Last week was the crazier week ever once i landed in Melbourne Airport.2 weeks break in Malaysia is kinda off short but just enough for me to get all the things done in time.Got my wisdom tooth removed,renew my passport,catch up with friends and most importantly spending time with  my family back home:)

There comes my diary for the week:

Thursday:Landed Melbourne airport and went to work in the morning.Came home at night unpacked my hand baggage and went to bed for the night!

Friday:Working and at night we had a HEN'S Night party for Shannon the bride to be on Saturday.It was an awesome evening to see the bride spending her last night with all her good friends flying all the way from Malaysia and New Zealand! Lucky you Shannon:) Hope you have fun on that day and most importantly use all the presents we got for you !

Sat:Woke up really early to prepare myself for Shannon's big day! Met up with my high school senior and some other girls from KL and bring them over to Shannon's house as they are Shannon's bridesmaid.We were lucky to have such a nice weather with 27 degrees.Cut the story short,the wedding went on smoothly,totally love the way Shannon says I DO and the surprise that Richard gave after the vows.Such a lovely couple.At night,we throw the newly wed a after surprise party...:)

Sun:My normal Sunday routine church.The message on that Sunday was really good,preached by Pastor Julie Khoo.Thou the sermon went for an extended 30 minutes,but i dint felt like it as the entire sermon was so engaging and went straight to the point.At first,i thought i could finally rest after church,who knows i have a pooped up dinner to attend with my high school seniors.

Mon:Went for class the whole day and managed to catch some sleep before dinner with the group of friends Yellow Forever.lol.Came back home around 12pm after watching Captain Philip in Crown.

Tue:Yeah is an official public holiday in Melbourne:) a PLANNED DAY for me to rest.But But But i got a last minute invitation to the Melbourne Cup last night,or maybe this morning at 0030am.and i decided to go since i have never been to Melbourne Cup after 6 years in Melbourne. Wasnt prepare for the day at all,but luckily i have a floral party to dress up for the day! I would say i was a good experience as you can see everyone dressing up so nicely especially the ladies with beautiful hats and accessories on their head.

Feel like having someone around

This is the second time im having the thoughts of having pets perhaps a dog will be nice.once you are so used to the mundane routine of being alone most of time,having a living animal will spice up the day.only my cousin will know, the first word/sentences i ask her daily when i see her at home will be what did you have for lunch?Hows your day,did you go out?

At least, having a pet .when you come back home from work they will welcome you the moment you step in the house.Unfortunately ,i cant own a pet cuz our apartment is too small for them to walk around.Apart from that,im afraid i dont have the time to commit myself to take care of them.

When my cousin and i were discussing about having pets the other day,we were thinking of having  rabbit instead.it will be funny if we WALK the rabbit in the park .LOL. Nonetheless,dogs will definitely be better than any other animals.

An extra wish to add on my wish list.Having a DOG in future

Little secret about me:)

For those who knows me well,im someone who can’t keep my own secret to myself. I can keep ppl’s secrets very well but not my own. I always have the urge to tell someone. No matter is happy or sad moment, the only way to express my emotions is definitely by telling my close friends or someone around me, with that I feel a sense of relief. So basically I am open to people easily. Thats how people feel comfortable talking to me too.

Nowadays,Joan is back to Malaysia,n jm is back to Mauritius.I have lost 2 really close friend who I can share my thoughts withL Luckily Mandy is still around to guide me n advise meJ

A Great day

I woke up this morning with a very good mood not because is a FRIDAY,solely because i have enough rest. Wasn't feeling quite well last night so i went to bed at 9pm to avoid myself from falling sick.8 hours of sleep really helps to re-energise the much needed rest .

A proper breakfast at home before going work makes me feel like is a good start of the day.As usual,i will  rush to get out of the house asap .when i tried open the front door this morning, i can feel a little weight on my door.In  my mind,i was wondering why the door seem to be heavier today?as i can feel i'm using more strength to pull. Out of my expectation,a plastic bag of keropok was hanging on my doorknob.

Having a quick look who is it from..ah is from my neighbour who stayed opposite us! just to thank me for the muffins i gave him 2 days ago...frankly speaking, he has been staying here for like 6 months,but so far i only seen him once. had a little chat introducing ourselves and know that he is from Malaysia too..

I'm looking forward for tonight.Echo having a Knight Night event.Hopefully everything turns out to be good!

