The day not to forget
ahh... time passes so fast that one blinked of eyes... everything no longer stay the same. The concert already one day over. Its was great, although we had things that not really in organised but really praise God that we managed to get it through. We have very good response from the audiences. I am really glad that i was in the group. We tried our best to bring out what we really wanted it to be: touch the soul. After the concert, we band member spent time at Chris house for dinner, we talked about the concert. We hope that next time, if the opputurnity come again, we should be more organise and hopefully we will do better then this time. But most of all, I am thankful for those who came to suppose us.

Yesterday, was chris's b'day. Spent dinner with him at Mongolian BBQ restaurant. It was great, laughter, joke, .... will never forget this. Something happened, the restaurant don't accept eftpos, so i have to get the excuses and ran out to get cash (not that far just 2 door down the road). Meeting the rest of friends at sunny bank coffee club. I found it is not really hard to hide all the plan for surprise, after all. Chris really surprise that there are more people coming at that time even though its really 1 hour and 15min sitting there at coffee club.

2 hours of chatting at home on phone with chris. Its good because we straingthen up each other, and make ourselves live life right and continue to encourage each other fire for God.

All these things that happened was great. But as for my feeling, the most thankful is that i able to show my appreciation of friendship on his birthday. Heard that Chris was very happy of things that happen on his birthday. Hope that this friendship won't go away. Lastly i send my best wishes to him for all dreams and ministry to come through.

Let the clock decide the job
How long more i have to wait just to do NOTHING??? aiya...

Yesterday was very tired. Practicing all the song from 6pm to 12pm. There only break that we have is... sent teryn home (just 15min). Yup! the concert is tomorrow and we are actually not really ready to go. But everything we have to do by faith... you know what i mean. I was surprise that i have to lead couple of songs. ha! wanna to know... you have to come to the concert. 7:30pm, 29th August, Abel Smith.

There is one thing that pondering in my mind before i end the day... The time management. I have 5pm practice this afternoon and 7:30pm cell group. I can't skip the practise because it is tomorrow... I can't skip cell group because i am sharing... So... what should i do and the practice is going till late. Well, may be i should going to practice after my cell at 9pm. What do you think???

This morning wake up, remember that my new landlord is coming to inspect the house (my unit has been sold to this P&G family). Well, as usual, pack my stuff, tidy up the house (not much to tidy up anyway, because it always has been clean :p ), spray something cleaner on toilet bowl and etc. At sharp 11am, my door bell buzz. They came in with this professional house inspector. He came with a stick, torch, digi cam. In the begining, i though this guy was just nothing but looking around and open my carbenet one by one. But then i found out that he is house inspector.

He told the buyer of everything from the cracking to un-even floor. He is so... good. Everything that he command, he took photo as evidence. Yup! Found there are some minor problem... I just know that i am actually staying in unit with very good condition. I mean in term of the property.

The Authentic Asian Chicken Dishes
Saturday night, Chris housewarming. We had a geat fun. Almost 20+ ppl were there. We had lots of chicken in different cooking, gravy to oily and from spicy to salty. Ah... the nasi lemak was the best! Because it's me who cooked it. :) After that we had a preview for the Shine concert. Man! Candy, rache and me were singing after the spicy food. We were so scared that we will burp... chris and ryan were playing guitar. Finally we found bass guitar player Daniel, he is good. Ryan wanted to playing bass but i think we another accoutics make the music much more different. That why I really want him to play accoutics. We had a great fun just singing circular song, especially chinese song. Dunno that annie and rebecca can sing very well.

Yesterday, got up 4:30am just to pick up chris's friends, Sharon (esther's sister) at airport. Went for breakfast with esther (friend of chris) and friends at pancake manner. It was a groomy day and i forgetten about my jumper! ha! almost become ice cude when we walked from the airport to the shell station, coz got my car parked there. Too bad that sharon decided to go with her esther at gold coast. So, we have to make a trip down to gold coast these day.

Keeping awake during the sermon is the most hardest thing to do. Yup! you can keep yourself awake by doing something else, but what if you were so tired and your mind just want to sleep. That why we called them "praying" when they falling asleep during the sermon because they look like in the praying.

Had dinner of all left over food from the housewarming. Man! its was so full... but its really nice. yum....

The begin of the new chapter
"Its a beutiful day.... yeah...!" Clear sky and the weather so nice to sleep in. But i have to bring my parent to city. I can't believe that they are leaving this afternoon. As my housemate told me, just felt that they just arrive... hhmm.....

