Watching...
And then I remember, the mind is there. It has always been the barrier to everything beautiful and hopeful. I wonder oh God, when will I be able to act upon the desires that You have put into my heart? To not think twice and second guess myself anymore. When will I be able to not hide my true feelings? To not be afraid or ashamed by what the world sees.
I need You to help me see, the beautiful of every bad ending. And the everlasting joy and peace of every good ending. Let my heart not be afraid anymore. Let my spirit and flesh move to every beat that You cause my heart to. I need You.. And so does my heart, Lord...

Always Seem To Be..
I'm sick of just looking at it with silence. I wanna branch out and be able to make it MINE. But how? I just don't know what I can do. It aches and it pains me to feel this way again and again. I want to throw it back into the ocean and let it DROWN. But I think, I threw myself in with it...
God, save me....

My Role Model
But, even when shes sick. Or in the hospital. She never fails to go to church every sunday, riding on her little old bike. Shes been all alone by herself for the past 25 years ever since her husband died(my great grandpa). Last night I wondered to myself, even with my family and friends around me. Yet, I feel lonely sometimes. And my great grandma has been alone by herself for 25 years. Washing, cooking and cleaning all by herself. I definitely believe that in her spare time, she talks to God a lot. And that's how I know why she doesn't feel alone at all. Because God, is really in her life. She told my mum before, that she sometimes misses her husband. But, because of God.. She is able to overcome the lonely times in her life. When I thought about that last night. I just thought to myself "Wow.. shes such an incredible woman.. I wanna grow to be just like her.." Despite her health and lack of physical support. She is still passionate about God. And even through the lonely times. The ONLY person she seeks, is GOD. I can't help but to cry thinking about it.
Because, its so powerful and yet touching at the same time. My great grandma definitely left something for me to grow on with. Which is to know, that God is with me 24/7. And even during the bad times, know that my faith, love and believe in Him will overcome ALL loneliness and difficulties. I know very well, that even as shes laying on the hospital bed right now. Shes thinking about God, and when she will go HOME:')... I know that she'll be fine for sure. Cause she never stops fighting. Shes a WARRIOR. A WARRIOR for GOD.

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." 1 Peter 5:6-10
:) =) =] :') =') =']
Change
Right now, learning how to let go of some1 really dear to me is another task at hand. I really don't know if I can take another heartbreak or let another person go anymore. It feels like I've let go a lot of things in life. And every time that I do, it feels like something NEW. And every time it happens it is never easier. But harder. :')... I always hated the fact that I have to let something go even though I really love it. Who likes it anyway? But we have to when it just happens right?
Right now, I don't even know what I'm talking abt. Lol.. Its like, everything is splashed on a piece of paper but with very ugly colours. Went to church today and of course, its FATHER'S DAY!! =)... I really cried a lot becoz of what is happening. And at the same time, I felt really really really BAD becoz I'm crying while I should be joyful. Its Father's Day for goodness sake! And I'm suppose to wish my Father in Heaven a Happy Father's Day but instead I'm crying.. -.-"...
While I was crying, I kept saying to God. "Daddy... I'm really really sorry... I know that I shouldn't cry especially when its Father's Day. I'm really sorry that I'm crying right now.. I really am sorry. :'("... But my Father was gracious of me. He told me "Its okay... Just cry... Just don't give up.. DON'T GIVE UP!"... I can't help but to cry even MORE. I just felt like an UNDYING LOVE and SUPPORT from Him just POURED upon me. And I felt His hugs. When I felt all those, I just couldn't stop crying. I COULDN'T!! I HAVE to be STRONG not for myself but for GOD. Because He needs me just as much as I need HIM!!
Its not going to be easy. But I will DO MY BEST because my Father loves me! Right now, I will just take my time to heal while I look upon Him :')
"Letting go of you is the hardest thing for me right now. But doing it without God, would have killed me...."
Lord, I trust in You. Therefore, I lean on You and Your strength right now...
P.S- HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE FATHERS! AND TO YOU, DADDY IN HEAVEN ULTIMATELY!!! =)

