Are you Afraid of Pain?

Dear gals,

Want to share with you my latest post on my personal blog
"God please take away my pain.." (click here)

My class outing

hey gurls..
I thought of sharing my class outing with all of ya!! [beware!! its long] (^^!)

Yesterday my classmates from polytechnic came to east coast park and we had a bbq!! haha...it was awesome!! Though it was a letdown at first, as not all manage to attend, it turned out to be a great day. Overall i think only about 14++ of us came...Hmm...I have fun on the day itself as well as the time spent for the preparation shopping for the food items at giant!! Shopping for the food items was fun...we did not really have a physical item list to follow, so it was more of a treasure hunt...because we not sure where the things are..haha..


It took awhile to set the fire up but eventually the fire manage to lit up after a long long time...haha...When I reached there, several strikes of thunder could be heard and the the clouds look a bit dark.. It looks like it is going to rain...Another letdown I thought...while waiting my classmates we played "monkey"...others went cycling...I was sitting there and one of my friend from Myanmar asked me why was I sad...but i wasn't... maybe it is just because my facial expression portrays my thinking...because suddenly I felt discouraged as not much people are there and a part of it was because I was tired because I had religious class in the morning... So its been a long day for me..maybe i was feeling alone too.. i wasn't...it was just the feeling =P


As the food start to be cooked, I started eating...It was delicious though! haha we also played some games...hmm then me and another friend went for a walk...The sun have set not long ago but it wasn't too dark so we sat near the shoreline...played tic tac toe in the sand!!...we were reflecting on life..all the ups and downs...that was our topic for our conversation...Whenever there was silence, I would just look at the waves..and feel the calming sensation of the sound when the waves hits the shore. When I looked up several stars could be seen and the bright lights from the ships was indeed a beautiful scenery. Suddenly I felt like crying, not because I was very sad but just because I wanted to...maybe because I haven't been crying in awhile..


Then at around 10++ we packed our stuff, said our goodbyes...went to the mrt station and took the train...When I was in the train, a sudden realization hits me..The day was ending, already? that fast? Hmm but I didn't want it to end..partly because I was having fun without me even knowing it..I felt stubborn...I want it to last longer!!!!!...even the mrt seems to be moving faster...I want to talk longer with my friend in the train!!! haha...When my friend when to the different direction, I was on my way journey home alone...the funny thing is when the mrt announced my destination, I felt that my legs were lazy to stand and get out..partly because I am still stubborn, not wanting it to end and all...haha.. but I managed to reach home before midnight!!! haha...


The moral of reading my lovely, interesting and long story is that I have learn not to judge something by its cover...just as I judge that the day was going to be a letdown..but it wasn't...I WAS HAVING FUN!!!!!

p.s. the photos nice rite??its original.. no photoshop!!!

sher's peeling...)):

sob. my retarted skin cells, is slow in transmitting signals to the brain.
and my skin is only starting to peel now!!
( when i got sun burn, that's last wed for your information )
if i were to wear a sleeveless top, i look like someone with some skin cancer or what-so-ever.
awwwwww~
i think i have the lack of vitamin C.
perhaps that explain why all the wounds,scar etc took so long to heal.
any tips to cure burnt skin??
and retarted skin cells?

hope you guys are doing fine,
LOVE!

hey guys... sat sentosa mus go ar... mirabel.. sori.. haven get de responses from dem yet... kekexz...

cant wait to c u guys... miss u guys lot!!! i in sch.. haha... next time den write longer... byE...

yes, persevere!

whenever i tell my friends about the CCA i am in in poly
* which is dragonboat :) *

everyone will go, " SIAO EH! "

yes, for once, i thought i was insane to have joined a sport that is is so much of a committment and challenage because of the tough physical training
*well, at least for me, someone who left all my athletic genes in my mummy's womb when i was born*
and risk getting 'toasted' and having muscular and unfeminine arms at the end of the day.

i joined dragonboat for fun in the first place.
because i want to try something different.
( that's the reason why i gave up rock climbing!! sad! )

after several training, i wanted to stay because i want to try and prove myself wrong that i can run, do proper sit up, push up if i persevere, try and practice.
*sports is so not my cake of tea, for goodness sake i suck at sports*

its not easy when people there are athletics, able-built and grouchy.
because some of them gossips and laugh at you if you are 'weak'
WHATEVER.

but i realised, why bother about how other people think about you?

i have only myself to overcome.
and i run not for them,
but for my own sake.

perhaps this is something i am weak in.
but at least i bother to try
((:
and im still trying ((:

i make myself run at least twice week,
climb the stairs if im not rushing for time,
walk instead of taking the bus,
learn to manage my time between 3 cca,family, friends and school work
and many more.

and now i enjoyed rowing!!

its mind over body
((:

so, JIAYOU bah!!

Run the Race with Perseverance

If you read my comment to Amy's post (just below), i would like to describe to you one of my personal challenges last year that relates to it.

