Guilty

Didn't feel like blogging for sometime because I could not find anything blog worthy. However, when you are convicted of something its a crime not to share it.

The story begins last friday, with me forgetting to take my parking ticket after paying for it. mhmm..i can be really blur sometimes and so after i realized I forgot to take the ticket, I rushed back only to find the obvious, that it was gone. I was so depressed because I really didn't want to pay rm 20 for it lor..waste my money.haha..so i just kinda felt slightly down and all.
Then decided to go out for lunch with Huei Lin. After we got back from lunch, we walked towards the ticket booth again so that she can pay her ticket...and guess what............there was a paid ticket lying on the chair!!!Like it was waiting for me to take it!! I was sooo excited and happy!!I went home and dimissed it from my mind..i even went around telling people what a great testimony it was that I did not have to pay for my ticket...
hmmmm....
and this morning..for some apparent reason, i woke up with a guilt in my heart! It may have been 4 to 5 days since it happened but it somehow dawned on me that what I did was exactly what I did not want other people to do to me...argh....the bible verse 'do unto others what you want others to do unto you' instantly struck me and yes i feel horrible...............
I was so caught up with my own happiness that I totally disregarded the feeling of the person who lost it! I kept saying that there was nothing I could have done to pass the ticket back but I very well knew that I could have atleast have the decency to leave it there and not have anything to do with it or to pass it to the guard.sigh..my heart aches as i speak..no joke..

This is an example of Gods conviction at its best.
Im sorry, forgive me God and the ticket owner. =(

winter tales

Goodbye autumn, hello winter!
I'm wrestless when i'm asleep, trying to find the most comfortable warm area under my quilt but tend to still feel a little chilly.argh..so cold! I dont fancy blasting the heater throughout the night because it just makes the whole room so stuffy and unbreathable.Fussy pot much?lol...if only I could have that mucho manly guy from my dreams hold me to sleep and peck me on the forehead..HAAHHAHA..ok..that was meant to be a syok sendiri sentence where I would smile to myself and say ahhhhhhhhhhhh and mmmmmmmmmmmm...AHHAHA..for the rest of u, that sentence didn't appear on this page ok?hahahahaha..omgoodness..im talking nonsense..

RIGHT...moving on to more realistic things..
Exams are like in less than a week.and all I have been doing besides day dreaming is play online games like a freakazoid who failed her form 4 exams because of a game called gunbound.LOL!History shall not and will not repeat itself!
MUST FOCUS LA..but I need some motivation and discipline. Now..where do i find them?

And i just finished watching this korean series called Prosecutor princess. BEST I TELL YOU, BEST!
and now to wait for my final ep of Cinderella story to come out tonight.YAY!

OK..study study study!!!

P.S. sudah 2 tahun 1 bulan..cepatnya! <3

falling leaves

2010-05-27T08:13:00.007+08:00

falling leaves

The rays of the shining sun, coupled with a blue cloudless background makes the pretty shades of yellow and red hanging from the branches more beautiful than ever. The sound of the rustling fallen leaves that are pushed around by the wind serenades me each morning and i'd think to myself, yay to another blissful autumns day. =)

So it was my roommates birthday last Monday and we planned a few prebday celebrations for her. On sat, my uni friends and I brought her out to a park (the park was named Ardrie park btw.HAAHHA) for a simple starlight pizza dinner. It was freezing cold though..but we enjoyed ourselves nontheless.
On sunday, my roommate and I decided to dress up a little to spice up our mundane chillax australian life.hahaha..went to church before heading out to St Kilda where we had seafood for dinner with church friends at a cosy restaurant called 'seafood claypot' and ofcourse after stuffing ourselves, we urgent to the beach for digestion and photography purposes(pics in friends cam)haha..

At 12 am that night, they came over and sabotaged her by splashing water at her outside the house and forcing her to shove down ice cream after. hahahaha..

On another note,
Exams are in 2 weeks!!must focus and thennnnnn i'll be home in no time!YAY!! Cant wait to seee all my fav ppl! =D

now to cont watching my korean drama. hahahaha...

our parcel from F21!hahahaahhehehe..been shopping too much!im worried my luggage will exceed its limit.lolll

i never told you

Guess what!!???
I will be home in 57 days!!!omgoshhhhh..excites!!!but before I do...EXAMS!argh..hahaha..Must reallllly stop watching tv dramas mannn..LOL

Last sat, had steamboat at my place. We left the sliding doors wide open on purpose to enhance the already tasty pot of soup. Soup and whatever hot food really does taste better when eaten in the cold. LOL..so while we were freezing our butts off, we decided to play a boardgame. Cranium was its name.Me like! so we practically spent the rest of the night laughing our lungs out and screaming like we didn't have neighbours.Had alot of left over food and ate the nicest ice cream cake ever.Its my roommates bday this coming weekend!excited again!!going out for dinnner near the beach!yay!

