Lynnie at work

Good arvo all!!!!

Me at work now....20 minutes to home time....feeling really lethargic at the moment......but.....thought i might just add a short journal entry......work is cool.....working on building databases and building webpages at the moment.......which is cool.....but......still learning as i am going along.....i sometimes feel as though my brains are rusty already......i tend to get brain dead at times.....*sigh*

Nothing much happened since i last wrote my journal here......and life is pretty much the same......wake up at 6plus everyday.....sleep at 12plus everyday.......kinda tired actually......but it should be getting better......gonna start studying......end of this month......so no more volleyball....no more socialising......just books books and books....i hope i can keep to it....HAHAHA.....coz i am a slacker!!!! i always leave revision till last minute.....HAHAHAHA :) and panic.....but yeah......hopefully.....now i would be more "matured" in terms of studying......plus....working and studying.....it should be kinda tiring for me.....coz i am a PIG!!!!!!

Another exciting event happening would be..........our semi finals for volleyball today!!!!! Playing at 6pm today.....and kinda excited.......if we win....we will go into the finals.....!!!! :):):)

I am famished.....so hungry i could eat an elephant.....people who know me....will know this expression really well....HEHEHEH :):):) went for cell group last night.....it was good.....made me think quite a bit about my spiritual walk with God.......i just gotta be more and more committed to Him.......life is really weird at times......so many ups and so many downs......i guess that is what makes life so interesting yah.....

i think i am really melancholic today.......cant wait till december.......i wil be going home!!!!! WHOOHOO!!!!! I miss my family and friends!!!! So much.......

shall type a stop here.......have a great remainder of the year ahead.....and GOD BLESS!!!!!

CHEERS!!!!!

Herrow herrow all......

Good Sunday morning.... :):):) Today for the first time after a long long time.....I got up really early on a Sunday morning.....hehehehe.......have been really really tired.....

Many things happened since I last wrote my journal.....parents came, changed jobs, birthday, etc etc......will just write a brief summary.....hehehehe.......

Parents came in August....and stayed for a month.......it was really cool....home cooked food.....and stuff....my niece and my sister came along too.....and it was so shiok.....coz i didnt have to drive to work......nor do i need to worry about food....and most of all.....i missed them so much!!!!! Most nights....we would end up playing Boggle...my fave word game.....hehehee.....and as usual......i am normally the Boggle queen....HAHAHAHA *laughs smirkly*.....hehehehehe.......

After my parents left....my world....empty......so lonely again.....but dave has always been there for me.......comforting me.....and emotionally there for me....appreciate heaps......when my parents first left......i kept crying the first few days......coz miss them so much......but as time went by....got used to it.....as usual i am a cry baby....HAHAHAHA ::D:D:D:D:D

Then......call it coincidental......but i prefer to call it faith......my job switch.......i was working in the financial institution for a couple of months and i realised that it's not my kind of job......and for a week....i started fasting......and praying......for a direction.......and for a job that is really suitable for me.......and that i would enjoy......about 4 months prior to that......i went for an interview with my current employer......and they offered me a job......but....i rejected that position as i wasnt really interested in the remuneration offered.......then that tuesday after the week i fasted......my current employer emailed me....and asked....if i am happy in my then current job and if i would be keen to go for another interview with a much higher remuneration......then i emailed him back and told him.....ok....i am keen blah blah......and went for the interview......guess what??? he offered me the job on the spot......just shook my hand and said...."welcome aboard"......i was elated.......but i know that it's god's blessing upon me.......and up till today....i am still enjoying my job.......although i would be doing part time studies starting next month again......i like the working environment......and i like the privacy of having my own cubicle.......without anyone being able to look over my shoulders......hehehe....people who know me......will know that i am a person who loves alot of privacy.....heheheheh :):):) and most of all...my boss trusts me alot........:):):)

that is with my working life......

at the moment......we are playing competitive volleyball every thursday nights....at LORDs.....and its the first time this team is playing together.....and we are doing quite alright.......am enjoying the game.......shall take a photo of the team one day....and post them online......we have people from all nationality in our team......which is really cool!!!! aussie, phillipino, malaysian, singaporean, and....cant remember...should be all lah.....and we have a guy who is 1.9m in our team......Hahahaha...he is called the bone shaker aka Chris.....and we have dave, mel, audrey, alfredo, jeff, and myself......enjoy every aspect of the game except that the net is super high......it's men's net....!!!!!!! but still alright lah......just wish it was a bit lower.....then would enjoy more.......hehehehe........

what else can i update????? oh ya....my birthday.....i got fooled big time!!!! by dave!!!! We planned to go for dinner at matsuri......where he told me we should since we went there for his bday......then i wanted to have chilli mussels......then he insisted we went to matsuri......and on that day......mel, wailing, etc didnt even wish me....not to say i really wanted them to wish me.....but was sad.....coz they are my closest girlffriends here in perth......and then....i asked dave "hey, do you think it's alright for me to feel disappointed that they didnt wish me"......then dave with a poker face said "yah.....i think its alright for you to feel disappointed".....he must be laughing his head away in his heart!!!!! coz.....when i reached matsuri.....met a friend yousaf at the entrance....and i asked him "hey....how come you are here? having dinner???".....then when he hugged me and wished me happy birthday.....i stared at dave.....and knew what was going on!!!!! my cell mates were all there......including mel and wailing...!!!! touched......had a great night talking to them.....and then went home......it has been a great bday.....as compared to last year....where i was all alone....and trying to get over certain stuff in my life at that time......which now i have decided to put all behind.......and look ahead....in my life.....

phewww...i have written alot this time.....oh ya....i have also just signed up for the sound ministry in church.......together with jason..... :):):) looking forward to start serving......and another thing.....which.....i am super happy is......next paragraph!!!!

