CNY

Yay!! CNY!!! Hehe...the one year where all Chinese can play with fireworks...

This year, OZs can as well! =D Yay! A million dollar firework display...

Still miss CNY in M'sia though. One day I'll go back to celebrate one. Miss the hang out time with all my lovely lovely cousins (1st and 2nd day). And all my wonderful friends (3rd and 4th day). Next time I go back, you guys must go visiting with me k? Love ya all so much. Happy CNY to you guys. One of the only time we can see non-dress wearers wear dress.

O..and I almost forgot the ang paos...Hehe..So happy that I can still be a recipient of one. This year, mum and dad gave me ang pao. The first time. It's not tradition simply cos one year mum said that we get too much from our relatives anyways.

Miss M'sia...Miss my cousins...Sigh...Love ya all!!! xxxoooxxx

O..And also all you Perth-ians (including all the students from foreign countries). Hope you all have a blessed Chinese new year. Enjoy the fireworks the Perth govt has put up for OZ day. Aussie Aussie Aussies, Oi Oi Oi! =D

Happy CNY and Happy Australia Day! =D

side issue..sad really

Thought I'd just put this up..Simply cos I'm now quite broke.

In the future. For any gifts of any shape or size, for any occasion at any time.

All I want is $$. That's right. Sigh. This is what being broke brings a person to do. Sigh

Thanks guys. Love u all a lot..This is me tired...

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!
