Half of 2018 gone

~Omo, it's been half a year! 

So many things and events that has happened over the pass 6 months.

It's been half a year since I started working in JC, things are good =) Learning new things every day. Gained many new knowledge and experiences.

-March 2018-

We went to Sekinchan with the TCF teachers. It was my first time to Sekinchan (seeing beautiful paddy fields and there were lotsa cheap seafood). That time when we went, we didn't get to see the paddy being harvested, that time the paddy was still fresh and green, the weather was very hot too! Haha, i had a lil sunburnt. 

-visited Bukit Malawati in the morning-

~ckigu pun nak bergambar jugak~

~we visited the rice factory!~

 ~took picture nearby the paddy field~

Havoc peeps, Kumpulan Ayam and a few of us meetup during the school holidays! It was a great time of catching up with one another, especially most of us being teacher, we talked about the challenges in our workplace. 

~ate so much dimsum~

Went out with le colleagues, Anderson and Tasha for Korean BBQ nearby Starling Mall. It was so good!

~the three of us~

-May 2018-

It was a historical day for all Malaysians on the 9th of May 2018. It was GE 14, and it was my first time voting for my country. Went back to Malacca to vote and came back on the same day. That night, I did not slept but waited till the full results for this election. It was truly a hot hot election, semua anak muda really bangkit and we wanted change for the country. For the first time ever, Harapan won! Everyone cheered but it was kinda tense moment (you'll know if you've watched the news), so we had extra 2 days of holidays.

~this finger that made a change for our country~

~meet up with Ain Ro after 4 years~

 ~attended a rally for the first time~

For the first time ever in my life, I attended a rally nearby Amcorp. Wow! just wow! the number of people who came regardless of race and religion. Indeed, it was a new Malaysia!

 ~Elphis CG~

Joined their end of sem makan makan, good to catch up with some people after stepped out of UM for so long. LOLZ

~LEAD 2018~

Attended the first and last LEAD conference in Church. Twas a good 3 days of the conference. Was truly blessed by the Word. Glad that I got to join a CG from church since last October. Since then, I was given the opportunity to lead worship, word and also to prepare supper in CG.

Blessed Year (2017)

And 2017 is coming to an end, time flies, really really flies! Anyway, this year has been a great year, full of ups and downs! Twas a challenging year indeed.

Let's flashback....

January

-My contract for RA ended after a year. Twas a good time and experience working under my SV, who guided me so much in my thesis. Joined CM's FPR (Family Planning Retreat) for the first time, although the whole camp was in Mandarin, but I enjoyed it. It was held at GSBA (my favourite beach)

February

-Went to visit Li Wen in Tampin (spent 2 days 1 night at her place), visited few places and took many great shots of pics! then, headed home for CNY and short sem break. Sent Vian off to Aussie for 9 months.

March

- Worked in a private school for 2 months, it was a great experience! haha, have never been to a private or international school before. Taught English to Primary 5 kids and Music from Primary 1-6, lol, my ears were exploding.

April

-Waited for Seminar 2 which was set to be at the end of the month, but they postponed it to early of May. Many activities in school. Was in charge of ice skating for co-curriculum activities (so interesting weyh!). Had sports day in school and that was my last day of work (kids gave me so so many presents) I was so touched and sad to leave them.

May

-Finally, seminar 2! (after so long). Stopped work in the private school as I wanted to focus fully on my final write up for thesis. But, I visited the kids and came back to mark their English papers. Kids were so happy that I was back.hehe

June

-It was time for my SV to leave Malaysia and moved to Sweden permanently. I'm so so blessed to have her as my SV, she was God sent, she helped me so so so much for my thesis (words couldn't express it). If not because of her, I think I wouldn't have made it this far. FYP in UM, was asked to give my testimony (shy die) HAHA. It was Park's last sem and last month too =(. Sent him off for the last time to KLIA2.

July

-Kayak with other CG's. It was my first time of kayaking and it was not easy! So painful ah my arms LOLZ, but I enjoyed it so much! Joined a 7km run too (my last run in UM). Worked in TJC (Tadika Juara Cerdik) in DUMC as a helper (while i'm waiting for a job)

August

-Worked in JC till the 2nd week of August. Got a job in Nobel and was given Geography to teach. Many things happened when i was in Nobel, Geography was an interesting subject to teach as it was all in Cambridge English

September

-Did not have a nice and conducive working environment in the school that I was in. It was kinda roller coaster journey for the whole month.

October

-Resigned from the school before the school holidays. It was my first time to Ipoh too! (roadtrip with Adib and Sarah), it was a daytrip, so we left KL at 5am and reached home around 12 midnight. Ate so much and visited many interesting places.

November

-Thesis results was out! Passed with minor corrections. Also tutored 2 international students Malay Language (it was fun). Did all the corrections for final thesis submission.

December

-Christmas production, this year I became the audience, hehe. Got to watch the whole production, it was great! Settled the final submission for thesis and went back hometown to celebrate Christmas with le parents (after so many years). Twas a great break for me as well.

As i looked back, God had really blessed me with many things. Despite the many challenges that I faced, He never failed to guide me thru it. I am grateful and thankful to Him! 

I pray that this year, in 2018, I will get to experience more of God's presence in my life.
