hello people.i haven been blogging.

but today, i am going to share with you funny pictures i saw at engrish.com.

real funny.

you would really want to be catious about dropping down.
i am sorry to argue with you sir, but how can i buy a used tissue?!
so, do i go in or not?
you sure you want to go in to this shop? you might get beaten up by the 'hitman'.

this place sucks. lets go somewhere else.


hey. dont abuse the plastic bags. wait. how do you do that?!

try getting a bucket of water.

aim well guys.

yeah! beware of safety. lets be dangerous!

unfairness in the world is so real. have you gone through one?

yesterday's class, my lecturer told me how unfair the world can be.
If you go for an interview, you would want to go and dress nicely so that you can present yourself well. If it is mostly americans, then you would want to dress more american-ish. If it is more english, then you would want to dress more english like. you wouldn't want to dress to formal becoz it would probably shows that you are proud. and at the same time, you wouldn't want to dress so humbly that it would downgrade your status.

well... today i experienced a glipse of unfairness. The one who told me about unfairness, is the one who showed me unfairness. And that is my lecturer.

My team did a project. When we got back our reply forms, we are so happy that we got an A. How great that is. An A! But we couldn't read her feedbacks. So, after class we went to ask her. Guess what, after she read, she hold both my other two team-mates hands and ask them wether they put in a lot of effort. I was like... what am i? Am i invicible?
Then she carry on, congratulating them and tell them they should continue in marketing and stuff like that. My bro and i was like... us?
YEAH!!! I know! we got an A! SO WHAT?! where's my glory?
don't sound as if i didn't do my work. don't sound as if i never put in my effort. I DID!!!
What am i? Some weirdos who got recruited to a team and just be there to drink tea and let the others do the job?

To this lecturer, i am really happy to have you as my marketing lecturer. Really happy. You have a great personality. You are a very interesting person. And i really like that about you. However, this was the fall of it. The dissapointment of everything. I hope not to hear sorries and apologies, but i want you to know, I DID MY WORK!!! MY BROTHER DID HIS WORK!!! THILINA DID HIS WORK TOO!!! We all did our work. And i really hope that the glory can be equally given to everyone.

Maybe, this is another testing from the Lord. To tell me that the world is so unfair. Yes LC, you've got what you want. You've taught the most ultimate lesson ever. UNFAIRNESS.

hello... its been i think... erm... 2 months since i blog. haha.
what happen to me the last 2 months...i had one month of holiday from september. and i start school on october 1st.
In september, i went to China, Macau, and Hong Kong for about a wk.
My plane stopped at Macau and then straight go to Guangzhou. Then stay there for a while and go to Hong Kong. And back to Macau on the last day. But before the day end, we went back to guangzhou to buy stuff. Haha. Anyway, I will update this next time bah...
Well... today, I got a present from a very good friend in church. Its for my birthday. Really rather advance birthday present.
She got me chocolates.
I think i was rather selfish not to share, but i really dun want to share with anyone else. Haha.
I ate it all at one go.
I really like it coz the chocoates were rather bitter. Its bitter-sweet. Then i was reminded of something call friendship.
Friendship can sometimes be bitter; sometimes sweet. Well, i hope the aftertaste is all it is.
LaiYing, I want to tell you how much i want to thank the Lord that He had set you aside for me to be friends.
I really appreciate our friendship. And as long as we are together with the Lord, our friendship will be everlasting. Even till the end time of the earth. Our friendship will still continue in heaven, last forever and ever. Praise the LORD!!!
Yesterday, my family and I went to Malaysia to watch a midnight movie. Haha. Why neh? so many ask.... cheap lorh, what else. Haha. We watched Resident Evil. Rather nice. But got shocked not at the really shocking parts. But because of the extra loud surrounding sound in the theatre. Louder than Singapore's. Trust me.... My brother say i kicked his chair when i got shocked. wahahahahaha.....
I shall wait for the 22nd....
Come What May!!!

"Blessed be the LORD;
Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him."
Psalm 28:6-7

its been slightly more than one week of Si Qiu's death.
definitely we miss his presence in the church. however, we are proud that he has finished what he has to be done on earth.

"I have fought the good fight.
I have finished the race.
I have kept the faith."
2 Timothy 4:7

When i read this passage again, i felt that this is a great challenge to me. To fight well in the battle of sin, to finish my race in life, and finally to keep my faith. To do so many things, and to do well is always a challenge to anyone, but especially to me. I have to admit i am lazy.

So what?

DON'T BE LAZY!!!

what can i do then? oh well... cultivate myself not to be so lazy, pushing myself in the race.

That was one thought. Another thought, is that i remember of Si Qiu. Like i always say, when God take him home, he has finished his race, fought the good fight, and definitely kept his faith.

Sigh... I wonder in the end, what will become of me. There's this song, I think all dead people like to sing to us... LOL.


