MLM: I got shot!

If you're thinking of what I think you're thinking which is getting shot by a gun then you're wrong.
I'm talking about injection.
Let me rewind to last month. So, I went back to my hometown during my Semester break, just two weeks before Hari Raya. A week before that my mother went for a blood test and her results say that she have this sickness that I forgot the name. The doctor say that it is genetic, which means my sister and I can inherit it. So, just so happen that I came back for holiday, my mother ask me go take the blood test. I like and hate taking blood test. I like the fact that I get to see my blood(yes, I know I'm weird). I hate the fact that after the injection they put the plaster on arm and it's super sticky and when you take it out, it hurts like ^$%^#$ because it pulls my skin hairs.. Anyways, I got the results and I don't have what my mother have but the doctor ask me to take the hepatitis injection and I have to take both A and B. I was like What? I have to take two shots, then the doctor say, no la, just once, just combine into one(was relief a lil). I had to take it because doctor say if I study in KL, there is a chance that I get the Hepatitis A or B disease because I eat out all the time. So it's like a safety precaution.
So I have my first jab in Kuching from one of the private clinics around the Timberland area. The doctor so handsome. XD
Anyways, I have to have two more jab. So I have to take it here in KL. I just went for my second jab about two days ago.
I was at the clinic and this lady walk in. Guess who she was..
A freaking celebrity!! One of the Malay actress that I forgot her name... Something something Ahmad. I can't remember.
So, my first jab was at my left shoulder which was weird. My arm hurt the whole day. Someone purposely hit me again..
Then my second jab was at my left arm near my BCG scar which still hurt till this day. My friend went to hit me, twice, can't blame her thought, she didn't know, I only told her after she hit me twice.
My conclusion, inject at the shoulder is less painful than inject at the arm. I couldn't sleep well because of my second jab because I always sleep on my left side so it hurts so badly.
*sigh* I have five months left until my last jab.
So, what's your story? Have you recently get an injection or blood test? Do you have a "pain" story to tell? Share share ya?

Have a nice day!

Update #1

Ok, so I decided that I'm gonna add another segment called Testimony because I feel that some things are worth telling. They are true stories that I believe it should be shared. It may not be useful to you but it may impact a life. You never know what you do or go through may encourage people.
Second agenda, I know I haven't tell you about my second semester and how's it like so far but I will post about it someday. Hopefully I can do it by next week.
Third, I want to bring back my movie reviews segment. For the pass few months I feel that I didn't have the will to write reviews anymore but lastly, that passion came back. I know my reviews are not the best reviews but it's just my point of view. It's up to you to agree or disagree. Either way, just read it.

Thanks for reading my blog. I need feedback.

Have a nice day!

Random/Testimony: I panicked and He provides

Happy Malaysia Day!!

Today has been an incredible journey. It doesn't seem like a big deal but it is to me.

I had a jamming session with my friends from Kuching. Lovely twin sisters from Acts Church. They were staying at USJ 10, Taipan and I got there by taxi.
So after jamming and stuff I decided to head back, because I wanted to have dinner near my area(I had the craving for a certain food). Anyways, I couldn't get a taxi. I walked almost one round around their area and still couldn't get a taxi. It was stupid of me to go back at that time seeing it was the time where it would be traffic jams, plus, it was raining. I told my friends that I would call them to call for a taxi if I couldn't get one. So after like 10 minutes of not seeing a single taxi, I called my friend to help me get a taxi. You may think that I've given up looking for a taxi that easily, but that place it's like empty and there are only a few cars driving by. So my friend called back and they said not a single taxi will come at this hour due to traffic jam and I would have to wait longer. They suggested taking the bus but I wasn't sure of the area. Then I asked if they could send me to the nearest mall or something but they couldn't at the moment because they were having dinner with relatives from back home. While, I was on the phone with my friend, and while she was thinking of ways to get me home, I saw a taxi passed by. I was like Thank God there is a taxi!

However, I couldn't get hold of the taxi seeing how I was inside and the taxi was on the main road. Even if I ran, I couldn't get hold of the taxi. So, I decided to walk to the main street but I ended up walking to the pathway near the shops. About four taxis passed by the main road and I was waving at them but they don't seem to see me. So feeling frustrated, I decided to walk out to the main street and one taxi passed by again. I was like panicking already. I nearly tried to call some of my friends from CF but then I started praying.

