Hello world,
I guess blogspot has become the place where I can just let it all out and not hold anything in. Which is good cos my brain is just spining.
Anyways, when does a silly crush turn into true love? Or is true love a figment of imagination as my friend bluntly puts it? I guess dreaming and hoping keeps life interesting. But I still wonder.
And falling for your past semi-ex's best friend...will it last? Or is it again a figment of imagination?
Gah! All these questions floating around my head...but now it's all out here :D. YAY! Now back to concentrating :D.
If anyone has any figment of an answer of some sort do drop a line :D

Fast Tracking
Hello world,
I know I don't blog often. And actually have decided that I'll only blog when I feel that it is needed :D
So, Fast Tracking.
Have been thinking about life and relationship as per usual. And have been thinking bout what makes a successful relationship or even life.
Then BOM! Just realized that our generation wants everything Fast Tracked. We have forgotten that life is about learning and growing and building. We want the best in technology, the best in transportation (cars), the best job and the list goes on and on.
I know we all deserve the best. But if only we can step back and realize that our parents actually work for all the things we have and most of them started off with nothing. Well, my parents did anyways. And so, not going on a holiday ever year is ok, not having a nice car but having to share a car or a smaller car, that I'll eventually have a good partner/ relationship and so on it is all ok.
Realizing that wealth can be slowly built up. And relationships, it starts with friendship. If relationships do not start with friendship and starts on infatuation or feelings of love, what happens to the relationship if love sort of subsides? The relationship is then reduced to oblivion. The reason for this conclusion is the mere fact that love is as many feelings are, here one day and may go the next day.
As such, if the relationship was based on a friendship to start of with, it will be able to sustain in the long run. Reason for this, simply because we are, as humans, as I would hope friendship is, more willing to compromise, to give and take, to build on and grow the friendship and to support one another.
So yeh, that's my spill on an epiphany I had this morning. :D Do comment and most of you have me on fb so do let me know what you think. As am in the growing process of understanding relationships. I don't think I've put across what comes to mind as succinctly as I should. But hopefully the gist is there :D
In conclusion, what's the point of rushing things. Enjoy life and look and plan for the future but do not rush foundation building and essential steps in life.

Geraldton
HI ALL!!!
lol!! Am missing everyone. Giving a special shout out to Da Jie and Er Jie back in Perth. Miss you both so much.
Geraldton is a really cool place (literally). Upon arrival (after a 6.5 hours pleasant coach ride - made a couple of new friends), I was thinking 'mini-Perth'. So, the minute we got here, our (I came to Gero with a course-mate/ friend, Britt) lovely supervisor picked us up from the coach-port. We were then taken on a 'tour' around the town. Then to the nurses quarters where we were staying for the next 7 weeks.
The nurses quarters are actually better than I expected. Kind of expected it to be a little more run-down with very little access to crockeries and the likes. But contrary to that, the only thing I disliked was the yucky green carpet. lol. The nurses quarters are extremely old.
Sunday. Both Britt and I went to Sun City Church (after Britt helped with getting details - thanks Britt) where we met a lovely lady name Sarah. Sarah is the best. We hung out with her and her friends (people from Lighthouse Church) the whole Sunday. First, we went to the beach via 4WD. It was AWESOME! Had a bit of a trouble when I was out at sea though (almost drowned...Was saved by lovely Sarah - She's my life saver). Was going to tell you all the story, but it takes far too long.
Anyways. Went to watch Slumdog Millionaire with the new friends that night and it was the best!
1st week at work: -
Have always been a little weary bout hospitals, so I found it a little intimidating. And the fact that Britt prefers to do wards (hospital) which allows me to do home visits allowed me to 'settle down' a bit better. On the Tues, we attended cell (Sun City church) and again lovely Sarah drove us. It was great meeting everyone and getting to know them And last night, we attended youth group (Lighthouse Church). Again super fun. But I still miss Fyre.
The best part about everything is probably the girls who live in the nurses quarters with Britt and I. They're the loveliest bunch. Carol - always making us laugh. lol. O, and also the independent living bit - the buying of food and cooking for oneself.
Overall, Geraldton has been great. Had a little drama but it is great. Being able to live independently and budget and cook for myself and being so welcomed by Geraldton. For everyone out there, visit Geraldton. It may seem far and small but it is growing and it is very welcoming.

