Hold Me Now
God is sovereign.
He has everything under control even when the world feels like it's slipping away underneath me.
God is a tower of strength and shelter.
He can be strong when I have no strength left.
God is the prince of peace.
When I feel unsecure or unsafe, he comforts me with his love.
God is my best friend.
And he knew exactly what to tell me after leaving the hospital for the last time.
Hold Me Now - Hillsong
On that day when I see
All that you have for me
When I see you face to face
There surrounded by your grace
All my fear is swept away
in the light of your embrace
where you love is all I need
and forever Iam free
Where the streets are made of gold
In your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven rise to you alone
No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering
you hold me now, you hold me now
No darkness, no sick or lame
No hiding
you hold me now, you hold me now.

Crazy Cousins
since i last blogged, i have done a lot.
i spent thursday in the hospital with my dad, hau yang & kuku lili. i did lots of homework that day!
thursday to friday night i went for youth aflame's youth camp (just one night of it), and they stayed over at church. it was so much fun to catch up with all my childhood friends and cousins and meet new people. we played games, listened to preaching and played more games. ps. julia's team from Glad Tidings in PJ came to speak to us. the theme of the camp was 'touching lives' and ps. suwita mentioned that for us to touch lives we must first change our hearts. it was a great camp.
on friday we went to see my mum's dad - my ah kung, and visited my kung kung again. then, we took my mum's mum - my ah mah home from the hospital after her dialisis.
saturday we went shopping at sungei wang. i got my $7.50 burberry watch. i am now loving the UK shop - topshop, in pavillion, but it's super expensive! sat night was family reunion. it was so good to see family again.
sunday we took my ah kung & shannen & tyron to church - that was a miracle in itself! dad preached at my home church here - canaan sejatra. it was good to catch up with old family friends again. we went out for lunch (of course) to teck wah (of course) with the board (of course). we then went to visit the seows and my grandpa. we went to 'fatty crab' for dinner with the longs and the wongs. we also visited a pasar malam (night market) and i bought jay chou and david tao :)
monday i got a haircut :O lol. and then went to midvalley with mummy and elysia and then met hau yang and david to watch valentines day and eat ipoh chicken rice. then, with hau yang driving like a maniac, we drove to shah alam for dinner with the family.
tuesday was more hospitals and shopping. we had dinner with the tans at casa mila. and then, supper of curry mean at sri sina
wednesday we left at 2.45 pm after an early dim sum breaky with uncle tham song. we then drove to the hospital to see my kung kung. to our suprise, he had decided (after being very adamant against it) to accept jesus into his life. my dad reminded him time and time again that doing it for his kids will be meaningless, and he understood this. he accepted jesus and dad baptised him with sprinkling. it was one of the most amazing moments in my life, and i will remember it forever. we then said our final goodbyes.
we hopped on the plane and got home this morning at 3.30AM.
will blog later on deeper issues.

a grandparent's love
over the last few days, many of you will know i have been in malaysia. it was a rocky start at 3AM on tuesday morning, and we landed at 9.30 local time. the whole first day was a blur.
we have been spending everyday mostly between hospitals. my kung kung (dad's dad) is at selayang hospital and my ah mah (mum's mum) is at the university hospital. it hasn't exactly been a pleasant visit, but i have noticed and learnt many things already.
it's so amazing to have family around. my kung kung's room has been full everyday since we got here. he has to have 24hour care from family members just in case anything happens and we need to alert staff. we have been rotating to look after him. he's very rollercoaster. he's up then he's down again. we have had some great moments joking with him, and talking to him. yesterday in particular, he just got a haircut, and it was the most expensive haircut he'd ever had. he was frustrated because the hairdresser had used scissors instead of clippers and couldn't cut his hair properly. we all proceeded to share stories we knew of the most expensive haircut. aunty phik yee said her friend got a $1,500 haircut!
it's so sad to see my two grandparents who were once so healthy, so strong and so wise looking so frail and fragile. they remind me of children who need people to help them. my kung kung has been frustrated as he cannot do simple things like going to the toilet by himself and sitting up by himself anymore. the other day he managed to go to the toilet, he was so happy.
it's hard as i want to communicate with them, but my chinese is so bad! and even though my ah mah can speak english, i don't ever know what to say.
it's been good to see some of my cousins again. yesterday was like 'bring-your-girlfriend-to-see-kung-kung-day' at the hospital! it was great to meet everyone.
my cousin ian yee who works for the youth section "RAGE" of the STAR paper here in Malaysia wrote an article about my kung kung which was published in the star yesterday. it reduced us all to tears.
so, i will leave you all with the link to this article. please check it out!

history maker
"when i grow up, i want to be an artist"
what happened to those days where it didn't matter how much money you earned or the job availability or what uni you could get into or what enter score you needed to get into a course? what happened to our childhood dreams?
i'll tell you what..
they got crushed by our peers, our teachers, our parents, VCAA, universities and the industry.
why is it so hard to pick one career to stick to?
research shows that most Gen Y's will change jobs every two years and change careers every five years. clearly we all have ants in our pants, or we're just not happy.
