Phew!!! I just came out from work! It's a tiring day today. I just realized that today is Saturday and there were a lot of customers and mostly just came for the iPhone case because most people got their iPhone today! WOW!!! It's iPhone harvest time!!! Since morning till night, I must say that 95% of the people just came to look for the iPhone case. Even someone, *ahem*, got his iPhone today and he nagged me to pay for him as he didn't have enough money! Sigh!!! Anyway my dear iPhone, no matter where you are, you'll be mine soon!!! muahahahaha!!!
Today I've encountered 2 Korean ladies and they couldn't speak English properly. They were trying to ask me some questions but they couldn't say out what they were inquiring for. At night, I also met a Korean family, which could speak English well. Somehow, I think that I should learn some Korean language to be able to make a sale well. The most common factor that hinders me in doing my sales properly is LANGUAGE!!! Yes, language! So far I have this problem in communicating in:
1. Cantonese
2. Bahasa Malayu
3. Mandarin
Most Chinese will speak Cantonese to me and I will ALWAYS reply them in English. Although I can't understand a thing of what they are talking about but when they mention about the name of the ipod or of the mac, I will say the price in English!!! haha!!! I will try to guess what they mean by that. Same goes to people who speak Malay to me. So yeah, today I faced Koreans! How to speak??? I should start going for some classes to learn those 3 languages by now else I can't go any further in my sales. At least my French helped me a lot to help those customers from France! :)
Anyway... time to learn new languages!!! Anyone wants to teach me? :)

Finally I got my tag!
Last night I slept with no weird dreams... YAY!!! Surprisingly last night my neighbour came back and freely shared the internet with me! haha!!! Thank you neighbour! :)
Yesterday work was not bad. It was just a normal day. I finally got my tag after 1month of working!!! Everybody got their own tag and I never got one. So I was a bit like a special type of staff there. Anyway if only you know how I got it. The management just printed my name tag only and they were supposed to give me a tag along too but nothing. So I went to buy the plastic to put my name tag inside, who knows that it's too small, cannot slot if at all!!! I'm starting to think that my company is becoming more and more "kiamsiap". They didn't give me the full tag and expect me to get it myself. Anyway I went to get the machines cord from the drawer myself and then attached my own plastic to it... Then I went to The Gardens and put in my shop's business card and claim that it's my own business card! haha!!!
Today is another full day of work from 10am to 10pm! It's gonna be a great day where I'm gonna walk in confidence to make people happy by what I'm gonna demonstrate to them. Though I am weak, that's where I am strong in Him! :)

Weird dream = Horrible dream
G'morning Malaysia! Today I woke up so late after hearing my alarm so many times and let it to stop by itself, I ended up waking up at 9:20AM instead of waking up at 8AM!!! Oh no!!! My work starts at 10AM and I'm still in bed, enjoying my sleep. I wish I could sleep more. Why? Well I'm kinda had a weird dream and every time I would want to go back to the dream and change it.
Here is my dream...
I've dreamt about myself who was on the verge of getting a Macbook Pro 15". I don't really know why I would want the 15" in real life. Anyway, I think in my dream that I've made a mistake. I was in this weird counter that can rotate by itself changing from a Mac Shop to a Christmas Mood Customer Service counter. It was the same people, but as the counter rotated, they suddenly changed their outfit into red and the Christmas hat and asked me, "Yes Sir, how can we help you?" Weird right? Before that the counter rotated by itself, I was buying a Macbook. Can you believe that? I had no idea how on earth I had so much money in my wallet and I was about to pay for the Macbook in cash!!! Ok for your info, the Macbook 15" costs around RM6,3999 to RM8,4999, depending on which specs you're buying. While I was counting my money, I was lack of RM5!!! Sigh!!! RM5 only you know!!! How on earth can I miss RM5 only??? Btw I was saying that in my dream. Then that's how I started to say, "How I wish somebody would help me!" As soon as I've said that, the Mac counter turned into this Christmas Mood Customer Service and asked me, "Yes Sir, how can we help you?" Weird right??? The other scariest thing after that is that I heard God speaking to me. He said, "Give away your Macbook for me!" I was like, "WHAT??? GIVE AWAY???" Sigh! God was asking me to put the Macbook in the building fund. I was really sad... Then by the time I want to negotiate which God, that's how my alarm woke me up!!! ARGHHH!!! It's a sign of no negotiation with God! hahaha!!! Well in this season, it's already a stretched season for me!!! hehehe...
My Mac experience
Ok now back to blogging. I can finally have some time to blog today. So far life has been really busy for me. The working experience in Machines has really been a good thing for me. I learned a lot of things and I especially learned mostly from mistakes. I got scolded so many times that even my fingers and my toes are not enough to count the amount of times that I got scolded. Wow!!! Well mistakes are the past now, it's time to move on...
Now is December and the year is ending soon. I will try to update my blog more (although that I've said that countless times already). I'm putting there for my next year's resolution to make a better blog. This one has become not too stylish and cool anymore. I didn't know that having a lot of additional external javascripts will cause my blog slow to open. I even tried to open my blog on an iphone and it's not working. :( How pity is that and how am I gonna get an iPhone if I continue like that? So yeah, next year, change blog! New year resolution SET!!
Working as a Mac salesperson, I'm becoming a MAC freak now! I really can't stand a PC now, although that I'm blogging right from my Acer laptop. Well to tell you the truth, I haven't touch my Acer laptop for a month already. Why? Well I used to use the internet freely at home... my neighbour, who is still unknown to me, freely shared his/her internet line, so I freely took it... Who knows that right after the final exams, I have no more internet already. First assumption, either my neighbour went back to hometown or he/she has moved house already. What makes me think of this assumption? It's because I can't even find the network!!! It should be there but now it's gone! Maybe I'll get it back in January! Anyway... my point is switching to a Mac is easy but to switch back to a PC, here comes all the headaches!!! I can't even use my PC well. It's not a lousy laptop. I just got it 6months only! Now I'm thinking to sell it now for some certain reasons... Anyone interested to get a laptop, let me know! :)
I'm really blessed to work as a salesperson. To tell you the truth, the word SALES was not my friend unless it has something on = ON SALES!!! :) I'm a person who really hated salesperson because I always thought that they always cheat people to buy their products or services. I'm saying this because I got cheated for many times by salespeople and quite badly. My first experience of being cheated in Malaysia was by my own university. Well sadly to say that, but that's the fact! I didn't get good results for my A Level in my high school and I was said that actually I could do my A Level in UCSI and at the same time as my degree course in Psychology. Unfortunately when only I traveled all the way from Mauritius, with a 9hours flight, I was told that I can't do this programme. Remember this, I came alone in Malaysia. Then I went to see my agent in his office. Guess what he said? He said, "I never mentioned such things before." Well imagine this, my whole world turned upside down and I was forced to do the foundation course in UCSI. That was my first experience. My second experience was by a saleslady who promoted streamyx to me and I was really interested. She told me that I only had to pay RM77 only!!! I was so happy and applied straight away. When I got the bills, who knows that I had to pay activation fee, for the installation fee, and the modem??? Well another time cheated. Now if you see me walk around and you're a salesperson giving flyers to me, I will ALWAYS and ALWAYS say NO to you. Besides that, I'm now a salesperson! Do I cheat people? NO I DON'T!!! Why some people feel cheated? Let me explain as follows:
1. Telling lies
2. Giving false promises
3. Giving wrong information
4. Overly money minded
5. Lack of confidence
6. Lack of experience in handling people
7. Poor English!!!
8. Cheating mindset
So far, I can find only these. Maybe I will find out more the more I work. I met a customer recently who was really angry with my company because he felt cheated by one of my colleague. He told me that he got the wrong information from the salesperson when called the outlet shop earlier. Knowing that he was really frustrated and pissed off, I tried to calm him down and apologize on behalf of my colleague. After calming him down, I managed to sell a Mac to him in the end and not only that, he went off happy! :) Well our job as salesperson should be able to satisfy the customer's needs. I'm working as a professional, although I'm still a trainee, I'm well experience to handle customers on my own now. Salespeople ought not to cheat people. We must be able to show them the benefits of our product or services. Those benefits should be valid, not fake ones else you must be sure and be ready, be very ready to meet the unhappy customer again! I experienced that before. That's one of my scoldings actually. This is due to my lack of experience. I can meet fussy customers almost everyday now too. It's not easy to handle them, but it's really good if I manage to sell my products to them in the end. I met like 3-5 fussy customers which I managed to sell iPods and Macs. Amazing right? :) Well praise God for that! :)
Well salespeople out there, please don't try to cheat people. It's not for your benefit of getting commission. Know your purpose! It's to meet the needs of the customer and to make them satisfied by what we are demonstrating to them and how it benefits them. If you make them unhappy, trust me, in future you won't get lots of customers again. I have a customer who comes every time. I don't know why also, but he's very happy from my service. He's actually a CEO of a big company and he bought a Macbook Air from me and he showed off to his staffs and he's planning to get them to buy Mac. Amazing right? Well it's all because he's a happy customer using a product that benefits him. That's how your market will grow and it multiplies!!!
My Mac experience has really brought me into a new level of confidence and how to handle customers well. I learned how to control my anger too. When I meet customers, I can't be angry with them, I just have to keep my smile and serve them no matter what. Some customers will be unsatisfied of course, but we can't satisfy every customer. Every person has a different perspective of things and different wants and needs. Some are more experts and some are unexperience mac users but they are all humans. Somehow something must attract them sooner or later. They complain, never mind, just move on... there are always other customers to serve! :)
Well that's all from my mac experience. I hope you all enjoy reading it. Oh if you're wondering if I'm gonna buy a mac soon. Well I'm still considering... I'm a mac freak now... too bad... that's how i know my stuffs more, by using it more! :) My favorite toy so far is the Magic Mouse! :)
Cheers!!!

