See you there :-Þ
I was in Bangkok for 5 days to visit my Aunt Angeline as well as to get to know my Cousins of whom I hardly knew. It was a memorable trip indeed. I never realized until the trip that I had missed my Aunt so much.
She used to visit us every year until 10 years ago. When she turned 80. Sometimes she traveled by Air, sometimes by train. Each time she visited, she would bring 1 luggage full of goodies for us kids. She knew how to satisfy our stomachs. She was a good cook too. Once a year, she would singlehandedly whip up the grandest feast of the year for all of us to enjoy.
My Aunt has a heart of gold. Strict she was but none of us really minded that. I believe there is a part of Aunt Angeline within me. I cannot exactly say what is it but she did influence me somehow to be what I am today. The values that i hold, part of it has been influenced by her.
This trip that i had was indeed a fruitful one. I stayed in her house for 5 days. Her memories are failing but she is still the warm hearted Aunt Angeline that I once knew. Every evening, my cousins would come over to join us for dinner. We would talk and share about our experiences. The moments spent together with my cousins and Aunt Angeline are indeed priceless to me and i am looking forward to another visit to my family in Bangkok again……I am actually proud of my family…proud to be the daughter of Peter Vaz…proud to be Edward Vaz’s granddaughter…proud to be Capt Peter Vaz’s great-granddaughter..

DON‘T MESS WITH GIRLS
We don’t need professional training sessions to be great actors. I had much fun with these fellas during merdeka. Mind you, there were no camera tricks. To Nick, Jackson and Adam, thanks for the enjoyable journey back, i appreciated every moment being with you guys. Agnes and Percy, wish you guys had joined us and not taken the bus back to Penang…..
It was a nice weekend spent with the Tian Zhuan kids…..I call them kids cause 80% of them are below 22 years of age. It was my best Tian Zhuan camp in 3 years. Well done to the organizers….I know you tried your best!
But you are not to be called “Rabbi” for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth “father” for you have only one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called “teacher”, for you have one Teacher the Christ. The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Matt 23: 8 – 12
Today’s gospel is very short, but the message is very straight and it hits me at the bull’s eye. It reminds me to be humble, that I am not any better than other human beings. Being a campus minister does not mean I am a class above or any better than the students that I journey with. I am just their sister nothing more superior then they are. We are all equal and there is no valid reason for me to expect them to honor and respect me like how they do to any VIP’s.
There is only one person I should fear and that is God. Sometimes, I have too many ‘gods’ on earth. Unknowingly sometimes I treat some people as if they are my god. There is no harm in respecting others but I guess sometimes I just go overboard. I give those people extra attention and services that I neglect the others around me.
There is so much to learn in life. I will never be able to obtain all the knowledge in life. No matter how wise I will become, I will still have to refer Christ to guide me through. I should never ever neglect the presence of Christ in my daily life for He is my teacher and if anyone is to call me a teacher; credit should not be given to me but to Christ because it is through Him that I am able to help others.
To serve and not to be served would be what I need to practice in life. The true happiness will only be found in serving others. My wish for today is to change my life from
LOVE OF LIFE to LIFE OF LOVE
A father asked his son:….
Dad: When I beat and scold you, don’t you ever get angry?
Son: Well sometimes it hurts. I don’t like it when you scold or beat me.
Dad: So how do you control your anger?
Son: I start cleaning the toilet
Dad: ??? How does that satisfy you?
Son: I use your toothbrush ma.
KWANG….KWANG….KWANG……..HAVE A NICE DAY

The Elephant Has Tagged Me! Here’s the message….
Here are the rules:
1. Each blogger must post these rules first.
2. Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’ve tagged, and to read your blog.
So Here it goes…….
I like food. It makes me happy. I like it even better when people enjoy the food i cook
My idea of travelling is to go to a new place, live there for a few days, experience the lifestyles of the locals, eat the local delicacies, experiencing their culture and enjoy the original beauty of that place. I don’t fancy shopping complexes and moder n development cause it’s almost the same everywhere.
I miss being a student, I miss Convent Datuk Kramat, I miss staying late after school, running after the public bus, I miss playing hockey and yes the Curry Mee!….I miss being a UPM student, a CSS member…I miss annual camps…and pillow talks and Asong’s Jokes!
I hardly say this to many but yes, there’s no place like home. I love my parent’s house very much. I miss that house so much, the lovely garden and of course my parents. I love my neighbourhood. A place that formed me to be who I am. All the uncles and aunties who used to pamper and scold me….
I am not truly, madly and deeply in love but i think I have found him. We are going steady and I am always grateful that he has been by my side for the past 3 years (at least). I am not expresive cause i don’t like to exaggerate and pretend that I’m extreemly gaga over him, but i do love him the way he is and I’m happy with our relationship
I hate maths and every subject that is related to numbers. I can’t count.
I need money. I want to learn how to cook professionally and see the world. I need money so that I can share the many things that i want to share with others. At this moment, I can’t really 
share alot because I am broke.
I am happy when i see others smile because i made them smile. Knowing that you have made a positive difference in the lives of others is one of the greatest gifts.
My lucky picks
I am gonna tag…..the elephant, Isaac, Cibol, Albert, Addy, Adeline,Charlie, Dora
Tomorrow, Isaac will be catching his flight to Sabah. Tentatively, he is going back for good in accordance to his parent’s wishes. Will he come back in future? I am not sure but I guess the chances of us meeting again will be pretty low since I am most unlikely to remain in Kuala Lumpur for a long time.
When he told me a month ago that he was leaving, I did not feel much. People come and go and I have learned to accept it. But today, as I think of his departure, I feel sad. Sad because I am going to miss him.
Who is he? He is just another guy, another student, a normal dude but having him being what he is makes him special to many around him. I had never imagined having him as my housemate and it happened. It has been delightful having him around in the house. Though he has his own weaknesses, his companionship, his laughter, his friendship, his helping hands… makes life so interesting and fun. Though we never really had much heart to heart talks but Isaac has contributed much in making me a happy being. Thank you Isaac for your friendship. May you find happiness, satisfaction and peace in your future undertakings.
Isaac! A friend who…..
Laughs at least once a day at every single thing that he feels it’s funny
Loves to hang around and makes you feel that your presence does matter
Loves his laptop very much
Loves food and really knows how to treat himself good
Really loves himself so much so that many has called him vain or narcissistic
Does not like to be left out
Loves God very…very much
Has hands that cannot stay put and has to fidget on at least something, especially his keys
Can be pretty flirtatious with many girl-friends
Can be emotional at times but usually very open-minded
Is always available to help whenever he can
Is always keen to try and experience new things
Is pretty good with computers
The list can go on and on….but with the little that has been listed, I am sure gonna miss you for all that is listed above and for many more reasons……and if you are reading this blog, I think you are smiling with much satisfaction…right? God bless!
One more song
Time goes on far too fast
And w e wish these days always last
There comes a time and here we are
It is time to go and chase that star
But together we’re apart
You are always in my heart, when I sing
One more song, one more day
To remember the times we have to celebrate
The love that we’ve share
One more time, one great prayer
And we hope to live the future
Where we will find the new song to sing
As we go from this place
I will always remember your face
And now we must say goodbye
When I speak the words is hard not to cry
But together we’re apart
You are always in my heart, when I sing