Life...
Hi all,
I know I've said that I possibly won't be blogging till after Geraldton. But. Sigh
Cuzzie was right about using blogging to release feelings.
Why can't everything go my way? Or go a 'happy' way.
I hope God finds a guy that loves/ likes me as much as this guy. Sigh!

Geraldton
The day is finally arriving. This post is 6 days early but anticipating next week to be chockas. Yup, cos I'll have classes and I have to tidy up my room and so on n so forth. lol.
So, Geraldton. To all of you who have no idea where Geraldton is, it is 5 hrs by car, 6.5 hrs by coach and 1 hr and 10 mins by airplane, north of Perth. Yup, it is super far. lol. To me anyways. (To the people in Kuching) Like dad says it's from Kuching to Miri. Yeh.
So why am I going all the way to Geraldton? Well, cos of prac/ work experience/ fieldwork. For 7 weeks I will be living up there. Good and bad I suppose and I'm actually looking forward to it. Wonder how much it'd cost me living up there.
Also, am anticipating time spent with God =D.
So, the next post will probably be up after 8 weeks. Reason being, I have to buy internet while I'm up there. So I'll spend a minimum amount for internet as it's not necessarily essential.
Till then, have fun and I'll miss all you Perth-ians!!

Life
Sigh..life has been hard this past couple weeks. And I'm anticipating that it ain't gona get easier. Sigh.
I got a rose from a friend last Sunday. And I was looking at it. And was thinking ' it's so fragile'. In a few days time, it'll probably die. Whither away. Then I thought of my life and was contemplating whether I was more like the beautiful rose before me or rather like the rose when it's withering. I guess I'm yet to know where I stand at the moment.
But I realized that I have not grown. Yes, my faith is greater now and I am stronger. But I still have not grown. This year, growth. Maybe it's time to find a mentor too.

Random thought
Hrmm..It's actually not really a random thought but it is still kinda.
It seems that as human beings, we tend to want what we can't have. For example, I know that I can't have lots and lots of clothes but I still want them. And it's like Adam and Eve. They know they can't eat the fruit but once tempted to have something they can't have, they give in. I guess, that is why it says 'Flee from temptation' not walk away, but flee.
Yeah. Actually, it is something I am going through in life. My close friends would know I guess. And I shan't say more than that. =D

Shoe
Am currently at work. And guess what? There's no access to yahoos or hotmails or facebooks but there's access to blog :D. Big grin =D
Anyhoos..
Today...is the first day I'm wearing my black 'work' shoe. So happy. It's so soft. However, it is tight. But no matter, it's still more comfortable than my other shoes...Am really blessed that mum and dad paid for it for me. I think it's cos we went shoe shopping the other day and showed a shoe that I like to my parents and was upset that it wasn't approved. Then I think dad was the one who decided to buy me the shoes =D..Thanks to my parents =D
On a side note...I think coffee has been making me sleepy...weird

Update...
It's so hot and humid...feels like I'm back in kch again. lol. Anyways...thought I'd post something while waiting for the live update of the tennis. Go FEDERER!! lol.
Anyways, thought I'd update people bout life atm. Well, life is good. Enjoying prac and am looking forward to the start of a new week at work. Strange hey? But it's true. Even though it's quite tiring I actually like being at work. I think it's because I can stop thinking when I get back home.
Also, just started the new job with i.d.entity WA. It's so cool. Bascially, I just take my clients out of the house. Lol. So, thinking of maybe going to Joondalup or somewhere far-ish. But yeh, I get to see WA and get paid to do so as well. O the joy =D. Yay!

