UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
Since J has been waiting for me to blog (yes i admit i have not been blogging much), i shall blog about some incidents that has happened over the past few months. It's already december, this year has indeed passed so fast.
This year was also filled with deaths from my both sides of my family. It's ironic how my grandmother from my dad's side passed away in feb, and my grandfather from my mum's side passed away in nov. Both had cancer, but didn't really die from it. Both were in their 80s and the saddest part is that not both were Christians. The difference between their funerals and how much they were prepared were really massive. There is a fine line between 'all along' and 'just for now'. Why is that it is so difficult to show basic care and concern when the person is alive? Why wait till they are gone? My grandfather has inspired and touched many of us because he put aside his disappointments (unfortunately) and his anger, asked for forgiveness, forgave others and prayed over his children :') That is what true love is, isn't it?
Anyway i know my grandfather is happily in heaven, enjoying himself in a way we cannot imagine (yet). I envy that he has departed from this wicked world though. All the memories we shared, and the pictures we had will forever be etched in my heart. Till we meet again soon! No goodbyes, only see you later ;)
J came for another sleepover on mon-wed and we sure had lots of bonding/fun together :D We did so many things and laughed so much. I really love our 'scrabble dash - charade game' we made up. My tummy hurt from laughing, but i enjoyed it a lot. Played so much wii (like we always do) and made our very own creations of out clay! Photos below!
J and me :)
Our clay!!!
We went down to blow bubbles...
One of my finished clay product!
Moving on, I finally graduated from Murdoch University! After all the hard work, effort and money, i can proudly say that i have succeeded with the help of God :) Here are some pictures :

LICENSED TO DRIVE.
Looks like it's been a really long time since i've actually updated my blog, and quite a bit of things have happened and are going to happen over these few months.
- I've caved in after a long time and created twitter! (I told myself the day my mum created it, so will i. I kept my promise ;) ) It's actually a very good way of sharing and encouraging people, especially people with the same beliefs, so on that note, it's more interesting than i thought. I guess my intention of twitter is different from many cause i don't follow any celebrity at all!
- Finally passed my driving test on the third try! Passed on the 18th Aug, which means its already been 1 month plus :) I drive mostly on weekends, and am still getting used to situations and routes... really fun and enjoyable. Can't wait to be confident enough to be able drive alone.
- Am a proud owner of my own SLR, the olympus pen EPL-1. Yeah, it's not the newest model of the pen series but i got it half the price at the IT fair and all i need is an SLR with a interchangeable lense with some art filters and manual modes since Dee the DSLR is Krystal's. It has gotten to a point where i would prefer a SLR to a DSLR just plainly on the size and weight of a DSLR. Nonetheless, am satisfied :)
- Bought a new acoustic guitar (3rd addition) called whiskers, since we enjoy and are learning how to play it in a 'professional' way.
-Waited close to a year for my graduation ceremony which will take place on 10th oct! So excited to be finally doing it, especially with Judy whom i started my diploma with :) I know my parents have been waiting for this day too.
Many other things happened over these 3 months so i'll post some pictures up!
this is whiskers :) we actually called it whiskey but somehow liked whiskers better.
Met up with from L to R : steff, krystal, me and gen after a really long time! We had our own little mid-autumn festival with lanterns & candles :)
Here's one more with our lanterns. From L to R: Krystal, me, gen and steff :)) neighbours forever!!!
Oan came to singapore for a day, so we took advantage of a day and took many days worth of pictures! HAHA missing her already na :)
I like blogger's new layout ;) can't wait to drive again tomorrow! Have a good weekend everybody.
Take heart, For I have overcome the world.

LET GO...D
i've been thinking a lot recently, a little too much maybe.
we often complain how this person can't be like that person and comparing one another when we don't evenreally know the other person! we always have the tedency of taking things and people for granted. guess we really don't know what we've got till its gone. although it's never too late to realise and appreciate the person again, that period will surely hurt one another.
i know we should let go and let god, as my title states. it's tough but when it's done, you feel so relieved you've done it and maybe you feel a tad better. when people say try being in the other person's shoes, many dont't mean it, they don't even try. they just assumed. one of the worst thing to do is to assume, because most of the times, people always assume wrongly.
the feeling of feeling uncomfortable, stranger-like and akward with someone when it was actually comfortable and close feels rather strange. but what if that's actually what they want? what if they are enjoying it and liking it? anyway, people change with time but if they change for the good, great. but what if they change not for the good, yet thinks its better? you can't do much except see how it goes and wait till the person actually says something about it, whether liking it or not. sometimes silence is a form of acceptance, and in my case, its a form of : you want it this way, you will get it this way.
well, all these are just thoughts in general, nothing personal. iim not emo or anything, just wanted to write my thoughts down so i can re-read it in future. its really tough typing on my bb ( yes, finally! got it on my birthday :) ) cause i can't use caps and its so small!
quote of the day: there are no unimportant people in the body of christ.
there are many things in life which money can buy,
and there's even more things money can't buy. some include :
respect, trust and manners.
hopefully people will realise it someday.

CRAVING TO EAT...
Udder's Baileys & Bourbon Ice cream!!! Finally got to have a taste of Udders with k and mich. We went to have our little food adventure from udders to ecp lagoon food center with the BEST oyster omelette and bbq chicken wings yet ;) yummmmm.
We also spent quite abit of time at the beach, it's been so long since i've done that. Just relaxing with the wind blowing my hair all over the place, and dirtying our feet with sand, just having fun :) Can't upload pictures though, want to but can't.
So...still thinking of when to go celebrate my 20th at USS! First time going into USS, while it's k's 2nd time. Still trying to find a suitable date, but am sure it's gonna be fun nonetheless. Can't wait!

