Soon, and very soon.

St David's 2 Shopping Centre, Cardiff

HoHO.

My term is ending this week! 

and I have no more tutorials for the year. :D

Sometimes, I still find it hard to believe that

I'm in my final year of law.

Time just seems to fly so fast. (i've said this so many times)

It felt like it wasn't so long ago that I was 

trying to decide which degree to choose. 

And now here I am, midway through my final year.

We only have one life and one time to do it right.

We have no extra minutes or replays.

And I want to give my best and enjoy every 

moment that passes me by.

So during this last 3 weeks of 2009, 

I hope you make the most of your time by

loving, sharing & giving because you can :)

I'm looking forward to the holidays and Christmas!

I will be with one I love

With unveiled face I'll see Him

There my soul will be satisfied

Soon and very soon

P/s : If only you knew :)

Rainy Days & Mondays

They always get me down. 

:(

Where are you Mr Sun,

when I need you most?

Please please, come out soon.

Sometimes, I really don't know what I should

do or say or even how I should feel.

What can I say? 

What can I do?

But offer this heart, O God

Completely to you.

Once was Lost, Now am Found.

You never knew what you've had until it's lost

Today evening, I received a message from a person whom I 

do not know asking me if I have lost my thumbdrive.

I vaguely remembered that I have used it on Monday and

was quite sure I did not left it in the library or anywhere else.

But still I started to search for it in my room and realised 

my little tiny adorable ginger bread man thumbdrive 

was no where to be found.

Oddly enough, I didn't even knew where or when I lost it.

I guessed it might have fell out of my bag when I took my keys out.

After contacting the Mr Nice and thanked him a million times,

I got my thumbdrive back! :D

I still can't believe that it got found and that someone would

take the trouble to hunt down its owner.

Thinking back, it could have dropped anywhere and 

all my songs, pictures and documents could have been lost,

just like that.

You could say 'I'm lucky' but I wouldn't exactly agree. 

I think I'm just blessed to have it back again!

Now, I understand how the shepherd felt when he had

found his one lost tiny sheep. :)

Thank you, God for sending such a nice person to make my day !

:D

Mr Sunshine, where are you?

I don't mean to complain but 

have I mentioned that it rains here on 

monday, tuesday, wednesday, 

thursday, friday, saturday & sunday.

Yes, I meant to say everyday.

But today,

Mr Sun was out smiling at me!

And I smiled back, of course.

:)

P/s : Life is full of surprises or so I was told. I'm excited! 

Have a great weekend!

There But For The Grace Of God, Go I

Kensington Park, London.

November, November.

what a month it was! :)

Lovely in every way and to end it with a visit to Hertfordshire and London was just amazing in every sense. This month has definitely been alot easier than the previous month. I can finally say I feel settled and have even found comfort in my little room in Aberconway. 

I am continually amaze by the company I have found here in Cardiff. It is encouraging and it reminds me that even when I feel alone, He shows me He is there through the people He place in my life. Looking back at my previous posts, I realised I have been writing alot about God lately. I guess I could say I have other interesting experiences that I could write about but really nothing seems to amaze me more than His grace for me everyday. 

It's because I know without Him I know I could never sit here in my chair and smile thinking about the days that has passed me by with contentment and a heart filled with joy. Sometimes I do feel so down and broken or downright lost, but time and time again no one else comes to pick me up the way He does.

It is so true,

There But For The Grace Of God, Go I 

:)

note : I will write about my trip to Bristol and Hertfordshire & London soon. London was amazing! Maybe it wasn't the place but the 3 people I went with. :D

Goodbye, November!

Saturday's Colours

Bridgend Designer Outlet

My umbrella broke today :( 

The weather (or rather the wind) really got me this time!

Despite the rain pouring on my head, 

my moods were too high up to get affected.

ah, how I love my Saturday outings and 

I look forward to them every week.

It's so nice to just get out from the normal routine and 

just relax and have fun with friends. 

To forget for just for a little while all the assignments 

and readings and chores waiting for me back in Cardiff.

And to also celebrate all the work done in one

short busy week.

It's a good day to just take a deep breath 

from all that is happening and say 

'God, I appreciate the fact that you have 

gave me a life to enjoy.'

Look up into the Heavens!

When I look at the skies above;

I see the height of His love and plans for me.

Many, O LORD my God, 

are the wonders you have done.

The things you planned for us 

no one can recount to you; 

were I to speak and tell of them, 

they would be too many to declare.

~ psalm 40 : 5

 

Thank you for beautiful days, O God.

