Local?

Hey everyone. It's been a long time since my last entry. Perhaps about 3 months? :)
I apologize to my avid readers (if i have any) that my long hiatus is due to well... several good reasons. :) For those who didn't know what I was doing during my long absence, I was back in KK, Sabah. My small lil humble hometown. I've never felt so attached to a place before and going back there made me remember alot of stuffs. Mostly happy stuffs. :)

I've even achieved one of my lifetime goals which is to climb Mount Kinabalu! So the 3 Loh sisters actually made it to the peak huh? :) I was abit worried because of my physique...which doesnt really seem to be like my sisters...who were both athletes... i think i'm the nerd amongst them? Well, I made it with God's abundant grace! And also am glad I didnt stumble upon any uninvited guests as I was travelling or (rather hopping down) from Laban Rata to Timpohon alone!

Besides that, I'm also accepted into IMU for their local programme. At first, I wasn't really keen on doing so. After seeing so many of you(my friends), going abroad to study. I really wished I could too. Going back to KK had made me realised alot of things.

My love to God. Importance of family. My true friends. Communication.

Everything is so crucial. The 1 and a half month was really fast. Despite not doing anything on some days, I thank God for each beautiful day that He had given me to comtemplate upon. Despite of having cloudy and rainy days, I thank God for the refreshing water splattered on the soil... showering the little flowers that are about to grow and bloom. I thank God for the nice scent of fresh grass!

KK made me humbler. I went to the Lifeline Camp in Bundu Tuhan with half of them going to local universities and finishing their degrees locally. That humbleness made me realised that, what is important is your education. Despite not being able to see Big Bens, Kangaroos, beautifully engraved cities.. they seem to appreciate what they have been given.

Learning from them, I know the quality might differ between local and overseas, but if I were to be serious in studying... what big difference does it make? I would still end up getting my degree. :) And getting the same job. Sigh, but the grass on the other side always appear to be greener. Well, I won't stop applying for twinning, but, I won't be defeated if by the end of the day, I were to be given local programme. I thank God that my mom who's the sole breadwinner of the family actually supported every decision I've made.

Anyway, I cannot believe I am pursuing medic because it felt like a dream to me. I've never liked the ideas of zombies, cadavers, alone in hospital at night, on call duties, gloomy fluorescent toilets, all these ideas freak me! But i guess, somehow, God kinda steered me here.

As reluctant as the reluctant saint, it never occured to me I wanted to be a doctor eventhough they looked cool on TV dramas.Mingling people's lives isn't really my forte.

However, I think I'm ready to face it. I'm ready to grow up. Face the big picture. Be a doctor. :) I know this isn't gonna be easy. I'm worried of memorising things. Screwing things up. But i believe,.. "I can do all things through Christ!"

And with you all behind my back... Life seems brighter~

I'm driven :)

Hey guys!

How have you all been? I'm still alive after working at starbucks for about.. 2 months? And guess what! Surprisingly the sewage tank (grease trap) wasnt that bad after all! Instead of scooping the water out, i used the "siphon" method to actually get the water out of the tank. So it was obviously much faster and much more "neat" as compare to scooping the water out.

Anyway, i seem to develop some rash after working in starbucks because i had to be in contact with detergents - dishwashing, sanitizer, all the time. :(

So i have been aimlessly being occupied with something for the past 5 months since my a-levels and I've come to a conclusion of what I want to be in future. :) Many times, I have asked my friends' opinions about what should I do, what do I look like to them? Some of my friends were pretty straightforward, some were just plain nice. :)

But I guess, after being encouraged by my sister, and also been doing some... soul searching and asking around, I guess I have finally decided to be a doctor. Even as I am typing the word doctor now, I kinda feel scared because I don't wanna face the fact that I am going to be posted to a dungy hospital, every morning breathe in the antiseptic smell...

And also, becoming a doctor isnt just about being glamourous. It's about being responsible for treating mankind's wellbeing. :) And thinking about that makes me feel burden because I dont wanna be accountable for something...soo... fragile. :( I guess God has His awesome plans, no matter how much i would wanna avoid it, I'm sure He would stir me back into His plans.

However, of course, God won't help those who doesnt even help themselves. I don't expect to receive an acceptance letter without applying into a university. So I have just applied into IMU, hoping that they have received my application. Chances of me getting into IMU is slim because they are currently looking at results of ABB and above. And i got BBB. So sad ay? That's why lar! Now regret got use meh? At first don't study hard...lol.

If i were given another chance to study medicine, I would grasp this chance and won't let go. And this time, I am going to make sure I have the right approach. The problem with me is that...i just can't seem to focus. I tend to forget things easily and wonder off when people start talking too much. I guess i need to have a new study method. Lol. And i know i am not those studious person who could stay up till 5am and expect to remember everything.

Anyway, do pray I would get accepted into IMU guys! And also if I do..i need to start revising for my IELTS!

xoxo

Do you believe in MIRACLES?

Have you ever lose something so precious?
Something even money can't buy?
Or even someone?

