Boo!

Was kinda late for my second class that I tought today. I wasn't late late...
I came in on the dot. Yes, exactly at 9:30 a.m. thinking that this is just another day.

The door was closed, and I was really in a hurry to go in to the classroom. The minute I opened the door, my students, specially those boys, shouted "BOO!" And, when things like this happen, I, as always, scream real loud! My sisters can sure testify on this matter...

And guess what! That's what I did too today! Yeap, Miss Hendra screamed in front of her students today! But, luckily all the papers and books that she was carrying were still in placed. And we were all laughing after that...

I think my face turned blue and red after that. Blue because I was scared! Real scared! And red because, of course, I was embarrased for screaming in front of my students.

There goes my credibility! Oh well....

Forgetful LeeYa...

It's the second time in a week! I totally forgot that I have a Media Buying test! Last week I totally forgot too. And, weirdest part is, they're both for Media Buying class. Mann, what's wrong with me?? So, I'm now frantically studying in my lovely office! Arrghhh I'm so sleepyyyyyy......

Perception...

Perception.

It's something that you can't control, yet it is there.
No matter what you do, no matter what you say, people are constantly 'judging' you. Although they don't know the hidden motives that you have; why you do certain things; why you mingle with certain groups; why you talk about certain things; the bottom line is you are 'that' kind of a person.

You can't help it. You can't say anything. It's out of your hands.

So, does perception equals to assumption? Perhaps. Not always, but it can certainly lead to that. The hardest part to accept is when the person who's making assumption is someone who you think knows you well.

Too good to be true.....

A lot of things were confirmed today.
God is great!
He spoke right into my heart.

My visions were sharpened..
My questions were answered...
My doubts were removed...

"Father, I thank You for the great day.
I thank You for a great service.
I thank You for being who You are.
I thank You for the privilege to serve a great Master.
And my master is You.
I thank you for things that You've planned for me ahead of a time.
Father, I ask that You guide me,
You lead me,
and You walk beside me each and every day.
Thank you, Father for Your blessings!
In Jesus name I pray!
Amen..."

My confession...

Dear LeeYa's 'lil corner's readers,

I have a confession to make.

I've been getting congratulations e-cards, emails and comments about the dog's pics I posted few days ago. I have not gotten the dog yet. I have not bought her yet. What happened was, my sisters and I went to this small petshop here in town, and they have this pug. We did fall in love with her. We did take pictures with her. And, yes, we did name her Lolly. But, she's still not ours yet. We do want her badly, but we just can't get her this time.

So, I apologize if that past entry was misleading. I do thank you for the cards and everything. At least you all have helped brighten my days! Thanks, friends!

From,
Lee Ya

I broke the very first rule to success in grad school last nite!

A little complaint...

Alright! A good friend of mine who claims to be one of the faithful readers to my blog made a little complaint today. Yes, it's Mr. David Lim! Lim Chee Siang to be exact!

He said overall my blog was okay.
Layout was fine.
Pictures were good.
Writing was okay.
He said he doesn't want to comment too much on teacher's writing.. haha!
Silly boy...

However, despite all the good stuffs that he mentioned, there is one thing that this blog is lacking (according to him)! Yes, it lacks of his name! He told me he's never seen his name mentioned anywhere in this blog! Hahaha!

So, Mr. Lim..... You're name is on!!! Congratulationssssss!!!

Fall break is over

Hmmm.... fall break is over! It's time to get back to reality!

Spent most of my fall break with my Dad! How lovely! Although it was a real short visit, it's totally worth it! One thing that is too sweet to pass was we didn't have to cook! Haha how nice! Totally pampered!

Now, I guess, back to the old days! Hmmmm.....

So, we named her Lolly..... !!!

Sang your songs
Danced your dance
Played your part
But, the scene is not mine
I'm getting off from the stage...
Have a good play!

My Kairos moment

College life.
A life that many say they would not trade for anything else.
A life that many say we can enjoy to the fullest.
A life that many say there's nothing to be worried about.
A life that many say we can always cherish.

We wake up. We go to school. We work. We study. We hang out. We have lunch at the student center. We go to class. We hang out again. We study again. We work again. We sleep. We wake up again the next day. We go to class. We work. We work again. We hang out again. We eat. We sleep again.

It seems like it's repetitious. It seems like it's so monotone. It seems like it's predicted.

If it is that way, why do I even continue schooling? I even thought of pursuing another degree after graduation. So, what is it about school life that really attracts me?

Many of my friends complain that school life is totally boring. Many claim that it's very monotone. However, I don't feel that way. I feel that my school life is very colorful. My school life is always unpredicatable. My school life is simply GREAT!

And this is what God intends to do in our lives, whether it is a working or school life. He doesn't want our lives to be boring. He doesn't want us to feel stupid. God has blessed me with so many things in so many different areas. I have wonderful brothers and sisters that I can always count on. I have great friends that are there with me. I have a great church that supports me and lifts me up in their prayers. And this is what God wants to do in your life. All you need to do is just ask God. It's just that simple. When God is involved in our life, He will direct us to His prosperous plan. It's His promise.

There were times in the past when I totally ignored God. There were times when I felt that God was unfair. There were times when I felt that going to church and fellowships are not worth it. There were times when I felt I should just get away from those church people.

Guess what? It didn't last very long. God pulled me back into His circle. And also, I felt that I've missed out on a lot of cool stuffs.

My Christian friends, I really encourage you to get connected with other fellow believers, if you haven't done so. You'll never know what God wants to do in your life. My other friends, I really encourage you to get a taste of what it is like to be connected to a group that supports you in anyway. Get a glimpse of how great your life can be when God is moving. I encourage you to give God at least a chance to fulfill His promise, coz you'll be surprised!

A song that I love the most right now!

Dunia Tanpa Lagu
by Delon

oh kasih dengar aku
hanya ada satu cinta
buka saja relung di hatimu
untuk aku yg menginginkanmu

Chorus:
andaikan saja engkau mengerti
sungguh berarti dirimu
hidup ini tanpa cintamu
bagai dunia tanpa lagu

Ending:
jangan pernah samakan diriku
dengan cintamu yg tlah lalu

Happy 1st anniverssary, the Mission!

Yeap! Today is the day! We finally made it for a year!

The Mission is not only an ordinary group for me.
This is a ministry group that is based on friendship and love...
This is the group where I learn a lot how to do ministry...
This is a group where I learn how to love on people...
This is a group where I can be the true me...
This is the group that I can call my family...
This is the group that means the world to me...

I can't belive we've been 'together' for a year. Last year, the same day, we had the first fellowship at the Fairmount tower. Guess what? Our visitor was only one. Yeap, ONE only...

However, God has been so good!
He has multiplied the people in our group...
He has shown His faithfulness in our lives and others' too...
He has blessed us with so many talented people...
In other words, He has been there with us all the time...

Now we're gonna move on to a bigger vision that God has laid in our hearts. Although I'm really sad to leave Southwind Fellowship, the church where I've been going to for about 4 years here in wichita, I know something great is about to come! And, we're excited about it! We really are... The next weeks and months are gonna be challenging for the Mission. But, we're ready! Even though we will end up with a few people for each Sunday service, I truly believe something great is gonna happen... God is working! And, He'll keep working in our lives! Thank you, Jesus! You are awesome!
