Carissa Sammy

What with all the many dramas happening in life and the crazy amount of gigantic waves, my sister came at a perfect timing and we went to Sheraton Hotel for a break away from everyone and everything that wasn’t positive! Teehee!

During the stay in Sheraton, as if by God’s perfect timing, I met Nick Vujicic who were in Malaysia at the same time to give this motivational talk. We were by the pool(and I can’t get into the pool cos of stuffs) and so I was sun bathing(lies.i don’t do sunbathing what with being so dark already! -_-!!) and lying peacefully on the chair/bed when he came and spoke to us.

At first I was just so impressed because he was walking and trying the pool water(with what he calls his drumstick! ) and thereafter went for a swim! And all that without limbs okay!

Then when he spoke to me I was pretty much so impressed I was kinda speechless. I maybe oklah fine, was stammering a little bit cos so nervous! And I kinda remembered him from watching youtube somewhere long time ago. And so fail cos I told him that! -_-!! He was so humble to come and speak so nicely and I think he knew I was kinda shy! Haahaa! It’s true okay! So shy! But he was just so kind and we took photos with him!

Okay, maybe some of you don’t know who he is but here’s a video you must watch of his life testimony.

Anyway, after that I went to google about him somemore to refresh my memory of him and it was so amazing that I literally cried watching some of his videos. His motto? Attitude is Altitude! So inspiring and totally what I needed to hear at this point of my life!

I believe that God places the perfect people in your midst so you can understand life better. It’s like a little reminder of Him watching over us. I am so glad! Who would have thought that I would stumble upon this great disciple of Christ just when I needed an escape from life? Well, God did.

Do you trust in me? I would say yes God, I do. I think after that, Imma just have faith and trust with my whole heart.

Never give up. Not even if you’ve fallen a thousand and one times. I’m holding on to that. It’s carved deeply in my heart.

Isaiah 40:31 (New International Version)

³¹ but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Mummy and daddy’s always there!

Me Lovely sisters to play and laugh with!

The meet ups with high school friends! <3!

Mummy’s awesome cooking! But this one I helped baked for mother’s day! Teehee! Oh yes, an oven to bake in! :’)

Rainbows! I swear you see a rainbow every other day! It’s so beautiful! This one is captured when I was walking around my house garden. Hohoho!

Sundrops! I know you KL peeps love this! Believe it or not, Kuching is the place where they produce this amazing drink! And I love home cos I have these kinda drinks in my fridge always always always!

Oh yes, the lovely garden! So lovely to have a place to walk in after being so sick of sitting in the house! What’s more amazing is the flowers in the garden! why can’t I have mummy’s green hands?! sobs! So beautiful!

My piggy slippers! So cute can?!

*****

Anyhoo, these are some of the lovely things I love about being home. I haven even included the pictures of my lovely tv, aircond, bed, kampua mee, kolo mee(actually I only eat mee pok; which is the version of kolo mee with different noodles because the original noodles of kolo mee looks like brain i scared), sarawak laksa, sio bee, my steamed peanuts(I am so addicted to this!), bubur cha cha, the three layer teh si peng, the yam and chicken puff(I seriously dislike yam but for this pie, it’s just awesome I also dunno why?!), butter bun(I have NO IDEA why KL don’t sell any of these! Only have potato bun! Cis!), my trampoline(actually only write this cos I wrote so much food so sinful so must put trampoline to show I also got exercise! Is lies! ), my car!(can go anywhere! but sad to say it’s not like I know all the roads also. Malu!), Kakak!(cos don’t need to do any housework! ai lub her ) and so on.

WHY OH WHY AGAIN SO MANY FOOD! I AM SO OBSESS WITH FOOD! -_-!! I PRAY TO BE OBSESS WITH EXERCISE CAN?! *KNOCKS HEAD WITH FOOD THEN EATS IT HOHOHO!*

Hello hello! This is gonna be a short short post to tell you all that yes I am still very much alive. Teehee!

Anyhoo, I just only got back from a date with B and it is so random because we wanted to just catch dinner and then How to train your dragon because EVERYONE told me it’s that awesome and I needed wanted to just see how good it really is.

But! Though I booked online, by the time I get off work and got there, it’s far too late for my ticket reservations and the seats were all full! Rawr! So we thought why not watch Ice Kacang Puppy Love – a Malaysian made movie instead because two very good friends of ours said that it’s a must watch and that she’s gonna watch it for the SECOND time if it’s possible! Wah! Since got such good reviews, we just bought those tickets and and it’s a huge deal because, well, because I am a bit skeptical like that and would not want to waste good money on not so good movies.

Anyhoo, not happy still, we decided we want to catch How to train your dragon no matter what and immediately bought those tics too which was at 11.15pm. Teehee! Movie marathon! It’s feels far too long since I last spent on watching good movies.

Anyhoo, my point is, the Malaysian made movie is really good! Like really! I loved it so very much. It was honest, surreal, and the main reason why I loved it so much is that it made me laugh and cry all throughout and I didn’t once feel bored!

Come to think about it, I know the actors are not so good looking but they were good actors all the same. I loved the fact that I hear my mother tongue being spoken in the movie itself and it made me laugh so hard because I can just relate on how we actually speak like that sometimes! Teehee!

The storyline were really good as well, it wasn’t all sappy and predictable. In fact, my only disappointment would be the ending of the movie because I for one believe in happily ever after and well, it was very much reality based. Sigh!

