Currently I'm reading a book about this modern saint of the Catholic Church. She inspired me so much.With my shallow knowledge in Saints, I first heard about her through Catholic Digest in the early 90's...and her name somehow stucked in my memories altho' I never get to know her until quite recently. I know it is the will of God for me to learn about this spiritual legend and to follow that path of love that she left behind. Born Marie Francois-Therese Martin, she is better known as Saint Therese of Lisieux.

I love sunrises.
Somehow, they have significance in my life and painted some memories which symbolizes HOPE. Why so? 15 years ago, I was boarding a bus on my way to my job interview, when I saw a very brilliant sunrise on the east sky (in my hometown Kuching, Sarawak). A wreck of nerves, I was praying fervently inside my heart that I'd get the job after being unemployed for 3 years after I left school. It was one of the most beautiful sunrises I've ever seen...golden, yellow and orange-colored morning sky. Bright yet soft.
That was the interview for the job I'm having now.
Last week, again I got a bit nervous about things.
Waking up early before work, I saw this sunrise outside my bedroom window.
Dawn of A New Malaysian Independence. Beautiful, aren't they?

Hi...I haven't much time to blog due to some internet connection problem, but I'll try to write as much, if not in the least, as I possibly can!
Just wanna jot down & record the events that touched my heart lately.
I must admit that this week hasn't been an easy one... will not elaborate why, just let it remain a secret between me and He who understands my heart. I felt like being almost bent to my limit, when the Faithful God sees and understands my predicament. He whispered these words in my heart, 'Take this 'trial' as an opportunity to exercise your faith, endurance and sincerity. Love your 'neighbour' (yes, I'm talking about an immediate neighbour here!). Practise empathy, see from that person's view. Show kindness, and do not complain, instead shine'. Awww...I did groan inwardly, but thanks to Him, I still managed to muster a smile outwardly.
It started 2 days ago. That day, leaving office on a somewhat gloomy evening, I was fetched by my family to the night market straight after work. I chose to stay inside the car while my parents, my sister and her 2 children (Shawn & Baby Nia) exited the vehicle to do their marketing. In my hands was this book I'd been trying to finish reading, entitled 'The Abundant Treasure' (of the Holy Spirit). It's a great book, despite the facts that I fell asleep a number of times after few paragraphs late at nite, which has nothing to do with it's greattt contents. It's just that I sometimes get very, very sleepy and tired after a days work.
I rested my head on the head rest of the car seat and looked ahead, when I spotted this sight. It amazed me, for I was like...really, this is not Simelatong or anything.
Yes, at first glimpse, they look like crosses.
Zooming In....... :
I looked again, and confirmed them to be windows of the upper floor of a shophouse. But seeing such 'sighting' (If I may called it so) at such time of, well, misery?...was no coincidence. I saw not one, or two...but 3 windows that resemble 3 crosses (The 2nd one cannot be seen here because it was blocked by the leafy plants).
The word 'Holy Trinity' crossed my mind immediately. How many windows are there in Bintulu or anywhere else that resemble crosses? Hmmm...I'm not sure about that, but the message is clear as the sun. He wants me to believe and keep trusting Him, even in the darkest hour of life.
After leaving the Pasar Malam, I was okay again. I surrendered tomorrow to God. With all the crosses of our own that we have to carry in our daily lives, His cross will always flash to remind us of the ever awaiting salvation. It's never too far...maybe somewhere near the Pasar Malam. And maybe even at your doorstep. Hallelujah!
Lord, the light of your love is shining
In the midst of the darkness, shining
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us
Set us free by the truth you now bring us
Shine on me, shine on me...
Chorus:
Shine, Jesus, shine!
Shine, Jesus, shine!
Fill this land with the Father's glory
Blaze, Spirit, blaze
Set our hearts on fire...
Flow, river, flow
Flood the nations with grace and mercy
Send forth your word
Lord, and let there be light...
Lord, I come to your awesome presence
From the shadows into your radiance
By the blood I may enter your brightness
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness
Shine on me, shine on me...
(repeat chorus)
As we gaze on your kingly brightness
So our faces display your likeness
Ever changing from glory to glory
Mirrored here may our lives tell your story
Shine on me, shine on me....
Inilah anak buahku, Miellenia @ Nia. Orangnya suka melompat walaupun baru berusia 5 bulan (lahir pada 2.3.2008). Aneh? Taklah...dia akan minta dipegang & dlm keadaan 'berdiri', dia akan melakukan lompatan springnya. Sekilas pandang mcm Tigger dlm kartun Winnie The Pooh pun ada...oppsss :P
Setakat ini catatan rekod lompatannya yang paling banyak adalah 11 kali tanpa henti; belum dapat menyamai rekod Olympic tetapi cukup utk meraih kasih-sayang daripada kami sekeluarga. 
Hobinya? Suka menghisap jari. Bila dah penat, dia akan menghisap bibir atasnya pula sehingga rupanya amat melucukan. Nia juga seorang penggemar ikan goreng, telur dll. Dia tak akan berhenti menguyah angin sambil memerhatikan kita makan sehingga kita menyuapkan sedikit makanan ke mulutnya. Tak sabar nak membesar, ye? hehehe...
