Ok, it is time to update something in my blog in order to ensure that this blog is still alive.
I want to say thank you so much to TO2UGH Youth for sending me a birthday card all the way to Australia. I appreciate all the wishes that were written in the card, and i am always remembering all of you back home.
It's the 2nd week of classes for me this week after a 2 week mid-semester break. The 2 week break didn't felt like a break to me. This was because i had to hand up my Commercial Law II assignment in my 2nd week of break (This is the first time that i ever handed up an assignment during a break). It does not end there. I still had to hand up two more assignments (Business Finance II & Management Accounting II) the week after the break, which was last week. Thus, i didn't really get to enjoy my break though, as i was often in the university to discuss the assignment with my friends.
I did manage to watch "Up" though with my Bible Study friends in CF. The show was really nice and funny. It was a wonderful production from Walt Disney. Those of you who have not watched this movie should grab the opportunity to watch it. It is worth the money that you pay for a movie (though it is expensive in terms of Australian Dollars for me as i am watching the 3D version). I have also watched "Surrogates" and "Julie and Julia". Both these movies were nice too.
It's just past 3 months that i have been here in Adelaide. I have truly adapted to life here. In the beginning, it was really tough. I thought i could overcome the feeling of loneliness when i first arrived in Adelaide, but in truth, i couldn't. I remember listening to Alvin's sharing about his past experience studying in Australia. I always thought Alvin was one tough guy who could withstand anything that was put forth before him. But, he told me that he too couldn't overcome the feeling of loneliness at first. He told me that the most important thing is to make good friends, friends that can help you during your stay in Australia. I followed his advice and it really helped me a lot in adapting to life here in Australia, though i do miss home sometimes. I have to admit that i do count the number of days to the end of the year, in anticipation that time would go even quicker.
It's already mid October, and i only have 3 weeks, plus this week of classes remaining in this semester. I have a one-week study break before my finals begin. I am starting to feel the stress of studying again. I do not want to fail any of my subjects. The tuition fees here are so expensive and i really want to save my parents' money. I need to be more disciplined as i understand i have more freedom here than i used to have. I have to use my time wisely to revise for my exams. The worst thing, is that all my papers are within a week. That makes it even more challenging. The good news is i get to finish early while the others are still having exams. I prefer to look at the positive side of things to motivate me to study well for the exam. I would also try to do my best and continuing to seek God for wisdom and strength during the exam period.
Hopefully i'll be able to post more things in my blog soon. Till then, have a great week, everyone:)

Royal Adelaide Show
Ok, it's been a long time since i last put on something in my blog. So, while i'm free, i better use the chance to update my blog, since it's so dead.
Last Saturday, i went to the Royal Adelaide Show. It is an annual event held only in Adelaide, where there are lots of performances, outdoor rides, games and prizes to be won. This event is something like what we have in Sunway Lagoon, it's just that there is no waterpark and this event looks more like a funfair.
It was such a crowded place on Saturday, since it was the last day of the event. I went together with one of my housemate and some of his friends. We arrived at about 2.30pm, and saw that so many people were queuing up for tickets. To be honest, i was reluctant to go because i heard from my other friends who went that the ticket and the rides are very expensive. Nevertheless, i still went as i want to experience how does the event feel to me and whether it is worth it, since i would still be in Adelaide next year. Perhaps i would recommend those are new to Adelaide to go for the event too.
I did not really spent much during the event. I paid AUD15 for a student ticket, and i only played one ride, which already cost me AUD10. Now you know how expensive it can be. I have some friends who can spent up to AUD100 in that event itself. Anyway, the whole show was very interesting, and i could say i enjoyed it very much.
There were performances during the event. I did not watch everything. I only saw a pig race and a performance from stuntmen on motorbikes. Both of these performances were nice, although i wished that the pig race could have been a little longer. Then i accompanied my housemate to play some games where there were prizes up for grabs. He actually won a huge frog out of shooting a basketball into the net.
We waited until at night for the fireworks. The fireworks were beautiful. Although it was raining heavily at that time, there were many people who were watching the fireworks. The fireworks lasted about 20 minutes.
We headed home about 9.30 pm by train as it was less crowded compared to bus. I had my dinner as i did not really consider the food in the event dinner (burgers, pizza, fries, coffee, pie). So, basically, that's how my whole Saturday passed. I did not have regrets though. I would definitely go for the event next year again.