Prac/ fieldwork/ work
PRAC TIME!!
Sigh...It is fun but very tiring. Never thought that staring at the computer screen for 8 hours, 4 hours staring at the comp and then break. Thank God for 1 hour breaks in the city...shopping anyone? Lol!
Anyways. Really thank God for the type of prac this is. Would never have picked this prac as it doesn't offer any hands on 'real' OT. However, I meet so many different people, multidisciplinary as well. And I get to network. Not only that but I get to see people's case notes and claims. And learn how to write case notes. So many hidden advantages. O...and also the people that I meet. Hi Shawn, I think you'll be reading my blog sometime soon. This means you're either not doing work at work or you've got a computer and an internet connection. Lol!
But drawbacks? Sleeping as early as 9.30pm cos I'm simply too tired. Sigh. 8.30am-5pm work. But it is getting better. O...and I'm not getting paid for any of this.
It's now Friday and scarily, I am looking forward to going back to work on Tues. Well, Monday is Australia day and it's Chinese New Year.
Happy CNY to everyone!! May God bless you and may you all get many many ang paos. Wish I can get mine =( *pouting*.
P.S.
The last post, Psalms 37. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will grant you your heart's desires.
Love ya all.

Love
This Sunday, an awesome women of God spoke of God's true nature of love. However the emphasis that I would like this post to place upon is the moment in time spent with God.
This Sunday, seemed to be just like every Sunday. Church started and it was like every Sunday. Preacher preached, just like every Sunday. Then came the be-earlied altar call. As I contemplated going up, somehow, my heart didn't seem to connect with my body. And I went up. After a couple of praise songs, as I lift my hands out, I suddenly stopped singing. I could see, with eyes closed, a figure or an image of someone bright standing in front of me. With his left hand, he placed it within my right. His right on my forehead. And, he whispered, softly and gently, 'I love you'. Soon after, I felt a real hand hold mine. And as the pastor prayed for me, it confirmed everything that was felt earlier. A date with my Lover. I am His beloved, and He my lover.
You see, I have known God as my Father. A father of love. However, I wanted to know Him as a lover too. Because for so long, after hearing the joy of my friend knowing God as a lover, I wanted to know that too. I wanted to know the difference, if there even was one. I wanted to know what it meant to spend time in His presence, knowing he loved me. I wanted t know what it meant to fall in love with Jesus.
The Friday before that fateful Sunday, that same pastor prayed for me and told me that God wanted me to pamper myself. Something, I've always found hard to justify within myself. Then as I semi-did it, or so I thought, I realized one thing. That whatever it is that I do, if I'm happy, God is happy. See, I finally realized that God loved me that much as to say to me, regardless of anything, I want you to be happy. That's why He sent Jesus, cos He loved us so much.

Girls
The girls in my life that I love.
To my beloved cousin, M.M.
Hehe...sounds like M&M. Well, truth betold, you are sweet. I remember the time when it was just me, your sis and your mum in the car and you were outside waiting for your sister. And your sis asked me something of which I gave a rather 'blonde' answer. It was the first answer that poped into my head! Innocent. Your mum turned around and laughed and said that we were so similar and that would have been your exact same answer. So moral of the story, even though miles have separated us, I believe we are still soooo similar. Scarily similar. Miss you and love you so much. You will always be my big sis. And also, thank you for everything. Thank you for teaching me how to love God most importantly. Thank you so much and may God bless you.
To all my other beloved cousins/ sisters,
Thank you for everything. Thank you for your love and your patience. To C.M and L.M. you gals will always be my little sis. Lol. And since I'm so similar to M.M. you can rest assured that my love for you would be similar too. Will be here when anyone of you beloved sisters need help or a listening ear or just a shoulder to cry on. Remember we're all just a phone call away. Love you all.
To A.H.
Ah..hehe...You are my big sis. You have been there for me like my cousins have. So you kinda make Perth the home away from home. Learnt so much from you especially bout love living. And learn so much from your bf bout living a godly life. Love the times we've spent together, the bbqs, the shopping and most importantly, the movies =D.
To E.J.
It is true bout big things comming from small packages. You always make me laugh. And your openness to sharing your time with me and how you and your bro have included me in your family. It is really an honour and priviledge to have you as a sister. Have learnt much from you. Especially bout the English society. Go the Mr. Wentworths and Mr. Thorntons. One day we will find our beloveds just as they have found theirs. Sigh =)
To J.L.
Hehe. We have the same initials. Keep shining the light for our Lord Jesus. Have learnt much and am learning from your walk with our beloved Father. Falling in love with the Lord every single day. When I grow up, I wana be like you =D.
To the Fyre gal leaders
Your friendship is not small to me. The pearls of wisdom that we share with each other during those hang out times at J.L's (hehe same initial again) will always be remembered. Thank you F.O. for reminding me to trust people and that you gals are there (or here) as my sisters. Thank you all so much for your love.
To Angel,
Sorry, forgot your last name. *sheepish grin* I miss our drive homes...Come back to Perth =D
P.S. I'm straight and this is what we would call sisterly love =)