Tomorrow going to be a great day too! my colleague's wedding:)

i was super tired yesterday,came back home at around 4.30pm from church. I slept through the night till this morning 7am. 14 hours of sleep! feel so much better after the long rest.

Throughout the 14 hours of sleep,i had a weird dream.I rarely remember my dreams,but this particular one stamped in my mind the whole day.cant u what i  dreamt off, but for sure in my dream i'm still a Christian,and i'm aware of what are the things i shd and i shouldn't do.

This week is rather an intense week for me, my class on Mon and Tue are from 8.30 till 4.30 or 5pm and night time i had a committee meeting and etc..as for wed to friday are my working days.I have pondered a few times,why am i making things so hard for mself. I could just choose an easy way out and led a normal life like everyone.I dint, i rather spend money to go for classes instead of buying luxury handbags,cloths,and cosmetics,and work pt just to stay longer here.

I needed to give up the forgone opportunity cost  just to fulfill my dream that might not even come true.Does it really worth with all these effort?I am not sure,but all i know is this is what i want i just need to try at least i wont regret if it dint succeed. I will only regret if i dint try harder. I just wanted to give thanks for all that has been provided, God has been faithful as he sheltered me when problem comes ahead of me. I believe this is part of his plan . along the way, he has opened many doors for me.Both my parents are very supportive in every decision i made,work has allowed me to work part time with flexible hours.im surrounded with supportive friends n etc Indeed,i am more than grateful..i love my life.and i will try to be a fighter to overcome every obstacles along the way.

Really cant wait for weekend to come by ,with good food and good fellowship! Need to do some cleaning at home too,the whole house is in a total mess when i came out this morning.Clothes and jackets everywhere in the living area.really cant stand mess!

hows everyone's week been ? Mine was pretty tiring as usual but managed to get a few important things done which is good! Sat as my promise to Jiawen,we went to N2 the latest hype in Melbourne. N2 is a nitrogen ice cream where they freeze the liquid using nitrogen and turns it into the so called ice cream.My cousin and i had the lychee and rose sorbet.The taste was rather light with my favourite rose fragrance. If any of you like mango, you should try the mango sorbet.The flavour is so rich as if i was eating the real mango fruit.i dont think i will go back there again as the location is a bit out of the way to travel from CBD specially when you dont have a car.

Before dessert, we went to Huxtaburger for lunch.Was our first time trying Huxtaburger, now i understand why are they so famous.The taste of the beef is tender and juicy, as for me i love the burger's bun,its crispy textures with the buttery flavour is beyond imaginary.Will definitely go back and try their other burgers on the menu.

                         all of us dint know which burger to order,end up all 4 of us ordering the same burger

Nitrogen ice cream in process.

Cant wait for sy to come back Melbourne this fri! gonna be a hectic week for me,too much things going on in my life.Wish my life would be easier.Dont be deceived by all the pic i took,my life is not so happening.my weekdays are just like any ordinary people,work study,doing house chores,ect..., weekend are usually my off day.i try to visit as many places as possible.At least something to keep me looking forward too!

LSCC Anniversary 2013

LSCC just had 5th birthday last sunday .How time flies, i have been in LSCC since the first day service started.Is amazing to see how God works in LSCC.It wasn't easy when we just started.I remember we started off with around 13 people in pastor's old house  Glen Waverly.

5 years down the road now, i seen many people come and go..the mobility of movement is pretty high in LSCC as most of the members are international students.Is good to see them going back and still serve God faithfully.Indeed, God is faithful!

Currently, LSCC has around 50 regular members who will come every week.I consider it quite good as most of the members come every week without fail.What i love most about this church is the feeling of home.I have never felt so warm and welcoming in church before .This is one of the main reason i dont want to leave Melbourne.All of them are like my family member, whenever i need help,someone will definitely lent me a hand.Even in situation where they cant help, they will always keep us in prayer.

This year, i dint capture much picture of the entire event.Let show you some of the few pic i have here

  

2013 5th Anniversary

                                                             
                                                   our 1st Anniversary in Vermont South 2009

3th Anniversary 2011

5th Anniversary 2013

what's the hottest topic people at our age will usually discuss these days? definitely is no other than RELATIONSHIP ! LoL Heard and seen many love stories about how people go through a r/s with their other half.Some bear good fruits with wedding bell on the way.while others walk away with brokenness and disappointment.

