Sern Yi's here!

Actually it should be titled Sern Yi WAS here....hahaha

YES he actually finally arrived! He told me he was gonna come more than a YEAR ago, but never showed up - until now! He actually flew in from Tazzy this morning, so since it was a holiday.... me and Li decided to go down to the city to "entertain" him hahaha :D

Well before we got there....we tried to come up of a list of things to do with him when he's here....and this was as far as we got :

1. Bring him to KOK
2. Go down to St. Kilda beach
3.Err...


We're talking about MELBOURNE here ok!!! Supposed to be the most happening place in d known world, but we couldn't think of anything to do!! Actually there were some things we cud have done, but it would have involved $$$ (i.e the Royal Mebourne Show)...and you know us being cheap asians....dowanla!!

Anwy when we met up with him at Vincent's place, to be honest he looked a little shagged. But it was good seeing him again tho (actually it's always good meeting someone from home :D ...right Li??). Anywho, we took him to KOK, and he tried the one and only Egg Chiffon Rice with some kind of Meat...Li and I took crispy pork while SY took BBQ pork ( now guys if i even bother to repeat what kind of dish we had, you have to realize how good it was!!) Then we were bloated, so we took a walk to the MAS office with Vincent to get SY's ticket printed...Man that place reminded me of Msia....long queues and only 3/5 counters open...typical!

Then we headed down to St. Kilda. The weather today was AWESOMEEE!!! We walked along the beach and out to a small pier where we proceeded to taker pictures, Li insisting to take most of em herself like she always does :D. Haven't got any off her so can't post anything for now, will post it soon....we even stopped by at Luna Park to see of there were any cheap rides...the sign up the front threw us off :

0-3 yrs $12.95
3-17 yrs $25.95
18 - ? $35.95

WHAT A RIP OFF!!! even the kids get charged like crazy....we turned and walked straight out of that place.....hahahaha and caught a tram back to Melbourne city...

I dunno what happened, but i guessed Li's girly instincts kicked in, and she wanted to go shopping, so we let her! So as she scurried off, we grabbed a drink and went out to State Library to talk. It's been awhile since i've actually talked to SY, so it was a good time of catching up. And the sun was setting about that time, and it was fun juz watching Melbourne hurry past as people rushed home from work.

We met up with Li again and went to Koko Black....gosh the Hot choc is just sinful, and Li had this wicked looking Ice Choc. SY decided not to have anything, maybe KOK was too much for him hahaha. then we headed back to Vincents, and...

THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN!!

We tried and tried to get the door open but it wouldn't! We sort of gave up at one point, and SY asked us to go home...den he leaned on the door and turned the key one more time and the door open! PHEW! so den we headed back to Clayton finally. Could see we were all so so tired, Li especially. i think she was also sien with us just being us hahaha. Met Lisa and Winston at Huntingdale who graciously gave us a lift back, den Li finally drove us home, but not wiithout stopping for some pizza first hehehehe Malaysians will be Malaysians :D.

All in all it was a fantabulous day!! Had fun with the two of them, and Vincent too when he was with us :D Thanks SY for cheering me up by coming here, even if it was only for a day, and thanks Li for making the trip so much more fun fun fun....and we finally got to Koko Black! but not satisfied...we need to go to Chaddy one...i think got more variety or something....one day la, we still need to get rid of the Hoyts tickets :(

I'm going fishing tmr!!! Gonna have more fun fun fun....And i've already dedicated my first fish i catch (IF i even catch anything) to someone....so hopefully i do catch something! happy studying u! :D

[if i don't get any fish, i'll go get strawberries from Coles la k hehehehehe :P]

For nuts....

I just thought i would come up with a list of things I COULDN'T DO FOR NUTS!

1. Dance
I'm sooo freaking bad at this. Trust me, the closest thing i do to dancing is when were singing praise songs in church, and were jumping UP AND DOWN!! I mean thats just one dimension dancing man (for you engineering people, it's called movement on the z-axis....O God i need help with Electromag :( ) I mean i only remember ONCE ever trying to ball-room dance or whatever you call it. It was during my first ball back in Sunway, when the dance floor opened for a so brief moment, and my 'date' dragged me to the dance floor. AND IT WAS HORRIBLEEEEE! But she cudn't dance for nuts either, so heh i didn't feel that bad.

Future plans: None at the moment. Don't see the need to do any real dancing in the near future. Mayb my girlfriend/wife wud want me to later on, but i'll just say i'm busy or something haha :D

2. Cook
Here's another thing i really suck but i wished i was way better at. And considering it results in something i'm reallllyyy passionate about, i should be ashamed i'm not as into it as i should be. the few attempts that i have made at learning this art failed terribly. Rice too hard la, curry too spicy la, carrots too soft la......the list goes on and on and on. It's no wonder i always end up and Peg's and Li's place all the time coz those guys ROCK at cooking (yes Li, even you ahahha altho u haven't been cooking in a LONG LONG time). And on my list of things to do for (to) Peggen, No. 3 states "Cook a meal for P.Ewe". I'll get down to it i promiseeeeeeee!