My graduation was great. Rushing here and there to take photo. Preparing the dress and graduation hat. I have no ideal how to wear the gaun, but thank God that i have friend taught me about it when i was at uni. One day star.... ahh.... lots of photo taken. The ceremony was so boring... the "big people" (chancellor and senate....) they were giving speech... and it was so long. There is one moment i was falling asleep. But they speech was very encouraging. if i would really pay attention on them.

There is one very interesting thing to share. People all over were discussing whether should the string on the graduation hat on left or right. If left means not yet confirm you graduate, if right mean your already confirm. And confirmation is not from uni.... but the confirmation from chancellor. So they were sharing that the string should be on left side and when the chancellor shake your hand, then he will shift the string to right sde by saying" i confirm that your have fulfil the course requirment and eglible to graduate". After all this arguement.... the conclusion is just put it on left because...... everyone else is doing that. So when we were in hall.... we were asked to stand up and doing the confirmation thing....we were hoping the shifting of the string.... but it did not happen... aiya.....

It was so interesting to see them how they bow to pay respect to the chancellor... hold your front hat with your right hand and just bow a litter bit. That how they bowto each other. We were taught how to receive and chake hand with chancellor.

Yesterday was just a nice day to pass. Went shopping with friends at Indroo... i always wanted to buy the flovour popcorn, and yesterday was the day. We tried all the flavour, from savoury to the sweeten... from roast chicken, sexi maxi, cheese cheese, BBQ, sour cream to honey, mecadamia deluxe, butter scoth, double chocolate... ahh... I was surprise i bought one large, got another large pack for free. hhmm... they never put up the sign or other symbol that saying they have promotion. Well, they might only have one reason... Our look!

Got up just at 4:30am. Coz i have to pick up my parent at 5am. hhmm.... i should gone later then what i expected. Next, i might just arrive at airport 45min after the plane touch down. I has been so long that i didn't see my parent. 6months! Man! That was a long time. Thank God i still remember how they look like especially early in the morning.

ok mate! Today is my day... the last and the begin next chapter. Beside graduation ceremony in mind, there is still one more thing to think of.... the same question...
WHAT I SUPPOSE TO DO NOW!!!!

Chicken Welfare
Well, I am not free tomorrow so, thought that it would be better if i drop a line today. Yup! today is good day. Had lunch with David and Shung Ching. Shung Ching leaving to Malaysia for holiday. Man! How i wish one day that i can go home and take a short holiday!!! I will then eat up all the food... breath in all the air.

Went to church. helped out city care. I just got to know that City Care actually having the sizzler BBQ for the needy every Tues and Thurs. Man! I really thank God that i am in the church like this because we had never forget to bless those who needed. I should encourage more people to join as well... Had Brodie Chicken for dinner. I don't understand about this CHICKEN business, why everyone trying to bring out the different flavour of chicken. I mean no matter what you do with that CHICKEN, the CHICKEN still the chicken and end up still in our stomach. Really... among all these Chicken (KFC, RED ROASTER, BRODIES, KENNY ROGER...) which one you vote for the best chicken in town??? May be you should consider the size of the chicken they serve... it does matter man!!! Czz my friend rather choose the bigger size then those litter chick.

Have you ever sing... i am sure everyone can sing. But sing till people actually encourage you to sing in band??? It never happen in my life before. Sometime it is funny that whether my singing is good (meet the standard as singer), or they will just shortage of people. I really can't tell that i am in that standard or not... but really... if you think that i am as good as a singer... or may be anyway i can improve... tell me alright! :-)

Pancake for brekky
Had homemade pancake for brekky, with butter and honey!!! yum... of course i did myself. The weather just nice to sleep in but i can't... i hardly sleep again last night, i have no ideal what really poundering me. I guess i need to see doc already!

2 more days until the day for my graduation ceremony. I think i get more and more excited now. Knowing that this gonna be a big thing but i have to keep claim myself so that all the arrangement won't be mess up. Actually i am worry about my shirt, its raining today and i am scare that it won't be dry by thursday. Please, i need sunshine. My parent are coming. Ahh,...... got to start clean up my house already... this is the time showing them that i am not just finish study, but i had grown up and be able to take of myself... the best way to show this, it the cleaniness of my house. I got to start cleanning the kitchen, pantry, fridge, toilet, bedroom, wardrobes, lodge.....