LOVE is something so magical that can actually turned a person up side down.When you are in love everything that person do will seemed perfectly right.even things that you used to hate doing ,because of love, you now love doing it.You even willing to go the extra mile and do your very best to gain the acceptance, simply because of love:) I guess love is just so well described in the bible:Love is patient,love is kind.it does not envy,it does not boast....

If you ask me how much you know about relationship? I answered will be 0%, cuz i have never been in a rs b4.But i do know what kind of rs i am looking for. I have to admit,there are times i am anxious for myself as people surrounding are all getting attached, engaged and or even married. What is happening to me?LoL. Am i being too picky?definitely No. All i know is im looking for the right one to come:) I always tell myself is better to wait than to rush into it and walk away with broken heart where they wish it dint start at the early stage  .yet another part of me,tells me i should try going out with someone though the rs will never work out.but at least you get a taste of how is it liked! 

As far as i know,im still on the right path.I believe there will be someone out there where we are meant for each other...hopefully i will meet my other half in a situation where i have never thought it will out to be..wanna to see the surprise in life as i dont want to live a mundane life.omg my thoughts are full of all these romantic scenes all thanks to the korea drama which accumulates over the years:( 

 back to the real life, romantic love story doesnt really happen in real life. real rs is all about commitment .as if a rs is based on feelings and looks,10 20 years down the road you will never feel and look the same.all of us will aged and the feelings for each other will fade too due to difficulties in life.

Just within 3 weeks, two of my close friends leave the city of Melbourne for good. All the sudden i felt uneasy with less text messages and calls from them :( my past few nights has been quiet and lonely,but lucky i still have a cousin staying with me! At least, we can still talk, eat ,cook, and clean the house together:)

 Friends could t possibly be with us forever, as each of  them will soon have their own family and so...but non matter what , i still value the true friendship we had and the precious time we spend together:)  Is time for me to move on and get a new circle of friends!

hard to say Goodbye

After so many years here, today is the first time I find it hard to say good bye. No sure is it because I learned to express myself better nowadays or is just this friend of mine which is so important that have impacted me lot that I can’t bear to see him going back! Without him I have one less close friend to be my listener and talk too. I know you are just a phone call away but the time zone different make it hard for us to keep in touch with you timely L  

Nonetheless, One thing for sure is that he has left a good legacy in LSCC which none of us can forget(his love and care for each individuals).You will definitely be dearly miss by everyone! 

I seriously don know whats wrong to me recently..it seems that my emotion fluctuate like the Melb weather one hour bright and sunny, an hour later could be cloudy and moody.Trust me i am not like that last time, i usually dont cry easily and able to control my tears really well.But these days,  tears tend to roll down quite frequent every now and then.Wish i could be stronger!

I will really miss you my friend Jean Marc!!! (hopefully will be able to hold my tears on wed morning)

Favourite:)

After a week of eating out every night, no only my wallet suffers from the overspend,my stomach could t take it either! My stomach was bloated so badly especially after eating the 350g steak from Wine & Wine Co. Dont get me wrong the food was good just that i had too much of meat(Protein) whereby my body dint have the time to digest it all at once.

Btw, i cant resist to tell everyone the joy of me finding my favourite cafe in the CBD(the grain store)!I will list this cafe as one of the top ones around Melbourne.Is definitely way way better than the famous Hardware society!

The main reason that attract me definitely the food listed on their menu.These days, most cafes have come out with a contemporary kind of dishes but  none of them  hit the benchmark of mine as i dont find it special and excited anymore.But for this cafe, the food on the menu is quite catchy whereby i dont know what the dish like by reading the name  itself.I guess this keeps me curious about the dish i will be getting:)

The entire cafe were decorated with the typical casual western design but for one thing which i dont get it why do they place all the round marble on the side?Nonetheless,it makes me feel home dining in the cafe as it reminds me of the dining table we have at home:)

An extra bonus point for this cafe is that,you dont have to wait or queue on a sat arvo! will definitely go back for another visit to try on their new winter menu before i leave Melb!

Back to foundation

Exam is around the corner for the uni students,so we had an exam tips on how to prepare well for exam at youth.Overall it was really good,although most of the things been mentioned i have heard hundred  of times,but is really an awakening call for me..

Life been busy with work and many other things in life,is so hard to keep myself on track...as i have lost the most important ingredient to success which is DISCIPLINE.Its so clear what i need to do first and put the less important things on hold.but so often, i tend to do what i feel like doing and keep procrastinating on the important things in life.

