havent been back updating this blog for a pretty long time..
the time in between updates has been good..
celebrated mying's 21st.. had a few catch ups w friends. had awesome lifegroup meetings.. kickstart of Adopt-a-Street.. and the good ol' school to be busy with..

meeying's 21st was great.. i sure hope she enjoyed it as much as i did.
the group of us had dinner at Giorgios'. one of the random Italian eateries that i chanced across while getting lost on my way to school from work. haha..turned out the food was great.
definitely going back sometime again. :)
had loads of fun with the group. as usual.
i just love friends like that :) they are basically my family here in Australia.

lifegroup meeting on wed was great..
just love how *HistoryMakers* (that's wad our lifegroup's called) are just made up of girls.
we get to do girly things. and always have the common understanding since we are all girls.
its just comfortable and we get to heaps of stuff together.
we kickstarted Adopt-a-Street. a new initiative of outreach done by our church.
as a lifegroup, we went out into the community seeking to serve and build relationships with the people living on the street(of our choice).
it was a lil daunting at first. but sure got better as we went about knocking on doors and just wanting to know them better.
hopefully over the weeks and months, we get to become friends with these people. tt will be fantastic..

exams are gonna be here in 2 weeks..
starting to get into full study mode now that school's officially over for the semester.
i need the constant motivation and focus to be on my books.
get it over n done with and im gonna enjoy the holidays :)
cant wait.. got quite a bit in stored for post-exam activities. yippEe!

21st birthday party was a blasttt!!
simply awesome.!

we had dinner at Glencoe's..
really nice and cosy place.
about 30 of us in our own private room.
the staff were really nice and accommodating.
dinner was good.. i tried kangaroo meat for the first time.
amazingly tender. i actually liked it more than the fillet mignon i had.
went photo crazy during the intermissions between courses. haha.
had loads of fun w the gang..
pics are up on facebook alr. :)

i really enjoyed myself heaps ! been a really memorable 21st. :))

Special thanks to my dearest family who came all the way from Singapore just for the celebration and to my relatives who put in much effort to make it a really memorable night.

thank God for keeping me thru it all!.

ytd was another day at GrantReady.
was a pretty good day considering not much time was spent in the office.
we had lunch out to celebrate another succesful end of financial yr of the company.
Adrian&Heather treated us to really nice Japanese food nearby.
food was really awesome at Ocha. apparently one of Melbourne GoodFood guides' recommendations.
grants are just tedious stuff.
really need to get into the groove of things.
still learning a lot as i go along :)

im pretty excited about next week.
really looking forward to the family coming on Wednesday :)

w assignments.. tt's just a major part of a student's life.
it's my last one for the semester at least. thank god!
anyways.. i was looking forward to church all week.
sunday was just amazing!
i intended to just attend the morning service n head back home to get some work done.
but no.. i ended up staying for the 2nd service at 6pm too.
pastor corey's series of 'living the supernatural life' was just inspiring.
it just got better week after week. and sure ended off w a bang!
im embarking on this journey of finding out what my anointing is and really walking in it.
His grace will see me through.
it got me all inspired and made me wanna change certain things in my life to embrace all that life has to offer.
life is just exciting. Thank God for His wonderful creation!
im pretty excited about next week too actually.
my family's coming over to Melb to celebrate my 21st w me.=)
really psyched for it. :)
cant wait for this friday when i hand in my assignment though.
i can finally take a breather before studying for exams.
alrights. currently..assignments and church make up my life for the moment. :)
till then!

You are the one who looks at me as innocent..

You are the one who sees me for my heart's content...

You are the one who will walk with me until the end...

My God...

You are my best friend...