Oh and on Sunday, I had snickers milkshake during lunch....im in love.Definitely going back for more. Also, had dinner at Dixynns house.homecooked food is theee best.

Oh and today, my roommate and I boiled ourselves some red bean tong sui and we even added in black sesame tong yuen for that extra bit of oomph.hahaha..yummers

all I can ever think about almost every minute of my day is food.I kid you not.

Now, what shall I eat tomorrow?hmmmmmmm.......

Ooohh...I showered with cold water today because for some unknown reason, there was no hot water.Omygosh....................as soon as i got out from the toilet, my skin hurt. Like the pre frost bite kinda pain. Pain whey!!It really felt as though I jumped into the atlantic ocean. OK, not that I know how that feels like but yea you get the idea. And then I felt so irritated at my fringe because of how straight it looks and so i trimmed it..I thought it kinda looked coconutish at first.not too even.HAHAAH..

Its so cold these days I just feel like wrapping myself up and don't even care if i look like a pao.arghh...my feet are shivering as I speak

Can't decide whether to watch Ipman or Ironman tomorrow..hmm..but I think I would most likely be rooting for Ipman.haha..I wish i was in Malaysia where watching movie was easy and relatively cheap. here so expensive laaaa...hahahaha..the amount of money i spend on watching 5 movies here is equivalent to 15 movies in malaysia lor!! (Normal price somemore!!! If with student ID its like 21 movies lor!!!) SUPER CALCULATIVE NOW.pfft

2010-04-26T19:10:00.003+08:00

like parachutes and air baloons

Greetings!!!hahaaha..

My weekend was fullfilling! Lets see...
On Saturday had awesome chinese buffet at this restaurant called china bar with my aunt and cousin...mannnnn do i miss asian food!! I basically jumped at everything i saw..from the bakuteh soup to the roti canai to the chicken rice to the dim sums to the char siew pao's to the roast duck to the porridge and etc...yummmay.........
then went to walk around a mall to digest my meal..lol..and headed over to this stadium near the city to watch an AFL ( Australian Football League)game. Its really popular here in Aus and is commonly known as footie. Its like a combination of rugby/wrestling/handball/football. Violent..LOL..but fun to watch anyhoo..
Half way through the game it started to rain and then the wind started swooshing quite so strongly! ahhh..i was freezing.LOL..so i snacked away on a piping hot pie with two scarfs wrapped around my neck, hoping that that would do the warming trick. Well it kinda did..ahaha...but the worst part was when we had to walk to the train station after the game and then walk home after taking the train..cold and tired I was.

Then on Sunday, went to church and then had shanghai dumplings for lunch..not too bad.then decided to walk around for abit in the city before going home..
btw, it was Anzac day yesterday, a day where they remember the soldiers who sacrificed and gave their lives for their country during the war. Lotsa retired soldiers were wearing their medals on their blazers..interesting to see and somehow very admirable.

And today I finished up my assignment which is only due this coming Wed!soo happy..so as a reward to ourselves, my roommate and I took the bus to Chadstone shopping mall for some chocolate shopping!wheee..bought baileys filled chocs.....nyam nyam

Just had corn for dinner and gonna get ready for bed now

HeEEHEEee

My first AFL game.

The rest of the pics will be up on facebook.haha..

p.s. 80 days to go! wheee how time flies!

2010-04-20T17:41:00.003+08:00

peace by piece

i need me some of these

woke up at 2 am this morning to study for my nutrition test

An eccentric boy came on the bus today. He wore tiny colourful boxers which accentuated his legs, wore huge white(if not mistaken) plastic framed glasses and had on a ginormous headset. He kinda gave me the borat mix hippy mix indie vibe.

Had an oral presentation in uni. It was by far my most horrific presentation ever ever. Embarrassed at myself I truly was and yes, I did hope that the floor would open and swallow me whole. I stood up there not knowing anything about my own topic, mumbled jargon and spoke jibberish. Every word and sentence was all over the place. Still in disbelief that I actually did that to myself. Never in my life will I ever let this happen again. argh.....

Had 3 hours of lab class after that and then had to go sit for my nutrition test. I couldn't answer half of my subjective questions and was yet again disappointed at myself. AHHHHHHHHHHH...horribleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Came home and had a bowl of milo cereal with milk

and now am about to take a long hot shower and then sleep my night away

What a long day it has been

Tomorrow, tomorrow I love you tomorrow, you're only a day away

deprived

2010-04-17T10:09:00.003+08:00

deprived

A large piece of sweet potato was not what I had in mind for lunch..i'm left unsatisfied and still absolutely hungry...
Havent done grocery shopping this week and therefore can't exactly cook anything for today.

