the old has gone, the new has come

a caterpillar, in order to transform into a beautiful butterfly, it must leave the old self~


circumstances in life may cause you pain & sorrow..
that's the darker colours of your life.
but those circumstances made you think.
ask yourself, what are the causes? look at no one but at your ownself..
examine your heart. are there any wrong decisions that you've been made?
rejoice! God's grace is here~
greater than you can imagine.

let the memories of the past be passed,
they are lessons to be learned.
& all we need is to move on~
look forward, look to Him..
He is the hope.
He is the joy.

many of us are looking for freedom~
is it being free from business??
no. that's not the real freedom you wanna have.
the real total freedom is being set free from bondages..
it's like even in the midst of hurts or in the deepest valley in life,
when you can feel the peace & joy in you, that's the freedom~
that kind of peace is indescribable..

who can set you free?? there's none but Jesus..

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

-John 14:6-

he can. set you free.

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

-John 8:32-

now that you are free,
go, go & begin a new life~
let go of the past,
just let it go~

don't look back.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come

-2 Corinthians 5:17-

i'm able to write this because i am the one who is going through this..
you may find me rarely talk about my sadness or pain here..
coz i always kept them..

for me, it doesn't matter..
i want to encourage, not discourage..
it's only when God has turned my hurts into joy,
it becomes my life testimony..

now i'm learning to let go of the past..
the immature sides of me.
things that are isn't right, getting me to know where, only will bring destructions to me if i carry on..
i need to get rid of them before they destroy my life.

the things that needed to be deleted away~
must be done.


& behold, a new life has begin!^^
i wanna live for His glory..even more!
it's never too late to start anew again..

i am.

how about you??
you can never do this alone..
you need SOMEONE.
the MIGHTY ONE.

The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.

-Exodus 15:2-

remember, there's no mountain that can't be removed..
not by your hands, but His hands..
rely on His strength~

let Him hold your hands,
& remove together.

God bless.

our memories~

911
*9 november*
it's her birthday!

just wanna roughly blog about her simple birthday celebration at church today..

yeah, chocolate cake!

that's the hardest chocolate cake ever~
*maybe because it has been put into the refrigerator for some time..*
why??
coz during the cake-cutting process, the plastic knife broke into two~o.O

i went to the pantry to look for a knife..
only this could be found. O.O"

okie, that sounds like she's going to "chop" the cake instead of cutting the cake..
*aiks*

feeding her a strawberry. xD

the "chopped" cake. lolz~
thanks to aaron who helped to "chop" the cake. xD

yeah, a special piece for the birthday girl~

actually there's a short video of this..

but my camera's memory full when half way singing the birthday song...*ish* =(

hmm..miracle enjoy eating the cake too!


hmm..come back to the title of this post:

"our memories~"
yeah, this post is special because i'm going to blog about some of our memories..
*those i remembered la* =P

let's start with a conversation...

anonymous: what is your name?
mui mui: wai han =)
anonymous: and you?
me: wai chi =)
anonymous: oh, both of you are sisters?
me & mui mui: nope
haha..this is the most common conversation that we will go through whenever there are people asking for our names.
people often relate us as sisters because we always hang out together & stick around with each other like a pair of chopsticks.
haha reminds me of someone saying this peribahasa

"di mana ada wai han, di situ ada wai chi"

*original is di mana ada kemahuan, di situ ada jalan*

well, we may not be real sisters but i really treat her like my real sis. she's my sis in christ. my kai mui.
^^

talk a bit about the history of this friendship..
it started in year 2001 in Pudu English Girl School (PESS)
aka
SMK Perempuan Pudu

both of us are in the same class - form 1 melur
in the beginning, i don't know her..
but somehow, she caught my attention & i really wanted to know her..
that time she's in her short hair, short, small sized, smart, very cute la~ xD

able to know her as a friend really makes me happy.
it's even greater when she became my godsis in that very same year..

we used to spend time together..we played games like tali getah, batu seremban & so on..
during the rain, we sailed boats at the longkang beside our class..
we also cabut rumput while chatting~xD
we also compete in our studies..
i think the only time i could beat her scores was in form one in some ujian bulanan..
ahh..she's a smart girl. =D


in form 2, we were in different class..=(
hehe i still remember the first time i learnt to go shopping aka lan kai was with her. xD
the very first time we took bus together & went to a shopping mall~
*after i learnt how to take a bus la*

the first place we went was leisure mall..*ahh..memories. first meeting place.haha..*
then maluri jusco..

