Week 11 of Uni

Stress...Stress.....STRESS!!!

Felt quite down actually when I saw my assignment result just now. Yes I admit I have been struggling with this course so far and did not expect to do too well in this assignment, but I did not expect to do that badly as well.

Well, it's over isn't it? Nothing I can do about it now. Just going through this period of disappointment but I know I WILL bounce back stronger.

Week 11. 3 more weeks of uni. Almost at the finishing line. I will fight on and persevere....

"Your vision is where your future is"

"Your vision is where your future is. When you have vision on the wrong things, the negatives of life, the problems, you live a defeated life, a life of darkness. But if you have vision on the right things, the Godly things, the positives of life, you live a victorious life, a Godly life."-Casey Treat

WOW! That was the highlight of the all the sermons I heard at Hillsong Conference yesterday.

From the very beginning, it was Eve who saw the forbidden fruit and it looked good in her eyes. We all know the story after that.

King David started of by seeing a woman bathing before it lead him to commit murder and adultery.

Abraham had the eyes of faith, and he went on to become the father of faith and many nations.

Seriously sometimes, its just what we choose to see and how we want to view life that makes a huge difference.

I choose to set my eyes on Him, and His promises. What about you? :)

Hillsong is coming to ADELAIDE!!WOOHOOO!!!!

P.S: To those in Malaysia, don't be jealous k? *wink*

Dreams...

What are dreams to you? Have you ever wondered why you have dreams at night? Do dreams have any meaning?

I wonder. And till today, science cannot explain why humans dream at night.

Lately, I've had lots of weird dreams, dreams relating to my family and friends back home. And the worst part is, non of those dreams have been really comforting. Last night, I dream that my nephew and 1 of my very good friend died in a car crash. 2 nights ago, I dream that I had a big fight with my dad. A few days ago, I dream that my bro had cancer. A few weeks ago, I dream that my grandma passed away.

What's that all about??? I really wonder. The worst part is that in some of my dreams, I have a dream. It's so real that I can't differentiate whether I am dreaming or not when I first wake up from my sleep. And during those dreams, especially last night's dream and the dream regarding my bro, I was crying non stop. I realized it's because I love them so much and couldn't imagine losing them in such a tragedy.

Maybe I'm just homesick. Maybe God just wanted to remind me not to take my loved ones for granted. Whatever it is, I pray that those dreams would just remain as a dream.

Tell your loved ones how much you love and care for them today. Never take them for granted!

A special night with Reinhard Bonnke

Today, I had the privilege to hear from 1 of the greatest evangelist ever known, Reinhard Bonnke. He started his ministry in Africa and since then, God has just used him so powerfully. For the past 10 years, he has won over 55 million people for Christ. He holds a record of having 3 million + people attendance in 1 single meeting. Mind blowing!

 

In church when I was saw the video of his ministry, to see so many lives he has touched and impacted, and lead them to Christ, it just moved me to tears. How did he do that? What keeps him going in evangelizing? The answer is simple: Passion and compassion.

And I ask myself :"How can we even often doubt God for miracles? Isn't He the God of miracles? And isn't He, the same God that parted the red sea, the same God we worship today?" I have just witness someone who has done miracles after miracles through the power of God. 55million people saved in 10 years. Over a million people saved in 1 evening. If that's not miracle, than what else can it be?

And I also ask myself :"How can I sometimes lose passion in bringing people to Christ? Isn't that the great commission, the very thing Jesus asked us to do before He went back to heaven?" What other joy can replace the joy of having your loved ones saved?

We can continue to seek earthly treasures but the truth is, nothing on earth here is eternal. No matter how successful you are, your body will still end up in the grave 1 day and you can't bring your money, certs, possession with you to the next life.

I rather seek after eternal treasures, such as seeing lives changed forever. Where friendship and relationships will last forever, where life starts to become meaningful. And of course, knowing that there will be a happy ending to life.

I am fired up for Him again! We only have 1 life, 1 short life on earth to make a difference. The time is now.

MY BLOG IS STILL ALIVE!!!!

Yes it is. It was only sleeping, not dead.

I don't know why but today, I just had the random urge to open my blog again to have a look. Realised that blogger already had other new features! Not only that, I realised that I've missed out so much on my friend's life.

I wanna continue to share my journey in life with all of you.

To those who have been following my blog, thank you for your patience. Your patience will soon be rewarded!

Stay tune peeps! :)

Survived 2 killer weeks.

Thank God I'm still alive and able to sit down here and blog. The past 2 weeks have been absolute madness, with a total of 7 quizzes and 3 assignments due. Don't forget I have church commitments as well....and part-time job?Yes...I've got a new job if you didn't know!




That is my work place.Haha....Started work 2 weeks ago and it was alright. Just can be very tiring because there's always alot of people everyday. I work twice a week so ya, I have been really busy with work and all. But each time I think of the free food I get to eat after work, I'll forget all my misery! Roasted pork rice, roasted duck noodles, char koay teow, hokkien mee etc....what more can you ask when u're here in Australia?


This semester is the craziest semester in my uni life. I have weekly quizzes every Tuesday and Friday for Marketting and Management respectively. And with Japanese getting really hard with all the new vocabs and grammar, I have to cope with these 3 subjects that will have final exams by the end of the sem. The last subject is Language Diversity, boy do I love that subject!
It's about learning how languages evolve, language families, debates about languages and dialect etc.

For example, Malay and Indonesian are known as 2 seperate languages, although it's pretty close. A Malaysian and an Indonesian can speak Malay and Indonesian respectively to each other and yet, they can communicate or roughly understand each other. On the other hand, Cantonese and Hokkien are known as dialects although reality,they are quite far from each other. A Hokkien speaker will have no idea what a Cantonese speaker is talking about, no matter how slow he/she speaks. Don't believe me? Just grab my siblings or any Penangites that only speaks Hokkien, speak Cantonese to them and see if they know what you're talking about!

So these are the 4 subjects I'm doing this sem! Hmm...what else? Ya, I really enjoyed my time in Melbourne during the holidays!Ate like a pig,met up with so many friends, went for sight seeing etc....it was just awesome!

Hmm....What else? Oh yes!I wanna thank God for blessing me with good grades last semester! I did really well last sem, managed to get 2 HDs and 1 D, although I was also quite dissappointed to get a C. It was my first time getting HDs in Uni, so was really happy with it. I hope I'll be able to maintain and improve further more this semester!

I hope I'll be updating my blog more regularly than this. Darn, before I notice it, it has been 3 months since I last updated my blog. Time really flies!
