Hope VS Expectations

I was talking to my cousin that day, and my cousin mentioned this: 

"Every time I put my hopes up, I get disappointed at the end."

I replied immediately, that Hope doesn't disappoint. Expectation does. :)

I've not lived as long as a 50 or 60 year old has. I'm not as wise as an owl either. But I've been through enough, to be able to differentiate the two. :)

Expectations.

They are usually unhealthy. Why..? 

Because in your mind, you have an idea of how it's supposed to be. Based on your own opinion, you picture it. And because of that, many times, we box God up. We think that, this is how God is gonna do it, this is how God is gonna make it work for me. It has to be this, because it's how I like it.

Expectations are usually conditional too. It has to be like that, if not I'll be unhappy. And before you realized, it's all about me, me and me.

It becomes selfish. And when on earth do you ever see selfishness together with happiness...? Never.

And when that something that is expected doesn't come through, you feel like it's the end of the world.

William Shakespeare was right - Expectations is the root of all heartaches.

But when Hope steps in, it's a whole different story. :) 

Jeremiah 29:11 says,
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

With Hope, you know there is a future. Despite how crushed and broken your dreams are, Hope keeps you moving forward. Because there is a better future. One only God knows. For He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you. There is something ahead of you that is worth fighting and keep living for.
Hope, keeps you alive. :)

Love,

Humble Beginnings

No one is born great. We all start somewhere.

No matter how well you do today, no matter how successful you are, never ever forget your humble beginnings. 

I almost forgotten mine. And God had to remind me to remember it, the hard way. And mannnn, it hurts. But I know it was because He loves me. If God stops dealing with you and your mess, something is really wrong and you should be worried.

Sometimes we get so caught up with our own success that we forgotten that there is a thing called Blessing. We thought that we are the ones who work our way up; we thought success comes from our own effort; we look at our hands and tell ourselves, it is us who did it on our own.

That is the moment when pride takes over, and we lose our humility. And when you think so highly of yourself, do you really think there will be any room left for you to remember where it all began?

Don't repeat the same mistake I made a year ago. Remember your humble beginnings, and it will lead you somewhere extraordinary.

No one is born great. We are all start somewhere. Remember. =)

Love,

Should She Stay Or Should She Go

I was driving to work this morning, and as usual I switched on the radio to listen to Mix FM. And they always have this program known as "Should I Stay Or Should I Go". Basically, if you have a dilemma about whether you should stay or move on in a situation, you can just call up and talk to JD and Dilly and they'll try to get you advices from the audiences.

So today, this lady called up and mentioned her situation, that she's been separated from her husband for a year. And within that year, she met this new guy. At first it was just a fling, and after that, it got serious. And when she thought it's time to move on, the husband came back and said he wants to work things out. So now she's kinda stuck in between, deciding whether to try to work things out with the husband or just move on with the new guy.

What surprises me was this, out of 10 audiences who called to give their point of view, 10 asked her to move on. I mean, logically, yes, you should move on if you're not happy in a relationship...but my question is this: 

Does anyone still respect and understand the meaning of marriage? What happened to marriage covenants? What happened to "Til death do us part"?

I guess many of us would try to tell ourselves that we all have the rights to be happy.. and I don't deny the truth about it. Who doesn't want to be happy right? But marriage is not a game. It's not something you give up easily just because you're unhappy about it.  

Ask any married couple, are their relationship always smooth sailing? Is it always easy? I'm sure each and every one of them would give you a 100% "No" for an answer.

To the lady who called in this morning, if you're reading this, my advice may be slightly different from the rest of the audience. To be honest, if you were not married, I would say, MOVE ON!! But in your case, try to work things out. You married him for a reason, find back that reason and give yourself another chance to fall in love again. Good things don't come easily, it may be hard, but it'll be worth it someday. I'm not saying that it'll work out for sure, but at least you try. And you'll never regret when you've tried your best.

All the best. :)

A Letter to Myself

Dear Eeleen,

I hope you're reminded that the fact that you've come this far could only mean one thing: 

That you're special and you're meant for something great. 

Remember how many times you've cried? Remember all the times you've felt like you can't go on anymore?

