耶和华全能，全能的上帝， 主啊！我赞美你

The following is an excerpt from one of my previous blogs, as I was reading it tonight I felt the urge to put it up here. I remember the first time I came to really know Him I was so filled with joy...like I didn't care even I had no one in the world. I have lost touch of this over the years.

耶和华全能，全能的上帝， 主啊！我赞美你

I love this song, it was a Mandarin song that was first sung at a gospel rally in 2001 at RMIT when I was still a student then. Everytime I listen to it ,it brings back memories of when I first started my relationship with him. Here I feel the urge to share this , as I find the contents of the song a reflection of the expressions of my heart. -Ade

爱 让你跟我活在一起， 有了你所有问题我都不必担心, 当我无助的时候你用温柔的声音让我的每个明天都有信心
该怎么回报问不停。。。我知道有些时候我的情书想天气，也知道你会原谅我的孩子气。现在回想我们的曾经感谢你让我在爱中成长，我答应我会爱你直到最后一口呼吸..

A $45 haircut!!!! Ouch!!!!!

eyeuchhhhh!!!
$45 for a layered haircut at this Korean salon....not that the cut is any spectacular either...I feel like a big chunk of meat is gone as so the Chinese saying goes -_-!!!!! (AND this is WITH student discount O_o)

BEFORE


i console myself with the fact that at least she cut off my split ends.

AFTER

Guys, DO NOT ever go to Kiwi Salon again on La Trobe St.

I might as well go to those $12 per cut at those Viet salons in Footscray...haihhhh

You should have seen me when I first walked out of the salon. I looked like J.Aniston on FRIENDS with the big puffy layers. Minus the svelte body.:P

Cup Day!

Today's public holiday so no work, yipee!!! I caught the train to Mont Albert with Alicia. It was nice to see my cousin and my cousin-in-law again, as I hadn't seen them in a while.

But couldn't believe we had to wait for almost 40 minutes at the yum cha place even with booking!

Confessions of a college call girl

The bastard!!!!!!!!!

My brother opened my pack of Red Rock Deli chips yesterday and this morning when I took them out the bag is half gone!!! I am seriously tempted to march into his room right now where he is still sleeping and pinch his ears! grrr...no kidding, I have been hiding my stash of chips in my bedroom away from my brother's eyes instead of in the pantry. Unfortunately he found this out too. lol :P

Anyway on a more serious note, why the title you ask? well, i was reading a blog yesterday night, written by a (now ex?) college girl who turned to prostitution during college for financial funding. You can read her blog at http://collegecallgirl.blogspot.com/

As I read her blog (which mostly tells of her "sex-capades" with her various male clients) I was filled with a sense of sadness for this lady. In it the writer bared her innermost thoughts and pain of how because of the nature of her job, her self worth was based on sex and outward appearance, not the witty,intellectual person she is inside.

In one entry she mentioned how she grew up in a Southern baptist church, and spent many Sundays attending church and being told "True Love waits" and at one point searching for God but not finding Him. God, to her, just simply doesn't care. Then she just went her own ways after that. I felt for her, because as I read her blog it was as if I saw beneath all her wild woman ways here was a woman who is so vulnerable and broken. Someone who still hasn't yet understood God's grace as a God who is interested in every aspect of her life. Someone who is broken, and yet..somehow still seeking.

just another sunday

Another beautiful Sunday, well, it started out beautiful, now it's drizzling with gloomy overcast sky. The weather here in Melbourne is as changeable as my moods :P Which means you can actually get 4 seasons in one day - starts off sunny and bright, changing to dark and overcast later in the afternoon to a thunderstorm late in the evening, and finally , hail. Therefore Melburnians are prepared with thick coats, even on a nice summer's day. And most bring a little umbrella in their handbags. :D

I have been feeling ecstatic of late, as my parents most likely will be here on 10/12 for 3 weeks for my brother's graduation. :) Hopefully their "waiting list" tickets get confirmed.