FIND US FAITHFUL

We're pilgrims of the journey of the narrow road,
And those who've gone before us line the way.
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary,
Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace.

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
Let us run the race not only for the prize,
But as those who've gone before us, let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives.

Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful,
May the fire of our devotion light their way.
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe,
And their lives we live inspire them to obey.
Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful.

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone,
And our children sift through all we've left behind,
May the clues that they discover and the mem'ries they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find.

Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful,
May the fire of our devotion light their way,
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe,
And the lives we live inspire them to obey.
Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful.



(P.S. When it says "After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone" It actually means, when we die. Then the children, the next generation, would be impacted of things in our lives, testament for God. Then with all the different memories and clues, it is our hope that it would lead them to God in the rightful way.)

O rejoice in the LORD
He make no mistake
He knoweth the end of each path that I take
For when I am tried and purified
I shall come forth as gold


I was doing my exam paper today and I remember these words that were sang at the vigil.
The vigil service had over 800 people. The most I had ever seen. It shows how well respected he is.
Pastor said these words, ' A man can live 3 times as much as Si Qiu did, but not gain as much respect than he had.'
And i cried. These words were carved in my heart. The song was repeating over and over again.
I started crying in the middle of the exams.


I remembered that morning, I felt weird as it was raining. As though things were going too smooth and something would happen, like that day my grandma pass away.
We were celebrating our 34th anniversary, and the occassion was so happy.
Then, the news was told to us. I was shocked and not believing that Si Qiu has passed away.
The next 5 minutes was no reaction. Then, unknowingly, my tears just flowed at the lost of a friend.
Thoughts came into my mind where God has a plan for everything. And this became a wake up call for everything in life.
A bad note to start the 35th year. But a good lesson to learn.
It may be a bad loss, but Si Qiu's purpose of living has been finished. So he has gone home to be with the Lord.


The song below gives me a lot of encouragement. But now I sing it, I would remember Si Qiu.
May this song comforts all hearts, and to Uncle, Auntie and Si Yu, God has a plan for all of us. Si Qiu has finished his race. He fight the good fight, and had won the prize. Now, he is up there, watching us, continue running in our race of life. He is a good runner, a good fighter. To friends of Si Qiu, you may be comrades in the army, or a family in church, or a brother or sister in Christ, always remember that Si Qiu has touched your heart. Change for the better. Have him as an example. And though it may be sad, always remember what good thing has Si Qiu left for you. No matter is his lessons in camps, or his smiles, every single thing, remember it.

This song is for everyone who is in need.



O Rejoice In The Lord

God never moves without purpose or plan
When trying His servant and moulding a man
Give thanks to the Lord though your testings seem long
In darkness He giveth a song


O rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake
He knoweth the end of each path that I take
For when I am tried and purified
I shall come forth as gold


I could not see through the shadows ahead
So I looked at the cross of my Saviour instead
I bowed to the will of the Master that day
Then peace came and tears fled away

O rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake
He knoweth the end of each path that I take
For when I am tried and purified
I shall come forth as gold

Now I can see testing comes from above
God strengthens His children and purges in love
My Father knows best and I trust in His care
Through purging more fruit I will bear

O rejoice in the Lord
He makes no mistake
He knoweth the end of each path that I take
For when I am tried and purified
I shall come forth as gold

"according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing i shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Chris will be magnified in my body, wether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Phil 1:20 - 21

In memory of Captain Ho Si Qiu, a faithful servant of God, and a brother in Christ.

What a great lesson, LORD, to magnify Your name even in difficult times.
You have brought home Si Qiu, and at the same time, made us all learn to love you, to treasure people, and to even magnify Your name in these circumstances.

I don't want to shed a tear of grieve. Not to Si Qiu, that he has gone. But to Si Qiu, that i am joyful that you are with the LORD.

Be joyful, my friends and family of Si Qiu. Because the LORD has brought Si Qiu to his care and protection, and that he will never ever anymore suffer in the evil grasp of the world.

One lesson i have learned from you, Si Qiu, is to smile. Smile widely, and having the joy and happiness in God. I want too, to smile widely, and spread it across to everyone around me. And you, have affected me too.

Si Qiu, see you in heaven one day. And then, we shall worship the LORD together as friends and family again.


