Handwritten Bible.

So, in one of my previous post, I mentioned very briefly that I was gonna plan to write the Bible, message version.

And write the Bible, I did.

Yep, I actually decided to re-write the Bible, no matter how long it shall take. A man in the US took 4 years to finish the whole Bible, by writing it all by himself. King James version.

And I got inspired after reading that at a small corner of a magazine. Crazy huh? At least, it kinda gives me "something" sort of "feeling"! A good kind of feeling. A very therapeutic feeling. This feels even better than shopping.

So, to prepare for the first day to launch this writing Bible, I went and get a specific blue pen, and specific kind of A4 papers (which in the end I just took a new stack from Van's because I've got no time to buy).



So far, I've written till Genesis chapter nine and verse 29. This is the beginning and though I just realized that there's so much more to write and though I'm nowhere near the second book, I will still try to finish the whole holy book in three years.

A bible verse/chapter a day, will keep this heart in tune everyday. Okay, maybe it's not very rhythm-ic.

Oh wellz.

Ben Can Really Cook.

We called for a council meeting without the pastors to re-align certain things in fireBRANDS, and because Ben offered to do it in his house, he of course offered to cook his ever-famous-aglio-olio for us. For us, it's OF COURSE WHY NOT! Initially, I only expected for his signature spaghetti for dinner, but when we got there, it was way more than just a pasta dish.

IT WAS A FINE DINING Ben's style. No kidding! When we arrived, we could smell all those

wonderful herbs smell and he didn't want us to do anything, so we just sat and watched Masterchef Australia Season 4, which by the way did not help to make our hunger less. Imagine looking at those yummy food on the TV and smelling the aroma from Ben's kitchen.

Special thanks to Aunty Mee Thiew and Ben for blessing us with this amazing spread of lovely food!

We had Ben's amazing aglio olio spaghetti, roasted pork fillet with special Ben's sauce, squashed sweet potatoes, the ever amazing green salad and crispy garlic bread. THERE WERE NO LEFTOVER! NONE! ZERO!

It was that gooooood! So blessed.






Last night's council meeting was one of the longest that I've had. We talked about what we really feel, no filter. But whatever was spoken between those walls stays there. I'm thankful for this team.

Anyways, Ben should really start a catering service. Or a cafe. Or a Pasta Corner. Or just anything! You're an amazing cook, Mr Song Min. First time, I had three servings of spaghetti which is like so rare.

:)

The tummy was happy last night.

PTPTN Loan Turned Scholarship.


I mentioned once in Saturday Youth Service how God had blessed me way beyond my expectation in regards to my studies and college stuff. So, I have just received the official letter from the government turning my RM48,000 PTPTN loan into a full 100% scholarship. It is insane. I mean, all this while I knew I didn't have to pay it back since my graduation days, but to get the official letter is just a very rewarding moment and a reminder of how crazy God is. He is able to do anything.

A week before I got this letter, a friend told me that he was asked to pay back the "extra" that we got throughout our whole 3 years course. Because my course fee was only RM40,000 and I was given RM48,000 I had to pay back RM8,000. That was according to the government-person that spoke to my friend. And he did actually pay back the extra RM8,000. He was a first-class honor student too. But when I heard that, I knew God is in charge. So, I wasn't bothered by that info. A week later, a letter that clarified otherwise. Whoa. Crazy huh. 

It gets easier like 0.1% each time I go through this kind of thing with the Big Man. It always gets easier trusting that He is in FULL control. His ways are the most rewarding. His timing is chun-nest of all. I'm grateful. Very grateful.

Two years already since we parted ways. College people, appreciate every moment you spend with your collegemates. Those times are precious. You may not see/feel/know it now. But once you leave and graduate, every part of your being wishes that you could turn back time once again. Maybe except for those assignments due dates and exams. But the hanging out and road trips and the group study till midnight and sleepover parties, boy do I miss them madly. Not to forget, all the unnecessary dramas. Now, to plan for a dinner together with the full clan also takes forever. I miss being crazy and loud in classes. You really do not know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. It's really true.

Thank God It's Friday.

Weekend is finally here. I'm nervous, just thinking of the match tomorrow.. First one we are going against fireBRANDS girls. Stress. This old girl long time no play sudah berkarat sini sana. And though I've played in quite a number of match, I still feel the adrenalin rush a day before. In short, today I feel nervous. Howz?