***

SPOILER, PLEASE DON’T READ AHEAD IF YOU’D RATHER WATCH THE MOVIE YOURSELF, HEHEH! : I wish he would end up with her. I wish he would take the courage to just tell her how much he loves her. I wish he would not give up so easily after cycling so very far and gotten hit by a motorcycle and a bus but not have enough guts to give her the letter in his pocket or to just tell her not to leave. I wish she would maybe tell him that she don’t want to go and ask him to ask her not to leave. It’s so sad that they are so in love but it just didn’t work out because one did not have enough guts?! or should I say, one did not believe in their love enough to actually pursue it. I don’t know. But what is good is that eventually they move on and find somebody new. That, though would not be the choice I would have made, is good enough to show that there is hope in love; in meeting somebody new. What if though? What if they do meet at the street again? Would the love then comes back? I wonder.

To know what I am talking about, I truly think you should go to the cinema right now and watch that lovely movie already! I am so ready to purchase the dvd once it’s out. Yes I loved it that much! And no, no one’s paying me to promote the movie.

Here’s the trailer:

And to know more about the movie please click here.

Oh and How to train your dragon is good too. I likey! I think what speaks to me most in this movie is that we don’t have to be like everybody to succeed. Sometimes, being the different one helps change the course of things surrounding us.

Like the small good looking man. I for one think he is reallly reallllly good looking though skinny and all. Haahaa! And how he sees himself as the weak one eventually helped saved everyone else and those dragons too. It’s like what the bible says right? God uses the weak(who actually acknowledges that they are weak) to shame the wise. Teehee!

Alright. I got to go! It’s late and I’ve got to sleep because tomorrow would be catching up with the girls day and sharing lives while celebrating Phy’s birthday! Also, tomorrow would be my last time worship leading before going back to the lovely hometown! I am looking forward to it very much because I know that God has so many things that He wants to tell us; as long as we stop and choose to listen!

Blessed day people! Godspeed!

Happy happy birthday daddy! Another year older but you’re all so wise already so it really makes no difference how old you ever get! Teehee!

Today as I spoke to you on the phone, I am reminded of how amazing you are in so many ways.

Daddy and mummy

How very simple of you to always appreciate all the small things in life that when mummy wants to bring you out for lunch date, all you wanted is a simple kolo mee bowl; knowing that what really matters to you is not where mummy brings you, but the fact that you are there with her. Though in the end you guys end up somewhere else! Hee!

daddy acting funny!

And how humble and full of selflessness that when I ask if you’re happy, the first thing that you say is that if all of your children is happy, you are happy too.

I was astounded, speechless. Daddy, you have a huge heart of gold!

Daddy, me and chae chae

And how approachable you are that I can sit there in the library whispering and giggling on the phone talking to you without any restrain knowing that you love me for who I really am and that I can talk to you about everything and anything; and you really listen. Thank you daddy for listening to me bicker about life and love me still.

My handsome daddy!

What touches me so much more is that you love God and how when we talk, you will tell me that God is Almighty and He has a great plan and that you trust Him. When I see you trust God so much, I know I do too. What you believe would be what I would believe. And I know this God is real.

Daddy and jessica

Most important of all however, I will always remember, is that at the beginning of this year, when I lie so helplessly on my bed, begging for my lungs to breathe with tears flowing endlessly and almost giving up life once again; daddy, you held me close to you, carried me in your arms, let me cry and tell me that I can. When you said I can, I truly believe with all my heart and soul that I truly can. But more than that, daddy, at that very moment, I know that God has given me the greatest blessing of all; you.

Thank you daddy for everything. Words cannot tell you how much I love you. I really really love you!

I’m sorry I can’t be there for your celebration tomorrow night; but I know all of you will have so much fun karaoke-ing! I wish I am there but it’s okay! We’ll do it again when I come back?

Like I said on the phone daddy; you must live a long long life okay? Cos I still need you so much in my life! And for mah future man, you have to pray harder so that you can walk me down that aisle! Teehee! Pray that he’ll be like you!

Happy happy birthday daddy! You are the bestest in the whole wide world! And I am so glad that no matter how old I grow, I can manja with you and lie on your lap while watching tv, disturb and bite you and you’ll not get annoyed and most important of all, I can share my life with you and you’ll truly care.

You are the ultimate dad and I am glad you are mine.

With love from you second daughter,

YingYing

P/s this was a long time ago. Before the CNY. Teehee! Just realized I have many drafts haven’t post up. Teehee!

Had Northern Indian food and catch up with the leadership team which can be found here.

Then went over to Sunway Pyramid for supposedly ice skating fun with the favourite boys and I brought all my stuffs ie stokings and gloves but we did not ice skate in the end because there were sooooo many people on the ice skating ring and if I skated I would perhaps block the whole entire ring because I would be stuck at the side not knowing how to move -_-!! I would get all wet since the ring was kinda wet wet wet with all that people skating on it. So, we ended up in Carl’s Junior since the boys boy haven’t been to one since he came to KL for studies. Teehee!

Noel and his huge burger!

The Melvin and his burger!

My yummy drink which was too filling so I exchanged it with the Noel's ice lemon tea since I was already so bloated from the Indian food!

The famous Chilli Cheese Fries which I thought wasn't as good as 1U's