In rememberance of my dear friend, Ho Si Qiu. 26 August 2007, Sunday.

aha!!! this is such a long time since i blog.
it's my last week of holiday.
i pass my exams. rather happy.
coz i totally didn't know how to do my exam papers. they say there was much moderation done.
sigh~~~ it feels like i have been cheated because i know that is not really my results...
what a failure.

oh~ and junior camp was fun.
but it was also tiring. coz we had lotsa cleaning to do on my first day.
starting from 7 everyday, its been like nonstop work, nonstop cleaning.
but i did have some naps in between. totally no energy to carry on when i don't have the sleep.
but though, GOD also gave me lots of strength to face everyday.... with a smile.

after junior camp, which is now, i am helping my parents in their business.
my uncle is not free though... he went to reservist. which is good news. he needs the exercise.
he is getting fatter and more.... temperate.
well... without him there, and us helping, the place seems more peaceful. and also make me less busy.
because he is kinda irritating though~~~
but... actually i am more busy than yesterday. and plus.... i get more bruises.
i am rather clumsy. i got cuts and bruise... in total, 7.
and imagine.... i have 5 more days to continue...
i would get 35 more cuts and bruises....
and in total, 42!!!
ouch!!! my body!!!

but helping my mother is rather a good experience.
i get to learn many types of thing.
and i told my mum, 'teach me all your stuff, how you differentiate the durians, how you choose them, how you see them. then next time i will stand infront and sell. then you would have time to eat dinner.'
but i kinda think that i wouldn't want to take over the business.
my parents kinda wish there would be someone to take over the business, but actually in fact, they also know that none of us want to. and they want us to choose our path.
they are rather open too.
but thinking of so many things.... i kinda waiver.

well.... i have some more years to think.
long time to think.
maybe after i study my diploma, i decided to continue my studies and work somewhere else.
afterall, i wish to work overseas, and also want to become a big shot when i am older.... like being a CEO of some large company.
probably microsoft... lol.

oh~ and i also realise, i prefer to eat XO durians than Butter durians.
XO durians have a stronger smell than Butter. It is much more bitter than Butter. It is super soft. It is white flesh. It is so bitter that it kinda have some XO taste as well.
Butter durians have a range of very wet (means soft) and rather dry (means lotsa fibre). it is not as bitter as XO. It is not as soft as XO. XO durians are... when you take, you have to be super becareful because it will kinda slip of your fingers if you never take carefully. and that your fingers will sink into the flesh and eventually find yourself touching the seed. Butter durians are more firm than XO. the skin of the Butter is hmm~~~ good!!
But i prefer XO because the eating method is very much different. It's kinda like.... eating the dragon beard sweet. its like melt-in-your-mouth type. But i don't want to offer XO durians for those who doesn't like bitter and soft durians. I would recommend Butter durians instead. :)

oh well... just to tell ya... i am eating durians now. hehe.

anyway, i have been really down because of so many things.
i have been already giving you all clues after clues, yet u all know nothing.
and yet you all have been hurting me again and again.
and i have tried to ignore, yet things are still getting to me,
like adding on layers of books on my shoulders for me to carry.
how can i afford to let you all know the thruth that really hurts you all?
you all are my precious.
there are so many times where i want to tell all of you. but why must you all reject me?
why must you all push me to the corner of the wall?
why must you all put me in darkness, yet being seen but is just something insignificant.
pricks. painful. why me?

oh man... i am feeling so lousy now. i am sick.
down with flu.
thanks God, that eventhough i had sore throat last week, during the easter week, my voice isn affected. so i can sing. and then so immediately la. on this fateful day after all the crucial singing, i am sick. haha.
oh well... God, You rockz! lol.

this easter week was good for me. its also the first week of school.
on thursday its the maundy thursday service. then friday is concert. and saturday is concert as well. then sunday is easter lunch. a whole trail of 'work'. haha.
its really fun, practising and singing together, worshipping the LORD. i feel like we are in heaven and singing and worshipping the LORD.

last monday, which is the start of my sch, my sister flew to perth. to pack her stuff and go for camp. she's gonna come back on my bro's birthday, 13 april. haha. cool siah! come back on time.

school is quite fun actually. i like the lecturers, for both english and MPO. not MATH!!! terrible. the lecturer is more boring than mrs tay. haha.
even i am tired, i will not sleep at MPO and english. but math, almost!

oh, and last night, my parents flew to perth. to join my sister in the camp. and then they going for 10 days. they say they gonna die there la. and i agree. the last time i went for 10 days too, i also almost hang up already. haha.

and i really need to rest now. have sch tmr. and besides, my nose is so red after all the sneezing and rubbing, i need a rest too. irritating nose. when i was having my afternoon nap, my nose start to on the tap. idoit.

alrightie. nite nite

i have like so much time now so i keep posting.
i would be busy from now on.

tommorow i have orientation, then np camp.
then on saturday i will have choir and rehearsal.
sunday, rehearsal again.
and then next week start school.
sigh.... things are getting more and more buzzy here.

more and more practices for easter concert is coming up.
oh well, its good because then i would be more and more familiarised with all the actions and my parts.
i hope to bring my friends, but they would be busy and they will also decline my offer.

with more practices coming up, i have to forsake so many other things.
i am still thinking wether i want to go to np camp.
i tell myself, i have nothing to do with np anymore. so might as well dun go. but then yun wants me to accompany her, so i say ok lorh.
oh well, this would be the first and the last time i would come back as an ex-nco for the camp. and after all these, i would not want to do anything with np anymore other than memories.

