I'm happy. :) God is always faithful and I believe that. I guess my prince did come. :)

Little by little

It's amazing how the ones that are closest to you hurts you the most.

I remember God's answer for me when I asked him what happens if another girl took the guy that's meant for me? What happens if his heart wonders off like so many or tries to replace me with someone else.

And His answer was

Song of Solomon 6:3 (King James Version)

³I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.

If that is your answer God, then I know you will provide me with someone that doesn't play games, or is confuse about me or wouldn't take the risk for me.

I pray that you will decide for me and show me clearly. Thank you~

Thank you God

2010-05-11T06:06:00.000-07:00

Thank you God for everything.

Psalm 139:17

17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! ¹⁸If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

God, bless my career and my loved ones~.....

This year is the best birthday ever.

Wednesday - My landlady cooked me assam laksa & mango pudding

Thursday - Colleagues decorated my desk & wished me Happy Birthday. I went fine dining with a prince.

Friday - Went out with colleagues.

Thanks God, for this year's amazing birthday. I pray you will continue to bless me and my career and bless me with a prince. ~♥~

What is this?? Treasureee?

YUCKKKK!!

Gratitute.

2009-11-19T03:48:00.000-08:00

I'm grateful for the job I'm in. So happy God provided.

Such an economy with so many people losing their job, but I got mine.

I'm grateful for the friends I have in Sydney too. They are really precious treasures. Always there to listen and be joyful for my happiness.

I'm so grateful for my God's promises in my life. I'm clinging on to them. For all the promises of God are Yes and Amen in Christ Jesus. That is the verse he gave me this week.

My El Shaddai...

2009-10-12T04:24:00.000-07:00

I don't know why but I feel His presence so strongly these days. I feel so inlove with my El Shaddai.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul.

In Love

2009-09-19T05:43:00.001-07:00

God, how could I not love you when you love me so much?
When I cried out, you hear me and deliver me.

Given me good things to satisfy me.

Blessed me with a beautiful future full of hope.

Find rest my soul. For He is good and His mercy endures forever.

Offer

2009-09-04T10:22:00.000-07:00

Thank you God~ Thank you so much. Today was my last day at my company. I will miss the boss and everyone there but I knew that if I stayed longer, I would resent it and it would tear me to pieces.

So I made a bow, a way of saying farewell to the company and left. Abit teary, feels like a breakup (like the company was my boyfriend or something).... seriously, I have got to not marry my work!

So time for a new beginning, a new life~

Double Rainbow.

2009-07-08T04:39:00.000-07:00

I have been really lost in figuring out my career life for the past couple of days. And then last week, a Christian brother reaffirmed the vision he has of me from God!

Today, I went to work and there was a Rainbow on the top of my work building. Isn't it pretty?

(It's also a double rainbow, if you look carefully, there's another rainbow ontop of the bright one)

The rainbow speaks to us of the Promises of God. He is always faithful.

So wherever I am, God, help me to be faithful and work well because I wanna do everything for your glory~

Canberra.

2009-07-08T04:23:00.000-07:00

City of Canberra. CITY?!?!? How can this be a City?!? If I have to work for the government and transfer here.... umm I'd cry.

Took som

e pictures of other countries High Commission. Ummm the Singaporean building doesn't seem to be a distinct cultural building.... hehe~

Canberra has the most boring airport for a capital city in my opinion.

Finally, a very tired out picture of me! Luckily I don't have to go back for another 5 years!

Power Of Right Associations

2009-06-15T05:16:00.000-07:00

I listened to Joel Osteen's message, The Power of right associations.

The people you choose to associate with and the people you choose as friends have tremendous impact on whether or not you fulfill your God-given destiny. You will become like the people you continually spend time with. If you associate with successful people, you increase your chances of being successful. If you associate with people who have a big vision, people who have big dreams, and people who are going places, they will inspire you to accomplish more than you ever thought possible! But remember, just the opposite is also true. If you hang around lazy, undisciplined people who are negative and critical, then their defeated mentality will affect you. That’s why it’s so important that you choose the right people to associate with. If you’ll be selective about whom you associate with, you will rise higher and higher. God will pour out His blessings and favor, and you’ll live the life of victory He has in store for you!

I have so much vision for my future. So much hope and faith in the things to come. I'm not worried or scared about my career, my love life, my family life, my relationships and my future because I have soo much faith in the plans God has for me and I can see His hand in my life.

So I have decided. I have to start cutting off and spending less time with people with negative spirits, condeming & judgemental spirits, anxiety and worrisome spirits and self-pity. I'm gonna fly away from all these people. Fly fly and be free. I need to breathe.