wailing is my very good friend when i was working in telstra.....and i started asking her to join us in cell and church.......she is non-christian......and......she has been joining us....in everything we do......blah balh.....and guess what!!?!?!?!!?!?!? she just accepted christ last month!!!!!! wow!!!!! i was in a meeting at work....and when i got back to my desk......i received this email from her......saying that she had a thought about it....and she has decided to accept....i was so so so so so so happy......!!!!!!! it's such an amazing news!!!!!! and we just bought her a bible as a cell...... :):):):) prior to that....we have been passing her biblical books to read too...like the heavenly man, and books by different christian authors.....its just all so amazing!!!! how god works in someone's life!!!!!! am glad that i took the step of courage to even ask her to come along......happy happy....hehehehe......

that should be all that has been going on in my life......nothing much.......nothing too exciiting.....but am happy.........also........i am going back to spore/msia on the 23rd december.....for 2 weeks!!!!! so all those who are there....i look forward to see you guys soon!!!!!!!! dave would be going too..... :):):) am so looking forward to see you guys there!!!!! and catch up!!!!!

Cambridge St, Wembley

Wow....I havent written for ages!!!!! It has been two months since I last wrote a journal.....Too many things happened in the last couple of months....

A few weeks ago.....church had an errr...something........called the survivor.....and we went for it......it was kinda fun......had heaps of fun....but my "down" times started from there.....my friends came over to meet at my place....before the event.....and they came about 9plus...and when they were in the house....they were talking at normal "volume".....but....my housemate......screamed from upstairs for them to keep quiet.....he was so rude.....and that was sorta the last straw for me....and the nights before that......they kept slamming their room door and the toilet door at night....in the middle of the night....and i am not a fan of loud noises......and also the parking problem...once i went for badminton...and they went down south....so i parked my car behind their car....so they cant actually move out unless i moved my car....but they mentioned that they were gonna be back saturday....and that was friday....so he called...and asked if i could move my car....but i was gonna play badminton and dave and i just reached wesley college......(at vic park for those who know....and i was staying in nedlands)....not very near to drive back...to just mmove the car...when we have just reached......so told them that i will be back about 9plus.....and when i reached home to move the car....their faces were so sour.......and since then....kinda had a bit of unhappiness in them......so didnt really talk much to them......and there was once.....dave parked his car inside....and they parked their car behind dave's car.....and you know what the guy said when we went in to ask if they were going out...so that we could move the car......"can you guys park your cars at broadway fair in future??"....gosh.....i was kinda pissed off.....and told them..."yeah...wont park in the lots in future"......and after that i was thinking to myself....i am paying rent and i am paying bills....and i should be entitled for a parking lot rite??? just didnt understand what did i do wrongly......anyway.....was so pissed off (i know i shouldnt be....but i am just human mann)....and didnt really wanna put up with them anymore.....and started packing my stuff....and started looking for a place to move to......and in the end.....i moved!!!! and here i am in my new place....and i am happy as a bird!!!! :):):) coz i have all the space and privacy i want!!!! i dont have to put up with kitchen sink full of dishes......and slamming of doors at night!!! i am very scared of loud noises!!!! anyway........its cool now.....then a series of events happened to me......car broke down......job opportunity.....etc etc......life was kinda terrible for me......but....through all these.....i realised that i have heaps of friends who really care a lot for me.....and i guess without them....i wouldnt have been able to make it through all these........for all those reading.......you know who you are!!!! thank you!!!! dave was through it all with me!!!!! not once he complained about things he had to help me do.....and really appreciate all that he has done....and is doing for me!!!! have to admit that i sometimes get really impatient...especially when everything is going wrong!!!!....and yeah......not good lah.......so kinda flared up sometimes......which is bad!!! learning learning.......hehe....*blush*.......

with regards to my spiritual life.....i have to admit that i started questioning God.....why all these had to happen to me at the same time.....and i was really down.....but God has been faithful through all.....and i learnt alot through all these.......to have faith.....and to learn to lean on Him more......i realised the mistakes that i have done......i realised the meaning of true friendship....i realised the meaning of love!!!!! and that when He closes one door....many more doors will open!!!!! He always makes things happen for a purpose.......

Psalm 49:5 For God shall redeem my soul from the power of the grave, for He shall receive me.............even in extremely difficult circumstances, when we takke our eyes off our own problems and look to help others with theirs, our despair and self pity are replaced with God's joy and peace..........

Judges 6:14 Then the Lord turned to him and said "Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?".........courage is not being afraid, but taking action when you are afraid...true courage is when a person chooses to take a difficult or even dangerous course of action because its the rright thing to do......courage is looking beyond yourself to what is best for others.....source of courage is the holy spirit our comforter who remains by our side to help us......when we welcome Him into our lives, and He compels us to do something, we can confidently trust Him to be rightt there beside us....helping us to get it done......

anywya....my journal is kinda jumbled....i dont know....what i am going on and on about.....but yeah.....it has increase my faith through all these i have gone through.....and God has placed heaps of great people in my life.....melissa, reuben, chris, hendra, wailing, etc etc.......and of course....not forgetting davo!!!!!

ok lah....i think i have blabbered alot already......more to come......will start writing again....so stay tuned.....

have a blessed sunday all!!!!

Easter at Riverview Church.....Karaoke at Hit Studio.....and Dinner at Lynnie's......

Housewarming at Reub's.....

Hot Sunday afternoon......