:)

You Come To Me

Your steadfast love extends to the heavens

Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds

Your righteousness is like majestic mountains

And your wisdom like the depths of the sea

And you come to me

Filling my heat with your loving kindness

I find my peace in the shadow of your wings

I eat my fill from the abundance of your household

And I drink from the streams of rejoicing

You are my king

Looking back to all that has happened during the past month,

I can't help but smile and be thankful.

I won't deny it, being away really wasn't easy for me.

There was so many things going on around me but none seem 

to be able to distract me from the fact that I am far far away.

Yes, I miss my home dearly. 

I know I do because He has blessed me with so much.

But as I wake up each new morning,

I see the beauty that He has placed around me.

The falling leaves, the pretty blue sky and smiling faces 

all telling me the same thing.

He is here with me.

and He is there with you also :)

A heart which was once empty has now

been filled with contentment by Him.

Cardiff Bay

Last Friday, my friends and I decided to head down to Cardiff Bay for a look and I had a really good time. We had buffet lunch at Cosmo to satisfy our chinese cravings and then walked around for the whole day till it started to drizzle. 

It was definitely one of my better days in Cardiff. :) 

Some of the pictures taken by me and my friends :

To the Penguin Boy

Happy Birthday to you, Philip! :) 

I shall not say much cause I've said them already.

Just remember that God has great things in store for you!

To Know The Love That Saves

Dear Neckrest,

So, Here we are.

In the autumn on the ground, 

between the traffic and the ordinary sounds

I am thinking signs and seasons while a north wind blows through

I watch as lovers pass me by

Walking stories

 whos and hows and whys

Musing lazily on love

Pondering you

I'll give it time, give it space and be still for a spell

When it's time to walk that way we wanna walk it well

I'll be waiting for you

I'll be holding back the darkest night

Love is waiting til we're ready, til it's right

Love is waiting

~Brooke Fraser, Love is waiting

p/s : Thank you for the memories and for everything else :)

I guess it is no big celebration but it is a reminder

of God's grace and faithfulness in our lives.

The past twelve months has been an amazing journey 

and I am looking forward to what is ahead!

With much love,

Vic Kie

When It All Falls Apart

Where do you turn to ?

Where can you turn to ?

Lord, please fill me once more.

Matthew 5 : 6

You are the Answer

There is nothing like your love

No exchange for all you gave

To be welcomed into life 

So I can know the love that saves

Awesome peach cake baked in my flat!

My flatmates and I

It's been a tough week so far as I have been very very busy. There are a few things that I have to settle like my fees, buying my textbooks, getting my assignment done and the list goes on. It was not so much about the fact that I was busy that bothered me, rather I fell into the pit of worry. I admit that I was worrying about mistakes that I cannot instantly fix and in return caused me to be even more careless. 

I worried when I should have trust. I had lost my focus.

And yet through all the mistakes and worry, someone was just waiting there to get me out of all the mess. All I had to do was ask. Despite the fact that it has been a difficult week, God has been showing me more evidently that He is real and that He will lead me to the right path. There is an easier way than the road of worry and the answer is simply, Jesus. 

Looking back to what has happened throughout the week, I thank God for His grace and strength to get through the week of hectic schedule, for the people He has brought along my path to encourage me to persevere and for reminding me of how much He loves me and also, you. 

I'm getting a 3 day weekend break as I will be going down to Gloucester tomorrow morning until Sunday! :D 

I hope that you too will have a great weekend!

P/s : I  really miss my Xabi boy and everybody back home .

Hello from Cardiff

Hello, hello :)

I know that this is such a delayed post since I have already arrived here for almost 2 weeks! Classes has in fact already started and I have even handed in my first assignment. Oh yeah, the picture above is actually the main building of Cardiff University. I find it very beautiful. Sadly, the Cardiff Law Building isn't half as nice. heh.

So, how am I finding Cardiff so far?

If i were to answer great, I would be lying. Having said that, Cardiff is a really nice city and I am having the time of my life here. I guess it is just that anywhere far from home just wouldn't be as great. It's because I miss home, I miss my family & friends, my Xabi, my room and also FOOD. One of the things that I had to swiftly learn here is to cook! I have more pictures of food in my camera rather than sceneries. haha. 

Other than being home sick and food sick, everything else is fine and pleasant. Im still getting used to classes, my accommodation and how things work here and I'm very glad to say that I think everything is going on better than I thought it would be. I don't find Cardiff to be so great now but I know I will grow to like this place more and more each day because everyday I am making new memories, learning new things and experiencing life like I will never ever do in another time of my life. One thing that I'm sure is that God is here with me and that He is good.

 Because He is the only one that gets me through each day with a smile!
