Tests, quizzes.. interesting..

Came across some pretty interesting quizzes while I was reading my sis-Jessica's blog.. Here are the results for you to know me better..

You Can Hang With the Guys and the Girls

You've struck a good balance between girlie and laid back.
You can keep it casual but when you dress up, you are as girly as the next girl.


oh.. i think i know that.. this is interesting..


You Are More Mild Than Wild

You're confident, and you really aren't concerned with how "hot" you are.
Other people's ideas of what's sexy don't concern you. And this is exactly what makes you attractive.


Confident huh? not bad.. i like this quiz..


You Are a Fierce Femme

You have a wild side, and you aren't afraid to bring it out when the time is right.
But you also know when to hang back and keep your "crazy chick" persona in check.
In fact, some of your friends may be surprised to find out how far you can take it...
You may look mild mannered, but it's all an act!


Never underestimate me people.. muahaha..


Guys Like That You're Sensitive

And not in that "cry at a drop of a hat" sort of way
You just get most guys - even if you're not trying to
Guys find it is easy to confide in you and tell you their secrets
No wonder you tend to get close quickly in relationships!


oh, oh, am i in trouble? haha.. anyone needs my ears? i can keep secrets very well u know?


You Are 70% Extrovert, 30% Introvert

You are quite outgoing
You are a social connector - you know a ton of people
While you aren't a wild extrovert, you are a great talker
A fantastic storyteller, you keep everyone laughing


No comment....*silent*


You are White Chocolate

You are White Chocolate
You are sweet, caring, and truly very innocent.
Whether your naive ways are a bit of act or not, people like to take care of you.
You are a quiet flirt, and your power is often underestimated!


I don't understand, how can u be innocent but a good flirt at the same time?


Your Driving Is is: 59% Male, 41% Female

According to studies, you drive both like a guy and a girl.
This means you're a pretty average driver, with typical quirks.
Occasionally you're frustrated and or a little reckless, but that's the exception - not the norm.


I think my family will agree on that.. do they?


You Will Be a Modern Bride!

While you aren't ready to throw away all wedding traditions, you want a wedding with a twist
You're more inspired by celebrity weddings on E! than from bridal magazines
Whether this means getting married on the beach barefoot or a mariachi band for the reception...
Your wedding will be a blend of old and new - white dress cocktail, personalized vows, whatever suites you!!!


Guys and my girl-friends.. pls take note for my future plannings.. thank you.


You Are a Good Friend Because You're Accepting

No matter what a friend says or does, you try your best to understand it.
And your friends feel like they can tell you anything. You don't judge.

You know that friendship is a journey - with a lot of ups and downs.
If you and a friend grow apart, you get over it quickly... and leave the potential for future friendship open.

You tend to have many friends from many walks of life. Anyone you meet is could become a friend.
In fact, you are especially interested in people who are a little different than you. Seeing life from another perspective is something you cherish.

Your friends need you most when: They can't turn to anyone else with their secrets

You really can't be friends with: Dogmatic, stubborn people

Your friendship quote: "Love is blind, but friendship closes its eyes."


And those who agree say 'i'.. I.....

Christmas..

Christmas is over and i was so busy and caught up with so many activities that i have no time to update my poor blog. Went for caroling, decent christmas parties, went to church and so much more. I will update more about it later but right now, i just wanna share to you all something that is really meaningful. This is from my sister-Amanda's blog and its just a short message on what Christmas is all about (ok, i know Christmas is over.. but this article that my sis wrote is so good and i just wanna share with you all).. simple but straight to the point..

*quote*

Christmas is Coming

I once asked a close friend of mine what Christmas is to her. She answered, "It's all about presents, turkey, santa, and booze!" It's not that she really don't know the true meaning of Christmas, cause I'm sure she knows, but I think she choose to ignore it.

At this time of the year, many of us become busy preparing for the special occasion. We shop for presents, send greeting cards to friends, buy Christmas clothes, and eat an elaborate dinner on Christmas night with either our family or friends. But do all these really explain Christmas? I'm not saying that putting up Christmas trees and exchanging presents with friends are wrong, because these things really help create the atmosphere for the holiday, which I love. But we sometimes get too carried away with trying to create the perfect Christmas that we forget about the main reason for Christmas, which is the birth of Jesus Christ. Talking about this reminds me of a story in the Bible in Luke 10:38-42. It is about Jesus visiting Martha and Mary's home. Mary sat at Jesus's feet listening to what he said while Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. Martha complained to Jesus because Mary was not helping, and Jesus answered, "You are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." Martha was so engrossed with the preparations, she forgot about the more impotant thing, which was getting to know Jesus and spending time with him. It's pretty much the same thing isn't it?

