2012-2013

      12 months ago a.k.a 365 days ago, I told myself that I want to make 2012 a great and memorable year. 365 days has gone by with a blink of an eye and it seems like it's just yesterday where I attended the New Years Eve mass and then spend my first few hours of the New Year in McDonald with sister and a few friends.

       In the year of 2012, I laughed a lot, I cried as much as I laughed, I danced for the Lord, I learn to become more patience and positive, I learn to surrender everything to Him, I lost someone who is dear to me for the first time, I make a lot of mistakes, I listen and most importantly, I grew.

     Truth of be told, I would not say that it's been the best year so far but it's definitely another beautiful year to remember. A lot has changed but that changes bring me to where I am right now and I am thankful to have the people who stayed and also to the people who had left. I mean, what is a good year without tears, heartache, happiness and peace right? I still remember that I would get a lot of invitations in Facebook for celebrating 22nd of December. I always thought what will I do on the 21st of December. at last I got to know that I spend that whole day at home, spending time with God and family.

     I also remember my resolution for the year 2012. I have only one and that is to be a great daughter, good sister, obedient granddaughter and a friend who listens. I would not say that I have accomplish that resolution perfectly, but I would not say that I trash it as well. I would say that i did better compared to the precious years. :-) There is a lot of ups and downs throughout the year but I am blessed because I got to find the solution to most of my problems through one Man and that person is God and with the help of my best friend, the Holy Spirit.

    I have not been a very good Catholic but He is always guiding me and showing me the way home and that is what I love the most about Him. To know that He still cares and love me unconditionally no matter what. He is a amazing Father anyone could ever have. He is beyond words. He has open many doors for me this year like giving me the chance and opportunity to join Kingdom Dancers. He also let me experience disappointments where I am.not able to join the Kingdom Dancers to minister in India due to my finals that falls on that exact same week. He let me grow everyday in my faith, in my relationship with my family and my friendship with wonderful people. He also introduce me to a lot of new faces in the year of 2012. People whom I can call friends. and to all my beautiful friends, cheers to another year of friendship. <3

      There are things that I dint expect to go through but what can I say, He is full of surprises and I am sure that there is more to come. I am so excited to see what's for me in the year of 2013. My resolution is still the same but I am adding one more which is wanting to know more about Christ and to be a good follower of Jesus. I pray that 2013 is going to be a good year. I kinda expect that there will be more challenges to face but I am.all game for it. :D:D I pray that it's not too soon to speak.

      Wishing you all a blessed New Year and I also pray that everyone will get what they want and deserve in this brand new year. Remember to never loose hope, never give up, never let anyone put you down and never never let anyone tell you that you don't deserve love because everybody deserve to be loved cared and adored by every single person, no matter who they are or what has happen in their past.

      Allow yourself to be inspired by the many good things and people in this world. Be the reason why people smile every day, be the reason why peoples life has changed to be a better person, be the reason why people starts to forgive instead of taking revenge, be the reason why people starts to love and give more, be a friend that people would cherish forever. ( I did not take this quote from.anywhere, it just came in to my mind )

oh yes, one more thing. If someone were to ask me what is the best thing that happened in 2012, I would say having to live one more year is the best thing that happened in 2012 and having to participate in the  "God Speaking"  musical adds in more spark to the chapter.

GOD SPEAKING

140 people from the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit involved in this beautiful musical called " God Speaking " which was held in the church itself on the 22nd and 23rd of December 2012. 

140 of us put our full and best effort, time, and energy to make this musical a success. More importantly is that we knowing that God is with us at all times.

In spreading God's word like this, it is always expected that there will be a lot of obstacles that we have to face, as individuals and also as a group. 

but then, because of our Faith, knowing that He is in control of all things, there is nothing to be worry about. 

It is not what is the end of this road that make me miss this musical, but the journey I go through with these musical people especially the dancers. I am in a ministry called " Kingdom Dancers " where we dance and spread God's word and love through our movements. Having practices 3 days a week is no joke. Practice for 6 hours in a day is really really tiring.

I always love December. I love Christmas even more and always looking forward to the 24th to attend Christmas Eve mass in church with my family and friends. The one opportunity for me to dress up, take lots of  pictures and wish everybody Merry Christmas. This is year is a little bit different. Even before Christmas, I was given the opportunity to learn more about Christ and to know what is Christmas all about in a deeper meaning. Wanting to be pure before Christmas, wanting to be good and do what is right all the time. What can I say? This musical has actually make me grow even fonder with Jesus. It makes me want to worship Him  and spend more time with Him. Now I bring Jesus with me everywhere I go and also dressing up and all is just secondary.

I would not say that there is no hardships during this journey. I must admit that the hardships that I have to face becomes worst and harder to face everyday. It was until I wish I could just die and also that the world would really end. but God is wonderful. At times like this, its definitely hard to see God in the picture but not for me because He Himself come to me and just fill me with His love, peace, strength and joy. I felt it. It does not sound real but its real to me because He is real.

The musical is life changing. It definitely touched a lot of lives and at the end of the day, all glory goes up to Him. I am very very happy that I got to be part of this musical. It was a beautiful journey. It is so sad  to know that it ended so fast. 2 days seems like 2 hours. Time pass really fast when you are having fun. We are like one family. 140 of us and to conclude this post, I want to say that this is the best Christmas I ever had. 

PENANG CHRISTMAS OPEN HOUSE

PENANG CHRISTMAS OPEN HOUSE

It is a day I have been waiting for a while now. Last year seems like yesterday. 

I still remember how the Penang Christmas Open House went. It was helled in Auto City and it was also my very first time there. We performed 2 songs.

This year was different and I really did enjoyed myself. Like who cares about my final paper the next day right? ahaha

In the morning. #ootd for mass

Stayed back in church after mass for "Awesome God" (one of the songs that the youth is performing at night) for the last time. 

#Breakfast set. It was my breakfast, lunch and dinner. haha

Went home after the practise. Had 2 hours of rest and getting ready to go back to church again. Did studied a little bit as well.. =)

#ootn Performing "God Speaking". One of my favorite song.

Penang Christmas Open House was held in Fort Cornwallis this year. It is the one time of the year where all the churches gather together to celebrate this joyful event called Christmas. The place was packed with all types of people with different race and religion. There is a variety of food served and it is FOC. Despite of the heavy rain, the crowd is still there. The event comes together with a number of performance from different churches to spread the good news of the Lord. 

The theme of this years event is Hope of The World. 

It is indeed a beautiful and wonderful event. =)

Had MCD for supper ( super hungry ) and once again, it was a great great day. It was a good and fun conversation we ( Sharon , Aaron, Mel and myself ) had in MCD until 1am. 

17.12.2012

Today at 4pm marks the end of my FINALS for this semester. 

I was just thinking in the car on my way home after my last paper that what is a meaningful Christmas without  obstacles to face right? 

As much as I really enjoy being and walking through this month, I realized that I will also be passing through and doing some things that I really don't like. For example, having Finals so near to Christmas and getting ready to go for confession. To be honest, I don't really like going for confession but I know I must go. I want to spend Christmas with a new heart and welcome the New Year with a pure mind, heart and soul. and also I know it is all going to be worth it. I am looking forward for the next 2 weeks. Oh how I wish time will just pass slowly. There is still lots more to be done. I pray that all of you are excited for Christmas as much as I do. =) 8 MORE DAYS TO CHRISTMAS! weeeeeeeeeee~~~