The Place Where It All Started
Anyway, as my bros, mum and I arrived at their house. I walked in 1st with 2 pairs of crocs on my hand(a gift for them from my mum). The 1st person I saw when I walked in was my grandpa. He was sitting down on a chair reading his newspaper(kampung style.. LOL!). He heard me walking in and he turned his head to see who was it. When he saw me and my bros, I think there was a 3 secs pause. I just said "Hi grandpa :)".. He looked at me and my bros and said "Hello.." And then he invited us in and stuff. Then my grandma came out from the kitchen. The 1st thing she did was, she held me and she looked at me up and down. And she said "Waaaa... hooi hooi grow up adi.. Such a big girl already.." I can feel tears rolling down my eyes as I saw her. Because, I just couldn't believe that I'm actually seeing her and my grandpa. I was just so overwhelmed by the whole thing.
And of course, they were really happy when they saw my mum. And of course, my mum was really happy too! =).. We all talked a little. And my grandpa and grandma brought us to the kitchen to have some food (kampung style.. haha!xD)... I'm telling you, my grandpa is THE best chef EVER! The food he cooks are just so DELICIOUS. Its not just delicious but it feels like HOME. =)... Then my bros and I went outside to look at the neighbourhood and stuff while my mum catches up with my grandparents'.
I have to say that God really has a plan for everything. Things may be really harsh at times in life but He has His plans. And He is never hear to harm us. What my parents' went through was really really really bad.. The thought of it sometimes, when I think about the side effects of what my parents' went through in my life. Really just brings tears to my eyes. But, God is ever so merciful and gracious to all of us. He did take some stuff but He didn't took everything. And from the little amount that He took. He gave us back even more than we expected :').. It was just that period of time that was tough... But through that 7 years of hardship.. God was always there. My parents' left Him a long time ago ever since they got married.
But He never left them. And He never denied them as they have denied Him. Even though they went through all these for 7 years. But to me, it was all worth it. The outcome of it all is beyond amazing. Without this experience, I would have never known God and His love. Without this experience, my parents' would have never gone back to God and learned their lessons in life. Without this experience, we wouldn't know what we have lost until we really lose it. (family, friends and loved ones).. I'm really thankful to God that even though the money was gone. But my parents' weren't gone. Coz, I could have lost them in this battle in life. But God shined His light on them and was with them through every trial and darkness in their lives. And even in mine as well as I was struggling to grow up without my parents' presence at home most of the time during those days.
One thing's for sure. HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER. AND HE IS FOREVER GRACIOUS & MERCIFUL! =)

Behind Closed Curtains
Moulin Rouge is abit like Pride&Prejudice, but with a sad ending. The main character in this story died of a disease call "dry cough" which sort of means lung cancer as well. She and this man fell in love but their love was forbidden as she lives in a world where ppl think that they are BOUGHT to be valued and loved. She was bought by this DUKE who is powerful and filthy rich. To cut the long story short. The duke wanted to kill the man who love her if they continue to be together. At the end they got together in a most dramatical way on stage(you will have to watch the movie to get what I mean). When they were on stage, curtains were closed and the audiences applaud. But because of her disease, she died while the audiences were still applauding in front of closed curtains. But of course, before she took her last breath. She did said a few things to the man that she loves. Like "I love you..." this and that.. "write a story.. and I will always be with you..." etc etc.. You get the picture.
As I was watching the ending of the movie. I realized that many times in life. It seems like we're okay from the outside. But behind closed curtains and closed doors. We may be facing all the terrible and horrible things that ppl just do not know. Just like theatre. In front of the audience, we perform well and beautifully. Everything looks clean and perfect. But whats behind the backstage. We do not know. I just want to say, that whatever that you are going through behind closed curtains and doors. Some1 UP there knows what your going through. And He cares and loves you. So, never think that your alone. Because He is with you and He sees every tear that falls. Just believe in Him and trust that He will take care of everything. =)...

Grief..
And really wasn't satisfied at all. I felt even WORSE when one of the worker there (an old malay dude...) SO SARCASTICALLY said to me "Amoi~ turun turun... awak sudah buat cukup baik... sudah SANGAT baik la amoi~"... -.-!!... The way he said it was SO freaking sarcastic man!! I was so clueless on whats going on and was in a state of blurness already and yet this uncle came to me and tried to make fun of me... I wanted to just ask him to SHUT UP wei...
Anyway, went home and told my parents' about it at night... I got so worked up about it and got even MORE angrier... And I CANNOT believe that I cursed! Yes... for the 1st time in SUCH A LOONNGGG TIME... Emelia Cheng Voon Hooi cursed... -.-"... Nope.. not the F word.. But a mandarin word that my mum always used when shes EXTREMELY mad... And I have to say that after saying it.. I was NOT PROUD of myself at all. I could feel my Holy Spirit calling. He must've been like.. "Aiyo.. Emelia... why act on your grief??" Yup, I felt really bad. Went home to repent and apologize to God. The thing is, many times in our lives. Failure, challenges, problems, obstacles and etc can bring us down and we may allow grief to take over us. I really allowed it to take over me yesterday. I know that to you people, probably cursing and stuff is nothing. But do you realize that the more often you do it, the more you get addicted to it. From cursing, it can lead to hurting people around you or even yourself. And, its a RUDE thing to say.
So yea, what I've learned yesterday is to not let gried take over us. And any other negative emotions to drown us. I can say that I was kinda drowned by it yesterday. But I'm all okay now with His words and reminders. Thank You, God :)