Last December i took part in the Standard Chartered Half-Marathon (21km) - my very first! To a person who dislikes running and did not enjoy my 2.4km runs in school, i felt almost like i paid $30++ for registration, just to push myself into a pit . But hey, the more i was not comfortable in doing it, the more i wanted to take up the challenge to push myself beyond my limits.

These were my take-aways from the race:

^Pain in the joints between the legs and the torso

^Bruised toenails (Ouch! They dropped off after that!)

^Bad headache

^Over-exerted strain on the stomach (i forgot to eat breakfast! gosh)

Now you must be thinking "Mirabel you siaoz ah!".

But i had NO REGRETS! I AM A WINNER! I conquered myself!

Yes the temporary conditions above tried to discourage me from finishing the race. I felt like my body was breaking into two pieces. But in mental strength, i saw my finishing line right from the start, and crossed it in the end!

And guess what, i was healed from these right after the race. My toe nails are nice now. Ha.

Do not be mistaken that i was one of the top runners to finish the 21km. I didn't care how fast the others ran. I was running my own race, and the most important thing was that i finished it.

And this little experience taught me really, like what i said in my comment to Amy's post, to finish my own race of life well and strong, even with bloody knees after falling!

How are you running your race (of life) today?

Are you too busy comparing your speed with others that you don't push yourself the maximum?

Do you keep looking backwards, wondering how you had done in the past? Remember you cannot change the past, but you CAN determine how your future will be.

Have the end in mind, run the race with perseverance, look AHEAD and stay focused!

April Coughlin, of New Paltz, celebrates as she crosses the finish line at the 2001 Utica Boilermaker Road Race, Sunday, July 8, 2001. She was the second female to finish in the wheelchair race.

EOO!!
haha..it's my first post here..
GIve me some encouragement ba..
YAHOOO~~
hehe
as far as i know,, everyone is walking towards our goals in life..
we shall work hard to make our dream to become reality.
and make every single day a remarkable one.
I am doing tt,, and i hope everyone will do tt too~~

Thought you gals would be happy to know...

... that Jia Huey got married on 2nd June! =)














(Photo taken at her matrimonial ceremony at my church)

Jia Huey has been a splendid sister to me, always ready with a kind word or encouragement, always believing in me.

Do drop her a note of congrats if you see her! =)



And to answer you gals on when mine will be (you gals never stop asking huh, haha)... Continue waiting! =p

Hey there!! (^^!)

How are you guys? Miss you guys loads!!

YEAH!! holidays are finally here. I am having fun in poly, meeting new friends and learning new subjects apart from just maths, sciences and languages. Somehow in poly I feel as though time flies by fast...Just in a blink of an eye I have been schooling for abt 2 months now..It feels like just yesterday I was in school for the first time being a freshmen and all..

Nursing rocks!! haha.. hmm I am having a blast..My lab lesson is in a hospital setting and I get to play with the maniquein... not exactly "play" but more of practice on it...Right now, I am learning about bones... its soo interesting.. I get to observe the skeleton bones, some real ones and others made of plastic...Boys-there's only three of them in my class...but I admire their passion for nursing..

I wish all of you the best and hope to receive updates soon...

Harlows dear ones!

Dear gals,

I remembered saying that i hope our journeys can go a looooong way together, even after our official life coaching had ended.

We may not be able to walk together, or see one another all the time, but i think we can be an encouragement and support still to one another in big and small ways.

Let's use this blog to share our lives, keep in touch and shine a light for one another. I would love to hear from each of you about your life along time, as i share my own.

Encourage
Faithfulness
Gentleness

luv,
mirabel

Project Beautiful

Remember that chillout night? This is a recap of my blogpost after that.

Thanks for being such wonderful models for my Project Beautiful! =)


* * *
(dated 23 Mar 2007)

Last night i met up with my LCs (life coachees), and i gave myself a challenge.

I wanted to capture the beauty of the smiles on every of their faces.

I think i did quite a good job. *winks*

Flash Slideshow

(Photos taken on Canon Powershot A710 IS)

To my wonderful LCs and best coach intern Belinda,

I was not surprised that, when i asked one word from each of you to describe how you feel about your upcoming stage of life - enrolling into polytechnics, taking the O'levels, graduating from polytechnic, most of you said 'fearful' and 'worried'. It is understandable.

Nonetheless i want to bless you with courage. Courage to brave up, and move forward, knowing that the future is there for you to behold. You may face successes and failures altogether, but remember, failures too are excellent opportunities for us to learn and grow out of, and into our potentials.

If you never give up, nobody can ever make you give up, on pursuing your dreams.

I am excited for each and every of you! =) Having walked through you gals for almost two years (Belinda, 4 years?), I have seen each of you grow, and i know that you gals really have what it takes to shine, more and more.

Let me say this again, thank you gals for allowing me into your lives! =) *huggies*
