Is it wrong to do right?

My question is very simple:
Is it wrong to do right?

You know what you're doing is right. It can't be wrong.
Cuz it is in line with your conscience..unless of course you've totally shut out your own conscience or that little voice within which will eventually make every wrong seem right.
But in my case,even God's word has confirmed what im doing is right.
The Scriptures have confirmed it.
Various incidences has served to be a warning and confirmation.

But it seems like the whole world is caving in around me..
It has become so much of a normality that the wrong is beginning to seem right.
And the thing which saddens me most is..even the closest around me are hurting as a result of my decisions..

Is it wrong to do right?
Is it wrong to not conform to the pattern of this world and comply with God's will?

'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.'
~Romans 12:2

I guess it is true that obedience has a price to pay.
It doesn't come easy.
But until i see Him face to face, I will continue to run the race with eternity in mind.
Temporal pleasures shouldn't hinder me from walking in the way that is pleasing to the Lord.
Because when i stand before the throne of judgement, i want to be able to hear my Lord say :' Well done, good and faithful servant.'

That will be the ultimate joy and reward.

Happy Birthday Syn Wei =)

Michelle, Kuan, the Bday princess, Pei Gin and yours truly~

We celebrated Syn Wei's birthday at Pavilion today.
Miss Meticulous has finally turned 20. ;)
A very blessed birthday to you sweets~

T'was really great!
Being able to see my beloved friends' and this time, not in uniforms..It somehow brings about a very different feeling. haha.
I guess it's cuz we have been seeing each other in uniforms for the past one and a half year. XD
It's as if we have all grown up.

Michelle and Syn Wei ..and even Kuan Nien,was looking all fit for work. Very sophisticated indeed.
As a matter of fact, Kuan Nien came directly from the primary school where he is teaching now.=) hence, the formal neck ties and all. haha.
As for Pei Gin and I, we looked..well..nice, i suppose.haha. Love how the teal dress Pei Gin was wearing fits her so well. =)
And you know something? the dress was from my e-boutique,Dr.Pizzicato. muahaha. Feel real happy to see a satisfied customer wearing clothes from my virtual store! hee hee


While waiting for their arrival..i decided to go window shopping at Topshop. My all time favourite high-street label. Miss Selfridge and Dorothy Perkins too actually.;)
I was really spoiled for choices..there were so many quirky and vintagey dresses. And even the basic ones were to die for.
But oh well, i wasn't intending on doing some real shopping, so i only brought in one piece to try.=) *Normally i'd bring in the maximum of 5*

the minute i saw this dress, it was love at first sight.
I simply love the heart-shaped bustier and the empire cut of this dress.
Oh, and the lil' candy coloured hearts too!
They make the entire dress look so cheery! =D

Im soooo into colours these days.
Colours,colours..they totally brighten up an outfit. =)

*Notice those gladiator wedges? teehee.
Just got them this morning. ;P
They're a beauty*

Hmm!
Wud love to bring in a similar dress if i do see one like this from my supplier.
What do ya think? =))))
And it would three times cheaper. haha.

The fun in online shopping is that you get designer or high street inspired goodies for a fraction of the price. How awesome!

******

Oh, i'll be having my first offline bazaar this coming 25th. Yup, April this month.=)
It's called A Fair Weekend bazaar. Would be held in SoHo KL at Solaris, Mont Kiara. =)
And the organizers are expecting about 7000 over crowds too. Yea..its that big. =D
Am really excited bout it!
Probably will get to meet some of my customers face to face as well..hehe.. and for the experience too. =) that would be invaluable.

So if you're free on the 25th of April,which is in 2 weeks time, do come and support yea!
Gals, bring your galfrens along..and guys, bring your girlfriends.=) im sure they'll be delighted.hahaha.

There'll be something for everyone!
Live bands, battle of talents, fashion shows, incubation counselling and more. =)
Excited yet??
Keep your 25th free alritey!

Obedience brings Revelation~
=)

You've gotta know this.

Just wanna thank the Lord once again for His everlasting faithfulness.
Indeed, He is and always will be, the El Shaddai, the All Sufficient God. The One who is More than Enough for us.

I still remember that day when Josh told me how sad and depressed he was...he had had a very rough week indeed.
One, his car was saman-ed by DBKL.
Two, his car got clamped at McD.
Lastly, he lost his Final Year Project just when the due date was the following week!

Anyone could have been in despair if they were in his shoes.

We were supposed to go for CG that night when he told me about what happened. The lost of his FYP was the final blow.
Right after that, he totally lost the mood to do anything. Just wanted to sleep it off in hopes that this will all be just a bad dream.
But i knew that the best thing to do in such circumstances was to go for CG. Cuz when you take your focus off yourself, somehow it helps you feel slightly more relieved.It give you less time to dwell on the state of your own problems.

