Cynthia!

I found this picture of Cynthia so cute!
btw, this photo ain't mine. I stole it from U Wyno.
(sighs...)

A journey in time

Cruising down memory lane, back when I was 15 and 16. The greatest times of my life!
(gosh, I speak as though I'm 80 already! Maybe I am)
Here were the things I liked:


Prawn Mee was my absolute favourite back then (before I came to Selayang and discovered Pan Mee!). Everytime I'd be craving for it, so much so that my mom asked me if I was pregnant! The best one I've ever tasted was in Penang.

My BESTBESTBEST friends who were with me for three years and then we split in Form Four because we were sent to different classes. L-R: Neermala, Durkeshini, Luveeniya, Me, Sri Vithia.

These were the moments that I wasn't a loner. When I was given a chance to have best friends.

The Cheetah Girls, the only kind of music I listened to. Plus, I read their books. Their vocals were excellent seriously! And their dance moves were awesome. I also loved their BFF spirit, it always left a hope that one day, I'll find my own group of cheetahlicious girls! (sighh...girly dreams...)

This is my favourite song:




AND..... (majortriplequadruple sighhhh...)

I had this huge crush on Lucas Grabeel! He was the first thing on my mind when I woke up and the last thing when I slept. Everytime I saw him on TV, my heart danced.

Gosh, now when I think back, I wonder how all this was possible? Crushing heavily on something you don't know. I guess thats why they call it a CRUSH!

(honestly, when I look at him, I still smile. but my heart beats for another... *wink*)

Long walks. I loved walking by the school field alone and think. I had a lot of things going on and watching the green grass and smelling the fresh air was a way for me to let go. Most of my stories came from these walks...



I was addicted to "The Clique" series ( blame it on Tracy!). I kept reading and reading cause i found it so awesome at that time. This is Book One to Book Six. Until now, I still pick it up and read when I'm in the mood for something catty, nonsensical and rich ;-)

JANE AUSTEN. Need I explain more?? ( love you to death...)

Aly and AJ. The other kind of music that I loved. Too bad I couldn't find their albums in Malaysia. I had to download their songs. But I loved their movies and music videos. Once I was highly addicted to "Phil of The Future", a sitcom in Disney Channel that Aly Michalka (right) was acting in (and was having a major crush on Ricky Ullman as well!).

Noticed that none of the above had any elements of God or reading the Bible?

This was my life. Pop culture, glitter, perishable things.

Yet, I didn't regret because I think that the past shapes us for the future.

Now I have a greater hunger for God and not these things. Growing up, my interests have changed. And I'm happy.

Until I learn to long for something unperishable, I will not get what I want.

Songs that keep me going

FRESH MILK

I think I'm growing up too fast. I expect to be treated as though I'm 2 years older when in actual fact, I will only be 18 next month. I'm going to start afresh and I will change.
Sometimes I forget how to have fun. When the blessing comes, I hesitate.

=D

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending," - Maria Robinson.

Dear God, give me the strength to change the things that I can change and the courage to accept my weaknesses and allow You to work the change in me.

Apple pie

My classic apple pie :)

So the kitchen strikes again.

Baking is an art. Thats all I can say.

Some enjoy it, and there are some who don't.

Baking helps me feel better. Its therapeutic, especially when you cream and fold using your hands and the wooden spoon instead of the machine. Call me old-fashioned, but I bake the old-fashioned way.

At least for once, in this past two weeks of brokenness and distress, I actually feel happy.

:-)

Turning Point

Picking up the pieces
A process of pruning, which will be expected for the coming years (maybe more)
Will be strong and truly believe God's word and not anything else. Even myself!

Carissa Morais will deny herself and take up her cross.
Its not going to be easy. I can expect breakdowns, tears and the lonely wilderness.
In the end, I will emerge strong.

A good work is taking place in me.
Will learn to see the big picture.
And with God's grace and help, to shun the lies of the enemy.

Still under construction.
MAJOR MAJOR CONSTRUCTION.
God is good, all the time.


:D

Guess who?

Guess who decided to drop a surprise in our house again?
Miss Mommy Tiger who gave birth in our house last December, and now she's back with 4 kittens! (2 tigers and 2 blacks).
My mom was not too happy about it seeing that this is the third time our house was used as a gynaecology ward for cats. I wonder why our house is so prone to pregnant cats.

In my case, I was overjoyed with the new arrivals (me being a cat lover and all) though I'm pretty sure that my mom is going to get rid of them sooner or later.



I don't know if you can see properly (thanks to my "high-tech" handphone) but there's four of them altogether, pilled up on top of each other to keep warm. Gosh, I just love cats and kittens!!
The other tiger is squashed underneath the three.

I'll take better pictures later on once I search for my digital camera which is probably lying somewhere around the house, taking a shower or chilling out in my sister's room.

I can't wait to own a fat, orange-and white cat with a long tail one day when I'm on my own!

;-D
