Snail mails for the next few months.

Hi everybody!!
Am back with more astounding news:)

I will no longer be having internet nor landline as of today. It has got to do with the things I am left with after my current housemate shifts out because she is taking away my phone,modem and router. SO YEAPS! I am wireless literally:P

However I am ALL FOR snail mails, emails, txts* IF u wanna pay intl' fees:P* Hehe

MY house is kinda empty now..only left with a washing machine and some pails. It's such a feeling that I am glad I may have nothing much but I have the greatest person by my side- my Father in Heaven. Well, even if I am only left with God alone, it's the only thing that I need because I don't exactly seem to hold onto the tangible things as badly*compared to the past* AND YES! thank God for my new housemate's pots and pans, utensils, and cups. God provides and *Am believing for a double portion* when you choose to honour Him in all that u do, AMEN??!!

gotta go. so long~till i get internet..*If i ever do:P**HUGZ*

PS: I will still update my blog..but not that often yea:P
TAG your mailing address everybody!!! so if I have to send u mail..via snail mail..exciting to see letters in your box isn't it!!

"Over my head" Brian Littrell. You cover me.

I tried to figure it out
Time and time again and time again
I guess there's just some things I'll never understand
'Cause Your ways aren't our ways
But deep down in my soul, down in my soul
There is one thing I know that I know

I'm in over my head
Right where I wanna be
I'm so lost within Your love
The love that always covers me
So high, so deep, so wide
A strong and cleansing tide
My soul has found a place to rest
I'm in over my head

I've been holding on
Now I'm letting go, just letting go
Gonna let Your love carry me away
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm surrounded by the truth
And I can feel the current pulling me
Deeper into You

I'm in over my head
Right where I wanna be
I'm so lost within Your love
The love that always covers me
So high, so deep, so wide
A strong and cleansing tide
My soul has found a place to rest
I'm in over my head

You see me for who I am
You did reach out Your hand
You made me understand
That Your love has always covered me

Vi to God: Father, I just want to give thanks to you. That you saved me from my past, that you saved me from the vengeful spirit, that you saved me from the pits of hell, that you saved me from my sorrows, pain,hurts,betrayals especially of people whom so thought I knew them. And because you saved me- I could lead a new life. A life that does not need to thrive on striving, a life that does not need to thrive on earning good works, a life that does not need to fear of what people might say or criticize, a life that does not need to please men, a life that does not seek revenge nor advocation of my "given" rights, a life that I can freely live without a qualm about what may come tomorrow because I am living it for you. Just like the song- time and time again, I tried to understand. Isaiah 55:8-9 "My thoughts are completely different from yours", says the Lord. " And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than yours." then deep down I am convinced that perhaps all you ever asked from us is a dependence on you and not to worry about anything. Father, thank you for loving me. That is the greatest gift I could ever received from you:)

Pray for me

Hey fellow brothers and sisters in Christ!

I figured out I can't send a mass email because I always get punked by the server so I decided to post a blogpost to call for a time of prayer.

I can't really explain to you the situation I am in but all I ask for is with your prophetic ministry skills, pray for me. Health, studies, relationships...I sense that I am kinda trapped in a lot of situations that are really faith testing, integrity testing and might be detrimental to my career.

Well, I didn't realise the gravity of issues until my good pals highlighted to me about how my character of being perhaps nonchalant/indifferent has caused unnecessary misunderstandings- which I can't control people's reactions and their choice of words about my behaviour. However, I am believing that my God is my hope that will not disappoint and He will be my vindicator.

I remembered P.Gary giving me a note saying that human beings are not perfect..and so am I. If anyone has caused distress to you or has come to accuse you of anything that has happened to them- just forgive. Because we are all imperfect creatures that we should we give each other some slack.

All I want to say-*speechless* Let my God do the talking:)
P.U.S.H= pray until something happens.:)

When I had too many questions on my mind.

