tried to defend la, but their attacks were to strong for me to tahan.. Sparks here and there. Wah liao.. I didn't even have the chance to counter attack.



Well.. The Pentaksiran paper, although it was all objective questions, 60 questions in 2 hours.. it was crazily confusing. Haha, due to tembaking and tikaming quite a number of questions, I managed to finish it in about an hour. And I terkorban dalam perjuanganku, killed by bullets coming in the form of A, B, C and D. Sigh, dun have a cekap bullet-proof shield..

In the afternoon, I had Matematik Asas which doesn't seem 'asas' afterall. 3 questions in one and a half hour, part A(2 questions, choose 1) and B(finish all 2). I chose the wrong question in the very beginning, and SHUCKS! I got stuck half way of that stupid question. Last 15 minutes attempted another question. The questions in Part B.. haih.. Again, the battle was terrible.. asyik defend saje.. some parts of it, just surrender saje la..

That's why.. white flags here and there in the first day of my 5-day battle.

And I miraculously resurrected so that I can die again in the coming battles.. Well, isn't this called exam?

And the effect of exam - dead brain cells, less hair on my head, more crappy, more lame..

And due to this thing called Teori Pelaziman Klasik, the fear towards my calculus 2 and Probabilty paper arises -- gerak balas terlazim (conditioned response).

Later have to sit for Psycho dalam Pendidikan paper. Hope I can crap a bit.. so that it wont be so teruk..

Seriously.. I m super worried over my calculus 2 and probability after sitting for maths asas. But itz a bit too late to do anything..



Psycho and cal2 and probability : Attack! kill her, kill her! Dun let her to have any chance to counter attack.. hahaha.. die leh?

Me: I m so dead now..

Cytogenetics: get up and attack them. You are genetically ok, you can do it.. less brain cells and less hair.. nevermind.. everything is already pre-wired in your chromosomes.

Me: .... ??

Haih.. whatever la.. want to give up but my intrinsic motivation beh tahan, keep telling me 'cannot give up!!'..

Der..

Talk....... please talk......

Stop it!!!!!!

Can't you two just stop it!?? I had enough of all these nonsense.. It wasn't like this last time..

Since when did it turn out like that?

Why does it have to be like that?

Why can't you two talk nicely, talk properly with each other?

I am suffering.. we are suffering from what is happening to both of you. Can't you see that?

To be honest, I hate it...

I keep quiet doesn't mean I dun care..!!

Dark clouds.. when is the rain?

Gloomy.....

Well...
Hmm.. so susah payah to load the page due to the connection problem in my place. Finally able to get the page but now I dunno what to type..

Once again.. there's a lot of things on my mind.. Guess what, I am feeling almost the same as how I felt during the time before I went for campcam. That kind of stress, that kind of frustration, that kind of 'a-lot-of-things-on-my-mind' feeling, that kind of 'tiredness', that kind of brokenness.. I seriously hated them..

Although I was able to study(not a lot, but still thank God for that).. Once in a while, I would feel kinda disturbed by things that are going on.. I tried not to think about them, but itz just so tough.. I hate it!!

Itz November.. December is coming soon.. then it will be the end of 2006. Time flies.. Looking forward to 2007, wonder what is ahead of me. Thinking too much and too far. No good. All the 'what if-s' are playing tricks with my mind.. Duh, I m living to the name-crazy jia.

Runaway.. how la to runaway.. suddenly the need of finding my fortress of solitude arises again..

'Rain'.. the 'clouds' are getting darker n darker over here. When is it going to 'rain'...? Perhaps I should get ready an umbrella.. Who will walk with me thru my 'rain' and 'sunshine'?

Why la I missed out that SOmeone? My Heavenly Father.. I know HE will walk me thru.. I know..

Maths Atheist???

Haha.. thanx for the mail! =P
