Just watched the house bunny today, don really know what to think of it.
The storyline is good really, but the connection with the playboy mansion and playboy playmates including the founder in the movie gives me doubts.
How the playmate changed for the better is great but i'm not sure whether the process should be followed. i don really know, but when my mom heard that the founder of the playboy industry was in the movie itself we had quite a debate.
of course it was quite funny but i wouldnt say it was really hilarious, cos if we really read between the lines, some of the jokes are topics we really try to avoid.
worst part is i got my sis and aunt to come watch with me rather than my friends--wrong move
my aunt said that we all had to be delivered .. lol(i think we do)
anyway the good part was that the 7 girls who thought they were misfits and ugly with the help of Shelley (the former playmate) began to find their through self, but also went quite overboard and became ppl they were not. which eventually drived them to blame everything on Shelly.
However, they finally found their balance and became who they really were from the inside out. I loved the part where Shelley said that her heart was gonna fall out of her head, sounds stupid huh? but she said in everything we do or choices we make we have to use our mind as well as our heart equally, which i think makes sense. but sadly i still think that the perverseness of the show kinda overshadowed the morality potrayed. of course its nothing compard to American Pie, which for your information i couldnt even bear to finish. i donno, call me contradictive, but i still think that it has an awesome storyline of just being and believing yourself.
the +side, Katherine McPhee is in it and i found out later that Adam Sandler was one of the producers. parts where Shelley talked 'bout meteors and ethromycin were kinda cool too. so i'm not sure whether i'm really for the movie or against it.
All i know is that the 1 thing Shelly and I have in common.....is that we own the same handphones

henry
after youth we all went to Salim for supper, was personally filled with mix emotions cos we were there to celebrate Henry's Birthday which is on the 11th of oct but at the same time to also bid him farewell (he's goin to S'pore soon to further studies, go for God!!!) :" yet :)
so we ordered different stuff and ate, quite typical right? not until i asked James to take a picture of us for remembrance... lol.. and look at what he did...
so we ordered different stuff and ate, quite typical right? not until i asked James to take a picture of us for remembrance... lol.. and look at what he did...
funny huh... he was actually videoing us when he was suppose to take a picture!!! saw how deb was like "make sure can see everybody" and Henry (our B'day boy got kinda bored... poor thing) was like giving the "peace" signs and Andy was like skeptical whether he wanted to be in the picture and Grace, Amy, Brandon and I were like giving different poses. lol!!!
after that things went back to normal til Leon and Joanna decided to play choose (paper, scissors, stone) 7 times (don understand why so many times) and the looser had to eat 7 mouths of Henry's cake... Grace tried to help by asking them to lower the challenge to just 4 mouths but our dear friend Leon insisted on 7.... so lets see who won???
lol.. what goes around really comes around! we really had a great time and we're all gonna miss Henry so so much! he's been more than a youth leader to us, a friend, a worship leader, an older brother and so much more... i believe he will bless many in S'pore..
Henry, just wanna say thank you so much for everything you've done in our lives especially me and my sis for sending us to church to and fro, for leading worship, for giving us life lessons, for organizing D'Race, for taking the lead in missions and the list goes on... we're really gonna miss you here but we believe that God has His purposes for you.. oh ya and thanks for teaching me how to blog :)
Henry really is a blessing to most of us... thats why he is 1 of my SILVER LININGS!!!
(note to Grace: really glad you could come, don think too much and leave it all to God, will be praying for you!)
maturity in God
Dont become so well-adjusted to your culture
that you fit into it without even thinking.
Instead, fix your attention on God.
You'll be changed from the inside out....
unlike the culture around you,
always dragging you down to its level of immaturity,
God brings the best out of you
and developes well-formed maturity in you.

