Something to Remember

It's been awhile.

Reminiscing how I used to have you as part of my life, it was beautiful. 

How I used to be so dependent on you through hard times, I am thankful.

How I used to be so excited and looking forward to every hangout I've got with you, it was sweet. 

How I used to be the sensitive one throughout the long-distanced, it was tough.

How I used to always wished to talk on the phone with you, I was wishful.

How I used to think nothing will change, that was when everything changes. 

Just when I realized feelings will never stay for long, it comes and go, that was when everything comes to an end.

It is true, long-distanced was really a test, a test to see how both can still understand each other, how both can still have the connection, how both can still stay the same, having the heart for each other, regardless of the distances. 

And I failed. I failed the test.

Just when I thought I will never let go of this relationship, it started fading out, I was already letting go.
It was a beautiful and yet tiring journey, it was exhausting.
It was, as if I was all alone, as if I was the only one that takes care of everything.
Yes, I got tired & decided to move on.

Starting to look forward to what is ahead of me, to have my own goals instead of yours. 

I've never felt so independent, as if I was falling apart and trying to get up, maybe I was. 

It was a mutual decision, that maybe it will be better to let it go.

Through these times, I had ups and downs, but the best part was, I wasn't alone. 

Through these times, I met friends that brought me through, I met that one guy that I thought is interesting. 

And that was when I realized, I have moved on.

Now, we are friends, good friends. 

The 911 Blessings

Its the month of the year again, September :)

Just wanna thanks for all the blessings that have been pouring upon me. And no matter how tough times had been, God had put all those little pieces back in shape in many amazing ways.

Day #0
A totally unexpected surprise outside my doorstep just when the clock hits 12am. Many thanks to those who made it for the surprise & to the one who planned and made it happen :) ♥ 

Enjoy looking at my crying ugly face and my PJs. I was way to embarrass to even look into the camera :/ LOL.

Just after a surprise from the awesome creekers, another surprise came after.

NO they didn't fly here, they weren't here, but this was here, physically.

A day with the pups

It was just yesterday, an amazing day started off with church and korean food after, it was the best stew I've had by far. Oh wells, but that wasn't the main, the pups are the mains for today's update! :) Can't wait to show you guys some photos.

They aren't mine (sadly), but doing a favor to take care of them for 3 weeks while sister's friend is away. They named Adora & Bo, they are really adorable but hahaha two little monsters :) So here goes the hyperactive pups.

Welcome to the family Adora & Bo. (just for 3 weeks)

Just got home, and they were all excited, jumped around, non-stop kisses! Hyperactive kids. Got me lying on the floor and saliva all over my face.

This is Bo the brother.

This is Adora the sister :)

Bo, again :)

Boooooo.

Since they were all hyped up, I decided to bring them for a walk and that was my first time seeing dogs all excited to get tie up. Hmph.

A candid shot of Ben & Adora. Awesome photography skills? Heh heh heh. 

Alvena & Bo weeee. 

They met some new friends! Dogs talks *barks*

This obviously wasn't taken by me, please ignore my ugly face :/ but yeah, all of us got tired after the walk. Handling these two little monsters can never be easy.

More photos of them :)

Chaos! 

Alvena :) 

Sunny Saturday,

Watching horror movies in the cinema is never in my list or not that I remember I've done that, but THE CONJURING has became my first and my last watch for horrors in the theater. Its horrifying and I'll never gonna torture myself with all these craps ever, again :/ Its a nicely structured show I can't deny, it was a good watch. Oh wells, watching it with a bunch of friends can sometimes make it somehow better, funnier.

Good news for the day:

I just got an email from EY, can't be more excited than this, I'm glad that I'm under consideration as an intern and yes fingers crossed for what is yet to come! :) YAY thank you God.

Short update, time for life group! Chaos!
Alvena xoxo.

Internships

Its SO DEAD, its SO DEAD, this place is as dead as a doornail
Its been not awhile but ages since I updated anything on my page. Mannn to be honest, its too much to update, too little time. You guys will prolly see more updates on my instagram than my blog, photos can sometimes do better work than updating blog.

I'll prolly post some photos when I have time hehe :)
I'm caught with some issues these days, its been a hard time. Not to say its tough, but looking for a job here is just not as easy as I thought. I've been applying for internships here and back home (Malaysia yay?), fingers crossed for quick reply and for good news! Oh wells while waiting for better news, good news is, I've bought my tickets home yay. (only if you could read this, then yeah you deserve to know it loll)

I suddenly have this rush in my head, thinking about life, a thought that says 'I've grown up' or 'I need to grow up'. Just when I did my junior, just when I did my secondary, just when I did my college, just when I did my degree, just when I graduated, just when I started working, just when... time passes by as quick as flash.

Filling up the job application, checking vacancy for jobs and internships, it got into my nerve. I've always thought degree 300 level is sooooo tough, but just when I started applying for jobs, knowing that its not just excellent results, but many more, it hits me in the face. So, grow up grow up.


