farewell & goodbye...

I can't thank God enough for dragging me to this little island 3 years ago, assuring me that He'd be with me each step of the way - Through It All. It is here that I learned...
God's love is the reason I am ALIVE;
God's grace makes up for all I am not;
God's faithfulness never fails;
God's awesomeness captivates my heart to worship;
God's promises are my keys to victory;
God's sovereignty establishes the work of my hands;
oh... and so much more than I can say.

Take God away from these 3 years and it would have been a total waste of my time.

God knows that I love the play of words. He sealed these 3 lines of divine wisdom in my heart for my time in Penang:
Be still and know that I am God
Be still and stop trying to be God
Be still and let Me be God

It has been a sad week. So many goodbyes... so many last moments. Who would've thought that I'd ever leave Penang kicking and screaming? Surely not me.

Though my heart aches and tears flow everytime I think of crossing Penang bridge tomorrow... I really am bursting with joy and thankfulness for all that He has done (and will do) for me, in me and through me.


Yo dudes and dudettes on da island... Chrisso is outta here! But I'll be back!!!

And here I come... Ipoh mali... Ipoh, Ipoh mali! (check out the new Too Phat song)

goodbye... Passion style

I love my cell group - Passion. The name Passion describes them so accurately. Indeed they are SO Passionate about saying goodbye to me in the most memorable way. Haha! I've got to give them A+++ for love, ingenuity and effort.

Yup, it was a great night of fantastic food barbecued with generous portions of tender loving care. Fantastic! You guys are da BOMB!

But what's a farewell without a couple of pranks? Here are snippets of their fun.


AARGHHH!!! Sausages stuffed with wasabi and belachan... whoah mama... nasty stuff!!!

I know I have hairy legs but... come on!!! Waxing them with tape?!?! Is mercy one of the fruits of the Spirit? God should add it in there...

Hah! Their mega water balloon trick was foiled! The balloon burst and well it made a pretty cool new head gear. You know what's in next season =)

They may have missed the chance to get me into the pool voluntarily... but look at them ganging up on me!!! Look at all the big burly men surrounding this poor damsel in distress just waiting to dump her into the pool!!! Which they did... of course.

Hmmm... strange... I added in pics of them singing their own rendition of Stevie Wonder's That's What Friends Are For and their pressie to me. But it didn't load. Anyway... thanks guys... so much! I paid for the nasty sausages the next morning but no doubt... my heart was touched that night. I love y'all so much and I'm gonna miss all you Passionate Ones!

doll maker

Hey guys... check out my cool hand-made doll from super talented Yin Yin! Yup... it's a little farewell gift from her. The side you're seeing is the scary me... i guess it was her first impression of me (note I said 'was'). But the other side is a real sweetie... so, I guess that's the real me =)

I promised that I'd do a little promo for her here on my blog so... if you wanna check out more of her unique hand-made dolls... go check out her blog at wretch.cc/blog/clockscient

Yup, each doll is unique and one of a kind... you'll never find another like it anywhere in the world.

Hellos peoples!

Yes, I haven't been updating my blog. That's because I'm busy packing. As you can see the pictures of my room below... it's a total mess and it needs to be cleared ASAP! Yups, so please do bear with the lack of new postings until I sort out my stuff.



See that little empty space in the middle of the chaos? That's where I park myself to sort out all the stuff.

It's my final week here in Penang, so yeah, there have been lotsa goodbyes, hugs and tears. I've got a couple of cool stuff to post - like my farewell by my dearly beloved cell, my personalised hand made doll from Yin Yin and so many more. I'll try to post them up by this weekend, once I get the mess into their respective boxes.

Oh ya, the month of May will be a bit sparse because I don't have internet connection back in KL and then I'll also be travelling to Singapore to visit my sis. So, yeah... I'll try my very best to blog.