Remember how you've got your heart broken so many times and didn't understand how can life be so unfair?

And the bazillion times you've failed yourself and those who love you? Failures after failures, mistakes after mistakes. And do you remember how often you told yourself that this would be the last time you'd screw up and realize that it's just a lie you tell yourself?

But look at you today, Eeleen. You're still here. Still pushing on. Still fighting. Still believing. 

That's how it should be. 

Life ain't a bed of roses. It ain't all smooth like pure yoghurt.

Things happen. Sh*t happens. Circumstances change. We meet people who drive us up the wall. And some eventually break our hearts though we gave them everything we have.

But remember one thing, the harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. Everything you go through is a story that could help someone someday. Every mistake and teardrop is a lesson learnt. Or like how some people like to put it, there is no mistake. Everything happens for a reason. 

I believe that one can only understand if he or she has gone through it and come out of it with victory. How can you understand someone who felt hopeless if you've not been at that state before? And how can you say you've loved someone, if you haven't been at the situation where his/her happiness is the most important thing, even if it means letting them go? 

Keep believing, Eeleen. Have a leap of faith. His mercy and grace is always sufficient. 

So don't give up. When things get tough, look up. Your strength comes from above.

Do what you love, Eeleen. Don't let the world define you. Don't let them kill your dreams and destroy your passion. I know you feel scared sometimes. It's normal to be afraid. It shows that you're human and it gives you a chance to have faith.

And you deserve to be happy. Don't settle for less, or good enough. Your heavenly Father wants you to have the best of everything in life. So why settle for anything less than that, silly?

Be patient and wait. Let it be His time, His will, His way. 

Til then, always believe.

"A quarter of a century year old now". HAHA. But to be honest, it's just a number. Yes, it comes with responsibilities. But it doesn't mean you have to be all serious and boring. Be young at heart. Be crazy if you have to. As long as you don't get anybody killed, or break any biblical laws. ;)

And ALWAYS..always remember to appreciate those who have been there through thick and thin. Life is short. Make sure you remember to tell them about how you feel before they're gone. You'll never know when. Regretting over something you didn't do or could have done, it the worst feeling one can feel. Don't ever let that happen. Once again, Happy Birthday. :) 

Love,

Eeleen

12 Easy Tips for A Blissful Relationship

By YourTango.com (with a little additional information here and there by me. Teehee.)

1. Mind your manners.

"Please", "Thank you", "Sorry", "Excuse me" are just as important when you're communicating with your partner.

These little words are often forgotten when we get too comfortable with each other. Remember, these can go a long way in helping your partner remember that you respect and love him or her and don't take them for granted.

Ps: Don't fart or burp in front of your partner and think that it's okay to do so. *Annoyed face* 

2. Variety is the spice of life.

Many of us are habitual beings. Like for me, I eat the same food whenever I enter a particular restaurant. Someone once told me I was the most boring and predictable person she's ever met. HAHA!

So here's the problem, studies have shown that dullness can lead to dissatisfaction with a relationship. My advice? Try something new every once in a while. Try out a new restaurant. Visit a place you two won't usually go. Do something crazy that you two have never thought of attempting. Discoveries you make together will keep you feeling close. 

3. The people that plays together, stays together.

Find a sport or hobby that the two of you enjoy (And NO, watching TV doesn't count. Dang.). Be it floorball, biking, rock climbing, running, doing puzzles... Find something you both enjoy doing together.

4. Fight right.

Make sure you fight over the right reasons. In order to have productive arguments, keep these rules in mind. Use the right words and say it appropriately. Don't say things out of anger. Don't call your spouse names. When things get really tough, take a break from the argument. Let the other person finish his/her sentences. Don't initiate a discussion when you're angry.

5. I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine.
Nobody likes demands. If you want your lover to do something and you're not sure he or she will be agreeable, the quickest way to avoid a confrontation is to sweeten the deal.
Compromise is the key word. For example,
"I'll massage you if you watch next Monday's football game with me."
I'm 98% sure she'll take the deal. ;)

6. Two heads are better than one.
When you're in a relationship, it means you've made a merger. Not only in terms of joined assets but also inheriting his or her problems. Rather than looking at his problems as merely his own, tackle them together. For example, if he's gaining weight, rather than pushing him to diet on his own, enroll in an exercise program together.

7. Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
I personally think that couples shouldn't spend 247 together. Even when you're married. (Unless you happen to be working in the same company and in the same department laa...) This is important so that at the end of the day when you finally spend some quality time together, you get to discuss about each others' day.
Maintain your own friendships and occasionally have a night out without your significant other is important too. Doing things without your partner not only makes you miss him or her, it also keeps you sane. And, in case the relationship doesn't work out, you'll still have your friends.

8. Sound it out.
In other words: Communicate! Talking out the tough subjects such as money, religion, fidelity, raising kids-will not be the most fun you've had, but it will be valuable. Many relationships fail because couples don't communicate. Keeping feelings, thoughts and anger to yourself will be like keeping a bag of potato and carrying it around with you. Sooner or later, the potatoes are gonna rot, and it's gonna smell. And there's no way you can make a nice potato salad with rotten potatoes ain't it?

9. Laughter is the best medicine.
Learn to laugh at yourself and at silly mistakes. If he throws his red shirt into the washing machine and stained your RM300 white Polo-T during washing, laughing it off is, in the long run, better than getting angry. It's just a RM300 white Polo-T, not the end of the world. Plus, WHY DO YOU NEED TO BUY A RM300 WHITE POLO-T IN THE FIRST PLACE?!? Too much money to spend isit?!? Pfffffft.

10. Keep your eyes on the prize.
Yes, he forgot your co-worker's name for the tenth time, but it probably doesn't mean he doesn't care about you. If you keep your perspective fixed on the goal: To be in a happy, functioning partnership, then you're less likely to get tangled up in every minor annoyance.

11. Quitters never win.
Find a ritual and keep it alive, no matter what. Whether it's always kissing each other good night, holding hands when you're out, renewing wedding vows every year, sleeping in as late as you want once a month or committing to having salad for dinner once a week, pick something that makes you both feel good and stick to it, even when you're tempted to skip.

12. When the tough gets going, the tough get going...to therapy.
Studies show that couples who seek counseling during rocky periods are more successful in resolving their issues than those who don't. Whether its from a religious figure, counselor or mental health professional, getting an expert to help sort out strife is as wise as forgoing self-installation and hiring a plumber to put in a new sink.

OCD

Sounds like CoD? Call of Duty? 

Hahahaha. Talk about CoD, my first time playing CoD was with Captain Awesome when we were still friends. And that bum bum sabotage me by stabbing me from behind while I was hiding and avoiding from being shot. Dang. Hmmmp!! .____.

Okay okay. Back to our topic - OCD.

OCD is short for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

It is an anxiety disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), or behaviors that make them feel driven to do something (compulsions).
Like a needle getting stuck on an old record, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) causes the brain to get stuck on a particular thought or urge. For example, you may check the stove twenty times to make sure it’s really turned off, wash your hands until they’re scrubbed raw, or drive around for hours to make sure that the bump you heard while driving wasn’t a person you ran over. 

Sounds scary? Do I look scary to you? :(
Don't worry, I don't have repeated thoughts, ideas or feelings of killing somebody. LOL.
My problem is this: Being overly tidy. :) Have you seen people who wash their hands for 5 minutes at the sink and won't leave the bathroom though they're already really clean? They too suffer from OCD.

It was really, really hard for me.
I had to make sure that things were in order before I leave the room.
I had to make sure that the carpet is in line with the floor tiles.
I had to put my books at a "correct" angle.
My clothes are folded into the same size and has to be precisely stacked on top of one another.
I go to supermarkets and arrange their cans and bottles at a certain same angle for them.
The list goes on and on. And the worst part is, I don't do this once a day. I check each of them REPEATEDLY. I could spend 20 minutes keeping a book, making sure it's precisely angled to the corner. Sigh.
It got to a point that it really interfered with my daily life. I couldn't go out of the house without making sure that the carpets were flat on the ground. And even when I was out, I'd be anxiously thinking if my books were orderly arranged or my mom would pull one of my clothes out from my closet and "ruin" the whole arrangement.

