Day # 112

Every country is the same in God's eyes, just like how each and every one of us are the same in His eyes. He loves us just as we are. I am blessed to be a Malaysian. Not only because Malaysia has the most yummy food (in my eyes), but also because of the multi languages we have. I am blessed because I can understand mandarin, malay, english, hokkien, cantonese, and a bit of hakka. Not many people can talk bad behind my back. hahaha kidding ;P I love Malaysia, and I thank God for Malaysia :)

Selamat Hari Merdeka ke-53, Malaysia!

Day # 111

Today, I thank God for random puff pastry + banana + raisins + white choc bits baking, cookies & cream cheesecake at mcd with sis for my SECOND dinner, and some noodles for supper thankyouverymuch. How FAT is that?! lol...

Day # 110

Church. Cake. Char Kuey Tiao. Gelati. Ribs. Mashed potato. Salad. Cheeses & crackers. Lemon tart.

*Ahem*

Such an foodful day! And they were all delicious :) teehee, I'm fat. but I thank God for food ^^

Day # 109 (28/08/10 Saturday)

Started my day with a grumpy mood up until I stepped into the ice skating ring. It was ok (I had more fun at the KL one, to be honest). Aileen sprained her ankle so we went to the hospital together. Then supper at chilli padi. Awesome time together despite many other "complains". Lol anyway, it was still a great time overall.. laughter and all.. so I thank God for that :)

Day # 108 (27/08/10 Friday)

Tiff and her sis are in Melb for holiday!! Had dinner with them and the rest of the gang (not all tho) at TianFu Sichuan. Awesome fooddd yumm :) Brunetti after, only had a cup of tea as I was too full from dinner (and was treated by Michael), and had a lift home :) Such a great time, I thank God for this kinda random event :)

Day # 107

Today, I thank God for helping me study and for Autumn Concerto! ^^

Day # 106

One of the lady who interviewed me called in today saying that I was not successful, the main reason being my lack of experience. Though a little disappointed, I'm still happy she called. And, I remember saying that no matter what, I will still rejoice in the Lord :) For He knows the plans He has for me; plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). I am gonna continue standing firm in Him, trust Him, and know that He is going to provide. :) Thank You Father God.

Day # 105

Reached home just in time to avoid the rain! haha really thank God for His blessings and protection. :)

Also, have a look at today's post in precious moments. :)

Day # 104

I thank God for the fine weather today :) It was sunny the whole day. Since I was to help an uncle from church get some stuffs from 570 st kilda rd, I decided that I should explore the park along that tram line too as it is highly unlikely that I'll go back. It was awesome. I wanted to stay there and study but I know I won't be able to do so alone and outdoors (so I went to the lib after). lol

The 2 pictures below were taken from the park.

Love the flowers. They were one of the reasons I willingly got off the tram.

Walked home just now and saw something that I've never noticed before every time I take that route.

My everyday should be something like this. Exploring, doing something I never do that will make life more interesting. Seeing what I've never seen, feeling what I've never felt... and knowing that even though I am one, I am not alone.

Day # 103

Drove sis, Joyo, Nudge and Mikey to Preston Market (near-ish) after church for yumcha today! I must say, Nudge is a pretty good driving instructor! lol I'm sorry for all the heart attack moments. All in all, I thank God for His protection, and for such a wonderful lunch! mmm yum yum :)

Day # 102

I thank God for a great God! and therefore I'm gonna sing my love to him! Enjoy the video below :)

Sing My Love

Verse 1

Words can never say the way he says my name

He calls me lovely

No one ever sees the he looks at me

He sees me holy

Words can never hold this love that burns my soul

Heaven holds me

Oh, heaven holds me

(Chorus)

Can't hold my love back in you

Can't hold my love back in you

I've gotta sing

I've gotta sing

Sing my love

To you Jesus yeah

(Verse 2)

You will not believe the way he touches me

He burns right through me

I could not forget every word he said

He always knew me

Earth could never hold this love that burns my soul

Heaven holds me

Oh, heaven holds me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Day # 101

Was on the phone with aunt for almost 30 mins this afternoon! It was good conversation, so I thank God for that :)

Day # 100

Two different hospitals within 3 days, two different types of wards. Two different types of atmospheres, two different types of emotions. One was the ward of "death", the other was the ward of "life". One consists of sadness and grief, the other of happiness and joy. But both had one thing in common.. they are both a celebration. For the 1st ward mentioned: Although he will be dearly missed by all of us, I believe Daniel is in heaven with God, and he will be looking over his dear ones here. I pray for God's comfort and strength to be with the family and friends during this moment. For the 2nd ward mentioned: A child is born! :) Praise God for a lovely healthy baby girl. She is a gift to her parents and her parents' friends (aka me. hehe). I pray that God will bless her throughout her life, and that she will grow in Him!