Chris Tomlin - Unfailing Love (with lyrics)
When the song says, "And everything.. You hold in Your hand.. Still You make time for me.. I can't understand".. I truly cannot and can never understand why can God love me and YOU so much.. His love is just too overwhelming.. And its too MUCH... TOO MUCH... I just can't describe how much I love and adore You Lord.. Because of Your unfailing LOVE... Yeahh... Your unfailing LOVE..

EXCITED!!

Submission
Its going to be quite tough though.. I could hardly obey Him at all times and now He wants me to submit to Him..? O.O.. I kinda wondered today... "Father, aren't You asking for too much? Ehehehe...".. But I found this scripture.. and it tells me why I should..
"Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?....... Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you" James 4:1,7
Thats why... And I know that, God isn't asking becoz He wants a lot from me. Its becoz He loves and cares for me. And He just want me to stay close to Him and becareful:).. Love You Lord:)..

Speaking of BOLDNESS?
Thats why the rulers, elders and teachers of the law felt threatened. Okay la, its very long for me to keep on typing "rulers, elders, and teachers of the law".. Lets sum all of them up in 1 nickname kay? I shall call them.. "Bad AhPeks".. Okay? Nice right? Hahah!xD.. So, when Bad AhPeks ask Peter&John to not spread the good news and warned them that if they do they will be punished, jailed, etc etc. But Peter&John replied"Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
What I'm trying to say here is that, a lot of us as Christians. We've heard, seen, smell and taste of God's realness and GLORY in our lives. But we dare not take that step of faith for Him to go share the good news(the gospel). Some of us don't even care at all. Its like, " save myself then can already la.."... But, this is NOT the love that God has given us. He has given us the love that SHOULD be spread all OVER THE WORLD! Let the Holy Spirit FILL you with BOLDNESS and STRENGTH TO GO and make a STAND for our Father in Heaven who loves us so much. We can do this! God did not give us the attitude of timidity but the attitude of going OUT THERE and the POWER TO CHANGE! Lets do this together and take the example of Peter&John.. Amen? :)
"He is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:11-12

Needs and not Wants
When the crippled beggar was begging for money(to Peter& John). Peter looked at him and said.. "Look at me!" so the beggar looked, expecting money from them. Then Peter said.. "Money I do not have.. But what I have I give you. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.. WALK!".. So then the crippled beggar starting feeling a lot of strength on both of his legs.. And started walking.
You see, the beggar WANTED money to feed himself and things like that. But it was God who KNEW what the crippled beggar NEEDED. From God through Peter, the crippled beggar is HEALED! And you might ask, whats the use of his legs being healed again? The reasons are, No.1.. Isn't it good that he is able to walk like any normal human being already?.. No.2.. Since he is able to walk.. He can look for job.. No.3.. Since he can look for a job, it also means that he is able to feed himself everyday without begging for money. No.4.. He doesn't need to humiliate himself anymore by begging in front of the temple and being looked down upon by the public.
Isn't God awesome? Sometimes, we think that what we WANT is what we NEED. But very clearly, that God knows what we NEED. Our WANTS sometimes can be of evil intentions. Thats why sometimes we wonder. Why doesn't God give me this and that?? Have you ever thought that its because its not for you to own or to have at all/at this moment? Have you ever thought that what you want might harm you for the rest of you life/at this moment? I'm guessing that the answer is no right? Anyway, God knows what we NEED and therefore He gives us of what WE NEED instead of what we WANT. The WANTS and all those things will be persecuted by God to decide whether is it the right time or whether is it the right thing for us. But all in all, for sure God will give us what we NEED 1st. For sure we will be hardened, hurt and not satisfied because we do not get what we WANT. But FOCUS on what you NEED. Because, with the NEEDS that has been given to you by God can be used and will bring you to a LOOONNNGG WAY.
So yea, trust in the Lord for He knows what is BEST FOR YOU! =)