If you are a Christian, you most probably will go to church on Christmas morning to celebrate Jesus's birth. But after that, what do you do? Party at a friend's house? Shop for more clothes? Or take the advantage of a public holiday to sleep all day long? It's just like forgetting about the birthday boy right after his birthday party, and going ahead with the stuff you want to do with your other friends. I have to admit that I tend to forget the most important reason for Christmas too, and that I hope for as many presents as possible when come this time of the year. But I am going to try to focus this year. At least I tried to try.


John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

God loves us so much that He is willing to send His only son Jesus to be born on this earth to suffer and die for us. Because he died for us, we can go to heaven if we believe in him. And Jesus was born on Christmas day. Have it ever occur to you that, without Christmas, we all will have to go to hell when we die?

*unquote*
Christmas is not about partying, people.. Its about the birth of the saviour that freed us from the consequences of being a sinner. Anyway, i hope you all have learned something and may this article benefits your life from today on... Time to go.. Chaos!

Grace Youth Camp 2007

I've been MIA for some time from the reality.. and it was just awesome!!! I just came back from a youth camp that was organised by my church. I know i'm a little too old to be classified as a 'youth' but i went there as a helper, a first-aider (actually i did not do much work on first aid as i have someone to assist me as well.. haha.. i was busy giving medicines though). Moreover, i have to pay to work.. haha.. but it was all worth it. This year's camp was jus great and i just don't feel like coming back to face the reality once again..
This year's camp was held in Cameron Highlands and there are more than 300 participants including the helpers and pastors. The response was overwhelming and we felt quite bad for not being able to bring everyone that signed up to the camp site. I thank god for my friends who encouraged me to go as i wasn't in the mood to attend this camp in the beginning. Felt old and no point going to a Youth camp, i've lost the passion... But now i found it back.

The camp lasted for 4 days 3 nights and most of us had not enough sleep (as usual in all camps) as the activities are jam-packed and there are so many things to do in order for the camp to run smoothly. Managed to catch up with some old friends whom i only meet once a year (during camps) and met some new ones as well.. I was quite blur during the praise and worship sessions as some of the songs are so new, i've never heard of it before. But being the fast learner i always am, i managed to catch up la.. (haha.. self praising abit..its my blog after all)
I do not wanna list out everything we did during the camp coz it might bore you all. The best is to experience yourself! Here are some pics i managed to get from the camp for your viewing pleasure (pls pardon me for some blur pics):
all of us in the camp!!!! more than 300 people!!


My youngest sister's (amanda) group-they named their team as Christmas Skyland. So fairy like..
The banner of Christmas Skyland.. I'm just amazed at their creativity.

My 2nd sis' (jessica) group- Opados (Greek word- means disciple)The land of Furious Flames' Banner.. i love the colour!

Another banner of another team called Teh Tarik Republic. I know it looks so much like Starbucks, but i just find it really cute! The hall is just too small to fit in everyone.. and everyone has to sit on the cold floor..
Look at the crowd and u can imagine how stuffy it was to be in there although we were in Cameron!

Me and 'Perky'- Jonathan Chandra. He's one of the most talented people i've ever met! He's just so gifted in the area of Multimedia.

During Skit Competition.. all groups have to act..




The most obscene Group name and banner of all time-Kampung Bikini Donuts. I have no idea what they are thinking..


Brother bear..

Those rare time i can catch my sis to take pic with me..

While waiting for the food to be served to us..

I call them the 'Posers'

Darren and me on the last day of camp! Great to know u chef!!! You been such a great company! This is my 'helper' during the camp for first aid.. Thank you David.. You've been a tremendous help!!!!! It was just nice hanging out with you.. I know your full name!!!!

My sister's group of friends.. they called themselves-JADJADJUMS.. i think its quite cool.. and they have been quite a noisy but lovely bunch..


Due to certain technical difficulties, i am not able to put up all the pics for you to see.. Bottom line, this camp was just awesome and I was there to experience the power and love of god moving tremendously among the youths. Can't wait for next year's camp.. Good bye GY camp 07.. Hello GY camp 08!!!

