Today I was wearing all black, from top to skirt to shoes. ( It's very rare that I wear black )
Hmm... Not a good sign.
Many sad and bad things happened.
Two of my good friends tendered their resignation letters and a friend pass away today.
Saiful and Chef Law resigned. Chef Francis pass away.
Saiful is my good buddy in office. Saiful, Umi and I. 3 of us are very close.
Still remember there was once I fell down at the loading bay and hurt my knee real bad.
I forced myself to walk back to the office and I just sat on the floor next to Umi's place, my knee was so pain until tears keep rolling down. I can't move anymore and my knee was red and swollen. Saiful was the one who ran down to the cafe to get ice and put it on my knee. Even though my hands was fine and I can actually hold the ice myself, but yet he's so kind and help me to do it.
He's a nice friend with nice personality. I'm gonna miss him a lot.
Chef Law is also my good friend. He's the Pastry Chef who bakes cakes, makes chocolate and ice-cream.
Everytime when I'm unhappy or upset, I'll go down to his kitchen to see him. He'll listen to me patiently, and comfort me with chocolates. :-) His chocolates are always yummy!
He's a nice friend with great chocolates. Hehe... I'm gonna miss him a lot. (& the chocolates too)
Chef Francis is a hi-bye friend who works at the Japanese counter in Cinnamon Coffee House. He met with an accident on his way to work this morning. Although I don't know him in person, we do greet one another when we meet. He's one of the pre-opening staff whom I knew since 7th floor. He's always with his smiling face, never fail to greet you with a smile which can really brighten up your day. It's definitely a shocking news to everyone in the hotel about his sad tragedy. His wife is not working with 2 young kids. Sad...
People come and go all the time. Just want to do my best to show a good testimony and to have an impact in other's life whenever I can because nobody knows what will happen the next minute.

2007 ... 2008 ...
Year 2007 has passed by SO fast! Last weekend I went back to GLO, Taiping with Melody and Joseph, a place where I started my year 2007.
It has been a year already and yet everything is still so ... "yesterday".
Year 2007...
A year of changes... lots of changes...
From a place where I have all my family members with me, to a place where I have to stay alone all by myself.
From a place where my home is always noisy, siblings teasing one another, laughing out loud, to a place where my home is always quiet until I can hear the fan on the ceiling and dogs barking outside.
From a place where I have many church friends whom I grow up together with, to a place where I have to start from scratch to know new friends, I mean real NEW.
From a place where I'm always the AMY that people talk about, to a place where I'm WHO AMY that people don't even know exists.
From a place where I'm always holding some position where I have a say on everything, to a working place where I'm new and having the lowest position where I have no say at all.
It may seems to be I'm changing from a much comfortable and familiar place to a place where everything was just so new to me, but I really thank God for this 1 whole year where I really learn a lot and grow a lot (I hope!).
I end my year of 2007 with much gratitude.
Thank God for this wonderful year.
Thank God for my wonderful parents who has been very supportive.
Thank God that He has opened my eyes to see how much my parents actually love me and care for me.
Thank God for their understanding as I know I've been selfish for making them worry about me.
Thank God for Eugene and Aunty Siew Leng for being so generous to allow me to stay in their house. I really can't imagine myself staying somewhere else but here.
Thank God for all the great friends who really care about me and love me so much. Without them, I really can't imagine how my life here will be if not because of them. God is really great! He knows I need friends and He has provided me with great friends.
Thank God for helping me to fit into the church well and being able to serve in a ministry.
Thank God for all the wonderful colleagues who helps to make my working environment a fun place. It's not easy or rather it's not normal to be able to get good colleagues. I really thank God for them as they are the people whom I spend most of my time with, 9 hours per day.
Thank God for a job which I really enjoy doing. It's not easy to find a job where you are happy and enjoy doing too.
Thank God for always provides, even though my salary is super pathaetic, but yet, I still can survive until now and God has been really good and His ways are just wonderful.
Thank God for the protection as it's a crazy world out there. Thank God that I'm safe and can have peace in my heart knowing that He will protect me and guard me.
Thank God for being such a great God who cares about my life.
Thank God for all the hard time He has put into the picture to discipline me and to help me grow.
Thank God for everything. Can't thank Him enough.
It really amazed me to see how God works in my life.
Year 2008...