Need to start putting myself together and stop wondering around on unnecessary things.

One Step at a time

Most of the time what we planned dint get to turn out the way we wanted it to be..Well i learnt my lesson this time round.I need to take things slowly Instead of rushing through and gain nothing out of it.

Always thought I could maximise myself to achieve the things I have listed for myself. I like to do things fast and  don’t want to waste time. As time wait for no men.At the end I realize, I could not handle it well due to the overwhelm amount of stress and pressure.

Had a good chat with dad and my brother the other day.One interesting TOPIC been raised by my brother that kind of trigger my mind to think..

1)we know that in most religion we hardly came across situation where people inviting friends to their religious event.But this is not the case for Christian..only Christian will try to evangelist and spread the gospel. To be honest the main reason we are doing this is because in the bible we are taught to bring the good news to the unbeliever...is good to obey the bible.BUT the question here is are we sincere in wanting them to know Christ or we are just doing it out of duty???

2) Is always good getting to know someone better by spending time with them (especially the non believer)..for example there is a new comer who comes to church one Sunday morning,after talking to he or she .we as a member of the church have to keep in touch with the respective person.Are we doing all these just because we hope that one day this person will come to know God or we just want to know them better as a friend ?I know is good to have the thoughts hoping that one day that person will accept Christ as we are bearing fruits in God's kingdom...but at the same time we should not think in such a way...we should be their friends with no exterior motives.The best way to bring a person to Christ is through the way we lead our lives..only through our actions people are convinced.. 

my weird collections

For many people the most common things that people collect will be watches,cosmetics,stamps ,shoes and etc.I do love bags,but i have an unusual collections/habits which is no other than tupperware/containers! hahah .I know is kinda of weird but I dont why i just love buying containers,whenever i see containers having sales i just cant resists myself to buy.Just bought 4 new containers from Big W to my collections in the pantry!I can imagine if i have my own house in future im sure you will see lots of different sizes of containers:)I think the main reason is because i find it more tidy and neat to put all the small ingredients or fresh food in container.It just make the cupboard or fridge looks so much clean and neat!

Finally i get to own my  first glass container!Im going to use it as my lunch box for work!

Ang Ku Kueh

Amongst all the malaysia kueh, my favourite is definitely the ang ku kueh! The reason is because it has a chewy texture taste like chewy gum .hahhah..Ang ku kueh translates directly from Hokkien means  the red tortoise cake.  Managed to get the recipe from one of my favourite food blog where the blogger wrote a very detailed step by step instruction accompany with youtube video which is make it so much easy for me to follow through.After reading through the blog i came to know that in the older days,Ang ku kueh is used to give as a gift to celebrate weddings,birthdays or newborn's full moon.

This is my 2nd attempt of making..Never had i imagine that i actually have that patience and passion to make ang ku kueh.I suppose if i am back in Malaysia i wont be bother to spend so much time making it as back home these kueh can be easily purchase from the local hawker store at a really cheap price.Although they dint look good in appearance,but trust me the taste actually taste quite good!

Perks of working in small company

A first graduate job is very important as it lays a strong foundation on where we will be heading off in future.For me it wasn't easy,it took me 9 to 10 months to get my first job! The waiting process was really hard for me..perhaps that time was the lowest point of my life.Now i can greatly testify the waiting process was rewarding and definitely worth waiting for.Though in terms of pay wise it wasn't that great but i am contented with what was given...at least i dint drag myself every morning to work for the money!

Working in a small medium size company is fun..where you get the opportunity to know everyone well enough that they eventually become our friends/family instead of just colleague.MOST importantly i felt so much at home too as i felt appreciated and important by them... being the youngest in the company i am well taken care by all the seniors and managers.They always make sure that im doing fine with the workload that was given.

Even today i was told by the operation manager that she got an approval to get me a $100 gift voucher.It is a reward to me for helping around as my colleague was away for 3 weeks.In fact, i dint do much, i dint even have to work overtime and yet i was rewarded which is something good to share! Thank you :)

Anyway indeed its  really a good start to be a part of Schweigen .Hopefully for the many years to come i will always be blessed with good company,colleagues and environment.