You know, sometimes it's hard for us to believe in miracles. Especiallty those near-death patients, those who lost precious items. Many!

And many of us, realistically would of course give up. And accept the sad truth that we just "lose" it and what we need to do now is to take precaution from that moment onwards.

I don't know whether you (yes YOU!) know about this or not. But I lost my 5 year old black nike soft wallet. =( at asia cafe.

Let me tell you precisely what happened.

It was about our breaktime, 11-12. I walked to Asia Cafe and sat at table number B14. After ordering my food, i sat down with the rest of the gang. Bakshish, Thesdave and of course, Brian. So my food came, i TOOK out my wallet and paid.
And later on, I just grasp and hold onto it. There was this indian lady, asking for donation. But you know, being financially effluent, i can't afford donating too much all the time. So i held onto my wallet tight and gave a sympatic shook to the lady.

Well, i held onto it. But i had to eat! Stupid me, never bother to put it in the bag. I had my wallet held in between my crossed legs and just ate my food greedily.

Later on, we left the place and went for class. I did not feel my wallet's gone! Not until about 9.30pm at night.

In my wallet there's
-cash
-cards (Atm, credit card, license)
- and most precious of all, prayer cards, pictures

I was deeply appalled. I was so disappointed at myself for being such a klutz or 404.
(noun an unintelligent person; MORON, DIMWIT.
example - I wouldn't ask him, he's a 404.)


So i sent out smses to everyone i could possibly help, Neo, Siva, Ying, Carol, Misty, since they lived nearby. And I called Shannon to ask whether he has any friends who could help me to look for my wallet at Asia Cafe. I posted messages online and posted messages in facebook. With a glimpse of hope that my wallet would be saved by someone. I sent messages to people asking for prayers, Jennifer and my buddy Esther.

Recently, as you can see I just lost my I/C and also quite alot of money. And to replace my I.C, it's really really expensive for me. It burns my pocket. (alot)
Anyway, i disabled my credit card and they said that there is no transaction made. THANK GOD.. it's not been used somewhere at Sunway Pyramid or Pavillion. @@

And well, to block it, they would have to cancel my current credit card. And for a replacement it's another RM50.. omg... i lost my I.C, Driving license.."P" due 5th October 2009, ATM..all these need money to replace man... omg...

i can't study thinking of how broke I am. I can't study thinking about my whole stupidity and foolishness. I stayed up until about 2am....just can't sleep. kept praying praying praying praying praying........

Woke up at 6am..and started the day with prayers. Reached college at 7am. And the scariest thing to do is... driving 15km with an EMPTY tank. and u have just 7 bucks in ur pocket. This time, i drove at the slow lane because tank almost empty... =(

Found a parking in front of Asia Cafe. Well, went down the car and went rounds and rounds around asia cafe. Asked the workers there. They don't really seem to understand what's "dompet" and "wallet" and it's not really helpful when i dont have a picture of my wallet as well. So to my utter disappointment, I just walked around looking helpless and sad. I peered into the drain like so many times...until the MPSJ guy who's clearing the drain start looking at me strangely. I looked around asia cafe but still cannot find.

Then..the cleaners noticed me and told their "higher ranking" friend ..jersey shirt number 40. that i lost my wallet. That guy seems passionate to find my wallet. He asked the counter (which i asked earlier on) whether they found a wallet. But the kak say "tak ada". =( soo...i went back into the car and waited for Brian. And prayed again for a good 5 minutes. Came down the car...and then walked to college.

On my way, there...i heard someone "psst-ing" at me. so i turned around and saw the asia cafe guy asked me to follow him. Feeling abit of light shining, followed him there. He asked me to wait at the table and called jersey guy no 40.

He came and said...they "could" have find my wallet. Then i followed him to the counter and then...the kak asked for my name.. then i showed my student ID.

"LOH YA FUI" and then they apologised.

=(

They said... the wallet's stacked somewhere. Can't find. But now they found it! The no40 guy said he kept asking around and then they found it in the end! =D

It was wrapped in a plastic with a big label "LOH YA FUI" there.
So happy!!! That i didn't know what to do and I cried. Because i can't believe GOD is so real. I really really prayed. (not till i sweat blood out but still... )

And while i was buying nasi lemak, i cried in front the aunty cz at first i looked at here.. but i didnt buy anything from her.. felt bad..then she and her husband consoled me and said i was lucky.

And i really think so. ;)

Because i cant imagine how much my mom would screw me if i tell her i lost my whole wallet. My mom is not really a person particular about my results but dude... when it's about money... omg.

Anyway.. i prayed this prayer to St Anthony..

" O Holy St Anthony, gentlest of saints,
your love for God and charity for His creatures,
made you worthy when on earth to possess miraculous powers.
Miracles waited on your word,
which you were ever ready to speak for those
in trouble or anxiety.
Encouraged by this thought,
I implore of you to obtain
(state request here).
The answer to my prayers may require a miracle,
even so, you are the Saint of Miracles.
O gentle and loving St Anthony,
whose heart was ever full of human sympathy,
whisper my petition into the ears of the Sweet Infant Jesus,
who loved to be folded in your arms,
and the gratiture of my heart will ever be yours.
(followed by Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be)
Amen."