alright. i will start let go of everything and pick up more of other things.
lets get it right. everything is bad things and also of the things i dun want to let go. and to pick up new things is to walk in the spirit in christ. so must learn la.
so muz jia you lorh!

jia you!

have anyone written your own fairy tale, with you, yourself as the main character?

fairy tales
they are myths and give one a sense of happiness in reading, hence, its call fairy tales.
it's because these stories would never happen hence, people write them.

fairy tales like cinderella, snow white, and 3 little pigs, gives a happy ending. which fairy tales gives a sad ending.

shows nowadays are like another version of the fairy tale. even to the bad side of it, it gives a sense of happiness, it just wether you choose to look the brighter side. in times of hardship, fairy tales are the best to be written down because it gives a relief and hope to them.

do you believe in this world there is a happy ever after?
you ask me, i would say yes.
in this world, things will vanish one day.
dust to dust, ashes to ashes.
our souls will then either go to heaven or hell, happiness or suffer.
but my believe in the happy ever after is not earthly, but heavenly.
when i die, that is the happy ever after.

my fairy tale story is then...
what is yours?

you are my joy and my pain;
my rest and noise;
my love and my hate.

you made me happy to high skies,
yet you drop me to lower grounds.
you made promises with joy,
yet break them with a smile.

you dissapoint me.
you leave me.
my tears uncontrollably fall with sadness.

you break it.
you slain it.
my heart hurts with streaks of pain.

why this so?

i see him....
its such a long time i see him.
it seems that i had so many things to say to him, but no.

i thought i could see him, talk to him.
no.

i thought that they would be so happy to hear my call.
but no.

life is so experiential.

tears of sadness, tears of joy
crying, laughter
all come round.
but why do humans have to go through all these?
why do we have to go through all these times?

God gave us the chance to live as humans who have feelings.
but also gave us to satan, to test us, and then to let our faith to be genuine and precious as gold. so that one day we would walk on the streets of gold, live in that big mansion, with no day and night, with that joyous praise and worship everyday, everytime. all these trying times are the testings.

Meaning For Singing Easter

hello....
i have been indulging on this question, 'Whats my meaning of singing easter this year?'
i had a talk with some of the ''older'' people who is gonna sing for easter. they taught me a lot through their lives and leading as an example.
then i remember about the point that pastor taught during conference 2006. is that if u have no meaning in singing these songs, it means nothing, and the song is nothing.

then i remember that there was once the youth choir was singing 'Lord, I Lift Your Name On High'. the youth choir was singing with the music. and suddenly something went wrong with the player, but the choir sang as though the music didn stop. and they kept on singing. then they realised that the music stop. and they also stop. haha.
and its because they were so in into the sing, so in into their meaning of singing the song.
so whats our reason for singing then?
for me, i want to sing because i want to share God's love to the people who attend the concert. and to also be a testament to others. :)

so... singers, what's your meaning of singing this easter?

PERTH DAY 10 (LAST DAY!!! HSH)

Its that last day. Yeah!!! I am back home now, if not how can i post rite?

What happens today is a wreck of the trip that makes the whole 10 days into a shit!

In the morning, both my dad and i were well prepared to start to move out of the hotel, and then eat breakfast with uncle terrence and then go to church le.
But then, something happen.
My dad went to the car to put the luggages in the car. He opened the door and put some small stuff at the front seat. He left the key at the keyhole. Then he slammed the door. Rather, in nice terms, he closed the door. And the metal thing to off the sensor burst and lost. And that makes it that we cannot drive the car to church, cannot take our stuff to church, cannot put the car in church. Which is a big matter!

So my dad called uncle andru, and uncle andru gave us this shun and started complaining why give him this kind of things to do. Killer because of his mouth. But that doesn matter. He is a nice guy though, coz he gave birth to nice kids.

Then we took a cab with uncle terrence. The travelling fee from Ambassador to churh is 15 bucks AUSSIE!!! Which is like less that a 10 mins drive la!!!

Then we got church, we settled down. Then just nice, auntie chris and uncle andru came. So my dad went to talk to uncle andru about this thing. Then he say he not free to do these. So we say ok lorh, we ask others to do. Then we find uncle gerarld to help us do lorh. And then uncle henry chip in also. Because he know a mechanic who can do that. Then uncle gerarld can drive off the car back to his place and put there. So we ok ok lorh. We anything anyway.

So, after the service, they had a fellowship lunch. Which is kinda more of a weird thing from what we do in Bethany. Everytime, in Bethany, the cooks will cook, unless its some super small thing than the commitee would buy food or prepare easy stuff. But this fellowship lunch is everyone chip in to bring food to share food and eat them together. Cool eh?

So we hurry need to rush back to the hotel to get our luggage, because somebody gonna fetch us. We had uncle wong to fetch us back. Nice car he have. On the way back, my dad forgot about the key, car key. He gave it to uncle henry! So how are we gonna take our stuff?!
Then we have to u-turn back. late le lorh.
So we get the key and then we hurry rush to get the luggage. Sickening driver. Rush rush rush. make my shirt spoil le.