A Kind Of Love So Difficult To Comprehend
When i attended the first OCF meeting yesterday night, one of the songs that were sung during worship really touched me all of a sudden. Therefore, i would like to share the song here to all of you. I am sure that this song is very familiar to all of you.
Amazing Love
Verse:
I'm forgiven, because You were forsaken,
I'm accepted, You were condemned,
I'm alive and well, Your Spirit lives within me,
Because You died and rose again.
Chorus:
Amazing love, how can it be,
That You my King would die for me,
Amazing love, i know it's true,
And it's my joy to honour You,
In all I do, I honour You.
Bridge:
You are my King,
Jesus, You are my King
The love that the Lord our God has shown to each and every one of us is so difficult to comprehend. We can never fathom the depths of His love for us. It is a kind of love that is everlasting and never changes. Though we always take His love for granted, He did not stop loving us, but He continued to love us just as the way we are. Because of His love for us, by sending Jesus to die on the cross for us, we are all saved from death, caused by our sins.
His love for us is truly and wonderfully amazing.

Jesus Is Our Only Hope In Life
A very popular question that people ask is "What is HOPE?" People in this world hope for different kinds of things everyday. For example, during the global financial crisis last year, people were hoping for a quick recovery of the economy, because people were suffering from unemployment and businesses were suffering losses when their financial reports were published. Not only that, as students, we ourselves do hope all the time for wonderful exam results. Who does not want to have excellent exam results? Sometimes, we even hope for very small matters, like we hope that there wouldn't be any traffic jams along the road when we drive.
But, in reality, all these things would not last forever. Earth is only a temporary place for us humankind. Sometimes, i do wonder why do i have to put in so much effort in my studies only to realise that ultimately, all these things do not make me go to heaven to meet Him. Our real purpose on planet Earth is to live a life that reflects about Jesus.
Jesus is the true hope for all of us, not the things and successes on Earth. Jesus wants all of us to come and know Him. Jesus is the only way to eternal life. Last Friday, when i attended Christian Fellowship for the very first time in Adelaide, there was a speaker who was sharing about a person whom he met and that person told him this, "There is no more life after we leave Earth". The speaker then told him that there was no evidence that there was no life after leaving Earth. The truth is that there is life after we leave Earth, and that is when we will go up to heaven to meet our heavenly Father. But this can only be possible if people choose to accept Him as their true Saviour. There is always hope for all of us, as stated in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, and that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life". We will experience how to be a generation of hope when we accept Him as our Saviour. God always provides us with unconditional love. He loves for who we are, and that itself is hope. Therefore, it is important that we Christians, share to those who are lost and do not know Him about the good news. It is never too late to share to someone whom you know that is not a Christian yet.
The good thing is that there is an event coming up in Kuala Lumpur Baptist Church on the 22nd August 2009, called ADORE. This event is a good opportunity for us to bring friends to listen about who Jesus Christ is. There will be an ADORE Bash from 4-7.30 pm, and followed by the concert from 7.30-10pm. Do come and have fun and fellowship with each other!!!