I'm sorry for posting up a catholic prayer. It's just i'm really thankful and I can't believe I can actually find back my wallet. Because in a place like KL. Who would bother to return it right?
I'm sorry that this is a reallly long post. So thank you for reading this. I just wanna say Thanks to God for being so awesome. If you have any lost items, pray to God earnestly and i'm sure He can find for you. God can raise the dead to life. what more just finding my measly wallet?

I'm at the library now. And Brian just brought me a tin of murukkus. Haha.. he didn't know i found my wallet until he read this! :P
And thank you everyone for your support. :)

I love you GOD! AND THANK YOU ST ANTHONY!

The plastic with my name :)

:)

Never gonna lose you again!

A beautiful Sunday. :)

Ahhh..today is a beautiful Sunday. I guess... I tried to play songs from my mp3 player. But i forgot to bring the cable! So can’t connect to the computer. And also, my neighbour moved away..so i can’t steal internet connection. Anyway, I’m here at home on a Sunday afternoon. So im like forced to listen to songs from my sister’s “NEW”laptop. It’s called “I Kara bara by Muso Ko”. Dude, i don’t even know what im listening man. Pretty exotic , huh? I know. Heh.
Well, this is my third day in KK and I had hella blast with my friendSSSS (*note i have lots here!!! *blush*) and I had hella blast from my mom too. =.=

Yesterday night, I went clubbing with Dana and Hannah.. (I wanna “....” love Han-nah-nah-nah...I wanna “....” love Da-na-na-na-na) Haha. So random right? Like hannah, dana and Yvonne.

But well, i had hella fun with them. Seriously, u think both of them...like..huwaa..”Stone-stone”dunno how to dance ka...DUN BE FOOLED... Gilarr.... @@ Well, u should see for urself lar. I mean, hahaha...if u need any clubmates, u can call Hannah or Dana. XD

Oh..we went Rumba...dude, as compared to Euphoria... cannot lar!! Rumba... hmm..well, I think their music was really GOOD. They had Heartbreaker, Forever and Just Dance..when we were about to leave they played “whatever you like”. Lol!

We pretty much stayed in the car after that. We were waiting for Datuk Virgil and Datuk Nic to finish their movie (AUSTRALIA). But they showed up in the end, which i was pretty glad they did. We didn’t actually have the mood to club anymore. We wanted to go McD and have McFlurry bah. Then tak jadi,so we were in the car. Hahaha. We went to shen, and we went to the entrance, so we asked, do we need to get drinks to go in? They were like “ÿeah” ..Then we decided not to go in d, cz need to pay!! We don’t even feel like drinking. So tired of drinking. We had Cuba Libre, Baileys Irish Cream and Virgin Daiquiri in Rumba. Hannah did not get her Virgin Daiquiri. Sad lar... but I had enough of alcohol. I need to drive bah.

So, we stayed in the car till both of them turned up. And we went to BarSu at waterfront. Wow!! Seriously I like that place, the house music was really GOOD. Except for some lar. Well, I really enjoyed it. I met some ppl there but haha, not good bah mention here. Nanti kena sue.
For more details, u can actually MSN me or CALL me. SMS me when I’m FREE. LIKE NOW?
Haha...OK.LET’S SKIP TO THE MAIN EVENT!!! WOOT! (Saving the best for the last)
Oh yarh, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! *blows the paper like thingy whistle*
Ahhhh...MY GREAT ADVENTURE.

Well, on the 2nd of January, about 12 AM. I re-checked my flight’s time again, thanks to Brian Jason Justin. And when I saw it... it was like... 0650

I WAS LIKE........ “.......”
So... i called my sis..”Thing, what time is 0650?”
Sis : OH SHIT IT’S MORNING! OMG! HOW!!!!!????
Me: OMG!!! HOW!!!!???
Sis: *Starts packing stuffs*

Well, i told my mom about my clumsiness and she started lecturing me from inefficiency-ness to messi-ness. @@
Ok ok, well, i reached KK about 9.30 AM. I did not sleep the whole night. Was lectured “kao2” (sangat teruk)

So skip that part, to the night part.

WELL!

The initial plan was to ask everyone out, and I’ll give them surprise bah! But who knows, Meli actually wanted to “gotcha” me bak. And Esther kinda knew Im bak. Pffftt... so when i told her my mom is passing her some stuffs, she was like uhm..ok... She kinda guessed I’ll be back! So, well, I drove my proton HERO to fetch her lar. Then, lol, she was like...”YEAARRRHAHHHAHAHA!!!??”

(i think)

Okay, then i kidnapped her from her house and we went brass monkey. I was damn punctual. Reached there at 7.30 pm. Then one by one. The ppl come. I was thinking that, mayb 10 or less will show up. But then, wow..almost around 20 something ppl turned up!!!
