i prepared myself and went for the Sacrament of Penitential..and, am glad that i'm given the chance to be renewed again and again.

how beautiful God is, that He will always forgive me, no matter what i do, and give me chance to stand up again, though i have fallen to the deepest and darkest pit.. that's His promise!
how great is God, that He will not remember those days, when i was the loser of all losers, the unclean, the biggest liar of truth..
how wonderful is God, that He accept me as who i am and love me, in regardless of what i've done.

HE is amazing!

i purposely when down town, at around 8:45pm, just to see who supported the campaign. a few buildings were dark,

1. wawasan plaza- parkson grand
2. waterfront
3. sacred heart cathedral
4. le meredien hotel
5. masjid likas (it was so dark, that i cant even see the masjid)
6. bangunan persekutuan, putrajaya
7. UMS
8. yayasan sabah
9. jesselton point
10. a few small restaurants

i'm not sure if the less carbon dioxide is release during that one hour period, because by lighting candle (as they suggested on 'things to do' list), more carbon dioxide will be produced. somehow, i believe, this campaign had managed to create awareness among the public of the climate change caused by the global warming, and something can be done to save the world. =)

i tried a few times, whereby the first attempt i managed to type 44 words per minute. then, when i try again and again (hehe..), i got this result twice..hmm..so i guess, in average, this might show the most real one. ;p

42 words

would you like to try too? click here

it's addictive and you will want to try again and again and again until you're satisfied with your speed..dont say i didnt warn you.. ok, maybe it's only me, hehe..

i've been restraining myself from meat (chicken, beef and pork) for almost a month, starting from Ash Wed. and i thank God that i'm able to go this far. i'm planning to fast for the whole 46 days, and i'm still praying for strength.

to be honest, it is not easy to sacrifice, for saying no to meat..for i'm a meat-lover.. hehe.
i've attended birthday dinner with eating only fried rice and vege where they served black pepper beef, thai chicken, chicken curry, etc..and, another, my cousin's birthday party had only mee goreng and fruit salad where my aunt cooked soto ayam, curry beef, curry chicken, chicken wings, satay, etc.. vege dinners where they had hong-bak, fried chicken, ayam masak kicap, ayam masak merah, char siu, fried vege with pork, sweet and sour pork, etc etc.. which sometimes i feel like giving in to those temptations..

but, i thank God, i'm still holding on my promise to Him, that i'm willing to sacrifice..i know it is Him who strengthens me..

finally, i have my own car =) and this means, with the small-and-cukup-makan income i got, i have loan to pay every month. fuel tank to fill. i no longer can spend on anything i want. i have to manage my finance properly..and be responsible..but, i will surely allocate some to pamper myself and to make me happy..

see..my fuel is almost empty..

mom, who will always buys the groceries and remind us of what to do or anything, is now busy in Membakut; dad is busy managing both kiosks; roddy is busy going out-stations and meetings, seldom at home; ben is in Membakut helping mom.. so, milia and i have to take care of the house..

i'm starting to feel the life of an adult..where i have to work to pay my loan, to pay for my insurance, to make sure there's enough food stock in the house, etc..

many things to think about..a lot..
this is LIFE and this is what i call RESPONSIBILITY..

Last Saturday, was a big day of the temple in Weston. it was the birthday of the god (Sin Kong Sin) in Weston temple. and all the representative from KK area, as far as Keningau came, to bring their god to pay their respect to Sin Kong Sin. it was a very good experience..


After the event, we planned to go back to KK at around 4pm. the sky was so dark. and actually we heard a lot of people complaining that they cannot pass through the road (if they come from KK/ Menumbok/Kuala Penyu) because of the flood. only big vehicles such as lorries and buses can go through.


somehow, we still try to go back. and if we really cant go through, we will turn back home. we have 3 cars wanting to go back to KK. one is Deche’s Honda CRV, one is Henry’s Toyota Vios and another one is Milia’s Suzuki Swift. Deche was in front and and he went through but he called and advised us not to go because with his car, which is slightly higher, the water level was half of its door..so, we have to go back Weston and decided, only to go to KK, early in the morning the next day..


We woke up early on Monday morning, but we got news from orang kampung that the water had rise until the waist level. and, that’s impossible for any ordinary car to go through, as it will destroy the car engine. so, I have to call to the office telling that I will have to take emergency leave. later in the evening, around 7pm, we asked the orang kampung again..they said the water has started to lowered, and we hope it will continue to lower until the next day. I have to get another emergency leave for our journey back to KK and luckily the company granted me compassionate leave, and considers it as natural disaster. =)


It was a real experience..and I’m so glad I got the chance to experience it..though I actually had headache, thinking of how we can go to KK. we even planned to go to Sipitang and take speedboat to Labuan..then, from Labuan, we take ferry back to KK. or another option is to drive from Weston-Tenom-Keningau-Tambunan-KK. somehow, the water level was not as high as the previous day and we saw Kelisa went through the water. every driver that managed to pass through had a proud smile on their faces as if they are the hero of the day. =)


after waiting for at least an hour, we got the news that Ko Tiew will be going to Beaufort too. so, we waited for him to arrive to pull us over to the other side, as his car is bigger and tougher. His 4WD will pull Henry’s Vios and Milia’s Swift. They are to on but not start the engine when they are in the water..this is to avoid the water going in to engine. and, once they arrive on the dry (no flood) land, they have to start the engine, so that they can hit the brake. Ah meng, Tuaci and I were at the back of Ko Tiew's 4WD. It was so adventurous. Heh. *proud*


Thank God, everything went well and smooth..when we reached Beaufort, we had our breakfast, then continue our journey back to KK. we arrive KK at around 10:40am and we still managed to enter the office for the 2nd half of the day.

geof & me

i have been waiting for that day for almost a week..huh, not so long after all.,.hehe..but, i've not been seeing geof for almost 1.5 years..we went for dinner in Warisan Square. Clare and i arrived there at around 6pm and waited for geof in Centre Point..then, it was 7:30pm, we walked to Warisan Square, geof was not there yet. We went to the Times and read books, and he's still not there..Grr..he arrived at around 8pm (because of the rain and traffic jams), but we still had a great dinner.

clare & geof

because geof was late, his punishment was to choose the place to eat. somehow, he thought it's the hardest decision to make because he dont know the other person might not like it. and in the end, we sit at Fish & Co (again..hehe) because that the only restaurant in front of our eyes. ;p

this is mine: new york fish & chips

it was a great reunion of 3. back then, in UKM, we (Clare, geof and i) always had our meals (breakfast/teatime/dinner/supper) together because we were staying in the same college, until me and Clare moved to Hentian Kajang..but, geof still visit us, especially on Fidays, where they have the best Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah and we get to choose the biggest chicken parts.. =)
there was once, we had KFC for our lunch in Hentian Kajang (KFC was the luxury meal, back then) and we almost finished the whole bottle of Thai Chilli sauce. Ahh~ those were the days..