"Hi I'm a Mac"
Does the title sound familiar to you? Yups! It comes from one of Apple Ads about the Mac and this is to tell you that I'm working for Machines, the Premium Reseller of Apple. Since Monday I went for a training of 3days and it was really intensive that my brain couldn't contain it anymore. At first I thought it was a 2 weeks training as I was being told, but then to my surprise, it was a crash course of 3 days and I had to learn everything about Apple products from the tips of my hands. It's fun to learn all these things but it's also challenging. The most challenging part is the DAY 4, which is tomorrow. DAY1-3 was the training and DAY4 is where the action begins.
I'm working at Machines at Midvalley for a period of 2months for my internship. After that I'll decide whether I'll buy a Mac or not! hehe... My personal target for this week is at least sell a Macbook by the end of the week. I hope that I can do that! Yeah I've written at least... you've seen clearly... but at most... hahaha!! only God knows! :) I pray that I can get a lot of customers to buy Apple products. COME AND BUY MAC! Not MacD ok? :p
Since tomorrow will be my official day of work, please come and visit me if you do cross by midvalley and please buy at least one Apple products. We are having November Promotions!!! Those ipod or mac that you couldn't afford to buy, today right here right now in midvalley, you can buy them at the lowest price. If you want to know more, check out the website www.machines.com.my. :)

A come back! :)
Hello everyone,
I know that I have been away from my blog for a very long long time. But anyway, I'm back again. Just that I won't be blogging often... I need to find some time and inspiration to write! :) Anyways I'm not dead, still alive over here, still in Malaysia, still a Mauritian in a Malaysian body and I feel better and stronger than ever before.
Recently there's was Pst Tan Ye Peng from CHC singapore who came last week and it was indeed a great time. I had the honor to be among the leaders in this retreat on Tuesday and I've learned a lot of new things. He taught us how to live a whole new way of life for God and how to love the Word of God. Indeed, after this, I love the Word of God more than ever before. =)
We are now in October already. Half of my semester is gone already, I still have one more month to go to my final exams. Then I shall go for my internship. I'm still in the process of finding a job that I like with a very good pay, of course! :) If you guys have any suggestion for a job that is related to people, either recruitment, HR or customer service, I'm more than willing to work but I don't want to travel a lot and I don't want to go in some very very far places. Midvalley and KL are considered quite near to Cheras, so it's good for me and transport is quite convenient.
It has now been 5months already since I've been promoted to be a choir leader. It's not an easy thing to do. I have to prepare my team every week to sing at the right pitch and to train them to be on fire for God! :) I really love my team a lot and some really inspire me a lot. I've also been promoted to be a backup vocalist in church. For those who doesn't know, it's quite hard to become a vocalist in church. They must be very good, which is considered quite a privilege and honor for me to be part of this new team - the worship team! :) That's why I was getting busier and busier...
YAY!!! Emerge is coming very soon and the competition are starting this Saturday, wohoo!!! It's gonna be an exciting moment. I'm in the LU cluster (The Winning Cluster for Emerge 2009 - affirming self declaring it out loud!!!) and I'm in the committee for the very first time. It's quite challenging as I was appointed to do some admins stuffs and my first admin work to do, is to compile the list of people. To you it might sound easy, but I'm not a detailed person, so it's quite hard for me and there's a lot of people who wrongly signed up their names in the category. Anyway, it was fun doing it although I started to do the work from 10pm (sunday) till 10am (monday). I hope that I don't have to do a lot more, but sometimes sacrifice is needed to be the winning team! :) hehehe...
One last thing, I just came back from cell group and indeed it was a great time in the presence of God. Our bond has grown stronger than ever and the flow was very good. I'm very proud to be in this cell group and to serve the people. Oh btw, I'll be in this coming batch of Cell Leader Training (CLT)!!! Wohoo!!! I'm super excited and I'm starting up next week. It's gonna be challenging but all good! :) Finally the time I've been waiting for so long has finally come!!! I wanted to join the CLT of the last season but I didn't get the chance to because I wasn't being selected but this time I was selected and I'm really happy about it! :) The time has come! :)
Well that's all that I have to say for the moment. I hope that I can keep track on my blog from time to time. Till now, stay tuned for more updates from me! :)
Cheers~!!

Summing up everything
Hi guys and girls! I know that I have been away from my blog for a very long time. Fainted in the previous post but has been revived by 7up Revive!! hahaha! (So lame) Well I'm trying to keep on track here. So let's see what is there to sum up in just one post...