That was the second thing that made the trip wrecked.
Then like that check-in le. And flew off after meeting the others. Pastor and auntie sally fly tmr.

Alrightie. Sleep sleep. tonight very stressful at the plane. CANNOT SLEEP AGAIN! ->bright sun.

PERTH DAY 9

Its Saturday, so fast!!! TOMMOROW GOING HOME!!!
SOOOOOOoooOOOOOOooooooo EARLY!

Didn't do much today actually. I spent some time do some packing so today would be lighter for me la.
Uncle Gerard and Camy came to find us arh.... We went for dim sum... NO GOOD DIM SUM! But i still ate la. My dad took the reciept and pay before they could react. LOL!!!
Then we went to Camy's working place, at the jetty there, near the bell tower. Beautiful skies!
After that, we went around lorh... nothing to do. Went to Aunty Chris place to pack my sister's things and get back the computer. And then went to Aunty SeeToh's place, who is Uncle Gerard's sister i think.....
Then we hurry rush back to the city, the this place call the Old Swan Bewery. There are 3 restaurants there. We ate the Western one. GOODIE!!! Very good food. We ate from 5 to 9!!! SIAOZ! And we took a group photo. There was a total of 13 Singaporeans there. Its a very romantic and beautiful place la.

Aiya.... now i packing la.... Tmr leave after church. Flight at 4 plus singapore time... abt 5...

PERTH DAY 8

Its the big day today! Friday, 26 January '07.
The big day that Chris is gonna be installed.
And it's Australian Day.

Eventhough i slept kinda late, but i made the effort to actually wake up early to go to auntie mary's place for breakfast with the other Bethany team who came. Not all i mean.... We had a lot of joke during the breakfast. Auntie Sally was mean for once, to her own good friend. Or maybe she was always mean towards her own good friend, because they know her well enough. Like they were saying that Uncle Winston is an ancient pharasee, yet live in a mordern world. And he doesn't know how to operate the water heater to dispose the water, and yet he say that the water have to be cleared if not algaes will grow in there. Haha...
Then, off we went to church, help out to prepare food and place for the installation. Chris was so happy, the Singapore team so supports him, I went to peel prawns. Ewww... blood all over my fingers... not the shells, but the head. Then after peeling, we had lunch. Lebanese food. Its Australian day, and Perth is the only mad city that doesn't open their shops during holidays, just to celebrate. So we had trouble looking for food lorh. So, they went somewhere, anything that is open, to buy food. And brought back tons of food to eat, Lebanese food.
After lunch, of course help to clean lah.... how to be so evil to let the aunties clean leh?
So clean le, the aunties went back to hotel to bathe, rest and come back to church at 5. When i want to look for my dad, he went missing!!! Aiyo!
Then i remember, he went back to the city, to get cleaned, and then go with Uncle Daniel to go to the airport to fetch tr. Peng hui and Uncle Terrence.
So i was tired, and i went into the playroom, to find Uncle George and Uncle Victor there worh.... No matter how weird it is to share a room with two old grown man, i still need the aircon and rest. They were reading. So i sat at one end of the couch and fall asleep. Uncle George say that, come and sleep can, but expect some symphony going on later. LOL!!! Anyway, it was 41 degrees outside. KILLER!!!
Soon after, i told Uncle George i want to lie down. Being a man, he gave me the whole couch to lie on. So man right?! Then i lied down, wanting to go back to sleep. Then i realize, Uncle George sat on the matteress, put down his book after a minute or so, then he lied down too. Then i close my eyes. Next minute i heared, is his symphony!!! Wahahahahaha!!! Goodness! I tried to sleep again. But it took me about 5 minutes to get back to sleep.
Someone then came and off the aircon!!! Must be Uncle Victor, coz i think i took his blanket, so it was cold for him. Then i felt it was hot. Until bua-ta-han le, i woke up and went to clean myself up and prepare for the night's programme.
Chris was all well prepared, all-ready. Smiling at me, saying hi. I was happy for him, for the church, for the people.
Then the church start to be filled. Slowly, the Singaporean team strolls in into the church, all prepared for the service. So is tr. Peng Hui and also Uncle Terence. They finally caught onto the plane. All together, 22 people from the Bethany team has come together! All behind Chris for him!
During the service, Chris cried, tears of joy. Well, we somehow cried too, happy for him mah!
The Singapore side, Bethany in Singapore, watched over the webcam. It wasn't very steady la. So it was quite bad. But i know that Chris still appreciate it one in another way.
Well, all things come to an end. The sevice ended. Some are leaving, to go back to Singapore. Pastor Mitch, Mark, Uncle Jacob, Uncle George and many many more.
There was a barrier at the City, so we couldn leave. It was Australian Day mah! Then we stay in church lorh. Then i was standing with some Uncle and Aunties, together with baby Lauren, Nick, and Sook Yee. Then we asked Nick for coke. I was dying to have one. The bottle of coke is smaller than ours, and also expensive. Its 2 bucks arh! But Nick works in coca-cola. So all the F&N drinks he could take for free. So he gave us the Coke Zero. Ok la. Not as bad as the low sugar one. Well, we dared him to give it to Pastor, see if Pastor drinks it.
He really give worh! So is Auntie Sally! And Pastor drank coke!!! Aiyo! Everyone was taking pictures of him drinking. haha!!! But its kinda weird. Its not really the Singapore people are taking. But the Aussies are! Coz, its like we always see pastor, we know what he likes and dun likes, and he dun drink coke de mah. But the Aussies dun really see him as often de la. But they seem more excited than we are worh. haha!!!
After everything arh, still can go where la.... Of coz come back to hotel la, together with Uncle Terrence, and tr.Peng Hui.
Weird leh... where's my dad. He actually dumped me and went for supper with Uncle Gerard and Camy worh! Me leh? Not the eating part la... But i want to talk to Camy la......
Such an irritating father....