I knew something was very wrong with me. And I knew I couldn't possible go on like this. I couldn't tell others about my problem because I felt like I was some sort of freak. I was shy and scared. So I prayed. I prayed because I don't know what else to do. I don't know how to help myself anymore.
And so God sent me away from home. Far away from my own comfort zone. And that's when things started to change. :)
I met my roommate, Jennifer in University, who always messes things up. A.L.W.A.Y.S.
I clean up, she messes up. I clean up again, she messes up again. All my proper arrangements, orderly stacked clothes, all the cleaning just seem to go to waste with her around. And it got to a point where I got so frustrated and I just stop cleaning and arranging things so meticulously. And that was when I realize, that my life didn't actually fall apart just because I don't put my clothes according to size or color. And in fact I feel more relieved when I actually let certain things be the way it is.
Not everything needs to be in perfect order, right? :)

Did I go for psychotherapy? No I didn't. Did I take medications? No I did not.
I placed my faith and trust in God. Have you heard of a statement that goes like this: "God will not help you if you don't help yourself." That's sooooo NOT true. I couldn't help myself.
Which is why I let God do His work in me. I guess I'm a living testimony now. :)

I'm still a tidy person. Ask Jennifer. Or Captain Awesome. Or my brother. Or my parents. LOL. :) I love cleaning up. But instead of it controlling me, I'm controlling it. I no longer get anxious or worried when I don't fold my clothes accordingly, though I still take longer than normal people to fold clothes laaa. Hehe. But I'm better now. I'm no longer ashamed to admit that I have OCD, because I've conquered it. :)
If anyone of you out there is suffering from the same problem, leave me a comment. If you're shy, comment as anonymous. We all need someone to talk to, eventually. :)

Memorable Moments of 2011

As we embark into a new year, let's not forget to be grateful for year 2011. Even if it's a lousy year, I'm very sure it has shaped us into a better person in a way or another. Even when we don't really notice it. :)

I didn't end year 2011 with a Grand Finale or start year 2012 with a bang. In fact, I find myself standing at a cross road, not knowing what to do, wishing I could bury my head into the soil like an ostrich and not face things.

But I'm thankful. I'm thankful for each and every day because it could have been my last. I'm grateful for another chance to make things right. Yes. Life is full of crap. Boss gives you crap; friends give you crap; siblings give you crap; parents give us crap too sometimes; boyfriend/girlfriend gives you crap. 

But you know what, the agriculture industry uses crap as an organic fertilizer to grow plants, fruits and vegetables. Hehehehe. :D So it's not that bad la. What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, right? :)

Eeleen's Memorable Moments of 2011:

Number One:

Driving Sheryn, Serene, Sharron & Pei Yi down to KL with my not-so-loving Love Hits CD playing on the car stereo. My Love Hits CD includes songs like Crash the Wedding by Busted and Eminem's "I'm Sorry Mama", which is full of anger and vulgar words. HAHAHA. I chose and burn the CD on my own when I was in Form 5 I think. I must be crazy and angry that time. LOL.

Number Two:

Scoring a hattrick goal after cramping my bum very badly. Hehe. Most Penang floorballers would know this by now. *Embarrassed* The pain was...insane.

Number Three:

Walking the stage during my Convocation, praying very hard that the sole of my wedges don't come off with 6000 people looking at me!! Thank goodness it only came off after the whole ceremony. PHEW!!

Number Four:

Exiting the exam hall after sitting for my final paper of varsity, with my head held high. :)

Number Five:

Seeing a barracuda swimming 2 meters away from me. *Gulps*

Number Six:

Enduring the wisdom tooth surgery. So proud of myself. Yes. I'm a scardy cat. So what?? Ha??

Number Seven:

Skyping with Captain Awesome on Christmas Eve. :)

Number Eight:

Crying and limping pass my first ever 21km marathon finishing line.

Number Nine:

Eating my first ever salted popcorn in TGV cinema. I SO LOVEEEEEE SALTED POPCORNS!!!

