more than life..

how can it be
that you were the one
on the cross?
lifted for all
my shame

how can it be
the scars in your hands
were for me?
you are the king
of all

day of sorts..

today heard news that a dear friend had been made redundant from her work. while this was hardly surprising given the present economic climate, it still came as a bit of a shock. just feel like its times like these that more than ever we need to be reminded of the joy of our salvation.. that we will not lose hope despite whatever or whomever comes against us.

thinking of habakkuk 3:17-18 "Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls. Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation!"

our god is mighty to save!!

im still a bit ill.. and just a bit vulnerable on the inside.. dealing with lots of junk and last sunday at church was such a refreshing.. i love it. just love it all. love how god has been so good. love how new hope arises. love the deliberateness of just waiting on god to save. love it.

all time favourite

Hanya dekat kasihMu Bapa
Jiwaku pun tentram
Engkau menerimaku
Dengan sepenuhnya

Walau dunia melihat rupa
Namun Kau memandangku
Sampai kedalaman hatiku

Tuhan inilah yang kutahu
Kau mengenal hatiku
Jauh melebihi semua
Yang terdekat sekalipun

Tuhan inilah yang kumau
Kau menjaga hatiku
Supaya kehidupan
Memancar senantiasa

wooohooo

i passed fa, aa and tax!!! whoopeedeedooooo!!! still can't believe it.

random notes

it's been so amazing living in god's grace. just love connect group and how when a company of believers get together and just love on each other, magic happens. so so thankful for all that is in my life right now and am looking to jesus for whatever it is that lies ahead... being patient for the fulfillment of all that i'm hoping for.. ahh definitely blessed beyond logic, again and again. :)

There's something about 2 in the morning

:)

am blessed beyond belief, as always. should be in bed, really, but can't sleep. feels like monsoon weather in malaysia in london.. reminds me of childhood, funnily enough. i love living in wandsworth with the tony and gary.

Back blogging

It's 2:36 in the morning and I'm not asleep as drank too much chinese jasmine tea at wong kei's earlier. hmmmph. work tomorrow will be a challenge. :P

So, I've decided to ressurrect my old blog and write again. Quite useful as a means of keeping family and friends up to date with what's going on in moi life. I also miss writing. Also coz blogging helps me remember stuff that has happened.. not that i care about remembering everything that happened..but er.. yeah. anyway, i'm giving it another go. :)

i can't even remember why i stopped blogging.

updates: since the last post, i've got a haircut and got a job. lol. also moved to wimbledon. and that's about it, really. i've also started reading again after the phd experience turned me off books for about half a year.. ;D

what else.. oh and i found out that the disease i had (as mentioned in the last couple of posts back) was leptospirosis, which by uk standards, is a "notifiable disease", and in most cases, fatal. the miracle is that i recovered with no antibiotics.. good old body fought hard.. with a bit of divine help.

but all is well now..woohoo :D

and finally, a new song at church today that struck a chord:

Freely You gave it all for us
Surrendered Your life upon that cross
Great is the love
Poured out for all
And this is our God

Lifted on high from death to life
Forever our God is glorified
Servant and King
Rescued the world
This is our God.

yeah babbbbyy.. bring it on. :D have a good week everyone!!

oh yeah and i'll update the links later and maybe even change the layout a bit.. (or not).
