10.10.10

I knew many people would make a big deal about this date because it was the "triple 10". Many we talking about getting married on this auspicious day and random posts on facebook showed that people really do take note of this day.

 I personally didn't think much about it and didn't really want to associate with it at all. Then the news came. My long time friend from UNIMAS days was proposed to by her boyfriend!! So I guess this day became special to me too!! :)

Anyway, a video of the whole proposal was uploaded to YouTube and when I watched it, it brought me a little tears and suddenly had the urge to write her something. And so I did; here it is: -

For Grace:

Oh! What a joyous day it is,
To see my friend Grace in bliss
One thing for sure I know is this
Dear Grace you've got your wish

At the dining table her hand lay
10.10.10 seemed like a normal day
Till the restaurant pressed the button "PLAY"
Her eyes blossomed like it was the month of May

The pictures popped up one by one
It reminded her of all the fun
Then came these group of young guns
With bright smiles that outshine the sun

Balloons and cheers filled the air
The MAN walked in without a fear
For he knew that this WOMAN he dearly cared
Would forever now be his pair

With a bouquet of flowers he gave her a kiss
And took out a box and planted his knee
The face of the girl was full of glee
Then came out the words "Marry me, Please?"

The rest of the story is as they say
I won't have it any other way
For Grace and Ah Fai made this their day
On 10.10.10! Hip hip! Hooray!!


Congratulations Grace!!

♥ Sarah






I guess that's all from me for now. Congratulations again Grace :) So happy for you!!


Ciao.

Extraction 3

Hello people!!

Its a new day, a new week at work (hmph!!) , but most importantly, a new post to write!! (yay!)

Okay, fine. Not exactly. Its another one of my extractions from my other blog. This time the post is a light one just to show how naturally clumsy I am :)

Here it is:-

Mah Poor Leg… (March 16, 2007)

Heya people..

Two weeks ago, I actually fell down a flight of stairs near my hostel (yes I know.. clumsy me).. And me being me, I ignored the fall and went on with life..

Now two weeks after the fall and with many jogging outings and tennis sessions, my leg decides to give me a lesson. It went numb! Mah poor leg!! (Fine.. it’s actually just my small toe on the right leg.. hee).

Anyway, since these few days I am in Penang, I thought I had better get some help or proper treatment. So my friend’s mother brought me to the place where they have some herbal paste for injuries. I gave it a try but I don’t know how effective the medicine is… Can only update you the progress in a few days time.

*Sigh*

Here’s how it looks

Funny huh? It looks like a "pau".. Don’t be alarmed, the brownish colour is not blood.. It’s just the herbal paste.. Honestly, this is the first time my leg (sorry, i meant feet) has been bandaged up like that.. This in itself is an experience for me.. hehe..

Okaylah, I guess I had better make a move.

That’s all from me today.. Will be waiting for tomorrow morning to unwrap the bandage (Yay!!)

Take care,

Chao.

p/s: Here’s to all who has been injured, are injured and will be injured… greetings

*******************************

*Sigh*

Those were the days I could actually play tennis and get injured from it.. But nowadays, my "trying to be fit" activities consists of swimming and dancing lessons.. A far cry from my tennis days...

Well, I don't mind it though. Learning dance has opened up a whole new world for me. Its simply amazing. You should try it too..

As for the update, my lil' toe is doing absolutely fine.. And yes, I can feel it too. :)

Ciao.

p.s. Here's to all who are trying new things in life.. Make it worthwile :)

Creative..

Recently,

two of my youth members had to complete a poem for their English class. The teacher got the whole class to think of a word and write it down. One of them chose "DANCE", the other "AWESOME".. Outcome? Two very different poems that showed the creativity within them.

For this time around, I'm going to share the poem by the first girl. When I read through it, it exactly described my feelings about dance. (Recently I started taking classes and I'm really enjoying myself)

Alright, enough said, here is the poem:

DANCE ~ by Pan Eu Fern

One and two and three and four,

What is it like on the dance floor?

Something quite different, unlike anything before,

A whole new dimension to indulge and explore.

Dance is a passion, fueled by determination,

It’s more than just physical action.

It stirs up the strongest of any emotion,

An art so special, no words can mention.

A step, a pointe, a twirl to the right,

Movements precise, body firm and tight.

Of course, it can’t all be learned in one night,

It takes time, and all of one’s might.

A dancer’s balance and rhythm must be steady,

Her posture upright, she cannot appear lazy.

You see, dancing ain’t all happy and smiley,

It takes a lot of hard work, it’s not easy.

Discipline must come from within a dancer,

To master her steps, to do better.

That, with guidance from a gifted instructor,

Even the most intricate dance she can master.

But who am I to say all this,

For I am but a mere novice.

But I’ll show that I’m no immature miss,

I can, and will, succeed in this.

For I have found immense joy within my core,

As if on fire, I crave for more.

I will keep dancing, even with knees sore,

To satiate my desire for dancing lore.

Beautiful isn't it?? Such creativity at a young age.

Eu Fern, you inspire me.

Ciao.

p.s. Here's to all the aspiring dancers out there. Cheers.

Run for the Nation (Sarawak Edition)

Heya..

