My Notebook : A Walk to Remember

I’m smiling from cheek to cheek coz i went for spa indulgence just now *yippie yay yay*.  I took so long to claim my belated birthday spa gift!  Neway, i am feeling extremely delighted despite knowing tomorrow is monday

Neway someone dear said this to me last night ”Set a target and achieve it, Lydia!”. Somehow his words penetrated deep into my soul. His words are gold as he seldom speaks but when he speaks, i know he truly cares When i tried pulling his legs, he spoke more golden words again. “Lydia, focus on what you can control and the rest surrender it to God. Don’t pressure yourself into unnecessary things”. Amen

I’m going off now. My bed is calling my name now I pray for a productive week ahead with loads of networking and closing of deals Amen!

I duuno why but for some weird reason, i have this thought “I will not marry someone unless i am super duper duper triple quadruple in love with that person!”. Just the other day whilst i was bringing snowy for a walk in the park, i saw an elderly couple holding hands strolling down the park. To me its one of the most romantic sight ever! I mean after all those jubilee yearss!!! You’re still in love with the same person you met 50years ago. How awesome is it right? I just marvel upon love…. especially….

In healthy and sickness…
Through thick and thin…
Through rich and poor…
Through better or worst…

One day I want to say this to my husband, “I love you and those three words are my faith, my commitment and my life to you!”

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

It was lena’s bday yesterday, 5th November 2009. We had dinner together with a bunch of  people. Had her favourite food; banana leaf rice in Bangsar! We had so much fun laughing and talking. It feels like a gathering!! Oh, we had an opportunity to meet two couch surfers; one from spain and the other from venuezela. The venuezelan guy really looks like Madonna’s current brazilian model bf. Gosh!! Si beh lengcai!! Right lena? LOL!!!

Right after dinner, we adjourned to delicious for some heart to heart talk. It was fun talking about just life and people.

Today lena celebrated 27 years of her life, and today it gives me a new conviction…. there are many beautiful things in life, if only we care to notice and cherish

I feel so good, fresh and revived for some reasons! I think its about time i spend sometime with my Abba Father!  

Neway….

Happy Birthday Lena

May the Lord continue to bless you in every area of your life especially your future coming dream come true plans. Thank you for being such an awesome gym buddy and friend to me! All da best!! Oh, thanks for dinner too

I am feeling uber lazy!!!!!!! Sei mou, i dont feel like going for rpm leh…. Dim shuen hou? Hai!!!! I think i am pms-ing very badly….Yesterday i felt so damn happy and hyper but today i’m feeling the opposite

I need to go against my feeling today! RPM RPM RPM RPM!!! Here i come!!!

I decided to skip rpm coz I’m really tired. I’ve been lacking sleep for the past few days. Did i mention my trip down to melaka with Jenz, Hanz, Sunz, Charles, Charmaine, Irwin, Charm, Koonz and HB was awesome! I had my usual popiah, wan tan mee, fried oyster, cendol, and chicken rice balls Yumzz yumzzz!!!

I’m inspired by Grace’s latest entry! Here it goes….

“We watched a brilliant movie Jennifer Lopez starred in – ‘An Unfinished Life’ – and identified 3 main ways people deal with their pasts. Some, like Mitch Bradley, realize that accidents can happen to anyone and everyone can make mistakes, so they forgive those who trespass against them, forgive themselves and move on. The second group of people, like Einer, cannot come to terms with the mistakes they made, or how others let them down – they harbour anger, bitterness and resentment for many years, not realizing that the only people they poison are… themselves. Furthemore, many of these live lives of regret and in loneliness because they won’t let anybody help them. The third group of people, like Jean Gilkyson, numb themselves by repressing their real emotional response to the catastrophy and attempt to move on. These tend to find ways of escape, replacement for the loss and new things to make up for the old – regardless of how difficult it may be and how they may sometimes find the wrong things to fill up that void”

If there is one blog i strongly recommend, it will definitely be grace’s blog! Amazing stuffs, so much to learn from her An inspiring writer, a conqueror and a great woman of God! I’m constantly humbled by her! Way to go, grace!

Neway, mom replied my email this afternoon. I felt like crying after reading it. I’m glad we reconciled Mom said something which made me feel very much ashamed of myself, “Never question my love for you because a mother’s love never fails”. I’m glad we are in the same boat; wanting to learn and perfect the love we have for each other. I thank God for His grace, I thank God when we fall, He is there to pick us up and renew our love for each other. I praise God because He has helped me so much through the past few years of my relationship with mom. From the worst nightmare to a dream come true, i can only credit it to Jesus my savior

It’s an early night for me! Hitting the sack soon! I have tonnes of work to do! Good night, world!