Life's A Climb, But The View's Beautiful
So after a long time of not updating because of my exams, here i am right now about to post something that all of us can apply in our lives. But firstly, i would really want to thank all my good friends who prayed for me continuously throughout my exams and giving me support to go through my exams even when the studying part was stressful for me. Thanks a lot!!! I really did not think that my exams would pass by so quickly and without me realizing it, it is almost the end of June already.
Anyway, yesterday, i went for an almost full-day outing with Sarah, Faye and Joseph. Sarah planned the programme schedule for the day. We were supposed to meet up at Sarah's house at 9 am. But, due to my carelessness, i totally forgot that i had an appointment with the doctor to get an injection as a precautionary measure to the outgoing H1N1 virus, which is so deadly. Thankfully, my appointment with the doctor did not take long, though i had a chat with her about my future studies in Australia. After that, i went to Faye's house to pick her up. Finally, we were off to Sarah's house and we reached her house about 5 minutes past 10am. Then, we then headed to our first destination for the day, which was Sarah's big and beautiful University of Nottingham. By the way, before that, we went to Tesco to purchase some shuttlecocks as we were planning to play badminton too. Then, we headed for Sarah's uni. We played badminton for about an hour, and then we played some basketball, with the ball provided by Sarah. It was a fun time of games and discovery of hidden talents too hehe.
After that, we headed for lunch at a restaurant in Broga. The food was not only good, but it was also very cheap. Then we started our hiking to reach the top of the hill, with Joseph leading the way up. The climb up the hill was quite tiring and challenging, perhaps due to my lack of stamina. We took about 45 minutes to reach the top of the hill. We took lots of pictures of ourselves with the view from the top of the hill. The pictures are posted by Joseph on Facebook and you can view them.
After a while on top of the hill, we then headed back down as Sarah was suppose to go home and hike the hill again with Joseph, Hannah and her friend. Surprisingly, the walk down the hill was quicker than we thought, as we took only about 20 minutes to reach the bottom of the hill. We can thank God that none of us suffered any injuries from hiking up and down the hill. After that, we left the place and went back to Sarah's house. We stopped by her house for some asam laksa made by Sarah's mom. After that, Sarah and Joseph followed Hannah and her friend to hike up the hill again, while Faye and I went back home because I had an appointment with my dentist at 5.30 pm to remove my braces.
The hike up the hill definitely gave each of us something useful to learn, that is life is full of challenges ahead and we have to persevere in order to overcome those challenges that lie ahead for each and everyone of us. God has placed challenges in our lives to make us a stronger and better person in life. We should not give up at all when faced with difficulties in life, as this may be a test given by God to test our level of faith in Him. Life is never a bed of roses for each of us and no one will have a perfect life to live with. All of us are will face different kinds of challenges in life, and it is up to us to respond to the challenge that is given to us, no matter how tough it will be for us. When we have responded to the challenge, we will be able to see all our efforts converted to success and satisfaction, and that is what all of us want in life, I'm sure. This is something that each of us can apply in our own lives.
Besides a whole day trip with my buddies, i have also finally removed my braces after almost 2 years of wearing it. I felt like a person with a new set of teeth. But, i still need to wear my retainer daily except when having my meals, in order to prevent the teeth for moving. I will have to learn to adapt to the retainer. Today, i had a bad experience too. One of my car tyres suffered a puncture, and I panicked. Thankfully, there were a few people who helped me out when I needed someone the most. I bought them some drinks after helping me out as a thank you note to them. I had to completely purchase a new tyre as the punctured tyre cannot be used anymore. It cost me a lot of money to purchase that new tyre. Anyway, i was glad that my car was working well again. Praise God!!
So, basically that were the events that happened throughout these 2 days. There were good and bad events, but i thank God for being with me all the time. He is such an amazing God!!! Everyday, I'm counting down the days left in Malaysia for myself and I am thankful that i am so blessed with many wonderful things throughout my life in Malaysia and i will really treasure them even after I have left Malaysia.

Shopping For Camp Stuff & A Piece of Good News
Yesterday, after my class, i went down to Uda Ocean in Petaling Street to shop for camp stuff together with Hannah, Sarah, Faye and Joseph. I reached there before 4 pm. When i arrived, the rest of us had started shopping first as they reached town about 1 pm. I would say we had an amazing time shopping. While shopping, at the same time, we also took some pictures of us shopping. That was fun. The photos have been uploaded by Joseph in Facebook. You can go and check out the photos! After that, we stopped by at Popular bookstore to purchase more stuff. Then, we split up and some went to this shop called Happy Planet to purchase gifts for the camp while the rest went to buy some other stuff. Finally, we went to Mydin to put the finishing touches to our shopping activity. It was really fun but tiring. We finished our shopping close to 8 pm. When we were all in the car, we were all feeling so uncomfortable as there were so many things in the car but and also behind the front seat. Joseph, who was sitting in front, had to stretch open his legs to fit the things in between his legs. We then went to Kajang for a late dinner due to a massive traffic jam on the way to Kajang caused by a car accident, which created a big crawl. We ate at a mamak store, and we finished our dinner about 10 pm. I then fetched everyone back to their respective homes, except for Joseph, because his parents waited for him at church.
Camp is just days away, and we are all very busy preparing for it. I hope that camp would be a fun time of fellowship with each other and also and also learning about God's Word. I hope that the camp would be a memorable one for each and everyone who is attending it. As we count down the days towards the camp, i do pray that God will give each of the camp committee members the strength and good health to prepare the things necesary for the camp. I know that it would not be easy for the committee members, but if we all stick close together, we would be able to achieve something big for God's glory.
As for myself, my exams are just 2 weeks away and i am beginning to feel nervous about it. Anyway, i want to share a piece of good news with you. I have received an offer from the University of Adelaide to study there. I was so happy when i received the offer. It was always my dream to study overseas. I would be leaving in July, which is not long from now. I have already told my relatives and most of my close friends know it too. I would be going to Australia to study for 2 years. However, there is an incentive for me to finish my studies in one and a half years, provided that i receive exemptions from the subjects that i am currently doing this semester. This exemption can be obtained from the exam that is in 2 weeks time, which is why i am so eager to do well so that i can complete my studies earlier. I am excited, but nervous too about going to Australia to study because i will be away from my family for the first time. I hope to overcome it as quickly as possible when i arrive in Australia. For now, I look forward to the time remaining for me to spend in Malaysia, as time flies.

