Horrible in directions

I'm so horrible in directions. Honestly! And today I wasn't the only one.

I went for Korean Stone BBQ with Kit Yan, Joanna and Clarice for dinner. It was fun BBQing the fish, chicken and lamb, and also eating steamboat. The only thing was that the BBQ made our faces oily and the hot butter from the pot kept splashing and burning us as we were cooking the meat. Otherwise, it was fun. Really missed hanging out with Kit Yan, Joanna and Clarice. Someone was missing though. At least she's coming back in August, then we'll get to hang out! ;)

After dinner, I sat in Kit Yan's car and Joanna sat in Clarice's car and we went to some hill to see the view of KL. It was awesome to see the lights lighting up KL at night. After that, I followed Clarice's car to go home while Joanna followed Kit Yan's car to go back to their place.

And guess what? Clarice and I got lost! LOL! It was so funny. We took the wrong turning and ended up in the middle ring road heading towards KLIA. We actually passed Cheras and we passed Kit Yan's church (Charis Christian Centre). Fortunately, we managed to take a U-turn and head home. A little late but at least we found our way home. Embarrassing but hilarious. Haha. I bet Kit Yan and Joanna are going to be laughing their heads off when they hear this story.

LoL I'm really sorry but I'm bad at directions! Haha. Oh well, it was an adventure. Embarrassing but funny adventure. Hehe.

Will blog and post pictures of my birthday celebration as soon as I get the pictures. =) Feeling tired now. So...

Night!

24

I have about 24 hours to make the most out of my 19th birthday. And somehow I worry that I won't enjoy it as much as I want to. Kind of dumb worrying that way, huh.

*Takes deep breath*

Here goes!

Oh by the way, I just realised..I'm 19. I'll be 20 in a year! Gosh...so old! :S

**Ok ok chill. One at a time, Joanne.

Haha. Enjoy this day! All of you! Because it's my birthday! Haha

Just grateful

Have you ever taken a step back and just look at your life and think, "Wow...how did I get here?" And I don't mean in a bad way. More like, looking at your life in awe.

Of course there are things in life that didn't quite go my way. There were times when I thought, "Aargh, why did I do that? That was so embarrassing!" or "I wish I never did that, it made my parents/friends/relatives upset." And of course there were times where I look at my life and felt like it was meaningless, thinking, "Why is this happening to me?" or "I wish I was never born into this world."

But the thing that overshadows all these sections of my life, is the thought that goes like this, "Wow, awesome...It's amazing at how God has been working in my life." There are so many things that happened in my life where I thought it was impossible, like it didn't make sense. But it did happen. Coincidence? I don't think so. Because there would've been too many coincidences in my life.

There are many things in life that I do regret. For the times I disappointed my parents. For the times I disappointed God. For the times I fought with my brother. For the times I had stupid fights with some people who could be great friends, but I blew that friendship. If I were given the chance to go back, would I do it all over again? Maybe. Maybe not. Whatever it is, at least now I know what to do if I were to face the same situation in the future. To turn regrets into life lessons.

I do fear the future. The paths I’m going to take. But, at least I do have this security that God will help me through it all.

All in all, I'm just grateful I got this far in life. I'm just grateful that God has been so awesome in my life and that He is still doing awesome stuffs in my life. I'm just grateful for the people around me He blessed me with. I just thank You, God.



Happy 19 to me. =)
