NEW HOUSEMATES! Jian and Ken - siblings! In summary, they are nice! haha (: We said hello to each others rooms today (room visiting) and we are dinnering together tomorrow! So yes. I'm back in Melbourne again. Somehow leaving this time was harder. I cried leh. Which was funny. Cos the past few times I left, I didn't cry. In fact, the first time I left for Melb, I was so hoppy happy my friend said I was weird. And this time, I - wahhhhh :'( Helped out for orientation today. C'mon man God. Open those floodgaaattes! \m/ Eh how come it's 12am already. Okay maybe I'm still Singapore time zoning. Remember Time Zone? Arcade. Haha. -_- :)

Happee dee birthdee leedle boy. Yea Saturday Night Fever! Agogo in your afrogro! \m/ -- I've got new specs! Partly cos the paint off my old specs were peeling off. And I wanted a change. And since I've always had metal > plastic > metal > plastic > metal specs, it's now time for plastic. I think they were kinda like an impulse buy $_$ Sometimes I look at it and I like it, and at other times I look at it and I :( WHY DID I BUY IT? They keep slipping down my nose :( It's okay. For the first time in my life I have two pairs of wearable specs at the same time. -- I've got another nephew! Chin Ee's kid is Matthew Tay Tze Ern. Chin Siew's kid is Samuel Koh Ren Jie. \m/ Now I know why people like Lynette talk so much about their nephews/nieces :P I still think it's so surreal for a new human being to enter the earth! Then you look - so small, become so big. Eh. Another thing about God to marvel about :D -- The other day, my dad asked me how to down...

It's like ironing. I was ironing, with my mind a bit blank, and sometimes just humming along to the songs playing on the laptop, and I asked God – teach me something through this ironing I'm doing. You're the God of everything. A lesson can be learnt from anything. So teach me something. Then I continued singing in my head. Awhile later, I began thinking about some things. And I thought - it's like ironing. Creases (on the shirt) put under heat (of the hot iron) are smoothened. Me under trials (being smoothened) becomes smooth. -- Smooth (New Oxford American Dictionary) adjective 1. having an even and regular surface or consistency; free from perceptible projections, lumps, or indentations 2. without harshness or biterness verb give (something) a flat, regular appearance by running one's hand over it. thesaurus even, level, unwrinkled, polished -- So it's okay. I'm just getting smooth(ened). And so are you! We are getting more beautiful each day, becomin...

Sue Ann is not going to be in Melbourne this year when I return. :( Sigh. It won't be the same without you Sue Ann! My first new friend in Melbourne. Haha. :) :( No more random piano room days and dinner chats, blah blah blah. :( There won't be other friends there in Melb too, but the Sue Ann one was unexpected. But ohwell thank God for other good friends who will still be there, and new ones who are to come! One and a half weeks till I return (if I get my visa by then). I'm not ready :( For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him" -2 Chronicles 16:9 Okay. Help me be fully committed to You. And thank You Lord. For grace, for You.

MSN... actually i lost my train of thoughts lol wait till it comes back chug chug here comes the train quick catch your thought! can you spot it? u siao already hahahaaa The end. :D

There are times when I'm just so thankful for God, I'm so full of joy and bursting; feels overwhelming. But when I am most awed, I go - WHO ARE YOU? Like, as if I can't imagine how anyone would do anything like this and so I'm like - whoa. Who are you?! Not the happy-happy sort, but more like a whoa-reverent-awe sort. And sometimes I think - WHO AM I? Who am I to receive all this? Who-are-you to give to the who-am-I? Sometimes, a Point of Grace song comes to mind - Who am I that You would love me so gently Who am I that You would recognise my name Lord who am I that You would speak to me so softly Conversations with the One most high Who am I? -- I think I am happy because I am content. Indeed, God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him (John Piper). -- Prioritising doesn't become so hard when you realise that saying no to one thing means saying yes to another. And hey, it's for the greater good. Got to keep things in perspective. What's ...

Post long due! Not feeling particularly inspired, so here's just a summary of what I've been up to. As always, the awesome brother. Now that the three sisters are married, we only have each other. Sob. Just joking. We are still one big happy family. Actually, bigger. And another family member is coming soon (aka baby)... Christmas with some Wesley YM girls at Wanli's house where we stuffed ourselves full. And some of us had a sleepover. We got to pick out of Wanli's MANY Pooh nighties. We're going to the zoo oo oo, how about you you you! Went with Yasmeen, Mornique and Voon from OCF Clayton, then bumped into some OCF WA people. Didn't check out the kids section tho! Baked at Patty's house. While waiting for the cake to rise we watched Boys Before Flowers and, oh no, I borrowed the DVD home and it took away a few days of my life haha :P Also, met the famous Tubz. Non-Singaporean visitors! Like Sue Ann and Ian (I was a bad host ha ha, s...
