Reunited eternally.

GB = Graduation + Birthday

Hello November! Nice to meet you. ^^ 
I know I'm totally late for an October post. But still, I wanna mention two highlights of what and how October went (in a nutshell). I will go briefly specifically.(i just tend to be a lengthy writer at times.)

1. Graduation.
   - 3 years of being a biotech undergraduate
   - Having the opportunity to officially graduate feels awesome. I couldn't believe how the years have passed    by so fast!
   - I love my family. =) I hope I made them proud.

How u spell Family = Father and mother, i love you. =)

2. Birthday
   - So, I haven't really decided how to celebrate my birthday this year actually. My parents decided to 'makan2' at home in conjunction of both success (age and scroll). A big one. I thought not many are coming but it turns out mannnyy. Families... And I'm so grateful to have most church members came that night. One family in Christ, indeed. =)
   - Later on,the night before the day, i went out with my high school besties. There were 5 of us (wish Gloria could join us!) and 3 of us planned a surprise for 2 of us (me & Geraldine). Our birthdays were just 3 days apart.. It was a lovely surprise in Bali Bali Garden. Thanks for the gift! ^^ The waitress came out with the cake after we are done with dinner. Along with the band singing a Happy Birthday song. I just didn't expect they would surprise me in such a public way. haha! 

From left: Ellie, Eca, Geraldine, me & Mel

Eca: my childhood friend, neighbour, teman satu bas skolah, teman main masak2 masa kici (masak Maggie sampai kering tu air. haha!), classmate, schoolmate, ketawa-mate and bestmate. 
Mel: pengawas yg nampak garang, classmate, schoolmate, gengkaras-mate and bestmate.
Ellie: teman seperjuangan di zaman kegemilangan/zaman keremajaan, fashionista (you really have to give me credit on this. haha), classmate, encouraging-mate and bestmate.
Geraldine: Pustakawan paling kiut time highschool, classmate, geng karas-mate, Uni mate (We graduated in UMS at the same time) and bestmate.
Thank you so much! Words can't describe it. And sometimes my actions may not describe it too. But I truly am blessed to have you girls! *groupie hugs* =)
   - One church leader happened to be there with his family at that time. So I cut some cakes for them as well. He is also watching the whole surprise thingy going on. Hohohoh.. 
   - So anyway, after that my friends dared me to sing on stage with the band. I thought of it lightly at first but then thought, Why Not? So I did. As an appreciation of what they have done, I sang LOVE by Frank Sinatra. The band was awesome. We had great time. ^^ We hit Party Play later on for desserts (choc fondant! #yumness)
   - On the night of the real day, I went out with my Uni friends. There, again, I had a second surprise! I thought there was no cake or whatsoever, since we did a surprise a week ago for Sue. When I first arrived at the scene, they were singing me birthday song, so i thought there might be a cake prepared. But there isn't any! Then Acho pulled out his SG Tab and open a candle application. Yessss...that's what you thought it is. I am supposed to blow a digital candle. How impressive is that? XD It did blowed out like a normal candle though. Without the heat and smoke, of course. haha! 
   -While we were talking and chit chatting as we wait for our meals, Acho and Sue came with this cake that came out from nowhere (well, actually, its from my left side XD) and they were singing birthday song to me again (for the second time of the night!)
   -  I laughed my heart out that night. Thanks for the humor. I love the big orange card without pictures on it! Especially the music notes. Pretty! =)

Kenny, as always, the organizer and main planner. (After all, we were partner in crime a week ago. hehe..)
Annas, the cheerful one. Always with the smile and gentleness. tapi beware...garagas mati kopio oi.. :p hehe..
Sue, ko la paling macam Mama2 tapi paling innocent. Tapi, ko juga la partner in crime ni kali. haha. 
Acho, thank you sebab susah2 bwa tu kek dri kadai. haha. And also sbab jaga kawan sia bagus2..hehehe.. 
Mc, thank you sbab sudi turun n celebrate with us!  X sia2 ko dtg, byk mknan dan hiburan yg menyenangkan hati. hohoho.. Plus, jumpa teman sebangsa ko lagi tu (trus kami jadi blur =.=")!

In a nutshell, Thank you, uri chinggu ya! Posting this post is what I can do to show my gratitude (again!). 
God bless y'all! My sincere prayer is that let the friendship sustain through eternity! =)

Be blessed,
Nethy.

Satisfied single

Its been more than a year now. Well here I am. Still breathing. THANK U LORD!

Past relationship has taught me a lot. And somehow affected me as well.

I don't know but it seems harder now than then. To trust especially. Super hard.

Friends and family have asked me that question. Sometimes I'm tired of it so i answered shortly.

Well, this is not the time for any relationship. I know that perfectly. 

The scripture even said there is a time for everything, right?

But you know, I am already in love. ;)

Isn't it awesome to be content, secured, happy and loved by Jesus? 

You might say, "Owh shush..There u go again about that.. We all know that already.."

Well, stop me if u can but its my blog, so my rule? 

If you're in love with someone, wouldn't you express it to your friends?

If you're married, would you only say the 3 words once during your marriage and that's it?

If yes, my sincere condolence concern to you. (have a self-inventory, would ya?)

If no, then we're on the same boat! 

A satisfied single, as my post's title reads. And yes, its a fact. =)

Blessings! ^^

Doaku (A song for the nation)

DOAKU (Original singer: Ariffin G.)