Next 75 days

Those who knows me well enough will know that my biggest fear is to go back Malaysia.I even don’t know why Im so scared of going back where that’s the place my home is!(Parents are) ,All I knew is that the first time I stepped into Aussie land when I was 9 years old,I really fall in love with this place. Looking back 5 years ago when I came over and study, for most people their parents will accompany them for the first 1 or 2 weeks or they might have come with friends from high school or college. For me,I came alone without anyone. and I never misses home, or shed a tear leaving my family to come to a totally different land. In fact i adapted really well and independent going around figuring out how things work from going to uni to travelling around by public transport …

Visa expiring in aug,it seems like my nightmare is coming. After few attempt of ielts I still could not get 7 for writing.Looks like I have to pack up my bags and be prepared to go back. Sound so sad right..i have been trying so hard and yet wish wasnt granted at this point of timeL But I still thank God for everything HE has given.As all these years in Aus,his protection is always upon me.

Now im more open to the idea of going back and I even have some backup plans going for the next half year…Im not sure is it a bad idea to have backup plans,is kinda irony that maybe I don’t believe that he will help for the next 2 months..

Despite all the faith,thoughts, and plan .I’m  feeling quite lost for now .....sometimes I just don’t want to think so much about it anymore,the more i think about it the more upset i am..told dad about my situation, what he said just makes me wanna to cry.. ;dont worry la... God tends to provide at the eleventh hour.... or do things in a strange way, out of our expectations.if you look at your own circumstance all the time, it just remain stagnant and depressing. if you look at others, then u appreciate your own position.if you get involved with others circumstance, u forgot about your own problem.

Some random thoughts

I really cant believe and dont really understand how can a person who once taste the goodness of God or been very faithful and devoted in the eyes our everyone can just walk away from God and the community of church.I suppose it really illustrates how important is our spiritual seed to be planted on good soil so that we are able to withstand temptation of the world that are always knocking at our doorstep.

It is true that once you step into the real world it is easier to fall into that trap as compare to the life school or uni.As in work place,under the pressure of workload,undue influence of colleague from different background ,relationship and  various circumstances are able to pull us away from going church and leave God.All these are beyond our human's control but there is one thing we can do which is to pray for God's protection upon us so that we can overcome it all ...is really hard when we are in the mist of the process,but i always remind myself to look at the result and goal.Even if i dint succeed at least i tried and did my best.I am sure he will be proud of me of doing my best!

Of course one of the important thing is asking God to put the right people around us to oversee us and make sure we are in the right path.

Past few days was the most relaxing day for me ,waking up  in the morning without much worries solely because i wanted  to refuel for few days before i start preparing for the next exam.How good it will be as if everyday i  wake up in the morning without worrying much and actual live a LIFE! I guess is a process,once i get through it i will be free forever really don't want to live a floating life like this anymore. I want to settle down soon.tired and weary about all these.i need strength to get through it!

i spend the entire weekend catching up with some close friends of mine. Btw, i Found a really pretty gown/party dress from Forever new! but too bad they dont have my size anymore,the one i  tried on was a bit loose .Even they do have my size in their other branch i wont buy too as i have no occasions to wear.

The most exciting day of this week is definitely Sunday- Malaysia's election day,the day where everyone has been waiting for a new 'his-story' to begin .On sunday, i went to the event in StKilda road Season Hotel.I am glad i went ,as i wasnt keen on going the first place.Admittedly,this is the first time i am so proud of being a Malaysian as i can sense the spirit of the people cheering and supporting their country.The entire ambience in Season hotel was extremely good! Everyone was so excited and forward looking toward the result.Whenever the opposition strike a seat you will hear the scream of crowd and applause first even before you see it on the screen.Never in my entire life i seen people  like us 'The chinese' actually cared so much for the country.

Although the opposition did not win this time round,but in actual fact they won people's heart and lifted the spirit of patriotic in everyone of us.Due to this incident, it has stirred and raised the awareness of people towards politics and knowing our country better than before.To be honest, before this i have no sense of idea how politics works in our country,and i dint even know any political party except UNMO the most prominent one who has been ruling the country for past 56 years.At least now i know some other parties in the opposition and some well known leaders in our country after doing some reading through the social media or goggle-ling it.Hopefully the spirit of people will not die down after this failure,i sincerely want and hope for a better government in our county.

i am not a big reader as i rarely read like many people do.reading story books wasn't something i grow up with.though i have a fair bit collection of  books back home.in actual fact,most of the books which i owned i only browse through  the attractive pictures of it and considered myself finished reading it.in fact,I just love the feeling of owning books which makes you feel like someone who are more intellectual.However, every now and then i do try to force myself to read as much as i can in order to improve my reading n writing skills .well,at least i finished reading  Harry Potter which is a 'must' read book during my childhood time .As everyone was reading it so i just followed the crowd. Not having reading as part of a daily routine or habit since young is something I really regret .hopefully is not too late to start reading now 

Only recently I came to realise how things that we see and n feel can be describe in such an intrinsic details .really admire those people who r good at writing as they are able to express themselves in beautiful words . 