I want to be able to go to a random coffee shop at anytime i want and order char kuey teow and munch on a stick of fried fishballs,
Or to just have a whiff of the aroma from a pot of boiling curry,
or head down to my favourite nasi lemak stall for that great big piece of perfectly fried chicken with a cold mug of 'kat chai shuin mui',
I want to gobble down Murni's claypot lou shi fun and have snowflakes for dessert,
Fish head noodles at DU, i miss you,
Mentari bubble tea, please wait for me,
I miss having that scrumptious sweet and sour fried fish, that awesome lala meehoon and fatty crab's aromatic fried rice and chicken wings,
The best dumplings in the world are +/- 12513km away from me,
ARgHHHHhh.....................................................................

i'm salivating as I speak

89 days to go..

Help me God

All i think about are the days left till i get home. I have no idea why im feeling homesick again these days. I wish I could hop on the next plane and swoosh home or probably hope that someone has a teleporting machine for me to use. Emo emo emo..

Im having 3 mid sem tests this week and next and im not even ready for it. My assignments are half done and im seriously not in the mood to do any of my uni work.
3 months seem like forever....whyyyy?!!?

earth hour 2010

last two weeks of honeymooning for me..will be bombarded with assignments and mid sem exams after my Easter break.sigh...

Watched the movie blind side on Friday with a few of my secondary school friends and found it really moving. I like movies which are based on a true story.

On Saturday, went to a suburb for chicken rice that tasted 99% like the ones we can get back home and then grocery shopped for ingredients for our earth hour candlelight dinner that night. Since my friend's house is located in the city next to this busy street of restaurants, we decided to go out for a walk to get some ice cream for dessert while waiting for the dishes to cook! The street was packed with lots of ferrari supporters (F1 is here in Melb.LOL)and ferrari flags were seen hung almost everywhere. Oh yes, saw a few ferrari cars too..hahahaha

Got home bout 10 minutes before 8.30 pm and starting lighting up candles! Offed the lights and ate dinner in partial darkness.hahaha..in Malaysia last year I canot tahan and went out for a walk because its so hot in the house but I have nothing to complain about here..infact I was pretty cold! Jealous yet my fellow darlings back home in Msia?HAHAHaAH

And this morning, Dixynn and Nick picked me up and we headed down to williamstown to have fresh osyters that were just brought in from sea for breakfast. SOoooo soooo goooood and soooo soooo fresh!!! Cant wait to go back there again to buy atleast 2 kg of mussels to bring home to cook!LOL!mmmmmm..excited!!!
went to planet shakers after that for the 11 am service and am reminded to give praise to Him in good times and in bad times. Am still thankful for everything that God has done in and through my life! Wheee..
Then my roommate and I went over to this small but always packed japanese cafe for our dons and then to Chadstone for some shopping!
ended the evening with a cup of all berry bang boost juice. How satisfying.

will leave you with a few pics!

my roommate!

candlelight i like!

Hellooo autumn

2010-02-28T11:35:00.002+08:00

Hellooo autumn

Its the last day of February, the last day of Chinese new year and the last day of summer!!

Tomoro Autumn and a new semester of uni begins!

God has been so wonderful and is always such a loving and caring God!
I have been having some difficulties in finding a place to live in and was starting to panic when I was reminded that I just needed to believe and trust that everything will be ok because I have God on my side. I said a little prayer and continued searching and in his perfect timing, I have now found a place to stay and will be moving in tonight. The best part is that it is walking distance to Monash Caulfield campus which provides a free shuttle service to Monash Clayton and therefore wont have to spend money on weekdays for transportation! wheee... ALL GLORY TO GOD!!
and another thing to be really thankful for is that Huei Lin will be joining us here in Australia! YAY!! Thank you God!

will update soon with pictures of my time spent here the past week! I am beginning to love Melb. =)

finally at Canaan

2010-01-18T00:23:00.007+08:00

finally at Canaan

I am dedicating part of this post to my Lord and Saviour whom I love so very much.

Here's my story

From tragedy to testimony
Born to an average family, I mostly got anything I wanted as a child. Basically quite pampered by my dad and had an awesome childhood la..hahaha! In 1997, the economic downfall turned everything upside down and we lost most of our money and possesions. My dad didn't have a job. We were facing an unmovable gigantic mountain and there was nothing we could do except trust in Him and therefore put our hope in Jesus. Learning how to fully depend on Him was more than challenging because people around us felt that we were foolish and unrealistic. But we pressed on anyway and experienced so many miracles, both big and small along the way. He ensured that we had everything that we needed and at times blessed us with things we wanted. In the bible, He promised those of His people who are faithful and obedient to Him that they will lack nothing and He really keeps his promises! He made sure we had food to eat, clothes to wear, a place to stay and even a car to travel around with. We were confident in our God and knew that we were not alone.

After 14 years of being in a so called wilderness, we are now slowly but surely entering the promise land. I can proudly say that God is truly good all the time and he certainly keeps His promises and makes all things new in His time. He grants all the desires of our heart, of course within His limits and boudaries la.haha..I am forever grateful and cannot even start to thank Him enough for all that He has done for my family and I.
Nothing can actually describe the depth of my appreciation towards my Father God. I am awed by his wondrous works and amazing heart. He really makes all things possible and is always there for us! Though our problems may seem too difficult for us to handle, I know I have my God to count on to help me handle them! whee....

