post- chinese-new-year celebration

so here I am again, in Ipoh. This Chinese New Year wasn't as bad as what I've expected, there're some parts that I enjoyed :) Ahem, so speaking about cny. Nope, I didn't eat much main course meal. Yes, I ate many bowls of my favourite tong shui :D :D :D hmmm. How many bowls? 8? or 9? don't know. :3 drank coffee and many cups of tea as well :D :D :D  put on little weight that I put off these few months, but fortunate enough the amount that I've gained didn't fully compensate those that I've lost. God is good ;)

This Chinese New Year has been the toughest one for me, because this is the year that I truly care about my future undertakings, so there have been many conflicts in there, mostly in my mind (told you I think a lot). I'm sorry for being passive during some family activities this year, I obviously need to learn more to improve on my socializing skills... and emotion quotient. It's my bad, I'm sorry. I will improve on it. :) 

So speaking of the good part, I enjoyed the outdoor activities this year. ^^ One of my favourite parts of cny would be riding bicycle, that's one of the things that can pull me out of my bed during cny, as I can only ride it every cny. What I like about cycling : the speed and the wind that blows along as you accelerate down the steep road.That's the heavenly feeling which overshadows the stakes of its perilous part. Totally worth it, though it marked my limbs with bruises and scratches. I'm positive that I'll master it better if I get to ride over a longer period of time, now my level of performance is : close to fall off every ride. Ya I need to control the speed better and also stop the bicycle nicely when there're vehicles which appear out of the blue. hmm. Anyway I'm safe and happy, contented with the cycling experience. ^.^V  lalala

I like to look up at the sky,
'cause that's when my mind stops spinning.
Everything halts at this special moment,
to admire the beauty of nature.  

Bowling. haha finally not gutter ball every time, lol. I got my first strike in my life, praise the Lord. :D 

thank you for teaching me something brand new about life.  :)

Ice skating? nope I didn't make it. I still can't skate without holding on to the bars attached to the walls. Never mind,  good experience though. I'm still proud to say that it's good enough for newbies like me, it's only my 1st attempt! so what if I still can't master it ? -.-

relatives who brought me laughter during cny :D

the thing that I love the most during ice skating. ^^

Overall, lesson learnt is : Don't be confined by what your mind thinks. True enough, our mind works in very subjective ways and things go in negative ways when you think everything pessimistically. When you think negatively, you shut off the possibility of having a good outcome. Don't judge people, but treat everyone with pure kindness and love. It's only when your gentleness and love are shown, you'll get the chance of being cared or loved back. Things work both ways but nothing will happen when you don't choose to love others. Love the world and the people as what God has commanded. 

Don't be scared to give a try about anything. You'll never know what you may get in the end, maybe the experience will bring a lifetime change. :) You can't reap what you didn't sow, so why not give it a try? :D hmm. another one, perseverance. I have to strengthen my will on something that I've already decided on. Don't give in to temptation of giving up so easily, I can do this. Ya, at least let myself know that I'm not that bad... and I can do this.Don't degrade myself anymore, but save myself some confidence to be good. Don't be scared of failing, there's nothing shameful about failing, not unless you didn't even try. Gather myself up, belt up and brave the challenges ahead.

Remember, what others think about you is not important at all, nor what your passive mind told of you, for every temptation and every challenge that you face is an opportunity to do good. Stop crying, move on. You surely can glorify God's name in much better ways :) This life is not just about me, so stop worrying too much :D

2 Timothy 1:7 

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. :)
