WAT?!
Ok obviously i have studied the wrong course.
Psyche and Sociology followed by Religion and theology!??!!?
Wooo.........
WHAT MAJOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
You scored as a Psychology/Sociology
You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in Psychology, Sociology, or related majors (e.g., Counseling, Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology, Social Work, or other social science majors).
It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it.
Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests. Psychology and Sociology are both great minors to add to any major.

Sarah : Not a problem at all. Thank You!
WORSE SCENARIO

For a while longer....
Some people think that if it's really God telling you to do something, it would happen very smoothly. I certainly don't deny that it happens but what if its a test to see if you would really really trust in what he said?
In the beginning, i was quite adament on going back after i finish my studies. i guess very little people expected that i would continue staying here.
guess what..neither did i..haha..
God always works in unexpected ways , ways not even linked! lol..
who would have known that i would come overseas to study, known that i would get rooted in a church here in good ol' adelaide and decide to stay here??
I really cannot say how long it will be though. Its hard to leave everything back home to come..and now hard to leave everything here to go back.
But if God calls..i as his child just need to obey.
Guess what!
After a long wait i found a part time joB!! Praise GOD!!!
At least it helps me to pay the bills and feed me sufficiently.
I'm still on a search for a permanent job and have had 2 interviews so far.
I hope to get an answer within the next 2 weeks :)
I remember when i updated Pastor Wong on my situation here..
she simply said
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight
Proverbs 3 :5-6
very well known verse, easily quoted but its truth!
As i look back on how the Lord has came through for me in various circumstances as i placed my trust in him.It will surely help me to trust him in situations that will arise in the future.
I pray the same for you too :)

get out of it.
Have I become less sensitive, less sympathetic?
Maybe, just refusing to feed the insignificant (used to be someone’s fav word haha...) emotions are exuding out of some people.
Perhaps I don’t fully understand the situation?
Or maybe it does affect me.
Have been thinking about relationships.
Just seeing some brood over past relationships, thinking so much about present ,thinking about future. Getting tangled in an emotional turmoil, can’t let go, being so guarded, it’s just so tiring. Makes me think twice on whether I want to be in a relationship. Haha… No offence ppl..thats just what I’m thinking about at the moment.
Just that it takes up too much of people’s energy and emotion that sometimes more important things are forgotten. Building relationship with God and seeing others come to Christ. Come on! Get out of your slumber; get out of your self pity state. People are just living as if they are not saved. Living as if there is not hope..
I get really annoyed when people choose to continue in that melancholic state. Sigh..
Maybe its just me..oh well..

Decision to Praise
Just a glimpse Lord? a little hint of where the end of the tunnel is? please....
I have heard some say.
Seeing downcast frames, weary faces , listening to real life incidents that can't seemed to be solved.
As much as it is appreciated , encouraging words ,pats and hugs just don't "do it" anymore.
As i see all these happening around me, i get discouraged and weary too and often ask myself, what can i do to help?
CHoice 1 ) If i could take everything upon myself i would. but i guess its easier said then done.
Choice 2) Throw a pity party coz i'm not going thru a very easy time either! so we can all be negative , winch and complain all day.
Choice 3) Lift my eyes to see our sovereign God who works all things for good , lift my voice to praise him who is worthy and all deserving , being grateful and thankful for his grace and mercy shown on the cross.
Of course i still feel down and out and discouraged sometimes but
what makes me smile and laugh even in the midst of joblessness and other factors is Coz i chose choice 3!!
Psalm 34 : 1-8
1 [a] I will extol the LORD at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
2 My soul will boast in the LORD;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the LORD with me;
let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.
8 Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
Just choose 3 k!

Cheena New Year!
Spending my first CNY overseas is not easy..
the eve of CNY began and ended like any ohter day. I guess the saddest part was when my mum asked :" What are you doing for reunion dinner tonight?"
At an instant, my thoughts were flooded with yummy food!, Angpaos! and most of all the family togetherness. Made my eyes water man...
Perhaps some may think, "aiya what so sad about not spending CNY at home?"
To most it may be visiting "once a year" relatives, sitting around watching tv. BUt its different when you have a close knitted family,bonded by a common love for God! We have no much fun just Lo Hei-ing, telling jokes, playing silly games, taking pictures and just enjoying one another's company.
Just as i was about to wallow in self pity and think about the FOOD that i'm gonna miss, the Lord reminded me about the reason why i stayed here. My theme this year is about Faithfulness and obedience. Obedience to his voice, faitfulness in what he called me to do!
However, Thank God for friends that he brought around me, to comfort as well as to write off CNY as not such a big deal haha..(you know who you are..!!).
Its not that i'm having a hard life or anything, currently enjoying the joblessness (Disclaimer: but dosen't mean i don't want one and not looking for it.lol!).
As the chinese saying goes..To rest is to prepare to walk a longer journey! (Excuses..)
Praise God that we can rest in him even when we're ON the journey.
Our Refuge, Our Hope :)