I start to fall In love in blogging once again .as i treat it as a channel to express my thoughts n feelings .apart from that it helps to polish up my writing skills :) so why not ,is like killing two birds with one stone 

Yummy Homemade lunch

A quick update during my lunch :)


Put aside all the stress i am facing right now, i am blessed to have such a lovely homemade lunch by my colleague's mum! Thanks Mrs Lee for the bak kut teh !Is really yummy. Your whole family has been a great blessing to me both at work and outside or work !.Words just cant describe how blessed it is in such a time like this where you have insufficient time to go out and buy grocery and cook a proper well balanced meal.

Malaysia's Election

Personally, i need to admit that i am quite ignorance when it comes to political issues as it doest seems to interest me at all.But this time round, people surrounding me have been talking and discussing about the up coming election which in going to take place in 5th of May! All i know is do not vote of the BN we should all vote for the opposition party.I dont really know the exact reason of why vote for the opposition party but for sure ,common sense tells me that a county should not be ruled by the same government all these years.As far as i know, our country has been ruled by the same government for the past 56 years.I think is really the time for a change of new government.As one cant rule the country for more than 5 to 10 years this will lead to various issues like corruption as it increases the likelihood to fraud.Really hope to see a brand new resolution sprout this year and surely our country will be able to grow and develop into a better county like our neighbouring Singapore.

Good luck to my beloved country Malaysia a place where i was bought up in. Especially jb my home town  will be able to overtake by the OP.Please vote for Op who every read my blog:)

Men make history and not the other way around.In periods where there is no leadership,society stand still.Progress occurs when courageous,skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better by Harry S. Truman 

Failure is not an option.no pain no gain

Another time of disappointment when i went online  to check my ielts result this morning.I cant believe with my own eyes,i really put a lot of effort in especially in my writing part and i still get the same band as previously. Band 6!  When will i be able to get band 7???All i need is just a band 7 for it ! Been practicing writing and reading sample questions for the past months.Apart from that, my cousin has been helping me to mark and review my work.I am quite sure i  did better than  last time , as i know my sentence structure has been improved! and the way i express and write is better too!.I do think that ,i deserve at least a band 6.5.

I know i should not give up,although i have been failing many times for not reaching the requirement that is required of me! Seriously this is the hardest and most stressful exam i ever had so far,i just need to hold on to it try my best and get it done.I know in order to improve a language skills within a short period of time is impossible but i will try and give another attempt .If others can do it and did so well,why cant i? Moreover all i need is just the bare minimal of 7 instead or 8.just need to keep pushing myself to achieve,as there is no other obstacles that was given which i cant achieve.I am sure,if this is what God's plan n desire for me He will walk me through the rain n storms.After all,i have been walking a distance from the start already,and able to testify the hardship i been through so far.I am sure i am able to endure it under his guidance and wisdom.as we will only be given by things he knew we going to achieve it.if we choose to walk away by avoiding his plan we will never grow,on the other hand if we ever overcome it.we are the champion as we have accomplished the plan he has for us:)

I really appreciate for those who has been praying and supportive to me.I am sorry i dint make it this time,but please continue to keep me in prayer.I will try my best once again,hopefully able to bring the good news the next time.

Just a small testimony that i want to share here

The week before the result came out,i was really anxious and stressed about it the result and my up coming cpa exam.I could not even control my emotion and express  how i feel in words as i was doubting and worrying about my result .'crying' the only solution to all problems i assume.

