Going to Calgary in less than 12 hours :) Happy and excited.
Had my interview with DM for shift supervisor at Starbucks, and it went well! Amen :) Training starts next week....I wonder if that's the right decision or not. Praying :)
Ah, I'm gonna miss everyone....friends heading off to camps, out of town and on missions trips. But may God bless all of them and let them grow in Him throughout those times.
Bleh, need to work out and start parking......

What a day...
It's been 12 hours of chaos, and I am finally home. It feels great to be home....just to sit down and relax, and rest my soul :)
I couldn't really sleep last night.... 1) it was too hot, 2) napped for 4 hours during the day....OH WELL. But I woke up this morning....to go with my parents to run errands for the new car we're getting. Our parents bought a used 2003 Mazda 6....for a relatively good price. Except...it was yellow. YELLOW. It looks like a mango...which means, my parents will be driving a mango down the street....
This morning was rather stressful....had to deal with the owner of the car speeding like there was no tomorrow on the road....my dad's awesome English and Mandarin skills....and attitude from the AMA service rep. It was amazing that I lasted that 3 hours of chaos and non-sense....but right after I exploded at the AMA service rep....God pretty much pulled my mind and told me to calm my butt....and I reflected upon how I would have lived that 3 hours instead, and what would have happened if I actually thought about what Jesus would do before taking action. It was stressful, frustrating...and I ripped a piece of white hair out by accident -.- oh noes...
Work was rather interesting. After 2.5 hours of work with my 15 min break, we experienced a power outage for a period of over 1.5 hours. It was fun, I got to text and sit and just laugh :) DB came in to visit, it was fun. Hahah. We did some cleaning and were about to leave...then by 6:30pm...the lights went back on again. DARN! So closeeeeeee... Haha. But oh well.
Hm, what else....I need to go work out... I feel it's somewhat necessary.....maybe I'll go tomorrow after work.
My goal this summer is to buy a guitar before summer is over and make myself learn and polish my skills...so I can play more besides the simple GDCAE chords. :) Also, I've been kinda starting to touch up my piano skills too. I love playing worship songs, it's so calming and peaceful, it's my way of worshiping and spending time with God too. Yay!
Until then... I'll blog more later. :)

All The Good and Bad I Give To You
"All The Good and Bad I Give To You" is so easy to say, but so hard to do. But I would like to remember this, knowing that I can lift up anything and everything to Jesus, good AND bad.
I didn't have a good day today. To be honest, I had multiple feelings today. Happy, sad, mad, frustrated, angry, anxious....pissed off... disappointed... upset.... all because stupid things happened. The world doesn't revolve around just one person, very unfortunately, you don't always get what you want, and just because of one person...it doesn't mean everyone have to do something about it. I have feelings too....did anyone think about how I felt when things like that happen? Things were already planned... but all had to change because of what happened.
I prayed for peace... but I didn't feel any better. I prayed for comfort...DK part 2 helped pray for me too =) She warmed my cold, bitter heart, although I didn't get to talk to her or see her in person. I was touched by the love that God was showing me through people who cared at work... through Him clearing up the skies and letting me watch the sun set...
I pray for peace... I pray for love and forgiveness. Lord, will you shower them down like rain?

Questions stirring up...
I have a really bad habit of sleeping on the couch at night...especially when I have to wake up early the next morning. This morning, I woke up to a conversation between my brother and mom about my brother's bible study at fellowship last night. My brother shared about what he learned at fellowship: "the difference between a person growing up in Christian family and a person going to church sometime at his/her life". Which reminded me of something we talked about at bible study yesterday during small group: "What's the difference between being a Christian and following Jesus?"....there are so many questions to think about and to wonder about!

Up!
I loved the new Pixar movie "Up". IT was so good.
I went to watch it with Danielle today :D It was indeed some quality DK time. Who would have thought that we can be such good friends. Lol. It's true. Many people know that over 80% of my FB friends are ASIAN, and that the rest are all non-Asians but they're either from school or work. Well, I would have to say, outside of IVCF and fellowship, it is just rare to meet a Christian outside of any "church" scenarios. Yea, I would consider her as one of my close non-Asian friends. Hahaha. Weird to say, but I enjoy my time and feel so comfortable with her. We've known each other for a year now, we work at Starbucks together (well, not for long because her last week is this week). I still remember how we weren't very friendly to each other back then either. I thought she was scary because of an incident that happened back in October and we didn't end off in a very friendly term...It wasn't until after I quit and came back that we started "talking" more, and the past few months...just enjoying ourselves with each other! Too bad she'll be gone to Camp Nakamun this summer to work there and then moving to BC for her nursing degree. I think I will miss her. Hahaha...but I bet we'll still keep in touch, through our blogging fun :D
Anyways, my other highlight of the night would probably have been spending time with my fellow ASK friends at Tai Pan. After small group, the 8 of us decided to just go eat some mid-night snack. Haha, we had our embarrassing moments ordering and sorting things out, even the waiter laughed at us. And...we scared people away. Haha, and we didn't leave til 12:25am. But man, was it fun time. I miss just hanging out and being with these friends!
In summary, today was a very good day. Good day to blog about happy things, and reminding myself to write down things that are meaningful to me :)
Oh yea, Elaine and Min are in town ^^ I missed them soooo much!

Romans 12:2
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
