i want to thank all those who still bother visiting my blog albeit my absence.
i'm very sorry...but i really dont have that blogging spirit anymore.
if one day, you come in and you realised that this blog has been made private, that's because i've decided to shut it down. i'm not going to delete it bcos i blogged so much about my australia trip back then, so it's memorabilia.
a lot has happened recently. uni has been really interesting. people are great. just log onto my facebook page. or write to me, and i'll tell you stuffs. ;)
i started this blog because i wanted to express my views on issues. but i simply dont have the time to do that anymore. and i've never been too fond of the idea of blogging about my personal life. i like things to be kept private and special. :)
but praise the Lord. i'm a very blessed person. and if you're wondering if i'm fine, i'm great!!!! i enjoy what i do, so going to uni is never a chore...at least for now.
thank you again, peeps! xoxo
p/s: i may change my minda bout blogging someday, but not anytime soon. lol

separation
licia HATES separation!
it's this time of the year where friends and relatives come back to msia to visit.
and i realised how much i hate being separated again. i think it's because i get very attached to people easily...and then when they leave, i'll get all torned.
Tuo Wu went back yesterday evening. and today i'd to say bye to Kenneth. last week, i'd to say bye to Kendrick. and next week, i'll have to say bye to both Chloe and Julie. and who knows, who's next?
leaving msia to further my education sounds very exciting to me. but the thought of leaving behind all that i ever owned, tears me apart. no worries, i'm not leaving anytime soon. but the time will come. and i know for sure, that as much as i'll like to leave this place now.....it would come to a time, when i'll be very reluctant to go. the thought of even staying away from home, even if it's only a 45-minute drive away scares me. and i'll like to do away with that as much as i can. besides God, my parents are my top priority. and my brother, haha, i always tell him that i look forward to him being as far away as he can from me, but i know i'll miss him a lot too. and what about G & T? no them, no inspiration. i sound pathetic, huh? yes, i'm proud to be my Daddy's and Mommy's girl. and yes, i admit that i'm veyr protected still and very sheltered. what's wrong with that? i know what it's like in reality...so i'm not being naive.
FAMILY...are my treasured possesions. :)
and i know this is very random, but i miss all the Kuans. i'm glad though, that more will be visiting soon, later this year. and early next year. i can't wait.
but there'll always be that dreadful separation. *sobs*

not to me, not to me
Not to us, O Lord, not to us
but to Your name be the glory,
because of Your love and faithfulness.
~Psalms 115:1~
Indeed, may all glory and honour be given to God.
the past 6 months has been a real ride for me, and it'd be a chapter of my life that i'll remember for the rest of my life. it's a very refreshing period for me, and it has certainly taught me many many things in life, some of which are most important.
yeah, the first couple of months may have been pretty much worry-free as i was away, holidaying and having the time of my life. however, when i got back, and the CNY celebrations were over, reality hit me. and i must say, it hit pretty hard. *oouch!*
i'll never have regrets. and i thank God for the many opportunities that He has blessed me with. to many out there, the past six months may have been a pure waste of time, but for me and to me, it helped me set my priorities right.
for the very first time in my life, i'd no idea whatsoever of where i'll be or what i'll be doing. i was initially very very very frustrated, especially so when everyone else's favourite question is "what are you doing now?" and "what are your plans?" but all these taught me one thing - TO TRUST IN THE LORD!
God is great, and He'll always be. His thoughts and ways are higher than mine. and He knows what's best for me. i may not understand why things have happened the way it has (not that i'm complaining) *winks* but i know, one day, when i look back, i will then understand why things have happened the way it did. and i know everything happens for a reason - for GOD's glory! and this has brought me a lot closer to my Creator! because i now learn to live each day as it comes, and to entrust everything to HIM. Lord, may Your will be done, and not mine! ~Amen~
and my dear patient readers, in case you were wondering...
i'll be starting in IMU in August and am really looking forward to it!
praise the Lord for all that You've done. and i thank Dad & Mom for this BIG opportunity! i'll never forget all that you've done for me!!!
love,
your sweetheart ( i meant, dad and mom) :p

wednesday has come and gone
only 3 words : PRAISE THE LORD!
no need to relocate anytime soon. and i can still enjoy the comfort of home!
it's so comforting to know. :)
as for malaysia, licia's got a big big announcement!!!!
LICIA HATES THE GOVERNMENT! MALAYSIA'S A BIG BIG JOKE. AND SHE'S IRRELEVANT!
i can still recall when msia send muzaphar shukor to ISS and i was always on the governement's side. and i became so patriotic. and when everyone else was criticising the leadership, i was standing by it will full support. i've now swung a total 180 degrees. yes, i have.
COMPUTER SCIENCE???!!! are you kidding me? is that even possible? it never occured to me that i could be insulted in such a manner. never. but i guess, God has a plan for me. and it's not to study in public universities. i prayed very specifically and trusted in God this time....and i know, for sure that He answered my prayed very clearly too.
WORDS OF ADVICE:
we may not understand why certain things/events happened the way it happens, at least not now, but if we learn to trust in God and to have faith in Him, claiming in His promise that "God never leaves us, nor forsake us"...we will see why He has allowed all these things to happen, and it's all for our own good. for "His ways are better than ours, and His thoughts higher than ours". and "in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who has been called according to His purposes". Amen!
please don't sympathize with me, unless you're thinking of joining me in ridiculing our government. okay, wait! i'm not suppose to do that. i need to learn to be submissive to the authorities. God, help me! give me grace!
signing out,
a very grateful Licia.
p/s: i love you! Pa and Mie, (i know you don't read this anymore), but i love love love you! thank you for everything!
p/s p/s (haha): dear readers, keep your questions to yourself for now. don't ask me what's the next step....i'll inform you in due time. God bless!

my absence
it's been almost a month since i last updated my blog.
a few friends have been nagging at me to update and "resuscitate" my blog again.
it's just that i don't have that sort of inspiration to blog anymore. i've lost that touch. i enjoy expressing my views...but sometimes, by the time i log onto blogspot, i don't feel like writing anymore.
it may come to a point where i decide to delete www.liciashtan.blogspot.com.
anyways, everywhere i go, people ask me the same question.
"so felicia, what are you doing now?"
"what course? which uni? when? where?"
and i know that people who constantly reads my blog, asks the same questions too.
i promise to answer those questions soon. but not now. because i don't have the answers yet.
"ask me no questions, i'll tell you no lies"
grrr... now i really feel like deleting this blog.
because like i mentioned before, i'm not the sort of blogger who blogs about his/her personal life. i only did that when i was in australia. and that's because i think blogging about it would be easier than writing to everyone personally.
but now that i'm back, i've resume to being my old self. many would disagree with me, and i don't mean to be offensive, but i don't exactly like publicising about my own private life. not that it's wrong or whatever, but sometimes, privacy is not such a bad thing.
i've been doing a lot of thinking recently. and i think i've come to accept and appreciate life more now, knowing that God is always there, and He'll guide and lead me. it's a very comforting thought to know that God never leaves me, never forsakes me, unlike people. i'm living each day with thankfulness and gratitude! and i want to continue living each day of my life for the glory of God! *i hope*
when life is so uncertain, and when you have no clues of where you'll be in a month's time, it's really comforting to know that God is always there. and He'll always be. :)
and now, licia's happy and thankful and grateful and blessed.
and she's excited to find out what's next.
