Journey of Happiness

Six years ago, I was so looking forward to your birth. Although I was still in Shepparton, but I felt we were bonded the second you were born. These six years, no matter where I was; Liverpool or home, I have never stopped being amazed by the miracles God has made; how you were created and how you grow each day in His faithful cares. Everyday, you teach me new things through your cheerful smiles, shiny eyes and happy personalities. And today, I give thanks unendlessly to the Lord, for you... for a beautiful angel and beloved sister that He has given into my life. Happy 6th birthday, Grace! Cece loves you!

T oday was Grace's dance performance at the church. With 8 other girls, they were dancing just before the sermon started. Ever since she was small, Grace loves to dance, play music and sing. She is a kind of person that has that HUGE creativity inside her. It is the talent that God has put inside her. I am proud to be her big sister and so blessed that I can have both brothers and sister. It is just complete. Seeing her glowing eyes, makes my heart joyful, it is like seeing a well full of happiness inside it. So deep and yet can be clearly seen. She is a smart, happy and active girl. She has such bright future in front of her! And I, when I am able enough, would like to help my parents to support my siblings. They have done much for me and I shall remember them. No, I am not repaying, because they told me that what they've done are parents' responsibilities, but, I am sharing with my blessings. After what I can achieve, I want my siblings to achieve at least the same leve...

R emember I told you all about me doing a secret mission?? Well, I am enjoying my time doing the mission! It is a cool mission! Maybe all of you start to think... Hmmm... Sherly is having too many secrets these days!! Well, yes, it is true, I have to admit it! However, I promise, there will be time when you all know what it is about (as long as you all are patient waiting for some time hehe). I am very happy typing up this post, because just some minutes ago I received the scanned offer letter from my supervisor. The genuine letter is still on the way, in a place somewhere between Liverpool and Denpasar, hehehe... But, even reading only the scanned letter gives me a great joy and gratefulness to my Jesus for He fulfils all the desires of my heart as He says in the Bible. My obedience is paid by Him. Thank you, my Jesus, for millions of gifts You send me every day of my life. Now, about him aka secret admirer , he is planning to come to Denpasar early July. Please help in prayers...

P raise The Lord! I just read a great news from my supervisor-to-be today. The University of Liverpool have sent me the offer letter last Friday, 16th February 2007. That's not the end of the process yet... In fact, the 'battle' begins now. I have to start sending the application forms for various scholarships and of course, pray harder and continually. So, first of all, thank you for all of you that have been helping in prayers for my PhD application. And secondly, please continue to help in prayer for the scholarship applications. I know and am sure that The Lord has great plans for me. About the secret admirer that everybody has been curious of... Well, again, it is not the time yet for me to say who it is, but one day, I will tell you. Hehehe... *that doesn't say much, does it?* But, devishanty was right to say that, since I know the person, he is not a secret anymore to me, but a secret to all of you. So, I shall leave him with the name secret admirer unti...

W hile I was busy checking my e-mails around 8 p.m. yesterday, my mobile phone was ringing... Anynomous Call *who could it be?* I was surprised to hear his voice. It was my secret admirer !!! *ciyeee...* I was so happy to have conversation with him , it was such a sweet surprise. Although it was only a 7-minutes conversation, I can feel how caring he is, but... that is not enough for him . Today, when I opened my email, I found an e-card from him . I really never expected to receive such sweet gifts at all, but he left me amazed! Eits... You must be wondering who could he be, right? Well, I can't tell you just yet. When the time is right, I will tell you this special he of mine. *wink*

S omebody told me that chicken pox is something that everybody has to 'enjoy' once in their lifetime. Not for me. Chicken pox is a nightmare for those that experienced chicken pox TWICE in their lives, and that includes ME! So I really had enough and fed up with the suffering. In addition, the itch it creates makes, even the adults, go nuts, so I am sure you all can imagine if the children have it. Yep, that's what happenning! Han and Grace are having chicken pox! So, for million times in a day, we have to remind them: "Don't scratch it! Or else...," you all know the continuation. I am feeling itchy and nuts everytime I see the blisters, even so, those excuses don't save me from taking care of my little bro and sis. I am better now, just tired... I know, now, how tired my mum is (at least a portion of her tiredness). That's why I just have to still do this and that. Another news for you all is that I didn't make it through to UWE after the int...

I 'm seriously asking that question now... My family's health is in a mess right now; Han and Grace have been having fever today and my condition is not that better as well. Since the last posting, I have been up and down with the stupid illness, sometimes cough, sometimes sore-throat and many other things. Yes, the weather has been very bad lately. The extreme heat that almost everybody whines about, and to be honest, it really is HOT! *I'm not trying to exagerate here* And for me, who has been living in a cold and wet country, this is really a huge blow to my body. *hiks* Lately, I have started to think about the nice and cold winter days in Liverpool, making me want to go back there ASAP. Anyways, I just can't make a decision in a snap of my fingers like that. Everything has to go through a process, the Lord taught me that over the years... and so, I try my best to still be positive about this heat, coz I know, I will miss it when I get back to UK. That is sooo h...

C uaca yang gak enak banget gini; kalo siang panas banget, kalo malem dingin karena hujan, bikin aku roboh lagi. Kali ini aku diserang flu deh... hidung jadi mampet, meler, kepala pusing, badan juga kadang panas dingin. Hiks sebel sebel sebel!!! Masa hari Jumat ke kawinan temen dengan bawa virus begini?! Padahal kemaren sudah minta kerok segala, punggung jadi belang seperti harimau. Duh... ga tau deh!

I n the golden court of the King, There are festivities and joy. The angels sing never-ending praises to the King above all kings. They dance in colourful clothes to worship the Lord above all lords. The majesty of the King and His mighty splendour shine over the heaven from the holy throne throughtout the eternal banquet. - inspired by the vision Jesus gave during the church service today. The truth is that, words cannot express how wonderful it is to be in heaven with Jesus, but one thing that everyone should know is that heaven is real ! Update: Today, I received the first wedding invitation from among my friends. My friend is going to marry on 9th Febuary 2007. They seem to be happy and I am happy for them. And I... linger on the memories, on my wishes, on our wishes...
