和妈妈聊天





和妈妈聊天,难得有时间,爸妈每次都各自打给我,结果之前说的话又要重新叙说。
但与爸爸不同的是,妈妈却是看重我的灵命以及我的健康。感恩她并不像从前一样,
不断地唠叨我要看重自己的健康,要多喝水,要多吃水果等等。。。但偶尔的
叮咛还是倍感温馨的。由于她那里是星期日早上,她要准备去讲道了,所以我们也
就没继续聊下去了。短短的聊天时光,并不是偶然的,也不应该是理所当然的。

好好道别

趁着主日与一些好朋友道别,也和在少年事工的孩子们道别,
以往的我习惯悄悄离开,不留痕迹,不流泪,
但随着越多的经历与体会,却发现每一次都得好好道别,因为若不是神的允许,我们不一定会再见面。

离开,是为了装备,奔走天路

不一样的夜

一推开速食店的玻璃门,一个男人快速地走出了我和友人正打算进入的速食店。
这是一间很小巧的速食店,美式风格的装饰,主推任何薯类的餐点。
“就这样了,还要我怎么营业?!我只是一个服务员,连煮饭都不熟悉,怎么要我一个人独挑大梁?真是欠揍......!” 大声的叫骂把我从打量店面的注意力给拉回来,
正在叫骂的是站在厨房门口的,是身穿黑衣,个子不高,有点肉肉的女生,速食店里还坐着几个年轻女生客人,我和友人对看了一眼。
“要离开吗?”我内心不禁泛起了这念头,但却也把这念头给吞下了。我和友人找了个靠窗的高脚座位坐下,尝试弄清楚眼前的状况。
从那服务员的对话中,好像他们的厨师因为在不是工作天被拉回来工作,然后因为某些沟通上的误会因为愤怒离开。
留下的,是这个不太会下厨的服务员,一个人不晓得要干嘛。
她整理好心情,走过来问我们要喝些什么饮料,也不避忌地跟我们说刚才发生的事,一起她的愤怒。
她说她不会煮饭,但是简单的还是可以弄,我点了最简单的薯条,她露出了一丝的微笑,向我道谢。
她走进了厨房,此时速食店里只剩下我俩是客人,我们也就当自己家,走到厨房的门口,和她开起了玩笑,
也顺便看看她怎么准备我们的食物,她的心情轻松了起来,和我们聊了起来。
食物并没有想象中的难吃,她也敞开心来和我们聊天,提及她是个单亲妈妈,每天打两份工,为的只是让她的孩子过得更好,
以往的她十分堕落,若不是孩子,她不可能会改变。
按着自己讶异“她竟然如此信任我们”的情绪,静静地听她诉说她的故事,一路走来,十分不易。
我们没能做些什么,或许也帮不上什么忙,但简单地选择去爱及聆听,使得这原本紧绷的夜晚顿时变得轻松愉快却又满满的激动。
我不知道下一次自己再次遇到这状况会怎么面对,但面对今晚,实在感恩,也给自己上了一堂课。

信仰,是要活出来的

Congratulations!!!!


Congratulations!!!!!!
"Your education is a dress rehearsal for a life that is yours to lead." -Nora Ephron

Attending graduation with my roommates! Met some of the alumni and also some seniors, super pump for all those who are graduating!!!
Friends that helped me and encouraged me throughout this two years are precious, with them, my college life was filled with love and joy.
Future may seem scary and crazy, so close yet so far, but they are one step closer to the future, 
and I wish that they all have a great future and shine brightly out there! 
There are some other friends who are graduating, but I wasn't able to find them after the ceremony was done.

Meeting up with Catherine Norris

Felt bad for not spending time with a lady that I respected a lot, who cared about me, prepared me a birthday gift, and more.....
Since I've done with my finals, plus she wasn't feeling well a few days ago, I decided to go and pay a visit before I leave for this summer.
This was my first-time walk over to her house, spent more than an hour talk to her, updated my life,  shared my summer plans with her,
explained Malaysia recent political issues and election to her, simple time with her but meaningful to me, she is just adorable and fun to hang out with!
Can't wait to meet her again when I return, more stories to share with her!

What about you? Is there anyone that's not your age yet you are willing to spend time with?
Isn't that a precious moment?