Hendra & Sing Siang's Birthday
It was a Tuesday, I had dinner with my uncle and cousin as they came to KL. Afterwards I rushed to prepare Hendra's surprise birthday! We had to meet up somewhere in sunway. At first we had to meet up at his house but then the plan has been changed due to an incident. Anyway, sing siang also was with us and little did she know that we were gonna celebrate for her as well.. hehe... It was fun to celebrate for both of them. Actually we waited for quite long, so that's why we had to camwhore nearby. We had to wait for Hendra to finish in his leaders meeting. Then afterwards we went to celebrate at Bidara. But before that, he saw us already, so that's why the surprise was no longer a surprise. Anyway, it was fun! :)

Promoted Choir Leader
It has been 1 month now that I was officially promoted as a choir leader of Team 3. It has been a challenging season for me when I got promoted. I've been busy with a lot of things and I have been on a training as well. But it's all good! I'm proud to be able to serve a bunch of young people and teach them how to sing on stage. I suddenly feel like I'm the tai kor! hahaha!! Anyway, team 3 choir rocks! So far, they have made me proud to be their leader. They are young people but they learn very fast and I've gain respect from them too. Praise God! :)

I Hate Blood Donation!!!
I HATE HATE HATE BLOOD DONATION!!!!!!! Ok it's true that by donating the blood, we are saving lives of people BUT I CAN'T TAKE IT!!! I'm a blood phobia by the way... I can't see a huge amount of blood. If I got a scratch or a small cut, I don't mind. I'm okay with it. But when there's a large HUGE amount of blood, I can either faint straight away or puke the same amount of blood!!! (ok maybe im exaggerating :p)
This is what happened to me next. I felt very uneasy and I started to feel dizzy a bit, felt like I'm gonna faint at any moment. I rushed quickly to the library and find a seat... Suddenly I felt like vomiting!!! I didn't but I could feel all the chicken rice that I had earlier was coming up in a very terrible manner. Maybe when it would have come out, you could get a very hot chicken rice for yourself! :p hahaha!!! Yurks!!!!
Anyway this Sunday, there's also blood donation in church and trust me, I'm not gonna give my blood away!!! That's too scary man! Ok some guys would say, "Be a man, show the girls that you're a man!" What is there to show anyway? Everyone has a greatest fear in life but it doesn't mean that the person is weak. Btw I can see blood if it's a very small portion only. If I watch on TV those criminal shows and shows like Grey's Anatomy, CSI, etc, I can still survive. Because somehow I just know that it's fake. Whereas during blood donation, you can smell those medical stuffs and look at the amount of blood pouring into the blood bag, it's just... just... *faint*....

Back to Uni Life... busy life... again...
Here is my latest updates...
Well I know that I have been missing in action... I have been through a lot of things during these past few weeks... I had exams (yeah I finished exams btw), then after that I went on a holiday to Taiping and Penang and afterwards there was a lot of events in my church.
Finally back to uni, back to normal life, I mean as in busy life. I have class everyday except weekends, which is very good for me! :D Tuesdays and Thursday are my busiest days throughout this entire semester. 5 subjects this semester, indeed it's gonna be a very hectic life for me. It'll be more challenging as I have taking 2 research methods subjects. I'll have to do a lot of research in uni and outside uni. So guys, can ready to be my target!!! hahaha!!! No la, joking!!
I will post pictures of Taiping and Penang later. Oh yeah I forgot to mention, I moved in a new house, a very nice house of a very nice view of KLCC! Wohoo!!! :) In this house, I don't have internet. So I'm using the internet line that my neighbour is freely sharing. What a generous neighbour I have! :D So yeah the line is very unstable because my neighbour thinks that there are some intruders that steal his/her line. I wonder who!!! :p Will try to post it out as soon as possible.
Yay!!! I was in a season of transition, an chick eagle who was growing to be an adult eagle. My mama always tells me to fly by myself and I keep falling. You know how a mother eagle trains her kids to fly? It's by pushing them off the cliff!!! :| Crazy right? Well that's the season that was very tough for me. But I'm still alive!!! Wohoo!!! Transition is almost over. Yay!!! Tomorrow is gonna be a brand new day! :)
Till now, keep in touch... you all can chat with me on msn, well if im online and that i can chat with u! hehehe... cya!!! :)

Sing To The Lord
This is a new song that we just sung last weekend services. It's indeed a great song. The first time I listened to it, it sounded so familiar. Yes, it's Sing To The Lord from the album of THIS IS OUR GOD.
SING TO THE LORD (HILLSONG)
-verse1-
Righteous Ruler of the heavens
Holy, holy, our God
Sovereign Lord of all creation
Holy, holy, our God
-prechorus-
Every tribe and tongue
Lift your voice as one
He is greatly to be praised
-chorus-
Sing to the Lord, oh my soul
Let the heavens shout for joy
Great is our God
Great is our God
-verse2-
Nations come and bow before Him
Holy, holy, our God
Angels sing now and forever
Holy, holy, our God
-bridge-
The heavens shall declare }
The glory of our great God } (x3)
Jesus, come let us adore Him
Holy, holy, our God
-chorus-
Sing to the Lord, oh my soul
Let the heavens shout for joy
Great is our God
Great is our God
Great is our God
Great is our God
---
This song describes how great God is. Basically it's like the song is telling a story in itself. In the first verse, it describes who is God. He is Righteous, Ruler of the heavens, Holy, and He is the Sovereign and Lord of all creation.
As we go to the Pre-Chorus, it's like turning a page and we can see that it's a different approach. We sing, "every tribe and tongue lifting their voice as ONE!" The next page shows how people from different background, race and countries, such as Chinese, Indians, Malaysians, Africans, Indonesians, Koreans, and Mauritians! ^^, we can all lift our voice as one for our God is greatly to be praised.
Next part is the chorus, I love this part so much! Sing to the Lord O MY SOUL!!! As we sing this song, we ought to sing it with all our soul, all that is inside of us, just pour it out and make a joyful sound by singing out LOUD!!! As we sing with all our soul, the heavens will SHOUT FOR JOY!!! The heavens will shout that Great is Our God and He is the Great One! I went to check in the dictionary what is the meaning of the word GREAT. You'll be amazed to see how GREAT is the word GREAT is! :D
GREAT is unusually or comparatively LARGE in size or dimensions. It is unusual or considerable in Degree, Power, and Intensity. It is Wonderful and Very Good! It is being such in an Extreme or Notable degree. It is Remarkable, Notable and Exceptionally Outstanding (i love this one ^^). It is Distinguished; Famous, Chief or Principal. It is usually described as a person in a High Rank, Official Position, or Social Standing. It's also a person of Extraordinary Powers; having Unusual Merit and Very Admirable (i love that too ^^). Lastly it is also a person who is Skillful and is an Expert.
Wow!!! I'm also impressed by how GREAT is our GOD! =) This is beyond awesomeness!!!
Then when it comes to the 2nd verse, that Nations will come and bow before Him as we all sing with all our soul! As the Angels sing now and forever, we ought to sing the same as angels!
When it comes to the bridge, it's the most exciting part of the song. It's where the Heavens and the earth are connected. Well this is the picture that I had in my mind as I listened and sang this song. It's beautiful! Heavens shall declare the glory of our GREAT GOD! Again our GREAT GOD! Impressive right?
Well that's all that I have to share about this wonderful and beautiful song! WOW!!! This is GREAT! =)
Recently in choir and from good musicians from the worship team, I've learned how to appreciate a song. Every song that I sang, I started to view the meaning of the song. I start to dissect every single part of the song. This is what I did for the song Sing To The Lord. Here's the lyrics and the song itself.

