Long Time Coming
As stated, this post is long overdue. i have just returned home for an extremely hectic 2 weeks. When i took off for melbourne, i had to take one week off school, and missed out on the break as well, therefore, when i came back, i knew i had my work cut out for me, and i did. in the short span of 2 weeks, i had a test, an essay, a persentation and a report, all due back to back. But the Lord has been so merciful and has showered me with so much grace of which i am so thankful for.
These 2 weeks have been so tough, but as i look back now, i can see the hand of God working in my life, every step of the way, from the first essay, to the final report today, of which is a group project, but all my group members bailed out on me, but the Lord gave me so much grace to do it, and the lecturer (who is sucha pain in the neck who finds fault with everything) found fault with nothing. God is good.
Also.. i have neglected to mention that the Lord healed me of a stomach problem ive had ever since i operated on my tummy 3 years ago. every single day, my stomach will bloat and hurt. every day. But when i went for the convention, the Lord healed all my pain. Praise the Lord. And yet, i had little faith. during the healing service... the pastor told everyone who has been healed to step forward and just say what the Lord has healed u of, and at that moment, i had no boldness to go forward. subconsciously i told the Lord, if u have realli healed me, show me a sign please.
And just before the meeting closed. the pastor stopped and said, someone here has been healed of a stomach problem, the pain is no more. and at that moment, i felt this soothing sensation touch me, from the stomach, which filled the rest of my body. and yet at that point i couldnt believe. i didnt think i was worthy enough to be healed...
After the service, i was still deep in my thoughts, and then, this sister of melbourne, came up to me and asked me: "so sister, what did u get from the sermon?" i just smiled at her... Then, before long, this other sister came up to me and said: "so sister, what did u get from the sermon?" the second time, i just smiled at her.
And finally, Sis mary, my perth church sister came up to me and said:" so N.. what did u receive from the service?" at this point.. i could only smile at her... i know that it is no coincidence, and How merciful the Lord is.. not only did He give me one sign... He gave me so many... Even when i doubted Him, and did not Glorify His name, my Jesus did not drop me... instead He showed me even more mercy and grace.. of which i did not deserve...
Now, i am healed.. and my heart sings praises to My Lord, Jesus Christ.. truly... my Saviour and my Healer...
I worship the Living God.. the One true Living God, whose signs and wonders never cease to amaze me.
Tomorrow
Many things about tomorrow
I dont seem to understand...
But i know, who holds tomorrow...
And i know, who holds my hand...
This song, brings such peace and assurance to my heart, knowing, just knowing.. My Heavenly Father, will never let me go. I pray He gives me the grace, to cling onto His loving hand, till the day i finally meet Him in heaven.

A case of the broody-ies
Feeling a little broody and kinda sad. Firstly, i have a presentation (with handouts) to do up by tonight, and a report to complete by tomorrow. Which basically means even though im exhausted at the moment, sleep is not possible. Secondly, speaking to d today, brought up an open and heart-to-heart talk about his personal relationship with God. I'm really concerned. I think the time i spend on my knees are greatly lacking. Its time i kneel down, and really pray. Thirdly, everyone in the house has gone to sleep, and have been sleeping since 9.30pm. Being the only one awake, tired, overloaded with work, and broody... not good, not good...
Its high time, i spend some quality time on my knees.

I realised i didnt know wat clothes i had sitting around in the closet of mine. due to the lack of space, many have earned the title of sitting in a huge bag, at the bottom of the closet. No more hangers, or hanger space for them u see. and to remind myself of what i have, i took some photos. the photos also served as a guide to which of the tops i wanted to sell away. Anyhoo, a breakdown of the following tops. =) as follows: 1. love the first top, bought it in melbourne, and its highly unique. =) never seen anything like it 2. vintage off shoulder top. bought over ebay, and i love it! only problem, the shoulders are too loose. i need to stitch it up, the problem? my sewing skills are non-existent! help! 3. tried to use photoshop to lighten and contrast the top for some detail, but didnt help much. it actually has puff sleeves, mini lace around the collar, and lace down the front, a realli victorian kinda look, bought it cause i was so unique. =) 4. a marilyn moroe kinda top for work 5. a gift from P. its made of gorgeous material that just flows soooo comfortably! lovely. 6. i think im gonna sell this top, though i realli liked it in melbourne.. the shirring realli is at an awkward position which i think i'll find irritating wearing for long hours. 7. this is a puff sleeve audrey hepburn style top, again, the camera and lighting didnt manage to capture the sweet details. 8. wore this out for a casual lunch, took a photo to document the red cheery bag, red watch and red shoes combination. =) i like red, as u can clearly tell. hehE. items not in shot: white and pink cropped cardis. =), living doll camisole - to be sold, de cujba polka dots formal sheer vintage top - to be sold.

You are my sunshine
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. firstly, i tumbled outta bed at a grand 2.30pm! and waking up so late in the day usually spoilts it for me, and the fact that i have an impending test due, with so much to study and memorise... I couldn't pull myself together to study, and have been doing various things until now. i boiled water, had a cup of green tea, cupnoodles bleah. Did some toning exercises, bathed, trimmed my eyebrows, and until now im all weirded out, with no motivation to start, so here i am, doodling on blogger.
Stumbled upon someone's blog, who penned an entry about a 6 yr relationship she has with her bf/fiance, which got me thinking about mine (which is almost at its 6 year mark, this october 19th which we will spend apart again.. =( ). We had a really long conversation yesterday, over msn webcam and a few things he said, really made me smile. Not wanting to forget, i decided to extract it here. =)
Scenario 1: i was, as girls do sometimes, get all "whiny and into the im-not-pretty-enough mode", and his replies... were priceless.
ME: i feel that im not pretty enough.. or smart enough, or intriguing enough, or domesticated enough or wellrounded enough...that when someone "more" in these areas come along... =(
DD: But in fact u are.
dun doubt yrself k darling
ure the most well-rounded girl i have ever come across
of cuz there will be another girl who is better than u out there
but im sure ure e one for me
ME: (already smiling at this point)
thats sweet
DD: u know key has grooves?
ME: yes?
DD: u fit my grooves
=)
Scenario 2: we were chatting along happily, and i asked if he ever suspected that i cheated on him, and his replies... made me laugh. =) by the way, bear in mind the boyfriend has cracked and blistered painful lips, which hurt when he smiles or laughs.
ME: did u ever think that i cheated on u
DD: huh
no leh
Me:howcome?
DD: u would tell me if u do
ME: !!
i would tell u if i cheated?
DD: ure not that sort of person
ure faithful
not loyal but faithful.. loyal is for dogs
im trying not to laugh or smile now
really difficult when im looking at u
Me:?? Howcome??
DD: u make me happy
ure my sunshine, ure my sunshine, u make me happy when skies are grey
Me: awwww
=) its days like this... that are worth waking up for... Anyhoo.. ive been putting off loading the pictures taken in Melbourne. i think i will do so... by tonight. =) i hope... *crosses all fingers*