Anyway, it's my 100th day today!! Awesomeness :) thank God for helping me keep this up for a hundred days now, and I know for sure that He will continue to help me keep up this challenge for the next 265 days!

Day # 99

Today I thank God for His protection and for smooth journey to the interview location. Was able to find the place, thankfully. and was early :)

Day # 98

When I least expected...

I received a call from La Trobe University today regarding an interview for a position I applied for in June. Really really thank God for this opportunity. I don't know if I will be able to get the job, but I will do my best. The rest is in God's hands :)

Day # 97

Today, I thank God for Joyce Meyer's devotions. :)

Day # 96

Thank God for strength today, and for patience. Also, was able to watch Inception with Mx today :)

Day # 95 (14/08/10 Saturday)

Everything was ok up until after city cell. We wanted to go for ice skating since we missed the impact one on Friday night. So being the enthusiastic me, I volunteered to drive. Of course I expected the drive to be short and easy. Didn't know there were road works, didn't know footy was on and there were SO MANY people on the streets AND so many cars on the road. It took us awhile to get to somewhere close to Docklands. Topped with all the shoutings and "advices" in the car, I couldn't be more stressed. I was literally at the verge of crying but I couldn't, because 1. there were other people in the car, 2. I needed a clear vision to drive, 3. I had to concentrate first, and 4. I believe I'm not that bad a driver (I'm just a learner k. some people drive worse than me lols jks). And by the time we reached our destination, everyone including myself, were not in the mood to skate anymore (also because it was a bit late already, like 10pm). So we had a drink at one of the restaurants and headed home after. Such drama. I was still not very happy at that time. Then before I sleep, I remembered taking video during our city cell ice breaker and so decided to watch it. I LOL-ed. The city cellers are so funny. Love them :) ... and my mood instantly switched from being unhappy to happy :) Thank God for that.

Day # 94 (13/08/10 Friday)

Chilli India, Cho Gao, Party World for awhile, and Es's place. Had such an awesome time despite Friday the 13th. I believe my God is greater than a "bad luck" day. For ["No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgement you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me," says the Lord.] Isaiah 54:17 nkjv

On another note,

Love this little boy

:)

I want a pet dog too please.

Day # 93

Today, I thank God for yummy food. Went to Laksa King @ Flemington with sis for dinner just now. Laksa King is famous for its curry laksa but I've never really tried it until today! Every time we go there, I'd order Assam Laksa, Tom Yum seafood, or some other rice dishes (they are all good!). So today I decided to go for Chicken Curry Laksa. Mannn, it was so goooddd. Yummm.

Day # 92

Today I thank God that despite all the clickings (refer to today's post titled "Because I decided" on Precious Moments), I managed to study Financial Reporting up to where I targeted even though I probably took longer than usual xD

Also, thank God for all the clickings. If not for them, I wouldn't click into Joel Osteen Ministries' daily note on fb and read this:

The Fruit of Our Words

by Joel Osteen Ministries on Friday, August 6, 2010 at 1:17am

Today’s Verse: “I create the fruit of the lips…” (Isaiah 57:19, KJV).

Today’s Word:

Did you know that your words are like seeds? They have creative power. In the future, we will eat the fruit of our words. That means our words are going to produce exactly what we’re saying.

That’s why it’s so important to make positive declarations over our lives every single day. We should say things like “I am blessed. I am prosperous. I am healthy. I am talented. I am creative. I am wise.” When we do this, we are standing in agreement with God’s Word. We are sowing good seed. We are preparing our future for when we arrive.

Today, make sure you are sowing good seed with your words. Speak God’s Word which is truth that will set you free. Let His Word fill your heart and mind and direct your mouth with what to say. Set yourself up for success in your future and pave the way for victory with your words today!

Prayer for Today: Father God, thank You for Your Word which is truth that sets me free. Help me to guard my words and sow good seed into my future. I choose to hide Your Word in my heart. Keep me close to You and direct my steps. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Day # 91

A sms conversation between me and someone I did not know, who has the same name as someone I barely knew (both are from Hosanna church and Korean), pre-ended with me texting:

"Haha yes yes all the best! God will make a way! :) i like it here too Haha"

God will make a way.