Being kicked in the sleep
I-Ming was the latest happening thing in KL during this Easter 2009. Apparently it's a device, same size as an ipod, could actually go into the past. Isn't that great? Yeah it is and guess what? It was released in Malaysia!!! Too bad, I don't have the picture to show you how it looks like. Basically there's pair of glasses (looks like sunglasses but not lenses) that you have to wear, then you start to key in the date and the time. The system will start to generate and bring out the same memory at that specific time. You can flash back all the good moments of your life!!! Isn't that AWESOME??? Well I have a bad news for those who didn't know the launching of this new device. I-Ming is no longer selling in Malaysia!!! Awwww!!!! Well fear not, I attended the launching and it was all recorded and it'll be on DVD! Want a copy??? Ask me for more info! =)
Today I had my first exam paper. It was quite tough with lots of tricky questions. I was sleepy, very sleepy. This morning I went to treat myself a breakfast McMuffin sausage and egg! It has been a long time that I haven't eaten that. Last night I went to sleep quite late, at around 1am as I was too tired to study but something woke me up in the middle of the night and afterwards I couldn't sleep anymore. Let me tell you what happened to me.
I'm currently sharing a room with 2 people so there's 3 of us in the room and we all sleep on mattress and there's not enough place in this room. I was the first one to go to sleep as I was really tired. Then Ray, my roommate, was on his laptop and he fell asleep on the opposite direction that we all usually sleep. I was sleeping peacefully, then suddenly he kicked me on my TUMMY!!! The way he kicked me it's like kicking football!!! I yelled in pain!!!! It was so painful!!! He woke up a while, looked at me and went back to sleep!!! After that I couldn't sleep anymore and then I went to the living room and prayed and had my devotion and I continued to study. After I came back for exams, Ray also came back and I shouted, "RAY!!! I WANT TO KILL YOU!!!" Then he started to say sorry to me, started to beg me to forgive him. Then he said, "I know I kicked last night, I thought I kicked you on your face, that's why when I looked at you, I didn't see anything, so I went back to sleep!!!" Ray, I still want to kill you!!! hahaha!!! No worries, not literally! hehe... Anyway it was painful!!! Just imagine someone kicking you on your tummy!!! Not funny at all ok? Well fortunately I could still be a hungry person to take my breakfast and lunch! hehehe... I gotta study for tomorow Lifespan Paper now!!! Cheers!!! =)

I've made up my mind! :)
This morning as I prayed and did my devotion unto God, He revealed me something great. God spoke to me and gave me a revelation.
First I read Joshua 1 where it says, "Be strong and be of good courage!"
After reading that I felt very encouraged.
Second I read Matt 25, where it says 3 things inside.
1st - The Bridegroom will come at any time, so I must be prepared.
2nd - He shall make me prosperous, very prosperous indeed!
3rd - He set me apart for greater works.
Lastly, I've received an email from Pastor Robb Thompson and he was sharing this verse in James 1:25, "But if you keep looking steadily into God's perfect law-the law that sets you free-and if you do what it says and don't forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it."
I truly feel very blessed after reading those passages for today. And guess what? I've finally made up my mind. I've decided to go for it! :) Still don't know what is it yet? Well I still want to keep in a suspense. hehe... It will only be official in one month time! :) Till now, stay tune! :)

Should I or should I not???
Last night there was the 1st batch audition for choir ministry. It was my first time ever to audition people, usually I'm the one being auditioned! hahaha! Well it was a great experience and it was hard to make the decision too but it was FUN!!! I've never seen people so scared of me before! hahaha!!! Anyway, if anyone of you who went for audition yesterday, I'm usually a very friendly person. You just need to know me! hahaha!!!
Anyway, after the audition, got a phone call. That phone call shocked me because it leads me to make one of the greatest decision in my life. So the greatest question to ponder now is: Should I go for it or should I not? If I go for it, my capacity will be stretched and people will really depend on me. If I don't go for it, I might miss the greatest chance of my life or maybe it's good for me. Back to the question, should I go for it or should I not?