Future Plans: Definitely learn how to cook something, anything... but considering i get catered food, it just throws me of ever learning how to cook. Plus, i was depending on my mom coming down to teach me at the end of the year, but it seems they are not coming...so....

3. Being on time/Attending regularly/ Attending at all - my LECTURES!

I really can't being myself to do this....it's just pointless!!

Future plans: What future??? :D

Actually the list stopped at No. 2, and i couldn't think of anything substantial that i COULDN'T DO FOR NUTS. Maybe someone could help me add to the list ? :P

Back to you

Back to You by John Mayer

back to you
it always comes around
back to you
I tried to forget you
I tried to stay away
But it's too late

over you
I'm never over
over you
something about you
It's just the way you move
the way you move me

I'm so good at forgetting
and I quit every game I've played
but forgive me love
I can't turn and walk away

not this way


The past week has been hectic. Two tests and two assignments in a week. And i've officially started camping (in the library) again!! haha time to bring out the "culprit" (for those who don't know what the culprit is, go read my old posts). Now all i need is some kawan-kawan to camp with me.... Any takers?

Planet Worship is in two weeks. Man i'm really looking forward to it. I always receive so much from events like this, especially when's its run by City Church. Time to get back to my roots in worship :D. Plus, i've got a 'special friend' coming to visit me ard that time. It's gonna be 'interesting' ....hahahahah 0_o

Back to You...i always turn back to You...no matter how many times i turn away, You still wait patiently for me.... Where can i run to hide from Your presence? I'm really sorry for losing sight of my first-born inheritence in You...Help me live each day in that authority and overcome the temptations the evil one flings at me...

God, i'm holding on. It's hard, it's really really hard when i put my faith in u and u alone, but i know that if it is in ur plan for me, it will happen. i'm juz waiting on You...

:)

Along the way

God puts people along the way to pick u up, brush you off and help you start walking again....

And when people you expect to help don't really help at all, he sends *angels* to your rescue....

Thanks ANGEL, what you told me and the encouragement and prayer you said really lifted me up. I know i may not have helped u the same way in the past, but i'm definitely going to try and be more of a friend in the future.

YOU rock....Remember ya, what you go through today is preparing you for what's to come, and i can see big things coming in times ahead, so get ready!

=)

Doing it alone

I just realized something today.... I need to get used to doing things alone again...

It's not that i'm trying to be anti-social, or i hate my friends or something.

I LOVE MY FRIENDS!!

They are one of the best things that ever happened to me. They make me who I am today. I wouldn't trade em for the world... but you see there are times when i'm definitely gonna be alone. It's just life, friends can't be around you 24/7, and friends come and go like seasons sometimes. You can't do anything to change that, it just is.

Recently, i've found that if i don't have someone doing stuff with me, i get discouraged too quickly. Maybe it's because i got comfortable when i had people who i was close with around me. it does give u a sense of security, and it sort of validates everything u do coz someone else is doing it alongside you. It's a pity it took me ages to find that out....and the things that i had to go through to realize - sad.

Why sad you say? Coz it wasted LOADS of time i could have used to do something useful. I'm a little ticked off that I was sitting around waiting for someone to join me when i do things. I regret following the crowd, and dreaming of things but never doing anything. I realize that once a promise is given, He will bring it to pass, thats not an issue - the issue is ourselves!

Now to honor someone who DID do it right....


This girl ar...ask her to send me a pic so i can put it on my blog, and she sent me this!! Super duper poser Jane!! haha and she told me she likes this pic coz it's as if she's looking towards God and the light is shining down on her hahahahah joker la u.

Jane, i'm Really Really blessed by your testimony. i still remember when i knew you last year, it would be a miracle to even get 5 words out of ur mouth in one sentence. You were SOOO quiet and timid and shy. But this year.... YOU HAVE GROWN a lot!! And as i told u, u've found out who you are in God, keep listening to Him for direction and what He wants you do in this campus were on :D

I remember putting Jane in charge of follow up and Cross talk at the beginning of the year. It was evident she was listening to the voice of God when she took it up. And i wasn't always there to follow up on her, coz i was busy with other things. But honestly she did more than i ever expected her to. Even without contant support from her leaders, she just kept doing what she was entrusted with without fail. How many people i know would have slowly let complacency and pride come in and lose the joy of serving?

And you know if you are faithfull with the small things, He's gonna give you bigger things. You inspire me Jane, and you are an example of someone who did things even though no one else was gonna do it with u. Keep it up!! Greater things are to comeeee....:D

She makes good cake!!

THIS TASTED FLIPPIN'LY AWESOME!!!

and introducing the person who made this delicious dessert....

Ms. Quek Hui Li and her Oreo Cheesecake!!!

You've gotta taste it for yourself to find out how GOOD it actually is! The texture and everything was juz perfect and it just melts in your mouth....

Can't wait for the mango version....it's gonna blow ur tastebuds away!!! :D

As a wise man once said..."It doesn't take much to make a man happy...". Kinda forgot who said that (it might have been me tho), but it's true in most ways. THIS certainly made my day man...hahahah

Li you outdid yourself this time!! And next time i won't act as if i'm so surprised that the cake actually came out alright hahahaha :D knew it wud jadi, and it certainly did hehe.

-YaM-