Video Call with daddy~~~

 
难得和爸爸视讯,前一阵子因为忙期末考而没有太多的时间联系,趁着悠闲,就花时间和他聊聊。
我和爸爸真的无所不聊,这当然也包括了感情事,他很喜欢沉默地听,却又三八地要我多说一些。
哈哈哈,当我跟他提及很多身边的朋友都很好奇及讶异我为什么会跟爸爸无话不谈,他笑了笑,
或许他也不知道我俩为何什么都能聊吧~
他犹如我无所不谈的好友,也像是我的属灵导师,却也是和蔼可亲关爱的爸爸。
很难得与爸爸有这样的紧密相连的关系,真的再多的钱也不能换掉我们俩的关系。

真的好爱爸爸~~~

Kat Kat Katrina




很久没见到我的高中同学 Katrina,她在毕业后就到了加拿大读大学,我们虽然鲜少联络,
但却也保持联络。。。不时会打电话聊近况,她发现最后一次联络竟是在一年前,而且
还是我留言后,她没回复,有点过意不去而视讯过来。就这样,我们一聊,就停不下来了
,叙叙旧,怀念着从前。

她是我以前高中时的好朋友,她样子内向乖乖安静的,是老师们公认的乖学生,但她骨
子里却是带有一丝的不安分以及坏坏的,哈哈哈。没想到现在的她有自己的朋友圈,还
有了一个男朋友!哇塞!!!做梦都没想过,她竟然也谈起了恋爱,真为她感到开心!

答应了要再见面,虽然还不晓得什么时候或是在哪里,但是希望不会太久之后,小小期
待一下吧!

Meeting up with Ms. Karen.




之前一直有人向我提到 Ms. Karen, 说要我去见见她,说我们必定会志同道合,
一拍即合。但由于每一次我俩的时间都不合拍,因此差不多一年后才第一次见面,
但却也都没有机会深聊。趁着暑假的来临,加上我自己也在离开前有些空档的时
间。约了她见面聊天。

很有爱心和使命的一个导师,看见她为神与事工所付出的心血与时间,真的很难
得。她向我提到她目前在校园里的服侍,以及神如何赐福她现在住的地方,她找
到离学校很靠近的地方,让她更容易服侍大学生,真的能够用于大学事工。不但
如此,她也提及接下来的愿景,尤其是提到想开一间咖啡厅,真的令我心痒痒的
。希望有机会一起合作。

之后她的侄女也来了,我们聊了一会,她也是宣教士,在海地服侍当地的人,她说
她六月会到芝加哥一趟,所以我们有很大的机会会见面,希望有更进一步的认识与
生命的交流。

实在感恩,能在这里有机会认识她们,知道服侍的这条道路并不是孤独的。

谈谈心

终于有时间和几个教会的好朋友一起去吃晚餐,彼此update 自己的生活与感情事。
有彼此的鼓励与代祷,开心我们都成长了不少!
她们第一次去house of nom nom,享受了美食与饮料!
能够一起谈谈心的机会并不多,实在珍惜,因为接下来三个月都不能见面了。

Farmers Market + Las Isabelas

今早我和 Jill 约好了一起去Farmers' Market 逛逛,之后去吃午餐
在市集里遇到我在教会里服侍的孩子,对,她还是个孩子,叫Anna,应该才 13-15岁吧,但也都跟我差不多一样高。
呵~
算了,我早已经对我的身高放弃了任何的期望。
我们之后去吃墨西哥餐,DJ 也和我们一起,一个是我大学同学,一个是我教会朋友,
虽然在这之前,两人都没有任何的关联,但却无端端被我拉在一起聊天,一起享用美食。
哈哈哈!
感恩!

I think I'm crazy, found out that I still left $60+ in my student ID that I need to use before the end of this semester.
But I only left two days to finish them, lols!!!
So, with Hannah's help, I ordered three boxes of Chicken wings, one box of boneless Chicken, and a small box of pizza.
OMG~~~~ this is crazy!!! So much food!!!

Chilling in a small town

My friend Jill has to go for body massage in a town next to ours since I finished my finals, so I decided to went with her,
also, I'm taking my book and journal with me so I won't feel boring.
As we were walking around the small town, found out this interesting hidden spot, 
it's called "doughnuts", they sell mini doughnuts! So cute!!
We bought a small box and stop at a coffee cafe which is at the corner, I ordered a cafe latte
while Jill left for body massage, I read my book and journaling.... 
A simple afternoon that makes my day!!!

Finally!!!

So pump and happy after I finished all my finals today!!!
Went to House of Nom Nom with Erin for some bubble tea, because she is leaving tomorrow!
After we went back on campus, went to our campus' Starbucks, found out Erin accidentally ordered two iced macchiatos, and she gave me one! 
Lols! I just finished one bubble tea!!!
Anyway, still worth celebrating, because we finally have done with our stressful finals!!!
Wohooo!!!!!

Ceramic/ Pottery art pieces!

Thankful for such a great time in the art building, this noontime I had my makeup test for Statistic Math class 
(because I missed my test two days ago, after this test, finally feeling release!)
I was stress about this test because of statistic is not what I like as a subject,  and I knew I was bad in this!
but this is the only Math class I need to take, so, I'm finally done with Math class!!!
In the afternoon, is my Ceramic class' final!!!
Can't believe we had been working here for a semester! 
Created some interesting art pieces, and also memories with friends!
Thanks to my Professor, James Clay! 
Sad that he is leaving, hope that he can come back and visit us often!