I remember vividly that God speaks to me through this word from Daily bread on the book of James 1:5 . it goes with if anyone is defiant in wisdom,he should ask God,who gives to all generously and without reprimand,and it will be given to him.But he must ask in faith without doubting,for the one who doubts is like a  wave of sea,blown and tossed around by the wind.or that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord....etc.After reading that ,i made a prayer to surrender all to Him,as there is no point for me to keep praying n yet dint surrender all.Is true i felt so much better n relieve and my concentration did improved.I was able to revise my CPA as exam which coming up in 2 weeks time.A lot is needed to be covered, as i am not half way there yet,but i am glad now i am staying calm regardless of anything.I know i just need to do my best.As the more i revise or work on the better i will be.Apart from that i cant do much, as human just need to do their part and the rest is under Gods control.Even now,with the disappointing result from ielts, its not going to affect my studies for CPA or next ielts.For i know if he is with u, who can come against him.

One more thing, when i was in the train yesterday,i try to find back the page from  Daily bread passage from James 1 and the strange thing is i could not find it! I really remember is a passage for that day or maybe few days ago or vice versa.but i just could not find it!


I will probably  update my blog more often as to improve my writing:)

Stages In life

Being a student 

At different stages of life,we will have different things we long to achieve ,as we are getting older or rather mature the pressure continues to pile up as we tend to aim for better things in life.I suppose this is just how human nature are like, we are always not happy or contented with what we have.in another words, we are just improving our standard of living to live a better life.

When i was in high school me and friends had the same dream which is graduate from university and gain a degree.At that time,graduating from university seems to be a  challenging task which  sound impossible to achieve.But as time goes by,3 years of university doest seems that hard after all.All you need is just being discipline and diligent to keep up with your assignments and exams .As long as do your part by covering all the materials given/available  you should be fine in passing exam.Of course i meant passing exam only ! not getting a HD or D.

Being a working Adult 

Oh well.after university,the first thing that came to our mind is usually getting a full time job! Maybe Getting a job related to your studies is not as easy as we thought especially in Aus as everyone here is a graduate.So getting a degree is not really a big deal after all.As young as we are ,highly qualified (as we thought we are,maybe not!),dynamics,full of enthusiasm getting ready to have a taste in the workforce all sound so exciting as we are entering in  a totally different stage in life.For most people, this is the time they have been long waited for to earn their own money,no longer asking or live off from their parents.soon when this became as routine, things which you used to perceive as exciting turns into an obligation or rather a duty you have to fulfil. But thank God i am still loving my job maybe because of the beautiful people around me that it keeping me alive! or maybe i just dint work that long enough to complain about it yet.

The hardest part at this stage of my life is I'm  still struggling to juggle between work and studies as i am doing my cpa.Just pray and hope that all these will comes to an end real soon! no more studying late night in the library ,sacrificing social life and etc.I know i just need to work extremely hard and get through all these.Just had a melt down this afternoon with all the stresses that i am facing at this stage.Too much for me to cope with,but i know God is in control of all these.Please pray for me to get through this period of time:)


Being someone's girlfriend, wife or Mum

Is all too early for me at this moment of time as i am neither at any on this stage yet! is happy to see my peers getting into r/s,engage and even expecting a baby soon! Such a beautiful moment to be able to witness the blissful life of them. when you see all peers who are either courting or married one after another i will be worried for myself too.When will be my turn..ahhaha..oh well,is all in HIS plan.i am sure he has all well planned for me! Hopefully will happen like fair tales or something that only shown in the Korea drama .hahha..i am so dramatic.We shall wait and see:)

Easter Weekend 2013

This year we had a really early Easter holiday.Oh well,usually Easter is one of the best time to go travel as we don't usually get much long weekend off apart from Christmas. Really wanted to go for a short trip but there are piles of work waiting for me to finish.Well this has hold me back from leaving the city...Supposedly i gonna spend most whole weekend staying at home and catch up on my studies.Too many distraction coming from different circles of friends! Dint get to study as much as i have planned:( I find it really hard to turn down on people's invites for catching up for dinner,shopping or hanging out together.Today the last day of holiday,need to stay at home the whole day studying and do some housework .

Oh one more thing to share,i had a haircut this holiday at my favourite salon Good Morning along Swanston st. Why would i say is my favourite?? because the hairdresser never fail to disappoint me every time I visits her!But not this time:( i guess is my own fault for telling the hairdresser to cut it short, regretted for telling her to do so.just wish my hair to grow long in the coming weeks!

whats going on !

