So here's what's going on.

Hola! Greetings from my laptop. haha. Anyhow, here's my toy story (nope, i mean my story). Ok, scratch that, its the coffee effect.

Last saturday Salley, Putri, Mere and I went for a trip to KL. It was my 1st time traveling far with friends and without my parents. We all had fun and i would surely remember it as one of my best trips ever. :D

Apart from shopping, window shopping, etc... I also had a chance to meet up and dine with friends during Tcamp and also met Debbie! Gah, i miss her a lottt.. Too bad her sem break almost ended when I came there. So we didn't have much time to have "that" talk. Not gossiping, of course (if that's what u're thinking!). It was almost 3 hours past midnight when Lyd and Deb picked me up at KL sentral and i really appreciate it! *Thanks* ^^ I went to church together with Deb during Easter and met her friends as well. What can I say, they are all warm and welcoming... :) Lyd, Hannah, Phil, Jun, Adrian... its nice meeting u guys! It was also there and then that I first knew that Briyani rice was an Indian cuisine. (i know..i know.. but at least now i know.. hah.)

Cuzzies.

After staying with Debbie, I joined my friends the next day. We went 'kai2' ['jalan2' in colloquial Chinese language] around Bukit Bintang and also walked to KLCC. We had fun at Aquaria and even had ourselves a non-permanent tattoo on our back (it only stays there for like, 3 days). A lot and a lot of taking pictures as well! #SStime On the final night we stayed in Shah Alam and I got a chance of having a tour around (yes, I mean 'around'...) Shah Alam. Thanks to Abigail and Ps. Perry for the hospitality! I will definitely NOT forgot the U-turn that cost RM10 (WHAT???). Sabah doesn't have such a thing. Hehehe... But anyway, S.A. is far more spacious and serene (a lil' bit la..) compared to KL. :) We went to Sunway on the last day and bought few more things and heads off to the airport. #bye2KL

*Fast forward*

Today (after the trip) is one of the days where I could get up late and relax while spend time at home. It feels good you know... especially when there are many things happening around you and you finally got a time to just rest and have most time at home (in a day!). Around evening, I went to campus (lab, to be specific) and ferment some microbes for tomorrow's lab work. I picked up mom from her workplace and we went for Bakuteh in Kepayan. I normally do not like to go restaurant that I'm not familiar with (especially when u're hungry) but we decided to try it out. It tastes OK la.. We had our mom and daughter talk (and yes, that includes relationship, thank u...). She was so funny when we talk about the future. I doubt if I would marry if i were to follow her standards (OK, hahaha.). Yet it does feels good when you talk such a matter especially with ur mom. :) #MomKnowsBest

Proudest moment of today: Paying the bill for our Bakuteh. ^^

Well, that's about it. Although its a bit lame but I'm still gonna say it... Peace out~

New hair color.

Decided to put on a new colour from Liese (Correct pronunciation: Lee -Sé). The color is "sweet pink", as you can see from the box. But it doesn't turns out to be pink, as you can see in the photo.

Elda, Me & the new colour and Phoebe :)

Blessed Good Friday!

You know Good Friday doesn't mean that friday is good, right? Here I am, after a long time of silence in this blog, just wanna share about what God's goodness. Not only on friday, but everyday...

Busyness. its a word not all people likes. I am one of them. But like it or not, I am bound to finish my lab work ASAP. So, the night before friday i went to lab and work there overnight. As i was driving to campus that evening, I was talking to God casually, speaking in tongue and just talk, in other words - pray. I was reflecting on what He has done on the cross 2012 years back. As i was praying, i realized how much i miss Him. thinking back, my life had been so busy. I truly misses Him.

When i finished my work in lab at 7AM (Yes, a sleepless night indeed), i went home and had only a nap. Then, we went to church for Good Friday service at 10AM. We are all fasting and praying on that day. In the beginning, i wasn't feeling that sleepy. But when it comes to afternoon, it seems almost automatically that my eyes shuts down itself. It was after a testimony that i felt my spirit began to stir slowly. Pastor realized many people are sleepy during that time and she said Do not sleep but try to activate your spirit! I was very sleepy at that moment. Very2 sleepy. I try to ignore my tiredness but i just couldn't help it. But slowly, one at a time, my spirit was being stirred without me realizing it. When we worship that afternoon, i remember myself just giving thanks for Jesus' blood. But as i keep on repeating and giving thanks, something took over me. I felt its as if my SOUL is giving thanks to Him in a great manner. I was overwhelmed! I quickly took a tambourine and began to shake it. As we go more into the worship atmosphere, very quickly, my sleepiness seemed to subside for the time being and i felt my innerman craving for more and more of Him. God is awesome!!

That is why I am a strong believer in God Almighty. (Okay now she's preaching u might say but can u help it if u're in looove with someone? U must tell ur friends or wait, tell the world, right? Now same to this case of mine.) As problems come and as people come and go, guess what, God is faithful. It is just His nature and nothing can beat that. Not even a boyfriend or a husband or a bestfriend. How i wish people could realize that and began to see Him through the problems. God is awesome. What I experienced yesterday only brought me closer to Him.

I hope what I'm sharing here is clear. When my sleepiness was stronger than my desire to worship Him that afternoon, I slowly come to Him JUST AS I AM. As i give thanks to Him, I was only speaking it out but my mind still in a state of exhaustion. However, when i press on (Yes, press on), something happened. My mind and thoughts were brought to captives to the mind of Christ! And as evening comes, I was soaked with gratitude. The cross. His blood. His love for us all. :)

God bless and be blessed!

