♥ hello
why hello blog,
it's been a while. roughly a month. i've been a bit lazy - my bad.
EXAMS
exams in two weeks! i know it's going to be okay - birds in the air right?
but there are times where i still have little freak out sessions.
CHURCH
the whole lifegroup transitioning into a ministry has turned out really well so far.
we have a good group of guys/girls and i was so happy with the pilot run. and just the atmosphere and friendships that are growing, it's really cool to see.
and i love it! there are ups and downs to leadership but i think seeing people grow is definitely one of the biggest highlights so far.
balancing commitments with uni and life, is really not that bad, but because of my (lack of) time management skills, there are times where i'm a bit =/ but it's been pretty good so far.
FRIENDS
i should be making more friends in med. but idk, it takes effort and time... and it's hard to put that in, esp when you lack that sort of flow where you just get along instantly. yeah and i'm finding i just don't gel as well with some of them. like you have 'friends' and you have actual 'friends'. people change too, and friendships change with it.
and i'm pretty happy with the two 'everyday convo' friends i've made this year. as in like we pretty much talk everyday, online. but it's not like time consuming or requires lots of effort. it's just smooooth. easy. they don't get offended easily, they are pretty easy going... and when it comes to events and stuff, they actually turn up. they remind me when quizzes are due, and they help answer my questions, and they give me their honest opinion on things i ask them about.
i don't know, kinda reminds me of my friendship with L. very easy going. if we don't talk or see each other for a while, it's okay / fine / normal. but we're still always there for each other to vent or rant on skype. and i think another important thing, I've also found with people like C is, we're comfortable with silence.
yup. been hanging with both church, work and high school friends a bit more. and it's been good. like i'm starting to see how different all my friendships are - like they're all unique and different.
HOLIDAYS
so i'll be heading to china this coming summer (their winter) and then thailand and probably vietnam in the coming year. quite exciting. however this requires money. which i have. but was meant to go towards my car. HMM. oh well.
grandma is coming too... yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy for hugs and good food. should probably work more on my hokkien.
anyways, that's it for now... got to get back to study, i have made a strict study schedule.

♥ I Will...
Well I was cleaning up my room today.. in preparation for the start on uni tomorrow...
and I came across my "I Will..." pack from Mission Conference mid last year...
And so I came across my "next step" pledge slip...
1. Sponsor a child
2. Go on a short term mission trip in the next 12 months (VWAP?)
3. Complete a KAIROS course
4. Read a TEAR publication
and it was nice to see that I could finally tick off everything that I had pledged to do...
So what's my next step?
Well, I know I'm starting first year med this year.. but I want to make the most of it - I want to remain active in my community... but how about MISSIONS?
I see myself on a mission trip in the future - as a doctor... but thats AT LEAST another 6 years!
But how about now? I may not be able to go.. but I can pray.. I can grow... I can give...
I know as I become more involved in Oaktree this year, that I will become better trained, equipped, skilled at some things... I know as I become a medical student, my eyes will be opened up to the the reality facing many...
and what else...?
I'm not sure yet!

♥ compassion child
Josh and I decided we would sponsor a child a while ago
and the opportunitiy came up yesterday at mission conference.
Jamahlyn Teloza
From Philippines, Born Thursday, 15 May 2003
Jamahlyn lives with her parents, brother and sister in the Philippines where 40 per cent of the people live below the poverty line. Her dutues at home include gathering firewood, helping in the kitchen and doing odd jobs.
Jamahlyn's father occasionally works as a farm labourer. For his demanding work he recieved a small allowance, and it is a struggle for him to provide the basic needs his family requires.
Playing house, art and playing with dolls are Jamahlyn's favourite activities. In pre-school she is finding learning difficult and she also regularly attends church activities.
Your love and support help Jamahlyn to receive the assitance she needs to develop her potential. Please pray for her.
You know, I think I've just realized that the past six months have been very self focussed. It's been all about me studying for umat, or about me study for uni, and very much about me setting myself up for the future. Which I do believe is very important, and something I did slightly lose grip of in year 12. But for now, I also believe that I've just missed that sense of actually doing something. It's so easy to get tied up in our own lives that we forget about all those people who need our help.
I believe this year has been a year of 'learning' for me, as I haven't had as much time to be actually 'doing' things. Yes, I've spent the last few months doing UMAT etc, but it's over now. And you know, I really just want to get back into it because, because I feel thats what I have a heart for.
I was having this conversation with Josh last night... and he saying that his way of doing something is by studying really hard because he wants to be the best doctor he can be. He wants to really set himself up for the future and that he's not just going to be a medical student who just passed all his units, but really wants to do well at uni so that he is a good doctor. He's a medical student who really sees that end goal and has that sort of motivation to keep at it so that he can reach there.
But I guess that's how we differ a little. I'm more someone who yes, has that end goal too, but I feel that there are also things that I could be doing now. Rather than just leaving it all for the later years of my life. The struggle for me would be to balance the 'doing now' and the 'preparing to do in future' aspect of things. Because I believe both are as equally important and I will always remember my mother telling me that if I do too much now, it might compromise my preparation for the future (she thinks that I did too much in year 12 that it affected my results - and maybe she's right, but maybe she's not and i would have ended up where i am now anyways)
I guess for me, it's striking that balance. and if I think of it as a spectrum, my boyfriend is more slightly to the preparation for the future side, and i'm more to the doing things now side. but we're not on total contrasts, he still does things now and i am still preparing for my future.
I guess there's only so much time in a day. But my goal for the next six months would be to strike some sort of balance. Because I do need to get really good grades for my GPA still. And I would still like to do some things that I think are important to me without having to feel guilty about not doing umat! lol. because it's over and I've done all I can and now it's time to move on to focusing on other things that are important too.

