All Smiles

I like how things are moderately paced here. 
I like the view I get of the early morning sun from my balcony and of the sun setting as I drive back home in the evening. 
I like how everyone here is so damn friendly. The majority of the people here are over fifty, sixty years old. There's always a smile on their face as they greet you or try to help you. It's such a pleasant environment.
I like the variety of Chinese food I get here. 
I like how there are so many little cafes around town.
This was at the Espresso Bar just five minutes from my place. Served very good chocolate fudge, too.
I have to say, I really wasn't keen on coming to this place. I was so upset and so disappointed for many months but by God's grace things are going just fine and I'm at complete peace.
I like how everything is just a five or ten minute drive away from where I'm staying. Town is a little bit of Penang and Malacca all rolled into one. 
Went for Cell Group last night since I can't go for Sunday service because of classes. Met some lovely people (who were mostly over thirty).
I cannot describe or explain to you how I felt when the cell leader started his introduction about the topic of discussion last night.
Change.
Transition.
Exactly what I'm experiencing right now and I just knew that this is where I'm meant to be. I don't know why. I don't know when things will become clear but I know for a fact that things have happened the way they have within this past year for a reason. 
We're told to embrace change. It's so much easier said than done, don't you think?
But if there's one thing I've learnt about change, it's that no matter where we're meant to go or what we're meant to do, if you pray about it and you ask for guidance, God will be right there with you. If he takes you to it, he will take you through it. 
All you need to have is faith.
It hasn't been easy.
All the trials that I've had to face since I moved away from home. All the difficult experiences I've had. All the difficult people I've met.
Everything happened for a reason.
Everything is still happening for a reason.
And to be able to wake up every morning knowing that I'm taken care of is truly such a blessing.
I'm at complete and utter peace.
:)

Table Topics: Judgement & Understanding

Took one of my classmates out today coz she needed to get some things. She's been through a lot. Nothing I will disclose here but we had a pretty long chat in the car once we got back. And it's really true what they say about never judging someone before getting to know them. She opened up to me about everything that was going on. How she felt about things. How she was dealing with things. And at the end of the day it all boils down to understanding. There's a reason behind the things people do. It's simply a matter of accepting that reason and understanding them for it and them helping them get through it. You hear stories about married couples going through a divorce. It's really not an option anyone should think about after marriage. After all it's for better or for worse, right? But what if sometimes it becomes too much to bear? What if sometimes things get impossible to handle? What if that's the reason divorces happen in the first plac...

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once...

Of Ends & New Beginnings

Eleven months ago I was about 20% suicidal. A lot has happened since then. Graduated just three days ago. It was really very emotional for me because I never really thought I'd make it this far. I'm actually a doctor now can you believe it? Many years ago I wrote something about myself that I felt made perfect sense. & it really has this past year; "If anyone were to fall for me, I daresay it wouldn't be for my looks, but rather the way they get to be themselves when they're with me." I have learnt so many things this year. A lot more than I have in a while. I've learnt not to judge anyone solely on the way they look, because even the ones most displeasing to the eyes have qualities about them which you cannot help but to love and admire. If anything, or if something is meant for you, you will have it somehow. You may have to walk through hell and back to get it, but it will be yours for the taking if that's what God has decided...
