Spain - Lloret de Mar

I'm sorry for posting this travelogue of mine late.. I've been very busy lately..hehe..

Well..on the 19^th January my friend and I took a flight to Spain for an 8-day trip in Spain.Indeed it was a memorable one.There was so much that I wanna blogged about but if I had posted all at one time I would sound like an old whinny Grandma…So I decided to post bit by bit…hehe..

Lloret de Mar- We stayed in Lloret de Mar,a beach town (one of the most popular Costa Brava beaches in Mediterranean) primarily known as a tourist resort. It is 75 km from Barcelona. To me, the beach is not that great but it's a great place to stay if you're a retiree.However there's lotsa tourist there(mostly senior citizens)

Spain

Hey people... I will be leaving for Spain in 4 hours time..So will be updating pictures on it when I come back ..

Mercy Me by Homesick

i had lost many ppl that were close to me .As I browsed thru the internet,I came across this song.I guessed the Lord wanted to show me something...


You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

I miss them..

My winter holiday had started for about 2 weeks now but at this moment of my life I kinda missed my group mates ...Some of them are in malaysia now.. Im home sick..

Group picture + Our urology professor in the lecture hall.

My Topography anatomy professor (though I suck in the subject)
Our Cadaver!!

So cute!!!!

ChesterField in Moscow..

Didn't really managed to catch alot of pictures due to the quality of the camera..I'll make sure one of my new year's resolution to buy a good camera will come true...Just a normal Digital Camera will do..Even if I have something with a very good spec I will not know how to use it.Maybe something like this will do....
My fren ordered Pasta Alfredo..It looked nice but its very dry when you put it in your mouth, even Sahara Desert was not that dry (when it's supposed to be cheezy and creamy).Even Char kue Teow wasn't that dry.. and it costed RM20++ (not worth the money)


I ordered something which I thought would be safe.. Chicken Grill... (RM30++) it tasted horrible.. coz the blood was still oozing out when I cut the chicken.. Undoubtedly the chicken was very juicy but with the blood ...hey sorry...


At least I enjoyed my frens company and we managed to pull out some few stupid stunts in the bar ,laughed and chit chatted for a few hours there.. People around the bar was waiting for us to leave (i think) coz we're really very noisy..

Well, that's how i spent my holiday now...

Whoose Who?

Whoose the most naive of all?

Whoose the flower girl?


Who looks more like a hamster?


Whoose lower teeth is uglier?



Who looks like an ET?


Whoose the Darlie gal?


WHoose the most creative?



Who has the shortest tongue?



Whoose the craziest of all?



Whoose the piggiest of all?



Whoose the ugliest?

Whoose nostril hole the biggest?


WHoose tongue the longest?


Whoose the scariest of all? ("The Ring" from 3 different wells!!)

Not everything that glitters is gold!!

My parents knew their gold: each other, their five children, and their faith. They tried to live uncluttered lives so that they could have time for what was most important.

They didn't busy themselves buying a bigger house, because that would mean working harder to pay the monthly mortgage, doing overtime work or taking a second job. Who would then go jogging with me? Who would read story for me?

They didn't burden themselves buying a expensive car because that would mean laboring and worrying about installment bills. Besides, walking to the shopping center every Saturday afternoon with me gave my dad his needed exercise, and made me feel so special.

One of the delights of my heart was seeing Dad and Mom in their bedroom at night. The lights were turned off, and I'd see the silhouette of my father seated on his old chair and mom standing behind him, gently massaging his shoulders. I'd hear them talk about what transpired during their day. Even as a child, I sensed their quiet pleasure at being together.

My question today: Could they have done this rich ritual each night and nourished their marriage if they had been busy paying for designer outfits for themselves or their kids, or if they had been worrying about monthly bills for new hi-tech appliances? I don't think so. And I've made a choice: I don't want that kind of life either.

And now I realize that the real gold in our life, is our family, a life long precious gem which we must remember and treasure like a given gift!

2oo7 quick run down..

2oo7 had definitely been a great year for me.. well, there's ups and downs of it but hey im an optimistic gal.here's a quick run down of my cliche life in 2oo7..

JANUARY

I spent my winter holidays in Egypt with a bunch of great friends..hehe... the Pyramid of Giza amazed me with its beautiful structure..Honestly I've never thought that "it's" that gargantuan..


