All dressed in nursing uni (almost all **)

Honey soy fish - not a "fans" of fish.. but it taste good..

Attended church on sat.. where you can sit, pray, worship and praise God for 2 hours.. find it fulfilling.. in our daily life.. hardly have a quiet time to be still..spent time to communicate with him.. hence.. @ times.. find that this kind of church service is relevant.. essential and useful.. enable us to sit/ worship/ pray wholeheartedly.. communicate through holy spirit.. interesting..

Rojak.. cinamon french loaf.. fellowship.. buffet.. work.. report.. n sch reopening..

So fast.. 2 weeks of tution free weeks coming to an end.. mmh.. that's life.. especially while you are still studying.. report to accomplish.. time to study.. presentation..etc.. no worry.. thing on the birght side.. in time to come.. graduating soon.. **although still find working life more satisfying**..

During last fellowship.. shared abt 1 Corinthians 11:17-34.. regards to the word "unworthy manner"... learnt that unworthy manner refers to "sharing.. loving.. waiting for one another".. not to indulge yourself in food, wine, etc.. w/o having concern for your fellow bro/sis.. happens in the city of Corin.. where it is one of the major capital for trading.. hence.. beside being prepared to worship the lord.. sanctify your heart and soul (as everybody make mistakes @ times).. it is important to think, show care and concern about the wellbeing of fellow mates.. not just thinking about your own wellbeing.. believe that's where this verse should apply.. 1 Corinthina 13 - LOVE..

"Cant believe in a week.. there are 5 ppl having birthday".. why do parent love mid of april ??..haa..

Updating - April

Cant believe it already april.. times flies..

Currently having 2 weeks tution free week.. busy doing assignment.. reports.. working.. n other miscellaneous stuff.. report is one big issue.. require to write so many pages.. think it irrelevant.. but necessary in life.. test coming up nxt week.. many birthday wishes to send.. cant believe within a week..there are more than 5 ppl having their birthday..

Last week, while playing with huggy.. accidentally.. with a turn n a twist.. huggy fractured his small toes on his right foot.. intially.. thought how come he is walking in such a wierd way.. he too..was puzzled like me.. limping and legs not touching the ground.. kept trying to lick n observe his own leg.. surprisingly.. huggy did not wimp.. "although he alway wimper when he needs attention".. thenafter.. I realised that something was not right.. decided to bring him to Vetwest for a check.. when for X-ray.. diagnosed with fracture toe.. got some medication.. injection..badages.. vet said it takes about 1 month to heal.. cost me a "bomb".. but it mine fault.. for playing too rough with him.. promise to be more gentle.. n nice.. to him.. looking at his pathetic face.. haa.. cant help it..


On Good friday, went for a short drive.. with drew.. to Rockingham.. walked around.. had ice cream (Shop name: Best Ice cream in Perth).. proceeded to Mandurah.. had pastry n coffee @ miami house.. walked around.. being there for about 5 times..



Went to this vietnamese restaurant.. had their vietnamese coffee + condensed milk.. looks interesting.. Coffee to be filtered through this mini filter.. mixed it.. n poured it in the cup.. ice cold viet coffee..



Baked carrot and banana loaf.. tasted quite fluffy.. think need more stirring n mixing.. to make it more fluffy...

Ingredients:
2 eggs, honey, cinamon powder, plain flour, yoghurt (optional - i think), baking powder, loaf tin.

Mixed all ingredients, sift flour, baked @ 160 deg for approx 40 - 45 mins (Depend on the color - use a toothpick/wooden stick to pock it through to test).



New resolution:
Once we set our mind to do it (things that are not right in the eyes of God), we should be more focus.. n work our way towards it..although the journey is hard n temptation along the way.. we should all try our very best.. pray that God will lead n guide us..

So coincidence.. while talking about be more focus.. worshipping him the right way.. before heading to bed.. was reading through this..
A place to worship: Start with God - first step in learning is bowing down to God (PRoverbs 1:7)

Message: Worship is not meant to be relegated to Sunday mornings and then left on a shelf for the rest of the week. Think of worship as the gas in your tank. If you don't fill up with the fuel of worship, you won't be able to give to others in the form of ministry and relationships. Seek ways to be in worship at all times. It isn't a physcial activity; it's an attitude of the heart.

Hence, decided to start worshipping him the right way.. at times.. we tend to use our own thinking.. intelligent.. mindset.. by our own strength to do things.. when we relied more on our own strength than his.. things just doesn't turn out right or as desire.. moral - be more focus.. do your best.. n relied on him..

Updating - chilli festival, jus burger, random..

Fav sunflower + lilies..

Since both my Sis n buddy started updating again.. decided to do so.. As pic speaks a thousand words.. here it is..

Jus Burger @ Leederville

Cheelok B.. Pommy B.. Preparing ourself for the Big B..

Went to Jus Burger for Burger (haa..that obvious).. quene for about 15 mins to get our burger.. heard that it was nice.. indeed.. burger was pretty big.. Home-made patties.. with meaty like Beef (100%).. Kangaroo.. Lamb.. Chicken.. different variety of burger for you to choose from.. perhape abt 1.5 times bigger than the burger @ mac.. (dont really know why the burger in oz is so small - doesnt link with the sizes of the people here..haa)..