Okay, enough said. I'll try updating my blog again weeeeeee.

Short update:

It's been awhile since I last posted. Anyhow, its been an amazing journey beginning this year & its going to be amazing for the following months. Been very occupied with friends and work & trusting that I always have my big God up there watching over me, I'm looking forward to what is yet to come :)

Bambelela,
Alvena

Hi bloggers :)

Havent been updating this place for awhile, a short update now wouldn't harm heh (: I've been really blessed with people around me. I'm on a two months trip in Malaysia and yes I def missed Auckland. 3 weeks away from seeing the beautiful summer back in NZ.

Coming back to Malaysia for two months certainly brings me some weights, the food is amazing and those cravings started coming in since I footed on this fatherland. Also, how I've missed those familiar faces, family and friends. Time had been well spent, spending time with family and meeting up with great friends.

People had been telling me how the things and people change after not seeing them for some time, I agree. Some changed for the better, some changed for the worse, but nope, no judging. People also said people that study or work abroad change too, and that hits me. I want to change for the better, not for the worse. Through it all, God had been and always been the big boss up there to see through all those little steps little obstacles little efforts, those that I've been through. And through it all, He has been taking care of my family, especially my mom. Thank you, God! :)

I've been busy with conference, camps, christmas dinners, hangouts. Feeling so occupied, so blessed and so excited for what I had, have and will have. Going on a trip to portdickson with the churchies for 3 days, so excited for watchnight camp! And trip down to Malacca and Singapore straight after :) It's gonna be an adventurous week ahead! Also, penang trip with my college mates in early- Jan!

Lots of fun, lots of love! Chaos.

My story

Hi people,

Hope this song brings peace to you, and once again reminds us He is faithful, merciful and for us. 

This song inspires me, and to tell you my story and have hope even in the worst situation, because your worst day may be someone's best day. 

Everyone has this time when we feel restless, exhausted, depressed, tough and everything just did not go in favor to us. And we always ask, God why. One thing I could be sure of, He is always for us, through my toughest time, He was there for me. And we always ask, God how could this just happened to me. One thing I could be sure of, through my toughest time, He brought people into my life, to encourage me, strengthen me and always be reminded He is a never failing God, He is our hope and always will be. 

It has been a year and seven months since I had the toughest time of my life. It was one that I'd never ever thought that it could happen to my closest, my mom. It was beginning of last year, I had everything and the best things in my life, time when everything went well until mom started complaining about her back pain that she never had before. We did not take it seriously and thought it was just a normal back pain, went for therapist for couple of months and it didn't help. Therapist advised for a CT Scan and blood test. After several days, the results came out, my mom has a lung cancer, it was advanced stage and cancerous cells spread throughout the bones. I was helpless, I was broken down, my entire family was. And I questioned God, why does it need to be my mom, why not me. We were broken down and in depression. I was worried, I was scared, the fear of losing someone so close to your heart, fear of not having her accepting Jesus Christ as her Saviour yet. 

Thank God I had everyone around me, friends and churches, to encourage me, to pray for mom. It was the toughest time, but His strengths held me up high and told me to stay strong, to hope for miracles, to lift the entire situation into His hands, surrender. I had youth group one friday night, we were praying for my mom and that was when God gave me this thought and told me "Your mom will be healed and your parents will come to know Christ, soon"I was shocked and told my pastor about this. Through the toughest situation, He had given me hope. 

And I was told to share a testimony about never giving up and holding on to God. I wouldn't know the end result, but I know He always have the best for us, build us and strengthen us. After having God planted that thought in me, one morning when mom was lying on the bed, seeing the pain she was having, I asked: Mom, can I pray for you? She said: Yes. After the prayer, mom was touched and that was the beginning of everything, Mom started to know God more. Pastors and friends came and prayed for mom and told her about Jesus. Mom had vision about God telling her the passage from the bible even when she had not yet read the bible with a voice that is higher than everything else, a voice that couldn't be described by just words "Do not fear for I'm with you". Mom told us about the vision and immediately few days later my parents came to know Christ and accepted Him as Saviour and King. Not long after, Mom had another vision of God telling her, her lung is cleared. 

After a day or two, mom went for check ups and chemotherapy. Check up results came out, my mom's lung is totally cleared. Everyone was amazed and knowing that God just works in ways that we can't comprehend. We hugged we rejoice and burst into tears. 

Mom is still going through times of her life, going through follow ups and chemotherapies to remove the remaining cancerous cells from the bones and etc. She still needs prayers :)

Prayers are powerful, for every prayer we prayed, He heard us. One thing, He has the best plans for us and He works in ways that we cannot comprehend. 

Sometimes things just happened to discourage us, to pull us down to the very bottom of our lives, but don't give up, because He is for us, who can stand against us and what can stand against? He showed me He is the one true God, but by faith that we trust in Him. He works miraculously and powerfully. It is not a religion, it is a relationship and a connection with God. 

