ONLY BY GRACE

The trip that felt like it was taking forever to come and today is the day. Well 1 member short due to unforseen circumstances but He is still faithful. Its the little things that keep me believing it will all be fine. There's this element of surprise that awaits and I don't know how to anticipate it. But it will be good. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the journey. I know full well who's at the driver's seat! Till then friends.

Buzz phrase between Ana and me recently. One by one, our peers are walking down the aisle and we both look at each other and we say "How ah??" Frankly, as much as I hate to admit it, I do fear being left on the shelf! Well not that I'm undesirable, but at times I just stop hoping. I know i know...words have power and I should not make negative confessions. I should keep praying and commiting my inner most desires to the One who knows best. Yet I'm only human. And a woman for that matter. Today we met again and we both exclaimed, "Our time not here yet!". Pastor walked in, smiling as usual. "DIVINE CONNECTION. Its not a right. Its a desire" (Pastor, 2009). We'll get there somehow. Meanwhile, continue to wait for this DIVINE CONNECTION.

The semester is officially over. It is not particularly a hectic term yet I felt it has been going on for a long time. It ended with my last exam in NIE and when I begin the next semester, which is also my last, it will only be for 6 weeks before I head out to school for formal teaching. With this in mind, and as I look back, time did fly! But I must say it has been fruitful. My relationships/friendships have been deepened and that means more to me than anything else. I LOVE MY CLASS! Awwwww.... In 48 hours, I will be off for my long-awaited break in Aussie. Well well...its finally going to happen but not without its obstacles, even till this moment. First was Liling's boo boo about when her SS module end and now Leslie's toe! Anyhow, I remember Peace's prayer on sat that God knows my heart's desire and how this trip is important to me and He knows. Just now, I was pondering on the various hiccups that came along and was quite disheartened. Yet an assurance came about t

被 一 位 好 友 引 响 所 以 想 试 一 试 用 华 语 写 这 一 份 blog. 想 当 年 我 还 在 中 学 的 时 侯， 我 的 华 文 其 实 是 满 好 的。 不 过 现 在 呢。。。还 是 不 要 提 伤 心 的 事 吧！ 刚 刚 收 到 消 息 我 的 一 位 要 好 的 朋 友 要 结 婚 了。 我 真 的 替 她 感 到 开 心。同 时， 我 在 想 及 时 会 轮 到 我 家 呢？越 想 越 心 痒 痒。。。还 是 continue 等 吧。心 急 也 是 没 用。 很 快 一 年 就 这 么 过 了。有 时 回 头 想 想， 我 也 不 知 道 这 段 时 间 是 过 得 这 么 快。我 老 了。 快 三 十 岁 了。以 经 不 年 轻 了。该 是 时 侯 好 好 的 保 握 时 间 而 不 是 等 到 最 后 才 来 后 悔。 好 啦 ， 我 捆 了。睡 觉 时 间 了。 大 家 晚 暗。 明 天 见！

After a long long while, I got myself another ipod. This time bigger and hmmm still 2nd-hand like the first poddie! :) Even since the 'demise' of my first ever apple product, I've been contemplating getting another mp3 player to keep me company on my long train ride to school. Was not willing to fork out $200-300++ for another ipod so I chose to wait. Until 1 day, I asked Anais if she had lobang for mp3 and she told me Matt was trying to sell his 30GB ipod since he gotten the Itouch! Presto! Prayer answered. Patience paid off. My journey on trains will never be the same again though I'm officially $150 poorer as a result. Anyhow, I'm satisfied.