The Power of Visualization!
These few days I've experienced a lot of powerful things in my life and today I would to share with you one of the most powerful thing that I've learned. It's called the power of visualization. Here it goes.
Yesterday I had a very happy day with lots of blessings. I had to lead choir practice and I was really happy to see 9ppl came up for practice. It really makes me happy to see so many people to come and sing together. It was really an encouragement to me. I was also truly blessed with a hot drink after service by a very good friend of mine as I was coughing these few days. Well the most happiest thing is I had 3 revelation yesterday! I've learned about the power of visualization.
Firstly, Charis Lian was sharing her testimony about how God blessed her in her life as a teenager. Indeed it was very good to hear her testimony on how she is blessed financially. There was something that struck me in while she was sharing. She was sharing on the the power of visualization. She said that she was touched by Pastor Kevin's message year ago when he was preaching on Vision. So she started to visualize her future and how she can be successful in her studies. Indeed she was blessed and had excellent results for her SPM. (9As if im not mistaken). I was pretty amazed by a teenage girl visualizing her future in such a way and in return, she was amazingly blessed. Her uncle blessed her with an amount of 5 figures! Can you believe that? (I hope my uncle is reading this right now!!! LOL!!)
Secondly, after Pastor took up the mic to preach. He was preaching on evagelism and how we should share about our faith to people. So he started to illustrate about a fried rice that someone recommended to him. She said that the fried rice is very nice. Then he replied, "It's just chow fan lah! What's so special about it?" Then she said, "No no!!! This is the best fried rice that you can ever find. This is a special fried rice!" So Pastor was describing exactly how that person explained to him. Here it goes, "It's the best Fried Rice that you've ever tasted in your whole life! The fried rice is very different from all that you have eaten. The fried rice is cooked with salty duck egg. It is ssoooo nice!!! When the fried rice is cooked, you can see how the rice is being surrounded by the egg. Every frangrance of the rice that you put in your mouth, you can feel the tastiness of the egg wrapping the rice and the rice inside, it's so pure, so natural, so delicious!!! The taste is so uncomparable to other fried rice, it's indeed the best fried rice ever!!!" After he described the fried rice, Wow!!! That really made me hungry!!! After that he started to describe the tastiness of a bak kut teh, especially the Klang BKT. hehehe... BKT rocks!!! :D Try to visualize the fried rice. What would it look like? How would it taste like? How will it smell like?
Or maybe like this? with the wonderful and delicious prawns!!!
Does these make you feel Yummy???? =)
Thirdly, I went for my weekly guitar class on the same day itself. I've learned from Andrew about the skills of a musician. We can have skills but if we cannot flow with the song leader and the cell leader, then it's not worth being skillful. We must have a balance in both. Use our skills for the glory of God. Then he shared that every week before the cell group starts, 1hr before, he will be at home and he will start to visualize the entire cell group meeting. So he will run the entire cell group in his mind and then he will go for cell group prepared and able to flow with the cell leader.
Well these 3 revelations in one day really impacted me. Indeed visualizing is a powerful tool. It is so powerful that I will start applying this into my life. I want the people around me to be blessed by me. So as I was going back by car, thanks to Su min for sending me home, I was thinking that I have done my cell group bulletin for the past 1 year now. I would like someone else to rise up in my cell group and to be able to make the bulletin. It's not that I'm fed up of making it, it's just that as time passes by, I will have to rise up for a higher calling already. So I better get myself prepared for my future. So I started to visualize someone who will take up this responsibility in my cell group. Guess what? As Ray, my housemate, came home, he said, "Robin, Robin... I was just thinking of you!!!" This is very unsual that he will just randomly think of me. It sounds pretty much like my brother when he wants something from me. hehehe... Anyway so he said, "Robin I was looking for you, can you teach me how to do cell group bulletin? Do you have time now? Teach me now!" This is so unexpected! I never believe that he would actually ask me to teach him. So I spent around 1hr maybe to teach him everything about how to do the bulletin and what need to be inserted inside. I even thought him the structure of different songs, about what is a verse, chorus, bridge and a pre-chrous. So I taught him the basic technical pieces of a song. As I finished teaching him, he RAN, as in literally, to his laptop and started to do and put into practice what I've taught him. WOW!!! This is really amazing!!!
Another thing that happened was today. I had my presentation for Lifespan Development class. I love this class so much! I really learned a lot of things. My group had to present a talk show in class today and we did it. We didn't have much time to prepare it but praise God that it turned out to be very good indeed. Before I went to present the show, I visualized it to be a good presentation where we will just act and make it an enjoyable and funny talk show. Indeed it was very funny and even the lecturer laughed at me (means good marks), and everybody laughed together. After class, I did received very good feedback from my classmates. Wow!!! See how powerful visualization can be??? It's indeed very powerful!!!
To conclude this post, let me demostrate you the power of visualization. Have you ever eaten a pork burger before??? Well there's no such thing in Malaysia, just too bad! But I have tried one before!!! Not in Malaysia lah!!! :P hahahaha!!! I went to China last December and I had this delicious pork burger and it looked like this...
The pork burger and me! Doesn't it delicious??? :P
So shiny and juicy it is.... hmmm... yumm....
The bread is so crunchy and crunch crunch crunch!!!! Hmm.....
As I put into my mouth... hmmmm.... it's so big.... but still i put into my.. hmmm... mouth.... =)
And the taste is .... hmmm... delicious....
hmm... wait... not delicious... it's more than that...
hmm... I know now... it's just juicy... tender... melting in the mouth...
sooo... wonderfully cooked...
sooo... deep... sooo... filling.... sooo... tasty....
muaacksss!!!!
Let me try the pork meat now... hmm...
hmm.... yum.... uhh?? why are you looking me at me???
Anyway... it's just sooo niiceee!!!! Spruuuuuppptttt!!!!
Miam deliciously good!!!
AWESOMEness!!! :D
So what do you think? Is visualization powerful or not??? hehe...
POWERFUL LAH!!!!

Here it goes, "It's the best Fried Rice that you've ever tasted in your whole life! The fried rice is very different from all that you have eaten. The fried rice is cooked with salty duck egg. It is ssoooo nice!!! When the fried rice is cooked, you can see how the rice is being surrounded by the egg. Every frangrance of the rice that you put in your mouth, you can feel the tastiness of the egg wrapping the rice and the rice inside, it's so pure, so natural, so delicious!!! The taste is so uncomparable to other fried rice, it's indeed the best fried rice ever!!!" After he described the fried rice, Wow!!! That really made me hungry!!! After that he started to describe the tastiness of a bak kut teh, especially the Klang BKT. hehehe... BKT rocks!!! :D Try to visualize the fried rice. What would it look like? How would it taste like? How will it smell like?
Will it look like this???
Or maybe like this? with the wonderful and delicious prawns!!!
Does these make you feel Yummy???? =)
Thirdly, I went for my weekly guitar class on the same day itself. I've learned from Andrew about the skills of a musician. We can have skills but if we cannot flow with the song leader and the cell leader, then it's not worth being skillful. We must have a balance in both. Use our skills for the glory of God. Then he shared that every week before the cell group starts, 1hr before, he will be at home and he will start to visualize the entire cell group meeting. So he will run the entire cell group in his mind and then he will go for cell group prepared and able to flow with the cell leader.
Well these 3 revelations in one day really impacted me. Indeed visualizing is a powerful tool. It is so powerful that I will start applying this into my life. I want the people around me to be blessed by me. So as I was going back by car, thanks to Su min for sending me home, I was thinking that I have done my cell group bulletin for the past 1 year now. I would like someone else to rise up in my cell group and to be able to make the bulletin. It's not that I'm fed up of making it, it's just that as time passes by, I will have to rise up for a higher calling already. So I better get myself prepared for my future. So I started to visualize someone who will take up this responsibility in my cell group. Guess what? As Ray, my housemate, came home, he said, "Robin, Robin... I was just thinking of you!!!" This is very unsual that he will just randomly think of me. It sounds pretty much like my brother when he wants something from me. hehehe... Anyway so he said, "Robin I was looking for you, can you teach me how to do cell group bulletin? Do you have time now? Teach me now!" This is so unexpected! I never believe that he would actually ask me to teach him. So I spent around 1hr maybe to teach him everything about how to do the bulletin and what need to be inserted inside. I even thought him the structure of different songs, about what is a verse, chorus, bridge and a pre-chrous. So I taught him the basic technical pieces of a song. As I finished teaching him, he RAN, as in literally, to his laptop and started to do and put into practice what I've taught him. WOW!!! This is really amazing!!!
Another thing that happened was today. I had my presentation for Lifespan Development class. I love this class so much! I really learned a lot of things. My group had to present a talk show in class today and we did it. We didn't have much time to prepare it but praise God that it turned out to be very good indeed. Before I went to present the show, I visualized it to be a good presentation where we will just act and make it an enjoyable and funny talk show. Indeed it was very funny and even the lecturer laughed at me (means good marks), and everybody laughed together. After class, I did received very good feedback from my classmates. Wow!!! See how powerful visualization can be??? It's indeed very powerful!!!
To conclude this post, let me demostrate you the power of visualization. Have you ever eaten a pork burger before??? Well there's no such thing in Malaysia, just too bad! But I have tried one before!!! Not in Malaysia lah!!! :P hahahaha!!! I went to China last December and I had this delicious pork burger and it looked like this...
The pork burger and me! Doesn't it delicious??? :P
So shiny and juicy it is.... hmmm... yumm....
The bread is so crunchy and crunch crunch crunch!!!! Hmm.....
As I put into my mouth... hmmmm.... it's so big.... but still i put into my.. hmmm... mouth.... =)
And the taste is .... hmmm... delicious....
hmm... wait... not delicious... it's more than that...
hmm... I know now... it's just juicy... tender... melting in the mouth...
sooo... wonderfully cooked...
sooo... deep... sooo... filling.... sooo... tasty....
muaacksss!!!!
Let me try the pork meat now... hmm...
hmm.... yum.... uhh?? why are you looking me at me???
Anyway... it's just sooo niiceee!!!! Spruuuuuppptttt!!!!
Miam deliciously good!!!
AWESOMEness!!! :D
So what do you think? Is visualization powerful or not??? hehe...
POWERFUL LAH!!!!

