• It's been a long time since i last visited my blog page. Almost half a year i didn't update m blog site. A lot of things kept me busy in sydney, and soon, forgot to update my blogsite. I'll try to make this site as active as i can.

  This year is the worse year for me in Sydney. My uni year is bad. I learnt a lot about myself, the other side of me which i didn't know. I didn't know i was a stubborn person, and resist so much to changes. Partly i'm lazy as well. But this year, a lot of events happened required me to change, and i was stubborn, thus i faced all sort of problems. Things like group works in uni, require me to work with the people i didn't know, and had to change the way i do to work with them. Since i didn't change, i faced a lot of problems within my team mates. God had been good to me. He helped me a lot in these situation, and He slowly expose my darkside, and help me correct them. In Mission, God want us to be flexible, and don't fix in 1 way, because He is God of all possiblity, and He has millions of ways to do things. So, that actually taught me a tough lesson, and I'm still in the proccess to change.

  This year, Christmas is quite different from other Christmas i had been. I came back from sydney at the 20th of Dec. There was a flood in my city, and the flood was the worse in 30 years so far. Some places was badl affected, and the flood is about 3 km away from my house. This is a summary of my days till now.

  21st of Dec
  Nothing much, i just rest in that day. I unpacked my suff, log on msn and tell my friends i'm in Malaysia. I slept quite early that day because of the jetlag, 3 hr diff from m'sia time.

  22nd of Dec
  Carol practice at the morning. Sze Yao some how found out that I reach m'sia, and he called me. That time i didn't have a mobile phone, so i can't contact a few of my friends. I went for a hair cut, and drive around the city, and let my car swim in the flood for a while, just wanna see how bad is the flood. The last news i receive about the flood is from Deborah, the water reached her house poarch. Lucky my car suvived the swim, and I went home after 2 hr of driving.

  23rd of Dec
  Moring we went and clean the church, which is affected by the flood. the mud is so thick , and take us quite a while to clean them. Later Sze Yao 'kidnapped' me to his house. He came to my house and took me to his house. I stayed there from morning to 5pm. We watched a few movies at his house. Later went back and prepare for MYF Christmas party. I felt so old there because most of them are still kids. I felt like going home, but i met some one which I don expected to meet. his name is Pastor Moses, Uncle Khor's son. He works with the on campus ministry in Monash university, focus on international student. I spent quite a lot of my time in the party just to chat with him. He's in Melbourn almost 19 years. It was a pleasure meeting him, and if i ever go melbourn next year, I'll go and visit him.

  24th of Dec
  Morning i went and help aunty Pei Lan (Sze Yao's mother) in church school Christmas party. Half way through, my mum called me to go Aunty Khoo's house (My brothers music teacher) to help her clean her house, which is affected by flood as well. So, Sze Yao and i went and help aunty Khoo. A few pianos in her house already entered  water, but still usable. The mud made her floor quite slipery. I almost slipped as soon as i enter her house bare foot. We, and a few uncles and aunties help her out till 3pm. That was the first time i saw property damage due to flood, and how bad it actually damage the house. The water only entered about 1 foot high into her house, yet so many damage done in her house. Thanks God her grand piano and television set are not affected. Night time, we went for carolling. This year we only went for 8 houses. We reached the last house about 11pm, which is a record because for all the christmas carol i went to, we reached the last house pass 12am. Most houses didn't sign up for carollers to come because of the flood. I enjoy the food a lot because i had not tasted those food almost a year.

  25th of Dec.
  Christmas Day. Morning my family and I went for church service, and christmas lunch. For the first time, i saw so many of the ex-MYF-er return for Christmas. We catched up for a while during and after the lunch time. At 4pm, Emily, Deborah, Janice and Bryan went to 'Kek Sayang'(a cake house) and catch up. Most of them were going back to studies after Christmas, and not sure when we can meet up again. Thanks God i have a Mission Trip to keep this holiday much busy. If not, i'll be so bored at home. At night we went to a friend's house for dinner. (Yes, we just keep eating that day). We sang Christmas carol together again with the adults (by now most of us already sick of singing carol). At midnight, we stay at that house and play some games. Later we move to deborah's house and continue the games, and watch movie till 4am at her house. I felt sorry for her that she had to keep with us till 4am. I felt as if i had not slept for almost the whole day because it was like 7am for me in sydney. Sze Yao slept over at my place.

  26th of Dec
  I woke up about 9am, and counted that I didn't sleep enough, and continue to sleep till 11am. Nothing much happen that day. Sze Yao and my youngest brother woke up at about 1pm, and start to watch 2 movie. About 4pm, Bryan didn't know wat to do before leaving the city for uni. In the end, we deecide to go to cyber cafe to play Dota for like 2 hr , and went for dinner after picking up Deborah and her sister. Bryan left the city about 10.30pm that day.

  Bryan already in Melaka, Emily already in JB, Janise already in KL. Deborah going back to Singapore at the 29th of Dec, Sze Yao going back to KL at the 2nd of Jan. As for me, i might go to Taiping to tell my granpa that i'll not be in Taiping for Chinese New Year (first time missing out CNY). I'm still deciding whether i'm going for Dan and Jasmine's wedding in Singapore, at the 31st of Dec. Thailand Mission Trip is at 4th of Jan. Everything is so close, and I had little time to decide. But 1 thing is, tomorrow I'll go to taiping, and shall decide from there on.

  time for me to go now... have to pack up for tomorrow.
