rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

Farewell with teresaAfter the bz weeks since beginning of july, i've missed 2 weeks cell group and church. I'd not seen teresa for almost 3 weeks and suddenly when i got back and settled everything, i heard that teresa is gonna go back china for 2 months next wednesday. So we arranged a makan with her b4 she leaves. This will be my last time meeting teresa.....cannot take it ...its too sudden...i havent been hanging out with her alot yet n it will be the last time i see her. How can it be ? i really feel sad and 不舍得。She is a very sweet, lovely and gentle girl..we give each other so many hugssss b4 leaving...... :(:(:(....how sadd!!! But i hope she will have a great time there in china and let go of things tat happened and get up and regain her confidence and clear her conscience to do great things when she's back in melbourne. teresa, i will pray hard for u yea ....love u ...i know u can through His Grace...!!!But the meal that nite was really nice...we had korean bbq in a restaurant near my house. The food and restaurant was fantastic....the waiter and wine and ice cream there are NO.1 too...hahaha!! Vera is so so so attracted by the korean leng zai who is serving us. hahaha!!!

24.7.2007 Tuesdayafter my parents went back.....i went around melbourne with ian visiting most places in CBD including gardens, most of the exhibitions and others. One of the thing that will make me miss melbourne is the exhibitions that they have here....All are very interesting and its free...They have a lot of theatre show which msia don't. I'm excited about the Phantom of the Opera which i'm goin to watch on 14th aug. It will be a unforgetable experience. I hope i will have a chance to watch something in Hammer Hall - the very exclusive and grand theatre...its really nice...All these things and places are making me fall in love more to Melbourne.. i really love this place and the people here. I really like the lifestyle here. I can say i already adopt the lifestyle here as part of me ::-- sitting under the warm sun in a cold day drinking coffee and chat non stop, eating delicious cakes at the river side with coffee in the evening, walking by beach as the soft breeze blows, eating breakfast by the dock, taking a walk with lovely friends at nite in the most beautiful place in melbourne.....etc.........all these are unforgetable...and i love it !!! i really enjoy alot ... knowing that i only have one month left is really a disaster for me....i felt my heart was heavier by 10kg... so hard to leave ....omgg!!! how ??? somebody tell me how!!! all of them are just so precious to me...especially people whom i hang out with always ....will really miss their accompaniment... :( Shrine of Remembrance
and i went to HAMMER HALL, ST KILDA .... a very very exclusive theatre in melbourne which presents fantastic theatre show and dances. i wish i can go to at least one event before i go back ...see how luxurious the interior is....how nice if i can sit inside the hall enjoying the performance.

finally i'm back writing down the stories of my life which will give me lots of lovely memories when i'm back in msia....
time is ticking every second and every minute...its one week after my graduation - i cannot believe it !!! so fast !!! my graduation was on 18th july 2007 - 12pm - Hawthorn Town Hall. I'm so excited about it, so worried yet so happy that this day finally came and i get to wear the squarish hat on my head.... can't believe it !!! its ALL by the Grace of God... Deep down in my heart flows out the joy which u can c thru my smile :)
Its my BIG DAY !!! i was so nervous the nite b4....can't really lay my head to sleep...so i got up b4 my alarm clock rang and start preparing - choosing wat to wear to make up to hair do ... finally to wat shoes should i put on... :) my dad kept sounding :" ok ...its time to leave... ". We got out and reach hawthorn town hall ard 1045am. Without hesitating, i went up to put on my graduation robe and mortarboard. On the way up into the room, i was greeted by lovely swinburne graduation committees who gave me a big hug and words of congrats. My heart was instantly cheered up ... :)
not long after, fellow classmates start to arrive...and its time for pictures. I'm really happy, really really happy...erhmm....its just .....HAPPY....
The ceremony starts at 12pm sharp. All graduands were gathered in lines and ready to march into the hall. We were led by a man blowing the scotish pipe accompanied by a group of quartets. After all the long winded speeches, its time for the confering of Awards ....Deng deNG dEng!!!!! But it was really short....we studied for one whole year but it only takes 2 minutes to get on stage and received the precious scroll that we all wish for.
But it worth it all...all the hard work, effort, sleepless nites, preassure, tension ....all paid back with the over suprising results - 3HD n 1D ....really never ever expected that i will get these results.....i cant even believe it with my own eyes...its was just so so so shock!!!
I remember that morning 7th July 2007, ian woke me up with a sms and i can't get back to sleep .... my heart pump so fast and i was so scared...this semester was all by the mercy and grace of God. Everything just went tru rushingly but smoothly. When i open swinburne page and log in ......the results was already there immediately without me clicking on the results page. My eyes was driven to the grades column straight away and saw the HD,HD,D,HD...i was confused and was asking myself :" am i at the correct page? izit mine? or did i went into somebody else page? " then i checked my subjects and all the details .....Oh yea .....its mine!! OMG!!! i started laughing and laughing quietly bcoz my housemate are still asleep. My heart was just filled with gratitudes to the Almighty God. I, once again encounter God's grace in my life and my Faith in Him increased. The funny thing is....when i tell my elder sister about it...she was shocked....she asked me :" y are u so happy when u only get a D and with so many D?" hahahahaha!!! i laughed again.....then i told her the grading system here is not like in msia.. We have only HD,D,C,P...hahaha!!! funny ~~~~
But i think the happiest person is my parents ....they must be really proud of their lovely daughters. One of the biggest comfort to parents is to c their children succeed and completed their studies .... i think they are really happy....

My online friend gave me a quote which i think its quite true....
"try to live your life by not expect the outcome but enjoy the the progress"
These few days i've been enjoying the essence of my house. Hahahaha!!! i've got nothing to do at home but to watch dramas and play pirates of the carribean in ps2 - not too bad tho; not tat i like it but just to kill time. Other than tat, i will spent my time cooking and washing up.
Come to think of it,i dun spent money if i be a good gal n stayed home.hahaha!!! life isn't that boring rite? its alrite.....just bear with it a while more...I'm getting more excited to go sydney with my family and my graduation is coming!!!
enjoy the days i have in melbourne b4 goin back...i would really miss here.
but there are somethings that i'm committed to which i need to attend to back in msia. That is y i say sometimes you just cant get what u wanted and put everything into one big perfect puzzle. hope that if its God's will i will for sure be back.
