This Came Up..

Was online a while ago and this came up...

"WHEN THE WORLD PUSHES YOU TO YOUR KNEES...YOU'RE IN THE PERFECT POSITION TO PRAY..."

-just thought I'd share with you-

... My Days Are Blessed ...

Its 1245am and I'm still blogging..I know I should be getting my butt to bed at this hour but I guess the Green Tea's takin` effect. Its alright..at least I can still blog while talking to Steffie and Catrina.

It was 8 months ago when I thought everything was oh-so-perfect! But I guess most good things..do come to an end aye?

2008 was predicted one of the best years one could ever have...I don't know why and obviously do not know WHO in the world pedicted that! I thought I'd stick with the fact that 2008 will be a good year but somehow things went the other way around. For 7 months...I looked day after day to see what's so great about 2008 when everything that was good went haywire.

At the beginning of the year, I lost some friends due to some misunderstandings between us. It was all complicated that left me pretty much speechless. I don't even wanna' recall. Mid of this year, I lost the closest person to my heart..My grandma...It was hard for me to get used to the fact that she's not longer with us..even til this very day..thinking about her makes me sad..But it puts a relieve in my heart to know that she is now, in a better place....

A few months later when I thought everything was goin' the right direction...Unexpected things just happened..I need not specify whatever that has happened but it has made me broken.

The highlight throughout these few months was HILLSONG CONFERENCE...The experience was priceless! First of all, it has indeed changed my life and I cannot stop saying that! Its just truly amazing how God works! The outpouring of the Holy Spirit that is happening in Sydney is happening here! I'm so excited! :)

Anyways..yea...when I left Malaysia for Australia..there are many things that I had to think about...relationship wise...with friends and close ones... I dont always believe in 'sayings'...but when the term.. "Out of sight, out of mind" is concerned...I'd have to rekon..its more than true. I'm not saying that my friends have forgotten me or anything like that..I'm just sayin` when you leave...something or somewhere..something new takes place. Its sad to know...at certain times..but we all ought to know its for the best...

Its gonna take me a zillion years to write em all down.... so..I won't... I guess I just wanted to write...or rather...speak my mind...

Some days have been hurtful, some are disappointing....no doubt..some are happy days..but most of all...all my days are blessed! :) Amen!

Y'know...According to Joyce Meyer...God is a God of progression..you cannot hold on to the past and expect God to do something new in your life... Its either you let go and let GOD...or just don't move on.. That is our first step of faith! If you don't want to change and let the past be history...your life would be miserable..guaranteed! My goodness..am I preachin` or what?

But yeah...The past is history...whatever that has happened, leave it be...move on..know that there's a brighter bigger future ahead of you..Thats at least what I tell myself everyday to keep it goin`!Hey..it works!Nothin in life is simple...people come and people go in our daily lives..Some just leave footprints...Oh well....this IS life..somehow complicated...but fun..Its a journey..not a destination...Journey where you go through hurdles in life, make choices...do silly things and all..Its all cool! God gave us this journey in life to make and mould us to be a stronger, better person! There are many times I wanted to give up in many things...No doubt whenever that happens...Remember.. "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO GIVES ME STRENGTH"..... :) Its not THAT difficult...Trust in the ONE above....and live life with no regrets! C'mon..life's way too short to be regretting the past! Look back and smile...know that there are better things in store for you!

As for now.. Just to let ya'll 'concerned' people know..I'm well and happy...So don't have to worry about me! I'm in HIS hands! :)

We've been friends for years..but never too close..I'm glad we had the opportunity this year to travel to Sydney together to attend Hillsong conference.Life changing experience for both of us huh? *you know what I mean*

Its a blessing knowing you..Watching you struggle during your lowest times, yet you found the right path in the Lord now. I'm glad you did..I'm glad WE did.. :)

I had so much fun with you in Australia.. there are many times I know you wanted to kill me because of my blur-ness..Thank God you didn't! *laughs* Those were very good times that I'll always chrish and remember..the times we spent talking at wee hours..laughing our hearts out, sharing our deepest secrets and weeping over them,experiencing the 'walking' life in the city of Sydney,taking zillions of pictures..Great times..!

Most of all..we've rededicated our lives to the one ABOVE...Amen!

Bernz..

No matter what we go through in life..past is history..We're now looking forward to what God has in store for us..GREATER THINGS! Remember..when you need someone in your toughest times..I'm here..There are times I cannot do much..but at least you know you have a shoulder to lean on!And when you need someone to laugh with..I'm here too..(I laugh to save my life y'know?)

Thank you for all the words of encouragement..You've been a complete blessing in my life..and I'm glad I've got to know a sister like you! ♥

I Wouldn't Want Any Of You To Miss Out On This!