Number Ten:

Walking along the hills and valleys of Hanoi, Vietnam and feeling amazed by God's beautiful creation. :)

Number Eleven: 

Watching the news of Oslo bombing in Norway, and being SOOOO thankful that my parents were back safe and sound. They were there, standing at the exact same spot a few days before the place was attacked. 

Number Twelve:

Receiving my first paycheck. :)))

Come to think of all these, God is indeed good to me in year 2011. :)

In 12 Hours Time

......I'll be wishing everyone Happy New Year 2012!!

Time really flies. But I'm very sure that with God in my life, year 2012 is gonna be another great, awesome year. :) So come what may, for God is with me. And who can be against me? :)

I miss the feeling of watching fireworks in a cold winter place. :)
Happy New Year, peeps!!

Juggling life

Ever since I started working (internship more precisely), I find myself wishing there were more than 24 hours a day. =]
I sleep 7 hours; my job took the other 12; and I'm left with 5 hours. By the time I'm done with dinner and washing up, probably..4?
My Saturdays and Sundays are always jam-packed. They usually belong to the big Guy above. That I don't complaint. But the rest of it... I felt myself suffocating, trying to grab hold of any spare time left for myself.

I used to be able to sit in my room, with my guitar, and sing whatever that comes to my mind. But now...
I find it so hard to juggle between family, floorball, studies, work, friends, myself, love (maybe)...sometimes I get so tired I just fall asleep without talking to Jesus. Sigh.
I talked to LinKen the other day (he's a real good juggler btw) and he said everybody only has 24 hours, so I gotta prioritize. But it's so much easier said than done people. How do you prioritize when everything seems important to you? =/

I gotta make things better starting from today. Like he said: PRIORITIZE. I'm putting Jesus first. And I believe when I do, the rest will just fall into place. =]

[Can time stand still for me?]

Picture taken with my Canon Ixus 95. =)

I will not wish for 25 hours a day, but I can pray for wisdom to start & end my day according to His ways.

New Chapter

It has been a rough start for me for this new year.
There's no need to mention what happened. 'Cause it's a past now.
But I wanna thank you. For this scar you left on my heart.
It opened my eyes and it opened doors that I thought I've locked.
I've pick up each and every broken pieces though.
I've forgiven you and I've forgiven myself.
And I'm starting a New Chapter of my life.
One which I won't allow you to ruin anymore.
And a Chapter which I know is gonna be full of love, life, great challenges and so much more.

Teach me how to write this New Chapter of mine O' Lord.

New year, new start

I've been wanting to post this up for ages but whenever I finish writing the first sentence, I just delete the whole post.
My 2009 didn't end too well, neither did I start my year 2010 awesome-ly.
But I made decisions. Decisions I never knew I could make. It was heart-breaking but I know when I look back 5 years from now, I will not regret it. I did it for God. I did it for us.

Life's like a race. I didn't start my race for 2010 too well. But it's not about how you start your race, but how you run it, and most important of all...how you end it. =)
I know, believe and trust God for a great year ahead.
I'm not getting any younger as years goes by, and I definitely can feel the responsibilities and commitments on my shoulders duplicating.

But hey...it's just part of growing up. =) Of course I miss the times when I was still schooling. Let me list down a few things I did in school which I was "proud" of:

1. One of my teacher threw a piece of chalk at me and my best friend and my friend caught it. She walked up to the front and gave it back to her. It was a duster after that. X)
2. Was punished to stand at the corridor when I was in Form 5 with all the juniors looking. And I was waving happily to them! XP
3. I have a special seat in chemistry lab which is next to the teacher right in front, facing the whole class. Imagine that. Hahahahahaha!
4. I climbed up to the roof of the school to take a picture. -.-"

No. My results weren't sucky. I was pretty bright. Pretty only ha. =) And I excelled in sports, music, and everything else. But I didn't forget to have fun. I never regretted like some of my book-worm-friends, who studied so much and "neglected" fun. But of course their results were so much better than mine la. Hahahahaha. =)

Decisions I made yesterday has brought me to where I am today. Yes, I do regret some but there's nothing I can do to change things. But my Creator's grace is always sufficient for me.
And thank you Mom and Dad. For always being there for me like a parent, like a friend. And to all of you who've left something in my heart, I'll always remember. Even if you just walked past. =)

I am where I am today because of yesterday. I wouldn't change anything even if I were to start all over again.
Maybe a little la. Hehe.