A time of breakthrough!!!
When I see myself in this stretched season, it is for the best reason.
In my limitation, He shall be my expansion.
When I'm stretched, His outstretched hands shall save me such a wretch.
Life can be unfair, but with God I can bear.
When nothing seems to be lucrative, but that's where He makes me to be positive and creative.
Yes!!! I give my best, and He shall take care of the rest,
In this time of breakdown, it's the right time where I'm gonna breakthrough!!!
(Robin Chan, 2009)

Lesson for the day
-Lesson for the day-
Men are project-based whereas women are feeling-based.
Men tries to find solution in every single problem. Well it's a good thing but also a bad thing. It's bad towards girls. Guys, never try to give solution when a girl is sharing out her problem. Just simply listen to her. They don't want you to solve their problems but they just need someone to listen to them. They can solve the problem all by themselves, they can seem weak but sometimes they can be stronger than us. Offer your help only if they are asking you to. Women are more feeling-based. They need to feel that you care for them and that you're there for them in times of need. They expect words of encourage to know that they can face these problems by themselves.
It's a very short thing but it's very useful, don't take it for granted guys out there!

UCSI Block A Cafeteria
I am now in Uni blogging. The internet here is very super duper slow and even facebook and ebuddy can't be opened. Well this is how it is now! Today I want to blog about my uni life. I haven't blog about it for quite a while I think. Anyway, let's start now!
Today I went to Uni and I went for lunch in block A Cafeteria. To tell you the truth, I haven't eating there for the past 1 year although that I walk by there everyday. The reason that I haven't been eating there because last time there used to be an aunty who was selling a mixture of economical rice (chak fan), and some western food such as spagetti, macaroni, well some other pastas basically. That's why her corner to sell the food is called Western Delights. UCSI students should know that. So yeah last time I used to eat there everyday because the aunty used to give me discounts and some extra dishes. I'll eat a lot and mostly around RM4-5. Whenever I eat there, my friends would be jealous of me because they take the same thing but it's more expensive for them and they don't get any extras. After some time, the aunty started to lose customers so, she charged me more expensive for a very little food only. :( That was quite sad and I stopped eating there ever since. Guess what happened after some time? She got bankrupt and closed her stall. Awww.... Well it's not my fault if she started to charge me more expensive. She was a bit rascist towards the Nigerian students where she charged them RM8+. So pity of them. Well if she wanted to be successful in her business, she had to be nice to other students also, not to be choosy. Now you can see what happen when someone is choosy. So Don't BE CHOOSY!!! Be equal towards everyone!
After some more time... the stall reopens again and sold the same thing but taken over by the stall next door who were selling drinks only. To be honest the food is good there, but it's too expensive to eat there. Today I went there and I don't know what was the reason. I bought water as water finished in my house and I sat down and drank. Suddenly I was hungry and I went to buy the food at that stall. So knowing that it'll be expensive, I didn't take much, I ate very little and it costed me RM4.50! =/ So expensive!!! If I eat chak fan, I take the same amount that I took today and it'll cost me around RM3 something. Can you believe that??? Ok some of you might think that I'm very stingy but wouldn't you eat something nice and make you full for a cheap price or you prefer to eat something nice and expensive and won't make you full at all? Must buy value for money!! (that's the expression my mum always uses!)
The other thing that I've noticed about the block A Cafeteria, during lunch time I used to see my friends around. But this time, I've seen none of my friends around, not even a single one! So you see, it's not only me who feels like that. My friends also feel that the cafeteria has been selling their food so expensive.
Conclusion, I won't eat there anymore. Not only because it's expensive, but from what I ate today, it was not nice at all! There was a long hair in my food!!! Yerrr....

AWESOMEness!!!
These 2 days, I had awesome days!!!
Yesterday I was supposed to meet John, my friend from Mauritius, in KL. But I couldn't reach him and he couldn't reach me. So I didn't get to meet him. Then Zoey called me and asked me if I wanna go for movie. So I went for movie and watched 7 Pounds with her together with Jet, Kricia and Li Hui. Basically yesterday we started a conversation on AWESOMEness. As a result, we are known as the AWESOMEness gang! hahaha! Indeed everything went awesome when I started to hang out with them. It was great. I learned a new expression called AWESOMEness. There's no such word in the dictionary but according to Jet's definition, it's the most awesome thing ever, it's greater than the word awesome in itself. I don't know how but it's just like that! :P hehe... Anyway we watched an awesome movie where at first I didn't get it at all... but have to watch until the very end then I understood the awesomeness of the movie! :D
Last night I received a phone call from John. He could finally reached me and I was so impatient upon his call. Anyway, so we planned to meet up today and so we did. I went to meet him up at Times Square and we had Starbucks!!! Wow it was awesome!!! The last time I had starbucks was in Taiwan at Taipei 101. Wow I can still remember that! My memory is still good! hahaha! So yeah I had my usual Jaya Chip Ice blended and it tasted so good and so long that I haven't had it! Awesome taste! Then afterwards we went to KLCC petronas twin towers. John got the tickets to go up there. Wow!!! AWESOMEness!!! After looking at the view from top there, we went to Pasar Seni, where we went to the Central Market. Before heading to the central market, we both didn't had our lunch and it was 4 something. So we went to a chinese stall nearby in Pasar Seni and guess what we ate? CHAR KUEY TEOW!!!! It was an awesome one! He loved it so much. Not only it was cheap but it was the nicest thing that he has ever eaten for that price. Then he kept saying that KL is very good place to eat. Everywhere he walks, can find a place to eat. The awesome thing I did when I ordered the Char Kuey Teow, I spoke Chinese to the uncle!!! Isn't it awesome??? LOL! As soon as we finished, we headed to the Central Market. Bought some souvenirs there and some indoor games such as brain teaser games. :P He loves those games a lot! Afterwards we went to eat at OldTown Coffee shop and he has never eaten Kaya before. For him Kaya is a singer like Bob Marley. We used to have a Mauritian famous reggee/sega singer called Kaya. But he was assasinated a few years ago. Then he was saying, "huh Kaya is still alive? I thought he died very long time ago!" Then I had to tell him that Kaya is something like peanut butter. hehe... Oh before the OldTown, I brought him to fish SPA! hahaha!!! It was fun to see him laughing at it once he put his feet inside the basin! hahaha! It was awesome, that's what he said! :)
Well that's how the malaysianized Robin showed this Mauritian friend around in KL. And oh... I just bought my TouchNGo card!!! Finally I got it! :D I had to buy it before I get criticized by my friend to rush coz the train is here already. Last time we missed the train because of me, I didn't have the TouchNGo card. Well that's another story, I'll keep it for next time. It's not so awesome story to share anyway. I just wanted to share how awesome was these 2 days! So have I reached the AWESOMEness yet???