♥ baby :)
okay my last post may have made me sound a little crazy. baby crazy. haha.
after spending today's service outside in the mum & baby area watching the sermon being streamed via screen, i have realized that there are good quiet babies. and loud energetic babies. ones that are easy to look after. and ones that make you run around like a headless duck.
my boyfriend pointed out to me yesterday that i should stop calling babies 'baby'.. and by their name. because when i was like "babyyy loook at the camera" when taking a photo of cayden and josh yest, he thought i was talking to him.. but really, i was talking to the baby... ...
i must admit, i never really saw my bf as the kid type. but he was surprisingly pretty good with cayden yesterday. which made me smile.
andd.. the coughing fits start again. ARGH. til nxt time~

♥ AR2 & monopoly
wow, u know i've been busy when i haven't blogged much. lol.
got home today and just totally konked out for a good four hours. even skipped dinner tonight.
i played a full game of monopoly today. first time. it was me josh andrew erik peixin monica. i was meant to drop by the beach for eriks bday but he called me to say they were leaving early instead so they dropped by. josh got bankrupt first, then me peixin mon erik teamed up against andrew... and in the end we still lost LOL. sigh.
things felt different today. could be because i was super tired. i can't exactly pin point the reason. but it wasn't the same.
before monopoly we went for dimsum after church. matt and andrew are pretty untalkative haha. then we dropped by the shops to get justin a bday present. poor andrew wanted to go home but josh made him come.
the amazing race was yesterday. haha i think thats what tired me out. nig's seatbelt was broken, and we just had to stop in traffic right next to the cops with speeding cameras who noticed. $500, 4 demerit points. uber painful. we ended up like 13th or 15th or something.. out of like 17 or 20. soooooooo. pretty bad x) but oh wells.
work again tomorrow. and eye appointment just before that. went to look for black satin flats at shoe rack the other day and they didnt have my size. found a pair in target but still no size =[ sigh such fail.
i've decided to get baptised on saturday. everything seemss to be falling into place. i hope my dad comes. u're welcome to come too :) ask for details.
anyways thats it for now, i'm still tired for some reason.
nightyynite.

♥ chickenrice & theFREEmission
yesterday was a very eventful day.
josh fu came over to cook chicken rice YUM!
firstly we stopped by iga, then decided to go mirrabooka square to get the ingrediants..
got back to my place just after 1... and started cooking!
cucumber cut! chicken steamed!
josh fu cutting the chicken... too pro
all done!
so after lunch we made some triple butter popcorn (again! two days in a row for me.. how bad =X) and watched UNTRACEABLE!
UNburnt (sorry peixin) triple butter popcorn
oh yeah, while at coles at mirrabooka, i went to look for foot insoles.. and found them. and it had this sticker on it...
FREE life changing gift inside
the life changing gift... LOL... ONE sockodile peg.. yay. super life changing!
then at nighttime.. my date with josh got canceled and i headed to kae's house for his UWA end of exam shinanigan. unfortunately angeline didn't end up coming.. andddd so..... it was all boys O______O. because mic was still in malaysia.... lol
boys and their games... nat on drums, chris on guitar, and aaron on mic
after a while we went on a mission... it was quite a funny mission, and hopefully i can get it up on video soon (after someone edits it).. it was so random xD and slightly crazy. but fun!
advertising for FREE 20th Nov 09

♥ i'm trading my sorrows
haha, i love how they put "Note: No children were injured in the filming of this video"
i love church. worship was just so fresh. you just forgot the unimportant troubles of life. and lift it all up. and just remember and focus on what is important.
i was standing there in worship thinking to myself, i wish i could come to this everyday.
but the fact is, i can. worship doesn't need a drumkit, bass guitar, keyboard and a lead singer.
there's windows media player. youtube...
but really... you don't even need the music.
the song that comes to mind right now is this..