Boys
This is for a thank you note to all my boy friends out there who have impacted me in 2008 and the years before that. Hope you know who you are as I refer to you in initials =).
To A.L.
Thank you for being a brother someone whom I can always go to for advice. For teaching me what relationship is and how to gain it. Also about keeping and making friends. Also for teaching me to run to God whenever concerning whatever.
To S.B.
Thank you for being a gentleman. As you well know, one of the posts was about you. But you also taught me that there are gentleman-s out there. That it's not a dying breed and that it may be something that guys eventually grow into. Thank you.
To D.W.
Hehe. Little bro. I've learnt so much from you. I guess innocence and pure-ness of heart is one reason for it. 94 threads and counting. Considering we've only met face to face 2-3 times and only DMC-ed once, it's a long thread. Though you are one of my many brothers I treasure our friendship and brother-sisterhood lots. Rarity I must say. Rarity, like a gem stone. We never seem to get bored of each other.
To D.B.
Do not mistaken this initial to represent a fellow girl friend. Thank you for the many DMCs we have. Of which I have learnt so much about the boy species. Lol. Homage to you =). What can I say. You're a great friend and brother. =)
To my cousin T.S.C.
You have shaped my view of how a man should be. Caring, kind, sharing, loving (unconditional), patient, giving and the list goes on. You showed me that no matter how much you have, you should be willing to give in terms of time, effort and monetary. That as a brother/ man, their role is to protect and love us sisters and girl. You are more than a cousin. You, are a brother. Miss you so much.
To my cousin T.C.H.
The time spent with you in OZ have taught me so much about you. Your likes and dislikes and who you are aiming to be. You show me that hardwork and perseverance pays off. And that passion drives people.
Simple lessons yet life lessons in itself. Thank you all.
To those who weren't mentioned. I'm sorry. But bear in mind that every person that everyone of us have DMCs with will have impacted the individual, shaped the way they think and act even thought the person sharing it may feel it is of minimal impact.

New beginning
A new year. A new beginning.
To all my friends out there who're finding the new year, in its early days, as hard as it was the previous year and dread the fact that you may have to face a new year that is as hard as the last, hang in there. Look to God and He will give you strength.
Sometimes it seems that life has hit you yet again and knock you back to what seems like 200 hundred steps, even though you felt you've gained that small step that you needed. Sigh. Life's been like that recently. Seems that the Self in me wants to revert back. Yet God's promise still remains. Among His promise is that when He says you are so, you are so. So what am I saying? Basically, I'm claiming I am a new wine skin waiting for new wine to be poured into me. And it is the same strength from God I am urging you all to hang on to as I am currently claiming upon my life.
So new beginning...here I come!!! =). And friends let's brace this new beginning together. Stand firm in God, rest in God and fight for what is rightfully ours!