Not sure what's in store for me, but one thing for sure God's plan is always perfect. Just trust in Him that He'll guide me through another wonderful year, a year of blessings, a year of learning and a year of growing. Also pray that He'll reveal His plan for me as in where am I heading after this. Should I stay here in PJ? Should I go back to Butterworth? Or Should I be in somewhere else? I'm excited about this new year because it's just so wonderful to see how God works in my life each and every day.

New Year
On 31st, I went to my aunt Lan Mai's house to have family dinner with them. I'm really thankful that I have a very kind hearted and nice aunt here in PJ, somemore so near to my house and my work place. She asked me over to her place for steamboat. My uncle, my aunt, my cousins-Marcus, Thadd and Sarah. We had a great fellowship with one another, chat a lot and laugh a lot. My uncle and my 2 cousin brothers are really jokers. They can just say things and make me laugh non-stop. We sat there and chat for quite awhile until almost 9pm. Then I have to rush as I'm attending the watchnight service in Life Chapel.
I drove myself home and on my way, I picked Andrew Low from the LRT Station. He's my dear brother. Can't really remember how long we know each other. Can say we grow up together in the same church. It has really been years. Glad to see him. His church in Nilai has no watchnight service so he decided to take 2 hours of KTM to attend watchnight here.
We reached church 10 minutes before the service starts. Haih... as usual, all of them start teasing me with him. Haha... they say he looks old. Some asked whether he's my colleague. When they found out his age, they can't believe it. Anyway, that's not the point. This was the first out of Butterworth Gospel Hall watchnight service that I attended. Sorry to say, I still like Butterworth one. =p There was so much fun and warm. In BWGH, we will have dinner together, then followed by playing some games, that's the time where we really had lots of fun. Still remember last year, we asked some of the couples to stand on the stage and asked them questions about their spouses, looking at them struggling to answer and how loving they are, it's just so fun. =) After that, we start with the more serious program. After the singing session, our youth will present a sketch. I always think that's the highlight.. hehe... because we'll have a theme and a strong message to bring out to all the audience and not only for them, God always touch my heart through the message of the sketch and it's always so wonderful to see how God works through the sketches. Then, sermon by speaker and followed by prayers of all 3 elders until 12am. Really miss those time, I'm sure Andrew will understand what I meant. It's just so different.
After the service, around 20 of us went to Lotus mamak to chat. A very loooong table. We chat and it rains... so we all have to get up and stand in front of the shop, thought going home, but everyone was still so awake and just can't stop chatting until the rain stop and we moved outside and sit down with the same loooong table position and start chatting again. Until almost 3.30am, we left that place.
Aliza, Jensen, Andrew and myself went to Joseph's house. We taught Aliza how to play "bridge". Joseph, Aliza, Andrew and myself played the game until morning 8am. We woke ZenSen up to go for Dim Sum breakfast. Not very great. I didn't really eat much too. Anyway, enjoyo\ed the fellowship. :-)
We sent Andrew back to the KL Sentral to take KTM. On the way, Jo and Aliza bought me cough medicine and Strepsils. Haha.. I guess they also can't stand me coughing til so bad and know that I won't see doctor. Anyway, that's very sweet of them. :-) Then we went back to Jo's house to continue our "bridge" game. It was really fun and it keeps reminding me of the time when I was down with chicken pox with my siblings. We really so crazy with this game and we just can't stop playing it day and night... :-)
Sister Siew Yoon invited me and Weng Soon to her house for lunch. First thing, the food was nice!!! I have never eaten that before, not sure what is it called but it's really nice. Second thing, her triplets are really adorable. It's really a blessing. It's definitely not easy to handle a triplet, especially when they all want the same thing. It's so difficult to decide who to give to. Phew!!! but they are absolutely adorable. Can't take my eyes off them. :-)
After lunch and a long chat, went back to Jo's house around 3.30pm. Thought of continue playing bridge or Call of Duty but Aliza was asleep and Jensen went home already. Su came but he was playing Magic with Tim and Charles. Ended up I fell asleep too. Slept til 7.45pm, drove back to my house and continue sleeping. I really can't believe that I was awake for 33 hours. 33 hours!!! That's definitely my record for years to come. I was quite surprised that I didn't feel sleepy or feel like dying, but I know it's not a good thing and I shall not do this often. =p I think this is also part of the reason why my cough can't be healed. =p
This is a very different and special New Year for me. Started with lots of fun and sweet friends around me. I really thank God for a great bunch of nice friends around me. He's a God who listens to prayers and He will not leave me nor abandon me. He knows my needs and His plans are always the perfect plan. To be able to survive here alone, they are really my family. I really appreciate all their friendships... :-) Thanks...
