A Premiѐre Experience

1st of July 2013, my first day of internship, feeling alone, afraid and confuse. Wished to finish my 6 weeks of internship as soon as possible. But then, things seemed to be different as soon as I get to know the kitchen crew. Everything was so new to me. New working environment, new people, new job scope, new experience. Everything was just so premiѐre to me haha...

I begun to enjoy my internship and never get tired of working. It is true that when you enjoy doing something, you will never get tired of it, and you will make sure you will do the best of it. I knew I wasn't good enough in many things, if they really wanted to compare me with the other trainees, but I always make sure I do no mistakes. Thanks for all the teachings, guidance, patience and protection from the kitchen crew. I felt blessed ^^

7th of August 2013, my last day of internship. Time really flies. 6 weeks was just like a blink of eye. For a sudden, I wished I could extend my internship haha... Then I realised, it's not the place or the tasks that have attracted me, but the people I met. The happy moments we shared together and the spirit of unity among the kitchen crew made me felt that we are one big family together, and this really warmed my heart...

23rd of August, this will be my last visit to the kitchen I guess. I wouldn't have the chance to enter the kitchen to see my friends there since I have settled everything in the hotel. I have no reasons to go back after this... If I ever had a chance to go to the hotel, I will be playing a different role --- a guest.

I am glad that they still invite me to their late night gatherings and sports. Really appreciate the kindness ^^ Going back to Kelantan very soon and starts a new semester. I won't be able to meet them for at least 3 months. Gonna miss this bunch of great people. Well, people have to move on and all good things must come to an end. Let's just pray for the best ^^

To Premiѐre Hotel kitchen crew, thank you for everything and you guys are truly the best! Keep in touch ^^

Bila yg tertulis untukku

Adalah yg terbaik untukmu

Kan ku jadikan kau kenangan

Yg terindah dlm hidupku

Namun takkan mudah bagiku

Meninggalkan jejak hidupku

Yg telah terukir abadi

Sbg kenangan ug terindah

SUKAD 2012/2013

Before entering semester 2, I always wanted to participate in SUKAD, play squash for Nurani. But the selection was on Christmas Night and I was extremely busy that day... Missed the selection. Then I happened to ask my senior about the 2nd selection, but I lose. Well, I guess that's my 2nd chance and I just missed it again. OK, just pay attention on my studies then. Deep in my heart, I still wanted to join so badly. 

A few weeks later, my senior asked my whether am I still interested to join as 1 of the member just quit. This was really a great news for me! I said 'YES!' immediately >< Thanked God! Practiced for a few times and it's time to go for the match. I really didn't have much confidence. I just wanted to gain some experience from the game. My standard is way too low, and I really planned to entertain the people over there. 

Finally we have reached Engineering Campus at Nibong Tebal. The court is so small, dirty, hot and smelly! The court in USMKK is soooo much better. However, the new Desa Utama is so cozy! Went to Penang Island and met my dear dear Jing Yee, missed her so much. had a great day with her shopping, eating and watching movie together ^^ Then, I had a great adventure while driving back to Engineering Campus. Imma is truly a brave and adventurous girl! Thanked God we managed to drive back safe and sound without getting lost... phew!

Busy girl who seldom join our gathering... 

The nervous day has finally arrived. Just planned to play our best and in our surprise we made it to the semi-finals! We won Murni, Lembaran and Restu, and we became the champion for our group. Wow! never thought of entering semi-finals hahaha... 

Teammates! 

Tried this special ice blend 花生搅 at lunch. It is really delicious and the smell of the peanut is so strong... Highly recommend to try this if you go to Nibong Tebal/Parit Buntar.

Passed by Perak and went to Kedah for dinner... LOL, we were in 3 states in 1 night hahaha... Had stir-fried porridge for dinner. First time having this, actually quite similar as normal porridge, just the name.

Met a few new friends over there, Agnes' and Ong Ee's friends. All engineering guys and so many jokes we had that night.

When engineers meet health care professionals hahaha

Semi-finals, nervous! Then, unexpected again, we won Bakti Permai and proceed into finals! Woohoo!!! But then our opponent was PETAS. Which means sure loose for us and easy victory for them. Played as the 3rd player with Shu Ying. Had a nice play with her, badminton MASUM player hahahaha... PETAS people are truly nice and friendly. We tried to play our best, no hard feelings, just a friendly match ^^

This SUKAD was indeed a great experience for me. Thanks a lot to my dear teammates - Choi Sine, Imma, Poh Juan and Agnes. This match made me to have more passion for squash XD

为马来西亚的祷告

我的心因耶和华快乐；我的角因耶和华高举。

我的口向仇敌张开；我因耶和华的救恩欢欣，

只有耶和华为圣；除祂以外没有可比的，也没有磐石像我们的身。

人不要夸口说骄傲的话，也不要出狂妄的言语；

因耶和华是大有知识的神，人的行为被祂衡量。

勇士的弓都已折断；跌倒的人以力量束腰。

素来饱足的，反作用人求食；饥饿的，再不饥饿。

耶和华使人死，也使人活，使人下阴间，也使人往上升。

他使人贫穷，也使人富足，使人卑微，也使人高贵。

他从灰尘里抬举贫寒人，从粪堆中提拔穷乏人， 使他们与王子同坐，得着荣耀的座位。

地的柱子属於耶和华；他将世界立在其上。

他必保护圣民的脚步，使恶人在黑暗中寂然不动；人都不能靠力量得胜。

与耶和华争竞的，必被打碎；耶和华必从天上以雷攻击他， 

必审判地极的人，将力量赐与所立的王，高举受膏者的角。

最终掌权的还是耶和华。地上的君王祂赐力量，祂也能把权力收回；因赏赐的是祂，收回的也是祂。只要不断祷告，继续信靠，上帝必定在适当的时机介入马来西亚，扭转乾坤！愿耶和华的国降临，愿耶和华的旨意行在马来西亚如同行在天上！

Pre-courtship ---> Marriage

Last week, the topic for our CF meeting was BGR, and we invited Elder Shirley from Acts Church to share with us. She really knows how to joke and at the same time she made us think of situations that we never thought of. Learnt something new from her, which is 'pre-courtship'.

Pre-courtship is the stage when a guy and a girl are both attracted with each other, but they are unsure whether he/she is the person he/she wants to marry. So, they get into a 3 to 6 months of pre-courtship under their mentors guidance. So, what is this pre-courtship all about? Pre-courtship is when the 2 people spend most of their time together talking about their vision in life, passion for the ministry of God, faith levels, etc,.. in public and bright places. It is totally different with 'dating'. Pre-courtship makes you to understand yourself and the person you are attracted to more by having these serious topics discussed. It makes sure that you know both of you are on the same track before you move on together. Unlike dating, it started off with the serious part, if everything goes well then the 2 people are ready to be attached.

Never think of pre-courtship before, where you leave the romance part after the serious part. Normally, romance comes into the picture first then other things come in. When romance comes first, then sometimes you will find that he/she is not the one, and the relationship comes to an end. But if you do it the other way round, then the relationship is much more stable and guaranteed. It is hard for 2 people with different visions and thoughts to live together. There must be disagreements and quarrels.

So, it's important to find a partner that share the same vision as you as he/she will be your lifelong partner. He/she will be the one that will hold your hands tightly and walk through all the difficulties in life; he/she will be the one that will wipe away your tears and tell you "although the whole world don't understand you, I will always do"; he/she will be the one you share all your happiness with; he/she will be the one that will love you more than anything.

Well, had a precious lesson on BGR this week. It really makes me think more deeply and seriously about courtship.

The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

- Genesis 2:18