Different rating for chilli - i meant the spicyness..

Big Bird..

Went for the chilli festival at Freo over the last weekend.. there are different stalls.. selling different kinds of chilli.. chilli sauce.. chilli sausages.. chilli fudge..chilli chocolate.. chilli plant.. nandos.. many more.. different rating.. different spicyness.. from 1 - 10.. Carribean chilli is the spiciest chilli over there.. dint get a chance to try that.. only Habenese chilli.. rate 8/10.. Drew ate till he perspire so much.. that sweat was dripping all over his face.. face color = red chilli.. haa.. surprizing lots of people attended the carnival.. they even have live band.. to keep people entertain.. n cooking classes.. interesting.. went off before the crowds came..

Live is mandane as usual.. schools.. reports.. tut.. presentation.. assignments.. work.. that's life.. positively.. looks on the bright sides.. in an blink of an eyes.. 2.5yrs will b over.. cant believe it has already been 1.8years since i first arrived in Perth.. times flies..

Huggy.. as usual.. getting bigger each coming day.. more mischievous.. but adorable.. in need of human attention.. male dog instinct.. whenever I brought him out for a walk.. whenever he see female.. simply couldn't control himself.. a urge to ran over to them.. wagging his tail so hard.. til the extend i think it might break..haa..so Cheeko.. ended up.. I got to use all the energy + strength i have.. to restrain him from running over.. that's dog.. cant change his animal habitual habit..

Always felt that.. as a friend.. certain things.. if you really think it's not right in your eyes.. should just be more forecoming.. tell the person how you feel.. if you really think that you are uncomfortable with it.. no point to let the other person who is close to that person to know.. ended up.. might cause unnecessary conflict.. and bickering.. for no apparent reason.. Back to square one.. does it really helps the other parties..?.. definitely "No"..

Dont like people to be like this.. neither do I like to be unhappy over such things.. kind of waste of time..but.. at time.. even if you dont wana think about it.. it just keep lingering in you.. mmh.. eventually.. will get over it.. just felt unhappy about this whole incident..

**Mei.. feel happy for you.. can see that you are working hard..to achieve what is good for you..keep it up.. \(*.^,)/..

New year -2010

Finally got time to do some updating..

Went to church for New year count down.. theory is.. Starts your Year with God.. no matter what happens.. believes' he will alway be there for us.. Group of nice and friendly church friend.. although there's some funny ones..

Recently, just got back from 4D3N Esperances trip.. a 8 hrs drives from perth.. with Drew, Cherie and Jen.. journey was pleasant and enjoyable.. visited many places.. mostly lakes.. Pink lakes.. sea salt lake.. monjijup.. jetty.. windmills.. ferry rides over to woody island.. camped and done short snorkelling.. yabbies farm... although at times.. some events happened.. believe it happened for a reason..perhape for one to get to know the other better.. if all things are blissful and smooth.. probably might wonder why.. aNyway.. it was a enjoyable holiday cum experience.. climbed up Cape le grand mini mountain.. where temp hits 45 deg C.. all got sun burned + tanned.. dived into the ocean.. for a swim.. to cool ourselves down.. headed for some BBQ at night.. cooked on portable stove on the jetty.. met Sammy the sealion.. Eventually, when we finally get back to perth.. was so exhausted.. haa..

1/2 way up.. Woody island.. Some lakes... Great ocean drive..Part II.. Hill top of woody island.. Awaiting for ferry back..

As usual.. working.. fellowship.. classes commencing in end feb.. meeting friends.. movies.. Exercises.. swimming + jogging (Plan to do it pro 3 times a week).. Drumming.. playing with huggy.. got to discipline this big fellow..getting bigger.. n stronger.. drew mom nearly got drag away by him.. there's alway a saying :"Curiousity kills a DOG".. its true.. but.. he's only an animal.. haiz.. just got to do it.. weather is getting hotter nowadays.. at times.. it reaches sky high of 45deg..

Went to work today, worked with Dianelle.. realised.. sometimes ppl simply dont really care for the resident that much.. only care for those resident where they get benefits from.. for examples.. this morning..while getting Tom up.. she just simply want to get her job done with.. *Cause her roaster got mixed up by the floor coordinator - ended up there's 2 ppl coming for work for the same shift*..wanted to get Tom dressed with a Coat.. plus change pad and pants on.. took it out.. however.. she doesnt seems to be willing to do it.. simply ignored it.. as she works over in this facility longer than me.. hence I just follow what she wants to do.. although Tom is supposed to be under my care.. Just my luck.. the Manager happens to came in early today.. said Tom smells.. and found his pant not put on.. only covered with blanket.. told the coordinator off.. ended up.. got told by the coordinator to be look after resident Dignity.. I do agreed with her.. That's life..

Anyway.. my new year resolution.. is to do my best in all things.. put in 100% care for all things I do.. so long I know it's right and for the best.. I should stick to it.. not being pushed over by ppl who dont really care.. They are simply incorrigible.. hiaz..