I believe this is the year of restoration and victory for all who are faithful and obedient to Him!Hang in there!Praise the Lord! All glory belongs to Him! Amen

All in all, what we went through was truly a humbling experience, a lesson and something that I will never forget. I'm thankful that it happened. His plans are always higher than ours and he definitely turns tragedies into testimonies if we are obedient and allow Him to work His wonders!

Ok...back to ordinary posts.hahaha

Just the other day, went to Ampang for dinner at this fish and vege farm.
The food = very tasty and reasonable
The fish was so fresh and the sos they made to go with it complemented it well. I could eat one 1kg fish all on my own lor.If only they allowed me.

Thai style dishes

Since the restaurant is near lookout point, we went over for yumcha

I never knew he liked cats and never knew cats would like him.

1/4 of the people present

on the 10th went to watch Decimals perform. The dance group ECX got first placing while Decimals got 2nd placing. To me, they were both good but in a totally different category, like how could u possibly see whether a dancing group is better than a singing group?. In my opinion, they should have both won.

Nigel singing 'come home'

On sat went to BSC with my dear friends, Monica, Pek Ying, Ashley and Sing Yee for tea. Had Alexis' out of the world Tiramisu cake and an average tasting pavlova cake and ofcourse my favourite type of tea- chamomile!.

yum yum..

My favourite song in Standard 3. Used to sing it with my friend at the top of our lungs in the bus on the way home from school..so muka tembok..hahahaha..

I just found a whole bunch of pictures that i took using my phone in 2004 and 2005. Always feels good to find something old..hehehehe...
will probably post them up two by two whenever i feel like it.

This was taken when my red highlights were fading away

and this was when i joined gothic frizz for the battle of the dance competition at Ampang.

Ok let me move on to the other things..

Next........

Had dinner at tony roma's on a random night in Curve

I can't seem to stop myself from eating fries and burgers although I know it is unhealthy..too addictive

with my mummy at a korean restaurant at seksyen 14. We were eating for 3 people because greedy me wanted the kimchi soup.hahahaha..

and I have finally decided not to spend so much money on technology.
initially wanted the corby pro which will only be out in January but decided to just get this phone instead and I really like it! Not too complicated for a technology jakun person like me.

Christmas is approaching!

just a thought

2009-12-05T20:18:00.003+08:00

just a thought

I've never actually realized what kind of ministry I would like to do.
I thought of doing worship ministry but no doors are open yet,
I thought of doing Children's ministry but then after thinking of how you have to stop about a hundred kids from running around, screaming and crying and everything of that sort, I didn't quite think it was suitable for me,
However, I think I may actually really enjoy going into teen's ministry...
only because I can relate to a lot of things that they are going through as I have also been through,
and to also share to a certain level and have them understand and share with me in return.

I wonder whether or not this is what I should be doing..
but how and where?
will leave it up to You to lead me in Your perfect time.

and as much as I love hanging out with friends my age whom I miss extremely much, I think that younger friends are really interesting and fun to hang out with too. YAY! More friends!! =D
Lets just say, I miss being young and I will act young until I start working. So everybody, I am still 17 ok? mmhmm..HAHAHAHAH

BYEEEEE

on the 4th day of December

2009-12-05T15:26:00.006+08:00

Lets just hope I will do what I say which is to not skip classes so often for the rest of my uni life.. maybe only once or twice??LOL!!
Ok...........................................

Moving on to happier things,

Happy Birthday to my dearest Ivan Koh!!!!

Gave him a few options of very nice restaurants to choose from for dinner on the night before his birthday and him being the considerate and non fussy person decided to choose to eat at Chillis. Heeeheee...

To sacrifice for someone is to do or to give up something that is very important to you without taking into account the convenience and on top of that to be able to do it with a willing heart, a wide smile and with love.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:13-

porky the pig

Helllllooo, hellooo!

In chronological order....LOL..
Grocery shopping and eating healthy (for one day) with Xanne was fun,
Having dinner and dessert (our bday celebration.lol) with my best friend, Xue Ann of 21 years, who happens to be born on November 17th was memorable,
Playing ping pong with Ivan and later on with my DJ buddies (Keen, Whei Jin, Nickson, Jim and Heng Seng) whom I have not seen for a long long time and mamak-ing was fun,
Knowing that meteors are showering above the sky on your birthday is so romantic,
Waking up to the sound of your yapping boyfriend on the phone asking you to get ready was serenading,
Walking around aimlessly in K.L and shopping was a plus point,
Having yummmy scrumptious porky dinner at Elcerdo was lovely and fulfilling,
but spending time with your loved one makes it all complete,
Being surprised by a hyper bunch of people(Huei Lin, Emily, Zhen Yeu, Jeremy) whom i've grown to love over the past year was indescribable,
and thank you Adrian Goh and Chris for dinner at TGIF! =D
In short, I had a very productive and awesometastic week!