Talking to my ex in msn just now... she is really nice gal. What really can't keep us togather is the distance, LDR (long distance relationship) required strong relationship, faith and trust. Why i said it hard because when i need her for comfort... she was thousand miles away. Seriousely, i speak through my experince, if can, don't ever try step in to this relationship. But if you already in, just hang on... because you never know the joy would be so big that you can conquer them. I am not talking about we lack of faith... but the time for waiting might be long. Planning to stay at aussie to work and she not really wanna to come over. She has to take of her grandma and mum as well... she such a lovely gal. We had been separate for 2 years now, and i really miss her lots. She always encouraged me things that i do especially in ministry. Not only full support, but sometime, she choose to do something for church togather rather then spent time togather alone. hmm... hardly to get this kind of gal nowadays. Probably that the reason why i am still single. :-)

Help from Far
Man! the side link actually got help from my dear friend, Joseph Chia. He is an IT student. Smart, Good looking (self proclaim), single still, but if you wanna get to know him.... hhmm..... most welcome. Not get to know him for intension of boyfriend coz he already booked. Booked to a really sweet, beautiful and pretty lady. He deserve her because he is caring, kind and helpful. Well, be honest, sometime a bit quite forgetful but thats doesn't matter right!!! Just hope that he always remember who is he going out with!!!

Monday Suck
"M O N D A Y S U C K suck, monday suck, monday suck (sing in mickey mouse theme song).

Monday morning, when everyone else heading to work or study and knowing that you going to be bore... that is the longest morning that i ever have. Done some cleaning and laundry... everything finish and yet its still not yet 11am. I have to get myself a job asap. I can't stand this anymore, but remember my aussie friend told me that may be God wants me to have a short break before the "big thing" coming up. Well, i guess some how its really true.

I suppose to receive a call from friend yesterday night, so as he had promised. hai... how should they be reminded do not made any promise if they are not sure for that ? ? ? Anyway, be honest, woke up this morning, i was in a deeply sad... some how i can't share this. Its has been bother me quite sometime already. May be living alone, less social and just be as godly as we can, attend church... might be good after all.

Long lost Singlehood
Its has been long since i update my blogspot. Just came back from Jeff wedding. Can't believe that he got married. Remember the time when he broke the news, I not even know that he has a galfriend. Things abit rush, but really, thank God that everything is over. Through my skill... i was asked to decorate their wedding car. Man! in the beginning, i throught it going to be tough because his parent insist wanted red to everyting. hhmm.... Jeff like silver car? how can silver goes well with red??? well, later this weekend, just found out that it is actually dark brown statesman car, so, i choose marron ribbon. I actually stayed over night at Lung house yesterday, so that this morning, i would be able to decorate the car early before they pick up the bride. hhmm... Was rushing the ribbon late night till 1am and got to wake up 6:30am. Man! and i can't sleep last night. Its was really terrible. Nearly fall sleep in the service this morning.

The wedding dinner was not too bad. The interesting part is that we all of us got to go for cruise because most of Jeff and Su Ann's relative from overseas. So, its was actually a very good ideal... but turn out, half of the cruise people were falling asleep. hai.... what a waste. During the dinner, had 2 g;ass of red wine and i lost count glasses of baileys i had. Man! Our table was the best, well, you can said that it is the most noisy wans. We had a good laugh, joke and really fun. What i can say that i had a wonderful time togather with my mates.

Just few days before my graduation. I am starting getting excited now. Well, when you think about it, just a ceremony. Yeah, i know, its once a life time, but that not what i really excited about... what i excited about is what is my next chapter of my life??? Would i be here??? work??? or just be a dump boy, doing nothing!!! hmm... My parent are coming and that really good because they actually choose to come here rather then sending my sis off (she is going to hawaii for study a week later after my graduation). Well... that their choice anyway. I am just a good boy.... :)

ok mate! i am really tired now. Hope that you enjoy my journal. Cya!

QLD vs NSW
hai... what a day! Went to springbrook with rachel and en qi. ITs a long journey, binna burra, lots of lookout, winery, bushwalking and more. Man! i like this thing, just that after all these, i would be very very tired,.... like what i am now. Felt like i have a sore eye, a huge eye beg on my eye. Well, i think this actually accumulated from the resort weekend as well.

Went to tomyum just now. Be honest, thats is the best place i can find thai food. My favourite dish, tomyum chicken with rice. yahhooo.... I was driving when we were on our way home because that 2 ladies were so tired. Meet Soney at freestyle for dessert. Actually Enqi miss her sourcy chocolate pudding, but they dun have that. hai... too bad. enqi won't have chance to taste that delicious dessert again unless she continue stay on.