Jumpy Jumpy
We're gonna expect 80-100 people for the CNY gathering on saturday..
*wide eyed* appearing calm on the outside but going crazy in the inside.
From 50 to 100 people. ahhhhh! *runs around*
Thoughts going thru mind : we have only 1 week!oh wait its less then a week! , we haven't done the invites,the food is not planned out yet..how are we gonna gonna fit 100 people in a 3 bedroom house??! Not mentioning cooking for 100 people! Oh goodness! How how how?!?!
The flesh is restricting and giving all sorts of excuses that it cannot be done.
But the Spirit knows and knows that we serve a supernatural God and that all things are possible with him , if the Lord gave the word, he will bring it to pass!
Obedience to what the Lord has said, Faithfulness in doing and carrying out all that is needed and of course
TRUSTING in the character of our Almighty God!

Stretch stretch stretch!
Hi Peeps!
I'm back with a new look!! (I meant my blog..)
I forgot to save the previous template!!
Now i dun have a chatbox and imeem is gone.
BOO!!
Simply decided to go with a blogger template coz i couldn't find any nice and suitable one on blogskins.com (come on all you blogskin authors! come up with some nice ones for poor old dunno-anything-about-HTML person..)
Update!!
Status : Unemployed but still holding a valid student visa and Uni Card.
Have been gathering all my documents for the working visa and thank God i'm almost done with that. Have been sending out resumes for jobs as well. Pray that i'll be able to get one. (Doraemon i am gonna to get my visa ok.)
Been feeling the stretch in this new year as new challenges have been put to me.
New responsibilities, new level of relationship with people, meeting new people
Feelings of inadequacy, thinking perhaps there has been a mistake in all of it.
However, in the the midst of it all is a quiet confidence that the Lord is in control and bringing me to another level in him.
No 1. on another level.

.................
How fast this year passes, after Christmas then the new year and then the start of 2008!
I’m not really one to make new year resolutions but I guess one can’t really live without an aim in life. Can u imagine and living each day with no purpose , no motivation. Quite sad rite. Had a really quiet Christmas and new year. Nope not because I’m in Adelaide hahaha.. They had the whole package of count downs and ridiculously LOW fireworks. People thronging the streets with beer cans and bottles. Personally I’m not really into all these and it doesn’t help that I dislike crowds. Maybe I’m getting old?? (some people would be nodding their head vigourously..loL!)
Currently feeling a bit under the weather, multiple things vying for my attention at the same time. Application for Visa, looking for a job ,finding a new house. Many times I don’t FEEL like spending time with God, I don’t FEEL like talking with people. Sigh.
Trying not to let my emotions get the better of me.
Its funny rite..how can I view spending time with God as a task?? Prob I never valued that time spent with him. Need to get my perspective back. Time to look upwards.

In Adelaide
I'm back down under!! in teh southern southern state..Guess where it is?!?! Sars...
trying to amuse myself after a long day on the road. getting easily annoyed. (what a brat..loL)
yes i know i'm out sightseeing and playing BUT...well well stuff happened......:(
anyways...
Its been great having Mum and Sherm around. Dad's coming tomrorow..WoohoO!
HAd an opportunity to spend sometime with lilian as well. Politest gal in the world man! haha..We went to harbourtown for a bit of shopping and later on up to a Suburb called Lobathol where a majority of the houses in that suburb put out elaborate christmas lights! its actually a tourist attraction and throngs of cars travel up there each year to soak in the christmas atmosphere. Will post pics soon!!
Been thinking about Faithfulness. Its something that i want to continue in this coming year. Faithful in what he has called me to do. I had a misconception in the past about goal of faithfulness being in doing work or stuff for God. I learnt today that faithfulness is HE being able to work his way in us.
We can sing songs every week in church about How great God is, how we wanna surrender our all to him.
then when things happen, we wanna take control, we get angry with God.
we forget about all we have sang.
I always wonder why these situations arise but i guess if it dosen't, there is no "opportunity" to exercise that faithfulness.
DOn't you thank God that he dosen't give up on us??