XOXO!!!!

I’m a very blessed child, that i’m very much thankful and grateful for!

Last night before bed, i went to mom’s room just to have a small chat after our very much tensed discussion on Monday night. I’m glad she’s alright now and i followed up with an email this morning. I know my mother loves me and likewise i love her very much. Just that we get into each other’s nerves once a while. We have come along way and i’m glad each day, we learn to perfect the love we have for each other.

Mom, thank you and i love you!

I woke up at 5.45 am this morning to attend Business Network International, an organization aims to expand networks for business owners. Not too bad, i like the group and i’m still contemplating whether or not to join. I need to pay a certain annual fee to be a member. Quite interesting philosophy and wide span of contacts there The only i dread is to wake up every tuesday morning for their meetings IF i decide to join them

Came back office around 9.45am! Decided to blog! Few minutes ago, alex shared with me his new blog entry. This brother has inspired me so many times and his love for God remains steadfast and consistent. Thanks for sharing, alex You’ve shown me a great deal what it takes to be an ambassador of Christ. I like what he say “it takes faith to start, faithfulness to complete”. Amazing stuffs!

Lord, thank you for answering my prayer so fast! You are just simply magnifient!

Oh, my dear friend, Ronson was admitted to SJMC due to feet infection. Please pray for speedy recovery! Hope all is well! Huggies!!

I’m counting down the days till i see my besty once again…. He’ll be coming back from Ireland!! Yippie yay yay!!!

Last night was a confession night, i’m glad i conveyed my message well across although my mom did not respond positively. I know she’s hurt by the truth of how i felt about certain things but i know in order to strengthen our relationship, there is a need for confession and correction. I’m not hoping to change my mother because i know thats the work of the Holy Spirit. I’m learning to love like christ did…. Unconditional…

Despite feeling what i’m feeling, i choose to love her… UN-conditionally…..

It’s not easy when one’s love is not reciprocal. It’s not easy not to place ANY expectations whatmore basics.

Lord, teach me to love like you do, unconditionally…. just when we fail to recipocrate your love. Teach me how to love in spite of everything. Help me when i’m critical, judgemental, jealous, hurt, unfairness and hopelessness. Teach me how to respond with love and grace. If there is one person i want to learn how to love unconditionally, its gonna be my own mother whom i struggle with. You know how much i love her and forgive me when i’ve quarrelsome and unsettled spirit. In jesus name, Amen!

Thanks edmond for reminding me this today!

 ⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

It’s sooooo difficult to love someone unconditionally and today i am reminded to love like no one else could ever compare-Jesus! I am very very humbled. Thanks bro!

It’s 8pm FLYYYYYYYYDAY night and i’m still in office! I woke up at 7am this morning, went back to office at 7.30 am! Gosh….. I can’t wait for the coming weekend *grin grin grin*

It’s like yayyyyyy!! Can you hear my YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! I’m going for a short break with a few friends back to my hometown. Eating spree, non-stop karaoke and crazy times with these bunch of fun peeps!!!

Have a good blessed weekend people! MuakssS!!!

1. I am amongst the dying breed of women who can cook.
   Hey, some girls can sew, some girls can sing, I cook lah!! To me cooking is like super kacang putih. Even with minimal ingredients, i’ve the innate ability to cook something nice for people One of my dream is to pursue a culinary degree in Cordon Bleu Uni in France. I’m still brushing up my cooking skills! I think i inherit cooking genes from both my grandmas. They are awesome cooks!
2. I have an awesome sense of direction.
   I’m really really really good at directions till the extend my guy friends call me up whenever they need direction. One of them even named their GPS; Lydia! LOL! I think i’m better than loads of guys larr!! Right guys? Even when i was 6 yrs old, i could direct my uncle back to my hometown. If you don’t believe, can ask my parents! I thank God for such ability as it comes in handy in the business world!
3. I can manage a household pretty well.
   Due to my birth order (i’m the eldest) and the absence of my dad (he works outstation), i’ve learnt to run a family at a very young age. So managing a household is easier for me, doing things ranging from cooking, cleaning, paying bills, buying groceries, wet marketing, minor house repairs, gardening, driver cum nanny and the list continues.
4. I can take care of people pretty well.
   Due to my birth order as well (i strongly believe), i’ve learnt how to be a tai ka jie to my sisters. When they’re sick, i got to take them to doc, cook porridge for them, sayang sayang them a bit and pujuk them to eat medicine. Its my nature to care for people i love!
5. I love babies and children.
   I know how to entertain them. Bath them. Shower them. Clean them. Etc etc… And i mean babies as young as few days old
