  • 樂園 (Alma 40:12)

    I smiled.

    I was just walking around and thinking about the past 12 months, what a rewarding year. I very much am grateful of the things I saw, the ones I met, the roads I walked on. I thank Heavenly Father for many wonderful gifts.

    So I am here, quite settled. That's when I began viewing many dear friends' updates on xanga. I am not anymore Sister Lai, well at least no one calls me like that now. And yet, the special arrangement that's been made for me, I may one day again be a sister missionary again and I can't wait when this day comes again.

    The down side of what I was thinking: I am home, and I am slacking, in some ways, *laughed*. You have no idea.. Again, one of my goals for next years is as typical like the one I made in 3 years ago -that is - stopping being such a slacker.

    Opps, I have gotta go, a brief update of me..

    Currently working, we make graphic chips, this industry is so new to me but I love what I do every single day. Time goes fast here at work. Everyone's been so cool and kind. Everyday I learn something new. I am looking for an apartment, and a car. It's an adventure. My family is doing well. Please not to worry. Again, I thank how even though we may not understand everything but we are provided an assurance that everything's gonna be alright.

    To be conitnued.

  • You can't see a rainbow without a pouring rain. Sadness is part of life, but you can get over it and find your own rainbow by applying sunshine in your life.

  • A self-to-self conversation

    We all are humans, who doesn't dream.
    Don't blame me, especially when I am a Pieces.
    I have no more complains, and I won't complain - even if I don't ever dream again. I have been satisfied by nights of watching the story went with my eyes closed.  Admit it, life has been much fulfilled by the year of 2005. I am actually afraid to ask for more because I don't want to get disappointed. And Keane has done it again, from Somewhere Only We Know* to A Bad Dream.
    Guess what, I won't be in Boston on April 27, even though for unlimited number of times I told myself in the past 2 years, "you've got to be there". It's me, when I have decided to go on mission. I don't mean it's a sacrifice or what. Because I still believe in the future, like you told me to.
    Okay gal, it's time to put aside the longing dreams for the next couple of years, 'cause what you need now is much more spirituality. Some serious work are waiting for you to perform. 22 days to go.
    I'll never forget, for what happened in six hundred and ninety-five days ago.
    Everything does happen for a reason.
    Tonight I heard that, "the best way to know yourself is through someone else, and you'd be lucky if that's something you'd like to hear".
    God works in mysterious ways.

    *what a surprise, a top play count it deserves on my itune at 615.

  • Half and Half

    an inspiring entry i read last night, it's from Anson explaining how a "pre-missionary" can prepare for his/her mission. It's the "Half and Half" theory, as I would call it, which describes a person can own two equal parts/characteristics (skillful and spiritual) so s/he may become a great tool in preaching the gospel.
    Church was lovely yesterday, it has always been. But I miss my girls so much. I watched the videos we took when we were in Hawaii, I laughed badly 'cause we were so silly. Thankfully I get to talk to them all the time. I am listening to Mika's Grace Kelly. It makes me wanna jump around and sing and go crazy... Last weekend dad and I visited my brother and some of my relatives in Chico. Chico is such a loving place to live. Though it's small and there are cows and farms around. But it's a comfortable feeling by knowing the years I grew up there, safely and happily. So I wanna spend a few days there, to enjoy all the delicious food like the desserts from Upper Crust and the great Mexican food. Oh! I will also get to shop at Lulu's, and learning piano again. I think it'd be helpful if I know how to play for at least a couple of hymns whether for mission and the years to come... although I am sure there are gonna have tons of sisters who can play so well. Oh well, at least I know something. Even though it's a very tiny piece or it may be the simpliest song in the whole world. I just can't wait. And you know, Lion Tiger is whom I look up to 'cause I think he plays very enjoyable hymns, most importantly is he plays them by heart.

    Love love love~ la la la~~