I asked God to send me someone nice enough to help me or a taxi driver who drive by this path. I was really really panicking already. So I stood there, at a T-Junction out on the main road. Just when I decide to stand there, no freaking taxi would passed by. I was like surrendering to God and trusting that He will send someone. Then I got this voice in my head saying "Walk further up front...". I was like NO! I have to stay here and try catch a cab. After seeing a few taxis passed by at the far end of the road, I gave in to the voice inside my head and walked.

A couple of minutes later I reached the nearest traffic light and there it was, A TAXI!!! He was about to turn the other way but I caught his eye. He wasn't willing to take me due to the traffic jam but end up he did. So I reached home safe and sound and I was able to eat what I was craving for. XD Plus, the taxi driver was a friendly driver and he doesn't drive the way most taxi drivers do. So, Praise the Lord for a good driver!

So I guess what I'm trying to say is, When facing difficulties, seek God. Ask and you shall be given. Trust in the Lord. He will provide.
God is good!!
So yeah, this is my testimony.

Have a nice day!

MLM: I got a job offer!/ Confirmation

It's a part time gig at a 7eleven store...
So here's how I so-called "got" it...
Part 1.
I was at the 7eleven store near the church to get a drink. (I usually go get a drink if I feel that I come early for Youth or Sunday Service). Somehow I just happen to look at the magazine section. Normally I would ignore and just have a quick look at that section but today somehow I decided to "stare" at it a little longer. So, I look, and walking towards the drink area and my head just right a bit and there is was, a Gempak comic book stand. I told myself that I was going to stop buying those comic books for the time being because I spent too much on magazines and comic books for the past few months already. It was also because Gempak hasn't produced stories or anime that interested me or capture my eyes but somehow there is this one particular comic book that caught my eye. Love the character drawings(but it has a lame story/joke).
Part 2.
I decided to buy that book, grab a drink and head to the counter. Just so happen that the lady boss was there(well, at least I think she's the boss). Her employee was at the cashier and he was like, Eh, this girl bought this book le.(at least that's what I think he said, I had my earphones on and he kinda nudged her and she came immediately when I wanted to put my wallet into my bag).
She said some things in Cantonese, I was like no no no(cause that's what I do when people talk to me and I didn't hear what the person is saying and feel to bad to ask what the heck the person is saying).
That kind of method doesn't really work. So I asked what she said. Then she say it in Cantonese again, I was still no no no, method not working again. She looked like she wanted a clearer answer so I finally said that I'm sorry I couldn't understand her in English. She asked me what language is this comic book or what language you study, honestly, I wasn't sure what she asked me cause I had my earphones on. All I know is that she asked me and point at the comic book at the same time. I answered BM, even thought I didn't know what the heck she asked.
Part 3.
Then I finally took of my earphones cause she asked the same question twice and I answered the same answer twice and she look like she wasn't sure of my answer.
So, with no music in the way, I heard it right, she asked me what am I doing in this area and after that, whether I want a job. A part-time job. I told her I can't seeing how I don't live near there and it's not convenient for me to go there. Plus, it's a morning shift. I have class from 9-11am everyday, how can I work? I told her that I don't live nearby so I can't work there.
The lady asked me if I had any friends who stay nearby. I said, I have a few.
So, anyone near Cheras area or near Cheras Pantai Hospital who is interested, please go to the 7eleven store and ask for the job.
It's a morning shift.

I think this thing happen because of God. It was just yesterday when I thought about getting a part-time job seeing how my classes are from 9-11am for four days. A friend suggested it to me before but I didn't want it then. I wanted to get a part-time job before I started college because I want the experience and extra money(so I won't feel bad about buying unnecessary things with my mother's money) but I end up deciding not to get a job because Semester 1's schedule was packed and my weekends are reserved for youth and Sunday Service but then my Semester 2's schedule is so free, sure I may be busy in the future, but I need the experience too, and what better time to do it then in the future when Semester 3 or 4 might be more hectic and busy?
It can't be just so happen that I came early to youth(cause I did estimated my time and still ended up coming early). It can't be just so happen that I have a craving for sweet drinks. It can't be just so happen that I decided to look at that section for so long. It can't be just so happen that I saw something that caught my eye and to buy it. It can't be just so happen that the lady boss was there at that time.
So yeah, things happen for a reason and I think God just gave me the confirmation that I can go get a part-time job. It may not be this one, but there are some vacancies near my area. I didn't pray about this but I thought about it for a long time and it seems like a matter that matters a lot. Sometimes God gave me things that I think about hard or long without me even praying about it. So yeah, Thank you God for the confirmation.
Oh ya, had an awesome time at youth today and I feel like today's message meant something to me(a bit), even thought I wasn't quite paying attention(sorry Susana :DDD).

Have a nice day!