Oh well, sleep le lah. Dun wait for him le! So long still haven't come back.
....arh! There is the knock.....

Perth Day 7

Today, i woke up for lunch. Haha. Just nice. :)

Today we had lunch on the sea. It's an italian restaurant, Jojo. Its superb.
We had appitizers, then the main course.
I ordered chicken. Good. But it was breastmeat. Quite tough. But it was the sauce and the veges that made the dish taste good. I tried some of beef and salmon and also liguine. BRAVA!!! SUPERB!!! really good you know?! Adding along is the sight infront of me, the sea. Beautiful. Had a super full super good lunch.
Then we came back to the hotel. And we sleep again!!! Pig!!! But it was not really a good sleep. It was around 36 degrees outside and then we didn't on the aircom. Until we felt that we were in a sauna, then we realize that the aircon wasn't on. And i went to on the coldest. Super hot. Really very summer type.
Then we went to this chinese seafood restaurant. We had 2 differnt types of scallops on the shell!!! And then we had snow crab fried with salted egg. And then we had Lobster noodles... hmm~~~ yumm yummmmmm... Then we had 2 veges, one is winter melon, another is the spinach fried with 3 different types of egg. The normal one, salted egg, and century egg.
Its really good.

So now, i am back in the room and let me tell u, i am going to sleep again!!! Hello!!! I am going to turn like joanne la! PIG EH!!!
But now, is go bathe first. I will have lots of things to do tommorow. Because of the installation. Right~~~ Got to go now. See ya :)

PERTH DAY 6

Today, it was a piggy day! GOODNESS!!!

Whole day i was sleeping. Then i struggled myself up to go to Uncle Henry's place to look at the place that i may probably stay if i study here.
Well, i got lovely food from Aunty June. A very nice lady, wife of Uncle Henry, and mother of two sons, Enoch and Elijah. Elijah's a very nice and open kid. I like him!!! He's so cute! ><
Then we went to churh for the welcoming bbq from the ypg and yag group.
We reached there quite early. I walked around, talk with some of the teens, and some that i had met long ago, like for example, ken, Aunty Chris' son. He is more open now, talk to me, joke with me. And he looks nicer now! I dare say that. He looks so much sexier than the last time i met him.... i think it was last yr. But my opinion of him had changed so much from the first time i met him last sunday.
Oh well, I had a full dinner. Then i walked to the steps at the basketball court, sat at the top and looked out. Beautiful. The sky that Singapore will never have and never will have. Staying here would bring good and bad points. The beautiful nature here is way more of a winner to Singapore, and i think to any other country as well. Whereas, things here, and life back in Singapore is no way that we should compare because Singapore is smaller but yet, its so noisy, more city life everywhere. Whereas, in Perth, its so much quieter here, more like a relaxed life here. I kinda love it, for a change.
Sitting on that steps had brought me to look more and see more of life. It came to me that time had ticked so fast. 3 years. 3 years that brought chris back to Perth to carry on his ministry. What have i done the last 3 years? Other than study, and NPCC, i kinda remember that there is only rubbish. No life that is fruitful. Time i wasted will not be bcak. But, i can turn the time in future to be fruitful and more meaningful.
I know a friend while i was stiiting there. I dun really know how to spell her name. But she ask me to call her Kat. I talked to her about many things relating to church, the difference between Bethel and Bethany. I think she had learned a lot from the talk. So do i, to open myself so people would open to me.

Oh well, I am going to sleep now.

Goodnight :)

PERTH DAY 5

Its so fast, day 5 now.