Then, we went to milton coffee club to meet another group of friends, its annie's b'day. We found ourselve actually part of a big group there. more then 20ppl were there. I always against computer games. Its not i don't like computer game, but i will not let be as part of my life. Its such a waste of time. I hope my statement said: i rather do something which more benefit to mylife then just wasting time to play games. will help those ppl who addicted to compuyter games like Chris, John and.... the rest. Wonder when Chris will really understand how important to treat computer games not as part of life!!!

Sleeping Pretty
Sleeping... sleeping is the most wonderful thing to do in life. Infact, we spent one third of life time just to SLEEP! Amazing ah...! Sleeping... we can just forgotten about everything, your work, problem,..... but when you sleep with wrong position... that really annoying. YOu don't just can't sleep, but back pain, neck pain, ....

I felt so sleepy today even though i didn't do much. Do some grocery shopping with chris. hai... I guess it just because i have nothing to do, jobless. Thats why i am so lazy today.

Young Adult Resort Weekend
Yeah… just back from resort weekend. I was pumped up with gas… full of energy. I got to tell you what really happen in the resort weekend.

Ryan, Chris, Lennon and me were in the same car. After packed up our thing, we heading towards Sunshine Coast (app. 120km away from CBD). I got to tell you… the trip there were boring because every single one of them was sleeping and I alone was a wake… coz I am driving. Coral Beach Resort was the place we stayed, it a tropical site feeling coz it full of palm tree along the pathway. I like it very much. We stay in this 2 stories unit, with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Unit 31, I was sharing room with Ryan, Lung and Clay was my housemate.

We had a fun night, had fish and chips as dinner. We had supper as well after the sermon. While we on our way home from unit 37 (where the supper is) we were think want to jam. So we did, end up there are more and more people join us. Man! I tell ya, we had a awesome night just spent time together, sing song till 3am.

Catching people falling sleep in the sermon was the “thing” that kept me awake all the time. Ryan, and Ai Chee were the champion in these. Had BBQ for lunch and Pizza and Magnum for dinner. Hmm… trust me, it a really wired combination. We headed to Park after the night service. We continue our private meeting. Ha! I hope I can put up some photo…

Hardly wake up this morning coz I had not enough sleep. Hai… it’s was so hard just to keep myself awake during the sermon, so I got myself a mentos. It helps. Had group photo after the service. While on our way home, I was so disappointed by not having KFC for my lunch. Man! The shop just across the road… but it is across the freeway. So I have no way to get my KFC, since I am faithful KFC fans, I rather wait till I reach home.

Overall, this resort weekend away is a moment to catch with my personal faith after the Hillsong trip. God spoke to me in very different ways. When I really think about who I am today… I won’t be who I am today if I am not a Christian 5 year ago. It is because He had changed me so much and so real that I can’t stop loving Him. What I can tell you is that each of us are filled with spirit, passion and vision.

Now here is the hard work… we should maintain the flame tat burning. Do not let it off because if it is off… we got to start from beginning again.

Car Foreman
Yesterday, spent whole day helping ryan, chris's housemate to do some car maintainence. I was helping him to paint the car, interestingly need to brush it after spray. After that we rest for a while before we go for training class at church. I was alone for an hour waiting before the training class start because ryan and chris went to had dinner. $6 steak with big serving of salad, i guess it is really worthy. Anyway, when i was alone, i started to pick thing in my beg, found chris's digi cam. So i play with it. Dun get me wrong, i always play with that digi cam and chris allow me too, because we togather do research on this digi cam on how to get more nicer pic. Yup! while i play with it, i accidently formatted the memory. Contain 44 pictures, most of the pictures were the time we walking to indooropilly bridge. I felt so bad about it. Ended up, the whole night keep say sorry to chris because i felt very very very...... bad. I promise i will help him to retake all the picture again if possible.

Went to freestyle after the training, group of 20 with 2 separate table. Its very good just to catch with each other. Spending most of the time talking about how camera works with Suez, Ai qi joined later.

Wake up this morning felt so restless... probably i got really disappointed with my bank account....!!! :)

Trying to put on some photo on this site, but i failed. Ha! Got my address on Chris's Journal. I must seek advice. Woke up this morning, disappointed when got to know that things goes wrong again. May be God was trying to tell me something... I dunno! So, did cancelled all my appointment and stay at home.

Didn't do much today, I would be staying at home if I didn't send sms to Chris and ask him what is he doing after his class. He reply and asked me to shown him where is commenwealth bank at indooroopilly. Ahh.... how come he don't know where its located.