I am in love. Period.

I had a great time recently in my prayer time. God has been faithful. There are so many things that He revealed to me. And i am so so SO much grateful. Indeed, i am in love with Jesus more than before. My life couldnt've been better without Him. 


Having Him in my life feels just... hmm..awesome... :)


Today is valentine's day. There are people who celebrate this day. Some don't. Some people even argued regarding this day. As for me, i have no feeling at all. It didn't bother me if i celebrate it or not...since i am already in love every day with Him. ^^ There's a verse in Scripture that says "I (God) have loved you with an everlasting love." What a wonderful statement! 


Here's a song that express how my heart overflows right now. Peace. Secured. Loved. And i believe there is more than life... It's a song sang by Kari Jobe called "I'm in Love With You". Be blessed. :)

Can I sing You a song 
Can I pour out my heart 
To say Your love is healing me 
Just a glimpse of Your grace 
And my whole world is changed 
Forever and completely 

I’m in love with You 
I’m in love with You 
I’m in love with You 
I’m in love with You 

Redeemed, made whole 
By the love that You have poured out over my soul 
Restored, I am made new 
Father You only You

The Lord protects.

Last Sunday night, the four of us went to watch movie. The earlier show was full already. So we grab the next one, which starts a bit late (Actually more than a bit). By the time the movie ended, it was passed midnight. We headed straight home after that. Here's what happen...

On the way back from Suria, as we are approaching the traffic light in front of All Saints church (the car is moving at normal speed), we all heard a sharp sound far behind us. Few seconds later, (at high speed) , a mini van just hit the side of our car, sliding all along it including breaking off the side mirror and ran off just like that. We all had the shock. I know I do. Very shocked indeed, because the crash aimed directly at where i sat [behind the passenger sit]. (What puzzles me is that, I totally didn't let out any scream.) I was resting my head near to the door and when the van crash the side of the car, I bolted and Debbie (shocked, too) quickly grabbed and hugged me tightly.

Totally shocked and speechless, I found myself praying for all of us, part of me are mad at the mini van's driver. "He must've been drunk", I thought. Which turns out true when we came across the mini van (now driving slowly but was NOT driving straight). We didn't plan to search for the van, yet we were glad we out it. The driver is totally, TOTALLY drunk. But he tried his best to apologize and pay back what had been damaged.

A part of me was angry because the way he drive earlier could've harmed lives. Part of me was shocked. I was physically trembling from the experience and especially thinking back the sound and impact I had earlier. "I could almost die", thinking back then. Part of me, however, pitied the van driver. He was messed up and he looked young. His friend who was with him in the van explained to us that they were from a pub and she don't know how to drive so all she could do was accompany him while he is driving. Bad decision. He should've called his friend or family to pick him up at the pub. Debbie let out a shout/scold to the lady about being drunk and still driving. Anyhow, it was sad to see drunk people. Not only they are not themselves, they are causing unwanted troubles, be it car accidents or anything in the list.

After all of us got home, I couldn't really sleep. I prayed and couldn't stop thanking the Lord for the protection upon us. Though some might call it 'luck', for me its not. I know we are all under His protection. Thank You, Lord. I also called a friend of mine, telling the story again to relief myself. If ever my friends or families would be drunk and still wanna drive, after all advises failed, my last choice would be to knock him off in the head or anywhere OR throw a pail of ice cold water at him to wake him up. (Okay, urm, that's mean of me. :-s )

How I thank Him for what He's done! The Lord protects those under His covering. So dwell in Him always, surrender every situation into His hand and He will direct you to the best destination.

Be blessed,
Nethy.

Islandscape!

Thank U Lord for this day... Going to the island is really a good thing if u wanna have a total relax/fun time, away from the business of city and life. And its more precious when you're going with your loved ones.

If you're wondering why I love being on island and why i like posting such a thing, its because I am just simply loving it and sharing it won't bite, no? ;-)

We were indecisive whether its going to island or Karambunai, since the news reported that the weather is not safe. However, due to our motivation and the surprisingly sunny weather, we decided to head off to JP and ask if its safe to go. Eventually, we went there to the counter and the next thing we know (without asking if its safe or not) we paid the fees and Mamutik...here we go~! :D
My nephew Joha was with us too. Its his first time going to the island (he didn't even know what an island is at first). When i first asked him where are we going, he thought we are going to the swimming pool or rather, "Kulam". hah..so cute..

Fast forward...

Had a great time at Mamutik! Went snorkelling with Debbie but I didn't go too far coz for goodness sake, Bleached corals are everywhere! And my feets are hurting from stepping on them. And its not much too see either. Apart from bleached corals, there are tiny, nice, identical fishes as well. It was GOOOOD just being in the water though. And we had a good time scrubbing ourselved with the sands near the sea. After 'em off, our skins feel super soft and clean. (The wonders of sandbeach huh. Excluding Tanjung Aru's sands. Those are, like, potential danger to the skin.)

Went back around 2PM and since its so hot, we grab some Veda ice-creams. Tastes so good~ yum yum... Took a group photo of us using timer and so, here it is...

Be reminded that...

Obedience is better than sacrifice.

Humility & Fear of the Lord.

Worship in Spirit and in Truth.

The Way, the Truth & the Life.

Pray without ceasing.

Meditate on God's Words.

The Truth will set us free.

Watch and pray.

Be still and know that He is Lord.

Last but not least, 

Be prepared!

Keep your hands clean and your cloth white!