CROSSROADS.
So, i failed my driving test yesterday. HAHA. yeah i still can laugh, no big deal what! My nerves got the best of me, i guess. Everything was going well (suprisingly i didn't hit any kerbs) but something very wrong happened during my reverse parking. I've just got to practice, practice and more practice! Thankfully i got a nice tester though :) Oh well, i guess i'm not meant to drive till i'm 20! Next driving test in late june! If i pass, it would be an awesome 20th birthday present to myself :)
Right now, i'm at a crossroad not knowing where to go, what to do. The thing is, i don't really know what i want. Yeah i have interests in photography and food, but how do i go about it? What i want is to do something i like, not being stuck in the office 10 hours a day doing something i have no interest at all. I really don't want to regret wasting my time and choices i've made (although we have made a lot of wrong choices and decisions in life). So many people only realised and put their words into actions after a long time while 'suffering', but i know only He controls my life. So all i can do now is PRAY. I get so motivated and excited whenever i come across a story/show/insight where people are doing something they LOVE and get paid for it! That would be the best thing to do, and you would feel like you have not work at all in your life, cause you're doing something you enjoy so much, it doesn't feel like work! I just got to keep praying, and see where He leads me to. Guess that's called walking by faith and not by sight.
Me, mummy and k are going to sing k box later! Now, i'll just take each day as it comes, not knowing what my future brings, but one thing i know for sure : My future will be exciting, interesting and rewarding with God in charge of it :)

GO SLOW.
My driving test is on tuesday! I just hope i remember everything i learn and remember to GO SLOW. As my instructor says : DEAD SLOW. Mich, k and i suprised Judy with her 21st by bringing her to sing K box and we baked a fondant cake for her from scratch! Tough, but worth the effort. Xinlin came over to our house a few weeks back, had lots of fun with her, as usual. Pictures below! :) I can't upload pictures again, another time then! Mummy and i are craving to go sing K box! Soonish.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, It's about learning to dance in the rain.

GRAND parents.
Last week was a week of physical and emotional distress, a rollercoaster of grief, tears and unhappiness. Just so glad it's over. You'l always have a place in my heart, grandmother. After all, you're the only grandmother i'll ever have to remember those 19 years plus memories, and i hope to see you again someday. It's so cute how they are called
'GRAND MOTHERS', but mothers are all great an grand cause without them there's no daddy and without daddy there's no me.
Now i'm left with two grandfathers ( how coincidental that men in my family tree lives longer), and my mummy's dad is really weak. He can't even see properly, he pretty much looks like a bag of bones :( Since he's so fragile and there's no one at home to take care of him, mummy decided to let him stay in our home, and here he is enjoying life :) Hopefully he puts on weight, or maybe we could donate some of our fats to him? Haha, we have aplenty.
Shermaine came to our house yesterday for a short period of games and pictures, had fun! Will upload some pictures later cause my lappy is spoilt and i want to get a new one soon! Can't wait for friday with lunch with K, zann and
shouko and desert fam meet-up soon! :)

TURN RIGHT.
This month has been so packed. With driving lessons thrice a week and 3 interviews last few weeks, feb has been a busy month. First time having job interviews and i must say it was quite an experience but i didn't agree to anything because of my driving commitment. 12th april is THE date! I MUST PASS MY DRIVING TEST!!! (forcing it in into my sub-conscious.) Today marks my 14th driving lesson and i'm going on to learn parking etc in the circuit in march! Excited!
I've had trouble turning right in junctions as i kept turning into the wrong lane but as i go for more lessons, i've realised its just all about practicing. I'll practice as much as i can because my top priority is to get my driving license! It even comes before finding a job. HAHA, wonders if anybody is as desperate as me in wanting to get a license ASAP.
Blogger doesn't let me upload photos, so i guess these posts have to be wordy and picture-less.
We won't say, we won't lie
You know it's better that way,
it's just a moment of change.
All we are, all we are
is everything that's right.

RABBIT CHINESE NEW YEAR.
This year's CNY was much more noiser, messier, louder and crowded compared to last year's. Everybody is getting older, bigger and taller. It's amazing what a couple of years could change. I guess it's kinda like an 'excuse' or a 'reason' to meet up with relatives, which at times can be meaningless.
First day was as usual, went to dad's side place. There was steamboat on the eve of the eve of CNY where we all gathered to see grandma. First day of CNY was at grandma's place and she seemed happy to see everyone :) K, me and Jess went down to take many many pictures! HAHA with lots of laughters. Well, it beats being stuck in a very hot and small and bored place.
Second day of CNY was at our house, as usual. Almost everyone came, and i'm proud of myself for not snacking and drinking too much! Played lots of wii, band hero, laughed almost every 5 mins and wore myself out with a hyper active cousin who is 11 and can't sit still at all.
We were supposed to go to my aunt's house today but me and K decided to skip as K has work to do while i'm just tired. May this year be properous, healthy and happy for everyone!
I tried uploading some pictures but am not being able to do so :( I'll try to upload again.

Not just physically rich,

AQUAMARINE.
This is the colour of our new bedroom walls! A plus point and satisfaction is that we painted the entire room ourselves! :) New walls colour, new table, new dressing table, new single beds, new feel. We just love it. Sometimes, change is indeed good.We've just created another creative, interesting and awesome place for photo-taking!
Mama's has been in the hospital for almost a month. It's sad seeing her like that, but there are reasons we'll never understand.
CNY is coming. Pros? $$ Cha Ching! Cons? I hope my worse fears won't come true :/ We so need to get our guitar strap, michrophones, another capo and another guitar stand.
Raise your hands,
In all the right ways.
Anything but wrong.