God, you know that I care for people but please bring people of fresh vision, hope and dreams into my life. People of high impact and see the world through your eyes, bringing your glory and being a blessing in life.

God hears~

2009-05-23T23:42:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting to hear a prophesy or a word from God for a while already.

Last Saturday when I went to church, this girl randomly sit next to me tapped me and started prophesying into my life.
She said " I don't really know you but I just want to let you know that God is going to use you. He sees your love for people and your heart is big. God is going to use you." Then I felt tears in my eyes.

I wish that everybody in church would come to love and care for each other more and put down the walls they build. Then everybody marries each other and lives happily ever after. Yay~ (and pays me a big reward for matchmaking!!) Wee~~

As for me, God will take care of everything. He's got a great Hope and Future planned for me. And somewhere in that future is a love story like Ruth's.... (ummm except that I wont be that poor girl who lost her husband or so poor and pick up grain in the field... but you get the idea!)

Weeeee~~~~~

A trip to the doc

2009-03-10T03:02:00.001-07:00

I went to the doc yesterday and ended up with two shots.

1. Tetanus on my right hand. Accidentally cut my hand with umbrella.

2. HPV vaccine on left hand. Since its funded by the government til June, might as well get it! Cos one day, when I'm married... ughhh ... I suspect I'll be doing what married people do.... ewwwwwwwwwww~

You know how the picture of the girl happily taking the HPV shot? She must be crazyyy!!!!

1. The needle HURTS! And after that, your arm feels abit sore. (Right hand no hurt at all)

2. Not feeling perky today and popped panadol.

3. Please please fever, don't come.

4. Uwhaaaaaa I still have 2 more shots to go before I'm 100% immune!

But I would definitely recommend this vaccine for the girls out there. Do it for your future family!

Beautiful Beautiful future....

2009-03-08T06:36:00.000-07:00

I went to church today and just soak up in the presence of God. It was a full on worship night.

On Saturday night I was at church also and then a bunch of us went to hang out and opened up to each other about christianity and our lives. Its great to be in God's house and with His people.

A year ago at this month, I was crying out to God because of the brokeness in my life. Now everything is being fully restored. I know my life now will go from strenght to strength and a beautiful (and successful) future awaits for me. Thank you for everything God.

(New year's at Sydney)

Psalm 37:4 (King James Version)

⁴Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

I want God to be my first LOVE!! I want it to be that no career, no guy, no friends, no family and nobody is ever ever going to take first place in my life. Only God.

Now this does not mean giving up all cash and being a nun on a missionary trip. People get that so mixed up. But its putting God first and everything else falls into place. I love you God.

On a side note, bruddah... unless you look like this guy... you CANNOT have a JANGGUT!!!

Chronological Events

2009-03-01T21:12:00.000-08:00

Thursday early monring, before I slept... I prayed.

God please give me a job.

And on Thursday morning, got the phone call. Company who kept my resume on file wanted to interview for a different position.

So by Friday, with lack of sleep,went to Interview

Went to church twice. I just soak up in God's presence and I felt that my breakthrough was coming.

So on Monday, I waited and waited. Phonecall "We decided to hire you." (dancing for joy) "oh that's good news!" So, I'm going to be working 17th of March on a Capital Raising project that will probably last for 3 months!!

Yay! Doesnt pay much but.... This will be a great platform to propel me into bigger companies, I will meet industry BIG-SHOTS and gained work experience relevant for Investment Banking!!!!!!! YAY!

God is GREAT. He really does answer prayers! And I didnt have to do all the hardwork, applying, going through rigorous interview processes... and this is something relevant that I want.

Praise God

Excuse me~

2009-02-25T05:08:00.000-08:00

There have been some speculation as to the size of my body now. Apparently Sanko-chan (sista) has came back after 3 months and go "OMG you become thinner? Depression issit???"

And I was like.... wha?? Slimmer? Weee~?

Then received message from Dad... "okok come back!!! or go Melbourne see relative!!! Eat well!!!"

Aiyoooo~ I'm fine. I lose one job doesnt mean the end of the world for me! (And that was the exact week of my PMS!) Although I am at a slow pace now, I'll keep praying. God must have something great in store for me.

And I have never been healthier eating home cook food. Lots of non-oily Veggies!

Anyways... here's a pic of me looking at my body... (of course I adjusted my body to the side so you cant see my cute ketiak fat~~ so cute)... *ok, I know what mum and dad thinking... OM gosh!! No smile...(ya cos i focus on looking at image in camera) !!