Hm.
Bleahz.
This is what happens when you have too many questions on your mind. You don't know where to start from:)

The weekend was pretty interesting. It had its ups and downs. Like, without Jees and/or skype, I think i will still stay at strumming the same rate.LOL- Jees, must pray for me that God will come and visit me when I hit the strings, hit the bed and the songbooks.
I met up with Kah Fei( not the one from IGNYTE) my cousin cuz he's flying to Singapore in 3 days time. Why is everybody flying:( He's so excited because he can finally return to his homeland of food and eat his daily dosage of PRATA!!!:( i want prata. hahaha- tissue prata, plaster, egg, egg and onion. *sobz*

visited May ku ma and family and had a chitchat session as well. Ah qiong drove me to town cuz I had to meet someone for dinner. *erhem* hahah..waited till I felt so constipated but I can't go. But I must be appreciative because this person has got me a decent dinner at the revolving Sydney Sky Tower, 360 Bar and dining with a mesmerizing view of Sydney city. THANK YOU!!!*smiles brightly*But you could just imagine with me.. Star city, Darling Harbour, Harbour bridge and part of the opera house with thousands of " candle light" flickering and nice cruise ships passing by..pretty ah? We got quite amused with the lights in the restaurant because we cannot see anything on the menu and we got to grab those mushroom headlights. I didnt take pictures because it was so dark and I didnt know I was going there for dinner.:/ haha. The brownie is NICE..and so is the apple souffle pie. Ah~ I was asked to find apple bits in the custard ( when they were non existent by the touch of my tongue) because I could not finish it. Got kinda amused with that request and got the person who asked me to do so to do it too~ So did he find any apple bits? NO.

Should go there again..when I have the money.hahahah~

Exams are coming. Gonna camp full time in the library..almost full time. As for blogging... I might disappear away for a day or two..or a week..hm.

PS: It was not one of the best weeks around. History repeats itself to a point of disgust at times. I just pray that no more infering and no more backstabbing will happen again.

Floriade 2007-Canberra and Parliament House

one of my random posts during my studying time- was getting bored with packing my notes:P

Floriade is an annual floral event organised by the state of Canberra, attracting thousands of visitors every year. Avid photographers, families and couples flock to Canberra to catch the evidence of arrival of Spring in the state and bask in the sea of tulips, pansies and daffodils and many more floral kinds~

We decided to pick a trip up on our own and got discounted tickets..LOL:) Shirlynn, Shirleen, Casey and I took the 0800 h bus up to Canberra and boy~ I never saw so many flowers in my life:) hee+ My favourite is sunflower but I grew to like white
tulips and lilies somehow... I like the sunny flower because it makes

me smile..its big face just reminds me of smiling no matter how bad the day is!! Hm..maybe another criteria for my future husband- must not be allergic to pollen..LOL.

I wanted to buy flowers badly but they did not sell the kinds I wanted to get. Am looking forward to get some flowers for the weekend hopefully because I need to get some uplifting moments for the week:/
The Floriade had different themes like surf.sea.sand, sports craze, the musician and whole loads of interesting icons of the Australian nation.

We headed to the gorgeous fountain and we saw a rainbow!! I really admire those who stay near there-daily reminder of God's faithfulness at your window. how cool is that!

The Parliament House, past and present, interestingly were situated facing each other. The present PH is built such that the people can go to the roof top and "walk over" the top of the House. I suppose it's a symbolic representation of how the government can have their people climbing over them.

I gave some thought when I saw the past and present PH facing each other- pardon me if I think too much at times- but I felt that people tend to look back at the glorious past or successes in what they have done, trying to formulate the same method, not realising that times have changed and evolved- the past may serve as a lesson but not as a replica for solving current problems.

Hm..food for thought~

Santa came early~

Christmas is only coming in like 2 months' time but I think Santa came a little early this year- there you saw the two things that got highlighted in my wish list.. I got both within a week. Santa must be working overtime this year because he's afraid that he will finish giving in time.I think~

Hopefully the rest will come to reality soon:)

PS: Santa is a fictitious character.

I saw him and his guitar? Is he the one?

Jees, now that you are not around to teach me guitar..I need someone to show me new stunts..LOL

I thought I found one.. but yesterday's encounter somehow told me it's not possible.

Haiz~

It's all dependence on my Father in Heaven to anoint those teeny fingers and poor sense of rhythm to create miracle playings~


Praying for doors open to find the one.

guitar-TWANG~ new receipes

hehe..Guitar playing has been progressing, I can finally sing and play at the same time..LOL!!( yes Jees!! ) Hm.but I need to move from my current playlists and my strumming. I need to start learning how to pluck and strum and well.. be better:) for Jesus.

