i’ve been going through some hard time for the past few weeks. i’m at war with myself and i’m struggling to make up my mind. my heart wants something and my mind another. do you know how that feels?

today is day 2 of my “new phase”, tears still roll down my cheeks whenever i have time alone to think. i thank god for friends around me who keep me entertained. without them i would be having a pity party by myself.

i will stay strong no matter what comes my way. i believe that God has the best plan for me.

dear little heart of mine. it’s is okay!

Events in August worth blogging about.

We had a jumble sale called Buy4Love on 20/08/2011 @ JayaOne. It’s part of the Passionately You breast & cervical awareness campaign which aims to raise money for Assunta Foundation. It was held together with the other Flea Markets (Chic Pop, Bettr Weekend & Crafty Market).

If you are interested to know more, go to www.dontduckit.com for more details on the campaign.

Here are some pictures taken during the pre sale & actual sales day.

The booth selling the tee “Don’t Duck It” sizes available for adults and kiddos.

That is Jason my colleague who was on duty, everything that we sold were donated items by our company staffs and the public.

Toys, accessories, decorative items and etc

There’s even a section for clothes, bags, shoes, ties and yada yada

A Buy4Love poster, we had many things going on as you can see. Pardon the bad picture quality as i took this in a hurry. People were everywhere like “people mountain people sea” lol.

Debrina & Joseph came to support the event and we had light brekkie at The Bee. They actually came to pick me home (such good sibs i have).

Okay moving along, here are some pictures of Elayna’s 15th birthday celebration @ Itallianies – The Curve with the Chin family.

This is the birthday girl playing with her birthday toy. White Fuji Instax a present that suits her style.

She likes to take pictures so her elder brother suggested we get her this gift and she hearts it. good thinking bro!

Customized cupcakes specially for her *jeles* cos she gets so much of love on her birthday.

Us on the other side of the table.

Them also on the other side of the table.

Happy moments captured by Fuji Instax! Looking good.

We even made her a video where the 3 of us sang Happy Birthday song, it’s a funny video too bad i can’t share it here on wordpress.

So that’s the happenings of August

I finished 16 episodes in 3days (stayed up till the wee hours in the morning) :p

Yes, i’m a sucker for romance, it makes me smile and cry.

There’s a song in the drama called “Lovin Ice Cream” and i’m addicted to it.

copied the lyric from a blog (Romanization by: B o o Y i . r A g A m U f F i N ™)

My “pc less” days are finally over because i got myself an apple product (big grin) which is a 11″ MacBook Air. A gift to myself.

Tada..

Picture of my beautiful looking mac (new & perfect).

Unfortunately the beauty didn’t last very long. I dropped it when i was out for lunch last saturday

No scratches just a dent. Thank God everything is functioning as normal..phew!!

With the mba i can now update frequently.

Back date a few months, in the month of May i had an opportunity to watch Kenny G live in KL. It was an unexpected blessing from a friend.

We were given two platinum seats for the performance, fumi was super excited and happy. He is a big fan of jazz music.

Bought a CD and had Kenny G sign on it.

Also in the month of May, i received another blessing which is a (pre-loved) LG air conditioning by fumi, Yay! He got it for me because i was complaining so much about the super warm Malaysian weather.

In June, SPS youth had our second youth camp in Bayu Beach Resort Port Dickson and it was really fun.

Me under the hot sun with a pingpong ball and a spoon in my hand.

Fumi & I attended a catholic wedding for the first time. My colleague Debbie Lai tied the knot with Joshua Thong. They make a very cute and happy couple! Congratulations.

Group picture of us from AA. Big smiles for the camera.

In July, i did a health screening and almost fainted when they took my blood samples (so embarrassing it was only a few ml). The medical report came back and i had a slightly high cholesterol reading >< so am cutting down on meaty and greasy food these days. conclusion: thin people can have high cholesterol level reading, eat healthy.

I had a breakthrough in my work too, i took up the challenge to do a presentation in Public Mutual S’ban. Taking baby steps to come out of my comfort zone.

Sports club had an interesting sport outing which was Batting Challenge at 1Utama. It looked easy but when i tried it was tiring and stressful. Felt bit demotivated because i didn’t score much, but it was a good experience none the less.

Holding the bat ready to hit it hard. My hand ache for more than a week. No easy game.

P&W had a dinner at Fireworks S’ban to thank Joseph for being MD for a year.

This is our P&W team as of July 2011.

Yearly my company takes part in a CSR campaign called Passionately You (Breast & Cervical Cancer Awareness). It’s a joint campaign between AA, PJLA, Assunta & JayaOne. This year i attended the press launch which was held in Assunta Hospital. During the launch i met some celebrities including Amber Chia, Rina Omar & Farah Fauzana.

Part of our marketing team who attended the press launch. We are all wearing the “Don’t Duck It” tee.

Another exciting thing which i did was Laser Tag at I-City Shah Alam. I joined fumi’s cg outing and there were 20 of us. The game is similar to paintball but instead of paint bullets it’s laser (less painful) very suitable for ladies. I did fairly well in this game (proud of self). Although each game only takes 10minutes it was thrilling and really fun. We played till almost midnight.

Laser warriors posing in victory!

Before i end this post, let me show you my latest picture with fumi @ tokyo street (Pavilion KL).

Goodnight!!

it’s super nice so here goes…

“you are”

Love unfailing truth unchanging
I depend on You
Faithful Father peace forever
I will rest in You

Unshakable my hope remains
Lord I believe in You

You are the strength for those in need
You are defender of the weak
You are everything we need
You are our God You are our God

God of mercy I will live in praise of all You’ve done
God eternal by Your power I will overcome

None greater none higher
All praise to God our Saviour
Unchanging unfailing
All praise to You our Saviour