I was sleeping till 12 nn. And then we had lunch at 3. Then i received a call from the team from Bethany. Finally!!! Aiya! Then they say we have a dinner at 6! Aiyo!!! 6 eh! Goodness!
Then we went for dinner at 6. But we first meet the team from Bethany at Seasons of Perth. Then we walked together to the place where we gonna eat, which is Grand Palace Restaurant, at Esplanade, near the swan river. Cool!!! I took a lot of photos...
I try not to eat so much. Anyway, the food is soooooo good, that makes me wants to eat it. Its a high class restaurant, which originally is from The Esplanade Hotel. But i think this is the branch, if not, its a moved out.
We split into 2, the ladies, and the men. And we had a girls' talk. And the guys had a men's talk. Cool eh? Kinda weird to think that the guys, mostly made of pastors, are having a men's talk. Goodness!!! So alamak. Haha.
Then we came back and say nite nite.

So now, i am getting ready to sleep. Trust me, I am dead tired because from all the talk. Because i wasn't the one talking. The youngest of both tables dun talk. Like the guy's side they have Joel. And the ladies side they have me. I cannot catch up to them... LOL

PERTH DAY 4

today was a whole slacking time. most of my time was spent either on the lappy or my bed. I kinda didn't go out today. Haha. I found out that there is DST in Perth, and its for trial. DST=Daylight Saving Time. It makes it adds on the normal GMT time an hr. That means, that the time difference now between Singapore and Perth is an hr, where Perth is one hr before of Singapore.

oh well, we skipped breakfast today because i was a pig... keep sleeping. Well, then i woke up for lunch. We drove to chinatown and had dine in at this vietnam and asian cusine. The name of the restaurant is Saigon. Well, it was kinda worth the money. Really really huge bowl. Double the portion, double the price. Haha.
Then all the time we have been in the hotel slacking. Because pastor didn't come to find us, and we were afraid that pastor would come and find us.
Haha... I think today's post is the shortest of all.

I spent all day watching downloaded DN Angel. Bored to death. But lucky, haven't die.
Hope that tommorow would be a better day then. :)

PERTH DAY 3

Day 3 in Perth now. Things had been going through kinda smoothly.

This morning, as usual, breakfast first. Then we went to church. If we were not to be lost, we will be there right on time. But then, we went without our map. And hence, we were there late. Very late... When we reached church, they had just finished. Haha.We stayed over for lunch and kinda had a fellowship with them. I say kinda because other than Pheebs and some older folks, none has talk to me! And i think its quite right that what Auntie Peggy says. I shall not elaborate.
After that, we went back to the hotel here, and i slept. Haha.
Then there was a call from Uncle William. We met him at Fremantle and then we had a catch. Wohoo!!! Fishing!!! i caught 4 fishes. 2 puffer fish, and 2 Yellow Tail. So sad... Its 2 puffer fish. Cannot eat de!!! Poisonous.
After the catching, we went to eat fish and chips!!! YEAH!!! Its just next to the place. So its very convinient. Its rated the best fish and chips in WA. It cost A$10.50. Its very big packet with no sauces. The sauces, one small pack cost A$0.30. Which is...S$0.36. And if u know me well, i like lots of sauces on my plate, so it would cost a bomb!!! Haha. But i didn get any sauces. I took flavourings. There is a station where the salt, pepper, and vinegar are. The people take so much as though they dun cost a cent. And maybe they dun cost a cent! I also took, since i need taste and the salt and pepper are there and its FOC. Haha. Its such a big packet, that even if i share with my dad, we couldn't finish! My advice to you, is that if you want to eat fish and chips, try to order 2 packet for 3 person. Even i am such a big eater, i still cannot finish.
In the end, i brought back the fish and chips to the hotel and i try to eat whatever i can... aiya, dun waste mah. The fries are like as though they dun cost a thing. That's what makes it such a big packet. In the end, i only finish the fish and didn't eat the fries. Haha.

Alrighty... That's all for it for now. Pastor is coming tommorow. It would be such an experience to travel with him...brrr... kinda scary too. LOL!!!

PERTH DAY 2

hello... its the second day in perth.
so fast le worh...