I want something new in my blog!!!
Alright! I'm back to blogging again... but I'm not sure for how long... coz I'm planning to shift blog coz I really need to change my blog's layout... I think that it's too dull. I'm the type of person who can't always look at the same plain color all the time. I like something new and creative. Something fresh that will come out and when people look at it, they will say WOW!!! Well the feeling of making something new it's since I started to do my cell group bulletin. Ok if you don't know what is a bulletin, it's basically a sheet of paper where all the info about what is happening in our church and our cell group. We also have the songs and the sermon outline where u just fill in the blanks.
I've been designing my cell group bulletin for a year now and I've changed a lot in my skill of doing those. I always thought that I'm not a creative person because I'm not very good in arts as in drawing. I grew up with people knowing arts in terms of drawing and painting but I was a zero in that. The thing that made think that I was just a dummy guy, made me be a dummy guy! Pat Mesiti said this, "If you want to change things in your life, you got to change the way you think! Change your mindset!" From that day onwards, my life has changed. I became a person who strive for a better things. More of creativity in my life, thinking out of the box all the time and make people happy all around me. That's what creativity is all about. Since I've joined City Harvest Church, my life has changed tremediously! I was very naive to think that I can't be creative. But creativity is not only about drawing. It can be anything, as far as you change the way you used to think and think out of the box and make things happen. To be creative comes from the word create. So it's to create something new! Pastor Kong challenged us during the last Emerge 08, to be creative because God is a creative God. How to know that? Look in the first book of the Bible and the first verse itself, it says, "In the beginning, God CREATED the heavens and the earth!" In the very beginning of our existence, God created, that proves that He is a creative God and so we should do so as well. That word really striked me and from that time, my life was never the same again. I always strive to be more creative and skillful.
I AM BORN TO BE A CREATIVE PERSON! :)

A busy week till I forgot about my bro leaving to Aussie!
Last week has been one of the busiest week of my life. I had 3 assignments and 1 quiz and it was everyday I had to submit one and I had to study for the quiz. I had one sleepless night where I really worked very hard on my assignment. I had this assignment that I have to write about my opinion about pregnancy and I can tell you, it's not that easy but it was fun! :) I've learned a lot of things about pregnancy by doing this assignment. Indeed I admire all the mothers of the world who has been pregnant and carry their babies for 9 long months!!! Well I praise God for my mum also, it has been a very good time for her being pregnant of me and she had the strength and the courage to bore 2 more children (my 2 siblings). Moms are special, so better treat them well as they get older and older! :)
----
Alright I started this post for very long time but I haven't finish it, so now it's time to finish it...

As time just goes by, I didn't realised that my brother was going to Australia for his studies. Well I knew that he was going there, I even wrote the date down in my calendar, but I was so packed up with assignments and stuffs that I didn't really get to call him and wish him goodbye. Ok I know it sounds a bit insane, coz i'm here and he was in Mauritius leaving for Australia and to wish him goodbye. Well that's my brother, and im the big brother, you must understand the role of a big brother! It's not an easy task to be a big brother. I have to set the right example, so that my siblings can follow my footsteps someday. Alright, although that they don't follow it at 100%, at least I must make sure that they are on the right track. Hahaha!!! Ok this is going to get so touching. Although it seems to be irrating for them, i still love them. And I want the best for themselves. Ok I'm not right all the time, it's ok, im sometimes wrong, but I have this urge in me of being their elder sibling and I have this huge responsibility under me. I know that most of the time I was wrong in their eyes, but now since i'm in Malaysia, I learned that being far away from them is a way to communicate better. Somehow distance may be hard to understand each other, but distance sometimes brings us back together! Distance also made me realise that there's a lot of things that i have done wrong but they still remember and put the blame on me. Well distance made me learn a great lesson; although the past wrong things we have done, we are still gonna be siblings for life and we are still gonna be a strong family together! :)
Well my brother has left for Australia. I'm a bit sad but I'm also happy at the same time. He can finally go and pursue his degree! Wohooo!!! Despite of some conflict with parents (well I experienced that too), he can still go there! My dear brother, if ever you're reading this, I wish you all the best. Be a good boy, study well and serve God with all your heart! :) I don't have to tell you to play well, as I know you will play games anyway! :P hehehe... For all the things that I have done wrong in your eyes, sorry for that, I'm still learning to be the best brother I can be. Life is like a school where we keep on learning and learning. So be patient with me, I know that i have to be patient first as you always think that i don't have enough patience with you and nobody seems to understand you. Well I'm learning that too. :) Well do keep in touch while you're there, don't be so arrogant and fly on your wings! Remember your nest too! hehehe...
I miss my brother!!!

I bit my char kuey teow tongue!!!
Yesterday Edi called me and asked if I wanted to go to pasar malam. It was around 6PM and usually if I want to go to pasar malam, I won't go that early because not all the stalls are opened. But since it was not raining and that I haven't been to pasar malam since last year, I told myself, "Yeah why not?" So I went to meet Edi nearby there and we walked and it was quite empty as merchants were opening their stalls.
Usually if I go to pasar malam, I will eat one and only thing for sure. It's the Char Kuey Teow of the pasar malam. For me to buy it and to eat it, I have to walk until the end of the pasar malam to be able to get it and I can tell you, it's quite far. Taman Connaught is well-renowed for the longest pasar malam in KL. It's around 2-3KM. So Edi and I walked and walked until we found some snacks to eat. We walked while eating the snacks till we reached the famous char kuey teow and I could smell it from few distance away as I came near. The fragance of it would perfume every place around it. When I reached the place, I started to order and it's only RM3.80!!!

Yummy it is, right? Well yes it is indeed!!! I asked for a take away to bring it back home to eat it up! I was so excited to hold the hot and tasty and famous char kuey teow of pasar malam. I couldn't wait to go home and eat it up!
As soon as we reached home, finally the time has come to unwrap it and start to devour the char kuet teow! After unwrapping it, mixed it with the chilli and it's ready to be eaten alive! hahaha!!! I started to devour it, like a lion who will devour its prey. I ate and ate and guess what? It was so deliciously appetizing that I actually bit my tongue!!!! OUCH!!! Now it's very painful!!!
Well that's the case of not eating a Char Kuey Teow for very long! So if you have any cravings, just go for it, don't just wait for very long like me to eat it. Else you'll end up bitting your tongue too!!! hehehe...