I simply love all my darling friends! thank you for all the wishes..you guys made it so special! hehe..

2009-10-28T16:13:00.005+08:00

rejuvenating

I have an exam on Friday and I just came back from doing some minor shopping.As usual, I acted on impulse and decided to release some stress and emoness and headed off to 1u. Cotton on is finally open..I love getting my stuff from there because its so comfy(the first thing i look for when i buy stuff, comfort..HEHE) and it is one of the cheapest in Aus.HAahha..And to my surprise, the stuff here is even cheaper!!!I went berserk trying on so many things..mmmm...
That was the only shop I visited though because I was feeling so guilty about not studying.Can't wait for after exams.......argh....
Wanted to detour to SS2 to get my tongsui..but it was raining quite heavily and is still raining so I got really lazy and tired..LoL

I know, i know..i like to talk alot of nonsense..LEAVE ME BE!

Ok Bye

stating a random point

2009-10-27T18:34:00.002+08:00

stating a random point

Jason Derulo's watcha say song is nice but he took the whole watcha say part from my favourite imogen heap song, hide and seek. Fine, they both have a different ring to it..but i still support the original emo version.

blah

2009-10-27T16:28:00.006+08:00

blah

argh...here is the best place to rant and complain about how much I feel like falling asleep reading biotech...its so long winded and repetitive but at the same time, confusing!! I wan't to go out for tong sui. Heard that theres this new dessert shop which opened on the same row as ktz in ss2 and is doing just as well as ktz. I wan't to eat! Studying makes my stomach go banana's!!hungry all the time and taking alot of eating breaks..maybe its my way of procrastinating.
and my left arm is aching so much right now due to an unplanned badminton session two days ago. I haven't exercised or played anything in like, forever!!!I can't put to much energy in writing because it hurts. Speaking of which, i need to buy new pens..haven't stationery shopped inawhile too and my pens are running low on ink.pfft...

and being a recently converted narcissist, how could I [possibly leave this part out.

good bye

exams exams exams here you come

2009-10-26T17:59:00.004+08:00

2009-10-21T21:40:00.004+08:00

reduce, re-use, recycle

after studying so much about the environment, I feel guilty having my aircond switched on. But I can't sleep with just the fan...the weather is so unbearably hot!!

On a very very random note,
sea otters lie on their backs in the water with their paws in the air because they do not have fur on their paws to keep them warm.so cute!!hahaha..

couldn't resist googling pictures of them.if only I could have one as a pet.

Got to continue studying now

Can't wait till the 10th of Nov..hurry hurryyyyyy

bulgogi freak

2009-10-17T14:19:00.008+08:00

bulgogi freak

So yesterday was rather productive. Not so much on the education side of things though.haha..
After our last boring Chemistry lecture, my uni friends and I dropped by at 1u for our yummy korean bbq buffet!!!! The kimchi soup was made tasty by our wonderful secret concoctions and everything else from the bulgogi beef to the tiniest prawn and clams were yummy and decently fresh..it was a very satisfying meal and the price was a steal. We spent about 3 hours eating without any room for toilet breaks and what not.

Ivan picked me up before dinner and then we headed out again for Kenny's birthday.
Lets just say, I''ve not been so keen on clubbing for quite awhile now...sober and well behaved I was...however, I still had lotsa fun the old fashion way, people watching and making new friends.. =) and Happy Birthday once again, Kenny Yew!!

This was only the first round..muahaha

I didn't exactly get any nice pictures of Kenny so this will have to do..haha

This was taken while people watching from the balcony..hahaha..

Aun Hoong and Victoria

The lala peace signs

On the way home, detoured to 7/11 for a hot cup of maggie mee to fill my grouchy stomach

Its napping time..good nite

then it's done

2009-10-15T13:44:00.005+08:00

then it's done

I think I have a seasonal preference for different genre of movies
Right now, I am in lotsa mood for korean drama. Been too long since i've watched like a mad person. Back in the day, I use to buy all the original VCD's lor...now, I just stream.HAHaha..Just watched Three Leaf Clover..mmm..the guy so yummy.=D

Right..
On Tues, instead of supposedly studying, we went fishing. Ok, they fished while i observed and then we had taro balls for dessert at snowflakes. I likeeee!!
Yesterday, my uni friends and I were having trouble deciding where to eat for lunch. We were thinking either Klang or Kuchai Lama. In the end, we headed to gohtong jaya for dim sum and then went to genting for ice cream and fresher air.
Had portobello mushroom burger at Carl's Jr for dinner with my sidekick aka Ivan. =)

One of our not so progressive study days in Monash library..haha

Ivan joined us for awhile

Charles and Huei Lin

A very rainy day

I never knew that taking pictures of ones' self can be that addictive.