Today, after breakfast, we drove up to the market place at canningvale. My dad cheated me. Say there will be alot of bargains and u see people start snatching bargained food like meat, veges, and fruits. All these daily necessities here are very expensive. Over these years, the prices had gone up because of the inflation. In the end, when we reach there, no people, no bargains, no snatching. How dissapointing.
After buying some sweets from the marketplace, we drove to Fremantle, another town in WA. It is beautiful. But i forgot to bring camera, so i didn take a picture of the sight when we drove up the hill and saw the blue sea that blends into the blue sky. Very VERY beautiful. We drove around and got lost half the time. Haha. And we drove to the prison. I felt very ironic. Such a beautiful place with an ugly feature in it. The prison is open to the public at some places, of course, no contact with criminals. And to get in, you have to pay a certain amt of $$$. Then we drove around and we finally reached to the Fremantle Marketplace. Waaa.... Super lotsa stuff. Quite reasonable price la. Then we bought some seadless grapes and strawberries. Then we went back. I put the fruits in the car, along with the sweets. Allow me to tell you, eventhough the weather is cool, but then the sun rays are glaring. And then i put in the car, and the strawberried start to get spoil. and the sweets are melting to the aluminium wrappers. I didn know that till i reach the hotel.
After the Fremantle trip, we went to Uncle Tony and Auntie Peggy's place. we had a talk with them over large amount of isseues. They are Jimmy's parents. Nice people. Then they brought us to the nearest supermarket. And we brought over 60 bucks of chocolate. Hey tell you, u think its alot, BUT ITS NOT!!! We buy these in offers, YET, its still expensive. But i dare say, these chocolates are best!!! Aussie chocolates are best because they make with their own grown cocoa. GOOD!!! BAGUS!!! They wanted to leave us for dinner, but then we are meeting another person for dinner. Then we departed and come back to the hotel.
When we were back at the hotel, we got tired, and we slept. Then Uncle Gerard call and say that he just finish work and going back for a bath, and then come fetch us for dinner. So i say ok. Then i reckon, it will be around 8 la. So i slept. Then we had a miss call. Haha. It was about 7.30 then. I struggle myself up and get ready for dinner. When i reach the lobby, it was around 8. And then he came to fetch us to chinatown to eat. Finally!!! Chinatown! We eat Peking Duck (3 types). They used the duck, to put in 3 different ways. The skin was cut to eat like a popiah. Then the meat was diced and but in a raw cabbage and suppose to eat like korean bbq like that. Then what is left is the bones la. The bones, cannot do anything le mah. So they boil soup. Smart right? All together was about 50 over. And can 'da-pao' also. Becoz cannot eat finish. For a typical Aussie, its quite cheap for 4. Imagine, if there are around 6 people, it will be cheaper. Very filling. Then they ordered kangkong and also steamed fish. ARHHH.... the first meal in Perth that is so full. Then after dinner, we dun want to go back to the hotel, so we went for a drink. Hey, i am underage. Dun think otherwise. We went for a coffee. I had juice, because, if u rmb, i cannot drink coffee. I had a great chat with Uncle Gerard's wife. She's a HK. Then we were speaking a lot about travel. She's a very good and sharp person. But i think mummy more sharp. Wahahahahahaha.
Then after talking, they drove us back to the hotel, around 12mn. Then came back to type this and now getting ready to sleep.

Tmr have to wake up early lorh.... its church day!!! WOHOO!!!

PERTH DAY 1

i reached here at 6 plus.... the sun has already rise..... around 4 plus the sun had risen.
then when i touch down, we went into the hotel, goodness!!!!

7) carry veges nvm eh.... i kind of like it la... but then talk to aunty chris hor... like she gonna kill me like that. sigh.... i shall not elaborate on that.
8) then, when we come back to the hotel, i went to sleep. because i haven been sleeping since yesterday 2 p.m. over the air flight, i also nv sleep. cannot sleep. then the bed so small, like worse than a single like that worh....
9) then sleep halfway, wake up, then look at the window... wah, the sky still so bright. then look at my watch.... 7.22!!! hello.... 7.22 p.m eh! still bright like as if its 6p.m in singapore. damn bloody shock la.
10) actually, its not a problem if it is still bright... but then, usually its, early sunrise, early sunset. but then over here is early sunrise, later sunset. like the day has stretched so much more.
11) then i went to sleep again... my dad started to play my com, using the internet. and then the whole time he keep complaining that the network lao ya... i say no... is like that de. my com too much things le. here 1 gb there 1 gb, my lappy i think only can put 80 gb if not 100 gb only mah. make me cannot sleep....
12) then he woke me up again at 9. saying that we should go buy some dinner come back. ok lorh. then i woke up. at first, we thought, lets walk. so we walk. then so dangerous. the night life here is way way dangerous. the people talk so loud. and the there are women who just walk on the streets and grab any guy and ask if he wants to take her. i was like... jaw drop! so open siahz!
13) so we decided to walk back and grab our car. i kind of have this phobia. i like reading past cases of murder, and they unsually happen in the night. so the last thing i want to happen is to have any trouble at this place. i dun want to die yet worh. i still haven bring my friends to know the LORD. i still haven't baptise. i still haven't come to know a lot of church people from perth. and a lot A LOT nv do yet.
14) then we took the car and started driving to chinatown, half the time missing our way. lol.
15) when we reach there, there isn anything le, but fastfood, 24 hrs convenience store, dangerous people, and also beggars. fastfood...no! too many people queue-ing for it. so i went to the convenice store lorh, and get some instant noodles and chocolate. guess how much i got for one cup of instant noodles?! A$2.50!!! if i convert to singapore $, i can buy one proper meal eh. i bought 6 cups of instant noodles, and 3 chocolate bars. altogether inc. gst is A$20.85. MY GOODNESS!!!