Some late updates - Measles and CNY
Okay I'm back to blogging! YAY!!! I've been quite busy with a lot of things since the new semester has started. Well this new year is starting up with a lot of challenges already, which is good. hehehe...
After a very busy week, I was struck with measles. I actually didn't know but on Wednesday when I woke up, I felt very hot. I went to wash my face and still I felt myself hot. I felt that I couldn't go for classes that day. Indeed it was true. Edi saw my face reddish and recommended me to go and see the doctor. So he accompanied me to see the doctor nearby. As the doctor examined me, my whole body was full of rashes. I was shocked!!! Then the doctor said that I was struck with measles and that I have to stay at home for 7 days. He actually counted the days till Chinese New Year(CNY) ends. That's so unfair. I cannot say it's discrimination coz he's also chinese what! I think he purposely didn't want me to celebrate CNY!!!
Anyway I was sentenced to stay under a quarantine of 7 days!!! 7 days!!! Can you believe that??? How to survive??? As a first thought, it'll be quite hard for me as all my housemates went back to their hometown for CNY and I was the only one left alone. Just imagine, no CNY, no nice and delicious abundance food, no ang pow and no friends, how to survive in this CNY season???
Well I didn't lose hope! :) I prayed and got better! The first 3 days I was full with rashes and I was quite weak but on the 4th day, I was feeling well already. It just happened that I had sore throat the day before and I lost my voice. Yes!!! I was voiceless for 2 days!!! Actually I can whisper but did you know that when you whisper you're actually using more strength and talking itself? Well that's what I learned from Google all the while I was stuck at home. When you lost your voice, don't try to whisper, it damages your vocal cord. So yeah the 4th day, I couldn't stand that I'll be staying at home for the next 3 days. So since I was completely well apart from voice-less, I decided to go to church, since there was service on that day. It was really good to feel the air, go out, see traffic jam, see people all around and i could see the blue sky!!! On the other hand, I don't regret of going to church that day, coz Su Min invited me to his house family reunion dinner the next day as he saw me in church. He thought, "Why Robin didn't go back to his hometown for CNY?" Well Robin is from Mauritius and it's very far to travel here and there especially when there's only 2 flights per week. So when he called me the next day, I got back my voice already!!! :D I could finally talk and I immediately accepted his invitation. He even came to fetch me. Wow!!! What a blessed and wonderful day it was! :D I had abundance of food that day!
The next day, Jessie, my subteam member, asked me if I wanna come over to her house for CNY than going there on Wednesday. Yeah I was supposed to go there on Wednesday but actually I got an invitation to go there earlier as the first day of CNY, that's the best of all the days! Well she came all the way to Subang to fetch me from Cheras and back there to her house! It's indeed a blessing. Then I met her family, her 2 brothers and the sis in law and the nephews and niece. Those kids are really cute!!! I got to have a few picture with them too. I also had a lot to eat there too and I received my ang pows there! I tell you, I'm really blessed. After sickness, I wouldn't believe that I could actually benefit from all these. It's indeed a blessing!
After spending the whole day at Jessie's house, she sent me back home but before that we decided to go yum cha and we called Zoey to join us as well. hehehe... As we went to SS15, all the shops were closed apart from mamak of course but we didn't want to go mamak. So in the end, we went to McD to have a large refillable sprite and we share among us 3! :) It was a fun time together and we just shared of how we spent our day! Then on my way back, Michi msged me and asked me if I wanna go open house around. Actually she didn't tell me where to go also. Then Zoey also messaged me and said that if I have no plans, I could go to her place and visit her family. Well I did both, I went with Michi, where we went to Galdon's house. Spent quite some time there till 3pm! Then afterwards I headed to KL Sentral and took KTM to go to Subang to go to Zoey's house. Reached there, spent some time with her family then we went to eat a sushi king in Subang Parade. I was really blessed by her dad because he sent me all the way back to Cheras. I only realized it when we reached Midvalley. Anyway, it was a fruitful and blessed time with all these families. I really felt that I'm being part of all these families as they all treated me well. It was indeed a very good time! :)
On the 3rd day of CNY, I went to Zoey's place again and to Jessie's place again. I decided that I'll cook something for them. I cooked the famous dish in Mauritius - the Rougaille Corn Beef!!! :D Ok you must learn French from me first so that you can actually pronounce it! hehe... Then Jessie prepared some spagetti and bolonaise and we all ate everything together while we watched IP man on DVD. Yeah the subtitle is very "good" coz it's direct translation from Cantonese to English! So I watched the movie, quite confused but I tried to understand even tho! hehehe... Oh btw it's a very nice movie!!! It's a must watch movie! :) After watching the movie, we cleaned up and rushed to Midvalley to watch INKHEART!!! :D hehehe... Movie marathon it was that day! Well on Wednesday, it was not a public holiday but there was a long queue to our surprised as we reached there. We were wondering if we could make it for the movie or not. Well actually we did! Ok not bad, we had the 3rd row to the screen and it was a nice movie! :)
Well that's where the last day of CNY ended for me! The next day I had to go back for classes already. How I wish I could have longer CNY holidays. Well but everything has to come to an end sooner or later. Hope you all enjoy reading this long post! :P hehehe

3 miracles in 3 days!!!
Here I am back to KL after a very long and tiring trip but all AWESOME!!! I will post about it in my next post. Today I want to share about something great beside back to classes. Well I have to post about that also anyway. hehehe... Ok back to the main topic, 3 miracles in 3 days!!!
DAY 1
Monday, the first day I went back to school after 2 months of holidays, my wardrobe was locked for many days. So when I came back, I had to open it. Once I put the key in, the lock broke!!! I tried to open it so many times but in vain. Then I got an idea. Since my wardrobe was not completely screwed, so I seperated it into half so that I can open the lock from inside. But unfortunately I couldn't find my screwdriver. Then I realised that I borrowed to Linet last time. So I had to ask somebody else who stays nearby. So I asked Caleb instead. As I got the screwdriver, I had to screw the lock out from inside. As I did it, it didn't come out. I don't know why it didn't come out. I tried all my best but in vain. :( Now read this properly! I prayed and made a simple prayer, "God, help me to open this wardrobe's lock in Jesus' Name!" Then I pushed the lock inside, pushed again and I heard a 'click' sound! I pushed it again and it came out!!! Wow!!! PRAISE GOD!!! :D
DAY 2
During the whole day I was doing well. Good weather and I eat properly. That morning I even did my big business in the WC and I could digest all well. That afternoon as I came back from school, I don't know what happened that I had a stomach ache and I got diarrhea within seconds. Okay I know it's disgusting but keep reading first. My stomach was so pain and I was suffering terribly. Then I prayed, "God, help me, take away this pain from me!" Few seconds later, the pain was gone, totally gone!!! Can you believe that? I had no more pain! PRAISE GOD!!! :D
DAY 3
Today, I went to Giant to buy some stuffs for breakfast. Then I saw the Corn Flakes and I wanted to buy. But the problem is that on one shelf it's RM9.36 and on another shelf it's RM8.99. How can it be? Usually if my mum was there, she'll complain and everything. Well I got confused myself, should I buy or not buy? I checked at the price machine and it was RM9.36. Hmm... how can it be? They said got BIG DISCOUNT there. I was still walking by and taking other stuffs and I don't know how but I walked nearby the cashier where there's the manager counter. So I walk by that counter and said to the guy there, "How much is this?" Then he checked and said that it was RM9.36. Weird right? Then I told him that there it's written RM8.99. So he went and check and I went together with him to show him. Then he told me, "Take the price tag and show to the cashier, I give you discount!" Wow!!! Praise GOD!!! :D Then I got the discount with any problem! AWESOME!!!
Well guys and girls out there, God does listen to prayers. I really praise God for 3 consecutive days there was a miracle in my life after I prayed. Well for the manager counter encounter, I really didn't expect it. I didn't even know this was even there. But I believe God led me to walk there! :) I've learned a great thing today, although I'm faithful in praising God in those small things, God will continue to be faithful in the greater things that is yet to come! All glory to GOD! :)