2009-10-09T08:38:00.002+08:00

there's nothing I can't be

I'm in uni, in the library trying to get myself pumped up for the day ahead. study study!!!

Its still quite empty at this time and I'm waiting for my dear friends to arrive..lol.

Anyway,
last night I went out with a few of my friends to their new place of relaxation which they actually own. sooo best!!! Soooooo nice!!!
Its a rooftop area with lotsa plants and cozy tables and chairs and even a small comfy air conditioned room for karaoke..the view of the twin towers and the KL tower is also one of the plus points. So romanticcccc...I was so awed that I forgot to see if i could spot stars in the sky..
It felt as though I was in one of those chinese hong kong drama's where they have their bbq sessions on top of the roof..the place was like that, only nicer...
and the day before that, went dinner with another friend and had my favourite beer, hoegaarden at 'the library', Curve. also another nice place to sit and relax.ahhh...good times, good times..

ok got to get started now. don't wanna waste another good day..

My battle begins tomorrow, the battle to study.argh..I am totally clueless and know nothing about my subjects because yes, sadly I have been slacking more than ever!!Guilty once more =(
My first paper will be on the 30th of Oct and my final paper on the 10th, that gives me at least another 25 days to read up..I got to!sigh..

putting that aside, here's a little update of what I have been up to the past week..hah
my 1 week of holiday although spent most of the time at home was in its own way, fruitful.
If you didn't already know, I am a war movie fanatic,more so on the true story ones and I love reading history, not so much on the msian ones.mmhmm..and so i devoted my entire week, cooped up at home to rewatch movies such as pearl harbour, band of brothers, memphis belle, downfall, battle of the bulge and the list goes on.....interesting interesting..hahaha..

Ok fine, maybe I did go out for a day or two to eat and what not and have also been chomping down on lots and lots of lays (salt and vinegar..slurppppppp) and kinder bueno..lol..haven't you heard?being fat is the in thing...

and incase you were wondering what happened to my Penang trip..we called it off the last minute because of some complications...sad but true..but am definitely tripping during the year end holidays! me dont care!! muahahhaa..

p.s I wanna go watch russian ballet but they dont show them here..sob...its been so long time since i've seen girls in tutu's and guys in leotards swaying and dancing well manneredly and gently.I like.....

If im free tomorrow, will upload some pictures just for the sake of uploading them

good bye

We were all young again and having a sleepover in my old house and we even had a furball pet named CHO(which was the cutest thing ever), that we were throwing around. Sigh...
and then i woke up and it made me realize how much i actually miss you guys eventhough I hardly ever say it or show it or act it. You are all always in my heart.
I miss you xanne,singz, mich and leng. sob..

btw, the name CHO came from the bio tech essay I was writing before I went to sleep. It actually stands for Chinese Hamster Ovary cells. That just shows how much effort i put into that essay.hahaha...

And now I am seriously missing all my other friends too, I could cry...I tend to get emotional every once in awhile.lol..

Klar..back to keying in data and finding sources for my bio essay which is due next week( I HAVENT STARTED!!!!!) pffttttt.............................................

snapping out of self pity now.

I'm thrilled that the coming Monday is going to be a holiday!whee..a long weekend and no Chemistry lab = no lab reports!!

Lately, I have an obsession for all things purple.
I can never stick to one favourite colour.

Klar, i'm sleepy..so here are more field trip pictures for you to feast your eyes on, or not.

In the bus on the way back to Monash

Meet Natalie Vera Wong,who is soundly and genuinely asleep

Meet Huei Lin- shes always hyper

Bloom conference was fantastic! The food, the friends and most importantly the message, loved it!!

Then it was MTV world stage. It wasn't a planned thing because I hardly ever find myself attending such events.. However, my friend got us free tickets so just thought we would check it out. We were there early and so didn't need to queue to get in (thankfully)...and the best part was while we were heading towards the large crowd of people, the ticket man or guard or whoever he may be, asked us if we liked to party and then offered us tickets to the mosh pit..
Being blur people, we sorta declined the offer coz we were just..blur lor..

However, since he said 'wah wanna give you all things oso so hard', we took the tickets. When we discovered that we were so near the stage and how much less of a crowd there was in the mosh pit compared to the other places, we were so thankful we had taken them tix. =D

Left after pixie lott's performance because I was going on a movie date. Missed hoobastank and all american rejects' performance and although I do like their songs, I sure love spending time with my favourite monkey more.
so sacrificial hor?hahahaha..

Have i mentioned lately that I love eating passion fruit?? They are the tastiest fruits ever!
Besides being a bubble tea junkie(current fav flavour- ice blended sour sop!!!) and a lover of all things sour, I am now also an official passion fruit junkie.mmhmmm..

Right....,so now to more serious matters.
Uni is a bore and I have no idea why I'm still living my days as though I were on holiday. Argh..need to get myself together!

