Escape!!!

*Yays*. I went to Escape. *pat myself*. It is a theme park consist of monkey business with three levels of adventurous obstacles that you have to overcome and many more other activities. Monkey business ranged from the easiest (Level 1) to the most diffcult (Level 3). So, it was a sunny Friday morning that I've decided to go with my chemistry friends, right after coming back from graduating Langkawi trip with Steph and Aud.

And so, I am writing not to brag about how well I did with Escape, about how brave was I..how it was so enjoyable accomplishing all three levels.I am here to to tell you I was really scared overcoming those obstacles even though I know I was protected by the chain-like used for flying
fox.

The protection chain.

Especially during the first level. It is like I couldn't trust the capability of the protection, how it will always catches me even if i fall. So I was struggling believing how safe I was, at first level. I think in life, sometimes even though we know God is there to protect us , to bring us through it , we struggle believing that He will. Life with God in Christianity is not one way relationship. You have the privilege to say 'Yes' or ' No'. As much as God is always there to give us His best, are u willing to just trust in Him, with faith to just GO for it?

When I was up there wanting to jump down, I was shouting inside my heart ' God help me, please God.' When I finished it, I was like, 'Yays, that was not as hard as I thought'. It's so true especially when we face with obstacles in life itself..sometimes all it takes it just a decision to just go for it, listen to what God says. He said He will be with you. So, just enjoy the ride.

I had the worst experience but the most worthwhile ones when I did the third level of monkey business. At first I was so pumped and I was quick to finish one of the third level. ( there are three routes in three levels). I didn't even rest and I headed for the MOST DIFFICULT monkey business. and guess what, I was STUCK twice. I guess I should have rest at first. But I was so excited that I forgot 'rest'. Rest and reflect in life is important as well. When God created the world, the seventh day was for rest. So, I think I have to learn to rest in life and not so much of being so excited to do works for God and forgot to spend time with Him.

When I was stuck twice, I was really tired. My physical body told me, 'You cannot do it, Fong Wan.' My brain tells me, 'You can. You are born to do this.' And I was really really really tired. Twice, I asked for RESCUE and twice I managed to get up just before they came to rescue me. At first, I told them..'No, don't rescue me. I wanna do this myself.' By as time goes by, I tend to give up more easily. It is true that in life as we walk for so long, we give up what we desire initially. We were not brave as how we used to be. Maybe because the journey of life itself is windy and long. Sometimes disappointments of getting up itself requires too much strength, and it is okay just to stay 'stuck' because it is easier that way. But you know you can get up, it is whether you want it or not. If God had prepared you for this challenge, believe me when I say, He will bring you out of it.

Spot me? Was sitting on the rope!

'Stuck'

The first 'stuck'

One more, friend's encouragements are stronger than you think. The way they gives you a thumb up when you finish the race, the way they say, 'You can do it! One more!' , how they scold you when you gives up half-way..I hope to be that friend for my friends. :)

Friends that encourage.

When I was hanging up there too, there was this UK little boy asked me ' Are you okay? Do you need help?' , I said, 'No, I am okay here.' .He responded, ' Do you know you will die if they don't rescue you?'. I said, ' Never mind. I have God.' . HAHAHA. What a respond?'

So, that was some bit of lessons I learned from Escape Theme Park. Good experience. Good companion. Safe and sound. Reminded me so much of God, which I didn't know why. Gonna apply this in my life,

'Never mind, I have God'. :)

Hello there!!*warm hugs*.It have been a long time since I updated this blog of mine.Recently,I did not have the privileges to access to the internet.Therefore.I pen down my thoughts in papers most of the time.

After flying from USM, I was doing internship in a kindergarden nearby my house. I missed those kids. They were awesome. It is couple months now since I ended internship there. I don’t think they would remember me. I was paid RM300.00.Was a good pay for internship. I did not mind, actually.I just like having kids around me.(^^) Learnt lots when I was there. Kids are so innocent. They love unconditionally even if you are only their teacher. Stopped my internship on 1^st of July.*sayonara kids*

Started working as mooncake’s promoter on 7^th July at Aeon Jusco. It was a good-paid work, RM6/hour. Met lots of awesome people who ‘’sayang’’ me especially the elders. Was a good experience and time to make more friends. Met 3 USM-ers from Engineering Campus and Medical Campus.They even celebrated my a farewell gathering for me on my last day, 8th July.*touched*.Time was short there but it was an awesome time.Officially, I can utter those mooncakes’ flavours in Mandarin now.*proud*

The highlight of my holiday was the Vietnam trip on 10^th July. It was a brilliant-planned trip with Wengjen and his bestie, Jian Xian (whom I called ‘’Lim’’).My bad, for not remembering names easily. We went to Hanoi, Sa Pa and Halong Bay. The most anticipating part of the trip was the trekking to Sa Pa.I was having so much difficulties to trek there.*imma city-like person*.But It was a wonderful experience. It trained my perseverance. Seeing others especially the older people have the determinations to just climb; I was pushed to climb ups and downs of the mountains. Of course, the scenery there was a priceless one. You know like money-can’t-buy thingy. It was the same as this.

I am delighted that I went to Vietnam. To be a part of this blessed trip. To be able to see the other part of the world. To be able to travel. To be able to witness the differences in ethnicities and norms. God has had blessed my trip and my holidays. Time passes so quickly. It’s time to play music for Jazz Band!!It’s going to be a new semester. New friends.*I meant juniors*.And new challenges.*COME ON*

P.S: ‘’Life is not about falling but to learn and stand up after you fall.=) With God by you side, you can endure each fall and learn each lessons after you fall. To see the positivity in falling and not negativity. For life is about learning to admit your mistakes,learn and embrace it.’’