The week passed has been great! Work abit stressful here and there.....and alright lah....still bearable......and my colleague is back too from her holidays....so at least now...got someone to talk to in office...hehehe :):):) not that i dont talk to other colleagues in office....but yeah...at least with this colleague of mine....we talk about stuff......and not just weather and politics..... :):):)

Seem to have lost the touch of writing journals after the long break......havent written for ages mann.......it's hard now as well....coz I need to turn on their comp to get mine hooked up to internet....sometimes.....at night.....my internet connection just goes off coz they turn off their comp in their room......then....i also paiseh to knock at their door and ask them to turn on.....so will just go to bed lah!!!! :(:(:( but alright lah.....will just take it as a discipline for myself.....time to get some rest....heheh......just gotta take it positively lah....rite? if not life's gonna be so miserable.....

did QT last night......and read this verse.......Proverbs 11:4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death........just taking out of context abit....about riches.....money cannot buy the affection of any relationships....whether with family, friends, partner, children, etc........coz love needs presence, time, attention.......these are the more valuable things we need to look out for than money!!!!! at times, we as humans get so focussed on how to earn money.....to give our families better lives, but we fail to realise that they would want much more of our love and time than anything else in the world......so for all you out there.....who does nothing but work......would really love to encourage you guys to spend more time building relationships....than just sticking your face into your files, facing your comp......churning reports....etc......we know that we need to have money to survive in this world.....but there ought to be a balance!!!! :):):) anyway.....that is what i am gonna apply to my life lah....it has always been like this for me anyway.......i think i am not too caught up with work....or at least....i will set aside weekends for family and loved ones.......well....sorry to bore anyone.......jus a bit of my sharing..... :):):)

One more sharing for the day......Proverbs 10:17 He who keeps instructions is in the way of life, But he who refuses correction goes astray.......i learnt that if we are willing to open our hearts and listen, and willing to correct the mistake with and open mind, God would be able to do so much more with our lives.....at times we just shut all these out and we find that we will remain stagnant......that is what happened to me in the past.......in terms of spiritual growth lah.....I feel that certain things are not done the right way.....and burnt the whole forest down because of one tree.......which is really bad.....i know deep down......i have to correct my way of thinking first before anything....but yeah....am glad that i have grown out of that.....and now i think....or hope to think that i am more willing to accept constructive comments/suggestions/criticism.......receive everything in a positive manner, reflect on it.....and yeah......try to change.....coz....for things to change....we gotta change first!!!

ok lah.....with my life...nothing exciting...besides getting used to my housemates.....getting to know them better.....hopefully....talk a bit more to them now......but they are a couple....so dun really wanna intrude their privacy lah.....spending a bit more time with david.....and praying for each other...discussing about God......and yeah.....am blessed that God sent me so many good and caring friends here in Perth!!!!! Thought this time in Perth would be a long and draggy one....but hey....its passing by faster than I thought it would.....its already March!!!!! so fast mann.......may be going back to msia/spore for a while....if time factor permits.....maybe for a couple of months or so? maybe lah....see how lah.....

just having a debate with a friend in spore....(victor) about guys going for looks more than anything else...of course not all guys....but most guys i guess.......would choose the prettier ones.....if they can...hahaha.....yeah....better not go on with him about it....hahaha.....we will end up fighting....hahahah......

shall not blabber too much......have a great week ahead!!!! God bless all.....and cheers!!!!!

ps: just have to put a pic of something lah.....so.....a pic of my new kiddy shoes....hahaha...... :):):)

Time passes so quickly.... :):):)

Good Sunday morning all.....

Dr Chand was just asking me last night what happened to my journals....hehehehe......and yeah....i told him....on the way....and here it comes......

Monday.....Vday, nothing much...nothing spectacular....just went for a drink with a friend.......and yeah.....nothing much happened.....just pretty normal for "YOU GUYS" out there who thinks that there would be something exciting for me....HAHAAH :D:D:D:D

Tuesday....what did i do....hang on....check diary....hahha.....ohhh....went out for dinner with a friend.....and yeah....discussed about cell stuff......and nothing much also lah.....just discussing about how and what to share at cell.....i didnt do much also....coz he was gonna lead cell the next day......work was great......!!!!! :) enjoyed myself at work.....haiyah.....i always enjoy myself at work anyways..... :) coz i take pride in what i do....heheheh :D:D:D:D........at night....spoke to my current cell leader about stuff.....and spoke to mike.....mike told me a few things.....which i took into consideration lah.....but.....all is well now..... :):):)

then wednesday.....nothing much happened....work was like....errr.....i felt like a zombie the whole day....just couldnt concentrate......trying hard to focus......but.....anyway.....i guess coz had this confusion in myself......and just had to get things right with myself and God.......i felt i wasnt behaving like a christian!!!!! just felt a bit condemned...coz i felt that i was just leading people on.....and that is not my intention........and i dont like to feel that way......so sorta made a hasty decision........and yeah....now think back....i shouldnt have....anyway.....was doing my QT......and yeah......this verse......Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death, I will fear no evil; For you are with me, Your rod and Your staff they comfort me. and also Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.........and i learnt that when you have the fear of the Lord, you would love and acknowledge His ways and will follow Him faithfully......and if there is anything in your life that needs to be filtered, lift them up to the Lord and He will help you in everything you do....in every step you take!!!!! Also, the guilt we feel is not meant to overwhelm us or plunge us into despair. We are to draw nearer to God and seek for forgiveness and seek His help to be more like Jesus. When we seek and receive God's help, we are transformed into people who no longer seek easy tasks or simple lives, but hard tasks and difficult challenges......and now.....i truly believe that God is moulding me to be the person He wants me to be..... :):):)

Thursday.......great time at work!!!! enjoyed every bit of work.....anyway....as mentioned....i guess if we take pride in what we do....everything becomes a pleasure...... :):):).....a friend came over to my place...just talk lah.....