Here's pic with smiles (of course I deleted the pics that look weird and only put the best one up for you to see).... I still have hips, I still have boobs ok!!! Ah I should be a supermodel now.... *sweat*

Btw, nice shirt, I have an awesome mum. Keep me in prayers.

°º ♥ º°

2009-02-20T17:16:00.000-08:00

Anyways, long story short..... something went terribly wrong that I was sooo stunt I was lost for a while. Lost the job I waited 3 months to see the CEO. I suspect its a hiring freeze from Sg.

I was feeling blue today and a friend told me to not lose faith and hope. And I realize that was what's happening to me. I was losing faith and hope. Even in God. I was encouraging myself soo much, but I let the circumstances drown me.

My friend said we'll all look back and laugh at this one day.

So, I'm imagining myself in a coffee shop with friends. We're all successful and looking back laughing. That's my hope now. (oh, btw, by then I would be married with 2 children) Weee~

So here's my request to you, God,

1. Please bless me with a great career soon.

2. Please bless me with a beloved one at your timing! Someone I can share God's love with and loves me. Let it be simple for me. No confusion and no silly games. And I am going to be beautiful inside and outside for God!

3. Please bless my family.

And here is my thanksgiving,

1. Thank you God for great friends. Keep 'em coming.

2. Thank you for people to help me.

In you name Jesus I pray, Amen.

2009-01-28T23:10:00.000-08:00

Finished interview. Really hope I get this. Favour favour please flow in my life. ~_~

I wanna stay.

Happy Chinese New Year loved ones! Woahhh~ Luckily I not home so aunties can't pester me about love life!

God please bless me with a great career~!

Crazyyy

2009-01-11T02:08:00.000-08:00

I have been very blessed being here. Sometimes I can go crazy from the waiting.... But the waiting is going to be over soon. Soon.... I hope.

I am mixing around with older Christian people. Yes, it's great to draw on their wisdom... but I think I am going crazy with somethings too. Like how they always talk about relationship issues. So the things that go on like how everybody is desperately looking for their other half & how people are turning olderrrr is sending my panic buttons up the roof. (And cos they are more "mature" Christian, I've taken almost EVERYTHING they said as the ultimate truth!)

Then I realize, I should just rested on what I've always believed in.

I always thought that God knows whats best for me and will bring the right one at the right time. If I can trust God for impossible things that He has answered then, this is not too hard for him. So I'm not worrying. I'm not panicking. I am not doing dum dum things. I'd rather be single than be with someone God has not meant for me. Enjoy life.

I really hope that, as I grow older, I will still have the child-like faith mentioned in the bible. That times and life won't wear me down, won't make me become hard, turn me to a grouch, won't make me bitter, won't make me lose faith and most of all, won't make me lose joy.

Other than that, I have other things to settle in my life. Like God, please bless me with this interview and please let this be it.

And this baby girl is turning 24. Happy Birthday.

Merry Christmas

2008-12-26T03:17:00.001-08:00

First time Christmas in Australia without family~ Thank you God that the day didn't pass by empty or alone. Cos I love Christmas. Alot. There's always peace and joy. Family. Carols. I love it.

I spent time in a friend's friend place and his family. And I loved it. It reminded me of home. They were also speaking hokkien. The family there reminds me of my family home too.

God, I miss home and friends. (Whyyy on earth must all my friends go back?) I really do. But I know I have to make my life here. Let this be worth it and let me glorify your name! I love you God!

Recap

2008-12-16T17:39:00.000-08:00

I bought a beautiful suit and went for an interview. I feel inlove with the company and position (networking, corporate figure, challenging job). I really want this job. Even though my Insurance and Risk Management subject was the subject I took because it ONLY fit my timetable and the lecturer was soooo boring in character & teaching and the way the lecturer marked my subject was soooo wrong, maybe there was a reason God let me take this subject. After the interview, I felt I really want this!

God, let me ACE this interview please. Amen

Dum dums.

2008-12-05T21:36:00.000-08:00

Seriously I feel like kicking someone. Someone took the pot I used to cook my ginseng soup and transferred my food into a dirty pot! How could people in IH be so DUM DUM?! Even if the nice pot belongs to some, at least transfer my food to a CLEAN pot! (ALL MY SOUP DOWN THE DRAIN!) I am so tempted to curse the person under my breath but I felt God tell me, Let it go, Let it go. T___T (God, why must you put impossible people to live with me)

Other than that, I am enjoying my holidays. Always hanging out with good friends. Ahhh rainbow skies.