Its a new day and lovely one at that.. :)

After a late start to the day, (woke up early, did some work then decided to sleep again, and woke up only at 12pm.. hehe) I'm back to my laptop writing this new post.

My post today is focused on a special event happening in exactly one weeks time. (so excited!!) :-

Run For Sarawak

This event is actually a National run that started in 2007 where Christians in Malaysia had a burden to pray for the country and paired it up with running to make it a special event. I joined the RunNat family last year (2009) as the Sarawak contact as they decided to make the run nationwide. It was SUCH an experience and now, I'm already helping out in 3 runs altogether, this upcoming run being the 3rd.

Basically, this is what RunNat is all about:-

RunNat… RunNat… RunNat… Not only had the sportsmen been talking about it since the first RunNat event in 2007, even God’s people are excited about it because Run For The Nation is the first-of-its-kind prayer event that combines the passion for running and the desire to intercede for our beloved nation. It’s the one thing that everyone can do together as family of God despite our age differences, background divergence and various personalities. In prayer, we are one in Christ. And through prayer, we can make a difference.

Run For The Nation (friendly known as RunNat) is a single morning running event that sees Christians praying as they run throughout selected areas in the city or town where the event is held. The Runners are grouped into teams of three and each Team is required to cover a 5km run of a preselected route passing by homes, schools, commercial areas, government buildings, religious sites and other places of interest. As the Team runs, one will lead in prayer while the other two will agree. With the aim to cover most grounds, the Run adopts the relay style by using Prayer Cards in replacement of batons.

In short, RunNat is about gathering God’s people to pray and intercede together for Malaysia by physically running across the areas which we pray for to bless the place with God’s blessing and anointing. We believe that this simple act of prayer will make a difference because our God is One who answers prayer.

Exciting stuff isn't it? :)

Well, next week's run is a special edition run for this year (The full scale run throughout Malaysia was done in May in conjuction with Global Day of Prayer). The run focuses on Sarawak. A team from West Malaysia is coming down to Kuching (WOOT!! WOOT!!) to join hands with the Kuching runners to pray for Sarawak and the current issues regarding this state.

I'm so honoured to be part of this event and I hope that you all will be too!!

For those who would like to take part, you can ask me more about this event through the comment box or come join the prayer group that will be held in conjunction with the run.

Ciao.

p.s. Here's to all the RunNat family out there. Y0u all INSPIRE me..

Single all this while?

[NOTE: This post is an extraction from my old blog]

This post was extracted because one of my youth member came across it the other day she said it is exactly how she feels right now. It struck me how words written 3 years ago even though forgotten, can still impact others. And its mainly because of this I'm picking up blogging again. To make a difference...

Single all this while? (March 15, 2007)

As of this year, I will be turning 23 officially.. Not NOW but one day down the road this year

And as most people my age would understand, it is at about this time when the evermore famous question will start to come out…

“So ah, any boyfriend yet?”

*Sigh*

Is that all that can come across the mind of generally almost everyone when I mention that I’m 22 going on 23? Is it? Where is the hope of mankind? (okay… that sounded a little bit toooo drastic.. hehe)

And then to make matters worse, the question doesn’t just end there. It continues with a string of other “investigative” questions…

“So.. ah, any boyfriend yet? Who arh? When together? Settling down? Tell me everything ah!”

Right.

Why so pumped up about this question? Well, the other night ( I won’t mention when) I had a conversation with some people ( I won’t mention who) and they asked me theexact same question.. Of course not same words but the meaning is the same mah…

So I answered them…

“I don’t have a boyfriend and I NEVER did have one.”

They all (and there were quite a few of them) couldn’t believe the words that were coming out of my mouth..

Yes people… I am single.. And I have always been single.. From the day I was born until now. (Sheish.. I sound like a desperate advertisement). What is sooooo hard to believe about that? Many people go through the same situation that I do.. Some of the people I talk to still believe that I am pulling their legs..

Well, here is what I feel about singlehood at the moment…

First, I’m not tied down with commitment which means that I’m able to move around quite flexibly without worrying about slowing people down or people slowing me down.Next, I’m still young and by being single a little longer, I’m able to make more friends and thus able myself to widen my “choices”.. Hehe

Thirdly, with my situation back home in Kuching, being single now is the best thing because I can put my full attention towards helping my mom look after my dad. Lastly, this is the time where I can also focus on myself and get to know who I am and what I can be. To discover my potential on my own (of course have aid from above lar…).

I’m not saying that it is bad to be in a relationship. If you are in a relationship, good for you.. I’m also happy for you.. Is just that, I don’t understand why is it sooo difficult for people to believe that I have never had a boyfriend.. Its not that I don’t want… I do.. but just not now.

Okay, enough said.

Ciao.

p.s. Here’s to all single people (whether by choice or not), enjoy it while you can. Here’s also to those who are in a relationship, cherish every moment that you have. Take care.

*******************************************

Well, now at the age of 25, I'm still single but my stance has changed. I do feel that I'm ready for a relationship but I know that will come when God thinks its the right time. Till then, I'll just wait patiently :)

Ciao.

p.s. Here's to those who are waiting for the ONE. Be patient. The Good Lord will provide. Take care.