FEBRUARY

Dong Dong Dong DOng Chiang...Happy Chinese New Year. I was one of the organizing comittee that help out in the Chinese New Year open house in Spartive hostel which was held first time in the history of MMA..It was tiring because lotsa fund raising needed to be done to make this event happen but its worth it when I see the joy in the faces of those who came.(at times I grumble.. hehe)
MARCH

This month marked an important chapter in my life where it is the month where the Malaysian Fellowship is launched and I was honored to be given the opportunity to serve in the ministry.

APRIL

This is an extremely busy month for me coz in this very month a 3 series of R-factor (relationship factor) talk was held in Yunost hotel near my hostel. And the MF( malaysian fellowhip) members planned a supper treat for those who came...Phew... trust me cooking for 200 people for 3 consecutive weeks at that moment seemed so impossible.But thank God that everything went on well.

MAY

Participated in preparing for BBQ food for the football mania .(Seriously this one was tiring coz the weather was cold and at the end of the day I smelled like BBQ chicken) & I enrolled myself as one of the Game Leaders. (This was not tiring but because it rained, all of us needed to endure the rain while playing but I enjoyed it.I wished I could have the chance to play next year).
It was also one the hardest month to cope with coz I need to study very hard for the final colloq( test) in order to gain excess to the final exam in June.But God is good.


JUNE

This month concluded the end of my third year with exellent results which I couldnt even imagine and all credit goes to Him. yay.. back in malaysia for holiday.As soon as I was back in my hometown for holiday my dad and I grabbed this chance to visit my uncle who's now in the heaven.(passed away in the year of 2006).We both decorated his burial grounds with ample white roses and prayed for him.His death was a painful one to me and I missed him alot.

JULY

July 4th marks the beginning of my attachment in Hospital Seri Manjung. I would say that its a great experience but not a pleasant experience. I was not a people type of person.I didnt talk to people whom I just knew for a day or two.Thus, you know, In the hospital,its all new to me. I was shy to ask. Sigh..what to do..

AUGUST

I went for a trip to Genting with a bunch of my block mates from moscow..But somehow things just happened for no reason.At the same time when I was on my way to KL, I received a call from sister that my Dad had dengue and was admitted to the hospital.I wanna come back for my Dad but because 1/2 of the rooms in Genting hotel was booked with my name.So if I ditched my frens, apparently they would had to sleep on the streets if there was no room availability.But thanked God, daddy was okayed and asked me to enjoy myself.At that moment I broke down into tears coz I couldnt forgive myself(of course nobody knew).In the end, my trip to Genting was not the one that I anticipated.

This month was a terrible month for me coz I received all sorts of news this month.
1) Dad had dengue, then diagnosed with silent IHD but still smoking and yet didnt take his medicine
2).Mom was diagnosed with Diabetes and nearly went into glycaemic coma due to overdosage of the diabetic drugs prescribed by incompetent doctors.
3)I had numbness on my left hand like my mom which I believed was Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
4)My sister's boyfriend hit my sister and caused a stir in the peaceful home of mine.
5)Financial crisis which my mom hid from me since June.
6)Problematic relatives who was causing my faith to stumble.(who said that the reason for all the unfavourable things that happened was because my family members were not Christians)

SEPTEMBER

New semester started.But I felt worst.Try as much as possible to hide myself away from bible study and prayer meeting and church.

OCTOBER and NOVEMBER

In the end of the day,God saved me.And I thank God for that. But somehow deepdown inside I agreed to my relatives which I really hated myself for that.But no doubt..God is very very kind towards me.Somehow I just wish that He can pass some of it to my family.I know that God loves every1 equally but there was just some faraway voices which ran thru my auricle everyday.

Oh ya...the launching of my BLOG.

I was one of the committee for the Sechenov Unity Games 2007 which I was responsibled for the preparations of the stalls during the games.And I managed to team up with a friend for a table tennis match.Sadly to say we fell last place but hey its the experience and participation that counts right.(this was what usually loser say when they lose)

DECEMBER

Started to fast for Christmas.Was the F&B director for Christmas Bash Charity Concert 2007 featuring Jaclyn Victor and an amount of 125000 rouble (5000 USD) was donated to the Children's Hope Orphanage .It's tiring but when knowing that lotsa kids would be taken care off, its all worth it.Saw farhahjohanisse and her daughter running around the VIP room during the Christmas Bash. Saw mak farhah and her daughter farhahjohanisse in the VIP room.Wanna say hi but Im shy.sigh... But anyway I felt very very happy for it.. Coz she was the first blogger that I met personally.