Updates

2008-11-11T05:43:00.000-08:00

Hmmm after exam, life feels so free but boring. -__-. Other than the occasional applying for jobs, I am going to be joyful and enjoy the holidays! Get fit with gym. Went out with Hans, Tucky and Michael and Hans and Tucky said I got slimmer. Yayyyy!

This pic is my friend who went to New York to work! I am going to miss you! But one day I really wanna go New York to work! Nothing is impossible with God!

And the other is a pic of my catholic bible study group! Ahh I will miss them! Other than that, there is alot of fun and drama with people from church. I have always been praying for God to bring me good Christian friends and people and I believe he has. Thank you God.

Pray that my numerical and verbal reasoning will become EXCELLENT cos I am going to take a test. :)

YAyyyy

2008-10-15T22:48:00.000-07:00

Yay!! I just got my new computer.... weeee

ARIGATOUUUU!!! Now time to apply more jobs...

I wanna be an investment banker >_<

I wanna marry a CEO.... or become one myself. haha

Other than that, I feel happy and healthy. Yayyy!

Update?

2008-10-12T03:23:00.000-07:00

Yes yes, I know I havent been updating but I have been
1. Busy
2. Without a computer
3. T___T nothing to say

But I have been very blessed. God has bring good people into my life. Synergistic eagles.

Update

2008-08-10T07:31:00.000-07:00

I'm applying job and today I renew my gym membership for 3 months and they gave me 1 month FREE! AUD150 for 4 months! The good thing is I feel HEALTHY. Not only that, my period this time did not hurt much and was smooth! And I feel HEALTHY. And I can fit into a GORGEOUS BLUE dress, which I am saving it for a DATE! >_< (kyaaaa...) Don't get too excited yet, I don't have one yet. So God, please bless me with one so I can wear my blue dress.
Thank God that I have answers for a case study because I wouldnt be able to cope with it myself because its ACCOUNTING!!!! Thank God.

Photos again

2008-08-07T07:02:00.000-07:00

Foundation dinner I wore my red dress which alot of people say is nice. Really? Of course I am! And I cut my hair for that day... yup. There was this cute korean guy that cuts so in detail and delicately.... and even opened the door for me....kyaaaa!!! (whereas the other korean ladies cut snip snap, like trimming a bush or something)
This is a picture of James! A really good friend who gives me and Dewi lots of good advice on relationship issues. I almost went beserk also until I listen to his advice and insights.

Photos!!!!

2008-07-27T08:36:00.000-07:00

Finally? Finally you say? How did Stephanie manage to ... GASP* get the photos!!!!! (HAH! My blog is not that boring now issit! :P)
Weeee..... Now I decided must take more photos. A picture speaks a thousand words!

Anyways, since sankochan already told the story about Hillsong (and not to be a picture stealer from her...) I won't elaborate. Just that I really LOVE the compassion event we went too... snifff... makes me cry. God please bless me with lots of $$$ so I can sponsor a child.

Next is the church camp. Great event except that I got SICK + period + emo!!! But I felt that that was the turning point in my life that God set me free from my past as I just dwell in His presence. There was a really great Christian bro siting beside me, made me feel at peace and beautiful to be with people who LOVES the Lord.

Next is all the hanging out with precious friends! And the slimming down in gym! I'm gonna be beautiful inside, outside and every side of my life!!!! SHINE!!!! I'm gonna be GORGEOUS even at 40+++!!!! (Btw, Hans, please don't be conscious of your weight, you look awesome the chubby way you are !!)

Kyaaaaa!!!! >_< Finally, it's great to know working mature and people, they take care of you so well! I can't wait to work and have working social network life!! God, please bless me that I can and will work in CBD! KYAaaaaaaaaaaa
Please bless me with more REAL (no politics and games) friends!

God, I love you

2008-07-21T08:35:00.000-07:00

I worshiped God and felt His presence strongly and I wanna say,
God, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,
God, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I LOVE YOU

(Yeah yeah, I'll update with real updates soon. I had a FANTASTIC winter holiday! One of the best)

Picture from here

Marvellous are thy works

2008-07-20T09:12:00.000-07:00

Psalm 139:14 :I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

I went to church camp and it was awesome. The only complain I am having now is I remember taking lots of pictures...but I have no idea why nobody sent me anything yet. It's beautiful to be in God's presence.
And the pope came to Sydney and Randwick racecource. (just next to my uni) And someone gave me a pass. I was looking at all the awesome pilgrims coming from all over the world to see him and here he is right next door to me. So I went to the mass and it was beautiful especially the songs in Latin. Beautiful.

I will update more when I finally get pictures..... -__-
