I am a Christian
27.4.07

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting, "I'm clean living'."
I'm whispering, "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!

The Gifts
19.4.07

Thanks God.

You know, when you are away at home, and at one time you feel that it is different, it is strange to not to celebrate your birthday with your family. It has been years, to be exact 18 years, that I always celebrated my birthday with my family. I must have gotten my cake, my noodle, my eggs, and my small-big party (I choose what I want).

But since I came to Perth, I sometimes thought I wouldn't get those 'enjoyments' from my family again. Well, at least for 4 years, during my study. Guess I'm wrong. I may not have a dinner party, may not get a present from my parents, may not hang out with friends at mall (like in high school times), but the very most important thing is that I have these beautiful gifts.

First, I got a very nice sweater from Payal, Apple, and dear Li-Shan. I like the sweater. I just never expected to get that (because of the price -.-). But, my point is... I feel that I meet you guys not by chance or 'accident' XD.. I feel that God gives me the right place, the right people, the right time and yaa.. everything. Haha.. Especially, after reading the card, all of you said that you've found wonderful and nice friend ^___________________^ *Yuuu my head is getting bigger* Okay. Okay. Serious. I just thank God I have the greatest friends here^^

Next, another gift... the cutie tigger. A very big cup. Thanks to Vicki. I do appreciate it. You still remember me when you were on holiday in Malaysia. Hehe... Anyways, another 'confession' card that touches my heart. Ciee... I don't know how to say it. But I guess, I was reminded that even though I might lose contact with her, I still have her as my good friend. ^_____________^

Fiuh...thank you Lord. My birthday gift may be different from last time. But truthful gratitude indeed means a lot to me.

I turned 20! SURPRISE!!

20!
twenty.
hatachi.
haha...

What a surprise indeed. I guess I was thinking too much about that matter, then I just forgot that the time was ticking so fast. And you know, my innocent-looked housemate, Apple, was wonderfully convincing. She asked me to go with her to Yi Wei's house to take some books that according to her were very important at that VERY moment. I didn't know what I was thinking about, but I just trusted her WITHOUT questioning anything.

Then, the worst thing was that the weather outside was very cold. ARGH... You know I got my first day, and how weak I was at that time =P So I was thinking... 'get the book, Apple then go back home, I need to rest.' Well, it didn't turn out to be really successful. Reaching home, I was about to open the door. I got the keys, but either Shu Yan or Payal pushed at the door. I was frustated..I thought they were joking about that. House F loves to do that, right. So, I was thinking..probably because it was my birthday tonight, they were keen to bully me. hehe...sorry gals.

TAM TAM, when the door was opened. All the light were turned off. There was a beautiful cake surrounded by candles and flowers on the dining table. So pretty. I was so touched ^______^

What a surprise!! I really really appreciate it. Everyone involved. Apple, Payal, Li-Shan, Shu Yan, Pei Ying.. Love you all!! It was just too great..

Ok. 受不了。。
I'm in the state of 'willing to know'. Well, I guess it's not that bad until I'm 'dying to know'.
Argh...but,
this is so annoying, indeed. I want to know the answer!

What am I talking about?
Argh... I'm myself confused with IT...
どうしよ。

Ok, enough..
Juz intermezzo, I will make a new blog^^.
not an important news.. yaa... but I'm getting bored with blogger. I need a new layout and features...

Mmm.. got to go back to my study. Bye.