♥ popcorn & foam
yesterday i tried triple butter popcorn.
yes thats right. triple.
it was lovely. and yes it was one of those microwave packets but they taste sooo gooooddd..
so yesterday i did end up going to the party. it was a foam party.
yes. that's right, foam!
it was pretty cool huh! but very short lived fun kinda thing though. but a very different and original kinda party.
it was fun, but long and tiring. foam can only entertain for so long (the machine stopped), and i only knew so many people. and it was very grouped already so it wasn't so easy to meet new people and engage in a convo, when they're all sorta in their own groups.
after being convered in foam (yes even my hair) thanks to the tbc boys (which i should stop calling tbc but rather lh now)... it was kinda sticky. like it dried and it felt like ( as josh put it ) "someone had licked all over you"... err yes. and how he knows how that feels - i do not know.
i ended up sleeping til 1pm the next day, skipped church, =X. i had some questions for pastor but maybe i'll email him.
must dig into some hardcore study today. sorta was thinking about it today as i was lying in bed, not wanting to get up. there is so much content to get through... for all my units. and exams are rapidly approaching. i technically don't even have a study break because my hbio exam in on that thurs and psyc is on the sat. boo!
anyways. time to wake up the boyfriend from his 10 minute nano nap. 'til next time.

♥ over the edge
instructor called, he said he has to charge me for one hours worth for yesterday.
that just tipped me off the edge.
called my boyfriend and just started crying on the phone to him.
just feels like nothing is going right.
my boyfriend said i'm stronger than this.
but i don't think i am. not without God.
i really need to just fall onto God and trust that He has a purpose for my life.
exbf just called. after a fifteen minute phone call i'm feeling better. i wonder if he picked up that i was crying about half way through. coming to terms with the possibility that medicine isn't for me... is just. difficult. because i have always believed it's what i want and it's what was for me.
anyways talking now to my christian friend. he's slightly older. haha. more experience with life. but doesn't know how to deal with emotional teenagers =P.
okay i feel better now. so i shall stop this emo blog now

♥ merging circles
i'm a pretty friendly person, and i don't find it all too difficult to strike a conversation with a friend of a friend, or even a total stranger.
this ability has allowed me to throw myself in a room of people i have never met before, and come out with some new friends.
it's a blessing and definitely something that works well being on the welcome team.
we all have circles of friends.
sometimes it tears me in two when there are fall outs within friendship circles. it is difficult, obviously, when your friends don't get along.
it becomes even more increasingly difficult when you begin to mix different groups.
sure, some are very comfortable where they are, and don't want to move out of their own circle. and that's cool. neutral is okay, as long as there's no tension between groups i reckon.
my boyfriend is a big part of my life. but so are my family and friends.
i'm glad he gets along with my family. he still needs to work on the hugging my mum thing though, he's really awkward about it...... anddd he thinks my dad's jokes are lame, but hey, doesn't everyone?! and yes, he doesn't really talk to my sister, and lets keep it that way.
i get along with most of his friends. and i guess its pretty easy to strike a conversation with them.
but i find that he's not so good with my friends. i agree that they don't really know him. but i guess he's just not very good with first impressions. hah, even i didn't have very nice first impressions of him either.
i've realized though, that just because i'm like this, that i should not expect him to be like that too.
but one day, sigh, maybe i won't have to live such a double life. and merging those two circles won't be such an issue anymore.
but in the meantime, it's just baby steps. very. slow. baby steps.
hopefully forward ones too.
anyways on another note. i find it very difficult to say sorry =[ it isn't easy. esp when i think i'm right abt the issue, it still doesn't justify my actions a lot of the time. i'm learning to say it. i'm learning to realize. but i'm still never the first one to do so ^^"

yesterday at church i learnt a few things (other from the sermon msg):

anyways. i've got about 3 of those SU books. and i really should read dreaming with God (sorryyy mic, i will finish it, one day!).. and i've still got a book called hearing from God, which i got for my bday from zin a while back. i did start it. just never got through it. which seems to be a common occurance for all my books (esp uni books!)
oh and just for general reading..... i still have handle with care AND sister's keeper to get through! lol :) i should really bring a book with me to read on the bus (but fb phone is usually what keeps me entertained)
which reminds me. i still want to see sisters keeper at the movies =[ but i might as well wait for the dvd to be out to rent. and ponyo is out!!! i just watched the trailer. same director as spirited away. okay its kiddish but w/e i still want to watch it =P