Hope this brings hope and reminds you once again, how amazing God is. For everything that happen, it happens for a reason. He is the reason we live. He brings us hope, love and life. 

Cheers,

:) 

Stress

Hi readers,

So, this is a very stressful post I'm writing hehe. Checking back my blog posts and realizing I've always posted and updated blogs during exam periods or even when I was on finals. Yeah, the more stressful I get from studies, the more frequent I go online, the more I update my blog. I'm not sure if this is good or  bad. Oh wells, I think it's bad since updating blog when I'm stressed I'd always talk about nyaaaah exam, ughhh finals stress and some others. So it wouldn't be nice to read hehe.

Ok a very random post, you don't have to read this. 

First world problem: A computer in the room is the worst nightmare I could ever get during exams.

Bet you're nodding your head. Mehhh I'm just bad with self-control and time management, MAYBE. Oh also, I just realized I didn't have my dinner.

Ciaos, back to study.

Thoughts

Hi,

I'm sure you readers have been waiting for my birthday gifts post! Oh well, I've not yet inspired or motivated to write a post like that yet! But I greatly wanted to post something more relevant to what I'm doing, what I'm encountering. Also, what I'm thinking of.

Sometimes emotion takes over part of us and we've always thought of the risks and uncertainties of having something or holding on to some sorts. Might think that this might be or might not be the best for us and most of us might not even know if we're doing the right thing making the right moves and choices.

For me, I know it's such blessing to know that God has always been a great God bringing people into my life. Also, how amazing God can bring someone to you and be part of your most precious memories. But sometimes, it is not always the case to live happily ever after with someone that you truly cared, someone you truly loved? Instead, it is about having God as the priority in your life and other things will eventually fall into the right place the right plans.

Let's just say, today.

I was struggling to wake up and was having a time in making decisions: should I go to the library or should I stay at home. Well decided to head to the library and motivated to study! Amazingly met a friend, Josephine and had really great time talking about making decisions in lives and talking about how God has always been guiding us as we walk through every little phase of life. Through this conversation, I see how God place every single person in my life, to start a conversation, to move on, to hint me, to tell me "I'm with you".

I feel certainly blessed with just two hours conversation and feel entirely pumped up and do something better and knowing how to make decision, it is to make Him our priorities and everything falls into plans.

And sometimes, "We just have to let go in order for God to bring us better plans"
Sometimes, we just have to be clear, the way of doing things, to be clear of who truly cares for you and proud of having you as part of their lives.

Found this quote: we were talking about this the whole two hours.

 Some people come into your life just to teach you how to let go. 

Sometimes even though we feel like we have great plans for our lives with the people that we have in them now, not knowing that God has much bigger plans for us which may not necessarily include the people that are in them now. In order for us to continue in life sometimes we must allow some of our plans including those that we are involved with fall, in order to learn how to become stronger individuals by learning how to be willing to let go.

Not everything in life including our relationships will be something that we will be able to hold on to forever, and this is something that we have to learn to be able to grow and build throughout our whole lifetime. Some people will come in your life, just to teach you how to let go, don't resist, it isn't always about giving up, sometimes it's about learning how to move on.

Just a few thoughts :) Will try updating my birthday post soon! 

Cheers,

Love. 

Sorry bloggers,

I apologise for feeling so reluctant to update whatever had happened in this past month! I've overloading works to complete and pretty much furnished my holidays with some really good companies.

Food indulgence

Days out with the family(sister and bro-in-law). These were all few days ago, happened to indulge myself with some really good food! :) And, I live happily ever after. Hahaha.

This was when everyone else went to the gym, my sister and I headed to Chocolate Boutique @ Parnell, indulge ourselves with hot chocolate yum! Gym is certainly not in my list, but anything with chocolate, I'm down! 

 Yum chocolate denso! It tasted like melted chocolate, sweet and milky.

 Hot chocolate, a normal one, a denso is overly sweet for me.

#2 After our chocolate indulgence, we headed to Mamak, this is amazing! One and only Malaysia mamak in Auckland. The food was amazing, its the closest I could get so far, they have the amazing spiderman teh tarik too ;p Nom nom.

 Mee goreng.

Tomyum fried rice with squid, prawns and etc. Might as well just call it seafood fried rice.

#3 Homemade Chili Panmee last Sunday! :)

 Step 1: Make the panmee roar.

 Step 2: Soaked the anchovy and dried chilis (not in the picture).

 Step 3: Blend the ingredients (Dried chills, onions, garlics, shrimps) and stir fried slowly with low fire.

 Step 4: Cooked the mince meat with soy sauce black sauce oyster sauce pepper salt. Hehe.

Step 5: Fry the anchovies.
Step 6: Make poached eggs and TADAAAA :)

 Soup with chicken and spanish.

Nom nom. It was delicious, and it took us a whole 2 hours to cook for the meal, and just few minutes to finish the dishes. Oh well, #cookinglife.

Loves,
Alvena.
