great fish vs whale

it took me 12 years to realise that the bible didn't mention that Jonah was swallowed by a whale....

But the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.
- Jonah 1:17 (NIV) -

see how interesting the bible can be??

another life lesson..

after receiving several undeserved favours, i have now received what i deserve... i failed my exams.. 100% failure - cause i sat for 2 papers, and failed both... it's my first failure since my first driving exam (excluding all the mock exams which i failed most of it).. i'm ok though..checked my results during the midnight as usual.. the moment i saw my results, it just 'hit' me, telling me it's time to get serious and study harder and smarter.. cause i've been slacking and taking it lightly last semester.. i just feel bad and guilty that i've wasted my dad's money...

i'm determined to do it much better this june.. thinking on the brighter side, it's good that i failed cause even if i've passed it, i don't seem to have any knowledge of those 2 papers..i seriously didn't study well enough... hope the knowledge i need would be well enhanced this time and i thank God for giving me the determination to study better and yet, another life lesson...

truly, He gives me countless reasons to be thankful for - good times, bad times...in every single situation... GIVE THANKS.

it's been a happening month for me.. first i lost my dog, then i failed my exams.. i wonder what's next.. i believe God wants to mould me and train me to be a stronger and better person.. this new year seemed really new this time.. my life seems so different compared to last year.. yet i know, He has the greatest plans for me for only He knows what's best for me..

watched "sanctum" last night and the ticketing guy thought i was underage.. haha.. it's been a while since i passed the age to watch movies with the "18 something" label.. it was quite a hilarious scene and indeed a compliment for me =p sanctum was a good movie, if you like adventure movies..

guess that's all for now..till then!

p/s. been almost 2 weeks since my dog went missing and i'm still waiting for her... someone saw a dog like mine in first garden, someone else saw another one like her in bercham but nobody saw her near my area.. i wonder where she is now...

96 hours

it's been about 96 hours now....

i wonder
where she is...
how she is...
is she hungry?
is she sick?
is she injured?

or is someone taking good care of her? i'm still waiting with hope.. must have been 96 rough hours for her... i'm sure she misses us as much as we miss her... and i really hope she's safe...

p/s. God is mysterious and sometimes it's hard to accept what He has willed and planned... i'm still learning....

still missing...

it's been about 19 hours since we found crystle missing.. i wonder where she is.. hiding somewhere, wandering about outside, kept by someone in the house ?? i just hope she's safe cause she definitely doesn't know how to cross the road well.. i pray that she'll come back soon safely... i dreamed she came back and i really hope it's not just a dream.... she must be hungry =(

God, please bring her home safely.....

Crystle is MISSING ='(

Crystle's been missing for a few hours... i've no idea where she is now ='(

went to penang this morning, came back at about 9.30pm and she was nowhere to be seen.. the gate was properly closed so there's no way she could squeeze out at all.. the only possibility is that she could have jumped up the cage by the wall and over to my neighbour's house and ran out somewhere... it's all because of the fireworks - her biggest fear.. it's especially loud and horrifying for her tonight...

we've searched everywhere we could but still no sight of her.. all we can do now is just pray and hope that she's safe and that she'll find her way back home soon.. and i strongly believe that she'll come back soon.. i'm not ready to lose her...

please pray for her safety and that she'll be able to find her way back home.. thanks...

p/s. i hate fireworks..

all about Crystle on CNY eve....

almost everyone has a new hairdo for this chinese new year and my doggy, crystle is no exception, only difference is, it's fur-do instead...

i gave her a fur-cut this morning with the help of my dad who caught hold of her while i did the cutting... here's the result :



what do you think?? hehe.. the 'before' picture was actually taken in october when she had a serious fur-fall due to the ticks problem so she was kinda bald then.. it's not really a comparable picture but the most comparable i could find..

oh how i enjoy grooming her.. the best part about cutting your dog's fur is - no complaints about bad haircut no matter how bad it may seem.. i can cut however i want to as long as i think it looks good so yeah, i'm proud of it =)

captured some pictures after bathing her... you have no idea how difficult it is to get good pictures of her looking at the camera or at least facing it...


wet look..


on 2 legs...


her eyes were fixed only on one thing actually - treat !


see the trimmed tail.. hehe







and when night came, the noise of the firecrackers came as well and that's one of her biggest fears...

she entered the house and refused to go out...


we usually forbid her from entering the house but this time, we pitied her...


then she got comfortable on the rug..


camera shy...


and she went inner and inner..


and dosed off...


this is still her current position...

when CNY begins, nightmare begins for crystle....

p/s. chea, her ears are still the same size... it's the trimmed fur which made it look smaller! haha...
