Miss Borneo IPBL 2011

One of the most awaited events in our institute is the 'Sambutan Hari Gawai & Pesta Kaamatan', but this year we have changed the name of the event to 'Sambutan Ngiling Bidai & Penutupan Pesta Kaamatan'.

This name is chosen to celebrate the ending season of Gawai & Kaamatan fever for the Borneo Malaysian people. The climax moment of this event is the 'Kumang Gawai & Unduk Ngadau' Competition. This year, the competition will be different from the former years where usually the winner will be crowned as 'Kumang Gawai' / 'Unduk Ngadau' for the girls and 'Keling Gawai' for boys. We are not looking into that category of winners. Instead, we decide to open this competition for all the beautiful ladies of who study in IPBL and surprisingly, we do have an Indian girls as one of the contestants whom is my own classmat. The sole winner will be crowned as MISS BORNEO IPBL (which is the first time ever!) Hopefully, this event will go smoothly as being plan. The date will be on 20th of July 2011, 830 pm at TAZA. I guess, all IPBL-ians are excited to know who will be the 1st MISS BORNEO IPBL!

To all the beautiful contestants, it doesnt matters who is the winner, because we are all beautiful in our own way.

Giving up

I have realised that there are things that i need to give up to move on. But now i am not yet ready for it, hopefully i will in time. I know that He is telling me something. He is approaching me in so many ways to tell what is 'it' about. I wont be able to fully move on with this thought and certain things in my life. I really don't like to be dependent especially to someone. Sometimes, i do feel that it is wrong for me to fall at the first place especially in this position right now. When the time comes, i hope that everyone would understand about it and help me in prayer.

Happy Sunday and GBU all.

you.and.them.are.BLESSINGS.in.my.life

I have chosen these words -you.and.them.are.BLESSINGS.in.my.life- as the title for my blog for some reasons.

The first one is because i believe that everything that comes to my life, good or bad, is a blessing. Yeah, its true that at some points in my life i do feel unsatisfied with the things around me. I complained and blamed people. But after complaining and said those things out, then only i feel a bit relieve. At times, i choose to keep my dissatisfaction inside or just ignore it. After all the bad and moody days go away, then only i realise something. The pain that i had gone through was the one that makes myself stronger each day. It teaches me something about life. I have learnt that there is a reason for everything and it will be only revealed at the end, which is on the right moment.

I still remember the moments where i had lost my spectacles during our drama competition in Sibu last year, that moments had taught me something about being grateful in life. I can't really remember how i lost it. The only thing that i knew that time was blaming myself for being so careless. So, i had to see with my blurry sight for few weeks. I wanted to buy new spectacles, but i was worried that it would cost me a lot of money, cause the price of the spectacles which i lost was around rm200, and that was almost half of my allowance. I don't want to burden my parents asking for money anymore. So i just kept quite and bear with the situation. In class, i almost lost my interest in learning literature cause i can't see the written words on the board. Then, after few weeks, i went to Saberkas with my classmates, and that day i didn't know why i really feel like stepping into the spectacles' shop. Right at that moment, i called my mom and honestly admit to her about my lost spectacles. Surprisingly, she just asked me to buy new one. So i went to the spectacles shop and saw a pair spectacles which was exactly the same with the design and colour of my former spectacles, and it only cost around rm60, almost 3 times cheaper than the former one. That was great!

Most importantly, at the end, the 'moment-of-having-no-spectacles' makes me realise that i am so blessed that i still can see through my eyes even though it is blur cause there are people out there who can't even see a single thing on this earth. We should be grateful for all the things in our life. It is not wrong to complain, just say out all your worry, cause God will be listening all the times. Everything will take place at the right time. good and bad things are surely followed by a blessed moment one day.

I strongly believe that you.and.them.are.BLESSINGS.in.my.life:)

'Facing the Giants'

As usual, every Thursday night, we will be having activity at the chapel. The activity for this week was movie night and we had watched this movie - 'Facing the giants'. It is such a wonderful and full of motivation kind of movie. It brought some refreshment to myself. Lessons that i have learnt from this movie are:

everyone fails at some points

stay humble but confident

face your fear

whatever comes to you life, leave it all to GOD

Sometimes it is not the problem that is chasing us but it is a challenge that we have to overcome and can only be solved in the present of God in our heart.

Me

I know that people do notice how quiet i am sometimes in the crowd. Being like that makes my presence absent. But i don't care at it all. I don't need any attention from anyone. Even though it is quite 'uninteresting' to be surrounded by people like me but it is the fact that everyone has to accept. Maybe my 'un- talkative' nature has failed to entertain people around me. If my words ever hurt you, so sorry for that, i just can't be the person that you wish to have. I know better the best way to channel out all my thoughts, feelings and unspoken words. There are just some things that i would love to keep it all by myself, a little secret which is only known between me and Him.
