During our leader's camp, Eelin told us to step forward and leave the past behind. Alot of times, it's not God who has to release us from the past, but ourselves.

I've finally crossed the line. I just think it's good to be careful with who you mix with. I've learnt to choose my friends wisely, and stay away from those who will stumble. You know in sc and hc, quality friends are abundant and real, I never had to worry about who I befriend. haha.

ding ding- I'm here at Monash for a purpose, and I'm really quite happy here!! :)

I think it's because this year, I've chosen not to hide in my shell, but to go out of the way to make friends!!:) It's been cool so far. It's great to meet people from so many different countries and walks of life! Justin and I just finished walking around Monash college, randomly talking to the 'kids'..inviting them for OCF haha.

We had Global Friendship night on Monday, where people can just come and chill (and sing out of tune during karaoke, why can't they make an effort? hahaha kidding, they're really funny). Exchanged numbers with 3 people, it's fun. The girls just ask for your number and all:)

Josh, Jenny and I watched Notes on a Scandal yesterday at Glen. It's a really abstract movie! Quite disturbing, in my opinion. haha. Josh reminded me not to talk to strangers anymore, cos that's one of my interesting little hobbies haha. yar, I won't talk to older women I guess, after watching the show. ;)

and Deb! Come soon lar. :)

"He makes all things beautiful, in His time"

eek the weather's so hot. I'm wearing this long sleeve top now, should've checked the weather before stepping out.

anw! we're back to our house now, after 3 weeks at the Chang's with tessa the dog. :)

first day of uni, pretty good..made a few friends and met up with some old ones:) This sem's gonna be pretty busy, structured studying and fun. Every single day's gotta be planned ahead. haha.

So yeah, won't be posting too often. Gotta read Crimes Act later and my Physiology & Immunology notes. haha, one thing. I attended the Phy and Imm lects, and my heart is beating again!! Away from the general boring science, finally!:)

Going for global friendship night tonight. Chilling out with freshies I think. should be good fun:)

taa and take care everyone:)

I've asked Ms Stella ShuQing to help me buy this:




or this 0.6L one:



Aren't the plain ones nicer? :) -crosses fingers:)

I still miss the one I had for a few weeks in J1..haha. Felt so bad losing it in the audi cos it was one of the nicest pressies ever! :)

hello everyone! are you all having a great CNY? :)

sorry i havent been updating, have been staying at my fren's place for a while, so not very nice to use their limited internet access:)

so ive been happily reading books- mysteries in africa, learning more about their culture. 5 books in all. plus many dvds. minority report's (forgive me, im slow) pretty good haha. and enemy of the state. and of course, john grisham's pelican brief is as predictable as sea colour.

anyway, for vday, i met tong shuk in!! :) my date:) at chili pada, where i also met jess koh!:) anw, so we caught up and man, we have moved on (in reference to ex-classmates) etc. which i think is good, albeit too fast;) oh well, we're not young anymore i suppose.

after which, jie and i went to huili's house to bake pineapple tarts with andrew. and alot of boy-hungry-taggers. so yeah, that was fun! haha. it turned out pretty okay, i must say, for a first timer.

for cny, we went to the distant cousin's place (hey deb!!) as usual. played poker (much inspiration after winning all at hauwei's place) and sparklers!! :)

shuk in and nicholas lim frm megalife came to 1045 yest! so happy..MICH YOU HAVE CITY FRENS!! they're coming next week but jie and i cant make it, so mich, you must orientate them! dad's fetching them from blackburn/glen station, so you can get a lift too if you need okay? :) im glad they liked it. :)

church yest was good! although kian wei suddenly backed out due to fiona's contractions haha. but no, the birth was not yest. still waiting..and waiting..:) but it was nice talking to the newbies too. i talked to 3 ppl in all, and 2 of them teared while sharing parts of their lives with me. it's either the cny blues overseas, or just talking to a nice and warm stranger hehe;) but adding value to others, was what pak ken inspired us to do this cny.

okay, you must be bored now, so i'll post pics whenever i can. seems to be my fav phrase huh! i missed the premier of ugly betty cos i was at church. oh well. sch's starting soon, so i'll have no time for teevee.

eh im at the law lib waiting for some pp, why are they late? -_-

new resolution of the semester: i will do well in crim law:)

taaaa:)

Pictures of us when we were young, enjoy!:)


The four of us, together forever:)


I love my jie jie!:)

shuk: shukie shuk shuk, read your tag and I reeeaaallly want that red sigg bottie:) hehe. love and I'm sure 2007 melbourne will be much better:)

hy: thanks sweetie:) big hugs. you must meet deb soon lah, so disappointed in you both. btw, do you have ear holes? haha.

lyn: haha thanks! I think that's true. Just love who you are at whatever stage you're at:) thanks for all the advice, it's nice having an aunt around!! ;) love-- :)

debo: haha true true. huh! that's scarier haha. oh well, I must call/e-mail you or something..then can share more privately. I miss you! :) okay, those are georgous shoes. You should market them to converse/nike. I'm serious. haha.

chan: !?!? cherie right? haha. you're the only one who uses 'pal'. and unfortunately the only one who still thinks I'm childish, right right? hahaha. okay okay, I'll just be myself haha. :) love you too (if you're cherie). :)

____________________

I'm at one of my daddy's fren's place in Mulgrave..cut the long story short, my sis and I are here for 2 weeks. I've been fighting the battle with their hyper yet I must add, rather adorable half-poodle, with battle scars to show for. haha fine, you know I'm not that into little puppies.

Anyway, Fiona's baby shower's (Deb, finally!) this wednesday, so sis and I are staying over tomorrow night. Doc says baby may come out any time now, so I do hope I'll be there for the action, somehow. haha. I think I might just panic and call 995, which obviously doesn't work here. haha, can't wait though. I might just adopt her as my god-neice or something. haha.

Whatever the case is, I think I'll be taking some advice to sit and pray before I make more decisions. This will lead to better direction and purpose, so that I don't lose focus or energy along the way. :)

Last night, I dreamt I was in Singapore taking the bus home. Trusty ole' good buses. :)

SHOUTOUT: Check out DEB's blog with pictures of her designer shoes. $30 bucks for the design, terms and conditions apply. :)

Alot of times I don't pray nor analyse fully, the responsibilities that come with roles. Someone said burnout happens not when you're tired, but because you don't feel appreciated. Then the focus seems a little out of place, if that's the case.

Sometimes I wonder how I'm ever going to grow up.

2007 seems like it's coming too fast, too soon.