Ku datang padaMu

Sujud dihadapanMu

Betapa kurindu

Diam dihadiratMu

Kau yang mulia

Datang ditempat ini

Penuhi setiap jiwa

Yang rindu jamahanMu

Ini doaku untuk neg'riku

Pulihkanlah, kembalikan pada kami

Ku berlutut dihadapanMu

Pulihkanlah bangsa kami

Saat ini

Ku menyembah, Nama Yesus

Bertaktahlah disini Kaulah Raja

p.s.- Sorry klu sound x brapa clear ya...  :)

Be blessed, sis! :)

What's next?

...is a question I've been questioning God since.

"Wait on Him. Wait on His voice."

Its been a pretty amazing days, these past few days, I felt the fear of the Lord is awakening like never before. Never had I felt so scared with what's coming. We had couple of prayer meetings few days back and I remember just crying out and prayer in tears. You know why? Here is what I'm about to share. 

While listening to Pastors's message in church, one of the intercessors hand me over the programme book for 16Sept'12 morning service. Yes, the one with Eagle and Lion on the cover. She said to me "Keep this. 50 years later we won't be able to witness this anymore." Of course, she said it casually. I laughed lightly as well. But something strikes within me deeply. I don't know what is it. I was just fearful. How is it gonna be 50 years later? Its a long way to go but that's what I was thinking at that moment. 

The next thing I knew, the burden came from IDontKnowWhere. I was crying out for the younger generations. How many out there are God fearing? I don't know. But I'm positive there is! 

My fear is that we're gonna burn passionately but only for some time and then the disease of being lukewarm will come and infect us. 
My fear is that we'll lose our patience in the process of waiting on God's voice and act on our own. Too many of 'actions' but less of 'praying'.

I committed everything to the LORD. No matter what people might say, let Him lead the way and just follow Him, shall we?
Prophet Jeremiah was spreading God's word to the people, but they don't listen.
A list of prophets came after that and not all hear them out and obey. There is a 400 years of silence before the times New testament starts. Not even one prophet. There must be a reason for that. Let's set our focus right, made right with God and start to care for the younger generations.

Let's pray for the strength to be patient and wait upon the LORD.
Let's keep on praying and crying out for the younger generations, the current generation, the body of Christ, the country, more revelation from above and let's walk hand in hand until we experience breakthrough and beyond, that reaches to the ends of this earth!

Be blessed!
Nethy.

A day to bless Malaysia!

Last sunday, 16 September 2012, the whole body of Christ in KK and beyond witnessed and celebrated Malaysia Day together in two big, significant venues - Padang Merdeka & Stadium Likas.

Different venues with the same purpose - A day to bless Malaysia! =)

The morning service starts at 8AM in Padang M.

The praise & worship team, all dressed in their respective traditional attires, led the congregation into deep worship. A very meaningful, solemn morning service I would say. Because exactly 8AM, 49 years ago (16 September 1963), a very meaningful, solemn event has taken place in the same venue.

It was a very touching moment when Pastor Jerry prayed for the land and ask God for forgiveness for our past leaders. I thought I was the only one who got emotional on that. It turns out most of the others felt the same thing! And with so many young people who came and join together in prayer, worship and sitting under the hot burning sun was delightful as well. We even took the Lord's supper together at the end of the service! 

Watching the native leaders to take the lead and made strong, firm declarations of God's words upon the land and the people (everyone!) moved me into thinking - "This is gonna be historical. And we're all watching history in the making." 

Heaven watched. Angels watched. It was awesome!

The evening celebration was joyful and awesome as well! Energetic and passionate worship team. Tambouriners. Banner bearers. Flag bearers. Drummers. Shofarers. God is moving people!!

We had a scary weather the night before and we had some disturbances technically. But praise God! He is able to do all things! We had a great night of celebration and fireworks. =)

Witnessing different churches joining in together is simply amazing...! 

Over 10,000 people came. And I'm sure everyone is blessed to be a blessing.

All glory to God. Forever and ever. Amen.

Ian & Elda

The wedding ceremony has taken place in Maranatha church more than a week ago.
I hadn't got the time to blog about this up 'till now and here I go about their BIG day!

Congratulation to Mr and Mrs Ian & Elda on their wedding day (8sept2012) !!
I am sincerely happy for you guys. ^^
I've known her since forever. She's one of my closest cousin, sister and bestfriend. We shared things together, stories, secrets, food (it depends), accessories, clothing (erm no, not really), car (i drove hers and she, well, don't drive mine. hehe!) and etc. I love going to her house and play when we were small. She was the quiet type during those times but playful as well (remember Datuk Harimau??;)). I recall back when I was celebrating my birthday in my house, she had this really really short hair and skinny back then!

All the ups and downs, tears and laughters... 
It has been a long way down the memory lane.
Now she's married! To Ian the man! =)
I have to say that their wedding is the best wedding I've ever witnessed. I was already tearing up when she was handed over. I guess I was very happy for her. 
I love the ceremony. I love the atmosphere. I love the meaningful vows they've spoken to one another. Its like, heaven stopped, and everyone is watching them. I know God has blessed them. =)
And the wedding is exactly like how I imagined a wedding should be. 
Schoolmates. Now turned husband and wife. Talking about destiny huh. ;)

Congratulation again guys!

Nethy.
