You spread out the skies over empty space, said "Let There Be Light"
Into a dark and formless world, Your light was born
You spread out Your arms over empty hearts, said "Let There Be Light"
Into a dark and hopeless world Your Son was born

Today I choose to escape from this reality for a moment, into the world of music, gospel songs.
And countless times, I look upon the sky, I couldn't stop smiling, and express how great, how beautiful, how mighty, how glorious He is. I was utterly speechless, He's just indescribable, more awesome that you can imagine, and I really meant it.

When I'm frantic, He told me He has not given me the spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. When I'm alone, He told me He'll never leave me nor forsake me. When I give up, He told me He has plans for me, plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me a hope and future. When I'm weak, He told me He is my fortress, my rock and I can lean on Him. He takes my old, withered life, and transforms it. I'm dead and lifeless, yet God arrives, and changes everything. He gave me a new life, surprising, beautiful life.

It's so difficult to love Him more than anything. But I'll make sure I'll use every talent He has installed for me, I'll use it to serve Him, I'll use it for His glory. And when He calls me, I won't refuse or delay, I want to follow Isaiah, to step forward and said  "Here am I, send me."

I never pretty much explored or lived life as a real girl. The maximum length of hair I kept was barely around my shoulders. I cut it every single time because I was annoyed, it never been similar to a shampoo advertising model. Or perhaps I didn't know how to take care of it, never knew how to tight even the simplest pattern of plaits. Too lazy to wake up early in the morning to comb it. My nails are virgin, couldn't figure out how to paint it. It never was that striking pink, or crimson red, calm blue nahhh. I never had one, my toenails are always well protected under my canvas or covered flats. It got no reason to be shown, not like anyone would pay attention to. Latest fashions or trends? I'm a loser. Outdated and unattractive. Never knew how to mix and match, putting different pieces of clothes together into an elegant outfit. Never wore high heels because I'm afraid of losing my balance, shy of all the sound it made walking on hard grounds. That ...

So, it's been 8 months of disappearance. To be honest, there is no solid reasons why I had been away. All I can say is I had been busy. Yes, busy busy busy. And sometimes, I couldn't figure out what I'm actually doing all the time, what steals my precious time away? With a blink of an eye, an hour just passed and all that I could remember is I had been doing nothing. But I do sensed that I'd been carried away and spending more that necessary time on the social networks and aah, editing photos. Urgh, the whole point is, I stopped blogging. After a few times of pushing me to write more, my friends just stopped doing so, it all dies down. Perhaps they didn't want to annoy me, or there are more articles out there which is more worth reading and maybe, they just gave up waiting for me. With the silence, I forgotten there is still one person, who is still so persistent, very determined on having me on the writings again. He is the main ...

The memory of my first experience in the Orang Asli Mission still shines vividly in my mind. It was a few days before Christmas, in 2009, the year before last year. The journey was exhilarating as everyone was in high spirits. I  remembered we was going crazy with Jason Mraz's hitz, getting amused by a passing rainbow and recording a video of us singing in the car.  Stepping down as we reached our destination, I knew I was in a different corner of this universe, to a land more impoverished than mine. I stunned when a few OA children waved and spoke to me, I couldn't able to respond properly as I hastily surfed through my brain for a BM translation to my English words. Soon, they all ran away probably thinking I'm unfriendly, disappointment swelled within me. I could not gave much help due to the same problem. But yet, a great motivation struck me - the best serving is showing love, and that's where I ...