friday....had bible study at mel's place...it was great......as usual....my hands not doing me any service.....so just didnt have the mood to play guitar.......so uncomfortable playing guitar with sweaty palms hey.....hehehe :D:D:D:D......so just sing lah......but......we were discussing about the purpose driven life book....and the sharing was great!!!!!! i enjoyed the bible study......and later....we went to makan2 for teh tarik with reu and family, alex, mel and david...........its a new msian restaurant....which is doing really well!!!! and the ice tea is realyl nice......but was talking across......sorta screaming....coz it was so noisy there......and sorta lost my voice too...ahahahaha...but alright lah.....but i was really really exhausted........so tired.....so so so tired.....i think it has been a long week for me.......but all is good...hehehe.....work is good.....and everything seems to be in place....which is good.... :):):)

saturday......went shopping.....phewww.....was so hot on sat......but....alright lah....bought some stuff.......and came home......wanted to do some reading....but ended up sewing the pants that i bought...HAHAHA....too long lah.....coz me being a "tall" gal....hehehehe...always gotta mend my pants lah....hehehe......then wanted to go church....but something happened.....so didnt manage to go church......too late lah....and didnt like the feeling of being late for God.....so....decided to go for the 11am service today..... :) which is the same sermon......then went for a drink with a friend.....and sorted some things......and yeah....all is good...prayed for each other.....and yeah.....was good......like a burden lifted off our backs i guess.........then celebrated yusike's bday....a cell mate from japan.....he is so funny.....he doesnt know his age....HAHAHAHA :D:D:D but all went well.....then came home.....then did QT.....and went to bed....

Yusike's 23rd/24th/25th Bday.....

At Makan Makan........

Great Sunday....at church.....

Good Sunday evening everyone.....

the week passed by very slowly last week......thursday night.....went out for dinner with a friend.....his bday......went for dinner and a drink....and had a good chat........then.....friday......work.....and had a great day at work......was really great.....my poor manager...had to go physio coz he injured his back......felt kinda bad for him......anyway......work went kinda well.....but was really really busy and abit stressed lah.....coz.....somehow.....was rushing to meet my personal target lah.....more of giving myself pressure....haha....coz....i wanna do better than what i am doing now.......so pushing myself a bit harder.....then friday night....met a high school friend....devina....gosh i havent seen her like for 7 years mann.......brought back loads of memories.....which is good.....and finally realised that i am kinda old liao....hahaha....but nemind...i am young at heart...... :):):).....went to uncle vincent's for dinner.....then headed to valentino's for coffee.....then finally went to utopia for a drink with mel.......i think i had overdose of bubble tea mann.......have been having it like the past few weeks mann....kinda sick of it....haha.....and worse thing is.....i am the kinda person....who doesnt really change my drinks......gosh....strawberry milk tea for the past few days.....past few weeks....nearly died.....but alright lah......

then saturday.....what happened yah....oh....did housework.....laundry......chatted with friends online......supposed to go do sports....but.....still not feeling tip top to do any......learnt a lot about relationships in a few hours.......hehehe....was having a sharing session with a friend.....about what he thinks about rships....etc etc.....hehhe....coz valentine's day coming...so this topic kinda just surfaced....hehehee.......

then.....wanted to go for coffee with a friend......then he suggested phantom of the opera....WHOOHOO!!!!.....finally someone is wililng to watch it with me.......it was all good......altho abit draggy....but the songs were nice.......enjoyed every part of it......but i pity my friend tho....coz i think he must be falling asleep....hahaha.......but i learnt something from the show as well.....forgiveness......shall not elaborate lah......but all in all...it was good.....reached home......washed up.......did qt.....prepared some stuff......and went to bed.....

today.....had a good time at church....had holy communion today.....although only sang two songs today.....but....the sermon ministered straight to me......pierced right into my heart......the message is about

being slow to get angry.....
1) dont take the bait.....(you have the choice to be offended or not)
2) play the movie......(think of the consequences before getting angry)
3) let grace invade your world.....(self explanatory)....hehhee

just thought i might share this with you all......also.....suggested to pastor......about a friend.....who is very passionate for god......to lead a cell...as our current cell is getting really big.......coz i have been getting suggestions from God that this friend of mine.....has passion and needs affirmation....and guess what? pastor shared the same sentiments as me!!!! :):):) so something good will be happening soon......praise god!!!!

then came home......started reading a book my friend lent me......tot i should read it quickly and return it to him......and when i started....i just went on and on.......as usual....being a bookworm...hahaha....but it's really great....i havent finished it yet.....but...its about brother yun....who actually went through the trials and tribulations in china when he was preaching the gospel.....being in a regimental country like china...running away from authorities....getting tortured in prison......etc etc...i havent finished it yet...but its good....it just makes me think what a comfy society we are living in....where we dont have to worry about anything when we share christ with people....but yet.....we dont do it.......it makes me think about how i can really make a difference to other people's life as well......it's really encouraging to know that in the midst of the snags....the believers there still actually held on strong to the beliefs......there were a few parts i read.....that actualyl brought tears to my eyes.......i think the first one was when he was just a teenager....and he just started to know about Christ....and he was longing for a bible.....and how he prayed for it....fasted for it.....just makes me think hey.....like......how passionate a person could be.......and what a lousy person i am.....(but no...i am not gonna think along those lines....am gonna think of how i can make it better instead of putting myself down...hehe)......yeah...the book is good.....give you guys the title....if you are keen to read...."The Heavenly Man......with Paul Hattaway"....there are lots more to share....maybe next time......but....i learnt a lot.....thru the one hour plus of reading that book....am going back to it in a while.....i am only 1/5 done with it.....getting back to it after this journal......

just came home from meeting a friend who will be flying back to melbourne later tonight......caught up over coffee.....and it was good......realised that we have mutual friends as well....hahaha.....and yeah....shared a bit of our lives in the past.....current.....church, cell, etc.......and got to know each other a bit.....overall was enjoyable...altho just a short time......more chances in future..... :):):)

anyway.....i guess the past few days have been a challenge for me....and i am glad i am back to normal again......all thanks to??? PRAYERS!!!!

something to share....when i was doing my QT last sun....

Exodus 23:1 You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness

- If you tell the truth the first time, you wont have anything to remember
- Truth extends honesty, if you're honest in your dealings, you never have to remember who you have cheated
- Truth extends encouragement. If you speak a positive truth about all people, you never have to avoid anyone
- Truth extends implication. If you refuse to give false impressions, you never feel the need to cover up
- If you refrain from twisting truth, you will never need to unravel a relationship gone awry

This is what i learnt from QT that night......and just wanted to share with everyone....the message is awesome......!!!!! Honesty is always the best policy....is always a good one hey??? hehehehe....so now learning to be more honest towards my own feelings......:):):)

Also.....i was a bit angry with my parents for somethings lah.....and this verse came along.....

Exodus 20:12 Honour your father and mother that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord is giving you

- very often parents make mistakes
- rather than criticise them, or blame them for their errors, we can choose to focus on what they did right
- in turning our attention to their positive qualities and deeds, no matter how small, we will find no difficulty giving them honour

finally....last one lah....dun fall asleep lah!!! ehehe...this is a good one too...just had been awesome...my qt!!!!

Matthew 23:11 But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant

- real success doesnt come in thinking you have arrived at a place where others should serve you, but you have arrived at a position where you can serve others.......

ok.....my sharing for the day...heheheh :D:D:D:D .....sorry lah...bore you all....but....err...just had to share with you all lah!!!! heheheeh.....i am just so grateful to God......for being with me throughout the days of my life....!!!!! just have to give Him some glory lah!!! hehehe....

okok...wun go on....hahaha.....

Sunday....lazed around at home....watching telly.....and.....watching a korean drama......and as usual......korean drama....always ends with the lead dying...somehow...it's a trend.....but it's meaningful.....a love story.....about a guy who cant get over his first love, and this gal whom he met later his life.....fell in love with him.....and she did all she could for him....(along those lines lah) but still unrequited love.....but.....after the first love got married, he decided to give it a try with the gal who fell in love with him....(which is bad of course...coz he didnt love her then, but wanted to try to love her).....then.....while with her.....still thinking of going back together with the first love.....(the first love also one kind lah....already got fiance.....still keeps looking him up).....then.....finally......the lead guy.....fell in love with the gal....and then.....the gal found out that she had leukemia....and didnt wanna be a burden to him....and then suggested a break off....blah blah....then the guy found out.....and regretted what he did to her....why he didnt love her with all his heart when she loved him with all her heart despite the rejection.....so he spent her last days with her.....but aiyah.....sien ah...!!!! in the end still died....*sigh*....and this silly gal here....cried until eyes like goldfish.....next day went to work.....people asked me what i did to my eyes....so just said....didnt sleep well...anyway....just sharing with you guys about what i watched and the lesson i learnt......LOVE THOSE AROUND YOU WHILE THEY ARE STILL ALIVE!!!!! SHOW THEM, AND IN FACT TELL THEM THAT YOU LOVE THEM....EACH AND EVERYDAY!!!!! YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW HOLDS!!!!! which is why....i ALWAYS end my messages.....to my parents.....with "I LOVE YOU".....

Australia Day

testing

testing testing 123

Saturday again.......WOOHOO!!!!!

Has been a long long week for me......work was alright in the beginning......towards the end....it got abit stressful.....but survived alright......praise God...... :):):)

Thursday went out with a friend to bubble tea.....and went to Koorong after that.....hmm.....they moved......but....spent quite a while there looking at books and was asking my friend to get a devotional bible where she can do her readings everyday......but we couldnt find a suitable one......but out of the blue....she told me....."shall we do bible study together?".....woohoo.....i was so happy to hear her saying that..... :):):) have been trying to get her to go cell....etc....but this is a good start!!!!! i also just found out that last time i was assigned to disciple her.....that was in 1999 i think.....haha....dun puke!!!!......she said we only had one session......and that's it......but...hmm.....i dun even remember that...but now i can recall a bit.......lisa was discipling me.....and lisa asked me to disciple her for me to grow...and for accountability as well......but anyway...history history.......so.....we are gonna start.....hopefully this week.......we are trying to get a few more people to do this bible study thingy......we'll see.....i also bought another book....."Believing God" by R.T Kendall....havent started reading yet....coz i just only finished the "Blessings and Curses" book.....gosh i am becoming a bookworm....but its alright....in the good way!!! anyway....i have always liked reading....heheh.....

Another thing is.....my friend was sharing with me about him currently reading the "The purpose driven life" by Rick Warren.....and i have been asking my galfriend to read it.....but she always said no no no......so when i shared with her that this friend is reading the book as well....and she can discuss the book with him.....she then said ok....she will read it.......so....i will be passing the book to her....since i have already finished......which is.....good isnt it??? i guess prayers really work wonders!!! would love to see her on fire again.....

the past few weeks...i have been talking alot of nonsense.....with people around me.....and i think everyone must be thinking i am abit off......as in one of my screws is loose....hahaha.....but am sure people who know me.....will know that my screw has never been tight....hehe *winks*.....but actually....the past few weeks have been kinda stressful for me.....have been keeping it inside for a while now.....and decided to share with you all.....please pray for me yah..... :(:(:( have been talking alot to mum lately......and found out that my parents are in their "cold war" mode AGAIN!!!!! and pretty serious....it has been nearly 2/3 months they havent been speaking to each other now......please pray for my parents......i think that is why i have been so emotional lately......*sigh*.....every little thing....tears will start collecting in my eyes.....HAMBAO/CRYBABY....hehehe....but.....please help pray for understanding....pray for peace.....pray for reconcilliation......pray for happiness.....pray for wisdom to handle disputes the way they should be handled......and most of all pray for love.....parents don't know that children are most affected when they dont get along.....and this has been going on since i was so so so so young......*sigh*

have been praying and thinking alot about staying here or going back.....and i think most likely i will be going back......coz i feel that probably there is not much reasons for me to stay here besides serving my PR......and of course growing in Christ here......maybe going back to spore/msia would be better off for me.....although my mum always tells me now....."don't come back.....you dont see anything, you wun feel any heartaches...." but they dont know deep down....how worried i am.....how depressed i feel when i hear of all those......so now.....have been just praying....for revelation....of where God wants me to be.....i seriously....dunno and will just leave it to God.....and the holy spirit for discernment......but from the bottom of my heart to the bottom of my toes......i prefer it here....hehe.....coz i feel that i can fully commit myself to the Lord here......spore.....its just work work work....weekends.....gotta spend time with family.......anyway...yeah...will just leave it to Him.....

Psalm 9:9-10
The Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble; And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, For you Lord have not forsaken those who seek You

Ok now...gotta get back to my happy mode.....coz i know that we choose to be happy or sad and how we want our day to be.....and must keep smiling....coz i think smiling moves alot of muscles on the face.....hehehe....and a smile takes all the worries away!!!! ......and i wanna choose to be happy..... :) i know the Lord will guide me....and be the light unto my path.....

Have a great weekend all!!!!!!

PS: In the photo...which of them look like me? I reckon the one in the middle....hehehe..... :) just thought i might put a photo....if not so boring......and a precious moments calendar i printed with lots of beautiful verses.....

HEY!!!!!

Hi Tong.....

It has been ages since i saw you!!!!!!!

Finally saw your pics!!!! Hehehe.......

How are you, where are you, what you doing now....etc etc....

Cheers!

Tuesday and Lynnie feels happy!!!!!

It was a good day at work today again.....happy....coz given opportunity to learn lots of new stuff at work......and i love learning new stuff.... :D:D:D am enjoying work so far.....hope it stays this way.....

hmm....last saturday....went for dimsum with my friends....and headed off to the bowling alley.....played 6 games.......gosh.....spent the whole afternoon there....but was good.....before that...after dimsum....walked to city.....went for bubble tea.....

went to church at night.....service was great!!!!! worship......was in tears....again...shucks mann.....am becoming a cry baby!!!!! had holy communion......in tears again......my goodness......think i drank too much water that day!!!! hahaha....i guess mainly coz i was with my friend.....and she burst into tears...and whenever i see someone cry.....i will cry too....dunno why...also mainly i could feel what she was feeling....coz i went through it myself......and dunno lah..........but it was really really good.....but after service......had a misunderstanding with a guy.....i feel that his attitude is very different towards me now.....i dunno if its because of something i have said prior to this......i dont remember saying or doing anything to him coz i hardly ever met him......it's really hurting when you talk to someone and he totally ignores what you say.....and worst thing is.....i repeated 3 times......the same sentence.....and i sorta got abit cheesed off......coz felt a bit like a fool repeating the same thing over and over again....to have the person walking beside you and not responding when he heard what you said.......oh well.....i have been trying to make things right for this friendship i have with him.....but....i guess its hard.....just gonna leave it to God......i know that if i have tried my best...god will do the rest...was a bit guilty for being pissed off too.....but as i prayed.....and read the bible this verse came to my attention "Psalm 4:4 Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed and be still"....but seriously speaking it hurts.....coz i shared alot with him......alot of how i felt....alot about my personal happenings...i really treated him as a very very good friend, as my brother......but i guess things change when certain things change....if anyone understands what i am saying.......if ignoring me makes him feel better.....then i guess.....just let it be....i will not force on anything......just feel a bit disappointed tho coz i really treasure friendships.....and of course i treasure my friendship with him........i feel as tho i have lost a friend in one night!....well.....life goes on.....i guess i just need to pray about it...and take things easy....reached home.....chatted with friends.....did QT and went to bed.......

sunday....got up pretty early as usual....its sad how i cant sleep on no matter how tired i am....i will definitely get up at 6/7am everyday...sometimes earlier...sigh......body gotten used to it i guess....did my laundry....vacuumed my room....cleared my room....changed my bed linen and realised something.....mum bought fitted set for me....and it couldnt fit my bed...and i went to buy another fitted set....it couldnt fit again....so....i finally found out that this current bed is longer than normal beds!!!! silly me!!!! and i dun really like using flat sheets....coz every morning when you make your bed.....you gotta adjust the flat sheet.....and i think i move alot when i sleep.....hahaha....so......guess everyone would know the outcome.....more work in the morning!......computer went bonkers again...managed to fix it.....then....headed straight to whaleback golf course for a few swings.....wasnt too bad.....still getting used to the set that i just bought.....after that....headed straight home.....online......surfed the net......rest......read the papers.....basically just lazed around.....which is good!!!!! i hardly see myself doing nothing......either on the comp......or doing something...or out.....its good to laze around after the long week.....and had a good weekend too....coz the last weekend....i was bed ridden.....had fever....and was in bed sat and sun...how pathetic!!!! but the one just went was GREAT!!!!

monday....worked.....nothing much....but started reading a book called "How to pass from curse to blessing" by Derek Prince.....i read this book last time when i was in singapore...but decided to read it again......its not too bad......book suggests that there are two forces that are at work in every life: blessings and curses and to really enjoy the benefits of God's blessings and be protected from curses, we need to understand how these forces work. Book generally teaches us how to identify curses at work and help to find release and God's blessings......paraphrased from the summary at the back of the book...haha.....

a friend also asked about going in to places like temples and pagodas and etc......so......sorta looked further into the bible.....to see if there are specific verses for that......and asked all the future pastors i know....HAHAHAA.....thanks for all the replies....greatly appreciated.....i feel that its really good to share any questions we have in mind.....coz....it doesnt only help yourself...it helps other people dwell deeper into the question too.... :):):)

woooooowww.....i think i should look into being a writer...i can really write alot....maybe that is why.....english literature was my fave sub in high school....hahaha.....shall type a stop here.....hope to have more "happening" happenings happening to me.....once again...sorry to bore anyone out there...

Thanks hens.....

Weekend again........

Thursday was fine.....went night shopping with a galfriend.....gosh....she can really shop.....if she rates 10......i am only like 3/4....hahaha....coz i am not much of a shopper.....i only shop when i need something....hehehe.....but....had a heart to heart talk with her......and shared a bit with her......coz she wasnt feeling too good about some things in her life.....about a rship......so just sorta told her to take it to the Lord.....and its good.....coz she also feels that God is convicting her..... :):):)

we then shopped and talked shopped and talked.....we even bought the same top....HAHAHAH.....so we shall wear it together one day......shopping with her is also very comical.....coz....errrr...nevermind....girl's talk....hahahah....but overall....it was good.......

Friday was great at work......although it was relatively busy at work.....as compared to Wed and Thu....but.....it was good.....

Had a bbq at my colleague's place after work....but went shopping with my colleague Wailing before heading off to Jade's place. Went to Harbour Town....gosh it was my first time there......i was under the coconut shell all these while....hahaha.....but was good.....I cant believe that i actually shared with her about cell and asking her to join us in cell.....frankly....i really couldnt believe that......but good that i did.....coz....she didnt turn me down....she said she would visit one day.....

went to colleague's house at forrestfield....gosh....its far! reached.....waited for the rest to reach.......had some baileys.....yummy my fave....hahaha......as usual......when a group of 15 people come together who work in the same office......the topic would be either people around office.....or...work.....so....it was hillarious.....and coz most of my colleagues are mostly aussies.......made it more comical when some of them were high and were talking nonsense.......i didnt stay too long tho.....coz.....errr.....i guess......i am tired/sleepy??? nah...just an excuse.......just a completely different setting for me......so i left pretty early.....

reached home.....felt sleepy......whenever i drink.....i would feel sleepy.....hahhaha......then showered......galfriend called.....and told me that she has ended the rship with the guy......and was feeling kinda bad......so chatted with her on the phone for nearly 1.5 huors??? i think.....she was sharing with me about what happened.....and what she felt upset about.....which is good....coz i think its much better than cooping everything inside.......then......as usual.....i am always full on nonsense.....so decided to move the topic to other stuffs......we have common friends......and i just mentioned silly stuffs like....."who knows you may end up with that guy"......."i am gonna message that guy and tell him, someone likes you....guess who....its XXXXX".......it was really funny.....coz she started to cheer up more......and joined me in my nonsense.....hahahaha.....she then started to say things i said....."someone likes you....guess who? its lean"......well.....its funny.....but the whole point is.......just didnt want her to think too much.....and i shared something with her before we ended our conversation........"Our heavenly Father never takes anything from His children unless He means to give them something better".....that was the comfort i hung on to.....when i broke off too.....so shared that with her.......

anyway....all in all.....was good.....glad that i left the bbq earlier.....and managed to spend some time with my friend on the phone.......i was so tired last night.......but......it was all worth it!!!!

i did my QT before going to bed......and God spoke to me again......which i didnt really comprehend last night....but now i do after thinking about what i read.....taken literally from the story in the bible, but can be applied to my life......
"Matthew 10:19-20 But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you"
.....i was reading what i typed prior to this....as well as the past journal entry about talking more of Christ to my mum.......and i realised that i have always been apprehensive.......and God just wants me to know that i do not need to worry at all, coz the words that would be out of my mouth.....wouldnt be words from me....but from Him!!!!! hmmm......when i do my quiet time....i realised that God speaks to me......and addresses the issues that i am facing in my daily life......which is so amazing....

Woooohhhh.....i didnt realise the time and the length i typed.....its nearly 10am now....and i am supposed to meet my friends for dimsum at 11am.....and this is yet another long entry....sorry to bore anyone.....

have a great weekend!!!! cheers!!!!

cell was good.....we had to go in pairs......and share about what we want to see ourselves doing this year.....so was sharing with fred.....he was sharing with me about his time with God and blah blha.....and felt very encouraged.....coz he told me that he normally wakes up earlier for QT......but i am the direct opposite....coz i do my QT before i go to sleep....so we were sharing about it......we were discussing if we should do it twice a day.....haha....morning and night......am quite comfy doing it at night.....coz i dream every night....and i find that before i sleep....i bury the word of God in me.....i have better sleep......i was trying to put worship leading in cell as one of fred's resolution hahaha.......and i believe God will use his talents......:) we then prayed for each other.......and joined with the rest......

then bday surprise.....talk talk and talk.....and we are now playing the angel and mortal game......and i got someone special for my mortal.......isnt it good??? wanna be a blessing to him!!!! :):):) was hoping i would get either him or another guy......:):):)

Gonna be a long long journal entry

7th Jan 2005.......

Today hasnt been too bad......shall start with last night......it was bad!!!!

Last night was a terrible night for me......after chatting with mum.....decided to call it a day....did QT and went straight to bed......logged off at about 930pm.......brushed my teeth and went to bed......fell asleep immediately after i closed my books.......then at about 1030pm.....got up......tossed and turned and tried my best to fall asleep again......couldnt sleep.....and my thoughts were focussed on so many things that I just couldnt sleep......so turned on the telly.....but head was already spinning like mad......had a terrible headache......then friend called, asked if wanna sell my car......so.......called mum and dad to discuss about buying a new car......both encouraged esp dad since he had long wanted me to get rid of my current car.....coz he said its too old and unsafe.....dun really wish to get a new one tho...coz i am not even sure if i will still be here in a year's time......but problem is....friend wants the car now....coz he is doing summer in curtin......dun think i can live without a car since i need it to get to work.....anyway......whole night......head spinning......decided to take my pain killer.....antidote called ponstan......and guess what? i thought i was moving out end of last year due to some household issues, but decided not to.....so i packed everything in boxes......and i couldnt find my medicine box!!!!! struggled and took out boxes to find......went downstairs to find....searched high and low.....and finally found it.....it was right in front of me....in the drawer....i could have banged the wall..!!!! took my medicine....and went to bed...thank God....i fell asleep......

got up this morning....feeling much better....wonder why the sudden headache last night......

at work today was alright......had a weekly review.....the one on tuesday was a monthly review......manager pleased, so i too had no complaints.....with telstra...its review review and review....every week......*sigh*

i normally listen to my cds while i am at work......i just love working with music on, it makes me work faster and more effectively......and for the last whole week, i have been listening to the hillsongs cd......i dont know what happened today.....while i was listening to the song "reaching for you" today.......tears just started rolling down my cheeks while i was in the midst of reviewing an account.....silly as it may sound....but i could feel Him so much......i think coz the whole night last night....i have been thinking about my life......what i could have done better.....how i have lived......the relationships i was in.....in fact.....i was feeling pretty terrible last night......i just felt so alone.....for those of you who dont know.....i just got out of a relationship of nearly 4 years about 4 months ago......i know that i have gotten over it......but somehow.....i dunno what was with me last night...i started thinking about everything that has happened in the past before.....(maybe that is why i got the splitting headache)......i think my stream of consciousness is a total mess now....cant really put what i wish to in words......

anyway....it has been one "thinking" day for me......i have been thinking about other stuff as well.....about whether i should stay here, or go back to msia/spore......its just something i cant straighten out......i miss my family...and i do want to be around my family......dad prefers me to be here....mum prefers me to go back.....but i know they will support every decision i make....coz they trust me alot......sigh......i know God will guide me.....my fave song used to be...."God will find a way, where there seems to be no way, He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me, He will be my guide, Hold me closely to His side, With love and strength for each new day, He will make a way!"......but as for now.....i dont know....its hard to make a decision.....was joking with mum that day.....if i end up with someone here....i will stay here...if i dont, i will go back......

Just wanna share with everyone how God has given me the strength to carry on in the darkest days of my life......I strongly believe, if i didnt seek comfort in Him when I was on the verge of drowning….err…..i don’t know where I will be now….i would probably end up back in msia…..am glad I didn’t…..coz I realised how much I have grown spiritually here……and I also believe that if I had gone home……all would be different again…..maybe not so much church going, and praying and reading of the Word and fellowship and music composition and the and goes on and on……

Another thing that I have been thinking about is what my friends in Singapore actually betted with me……3 of them……they all said that I will get attached within a year…….and the bet is that if I do get attached, I would have to treat them all 3 to a meal….and if they lost, they would each have to treat me once……I wouldn’t deny that I do like some people at the moment…..its not like "like" them and want to be with them kinda thing.....but more of wanting to know the person better coz find the person nice, encouraging and nice to talk to......and its definitely not because I want so much to be in a relationship……in fact, I feel very much happier now…..being single rocks…..but I guess….when it comes to liking someone, you cant really control it, can you? ……whatever it is, i told myself no matter what happens, I will NEVER go out with a non-Christian ever again……coz I guess the way of life, the way of thinking, and also the paths that we are seeking would be totally different……I have actually forgotten the feeling of being loved and to love.....coz people whom i love and love me are all far far away from me.……I know God loves me and i do too....…..i know my family loves me and i love them as well……but somehow…..i have just sort of forgotten the feeling…...cant remember......no i should tell myself......love is not based on feelings......haha......anyway.....i dont even know what i am talking about now......should think in a more positive light.....

Move on to other things in my thoughts…….i wish I had a close friend here in perth where I can share all my feelings/thoughts/happiness/sorrows with……I don’t know…..i thought I found a confidante in a person…..but I realised that to certain guys, if you cant be his girlfriend, you cant be good friends…….isnt it sad? Shared my ups and downs a lot with the person, and realised that he wanted more than just friends……but not something I wish to do…….anyway….i really wish I had just one good friend here……one will do…….*sigh......everyone....practically everyone tells me this...."Lean you are very strong....you are so independent....i admire your courage.....".....but deep down....i am only human.....and there is just so much i can bear.......i can feel tired i can feel lonely....i can feel happy....i can feel sad too.....i may look strong on the outside......but deep down......its as soft as jelly......

Phewww….i didn’t realise that I have written so much…..this is normally how I write my diary by the way…..shall type a stop here….and continue again some other time……its weekend again…..sports time again…… :):):)

PS: Photo of the 3 forever friends bear in my room……my companion when I feel scared/lonely/sad…etc…. hehe

First ever journal entry.......

Today, I read Dr Chand's entry......and he inspired me to make use of this "facility" to share too.....

It was a great day at work today.....was tranferred to the specialist team a month ago and had a review by my manager today......she is very pleased with my performance.....which made my day!!!!!

Have been trying to really learn tennis too.....but forgotten to bring back the tennis racquet......David mentioned yesterday that he would be dropping by in Singapore.....so asked him if he could help me bring back my racquet......he was kind enough to say yes..... :) and Raymond would be passing the racquet to him too.....coolness......

Past few weeks, have been trying to compose more songs......but only managed to complete one.....*sigh*......lotsa inspiration.....just that my brains refuse to cooperate......today listened to the songs by Diana Wee (Christian) again......her songs really touched my heart! http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/dianawee

And for once after donkey weeks/months, I cooked!!!! Simple meal, but the meal made me realise how much i miss my family!!!!! Eating alone is really no fun hey! And try eating alone every night.... :( prefer not to eat......Really miss my family loads.....I wish they were here with me......

Missing my friends too...miss the times we had....while i was back.....cow and coolies, plaza spura, starbucks, gosh....just miss miss and miss!!!!!

Look forward to my release from Perth Prison......

Good nite......

PS: A photo of me in my PJ......mum asked me to send her a photo.....so I took it using timer......ready to sleep.......
