Amy’s Journal

Get to talk to my parents about my passion. i was glad tat i manage to let it out and express it out especially to my mom. I got her permission to go on DOULOS for three months, at least. Wanted to go for one full year, but she said no…:(.. but im thankful. one step at a time…:)…

well, i actually got it cuz i trade it with my graduation present. my parents actually offering me a trip to England to visit my aunt for a month. been wanting to go there as well. it has been a hard decision for me though. but i’ve made up my mind, and i choose to go for the three months mission exposure after i finish my studies end of next year. but it’s still early to say… haven’t really apply for that yet. but im praying and looking forward for that.

at least i got my parents blessing and they’re gonna sponsor me… :)… yay…gearing up for that and i have another year to go.

Quite hesitated to make decisions at first. here are some of the reasons
England’s Pros:
1. get to spend time with family
2. being with someone’s familiar
3. been wanted to go there
4. at least i can tell someone i’ve been there n visit the places there
5. my aunt would most likely took care of everything, food, lodging……
6. been wanting to go there ever since

England’s Cons:
-none-

DOULOS Pros:
1. whole new experience living in the ship for three months
2. get to travel around
3. have been wanting to this since i was 9
4. as an exposure to myself on what mission is about
5. part of my life’s goal.. hehe

DOULOS Cons:
1. out of my comfort zone
2. need to work and pay to work but not getting paid(as in you need to work in the ship)
3. not sure whether i’ll get sea sick
4. places i’ll be travelling may not be as "wow" as England

well, it took me guts to tell my mom about the decision i;ve made. i was making a trade of a lifetime. n im settled with it. though as u see, there are so many cons for goin on that mission and i cant find any if i were to go for the holiday trip. logicaaly speaking, i shud be choosing to go to England instead.

hope that i’ll keep this strong though. still struggling cuz decision can be changed and randomize due to many aspects. im praying and will be praying hard. any of u interested to come with me? Celine? wanna come? i know u’ll be reading……hehe..if i could get a company, it’ll be most likely i wont change my mind. hehehe…but let’s not make this the reason im goin as well.. hehehe….

Prepare me Lord,
Amy

Working Life…. Office Life……. Hmmm…. not as cool as i imagine. everyday need to wake up early. honestly, im not really a morning person. so have to bear the fact that i have not enjoyed my sleep for the pass 3 weeks. waking up everyday early. Tomorrow is Saturday. This will be my first time to appreciate my weekends. Now i understand all the Monday’s Blues and Friday’s Party…..

Cause most of my lifetime, i more packed during my weekends. I enjoyed it… but it;s not as busy as my weekdays. It’s during my weekends that sometimes i have to wake up earlier than my weekdays. 2days vs. 5days and now is vice versa.

People at work is rather nice. I had the advantage cuz im going to work with my DAD! Well, people treat me nice i guess. At least i have my dad around to help me to get to know ppl. And some of the staffs i knew them since young. should i stop calling them ‘uncle’ ? ‘aunty’? or should set a professional standard, Miss, Mdm. Sir… Imagine calling my dad Sir…. hehehe

Well, Joshua was right about the attire though. No need to wear so smart. You are working as an engineer trainee and you are bound to go out. so no need to wear formal or high heels. even the regional manager (RM) says i can wear anything casual. cool.

Well this month im under customer service. been sitting in the office trying to finish up the reports for the meter jammed report and calculate power consumption. i might just copy and paste my report journal here la.. malas wanna rewrite things.

Coming back….. i haven’t been spending much except for paying my brother RM10 for a RM2 burger. Not McD cheeseburger…. tepi jalan punya. Just wanna give him some incentive. tat’s all.. This is the PRIVILEGE, YOU CAN SAVE MONEY. and also you get to spent time with your parents. snuggled with them on bed… im ’snuglish’… hahhaa….
Home……………..
Hello Town……….
Peaceful………….
Quiet……………..
Settled…………..
I miss Miri I guess….. I miss the people. I miss EYM. I miss VCF….I miss Kai Ye and Kai Ma… I miss Celine (Shud i call her jie jie??), Nick Ko Ko, Adeline Jie Jie and Vinna Jie Jie, Joy Mui Mui…..I miss the cats…..  I miss dancing…… oh ya did i mentioned, my ankle still hurts if i tersalah move my leg?……

One question that i couldnt run away from everytime i come back. Got boyfriend ordy? Almost everyone i met back home ask me the question over and over and over again. I dun mind them asking… but… it’s like people are expecting me to be with someone at this moment. Apa boleh buat? I let the ‘fish’ go ordy. Im not regretting or anything. just couldnt believe that people has such expectation on me. Am i on a hunt now? NO……… time is not right.

When people ask, i thought u had a boyfriend before? Pastor’s son? How come break up again?…. aduh… this is a small town. everyone knows everyone’s business. so have to answer lorr…. cant put them off. well these people who asked me are not strangers. These are the aunties and the uncles that known me for years and watch me grown. So, yeah… If im with someone pun, they’ll be asking….. when are u getting married? enganged???? My bulu roma all meremang ordy…….

i’ve also been eating Kampua everyday for breakfast with my dad and mom…… aduh.. lejuk ordy.