Maybe when I get better, I will just video myself..LOL.

I have learnt to make my own meatballs!!! yea..handmade ones~hee. I started on my receipes for my Cocoa crackles- i named it pok pok because of the crunchy sound it has. I am making a new flavour this week and will post it on if i remember. Gonna start on my pineapple banana cake later! been waiting to bake the cake for so long..hee+ and soon i shall endeavour to be able to open a mobile cake shop when i return to Singapore..hahaha+ Membership is up for grabs.. so if u have VIP i will give you good discounts and freebies..LOL

alrightey..gotta go bath and bake cake.. woosh!

I chose to give them a chance.

On the Saturday that just passed, I went down to the Reibby Juvenile Justice Centre to spend a day with the boys playing touch footy. RJJC is at campbelltown and keeps the boys off streets after they have kinda break the law from petty to serious crimes.

I went with my mates from church and it was really interesting to see so many nationalities coming together to go have some fun and at the same time be a blessing to these guys in Reibby. It was a really long drive(1.5 to 2 hrs) up from Sydney city to Campbelltown. I took Brian's car with Debra behind and I think we were all about to fall asleep when we finally reached the place.

We had a game or two with the high school age boys. I am really amazed at these boys. Yea, they are people who broke the law but I see how they are quite shy when talking to us. In fact, the guys are really polite and they will really gentlemen. I never play touch footy before in my entire life but they didnt really mind. Some of them even asked their friends to pass the ball to the girls so we can have a run to score a try.

Although it was only 2 shorts hours and we did not really do much talking, but being with them just opened my eyes to the inside world of a juvenile centre and it really started making me think what could have caused them to commit crimes when they really seem harmful people.
Some of the guys were really apprehensive in talkin to us- maybe as much as the society is afraid of them, they are too afraid of us. The lady chaplain, Lee, told us that many of them are really fearful of returning back to the community, so much so that they did not want to leave. These boys doesn't have visitors and I think when I made a choice to go there, I would most probably be the few people they know from the outside community besides the wardens and their teachers. How can you not be fearful when that's all you know about the outside world? They have televisions and games, classes..but that's not all about it. The people out there, might be the greatest hurdle they will meet when they leave the centre. I was really touched when they gave me the ball and ask me to run for the try. Trust me, all of them can run so fast you can't even smell the whiff of their fart..LOL. just kidd~I suppose that they will want us to give them a chance as well, just as much as they have given us on the field.
Many of them did not choose to be born into the families they grew up in, the community that they live in. It's ironic that how much the society has progressed yet relegated/forgotten about the many poor families that these children come from-perhaps we should do our part instead of blaming their community and parents. And when are you too consumed with the worries of your life, think again. I know I have God with me but these guys, many of them don't even know where they are heading after they leave the centre- are you just like them, aimless about the days ahead of you?

Recaps~

It's yet another week in Australia. School's ending in another 2 weeks and I apologize for missing you guys out in sharing my mini travels and excitements in the weeks after my blue mountains trip. That's about 2 weeks i think.hmmm...

Facebook~

Ehlo everybody!!

School term just started after two weeks of running, walking, tramping around Syndey. Shall post the pictures of the tours I had. I suppose that this birthday I had was the most eventful one because I had been to so many places- more than my 3 months here before I ventured out with Cai to see Sydney.

School's back with more assignments- 3 to hand in, 2 for take home exams and a written one for value law and ethics for health care professionals.:P
In fact, exams are gonna end on the 15th November and I am planning to have a pyjamas party on the 16th November..LOL. Well, that might be the last one because my other housemate has decided that she will shift out because she is not comfortable having strangers living with her( well, I wanted to get people in so it will not be so expensive to handle the rent). Yeaps! so..PJ PARTY!! entrance only for girls.LOL...

After that, my mother, brother and Stefanie are coming over for 2 weeks. Exciting 2 weeks..have kinda ran around Sydney to check out what good scenic places to view and the yummy places to whack. woohoo~

I have gotten myself kinda partially hooked onto facebook. hehe+ so you guys can add me..i think i put my full name ..LOL LIM FENG YU VIVIAN..yea that's my search name...