Matthew 16:24 – “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.”

Break-up sucks..

Really.. Break-up do sucks.. really bad.. whoever that told you that break-up is easy and told you that with no emotions, that person is either a player or just a heartless being.

It wasn't easy to let go a relationship especially when the 2 of you have been together for some time and there are so many sweet moments (not forgetting the bad moments as well) you had together as a couple. Dramas during and after quarrels always happen amongst couples.. it is the same for me. My relationship (well, my last relationship..) was quite a rocky 1 as some of you might know.. alot of dramas and disagreements between me and him..we broke up.. patched up.. broke up.. patched up.. and at last.. broke up!

It wasn't entirely his fault for causing this as i was the 1 that lied to him (but mind you, i did not cheat on him) in the beginning and refused to admit after he questioned few times.. (yes, i do lie.. christians are still humans dear.. we still do mistakes.. we are NOT perfect) But it was this HUGE quarrel a.k.a 3rd world war, that made us both realised that we are not suitable for each other. To cut the whole lengthy story short & sweet, we literrally shouted at each other and hurting words have been exchanged in the midst of the 'war'. It was scary to see myself engaging in such intense quarrel with someone i would like to consider as a 'possible future husband' in such beginning stage of a relationship. I did apologize for lying but he feels that i wasn't sincere and that i did not made an effort to calm him down.

Anyway, the relationship is over.. it was frustrating to know that he can't trust me and it was hurting to listen to what he has said during the quarrel. Being the emotional girl i had always been, i did cried like a new born baby.. requested my good friend to accompany me as i was feeling lost.. hopeless.. discouraged.. frustrated.. sad.. and i'm sure he was too.. i did hurt him and he did hurt me in return..

There's no right or wrong in a relationship but i guess we are brought up in a different environment, being exposed to the different world and have different characters. Although we have tried to put ourselves in each others' shoes, there are still differences that we can't understand. I believe he's a nice guy but maybe he's meant for some other girl/woman/ female. There's just too many differences between us that we had tried to overcome but failed.

It has been few days since the incident happened.. i'm doing pretty well right now and trying my very best to pick up the pieces and get my feet back on the ground. It wasn't easy really.. going to the cinema to watch 'Enchanted' with my friends 2 days back was just hard as i was so used to having him beside me and you know those nice endings on Disney movies... it really killed me.. Makes me wonder why our ending can't be like 'them'? Why my relationship has to be so sad? Why? why? Why? Too many questions that only god will know the answer..

I really wanna thank my friends for being there for me (you know who you are).. When i'm online blaming myself, when i need a shoulder to lean on, when i just need a lame joke to make me laugh, when all i want is some company, when i need a listening ear, when i need a wake up knock on my head and ya da ya da... You guys are the ones that really encouraged me and make me realise that there are still so many things i can do and should accomplish in my life. No more crying, no more blaming/criticising myself, no more dreaming/wishing of getting back together with him..

My family has been the pillar of strength to me.. My parents have been understanding on my situation and have been very patient. My sisters have been really sweet to me and really stood by my side when i was down.. I really thank god for them.. Without them, i think i might have considered other 'alternatives' on solving my depression.. (i know its bad.. but i'm being honest)

Last but not least, (i'm not trying to be religious but true from my heart) I really THANK GOD for his goodness and grace and love and patient and the list just goes on.. He hasn't abandoned me although i have done so many things against his commands and of course giving me another chance to move on with life.. By believing the existence of god gives me hope and the faith to carry on and not give up on myself..

Of course, i'm still in the midst of recovering and it will still take some time.. No more 20++ sms-es a day (ok ok.. maybe 30++).. No more calls from him just to hear my voice.. No more dates on the weekends (and weekdays also la..).. but don't worry about me.. I will be fine as i know there are many that care and worried about me. All i need is time to get this out of my head, get used to single life (again) and follow my dreams..

Goodbye attached-hood! Hello Singlehood!

*Putting the quarrels and disagreements at the side, there are things that he has done that really touched my heart and i will never forget.. I just wanna thank him for all the things he has done for me and all the sweet memories he has given me. Every step i have took in this relationship has moulded me to the person i am today. I still pray for him and may he finds the angel that will brighten up his day in the near future!*