Psalm 16
Psalm 16
1 Keep me safe, O God,
for in you I take refuge.
2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing."
3 As for the saints who are in the land,
they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight. [b]
4 The sorrows of those will increase
who run after other gods.
I will not pour out their libations of blood
or take up their names on my lips.
5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I have set the LORD always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, [c]
nor will you let your Holy One [d] see decay.
11 You have made [e] known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
PRaise the Lord! :)

11 You have made [e] known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Birthd..there's something even more exciting.
ladies and gentlemen.......I finish my last exam!! (Hopefully for the rest of my life!) I'll tell u when i really really graduate. Results are coming out on 10th of December. Shivers!! lol.. (Guess who i learnt that word from..ha..)
This year felt longer then last year. However, it has been more fruitful too!
Been really blessed to be part of Edge church and growing together with a fantastic group of gals in the connect group! The Lord has blessed me through each of you.
Almost everyone is leaving for home today. Sob sob..
however, i'm looking forward to see what the Lord is gonna do in our lives even during the hol's . We serve an awesome God!!

So it goes
I have finished the last of my assignments!!
I'm only left with 1 exam!
*Applause*
I must tell about my drama filled day.
I was on my way to the city at about 3.30pm..Ok i was on my way to the gym(dun ask me why i went to the gym all of a sudden..haha..)
i was at the bus stop waiting for the bus and it took longer then usual, i think i waited for about 20 mins. There was another lady there too..
She was reading some documents and i was there reading a newspaper.
Suddenly i heard a big vehicle drive past the stop, when i looked up
THE BUS JUST PASSED THE STATION WITHOUT STOPPING LOH. POK!
after watching helplessly, i immediately turned and the lady and i stared at each other.
Lady : Did we just miss the bus? (In utter disbelieve)
Me : Yeah! it just drove past us! (In UTTEREREST disbelieve)
Lady : ahh! I'm rushing for an appointment!! I thought you were looking out for it!
Me : I thought You were looking out for it too!
She immediately stomped off to try to hitch a ride from a car parked by the side of the road (Whoa this woman quite daring ah..i thought this only happened in movies) T
The drama dosen't end here.....
I immediately called Mich to complain coz i really couldn't believe it.
Immediately after hanging up, i suddenly choked and kept coughing..I thought that i had like choked on my saliva or something and felt like an Loser hahahaha!
thereafter i felt something in my mouth and spit it out on my hand Guess what it was??
It was a fly. YES A FLY! YUCKS!!!!! (x10000000000000000000000000)
What a day.
Lesson to learn:
DUn depend on other commuters to look out for the bus
and in the state of utter disbelieve, dun open your mouth too big
END.
I'm only left with 1 exam!
*Applause*

It has been a crazy crazy week...One after another assignments were due
I just finished one that was about Australian politics and the different policies that the parties promised for the coming elections..*Clueless*
The only thing i know about it is John Howard!!
Anyways..After trudging through that i'm finally down to my last one due on MOnday!
Then its just the exams left!! not that i'm really excited about it but at least i can take a break from the continous brain wrecking and frantic googling and reading.
for a while..for a short while. i promise!! haha..
typing my thoughts aloud.
sadly in the midst of all the busyness, i;ve given God the backseat. When i sing, my mind is somewhere else, when i pray its always about God help me in this and that. Its so conditional and hypocritical. HOw can i be asking and leading others to worship and to love him when i myself dun show it?? Lord how can you love people like us, when on one hand we can be singing that we love and trust and have faith in you and when we turn around we worry where our life is going, about finances, condemning ppl, thinking the worse of them etc.I'm guilty of that too.
i fail to recognise sometimes that its a JOurney that we're all on, i don't just get instant results. When i sing i love him, there would be situations for me to exercise that. Trials come to prove that our faith is genuine. If we just bailed out on God during difficult times, we never really believed at all i guess.
Having to think of many adult things now is taking a toll on my mind.ahhh
Nevertheless...
I will bless the LOrd at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth
(Psalm 34:1)