P.S. for those who don't use facebook, check out this vid =) its funny. according to louis i use all of them x) but i sooo do not! wongfu ftw ^^

♥ random thoughts
- i don't like it when he wants me to look a certain way. i've accepted the way he dresses, and he should do the same for me. plus i dont even think i'm that bad =(
- i don't like it when he watches movies until late at night, and i end up staying up just waiting for him, then end up sleeping really late.
- it makes me cry when i hear the pastor telling the their fathers to use the oil to annoint their children tonight... knowing that my father won't be doing that for me.
- but i can pray that one day he will... and that my future husband will walk in the truth of God's love and grace... alongside me.
- i wish i was stronger.
- today i was challenged to pray for my sister, not just by myself, but actually pray over her, with her. the difficulty of that is very great. for those who know how much my sister and i get along. my faith will be tested.
- it feels good when he actually acknowledges how i look. it shows he takes notice.
- he messaged my dad happy fathers day via sms...... before i even woke up and had the chance to say it to him first.
- i am blessed to have a mother, who despite her circumstances, remains full of faith and love.
- mum annointed us with the oil after lunch.
- she's also told me she was going to do it again tonight for my sister and her ear infection. i think God knew i was scared/nervous >.<>
- today i also shook my bf's parents hands. when i think abt it, its kinda weird. i shake hands with official people at competitions and stuff. not really my friends parents, let alone my bf's parents. i like how i make him hug my mum when she gives him stuff. my mum's a kinda huggy person, or has become so over the past few yrs, it makes our family more closer i reckon. will have to say something when she gives him the chinese chess set, so that they hug again. hehe.
- i am still deciding if i should alter all my jeans. i think so far, definitely my flares, bootleg and those pair of wide pants (because u can't really wear them otherwise). but for the skinnys....... they're just going to remain inside my boots, and for my straights, i want to be able to wear them with both heels and flats... hence shortening them would still mean i would have to fold them in/up for flats.
- i washed the dishes. and am in the process of taking in my clothes. geez i am being a good daughter today, better appreciate it while it lasts mum/dad!
- gonna get into some chemistry today. had lots of fun the past two days. but its time to hit the books. chem midsem in a week!
- not having my dad going to church, really makes me want a husband who i know won't go down that path. but then again, i'm sure my mother didn't foresee it when she was getting married.
- i need to start praying for him more consistently.

♥ kelvin & evelyn's wedding
i heart weddings. they're so pretty. and sweet. and full of love.
it also makes me think of what kinda wedding i want xD.
venue: wesley church.
located in the heart of the city, parking was a pain.
a traditional looking church, and much smaller than i was expecting!
slightly echo-ish. and yes, not a fan of the stainglass windows =/...
but it's different.
the order of service.
ahaha, she's so small xD its cute. i like the black and white ness of it. and the design.
simple and sweet. i like.
oh the actual service was pretty short too! like 1hr.
oh i forgot to take a picture of the invite. it was kinda like a postcard. haha, my siser liked it, but im a big fan of those fold out invites with the pretty layered paper.
the couple.
i don't really have a good picture of ev's dress. but it was pretty. nice and boofy. ahaha. with a train too!
i wonder how she's going to get around when taking photos xD.
it was a very detailed dress though, a lot of beading, and quite delicate. it looked heavy too.
kelvin was in a grey suit, im not a fan of grey suits, but he looked good. i found it slightly weird that him and his best man wore different coloured/styled suits.
the decorations.
i think the girls did a great job, if u look carefully in the picture above this one, you can see little lights in the background, yeah they're actually candles. they actually had like stands for candles to surround the room xD quite romantic. but G kept going to relit them haha. i liked the flowers (above) it was used for the isle decor. the bridal party actually had like roses, very light pinkish/cream/white ones, yeah the flowers for the isles must have been pricey =/ but i like orchids. im surprised they didnt go for purple ones though? since that was the bridesmaid dress colour.
me.
this was what i wore. i must admit, i didn't put that much effort in =( i was kinda in a rush in the morning. got ready in like half an hour, including shower xD. yeah, forgot necklace, earrings, foundation and eyeliner (it disappeared!)
anyways, next wedding is tracys =) and im excited for it!
meantime, im exhausted. so off i go.