Hiding Place
He is my Hiding Place. To shield me from the world that always wants to kill. To shield me from the tears and everything bad. He can be UR Hiding Place too:)
HE LOVES YOU=)
His Love that brings The "One"
Would be some1 who wouldn't let me worry abt all these things coz he is given to me from my Father in Heaven:) Whom He has chosen rightly for me and me for him =).. And then at the end of the drama. Theres this couple who hugged each other and embraced each other. I ALWAYS wanna know how it felt like to hug a man that I love. But I always know for a fact that some1 in my life have always been there hugging me through the bad and the good times:).. My Daddy in Heaven=).. When I was born as a baby, as a little girl, a woman and an old woman in the future. Until I go HOME. Hes always there to hold me tight.. And this thought made me tear.. :')
When I was a baby.. He held me close and loved me in every bit that I am.
Even when I was a little girl.. He held me at all times.
Even til' now or in the future.. I know that everytime I cry He is there to open His arms for me. His hugs, encouraging words & LOVE is all that I need to get through the day.
And 1 day, I know that He'll send the "one" into my life. But I know that He will never leave me or him. He will hug us both together in unity=).. Because of God's love. And my love to Him. I believe that I will be able to love the "one" in my life unconditionally and sincerely. As I love God more and put Him as no.1 in my life. I am able to give unconditional love to the ones around me and also to my future hubby=).. I love You Daddy.. And thank you for "him".. Even though I do not know who it will be right now. I AM THANKFUL for the THINGS TO COME! =)

D-I-S-T-R-A-C-T-I-O-N-S
When you think of distractions. What comes to mind? Internet, parents'(not that their bad distractions:P), music, problems and etc. Anything can be a distraction just as long as it takes ur attention away from doing the important things. I think, the most distraction I've got is when I am doing my TAWG(Time Alone With God). A friend of mine told me that he had lack of dicipline during his TAWG, mostly because of the distractions around. And it made him felt empty inside. I think, a lot of us christians have this problem. And its really important to know how to avoid these distractions during our TAWG.
Before we do our TAWG. I think its really important that we pray against the evil one 1st. Because the evil one is capable of distracting and disturbing our TAWG. Hence, all these distractions come and we give into them. Pray for strength to have the consistency in our TAWG. And also pray for the strength to stand firm in His presence whenever distractions come. Then only you start ur TAWG. I am sure that even as God says that He hears our cry He will hear that important prayer before our TAWG as well:).. During TAWG, be sure to SURRENDER all that you are to Him. I believe that as your fully into Him and into His presence during TAWG, no distractions will come. Even if they do, you will be able to withstand them. Therefore, it gives the devil no power to disturb ur intimate time with the Lord at all. YEAH! VICTORY IS OURS!! :)
YEAHHH~ JUMP FOR VICTORY YO!! haha! xD.. So yea, just do whatever thats important. Most importantly, just enjoy ur TAWG!! :)
"20 For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. 21 But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago." Romans 3:20-21

The Last Song
Yes, the lead actress is Miley Cyrus and the Australian hottie is Liam Hemsworth*drools* haha! xD..
This is actually the original cover and I LOVE IT! =)
This is LIAM HEMSWORTH! An Australian.. aahhhh~ Australia.. Land of Hotties.. hahaha! xD
Let me give you a short synopsis of the book. Seventeen-year-old Veronica 'Ronnie' Miller's life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Tybee Island, Georgia. Three years later, she remains angry and alienated from her parents, especially her father ...until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer on Tybee Island with him. Ronnie's father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church. The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story about love in its myriad forms - first love, the love between parents and children - that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that deeply felt relationships can break our hearts ...and heal them.
Yup, thats practically about it. Itching to have the book?? I HAVE IT! And not borrowing it to any1!! Muahahahha! It cost a LOT kay?? So yea, sorry ppl! :P.. I was blessed to be able to buy it at a 20% discount (MPH warehouse sale that day).. Ehehhehe.. Original price cost about RM60++.. The book is thick. So even at RM60++ its all worth it:).. It made me cry kay? It even made my guy friend cry when I borrowed it to him(thats when I decided not to borrow it to any1 else anymore. Thanks to him!). So yea, its really an awesome book. Grab it ppl! :).. Thats all from me today!
~!CHAO!~**