What a perfect reminder

and I thank God for that.

:)

Day # 90

Driving lesson was cancelled, which was good in a way as I didn't have to spend that amount of money this week! hehe..

The weather was so good just now. Sunny and all :) I went to the park nearby when I came home from uni just now. Listened to songs on my new iPod while basking in the awesome sunshine. Felt like all my frustrations and worries and stresses disappeared at that moment. Although only for awhile, I still thank God. :)

=======================

Day # 89 (08/08/10 Sunday)

Church. Lunch. Bubble tea. Mahjong. Dinner. Thank God for such a wonderful time!

=======================

Day # 88 (07/08/10 Saturday)

I finally cleaned the bathroom today! The bathroom looks so clean I don't mind spending more time in there lol. So yes, I thank God for the motivation to clean the bathroom today.. had been putting it off ever since renovation day :S On another note, city cell was awesome! Especially the juggling session and guitar/ukulele session after ;)

Day # 87 (06/08/10 Friday)

We had dinner at Peko Peko. It's jap/taiwanese fusion. I had a chilli chicken peko box. mmm not bad ;) Then we went to play pool. I barely "goaled", but it was fun nonetheless. Also learned some new techniques hehe. Then we headed back to the city and bummed at GYT's place. Watched "The Last Song" til 1.30am. My latest night ever... sort of. The movie was awesomeeeee!! I teared, and used 4 pieces of tissues D; Love the movie, but love the novel more! Go read the book people (if there's anyone else reading this blog besides my sis lol)! It's by Nicholas Sparks :) Great author. And had a lift home after :)

For all of the above, I thank God.

On a side note, I thank God for helping me study for CPA once again! :)

Day # 86

I thank God for the below:

I've been searching for my TFN letter high and low the whole day today. Ok, maybe not the whole day.. but even when I was not searching, it was constantly on my mind. So when I was taking shower just now, I tried figuring out where I'd put such stuffs. From what I remember, the last time I took it out was earlier this year for Hostplus details. That time it was still in the envelope, so I decided to keep it in a file. A file where I kept most of my important stuffs. Why it didn't come across my mind to search more thoroughly when I went through that file during the day, I do not know. What I know, is this:

"Luke 15:3-5 He told them this parable. "Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing."

That, is exactly what I'm feeling now. lol that TFN letter is like my "lost sheep". Even though I had other alternatives (actually I already knew my TFN by checking the Hostplus details), I still wanted to look for that piece of paper. Now that I've found it, I am rejoicing. My sky is blue. lol

On another note, I thank God for an awesome sister. She bought me an ipod ^^ I love being the youngest at home. I am so pampered blessed. :)

Day # 85

Yay. Thank God I managed to finish Module 1 for Strategic Management Accounting today at the library :)

Day # 84

I thought the award ceremony would be another boring one until I heard a quote from the guest speaker, Elizabeth Smolinska:

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Now, that is something! Glad to know that I listened during the speech. lol... So if I want to achieve something great in life, I have to be enthusiastic when doing that particular thing. No wonder I haven't achieved anything great thus far. Not really. I love driving, and I think I'm doing great! xD Anyway, I thank God for the yummy light refreshments after the ceremony. Teehee ^^

Day # 83

Thank God I managed to study for CPA today! It was so tiring because I woke up at 6am today to accompany sis to service our car. Thank God it was only 1 hour 15 mins! Read manga to pass time lol .. Also thank God for the time spent with 11 at Max just now :)

Day # 82

Drove to Aunt Lena's home at Glen Waverly after church today. It rained and hailed on the way. Thank God for protection and bringing us there and home safely :)

===================

Day # 81

30/07/10

Marysville for picnic (Homemade Nasi Lemak + Hakka mee), Lake Mountain for toboggan and snow/ice sculpture, Buxton trout & salmon farm, and Pancake Parlour. Rated as the BEST outing for the month. Love it! Thank You Lord :)

===================

Day # 80

29/07/10

Went to Hosanna Church of Christ's 7th Anniversary celebration with SarahH, 11, and Mx @ Arrow on Swanston. Breathtaking presentations, I must say. I am so very impressed by 'em Koreans. lol And it was my first time listening to a sermon in Korean. It was AWESOME! And the translator was the preacher's daughter. She was amazing :) Thank God for such a wonderful time, and also for the free public transport day thing ^^
