with mom celebrating her Golden age of 50th, half the century of life
We had had a great and fun time dining at RasaSayang Spa and Resort where the lovely staffs from the Spice Market brought out the specially picked cake and sang birthday song together with us.
April's been recognise as the month for world autism awareness.
So the doc from clinic send a text to me wanting me to give a 20mins lecture on "Does diets matter in Autism".
Uh huh!! Lou got herself into another huge challenge/phobia of her lifetime...
Public speaking...this time as a specialist,a nutritionist.Furthermore, followed by a question and answer sessions between the crowds and the team.
Working with these experienced specialises whom accepted & invited me to join in this team,really taught me to humble myself among them.
Me as to comparison to them was pfffff...not even in a level of 1 regarding to experiences, status and more..
The whole event went well with great responses from crowds, more than what's been expected,where room was immersed with audiences.
My sincere gratitude and gratefulness to all family and friends who supported and encouraged me. Amazingly, auntie Julia was praying for me (w/o knowing when I'msupposing lecturing) during the exact time which I was presenting;without knowing it.
Life's been delighting ever since graduated from Otago. Many alumnus friends once told me that time span in university was more funner and cruising,yet, I find it the other way round. So, not everyone is the same *wink
Nevertheless, been & still cannot stop give thanks and praising to our gracious Heavenly Father for guidance in every single step of mine from graduating from Otago to jobs. HIS astonishing leading was indescribable.
Two roles been offered to me even before I graduated, as a full time supervisor in an American based homeschooling ; a part time child nutritionist in a clinic,with a team of specialist. The 1st job's pay was way beyond my expectation which my mentors had to 'force' me to sign the contract in a good way since I told them that am not worthy for such a good pay, not to say I am still a fresh graduate; same saying for the clinic, in consequence working with a team of experienced,well trained professionals and the doctor (boss) was so kind enough to offer me this opportunity and take me in to work with his team.
Concurrently, I have been invited to give a 20 minutes lecture on "Nutritional Therapy for Autism Children" as a celebration for Worlds Autism Children Day on April 25th in front of Penang expo (the parliaments). YES, my heart's thumping like the roaring thunder even for just typing about this.... You peeps who's known me well knew this is not the typical me who will speak in front of the public.
And it is NOT weird at all for someone who enjoy his/her work.
It is true that I've always look forward to go to work every morning. Days at work surely fill with new,interesting and exciting adventures by the kids. Mind you, kids mentioned here are ranging from as young as aged 6 to young adults. It's not just about a supervising job but subduing time to bond with them, thus more than that.And yes, the outcome just drifted away all those efforts and hard work harvested where some eventually approached and trusted me for a one to one heart talk; guidance and advices.Although there were chaotic and turbulent days as well but looking everything in whole always put a smile on me. I still feel blessed for being able to work under the guidance of the two principals, also my mentors which had had enforce and rebuilt my character and maturity.
Enough of all works stuffs...
Here are some latter errands around penang, the only free weekends I have with family.
So what's new in chemical romance in this advancing world of today?
Merely, today's relationships were drenched with short termed, attracted by physical appearances where the fittest survived as well as the thirst for 'being in loved' .
This process has always been recycled over and over again.
Men are always practical by showing their affections or interests directly.Sometimes, through their gestures,body language and eyes contacts.
'That look', which he has says it all. He tends to give you a look even though he is across the room. Regardless if it is just a sweeping,from your head to your toes but tend to cut off eye contact if you're looking towards him;If a man is really serious about a female, he will look for a chance to gaze at her even when she is not looking.
Either at work or out, when a guy gives compliments in any respects of appearance,anything like, "You look nice today," "I like that shirt," or even "Did you do your hair differently today? It looks nice," are all indicators that he could be interested in you. Most guys won't notice, and if they do, they won't say anything unless they're into you. Topping it up,if you are well a happy and fun-loving person, there is no reason why he won't like you.
Ladies,know this... Men can meet a women they have no attraction to, get to know her, fall in love, and be totally into her. But the process works opposite for women, we tend to be illogical sometimes.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing about trying to figure out male attraction is wondering if he is romantically interested, or just regards the woman as a good friend or even worst, not interested. Usually it is either one thing or the other, and a sure sign that the relationship is only platonic from his point of view is if he discusses his interest in specific other women.