I woke up middle of the night feeling stomach cramps.Oh well this happened twice in a month.One of the pain that we ladies has to endure each month.Over the past 9 to 10 years i rarely have to go through this kind of body pain,not sure what happened to my body these days .consecutively 2 menstrual cycle i have a serious pained and cramp.I feel bad for calling sick early in the morning as i'm not able to get up from bed to go to work.After a long rest this morning,i felt so much better now being able to relax and do some update on my blog and keep this blog moving in the same time improve my writing skills. 


 What's been happening to my life so far?? 

 Almost everything still the same not much of changes over the past months,working from monday to friday, still loving my job, attending church every week,and etc....but for sure my social life has broader!! which is something great to share:) Dont get me wrong i am still single and available(Waiting for the One that God has prepared for me!)LOL. All thanks to S, you know who u are ! I get to meet a group of nice people around my age group.Has been a pleasure getting to know this group of new friends.They even added me in a group message.You guys makes me wanting to stay here even more! Hoping to see this day to come true soon! Need to work harder on my ielts:)

Quote that i just read from Pinterest

We dont meet people by accident.They are meant to cross over path for a reason

Sometimes i wonder if the clock could go back to 4 or 5 years ago everything would have taken a totally different path way.I dint really regret doing commerce in uni,as it was a great experience that i ever had in my entire study life.All i can say is i am contented with where i am right now. One thing for sure i dont think accounting what i really wanted to do with the rest of my life.If you throw this question to me.my answer will probably no.I love my job but i wont want to do this the rest of my life.i guess office work is really not suitable for my character.i am more toward the careless and outgoing kind of personality.what i really wanted to do might be something toward hospitality field.where i get to be more creative and interact with different people.i know what i am doing right now is totally the opposite to my dream.accounting is so dry ,you dont get the opportunity to meet much people and paperwork will be your best friend. Everything has to go according to the rules and regulation.not much space for creativity.You well managed people's fund but not yours as your salary is fixed monthly,you cant create more wealth.all you can do is just reducing your spending to build up your bank account. no turning point for me now,i just need to finish my pathway to become a professional accountant for the next 5 to 6 years.Hopefully by the age of 30,i get to save enough money and go overseas again to further my studies in hospitality.

Final Chapter for 2012

I always have the thought that once you pass 21st, each day is like running after you.There are many things that i wanted to achieve,some has been fulfilled but some still need more hard work and and time to be accomplished.

 

all i can say is 2012 has been Good and it definitely placed an important part in my life.Just wanna to give thanks that at the beginning of the year i got a job offered.Which is the best present ever at the start of the year.My working environment is good,all my colleagues treat me well. i have a fairly good employer and i even got myself a mentor for my cpa too.What more can i ask?Hahah.Shd be satisfied with what god has given.

A friend just reminded me that i went home twice this year.Another good thing to be happy about :)

Managed to spend more time with my beloved family.Espcially my recent trip, is the first time in 4 years all seven family members of mine gather around.The reason is because ,in the past when i go back deborah will be in Brisbane.We never go back the same time.

                                                                     
                                                                     The three lee flower:)

                                  First family dinner ,dint managed to capture a pic with everyone in.

                             Last but not least, my most cheeky little bro Matthew lee.He is super adorable right???

My relationship with people improve too.This year i really spend plenty of time hanging out with all my friends from church or uni .what we do is, we like to explore new cafes and restaurants.i totally agree with the saying Food can easily bring 2 different people together .I have tried quite a few cafes around melbourne, lost count on how many  have i been.however, there are still a lot more cafe waiting for me to explore.really need to load myself with more money 

                               Manchester Press:the food is ook ..price is good thou not too expensive

 Above 2 pic is from Green refactory:they are one of my favourite cafe as the food there is really cheap for the serving.The macadamia with raspberry slice is something that i really carved for!

 The all time favourite of mine :Egg Benedict .This is from Globe cafe in St kilda.Dont really recommend you guys to go.

 The is from  hardware societe .one of the overrated cafe due to their exquisite breakfast menu.
they really serve good breakfast but is a bit pricely thou.

                          The typical aussie big breaskfast from Kojo Brown.they serve good breakfast.

Christmas Holiday

Finally the long waited Christmas holiday which i have been waiting has come.Just a blink of an eyes holiday just over without me realising:( My holiday schedule was so packed that everyday was full of activities .I thought i could finally rest and spend some time at home.who knows i was hardly at home.The price tag that came along with holiday is a big hole in my wallet and the weight gained.Is bad,but how can i resist not to shop and eat the most that i can !