Will be attending Acts Church's Bloom conference tonight and I am really looking forward to it!whee..

And I will also be attending the MTV world stage concert tomorrow night!!yay..

My back is so sore due to continuous days and nights of hunching infront of the laptop. Right now, I would love a power packed massage.Oh the glory!

Gonna get myself a cup of air tebu and munch on a pineapple and while im at it, will probably add a lemon crisp biscuit just for kicks too. Wow..this post is going no where and filled with unecessary information. Oh well....

But before i go...........

I stand in awe of You

Since the first week of uni is going to be the most relaxed week of the entire semester and in conjunction with Charles' birthday this sunday, my uni friends and I spent yesterday lunching at sushi zenmai and then karaoke-ing for about 5 hours. Can't wait for our future trips to our planned destinations!haha..

On a different note,
My mum is back from Perth and she got me more than I asked for!! whee...clothes, ballet flats, stickers and chocolates! I feel truly blessed! =D

Below are pictures taken at the segi Revolution party at Segi Kota Damansara last Friday. (pictures taken from facebook and were taken by photographers of Acts Church (i think) )

Candid pictures with a DSLR looks so much nicer compared to candid pictures with a normal camera..argh..i want a DSLR!lol..

Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you =)

Bible verse of the day:

Philippians 4:6-7

vs 6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.

vs 7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

God is good all the time!

bible verse of the week:

Zephaniah 3: 17

All things are possible

I'm munching on my favourite salt and vinegar flavoured potato chips now.
Thinking whether or not i should go get myself the box of 48 colour pencils...why are they becoming more and more expensive? not worth the money whey! I wish I kept my previous colour pencils properly.hah..

I should probably be a good daughter and clean the house for my mum since she is at Perth.
hmm...

ok.. this is a pointless monday evening post.

Bible verse of the day :

Philippians 3:14
I press toward the goal for the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

morning dew

2009-07-09T21:49:00.007+08:00

morning dew

As we were heading towards the airport at 7 in the morning, all the trees beside the highway were blanketed with mist. It looked as though the clouds descended from the sky. So beautiful.

Praise God for a wonderful day.=D

bible verses for the day:

Galatians 5: 22-23
22
But the fruits of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23
gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Matthew 5:44
"But i say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

Romans 12: 15
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

It is hard to love our enemies or to bless those who curse us but when we ask the holy spirit to help us and give us the strength, we can. When we allow the holy spirit to be in control of our lives, He will take away the anger or hurt and replace them with the fruits of the spirit. As i begin to practice calling upon the holy spirit, I am amaze how fast my anger fades and I no longer wanna fight back or defend myself when I am opposed.haha.. Praise God! =D

Therefore it is important for us to get to know Him and build our relationship with Him so that we will be able to be sensitive to the holy spirit. Let us not just pray to Him when we are in need and then forget Him after he answers our prayers and call to Him again only when we are in trouble. Let us not take going to church as a duty because it really is not, but let us go to church because we hunger to hear from Him and to be in his presence to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Christianity is not just a religion and is not about who goes the earliest to church on Sundays, who prays the loudest or who sings the best. It is all about our relationship with Him to show Him how much we love Him and to honour and glorify Him in ALL that we do. When we love God so much we will naturally be excited to do all that He wants us to do and we will obey everything that the holy spirit tells us to do.
God looks at our hearts.

He truly is a great heavenly Father. The greatest Daddy in the universe!
Thank you Lord for being our Creator and for being our precious Saviour!

On an unrelated note,
I have been really happy for the past 1 and a half month ever since I made a stand and decided to rededicate my life back to the Lord and truly forsake my old ways and live life according to what He has planned for me.
Eversince that day, I have been experiencing so many changes in my life and life has never been so exciting and never been so so real!!
He truly is a great, amazing and an awesome God!!

bible verse for the day :

"My grace is suficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"

Yes!!!My last paper is on friday!! woohoo....

A day before my chemistry exam, I was feeling all stressed out and worried bout whats to come! All the tension suddenly piled up and I felt so low and defeated...

But i Praise God!! He truly is an awesome and powerful God!!! He made me remember a combo of bible verses.

The first is from Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding,
in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

followed by Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

and lastly Psalms 33:22
May your steadfast love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.

Thank you Holy Spirit for giving me the peace that surpasses all understanding!!thank you for everything! =D

truly, God really reminded me that he is in control of everything that happens in our lives be it good or bad!
we just need to have faith and trust Him with every bit of our heart and surrender every bit of our lives to Him!!
His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways higher than our ways..
Even when I am facing a vigorous storm, You will be the center of my life and I know you will help me pull through!

I'm so happy and I just can't get enough of this awesome Daddy in heaven!! =D
I LOVE YOU Father God!!!You are truly amazing and powerful!!

You are the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end!!

YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING! Thank you thank you!

I will praise You all the days of my life!

