Tons of memo bein' recalled! ;)

18!!!
I love this no. a lot. It's not just by accident but whenever I notice, most of my unforgettable days and things were happened on this day.

I might not remember all of them but, in this 2011, a new chapter of my life has begun! I arrived to a place which I had never been before to join a christian org. on March 18. From that day on, I'm having a life that I've longed for: serving the Lord through working with the children, working for the person I admire, care and love with all my heart.

My birthday fell on May 18, which was Wednesday for this year. So, it was just a normal working day and as I was still new to my environment, people here didn't really know my birthday (except my director and F. manager who is on my FB already) and I also didn't want to let them know. But, my dear ones and who are on my FB, they knew it. So, it was like I was in different territory with them but they wished me through FB, emails and we celebrated the VIRTUAL birthday in my private world. At that time, I was just satisfied with what I could have but I still missed the time being with my dear ones and esp. the birthday cake for me. I thought I won't be able to have my birthday cake for this year. Surprisingly, you know what? In the evening, when I finished my work, I went downstairs, lied on the couch and fell asleep. R. came and woke me up and said, "Do you want to pass your birthday just by sleeping, dear?". I was so... speechless and overwhelmed with joy. After that, she asked me to change my clothes and brought me to the Central Festival. There, we had a wonderful dinner, followed by a CHEESE CAKE, my most favorite.

Thank you, Lord. It's such a blessing which I even didn't imagine. Moreover, what a coincidence is that while we were having our dinner at Black Canyon and she was asking about my someone special, I got a phone call from him and I choked. yahooo~ they all made my big day!

In addition, I received my work permit book exactly on that day. It was also an incredible present from ACF.

June 18... it has been literally 3 months that I'm on this island, I am pretty sure of what I was doing here and what I'm gonna do next. I could decide for my life though I felt bad for my family of not being a dutiful daughter because of my decision. It's damn true that serving the Lord is not a bed of roses, but full of challenges, sacrifices and tough.

And, R., two couches and ten Rugby boys left to Manchester today. There were lots of difficulties in preparations for this trip, but finally, we could make it just by God's grace. I saw R. had been stressed and struggled by all these trials in these past few weeks and so, I always have been trying to find a way to give her a hand. I couldn't have much access for a project she assigned to me, yet, I handed the video clip which she asked me to do just this morning before she left to England. I was so pleased to see her happy and it's worth to put all my time and effort. At least, she can do something better with what I gave.

At last, Kids Club kick-off!