For example, you tried several texts and calls but He doesn't replied. He did not loose your number and he isn't too busy. Even the busiest person will make time for someone they care about. Men are not stupid, so on the off chance he did loose your number, he would find a way to get a hold of you if he wanted. When a person is interested in you, he/she would try to know loads about your likes and dislikes. He would ask you questions about your hobbies and family. Well, it is also true that certain men take time to open up. From this state of point, you just have to be the judge whether decide if he's just the one who worth your amount of time and how long are you prepared to wait to know if he is really interested in you or categorized in 'Hi-Bye Friend' list.
The foundation is the essential key for healthy relationships (mind you, this includes friends,family and romance), it takes time and efforts to built; Thus, allowing to enjoy the true and sincere intimacy with the ones you loved.There is no wrong answer being single and you do not get lonely just because you're not dating anyone. You would have missing out many others opportunities knowing a person once dated.
So, that's 1 of the reason Lou doesn't date at the moment(for friends who are curious if I would date anytime soon) but confess likes men! They're masculine, competitive, adrenaline pumping, power and domination and hot being.It whips my mind when it comes to men with good courtesy and a heart for everyone/thing around him; surely of course, tough appearances with mighty heart will make Lou blazing!!Wait... they also come in different sizes,shapes,colors,backgrounds and races.
Hence, I will consider dating once I meet a worthy guy and if I am meant to be with someone, he won't need any of those horsefeathers 'hard to get' girls games .
Slightly because of tiredness, i would love to stop writing now...
To all who I call a friend, you are cherished with my adoration and assurance and Louise will be available when you need her.
It was a wholesome saturday which I began my morning with Visiting handicapped orphanage around Bukit Mertajam.
It was not a grandest or luxuries place compare to any others centre around pg/bm area but we were greeted with the most warmest and naive smiles and joy from the children.
Many were blind with some abused or even being taken advantages due to their mental disorders; the parents abandoned them in front of the centre while they were still newborns.
Yet, being able to accompany and feed them seemed to overshadow all the pasts.
Aunt even danced with one of them and cheered with them.
Aunt bought a new barbecue stand so there were 4 of us ended up fixing and putting it together for an hour long; took almost 2 hours to put on the fire....
Beatrice's visiting as well as babysitting during Chinese New Year 2010. A very charming yet full of interesting personalities child.
So we had scheduled and planned together for a full day trip around the small wonderful yet hot island of Penang with several stops by at home, playing dolls as well as sandy pictures etc.
Wishing every love ones a joyous, blessed and prosperous Chinese New Year!! Been a busy, 1st day of Chinese New Year (CNY) which falls on Sunday as well as clashing with February 14th. Family gatherings at aunt's house, with traditional lion dance performed by my cous. It's really funny when sis meet up with her childhood 'brother' who keeps on fluttering over her since they have not meet for a long while.
A short clip with the lions as well as sis's childhood 'brother' who suddenly showed a peace sign from the lion's back
My days working are filled with beaming smiles and joy,
where cheekiness and some funny kids always make me laugh out hard, in heart
(mind you, have to keep my serious outer appearance as a supervisor).
All kids are special and unique,
interesting in catching up with them everyday.
On the other hand, decor assignment for CNY in church's almost complete.
Many thanks to Lim and his team from Floralscence for willingness to put up all decorations in a rush and short notices. Friendly and funny staff as well!! Well done!
Everyone seems to get used of every seconds they possibly can.
Been invited to attend family/childhood friend's wedding which really opened wide my view, it was indeed an unique reception with all relatives flying over four corners of the globe to attend this special wedding of Ying Ying and Chris. Families and friends from the States,Turkeys, Hong Kong, Medan,India and of course,Chris's parents and relatives from Poland. Such a beautiful and heartwarming ceremony when the young couples exchanged their vows in front of all close families and friends. Regrettably, had to leave the reception early due to traffic reason for the year end service in church.
Both sisters agreed to accompany mom on this very special night,
although we did spent out 'a bit' for this occasion.
The New 2010 Year was indeed a special one,
where my most closet and loyal Junny's no longer with me anymore,
a new career journey ahead, fascinate with challenges and excitement.
Everyone who approached me been asking me how do I feel,
In good faith and most fully,
I knew that my being adventure will be a beatific and endowed one,
For HE who had promised & I entrusted my all in Him.