..and..

THIS IS PRAISE AND WORSHIP!

-Acer Arena,Hillsong Conference 2008-

...and this is the BLUE MOUNTAINS...

I can't find words to describe the view. Some told us it is not worth going all the way up to the mountains just to look at everything BROWN and BLUE. I totally do not agree with that. I think the view was SPECTACULAR...From where we stood, we could see the legendary 3 sisters! *lolz*... NICE!

Con't... ♥

Here it is...I've finally found the time to blog ...yet again! This is all about the conference..ITSELF!
Conference started Monday, 7th July - Friday, 11th July 2008. There's so much to blog about that I don't even know how and where to start. This is probably the first time EVER seeing around 35,000 people in an arena praising God.. The scene was so inspiring..no doubt the presence of God was so strong. We could feel it the moment we stepped into the arena.
This is by far...a life changing experience!
Girls..if you're gonna be there..you need your waterproof make up and lotsa tissues...Cos you'll be MOVED...Moved to tears!Guaranteed! AMEN!

Woshipping with the HiLLsong team was an amazing experience as well...Felt as though the heavens opened when they started worshipping...I don't know how to describe!

Its just incredible!
Joyce Meyer, Judah Smith, Joseph Prince, Rober Barringer, Paul de Jong, Marcos Witt and Mike Pivalachi were the speakers throughout the whole week of conference.They're amazing speakers! Bernie bought almost ALL the cd's available for the messages! Until she realised she could actually download them online for only $5! (Its okay hun...you're alrite!) :) ♥

The guest performers at the conference were awesome! Some of them were unexpected! Let's see...we had Guy Sebastian and also the 1st runner up for Austalian Idol this year...Goodness...They sang soooo well!! Not forgetting Israel Houghton..you guys NEED to get his cd! YOU JUST NEED TO!! Leeland and Michael Gungor were good too! But...their music aint my kinda thing :P Overall..ALL of them nailed it! ALL GOOD! :)

I registered myself into the Dance Stream. It was a good experience. I, for once had the chance to do Classical Ballet during my first day! How cool is that? BUT...I failed! I have to admit I'm really bad at it! The girls looked so graceful dancing to the song 'Amazing Grace'...Myself and this girl (Meme) were both lost! Like..SO LOST! Wish I could do ballet!!! So feminine..so graceful..! I guess I'm not anywhere near THAT! :(

Michelle Leaney (The head of the dance dpt) spoke on Dance- A Gift From The Creator..She showed us videos of performances and I thought it was rather encouraging. Sandra Godde,Another speaker (Also the lady that taught us ballet) spoke about her experience in ballet.She's from the states..also involved in Project Dance, Sydney. No offense but I fell asleep listening to her..GOD PLS FORGIVE ME! :(

To my surprise, Joel Tan frm UGDN Malaysia was there teaching us breakdancing, popping and locking..*laughs*...Most of us had muscle aches after that! But it was all cool! We had fun! Heaps of it!We saw him dance too...with the Hillsong Dance Team 3:16... He..too...NAILED IT! :)
I think the dance team @ Hills' great! I've yet to post up the video of their finale performance for the conference! I was IMPRESSED!!!! VERY MUCH IMPRESSED!! Wish I could be part of the dance team!! GOD..LEAD ME! *laughs*

The final night for the performance was spectacular. It was just FULL ON praise and worship for hours. Beat that! The final night had about 40,000 people in the arena. It was jammed packed! Something you wouldn't believe! God is GOOD!!!! The whole week of conference didnt even seem long or anything like that...In fact, it passed by so quickly! Missing Sydney and the conference heaps!No matter how much I write here..It won't make a difference..You need to be there to look at it yourself..The whole church thing..the conference thing..the whole praise and worship! AGAIN..ITS LIFE CHANGING!!!! *thumbs up!*

(I'll try resizing the videos and upload them so you can have a taste of it!)
There's only one thing bad about the conference...THE FOOD AND DRINKS were (flippin`) expensive!

Yea...so 5 days of conference...ended....so quickly...

Let me tell ya'...Save up..! Next Year's gonna` be even better!!

NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT!

Too Tired to write now... 'Blue Mountains' next... :)
Write Tomorrow!

HILLSONG CONFERENCE 2008, Sydney, Australia

IT'S ALL HAPPENING DOWN UNDER!

Finally! As promised..here's a lil bit about Sydney, Hillsong Conference and All that was involved!! hahahah!!!
(In our A380 Flight, SIA)

Bernie and I left Malaysia on the 3rd of July, 2008 to Sydney for HILLSONG CONFERENCE,baybeh! It felt like we were just counting down months after months before we left and now..we're back home...Time..FLIES! no doubt! :( All I can say is that I went to Sydney and fell in LOVE....with the country! *laughs* It certainly wasn't what I expected...it was wayy better! Place was awesome, people were wonderful...and the AIR...phew....fresh! Unlike the pollution here!eeks!