And as if to challenge our faith and perseverance,the rain started pouring so heavily that we got stucked in a jam while on the way to Ee Yan's place.
But i knew in my heart that God would honour our deeds~

Finally arrived there at almost half an hour later. oops!
We had discussions about Contemporary issues such as abortion, test tube babies,etc.
I was really enjoying the discussion.hehe. But i could also sense that he was so worn out and upset that he wasn't even paying attention to the discussions.

Fast forward to 2 hours later,
he sent me home. But right before i got down, as promised, i said i would wanna pray with him about the whole matter.
Cuz the Bible says, 'Where two or three are gathered in My name, there I will be in their midst.'

So i prayed that God would increase our faith and that the project would be found the next day, which was Saturday.
By the way, Josh's project was due on Monday!
We only had 2 days to find it. And he hasn't even completed the project. Talk about anxiety.

We all know in human abilities this would have been impossible. But His Word says, ''What is impossible with man is possible with God''.
Luke 18:27
We just have to believe it!
Remember, God said, even if you have faith of a mustard seed, you WILL be able to move mountains. As in, physical mountains like Mount Everest okay.
And mustard seeds are really the tiniest seeds ever. They are as small as a fullstop.
Yes, like this,
.
.
.
See how tiny they are? (yes, i've seen those seeds.)

And God didn't say 'You might' or 'You probably can', but He said, You WILL.
And when God says something, He never, i repeat, never goes back on His words.
His words will not return to Him void.

*******

And so after praying, we could only trust God for the best. And just totally and wholly believe we would be able to find it. For without Faith, it is impossible to please God.

And guess what?
The next morning, Josh texted me to say that his friend, Tham had found his project back in college!
Miracle miracle!

I was working at Starbucks that time, and was reading a book cuz i was so free.. But when i read that sms, i was so elated that tears began to flow.
I must have been deemed a lil crazy but i didn't care. Cuz once again, God has proved His faithfulness.
I just couldn't help praising Him there and then! ( i dunno where my manager went that time..but surprisingly, as if in God's perfect timing, he wasn't anywhere near me.)
Cuz if he saw me with tears in my eyes, that might have worried him.haha.

Just wanna praise God wholeheartedly.
The Lord reemphasizes to me that He is indeed a prayer answering God.
He always is. Eventhough He might seem to be distant at times, but He is attentive to even the slightest whispers.

*****

On a separate note,
just wanna praise God for healing my migraine today! yay!
I only vomited once.
Normally it would linger for the whole day...with vomits in between. And my head would fell like it was going to burst out of the excruciating pain. But thank the Lord, after praying and acting on His scriptures about healing, i was healed even during work itself.
But i still came back early to rest. =)

God bless ya'all!
Taste and discover for yourself that the Lord is GOOD.
God is not a respecter of persons.
So if He can do it for Josh and me,
He can too, for YOU. =)

Unexpected Blessings

God has been really good to me. It's really more than i could ever ask for.

If you've read my previous post about losing my barely-a-year-old Sony Ericsson phone, you would probably know how devastated i was. And the fact that i didn't know how i lost it makes it even more bizarre. Not to mention it's the second phone i lost. =/
But sob stories aside, i just wanna express my joy and thankfulness towards the Lord for giving me a brand new phone just last Friday. =)

I still remember i said this prayer ''Lord, you know how i feel about the lost of my phone..only you know the pain..cuz it's the 2nd time already. And i don't expect mum or dad to get me one.(cuz i know it's time i became responsible for my own actions, whether or not i am in fault)
Right now i just wanna ask that you'll bless me with a brand new phone,Lord. Send a Good Samaritan to bless me Lord i pray. Cuz i really can't afford to come out with another 600bucks or more.. It's just too much for me to bear after the lost of my first phone barely a year ago...very em se tak..''

Yup, i prayed something like that.
And i knew God heard me loud and clear.

Cuz a few days after that..or like..almost a week.. Josh presented me with a K660i Sony Ericsson. It was like rekindling my lost baby.. Cuz he got me the exact same one.
He knew i didn't like any other except K660i..and it was also the most affordable SE phone among others.
It's sleek,and slim.
Has multiple functions and most importantly, has good quality images! nyehehehe

I kinda knew he was getting me a phone already..and i insisted that i got it myself..since im working and earning thru my e-biz right?
It just didn't feel right to obtain something so pricey from someone else.
I think you guys get what i mean right?
Not something that costs more than half a K......

