Was reading through many Psalms since end of last year. Realized something that I didn't really take note. Not all the Psalms is by David. I realized I did not dig deep enough in my 20 years in life... Some chapter in Psalms has different psalmist. I didn't know Moses wrote as well, it is something that I realized today when pondering Psalms 90. I didn't even know there is someone by the name of Ethan in the bible, good name for babies aye (winks), he is one of psalmist for psalms 89. Verse one was made into a song, I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; with my mouth will I make known; your faithfulness through all generation.
Felt very blessed after reading psalms 104. It is a timeline of almost everything that God did for His people from the torah. I'm heading out to meet up with a sister in christ now. It has been awhile since we last meet up =).
Feeling a little more fruitful this 2 days. =) Thanking God for directing my days.

Sold into Marriage by Sean Boyne
Just finished a book today, a real life story about a 16 year old marrying an old man 60 years of age. This incident took place in Ireland in the 1970s. Tragic how the father and husband treated her in torment. These stories make be feel very blessed to be in a generation or in the midst of people that still respects women, and women can voice up their own opinions more freely than those from the book.
Even the priest were wavered that cause the girl to give up faith instead of lean unto God. She couldn't trust people anymore after that incident. Father and husband was supposedly a protector treated her like a procession. She was terribly beating and ill treated by both her husband and father. Her mother could not do anything as she was also weak in her family and severely mistreated by her husband. Bruised all the time.Mentally and verbal abused as well. As I read along, I could feel the hatred and anguish that was within her, yet her hope to move on to survive was still there. To run away was her only hope that time.
Being caught in the middle of mix feelings when each terrible individual that made her life a misery, she did not receive any "sorry" from her dad. She did a lot of mistakes along the way though. I really do hope that she will come to know the Lord before she passed away. Such things happened to her, I salute that she was able to go through the hard knocks of life. I wouldn't be able to live up to that and I may had been killed along the way. In my mind right now is how could something so terrible happened to a young girl? sometimes things may look prestige on the outside as evil people wear a "good person" mask and walk around.

Chinese New Year 2016
I realized that I have "out grown" of going out with friends for the New Year. I seem to want to spend more time at home this year. Signs of growing up? After going for 1 session of visitation with a friend, I needed some time to recover from the visitation...it seem like it zaps away my energy. When I needed to go to another house for another visitation, I needed to pull myself to meet up, leaving my family at home. I'm so unlike yesteryear this year. Maybe growing up had made me feel more chores to work on at home and resting at home is like a bliss after doing house work and helping mum lessen her burden.
I felt that I have also outgrown angpows, I do not really think much about opening the packets. Maybe I just want to be thankful and be content about any amount given. They blessed me with finance, everything is from the Lord, I know. 7979, I will need to be giving them as it has been 1 year since I made the half year pledges. Pray that I will have sufficient this time for the Taiwan Earthquake for 7979.
Did not manage to meet up with groups of friends this year, unlike last year. 2 groups had asked me to go out on the same night. And a few friends had messaged me on 2 and 3rd day for reunion, but I couldn't make time for them this year. I thought 1 week is a good time for leisure for me, seems like my holiday plans did not run smoothly this year. Really wanted to make time to have reading therapy. I on't think money is the factor, it is just the energy being zap out very quickly, as I needed more me time this year.
Younger sister also crave to have a time together with me, I have lacked it for many months now. I know that , so i'm trying my best to make time alone for her. I guess I can't do it so often anymore aye? I can never have best of both worlds anymore.
This year too shalom is in his phase of sadness, peeing anywhere he likes. So our decision was to allow him to go out more often. Had a quite of an arguement, maybe I already do not know what to do, after giving so much adviced but not being followed. It certainly frustrates me.
Finally have the time to pen down my feelings this morning and had some bible reading about "Tamar" and also " Pophitar's wife". Later will need to make time for my cousins that will be coming down from KL for CNY visit, and I will need to entertain my cousin and her cute Ivan. =) Very excited to meet little Ivan again.
Back home to Lipis had gone a little more fun. Uncle from Sabah came back to Lipis for the 1st time for Chinese New Year. So as a gang of How's we went window shopping in pasar tani after our mamak food makan. More than 10 of us squeezed in gramps house. I felt warmed to be in this family. They chatted and chatted as me the younger ones stayed connected with the younger ones, having chatty conversations and also taking Albert ( my boyfie) into the topic. Secondary school Girls -.-, showed me Albert's pic on facebook. This is not new to me for my Sabah cousins that are young but such internet connected. Having to sleep with them during lipis trip had made me know that they felt more at home being with just me and desiree.
Shirley ask me to sit next to her and she did not want any other to sit next to her. lolz. (melts) . The year of monkey. I wonder where can I help her to find the monkey she want. The astro one. I saw it somewhere in popular but uncertain if they still have stock.
Can't wait to meet the boyfie on the 6th day of CNY. It has been awhile since we meet face to face. Felt a bit terrible of kinda "neglected" him for the Lunar Year. I will make up for it my love. muax. I guess having someone you Love, you need to make some sacrifice. ^^ thorned in between this CNY. Hope that as time goes we will be able to plan our time for each other better. =) We will work things out, I"m sure. We have came this far darling boyfie.