these two places always repeated.
then we slowly upgrade to sg.wang..lolz.
that's how our lepak history began..*haha!*


in form 3, we were in the same class again but we seperated in form 4 & 5
when i decided to go for art stream instead of science stream..

oh well, there are times we were very close in our friendship..there are also times we were not so close. but thank God for His grace that our friendship maintained until today. =D

there are really a lot of wonderful memories during highschool..
the happy ones are certainly more than the sad ones.
if you want to know how many times we argued or got angry with each other,
as far as i could remembered, it's only ONCE~ o.O



last time, before our technology became so advance like today *no handphone, etc*
we used to write letters..
yeah, i love to write letters.^^

imagine that, in the same school, we wrote letters to each other..how funny. xD
it's like chatting with each other through papers..
then we like to stick stickers all around. =P

there were times i made breakfast for her. haha..
just some simple sandwiches, bread pizza. etc..

hmm..let me think whether we got joined in the same society or not..
yeah, chess club~
waa~played chess with her 100 times, 100 times i also sure lose wan.
this girl pro-chess~xD

lembaga sidang pengarang / editorial board..
during form 5 i became the secretary & she's the...i forgot. hehehe.. xP

rumah sukan..nothing to say. we were from different house..
she's in vandort & i'm in gagebrown..*tree colour?*

last time we like to take da tou tie photos~ now seldom already. haha..
kinda miss it.

i think it was in form 3 i invited her to my youth bbq outing..& also ice skating*together with adeline & eliza*.
that's how she got connected with my church.=)
she also joined our school's christian fellowship*though i'm not part of the cf*
then, she accepted Jesus as her Saviour during form 5.=D

in that same year 2005, i invited her to my church to witness my baptism during christmas
i also invited her to join us for the thanksgiving night celebration & countdown for year 2006..
i still remembered that we ran from church to sg wang plaza for the countdown after the thanksgiving night..haha..

yeah, in year 2006 she started to attend first assembly of God church together with me..
there, our friendship grows deeper even after form 5~
i was able to meet her every week! hehee..=P

through these years..
from year 2006 - 2009,
we've gone through, learnt & did many things together..

all the events we attended like..

valentines day~
christmas celebrations~
church anniversaries~
youth events & outings~
festival celebrations~
etc




i think she's my only schoolmate who has the latest updates of my life..
how i've changed..
even my hairstyle. haha..
=P


*see me poking a balloon that contained flour on top of her*

ngaaaaum~! ;D

we could see the changes in each other year by year~

*miss her round specs~*8D

i could see that she has grow up a lot..
not only in her knowledge but also in her spiritual walk & faith in God..
how God slowly raising her up as a leader.=)

the happiest thing that happened this year was that i am able to witness her baptism as well!
*congrats dear!*

when i look at some of the old pictures of our youth group,
i realised we always stand next to each other..o.O



now not really already lo i guess...
she very independent already~ xD

*joking* =P

really thank God for her..
she has been a very good friend to me..
giving me her prayers & support..
being a good company..

in YES 08

most importantly, she always listen to me when i got a lot to talk~ xD

it's our tradition to celebrate our birthday with each other..
what's in our tradition?
a gift & a treat


every year since form 1, i'll make her a handmade card~
& also a "dog-gift"..*why dog? i also forgot..*
& some other handmade gifts..as her birthday or christmas gift..

like these DIY necklaces. =)


dear wai han,
thank you so much for everything~
i'm glad to know you as my friend & my chopstick sis~xD

then we headed back to kindergarten..


overall, it's a fun outing..
there's not much to visit at KL Tower*seriously*
but the kids just enjoyed it~
especially the jungle trekking!
it's a new exposure to them..
climbed stairs..
walked at steep roadways..
crossed bridges..
getting mosquito bites..
haha.
it's a bit dangerous also as some places are really steep..
kinda worry that they would accidently slipped & fell down.
gosh, i do wish that nothing would happened to the kids during that time..
rather i myself fell down than them. O.O
anyways, i did slipped a little~ =P

haha..it's still a safe & interesting outing.
extra careful will do. :)