Adios and good nite,
Amy

hehe… after all the purpose for me blogging is for me to remember stuffs happening. consider it has my second journal. the first journal would be private and hanya untuk tontonan persendirian sahaja ;)..

ok stop fooling around… 3 major things i wanna SHARE…
1. Relentless!!!
2. Holiday Trip!
3. Industrial Training…..
but i don’ t think i;ll share it in details… too much of details nowadays.. very tiring…

Relentless…
Although tired… still relentlessly running after the King of kings. The funny thing is the role that im choosing this time is quite heavy for me. and very very time consuming. but i do thank God that my exam schedule ended earlier than it suppose to be.

I need to choreograph with the dancers for the worship songs, that requires me lots and lots of time of practices. the girls and i had a fun time though. we had sleepovers and we cooked too. great time spending with them. felt like their mama, taking care of their sleep and food.. hehe…
Registration was under me as well… not much time consumed but need to prepare too.. thanks to Oguchi, Alvin and Cheryl for helping me out. You guys did a great job. Not to forget Valerie and Jonathan was there too… thanks u guys… muakzzzzzzz!!!!
Then, i have to jaga the money as well…..need to close the account before the i left for my holidays….
So, im busy before, during and after relentless…… hahah… wat a good choice.

NONETHELESS, GOD WAS AWESOME!He presence was so real. In spite of the things we faced before relentless, He can still work in us as long as we have our heart set right before Him. We faced so much challenges. Individually and also as a group. Only God knows what we have been through and He pulled us through it every single time without fail. R.E.L.E.N.T.L.E.S.S…. FOR JESUS!!!

Time for holidayyyyyy….
After clearing all my stuff and packed… finally i had a good sleep for at least 6 hours before my flight. i was actually looking forward of spending a night to celine though. but i was too tired and so was she. so the next morning, she send me to airport. but don;t really spend much time alone with her oso.. she’s busy parking her car.
And I met pr. Nirhal!!! yay….. at least i have someone to go on board with. Oh ya… some strangers came to me and asked me to be the guardian of someone underage. (i didnt know that underage cannot travel alone..) i was quite hesitate to say yes.. but i did

She was quite sweet and it was her first time flying. Her name was Wan. So I sat with Pr. Nirhal and Wan in the plane. She was rather quiet though. or maybe because most of the time i was talking to Pr. Nirhal. And i never thought that our conversation will be about our ‘love life’.. hahhaa… and yet he’s the one that started the conversation and told me about it… oops… im not suppose to tell…. SHHHH.. >.<.. hehe.. it started of with him teasing me with the air steward…. ah…. malunya..

we landed, i had to rushed to catch the bus to KL Sentral to meet my dear-friend-future-bridesmaid. hehe… then we went off straight to Puduraya to take bus to Penang… by the time reach there it’s already around 8.30pm and we used taxi to Pr. Melai’s house. and a very very good rest.

the next day woke up early.. but Joshua couldnt make it on time as usual… hehe… places that we went
- FGA Centre, Penang
-Kek Lok Si Temple… i think… only the compound.. then we went up to
-Penang Water Reservoir…i dunno wat is it called ordy
-Lunch at New World Food Court and had Penang Kue Tiaw….. Even the kueh tiaw in JingWood is so much nicer than this….
-Toy Museum..i met all my superheroes… so cool..
-Butterfly Park….. Amanda should come.. she’ll love it..
-Hotel visits… some beach lepaking
-Dinner at Ananda.. had Banana Rice.. tat;s wat they call it…
-Shopping at…. some where… i forgot the place. definately not Queen’s Bay or BJ

Second day, Liley couldnt come…. We went to
- War Museum
- Fort Cornelius…. i think tat’s the name.. lazy to check out
- Lunch, we had fish ball noodle.. and banana pancake.. best food i tasted in Penang!
- Ferry ride
- Food hunt…. tapi tak jadi go to the place we suppose to go
- Botanical Garden… pick Liley up ordy..
- Dinner at TGIF… perut mauk pecah.. oh ya.. Johnathan Choo joined us..

Third day.. travel back to KL…if i knew i could meet my sister, i would stay another day in penang to taste the real penang laksa and go the Penang Hill…it;s all because of miscommunication and stupid arragement. was quite mad with my sister. it’s because of her i went down to kl one day earlier.. to meet her.. but she couldn’t meet me……quite pissed off….
ok reached KL… wat u gonna do there besides shopping…? the night we arrived, we jalan at The Mall…. remember my post with my family in KL during CNY? we stayed at the same place… bought a few things there and  i had an eye test…. my eyes were perfectly fine. but i doubt it….

Second day… went to Bintang Walk to meet my sister.. suppose to meet her around 1pm but she’s still sleeping!!! she had to work at 3…. malas la wanna wait for her. so i went to Mid Valley and we watched ENCHANTED. caught up moment in the fantasy world..hehehe… quite nice la.. funny….then went shopping till night..

NExt day… MELAKA!!!!!!! yay!
met Ah Kiik’s fren….. Peter Lee and Ah Wah….. Funny guys…… hahaha…Cantonese said "tayar PANCIT"  as "PONCETTTTTT…. " Liley and I was laughing our heads off.. in foochow is "PANCET"… it’s weird to listen to other ppl’s dialect. the advantage is that we understand them but they dun understand us…
And who says Sarawakian dunno anything.. most of the West Malaysians never took a plan before and the always thought that Sarawakian lives on stilt houses with chicken and ducks running around. We are more exposed k? They are the "katak the bawah tempurung!" they are the frog..

we went to
- Zoo Melaka
- Jonker Street
- Churches…..
Sunday.. fly back….

Monday… Work…..

Lazy to type ordy.. nt suppose to be detail..but some were quite detail.. malas la… thanks for reading…..

Been in front of the computer the whole day,