AMEN AND AMEN!!! =D

amazing love

I have been automatically waking up at exactly 6 am for the past few weeks.
I knew that there was a reason for me to be awaken at such an early hour, however I chose to sleep instead of listening to what my heart told me to do.

Today, I was again awaken at 6 am and although I am very tired, I pushed myself to do what I needed to do - pray.

and i never felt better. =)

its 7:45 am now and an old song came into mind and I just felt so reminded and touched and blessed..

Before the world began,
you were on His mind,
and every tear you cry, is precious in His eyes
because of His great love, He gave His only son
and everything was done so you would come.

Come to the Father,
though your gift is small,
broken hearts, broken lives,
He will take them all,
the power of the word,
the power of His blood,
and everything was done so you would come.

Nothing you can do,
could make Him love you more,
and nothing that you've done,
could make him close the door,
because of His great love,
He gave His only son,
and everything was done,
so you would come.

Let me just begin todays post with a frightful story.

I have been pretty absent minded these days and it sure got the best of me last Wednesday.

After throwing my chemical solution into the appropriate waste bottle, the right thing to do was to wash it with water. Right?
As soon as I poured water into the test tube, a small undissolved piece of sodium metal started fizzing vigorously. I was in shock and all that I could do was watch as the metal fizzed its way up to the surface of the water and caused a tiny explosion. A tiny flame of fire formed at the top of the tube and thankfully it faded after 5 seconds or so. I was so scared but yet thankful I didn't scream, throw or set myself or anyone else on fire.Thank God it was just a tiny piece of metal!! phew...

Never ever forget that Sodium metal is very very reactive in water. Even moist in the air causes it to react.

Oh, and I am still stuck with tons of reports to write!! I am really sick and tired of it!! REALLY!!gah..

over and out

ps. yes, we are cool. ;D

May the 4th

2009-05-04T21:32:00.003+08:00

I have been splurging way too much the past two weeks. I need to restrain myself starting today.hmm..
Ok anyway..
On Thursday, skipped two lectures in the evening for shopping!!
A few of my uni friends and I went over to Curve for the Zara warehouse sales.
Zara has always been my favourite clothing outlet. I love everything Zara.haha..
However, after waiting in line for about 45 minutes, we ran out of patience and left feeling disappointed....

But but.....
Lu xanne called me and asked if i wanted to go to KL with her. How could i possibly say no.muaaha...
It turned out pretty productive..

15 years of friendship and counting! ;D

Friday morning, went to Nilai with my mum's side of the family to visit my gong^2's grave and then had dim sum brunch..mm mm...
Its just something we do every year.

Watched X-men, I like.
My saturday was spent watching Ivan's basketball match at ss3 and watching Lee Hom's concert at Bukit Jalil.haha..

We got the tickets for free from a friend..so just thought we should check it out..
Although i only understand bits and pieces of his lyrics but I really like his music.

So talented in music, has such a dreamy voice and super good looking. sigh..
Whats not to like?haha...

I am really lazy now.
Sigh..
but I got to finish up my reports.SIGH.....

My weekend was hectic!
I didn't have any time to study for my test but what to do, compelled to do it anyway.
I surrounded myself with my notes thinking that that would do the trick..BUT.......................
The questions were so confusing and with only 35 minutes given, I did nothing else but panic.
So difficult!!argh.......
I am so thankful I didn't fail!

I can't wait for all my assignments to be handed in and can't wait for all the lab classes to end.
I do enjoy my lab classes but seriously the writing of the lab reports all the time is stressful!! gahhh..
truthfully, I rather spend my time studying!!

And my exam time table has just been released.
Why must they put all my papers so late in June?!
My final paper will be on the 26th of June and the 2nd semester begins on the 17th of July.
Meaning that my break will only be slightly more than 2 weeks! HOW CAN!?

Oh well...

On a happier note,

Today we made fondant and hard candy in our food science lab class.
My gosh, we kept going around tasting all the different types of sweets and we also observed them under the microscope. hahaa..so fun!!!

And on Saturday, went for dinner to celebrate Ivan's grandfathers birthday.

the cake looked really pretty

tagged on facebook by Emily. Dynamitez performance for shell at pyramid I think. They haven't paid us till this day!

I miss cheering and making money!hahahaa...

alritey gotta finish up my assignments!

I have 20 mcq's and 10 subjective questions to answer in 35 minutes.
And we are not allowed to click back on the previous question once that question is answered.

about 10 chapters to study, but loads of assignments to finish.
No time also must make time, somehow. maybe I should play less of Restaurant City on facebook.
Ya, maybe....

since this test is 10% out of my total 100%, I will, can and must ace it!

Please??

thank You.

Amen.

oh and my mummy cooked Wagyu beef today.muahaha...I LOVE IT!

I am loving the song ' Falling slowly' by Glen Hansard.
My musically inclined brother made me harmonize that song with him.