Yes...we arrived Sydney at approximately 7am (Aussie time)...Plane was delayed for 2 hours..gosh..SIA's pretty lame..at times! We waited for Uncle John and Aunty Kim to pick us up...we stepped out of the airport and realised it was pouring..But still ...the air was sooooo (flippin`) fresh! :)

Oh? Did I mention? Nothing stopped us from taking pics...Before I forget, FYI..Bernz and I took about 3000 over pics throughout our trip in Sydney..!Call us crazy..but we totally have no regrets coz Sydney's such a beautiful place! ( I can't upload many pics here cos most of them are in Bernz' comp)

As soon as we got to the Brinsden's, we were all tired off... I slept in the car on our way to the house and thought I could do more sleeping when we arrive. Heck..when we arrived, Bernz and I looked at each other and said.."Cmon..this is OUR holiday!..No SLEEPING!"...*laughs* When Jasmine (Aunty Kim's daughter) asked if we wanted to go shopping, without any hesitation..we said YES! So the first SHOPPING MALL..."CASTLE TOWERS!"...I don't even wanna mention what we bought at the mall..It seemed like paradise for the both of us! hahaha!

Rachelle and Deepika (girls from Asian Extension Service) picked us up from the mall hours after that. They're such sweethearts! :) Thank U, both of you! :) They took us for dinner at Norwest where they served grilled fish and chips...Very tempting!The portion came out pretty HUGE! Bernz and I couldnt even get through it! Thanks to Rachelle...she helped s THROUGH! *laughs*

Anyways...after dinner we were told that there was a UNITED conference goin` on..so we headed to HILLSONG church for the conference..As soon as we walked into the church...We felt goosebumps! Holy spirit or just the chills you may call it..but it was indescribable! Something I've never seen in my life...A church and a congregation as big as that...It left me ..SPEECHLESS! The whole praise and worship, the sermon was breathtaking! Now I know why my sister, Karen enjoyed HILLSONG so much! hahahaha!!!People were queuing up for church, can you imagine? I've never expect people to queue up for church!! For most people, they DRAG to go to church! What I saw on my first day was just a start of something good.. :)

::Day 2::

Woke up pretty early and followed Jasmine to a dance practise... That was where I met Ian,Joanne,Jon and Diana..They're such wonderful people..Great dancers too! It was fun practising with them cos they come up with such cool moves! I've yet to post the video up..I hope they don't kill me! Pics are alright I guess! I think their performance is this Saturday! All the best people! You guys are awesome! Keep it up! (if you're reading this!) hahaha!! They're a buncha` talented people!

Practised for a lil` bit then Jasmine took us to Parklea Markets! OoOO..shop shop shop! AGAIN! that's all I can say! :)

We attended the Asian Extension Service in the evening..Great service, great people! Here's some of them..These pics were taken at an African Restaurant around the corner... :) Here's Rachelle, Shaun,Bobby and Deepika... :)

::Day 3::

Church, church and more church! I've never enjoyed church so much in my life! We attended a Filipino service in the morning...then, Uncle John took us to the Blacktown Mall...We thought Castle Towers was already big enough...this one's MASSIVE!*laughs*..You could leave me a week there and I still can't finish looking around the shops!haha!

After all the shopping, we headed down to HILLSONG CHURCH!! whee!!!! First time for the Sunday service! First session at 430pm, second session at 730pm..Joyce Meyer preached for both services and it was splendid! :) The thing about her 'lil red dress cracked me up!

Tell ya'll something embarassing... Before the service started..This lady came up to me and said.."A lot of people, aye?"..I said "Yea"...and smiled...and thats all I did...Not long after I saw her on stage singing..her voice was so angelic..! Guess who?? It was DARLENE! omigosh! I didn't even realised!! I was so silly...would've taken a pic with her!! G.R.E.A.T!!!!!! *ergh!*We were sittin` at the first row with Aunty Kim and Uncle John! We're SO blessed!!

Not only did we see Darlene.. we saw Brian and Bobby Houston, Joel Houston, JD,Brooke Fraser...all of them looked somehow...PERFECT! hahahah!!! *everyone @ HILLS need to keep up to a certain standard i guess*

The church service itself consists of about 10,000 ppl... massive church!!!!! and I meant..absolutely MASSIVE!!! (u just need to be there to see it!) So inspiring!

To Be Continued.... ( I have so much to write!!!! )