BGR
its 12.25 in the mornin, tired but happy...
today we had our youth group at Kyrugma House which was fun especially cos Ps. Aster was the speaker!!! she talked bout BGR (boy-girl realationship)... which was a great help cos i believe that we're all in stages where we think bout this seriously...(thanks Aster!!!)
so yea.. she told us different important stuff to sum it up: 1st, we have to love ourselves and ask ourselves why we do.. list it all out then compare it to
Galations 5:22,23- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
if there is any of the above qualities in the reasons we love ourselves then its great.. cos self-acceptance is so important!!!
the she went on to talk bout how we can start praying for our future marriage partners even at our young age... below is what to pray for our marriage partner now:
1. If a you're a guy, pray for a girl (vice-versa)
2. Partner must love God
3. Have similar life goals
4. Respect other guys and girls
5. If called to be single God will tell
so this are what Ps. Aster taught us.. cool huh!?!
and after that we were asked by the youth in charge to hold hands in a circle and pray for the ppl on our left.. I really believe that it was God's will cos as i was praying for the person on my left i had this strong impression that this aunty was having a hard time making an important decision... i wasn't sure whether its from God or myself... but after praying i gathered my guts up to ask her whether she's in the midst of makin a decision and to my surprise she really did! so i prayed for her and hope for her all the best( i'll cont to pray for you, aunty) God is really working in her life and her family!!! and i believe she will be a SILVER LINING!!!
so today i learned that we always have to take chances.. cos what is there too loose.. its better to make a mistake and learn from it rather than keep something from someone when God is actually using you as His mouth-piece.. so what if we were wrong just try again and believe, for with faith all things are possible!!!!

what happened in prayer today
ok sorry, but i'm just writing and writing on and on bout my school's prayer meeting in just 1 sitting cos i just cant contain it!!! some ppl may not think it like this but i do think its some sort of revival!!!
now, i"ll just tell you what happened this afternoon in prayer (the fri one unlike the usual half an hour one we do everyday at 6.30 in the morn, this one is from 12.30 to 2)
firstly, when school finished and i was walkin out from my class and goin into the class where we usually have our prayer meeting which is on my school block and the same floor with my classroom,(how we got the place and permission to use it is another miracle and will tell you another time) my sis was like "have you seen it, have you seen it outside?" and i was like see what... then she said " the rainbow above, the whole circled one, the one that happened before"(more all less these were what she said) anyway, so i was like really?!? how cool is that and like my usual self i went "this must be a sign from God" and its also prayer meeting today
we actually had quite a few visions and pictures(which we usually call them,so more relatable to new christians) on rainbows and different colors...which is actually cool cos we're practicing the gifts of the spirits like visions, pictures, prophetic words and others too.. may share what we saw in the blogs to come...may..
yea so we were all really hiked up and really wanted to pray for Malaysia as its in its changing stages now...50 years has pass and now for the 51st year its time to give the nation back to God and allow Him to do what He always wanted!!! Its JUBILEE!!!
yea.. so we had worship lead by our wonderful friend Jia Jun, and Miguel on the guitar (thanks, Val and Deb for leading other times) it was good worship.. oh and we also played a game before that which was done by our aweaome friend Hannah(she also has her testimony to tell, actually all of us have our own stories to tell which will just glorify God) we had lots of fun just being ourselves after a whole day of school...then our friend Tan Ta Yun( we call him pastor cos he wants to be one when he is older and is already practicing it in our meetings, keep it up Tan!^^) shared a word on our relationship with God... and the wonderful part was during worship, Jia jun chose the song 'At the cross' by Hillsongs where the bridge goes ' You tore the veil, You made a way, when You said that it is done' ...
and i went on to explain after Tan's message bout how God tore the veil that was seperating the Holy place and Holy of Holies where the real presence of God was the moment Jesus breathed his last and said it is done.. and now, thanks to God, we dont have to slaughter animals in the tabernacle and go through the courtyard,Holy place, and Holy of Holies with fear and rituals but just come and meet Him face to face anywhere and anytime....
then we prayed for Malaysia and saw different things... Jing Jing and i saw the same picture where there were many fire droplets falling something like hail storms(not quite sure) on our land and there were many ppl running around with fear and avoiding the fire.. i didnt quite understand but when Jing Jing said that she saw a picture and explained it i knew it was from God cos we both had the same picture.. but i didnt get the back part and she did so she said after that she saw someone like a man in a malay costume plus the 'songkok' and stuff.. walkin calmly among the havoc through the streets where ppl were running all over.. then she saw in the sky God looking down and crying happy that we were doin something that made God happy.. we dont quite understand the whole part yet.. but she then saw something like a ball or force field covering our land and nothing could harm it and Jesus hugged the ball tightly with tears in His eyes and then the map of Sabah (the one like the dog head) very clearly...we really believe that God is doin somthing in Malaysia and especially Sabah
and it didnt end there.. we took out a picture which i asked Jasperin to draw cos it was seen by A. Christina (thanks aunty!) a church member of mine whom while praying for the prayer meeting and us in D'gap(yea!) ...cos she is so excited bout the revival happening in our school that she listens to every word i have to say bout whats goin on... and then she prayed and while praying, God showed her a picture of a lamb on a fire that was never gonna die down simply because the lamb was Jesus and the blood from the lamb represented the blood of Jesus and we were like the fire burning and with the blood of Jesus over us, the fire will never go out... so as long as we keep pleading the blood of Jesus over ourselves and others(cos when we go for prayer and are on fire for God.. the devil will wanna attack us even more), God will keep the revival burning ....!!! How cool is that!
so thats what happened today or maybe yesterday.. lol its 1.30 in the mornin.. and there is more to come cos God's power is ever working in our school and various lifes..
now, i"ll just tell you what happened this afternoon in prayer (the fri one unlike the usual half an hour one we do everyday at 6.30 in the morn, this one is from 12.30 to 2)