God bless the broken road

That leads me straight to You.

Sometimes...

...heartbreaks happen.

Exhausted

I'm physically & mentally tired.

Even heroes need a break.
What more a mere mortal like yours truly.

If this is how You're gonna stretch me,
Let Your Grace be with me.

Picture taken from billysphoto.devianart.com

Time changes everything...

...that includes changing our all-time favorite superheroes too!!! Hahahahaha. X)

Superman

Wonder woman

Batman & Robin

And my favorite hero - Spiderman

Crazily cute pictures. =) But aiya...what's the possibility of spiderman wearing adult diapers?

When I was 5, Spiderman looked like this...

Now that I'm 22, he looks even better. With reflective eyes and a beautiful girlfriend! =)

In superheroes' world, they only grow stronger and better.
But hey, shouldn't it be the same with us too?
Definitely not physically 'cause humans grow old.
But what about mentally? Spiritually?
That's definitely something for us to ponder upon. =)

No more nagging!

Dad: "You better clean your room girl."
Girl: "Yes daddy!!! You say that almost everyday!!!"

Mom: "Don't leave your shoes and socks on the floor. Put them on the shoe rack."
Boy whispers to himself: "Urghh. She nags everytime I come back from school!!!"

Have you ever felt that way?
Why my parents like to nag at me so much?!?
Got right?! It happens to everybody almost everyday.
But, have you ever wonder why they nag? Why your parents have to repeat it over and over again?
It's because whatever they say goes through both our ears, but never into our hearts and minds. And it's usually something we don't like to listen to but it's good for us.
This is one situation where "ignorance is bliss" does not apply.
The only reason they nag is because we're not doing what they want us to do;
or more precisely, what we're supposed to do.
If your parents ask you to do something, do it.
If she asks you to clean your room, do it.
If he asks you to finish up your work first, do it...
and with CONSISTENCY. Not just once, not one day. But consistently.
Then you'll be surprise of the awesome outcome:
the sweet sound of a satisfying silence. XP
So don't be irritated when your parents nag, they don't like doing it as much as you don't like listening to it. (Trust me, I've a younger brother whom I nag at and hate doing it.)
Many times it's because our age is there, but we're not there.
For example, you're 20 and you still need your mom to serve you dinner while you sit there waiting. (Sounds familiar?)
So it's time to take up the responsibilities we have, and I promise the nagging will stop. =)))
But to be honest, mommy's nagging is something I miss when I'm far from home. =]

Once in A Lifetime

I was having dinner with Jenn yesterday, & she asked me this suddenly:
"What are the things you wanna do at least once in your life before you go back "home"?"
I couldn't answer at first. And it got me thinking through the whole dinner. Hmmm.
I guess I could have given tons of answers if she asked me like... 5 years ago? When everything seems possible, perfect and problem-free. =]
But oh well, what harm does it do to hope and have a dream right? So here are some of the things I REALLY wanna do once in my life:

1. Fly a plane (with no passengers). Don't want anyone to die with me if I make any mistakes. Haha. =))))
2. Watch the finals of World Floorball Championship LIVE in Sweden? Finland? =) Or maybe play in it? (Wait long long la me...)
3. Worship lead in a concert with a congregation of 5000 people. *Dreaming...*
4. Get dressed up by international designers and make-up artist? X)))
5. Eat so much cheese til I puke.
6. Watch live performance of Sound of Music on Broadway. Awesome.
7. Swim and play with dolphins!!! =)))
8. Appear in a movie even if I'm just an extra. Hehe.
9. Buy my own house and decorate it so nice that it came out in those home-design magazine.
10. Go deep sea fishing and eat my own catch RAW!!!

Can't think of anything else now. So yup, these are some of the crazy things on my mind. =) Will post about it soon when I do think of other stuffs. =)

So i stood up. Closed the menu, and walked out of the shop and into my favorite 3-dishes and rice-shop - all for only RM3.50!!!=)
I bet the waitress must be "cursing" me. Oooooopss. =)
