Time flies. It's the last day of 2009. So many things happened the past 12 months. Made quite a few big decisions... which i pray that it will turn out great in 2010. Also accomplished many big+little things this year.

Storms of Life
By the grace of God, I had overcome one of the greatest storm in my life this year. It wasn't pleasant... but i realized i learn the most in my pain, and i saw the light of Jesus shining the brightest in my darkest hours. At one point, i found myself smiling in joy (not happiness) while my heart & soul were in pain. I was amazed myself. It was then the Word of God came alive. The joy of the Lord became my strength. He also let me know in my heart that He allowed the pain to come so that i can get over it & heal faster. Looking back now, He is right. If nothing happen, i may need to take a year or more to get over & healed... but with His loving grace & wise plan, i was delivered from it faster than i thought i would need. Within 1-2 months, i was well. (before that, it had been dragged for about 5-6months, and still not healed). GOD's lovingkindness and mercy is really on all His children. =)

SOT
I've enrolled into SOT. Didn't plan about it at all... just came to me suddenly. I was pondering "should i or should i not?" Then this thought came to me: "will i regret if i go?" The answer in me was a firm "NO." I believe it will be a wise choice to invest some earthly time to build on something that will last for eternity. I also wanted to learn more about God's Word, as well as get myself equipped before stepping back to fulltime in the working society.

Work

I thank God for providing me job opportunities to help me to earn some pocket money. Also, He blessed me with a good paying job as a tutor (to pay for SOT) with working hours that can fit into my SOT timetable. God also had been giving me the favor of man at work =)

Graduate

My last semester's exam's preparation was not very smooth. I was juggling between my studies and my tutor-training lessons. I wonder will i make it... but the grace of God sees me through! I managed to cope well & study all that i need. He blessed me with wisdom when i asked. I always claimed this promise: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." [James 1:5] God always made it come to pass! :D I passed all 4 modules with Bs... including 1 subject that i had a hard time answering the questions in exam. PRAISE GOD!

Mummy

My mum went for the op before my exam... which adds on another load to my exam preparation. But God is good. He healed my mum. Me & my sister knew the Hands of God was upon her. While others in her ward (all similar operations) were in much pain, my mum was amazingly well. She don't really feel much pain. Now (after 2 months), she can do most of the usual things (walk, shop, play mahjong, cook, clean abit etc) except for carrying heavy stuff & bending down. We had heard situations of other ppl that went for the same op, but still not well & in pain after 3 months. I really really thank God for His love, mercy & grace upon my family. ^^

Moving on to 2010

As much as 2009 had been quite a challenging but fruitful journey, I am looking forward to 2010 with God Almighty. I wonder where will He lead me in the next 1 year to come. Stepping into the unknown... How exciting!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL OF YOU !!!

GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY!

♥ GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY! ♥

After waiting for holiday for so long, we finally carried out our post-exam outing plan!



Headed for Night at the Museum 2 after Kbox. I find the show okay okay. The 1st one was funnier, in my opinion. After movie, we went shopping!

Had dinner at Tonkichi at Isetan Scotts, recommended by Hazel. They have nice pork cutlet & curry. I usually prefer chicken cutlet than pork, but they don't have chicken cutlet... and their speciality is their pork cutlet. Indeed, it's nice. But i find the price a bit steep. $22 for my set... I can find it cheaper in many japanese restaurants that serve nice curry rice too. Big portion thou. Here are the photos...

Labels: Holiday, work

My long awaited holiday is finally here! Been waiting for 6 weeks - which seems like ages. This is the first time in university life that I am so excited about holiday. Probably because I have a friend (Hazel) taking 2 modules with me... and we were studying, planning holiday shopping and counting down towards holiday together. All these seems to make holiday so much exciting! Hahaha. Anyway, its really been a while since I really blog. Let's summarize, shall we?

Exam
This semester I took 4 papers, most papers ever in UniSIM. Had started preparing 1 month before exam, reading and reading theories almost everyday. On the 2nd week of preparation, I fell sick... down with flu & fever & cough. But God is good! He healed me in 2 days... never see doctor at all. And the amazing thing is the day which I felt the sickest, I remembered many things I studied on that day! Amazing wasn't it? Drowsy & dripping (flu), God's Hands were upon me, aiding me in my studies. His grace is indeed sufficient for us! When I sat for the papers, I knew He is with me also. The peace of Jesus is with me.

School
I found out that I need to amend 3 modules for next semester (yay final sem!). Must change it to Level 3 modules. I didn't know we must complete a certain number of Level 3 modules in order to graduate. Really thank God for letting me know in time! If not I will need to stay for 1 more semester in order to graduate. Pray that my amendments will successfully go through.

Life's Journey
I wasn't feeling well in my soul last week. But again, God is good! God is sooooooooo good! He picked me up. He showed me many things in just the span of 1 week. I'm so glad He showed me things I was so blinded before. In the midst of emotional pain, I felt joyful. To some, you might think "you must be crazy. how can that be?" But I tell you, it is the truth. His joy is nothing like what this world can offers. This world offer us happiness (non-lasting), but God offer us joy - pure joy. I am so grateful for His mercies & grace in my life. Indeed, as His Word says: His lovingkindness is better than life.

When we fell, we'll realised we've been caught by the net of God's love. His love, indeed, never fails. Now, I'm so excited about what will God be doing in my life in the days to come. Hoho. So exciting!

Also, I want to thank all those who had shown concern (directly or indirectly) & stand by me during my low-time. I thank God for a sister, friends, and brothers & sisters in Christ! I love you all! *hugs!*

Church
I am looking forward to the churchwide biblestudy that is commencing next Friday. It's going to talk about the LOVE of GOD. I am also looking forward to see Pastor Mike Connell again on Wed & Thurs night. But too bad I cannot join cellgroup for dinner on Thursday... both times they go to the restaurant and I couldn't make it. Maybe my beloved sister can dabao for me?

Holiday Plans
Hazel & I had planned our to-do-list in school (while we were suppose to revise before our papers). LOLx. We called this Reinforcement. Hahaha... Tomorrow's to-do-list:

• K-Lunch at Cineleisure
• Night at the Museum 2
• Browse Heeren (I have not been there for quite some time)
• Takashimya
• Isetan Scotts
• Dinner somewhere

We also plan to go cycling, and also window-shop around the East during the weeks that I'm going to Expo for biblestudy. We're having budget-plans because we're both not working currently. Nevermind... as long as we enjoy ourselves in this holiday! hehe.

Now
I am looking for temp holiday job. Let me know if you have lobang! Thanks!

I am also looking forward for my sister's new camera to arrive at Courts (no stock at lot1). Settled for an Olympus instead of Canon... think it's quite a good deal. I can't wait to use it! (I know it's not mine la. But still can use it during outing together, right? =P )

That's all for now. Try to update soon. =)

God bless you all in the week ahead!