But all he did was hushed me and told me to just say 'thank you' and accept the gift with an open heart. Haha. Like i have a choice not to keep quiet after that....=P
Trust me, i said 'No' too many times until i think he got fed up? (were you bay?^^)

But all i can say is, i'm really happy and content with my phone. I know it might be a lil' weird to want the same phone when you can explore others..but i guess it's just me.=)
I simply love it~

I just wanna really thank the Lord for answering my prayer.
It's a blessing, and an unexpected one.
I was expecting a phone, but not from the person who gave it to me. =D

But God always works in mysterious ways. His ways are indeed higher than our ways. Praise Him for that. If everything worked according to our plans, then it might not have turned out as well. God knows BEST.

Thank you Jesus.
Thank you Josh dear. =)
I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!

Prom Goes Green 2009

*****

On a separate note, here are the updates on my colourful life! haha

- Went to 3K inn bazaar at Subang Jaya with Laura Tang! =D
We make an unlikely pair but we do share a lot in common. Especially our penchant for fashion and shopping! haha
And i must say it was my privilege to go out with her on her birthday! (on the 20th last Saturday)
Happy Belated Birthday dearest Laura~

I didn't know it was her birthday till she told me in the car.

And right here, i wanna take the Lord again for having his favour to surround us like a shield! (Psalm 4:12)
Cuz we got stopped by a traffic police who hinted twice that he wanted a bribe from us in order to let us go...But to cut the long story short, everything worked in our favour (including the fact that it was Laura's bday that day!) and we were released without an RM 300 saman nor with bribing. (Which would have been an easy way out but we know bribing is wrong.)
In most cases, this would have been near impossible, but by God's grace, the officer really let us go!
What a miracle!
I knew i had to testify about this.=D

It just reminds that when we're faithful to the Lord, His hands will always be upon us~

- Went for KBU's Prom 2009. Josh's final prom as he is graduating this May/June. =)
Really had tons of fun fellowshipping especially. Although i knew no one there except his friends.haha.
Prom goes GREEN this year, in support of mother earth. =)
Surprisingly no one wore green dresses.

I wore a bright purple mermaid-pleated dress from my e-boutique,
Dr.Pizzicato =) *click click*

Love it to bits!
Somehow..these days.. im really into bright candy colours such as emerald, hot pink, turquoise, lime, chilli red, and of course oh-so-glam purple!
But classic B&W never fails. =) not to mention white has always been my fav.hehe. Makes one look so ethereal and innocent.=)

Love the pleated designs.
And the best part, it doesn't cost a bomb like Valentino gowns. *wink*

Lost my phone. =(

Lost my phone yesterday at Tesco Cheras... =(
And it's the 2nd time losing my phone. *sighs* The first one was pick-pocketed in monorail..

A phone which i've used for barely a year is now in the hands of i-dunno-who....
The thing that baffles me the most is i don't even know how i lost it.
As bizarre as that sounds, i only realized it was gone when i searched for it minutes later and couldn't find it.
I was with Josh at that time so he called my number, and a man picked up. That was when i knew it was.........

But reality couldn't sink in until much later.. Cuz i just couldn't accept the fact that my phone was lost! And a brand new one too.
This time i really couldn't help crying cuz it was my second time for goodness sake.
I'm seriously worked up about it.
It wasn't that bad the previous time...But if you lose for phone for the 2nd time, you'll know how terrible that feels. What more one that is used for less than a year. =/

When i finally calmed down, i could only say i wish the man (who most probably have picked it up from the pavement) that he'll be blessed.
As naive as this might sound, i actually smsed him to beg for the phone. Twice. I even said i'll give him RM 200 in exchange. You never try you never know what the outcome might be right?
But all he did was slammed and shut my phone. Typical.

How i wish people in society can be more honest.
If i were to pick up a phone and receive numerous calls and smses from the rightful owner, even if i'm sooo tempted to keep the pretty phone, i'll still relent in the end.
Afterall, its NOT my phone right.
I'll put myself in the person's shoes and think how overwhelmed he/she might be. That knowledge itself is enough to drive me to return the phone.
Or if that's not enough, my conscience will make me feel really guilty.

But i guess in society today, there are more baddies than goodies. Even the Bible says we're ''living in the days where evil prevails''.
It only tells me (and you) that we should really be vigilent wherever we go.

Until i've redeemed my previous number, i'll be using my digi number for now...
And i seriously dunno what phone to get next....it's like i've exhausted all my ideas for a good phone.....(my first was a Sony Ericsson K 610i, then a K660i..sob)

Maybe a Blackberry? =P
Or,
probably not.
If that gets stolen, i'll probably never buy phones ever again.