the birth of my school's prayer meeting (part 2)
EVENTUALLY CAME!!!
this is how it goes.. after the camp the 6 of us, Jasperin, Samuel (her bro), Debbie (my sis), Joanna, Priska and I of course got all hiked up and had this bigger burning desire in us to pray for our school... through this camp we met youth from different churches who are in our school and we asked them to join us.. so thats how the numbers got up.... from 6 it became 10 to 12 to 15 and one day we actually had 24 and some days there were more!!!
because of the amount of students coming, we had to change the place where we prayed... so which much prayer and discernment we switched from the library which is on the 1st floor of our IT block to the 2nd floor outside the multimedia room by the corridor...which is actualy quite EXPOSED!!! (I'll try to get some pictures)
yea.. so thats how we progressed... now, 10+ plus students coming to prayer meeting to me is no small thing especially when you have to wake up extra early and walk 2 storeys high just to come down again after half an hour or so... with our bags and sleepiness, its actually quite a sacrifice on our a part.. but of course theres nothing to complain about when our small sacrifice is nothing compared to the sacrifice Jesus did for us on the cross! thankfully none of us had really complain yet.... but of course we do hear complains from friends saying things like "not again", or "sure go prayer meeting one" but nothings gonna stop us. I know so...
after this I"ll write bout the past and what is and gonna happen in these prayer meetings.. I tell you, there are parts where you just wanna laugh, parts where you think lifes unfair, parts where we get ridiculed and more (bout our lateness to enter class) so yea.. if you guys wanna hear more or ask anything just feel free to give a comment ya!
God Bless

the birth of my school's prayer meeting (part 1)
my school has this prayer meeting we do every morning and fri of the week..
its really cool cos its lead by us students with no teachers around!
it started when the 6 of us started a prayer group to pray for our country, lifes and especially for revival to touch our school- KK High!!!
we started around March this year and had only 6 members throughout til may, we would pray in the library really quietly as not to disturb anyone else.. at first it was quite hard cos its like you really haven't woken up yet, then you have to walk to the library first with school books and stuff (heavy and not all that great) then each one of us will take turns to pray.. sometimes we get to class late (which is totally not excusable, later you'll see why), but at that time we thought that we were actually doin the right thing by praying more.. lol.. so all this happen til May....
when May came, we had this Passion camp which was lead by different youth leaders all round KK (thank you guys sooo much!) and it was really something!
the speaker was a totally gifted one and he is none other the cool, funky and down-to-earth, Ps. Kenneth Chin!
he taught us different things that i think will be kept in our hearts throughout our lifes..
he also taught us to pray for Malaysia and our schools and believe that revival will come which EVENTUALLY.......
