Meanwhile, at the back seat, thrilled coz we were about to reach

My Bee Hoon soup

Our happy and excited faces right after we had reached the Kuala Besut jetty area

So after lunch we headed straight to the pier to catch our boat ride. We needed to pay RM5 for the Marine Conservation purpose, which I find, not that bad at all coz the water was nice, means the 5 bucks was worth it la.. Usually you need to arrange for the boat rides few days before, which I forgot and I called the hotel one day before to book but was too late so they gave me Kak Ani's number. I called Kak Ani, Kuala Besut Travel & Tours to arrange for our boat rides. Before we went I checked many times on the websites and on every page states RM70 per way. So we were quite prepared to spend over 100 bucks only for the boat ride. To my surprise, Kak Ani was so kind to give us I-don't-know-what -sorta discount, so per person, for a return ticket only cost RM60!! How?? Ask God, He must be the one behind this! :P And she is also a really, really helpful person. We sort of got lost (minor ones) and she managed to send someone to get us. God sent!

The boys worked really hard to make sure I sleep well :')

Wheee how I wish my camera could capture the clarity of the water

What's beneath the` water..? Testing the water before jumping in

to have to remain positive all the time.

Got home later than usual today with full bladder, empty tummy, tired mind & body, DYSFUNCTIONAL LIFTS (which was ok after 15 minutes of waiting). Happy that I came home to homecooked dinner by Mum.. We haven't really had dinner at the same table (at home) for a really long time.

However, they'd finished eating and were looking at me eat while chatting away. Mum was mentioning about a job opportunity which she thinks I'd be interested in (which I am).. And then I told her how much I'd like to work in that line. And she suddenly said this, "you can meh? Your English so cha." so usually I'd be crushed on the spot but I didn't. I remained calm. And then she continues, "if you're good, it will catch my attention when I read your essays, which it didn't." So I just say what I usually say "you are always negative about me.." And she added, "you want me to lie to you ah?" So that completely SHUT me up. I was really hurt and speechless. I didn't even bother to reply her. I went off, washed the dishes and went into my room. I'm just really, really sad that I seem to be never good enough for her (not sure about my dad coz he just never comments). I cried. I don't remember how many times this same incident (same words, same message, negativity) happened but they are uncountable. I grew up with compliments from outsider but seldom from the people whom I hold close to me. I just had to live with it. And every time when I bring this (my feelings) up, Mum would say that I am too sensitive.

I went to the toilet, still thinking of the negatives spoken to me and suddenly recalled a story shared by someone whom I admire.

A story of how she GREW OUT of the really awful stuff her mum said and made her believe that she was all bad. Because she knew they weren't true, she knew she has so much of good about herself and that was because she had finally understood how much effort God puts in creating her and how God thinks of her, it made me feel so much better. And then I am reminded again that I am wonderfully made. THANK GOD for letting me remember so well!

Whatever drama that was happening up there didn't only happen because my "English isn't good" okay... but many other things I wouldn't want to mention here (in case I suddenly appear to be a drama queen to you).

So ya, now that I got myself back up again, I'd like to say to many other people who are always hearing negatives from your loved ones, LET IT GO! Keep the good, throw the bad. Never believe that you are stupid, ugly, etc. But remember, there's a fine line between negative comments (that destroy you) and constructive criticisms (that grow you). All the best!

It's either you believe in the negatives and mourn all day or you LET IT GO and believe you are BETTER than that.

Life's gonna be better tomorrow! Goodnight!

So I just went on a 3-days trip to Kuala Lumpur. I was pretty excited over this trip because, first, I was gonna meet Jesus Culture, second, I was gonna drive there, third, the thought of having a getaway! So I started the journey with 3 other amazing people. We left Penang about 6:15am coz we wanted to have breakfast at Foh San Dim Sum in Ipoh. Reached Ipoh at around 8:00am and found out Foh San closes on Tuesdays. #!@&^%# . Yes, that was the look on our faces. Haha!! So we opt for another place which I had forgotten the name. They also serve dim sum. Not as good and super pricey coz clearly they knew we were not locals... Sad... So after breaky we continued our journey. Reached KL, rested a lil' while and then shopped a lil' while and then off to City Harvest Church KL for JESUS CULTURE concert!

The Experience
To be honest, I did not expect much from the concert or maybe I didn't know what to expect. All I knew was that I was gonna meet them face to face! So we reached there quite early and then found out that we were on the PRIORITY list and that we were going into the hall before others. That really made me feel so special :) So we went in like 30 minutes before the concert started and that 30 minutes did feel a little longer than usual. Haha. So yea, the band came out, led a few songs and then the band director came up to share. Banning Liebscher is his name. His sharing was really powerful. It was very subtly powerful. Some points that I still remember up till now is:
1. We are all called by God but only few are chosen. The chosen ones are the ones who respond to the calling.
2. We all ought to seek God and he loves to be found by us. This is illustrated by the Hide 'n' Seek game where Banning would purposely stick his foot out so that his kids would FIND him. He was mentioning that God is already sticking His foot out for us to find Him. WOW! Just WOW!

After the sharing, the band continued to lead us into worship. I was told Kim Walker wasn't feeling very well so she didn't sing much that night, which was fine but that's not the point. Haha so the night ended with a silent 'moment'. It was not JUST ANOTHER MOMENT OF SILENCE. That moment was God-moment. It was spirit filled moment. Tears streamed down my face. I could hear people in the hall sobbing. I knew that the Holy Spirit was just touching each one. I haven't felt this in a long, long time. And at that time, no one was singing, no one was speaking. It was literally just the synthesizer and God was moving so tangibly. What a way to end the night- with God. I left the place feeling different. It was such a refreshing time I had there. It was AMAZING!

Here are some shots I got that night:

We were taking pictures of the screen before the team came out...

Here's Banning Liebscher sharing his heart

View from the back.Hands were lifted up to praise our one and only awesome God! Beautiful!

This was us after the concert! Happy faces!

With Mei Ling before the the whole thing started.

After the concert we were just sitting down, chit chatting about every little thing like the sound and lighting and how great God's presence was... and ....suddenly Sean spotted them!

Only half of the band here but who cares?!

Acting silly. No. Actually just looking at somewhere else. :P

Paperplane Pursuit is one of a few Malaysian bands who makes really good music. When we approached them, they were like "how did you guys know about us?" Now, that's really funny coz they didn't know they were famous? So humble! So here's one of my favs:



And so the next 2 days were filled with shopping and walking, mostly.
Went to a few malls which I totally adore. It feels really different there. I felt like a village girl walking into a city. That's sad righttt?? However, I was super happy that I got to watch a fashion show by SEED. Saw so many local celebs and famous people whom I only got to see in TV and magazines! Psyched! Pictures below:

SEED's spring/summer collection 2014.

I. saw. Gillian. Hung. OMG!! I've always saw her only in Mags or in the TV. She's an icon! We, Malaysians need to see how our own people can be so super successful and not criticize or leave the country.