Good Friday, Easter and Some Other Updates
Ok, it's been a long time since i last put up something on my dying blog. So here it goes. Last night, we had a Good Friday service at KLBC. The TO2UGH YOUTH came up with a skit titled "Everything" by Lifehouse. We practiced tihs skit for a number of weeks to prepare for the real presentation. I hope that people were blessed by the skit that they saw last night. I was glad that many people turned up last night for Good Friday service to remember the Lord's death on the cross and His resurrection three days later. I was also surprised to see Joseph, as he was allowed to come back home for Good Friday. Sadly, he would be leaving after Easter service. Anyway, i hope that the skit will be a great reminder to each and every one of us that the Lord died to wash away our sins so that we will be cleansed. Thus, we should never take the Lord's sacrifice for us for granted. It's amazing that He would ever do such an act for us. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice on the cross!!! I pray too that Easter will be something meaningful to each of us tomorrow and that the message will be well spoken of about how the Lord rose again from the dead. That is a fact that we can never deny.
Now to more updates about myself. I am about to have a one week semester break, which arrived at the right time for me, I would say. This is because I can use this one week break to complete whatever assignments that I need to do. I have to pass up two assignments the week after my break. So I can say that my break is definitely not a holiday break, but a break to finish up all my work. I guess I am struggling to balance up my time, which is something that i am trying to work on to improve. Furthermore, I think that I need strength from the Lord to carry me through another week ahead. I do feel helpless at times but all I know is that I can always draw strength from God and ask Him for wisdom on how to live my life well. Time really passes by quickly, and it is already April. In less than 2 months from now, my exams are beginning. I have still yet to come to terms with the demands of 2nd year level subjects. In addition, I have to retake my marketing paper as I failed it in the last semester. Therefore, in total, I am taking 5 subjects this semester. I don't want to let my parents down again just like what happened in my last semester. I want to do my best, at least I want to get over with these subjects that I am taking. I won't be setting myself a very lofty target, because I normally do not achieve them. Well, I can just hope that my semester will go on smoothly and that I will be better prepared for my exams.
Well, people have been telling me that student life is definitely more fun than working life and that I should make full use of my student life to have fun and enjoy as well besides studying. I hope i can do that often, but I do not want to neglect my studies because I know that if I slack a bit in my studies, the consequences would be unbearable. Sometimes, I just envy those who are really smart and do not need to study so hard to achieve good results. But too bad I am not one of them. I have to work extremely hard if i want to have the same kind of results like the smart ones. This is a something that I have come to understand. I am not complaining but to be grateful for what God has blessed me with. I'm sure there are many other things that He has blessed me with that I can never count with my ten fingers. I just have to be thankful to God and not take his blessings for granted. Anyway, i can also thank God for friends who would understand me and i truly appreciate their presence around me.
Well, that's all from me for now in this post. I will try to post more stuffs in my blog as often as possible if i can find the time. Looking forward to Sisters' Night this coming Saturday.

In addition, I have to retake my marketing paper as I failed it in the last semester. Therefore, in total, I am taking 5 subjects this semester. I don't want to let my parents down again just like what happened in my last semester. I want to do my best, at least I want to get over with these subjects that I am taking. I won't be setting myself a very lofty target, because I normally do not achieve them. Well, I can just hope that my semester will go on smoothly and that I will be better prepared for my exams.
Well, people have been telling me that student life is definitely more fun than working life and that I should make full use of my student life to have fun and enjoy as well besides studying. I hope i can do that often, but I do not want to neglect my studies because I know that if I slack a bit in my studies, the consequences would be unbearable. Sometimes, I just envy those who are really smart and do not need to study so hard to achieve good results. But too bad I am not one of them. I have to work extremely hard if i want to have the same kind of results like the smart ones. This is a something that I have come to understand. I am not complaining but to be grateful for what God has blessed me with. I'm sure there are many other things that He has blessed me with that I can never count with my ten fingers. I just have to be thankful to God and not take his blessings for granted. Anyway, i can also thank God for friends who would understand me and i truly appreciate their presence around me.
Well, that's all from me for now in this post. I will try to post more stuffs in my blog as often as possible if i can find the time. Looking forward to Sisters' Night this coming Saturday.
