Finally found time to blog after 3 weeks spent in the US! Time really flies man. Lots of things have happened over these short 3 weeks here! work has been fine so far..was given a lot of hrs the past 3 weeks! God has been my provider ever since i gt my money and camera stolen, losing my HP and IPOD at HK airport. My first paycheck came in, and indeed God has been gd! (:

Made new friends, bumped into both nce and nasty customers. I work at HOT POTATO in cedar point and i practically do everything there! slicing potatoes, frying fries,carrying, washing and handling the cash register!! (:

I finally found time to go to the park and enjoy the last 2 days! (: having loads of funnnnn! shopping at walmart is another joy!

After that, went to Manhattan's fish market for dinner!! ate so much todayyy.

It's gonna be exciting tml! visiting an island and rainforest in the mountains!

My long awaited summerrrr is here! (:

THANK GOD for seeing me thru one year at SMU! can't believe i'm no longer a freshie. Anyway, i was smiling so widely after my last paper! i even said a prayer before i handed in my paper! I was praying and thanking God for seeing me thru such a hectic sem. Truly, i'm amazed how God has seen me thru this sem.

Thi sem was kinda stressful. the mods i took this sem were so time consuming! I remember breaking down a few times in the beginning of the sem. I guess God had a reason for me to feel that way..because after the mid term break i gt used to sch life and started taking each day at a time. by exam break i was so relaxed. Exam break and exam period were my most relaxed periods ever, and it's all by God's grace. (: I must say that this sem has been an exciting one for meeee!

I thank God for christian friends in school who constantly encourage and remind me! Indeed, they have been a blessing to me! Not forgetting my dearest brothers and sisters in christ in church too! thank you for praying for me!!!

Here comes summmmeerrr! lots of gatherings coming up and kota kinabalu with mum then WORK AND TRAVEL USAAAAA! (:

Answered prayers! (:

Thank God i secured another interview slot with the US embassy! and there was no mentioned for me to pat $50! praying that it is true! (:

God is goooddd. I thought i didn't have enough time to complete my biz law midterm exam..and felt that i wld do badly for that paper! but God gave me better than what i expected!! Praise God! (:

THank God for YF retreat, despite the few who came, i thank God for the precious fellowship we had! LTB execution would be considered a success! thank God everything went smoothly. no hiccups!! (:

Thank God for last sunday's jp outing. went tracting at teban and came back for games! though the turnout was low, i thank God for these little ones who brightened my sunday esp since i had to go to sch after that for meeting! I was really stressed that sunday...but these kids just lifted my spirits! (: THey are such a joy(:


Jaime is a happy girl in this post (: (: (:

Felt so stupid today ):

My first negative post in years! Today was an extremely bad day for me. I can't believe i didnt read the instructions propoerly before i went for my US visa interview!!
I was supposed to head to speedwing first in the morning to collect my documents before heading to the US embassy for my interview. I didnt read the part..collect docs at speedwing first. So, my interview was at 9.30am. I reached the US embassy at 8.30am. one hr early. nice. then, first stop, security..he asked me for my appointment letter( i was like what?! of course i didnt have it becos i didnt go to speedwing), and he told me to go home and print. But somehow he managed to call the front desk person to check if i had an appointment, and i did of course. so he let me in.
Next stop: Front desk lady. She asked to see my docs(which i didnt have with me), I said it was with speedwing, then she told me to go in to get queue no. AT THIS POINT OF TIME, IF SHE HAD TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED THOSE DOCS, IWLD HAVE GONE QUICKLY TO SPEEDWING AND TAKE THE DOCS! BUT SHE LET ME IN. nice.
Waited for 20mins for my turn to see the officer to hand in my "docs". Was rejected since i didnt have anything. 9.15am..no docs, how to go for interview at 9.30?
So what i did was i called speedwing and they told me to go down to take my docs and try my "luck" to see if the us embassy wld allow me to go for the interview. I cabbed down and cabbed back. And was rejected. And the front desk lady for super unreasonable and fierce! i was kinda scared if not i wld have persuaded her to let me in since i was only 15 mins late(according to speedwing, there is a grace period)

I seriously felt so stupid today. Like why didnt i think abt the situation whereby if i have no docs with me, how can i even register. I shld have known to go down to speedwing first. WHY AM I SO BLUR. Or why wasnt i thinking? I felt so devasted! I've never missed or turn up late for an interview before. speedwing has to rebook another interview slot and this may cost me $50. Praying that they will waive the fee.

I feel so down now. I was looking forward to a busy and exciting weekend. Now this has kinda dampened my mood. Off to Yf retreat soon! Ltb execution tml. Jp outing then heading to sch for filming of CT proj.

I was asking God why? as i waited for the bus. I felt that it was sth i cldnt bear at the moment in time. I cried. I trusted that He wld make a way when i was in the cab. Now, i'm not sure if i may get another interview slot but I'm trusting that God has His better plans for me.

I'm didnt expect myself to blog before exams. But i felt i needed to pour everything out. No smiley faces for this post. A lesson which i learnt it the hard way...

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

My song and prayer for 2009

Thou my everlasting Portion, more than friend or life to me,
All along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee, close to Thee, close to Thee,
All along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with Thee.

Not for ease or worldly pleasure, nor for fame my prayer shall be;
Gladly will I toil and suffer, only let me walk with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee, close to Thee, close to Thee,
Gladly will I toil and suffer, only let me walk with Thee.

Lead me through the vale of shadows, bear me over life’s fitful sea;
Then the gate of life eternal may I enter, Lord, with Thee.
Close to Thee, close to Thee, close to Thee, close to Thee,
Then the gate of life eternal may I enter, Lord, with Thee

when i sang this song on 1 jan2010 at leaders' conference, i teared. Loved this song since!! (:
