A verse to share:



Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower, The righteous run to it and are safe



- no matter how bad a situation you're in now, or how rough the sea may be, hold on tight

- God will show you that nothing is impossible with Him

- He is your refuge and your strength!!!!!

arrive....and my niece and my sister they are both coming
too........just cant wait mann!!!!!



Hope this week will be a blessed week for all.....and i hope that this new job of mine.....i will enjoy......and do well......



God bless.....and take care!!!!!!

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..... :):):)
