... is Him.

I wouldn't say I have no idea how I survived the past few months with the crazy schedule at work and in church but I know that the strength came from my God. We've been working on the album since February this year and finally launched it on 29th Aug during my church's 50th Anniversary. I'd say the support we've got was simply amazing!

The entire journey of recording this album has strengthened my faith in the reality of Christ... It has pushed me beyond what I 'think' I can do and cannot do, especially in song writing and singing. Recording this album has showed me that God uses the weak too. 5 of us had no experiences nor a have we attended any lessons but the album turned out nice and I give all glory to God!

The journey of recording the album was so wonderful because God revealed Himself so many times.
The album cover design was submitted to me by Mr Liang, Joanne who never saw it also showed me and the designs both bring the same meaning. How awesome is that? There were many more incidences where we knew very clearly that it was God who spoke.

There were also times when we forget to pray before we start recording and the music recorded that particular night went to waste coz it just didn't sound good no matter how many times we've tried to record. This reminds me that committing everything to God before we do anything is the utmost important thing. We learned our lesson and from that day on, we never missed praying.

Just last week when we were practicing in SAND band, God spoke and both Sean and I were very encouraged. It was said that the song we wrote (Freedom) will be sung by many youths and will be used in many churches. It will be 'the' song for this season. I am in awe. Never have I ever thought that a song written by a group of inexperienced people could touch so many hearts. This shows clearly that it is not how good of a composer you are, but whether how anointed the song is. I am so humbled and grateful that God chose us.

So this is how the album looks like, it has 7 songs, all written and produced by 5 of us with God's grace.

Today is, surprisingly, few of the days where I actually FEEEEL loved. Loved by a super awesome Almighty God, loved by my parents, loved by my partner and loved by my friends and colleagues. I am reminded about this nice feeling because of very simple things that happened throughout these months, weeks and days. I've not been in the best attitude and mood but people around me still chose to love me, chose to forgive me. That's really the best feeling ever!

Hello there! So I just changed my blog title to something that I believe in. I believe that I am living a good life. I have everything I need, what is there to complain about? Really. Life couldn't be better. But at work today, I felt a lot more demotivated than previous weeks. Many things happened the past month and most of them are quite negative, I'd say. I especially cannot tolerate seeing my fellow colleague being bullied. And this made me think twice about staying. I used to look forward to work everyday. And I really enjoy the things I do here. I bet it's really difficult to find this kinda employee anymore. That's me!

To take this joy of working from me hor, really requires a lot of annoyance one and I think it's gonna reach my limit real soon. I never wanted to blog about this because I have always believed in sharing the positive and I wanted to keep this low key coz not good la talk bad about my work place which I love so much. But really, I gotta let people know that everyone struggles in a way or another. THIS WORK STRESS THING IS REAL!!!

So now I want to remind myself and others, to keep these words in mind... "I am blessed, I am favoured."

It's me and Mr, Wong

My Christmas gift from Mr. Wong :)

It was like a normal day at work today, actually it was more fun than usual because I was putting up a 'wish' tree which is exactly a Christmas tree. So the whole morning I was at the lobby and setting up the tree. Suddenly, one of my colleagues (there were a few of them there) who were looking at us from afar called my name. As I turned, he said "Sheryn! Sam wanna talk to you." and I asked what is it about and he then said "Sam asked why the hell are you so fat?" and then they laughed. The person who called me was David. And trust me, I don't even know them well at all. I have been working here for about 1 year plus now and the amount of words exchanged can actually be counted. The point is if my bff were to say that to me, I don't mind. If my bf were to say that to me, I actually don't mind. BUT it was them who were almost strangers, whom I don't even talk to who said such hurtful and insensitive words. They thought it was funny. Well no. It wasn't. 

The past 2 months have been insanely horrible for me. Well, not exactly the whole of 2 months but  almost. I kept getting into accidents. Car accidents, falls, knocks, car problems etc. First was, I knocked someone's car from the back. That was because I was putting on my lipstick on the way to work and my eyes were fixed on the rear mirror, thinking the car in front of me started moving, I drove and knocked her. Thankful that she was a nice and polite lady and we exchanged numbers and then got everything fixed asap. Total cost was RM250. So settled.

Second was, 2 weeks after the car accident, my car tyre punctured. I was rushing to church that Sunday morning and my tyre was already flattened. Got it fixed after a few days with bf's help. Total cost was RM10. Settled.

Third, 2 weeks after the flat tyre, I experienced a fall. went to bf's sister's house, her dog ran out and I chased thinking that she will get hurt by other dogs coz she super tiny. Didn't see a puddle of water (leaked from the ceiling) and I slipped while running and i fell. Hit the left part of my body and got bruised. Left chest was in severe pain but after a few days and med I recovered from the aches. Settled.

Fourth was, on a Sunday morning when I was going to church, I saw a flat tyre. AGAIN!!! You don't know what sorta feelings I had inside. The anger would easily kill 10000 men! So yeah my dad helped me fix this time and found that there was a nail in my tyre. Ok, settled.

Now, fifth, I was driving back from work on a Wednesday night. driving pass my usual route. Suddenly a car from the left junction just decided to turn out. I couldn't brake in time and I went straight to the car. I knocked my chest on the steering wheel, thank God no big injury. But her car was wrecked badly until it couldn't move. mine was also quite bad. The accident caused the entire road to be jam and I was stuck there for more than an hour. This time, it's clearly not my fault at all. I was focused on driving. I did the best I could. If I were to avoid her, I'd go head on with the cars on the opposite lane. So yeah after 3 weeks only managed to send my car to the workshop because of all the procedures. *SIGH*

Yes, I went through a lot and it felt like hell, well at least for me. I was a bit angered that I had to go through these. But come to think of it, I think those experiences could actually help me in the future, I mean next time when things like that happen, I'd know what to do. And apart from this, I made a new friend from my fifth experience! How great is that?!

I think if I wasn't grateful and if I was only questioning God on how He would allow me to go through such situations, I'd probably be very angry inside. But because I was able to see the good in the bad, it's actually okay la, not that bad... However now that my car is in the workshop, (and it will be there for LONG.) my parents had to sacrifice the new car for me to use and they take the old one. Honestly everyday I feel so thankful that my parents are so sacrificial...

See! When I begin to be thankful in bad situations, eventually the situation won't be too bad one lah. So anyone reading this, remember to stay positive, be thankful even when life gives you poop.

Thank you for reading!
