I will rest in you

Lord, I'm in the dark,
Seems to me the line is dead when I come calling.
No one there, the sky is falling;

Lord, I need to know.
My mind is playing games again,
You're right where You have always been.

Take me back to You,
The place that I once knew as a little child;
Constantly the eyes of God watched over me.
Oh, I want to be
In the place that I once knew as a little child,
Fall into the bed of faith prepared for me.

I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.

Tell me I'm a fool,
Tell me that You love me for the fool I am,
[And*] comfort me like only You can,

And tell me there's a place
Where I can feel Your breath
Like sweet caresses on my face again.

I will rest in You - Jaci Velasquez

JS: What I miss #2

I miss..

Li Vien. My roommate.

• Talking with her every night.
• Locking her out of our room n leaving her to wash the toilet in her jeans :P
• She waking me up in the morning including her method of kicking.. there's just that way she does it that's rough yet gentle.
• Seeing how she's so concerned towards her troubled friends back in Kampar.
• Hearing her talk on her handphone with her parents and friends every night.
• Her mess n cleaning up after her sometimes
• Seeing her kindness and generosity towards kids, especially towards the myanmar boy
• Her super niceness to me. I especially remember her waking up early to wake me up early and accompanying me for worship practice EARLY in the morning (i was SO complaining bout having to wake early cos the worship leader din have a practice the evening before)
• See her super kindness and love towards others.
• Having...
  "Li Vien: You're so plastic!
  Me: What me?! Look who's calling who plastic?!"
  ...kind of 'arguements'
• Her reaction when i told her bout her puppy dog eyes and cute hamster face
• How she nibbles on the Mamee Monster i brought to JS
• How my slippers go missing cos she lent it without asking
• The conversation we had bout uh hmm.. some ppl and their pet frogs
• How she tells and retells (cos i keep forgetting n mixing them up) her past experiences with Freaky Marty and Freaky Farty
• How she agonises for weeks bout the confusion she's in with some ppl
• Watching her fooling around and trying to do the bitch act
• Seeing her impersonation of Lawrence dancing
• Hearing her sing almost everywhere she goes, especially during bathing time

and most of all.. the care and trustworthiness that comes out of her, the good and loyal friendship and semangat roommates!

Tales of SMK Taman Monyet

I am Abigail Low (left), Math top scorer and very qualified Biology, Chemistry and Physics teacher in SMK Taman Monyet. This is my best student (an aspiring doctor) and I. (I'm refering to the punjabi girl in the mask ok, not the skeleton)



This is me in my territory. Again, with my favourite student. Ah, life's good when it's just me teaching her.



Though she has an annoying habbit of poking that ruler of hers everywhere even when I'm teaching!



But.. *Sigh*



Being a teacher in SMKTM isnt easy. Exspecially when one is as 'cute' as me, and have students the size of Giants!



And the things students do in class nowadays..! *Shake head* Ridiculous!

Sleeping..



Eating and playing cards!



And the most ridiculous of it all...



I've always had trouble with Science hating students.. They're either childish little brats who refused to go to class...



Or annoying ones who didnt wanna leave class and always left me with no choice but to throw them out of class..



Then there's the group of monkeys that always run out of class n hang around the nearby playground...



Or go dating...



Sometimes, even my fav student will betray me and join that pack of monkeys.. I sure feel like releasing that monster in me when that happens..



*Oh God, what am I to do with these students?*




Occasionally, I'd get the help of Miss Li, another teacher that isnt as 'cute' as me.



But i couldnt always get her to discipline MY students.. I had to take things into my own hands..

And it dawned one fateful day where Kiren and I made an amazing discovery!



We applied severely complicated and advanced science on one of the science haters...



And turned her into a Science lover!



And we did it on all my students. So here we are, one big science loving family!



Yes, a job well done.

JS: Malacca trip

During JS, we went to different churches around the country every weekend. The most enjoyable one was the Malacca trip. Our first trip out Seremban.

The food was THE number one thing we sapu-ed like crazy. We ate like we've been deprived of good food for weeks! Hmm.. come to think of it.. we kinda were... Ah! But who cares? It gave us a huge appetite for the tasty malacca food!















It all started out with a meal out in some kampung roadside makan place where we got to eat curry laksa and some pretty good mee siam.

After the meal, we were free for the day. Since we were such a big group we couldnt go sightseeing or do any particular activity as a group around malacca. Transportation problem. So most of the ppl went to some shopping mall nearby n spent the whole day there.

But i was lucky! My dear roomie had arranged for Janice, an ex-JS girl from Malacca to bring us around. We sure were lucky.

First up, where did we go? What did we do?

Go in search for food la!



Yumm.. Looks good doesnt it? Cendol biasa n durian cendol..



Mmm.. watch us eat lah!



My dear roomie, Gerviene.. Just look at her pretty puppy eyes..

Now, on to the shops in Jongker Street!







Malacca delicacies! Lizards, rats, cockroaches and centipedes!



All for one, one for all!



Did lots of posing. Dont Johanan and his friend look similar?





Alvin and Johanan saving Janice from the hands of Kayu man...



While Gerviene and I save Phoebe from the other Kayu man



Dumping ourselves on that old flimsy overdecorated trishaw. The trishawman was really nice tho. He let us pose there for free n he took the pic for us. And he can speak like a bunch of chinese dialects and english really fluently!



Posing with the snake! Janice belanja!



The snake and I. It's really heavy!



Alvin and the snake. He looks really cool doesnt he? Do not be deceived! He was screaming and shaking before and after he held the snake.



OK, now Janice was really and obviously scared of the snake here



Hanging out in the cemetary. and Trapped!



Posing in the that Kubu place







Gerviene, Phoebe and Johanan with the Guitar and Harmonica playing man



Bombs away!!!



We all over the kereta kerbau display! It sure was hard to climb up that 'kerbau'. Alvin sucking his thumb, and Gerviene picking the 'kerbau's nose.



Makan again! Our pisang goreng all sapu aedi. This is our coconut shakes! Only RM1.20 a cup! and got extra (the one phobe's pointing at) free of charge!



Next, Janice brought us to the jetty near the portugese settlement. On the way, we passed by Yi Zheng and Chit Shen. We stopped the car by them and stuffed them into the car we were in.



Yeah.. This IS the car. Janice and Chit Shen in front. Yi Zheng, Alvin, Gerviene, Phoebe, Johanan and I were stuffed at the back. Imagine that! 6 of us at the back and we're not even little people! In fact, 4 of us at the back were pretty big. Yi Zheng's 6"1!

Haha.. on the way to our destination, we amused everyone we drove by. One driver even took our picture when we stopped at a traffic light. We all smiled for him, but later realised he might actually be taking the pic to send to the police! So we took a pic of him on the phone so we can send it to the police if he send the pic he took of us in.



Cramming in was worth it. It was enjoyable in a fun and peaceful way.



And we got a really nice view from the jetty. This is one of my fav pics. Yi Zheng against the sunset.



All in all, this day is the day that is among the top of my 'Fav day in JS' list.

No.1: Thanks to Janice for bringing us around! She was late for worship practice because of us, and I think we might've damaged her car's suspension. 8 of us in the car!

No.2: Thanks to ourselves! Each and everyone of us made the day so enjoyable!

No.3: Never forget.. Thanks to God for providing for us in every way, giving us great weather, and not getting us caught by the police for car overloading.

JS: What I miss #1

I miss the genuine warmth of the people around me.
The feeling of acceptance.
Loving and being loved in return.