Shopped at Kmart for awhile with ryan, andrew, aaron and friends. Then decided to go to Mitre 10 coz Chris and ryan were looking for cloth hanger. After that me and Chris had a long walk to Indooroopilly bridge. We had great time walking there... i guess kind of exercise for us. Chris brought his camera along, took lots of photo, hopfully all these photo would work for whatever purpose it is... Very funny thing... we 2 spent more then 10min trying to across this busy street when we heading back. I guess what already pampert with pedestrian traffic light. We used to walk across the street without any problem when we were at Malaysia...

Claymation... not a new words for me when Chris has to complete his assignment. We spent time trying out to make this model - gorilla. But this silly guy destroyed whatever i did, except one... the leg... I dun think he release that pair of leg, i make wan....

Falling aslepp while watching TV. At home now, Writing the last line at 2:45am. Good Night!

First day of a week fasting was not so bad. Knowing that I need food, but I have to get this through. Living in hunger, not even eats anything today. From previous experience, the first 3 days of fasting was the worse, but I know with God’s grace… I can carry through this.

Receive a call early this morning, Rachel was asking whether want to go to Harbor Town – factory warehouse at Gold Coast. Without thinking I just agree because I really have nothing to do then just sitting at home. Got things organized and we went there with Chris and En Qin – Rachel’s friend from London.

Strawberry farm was the place we stopped. Feeding the animal and visit our long distance friend, Morgan. As usual, the first stop at Harbor Town was Nike warehouse. I can’t believe that there are so many things were on discount, too bad that I have not enough money to buy. As for Chris, he found the perfect size of pair of shoes but no color that he wants to. May be that shoes was not meant to be.

When we on our way home, we stop by Yatala Pie. Ryan, Chris’s housemate decided to rent DVD for tonight. So, three of us, walking in cool down to video shop nearby and rented 3 movies: Skull 2, Crazy Beautiful and 15 Minute. Finished 2 movies already, so now just taking time to write this down.

Had an arguement with Chris, its just very silly thing but i just can't understand why people like to fight against me with statement. I hate people who like to play around with words and sentences. Telling me that he learn these from friends who is lawyer... oppss! Is he did it for purpose or trying to tell me that he can't be easy to defeat. Well, i dun care all this, what i care about us whether he trusts what i said or not. Friendship is about trust...! Where is the trust that i am talking about here. Should we turn against your friends and start to use "lawyer skill" against your friend ??? ??? ???

Have you ever felt that so lazy until you just don’t want to do anything. This whole afternoon, I was just sitting on my “brand new” cough, doing nothing. After helping Teryn get away from her unfaithful landlord, I just felt dun wan to do anything. Lazy, lazy and lazy... lazy to do something.

Sunnie, Joyce and Rachel were at my place for the whole afternoon. We had a good time chatting. It was so funny that Sunnie, who is aussie, started to speak like Asian. I guess she hang around with us too much. She is a great friend of us, she is missionary and had done lots of work for the kingdom.

I suppose go coffee with Rachel because her friend is here from London. But funny thing is that Lennon called me up and said that he was very bored. I never receive call from him complaining he is in the boredom. Anyway, I actually arranged to go out together to have coffee too bad that I don’t have transport, so everything have to cancel.

Here I am, at Chris’s place again… just few houses down the street. I am actually dying of boredom, that’s why I am here. After watching TV – total recall, Chris doing his work now and I am just going to finish my journal. Today is just a normal day to live on, waiting anxiously for tomorrow to come.

Just start a new personal journal today. Actually I was inspired by my friends because they have their own personal journal on net, well, I guess I should start one as well since I found it is really interesting when sharing my life to people, especially those who are not around you.

Woke up today knowing that Rachel going to drop by after she drop her car for service. We spent near 2 hours sitting in front of TV watching Commonwealth Games. Never know that cycling has these interesting rules. After picked up the car, we went to Chris’s house because we actually going to wash her car. Well, to be honest, we have a great time just washing car together.

Meeting another group of friends to buy guitar, scouting around the area and finally he bought the classical guitar. They invited us for dinner at their place, too bad that I have to be the chief. I thought I am the guest! Anyway, I can’t deny that I am better cook then them, that’s why I was teaching them, but end up I am doing the cooking, not for showing… but for them to learn the style of cooking.

After dinner, here am I, at Chris’s house – just moved in few days ago. Having him around me, just like I am worry free. Not because we are “lover”… but we understand each other. We took time to talk out things, share out our life and tough time. Nothing is better then having my best mate beside me when I am actually oversea and away from family. Really, I cherish him a lot.
