I was really excited about the long easter weekend, as you can see I was about to fly up into mid air. Thankfully I still have friends to pull me down so my feet is still back on solid ground LOL!!!
We went to a market somewhere on the hills and saw beautiful oil paintings!!! BEAUTIFUL..If I were to own my first house, I will probably consider getting one of these painting here.
We sure did some exercise – cycling and horse riding (LOL).
Let me share with you some beautiful sceneries that I saw… 🙂
Don’t you agree
When they all say
“Home is where the heart is.”
But do you see
With every step that you take,
You get further away
From where the heart is.
It’s so easy to be blinded
& caught up, up in the clouds where everything’s in a haze
Causing you to forget about the days,
Of the common, simple, beautiful ways.
I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends.
Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents.
Talking, laughing, joking – didn’t quite know what was to come.
Years of memories, irreplaceable fun.
I remember telling mom that I’d make her proud one day.
She would smile and knew exactly all the right words to say.
Man, I miss her & can’t wait till I get back to the bay.
Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways.
Isn’t it nice,
To simply know,
There’s somewhere you can go back to.
So it’s a big sacrifice
Everytime that you decide
You can’t even if you want to.
It’s so easy to be blinded
& caught up in the clouds where everything’s in a haze
Causing you to forget about the days,
Of the common, simple, beautiful ways.
So even though,
I am happy now,
I’ll never forget where I’m from & how I came to be.
What was common, ended up to be
A very unique treasure I have now decided to keep.
Firstly, Happy Chinese New Year to all my dearest back home!!
Influencer’s Conference ’09 ended, eventhough I didn’t managed to get to most of the sessions, I was truly truly blown away by Ps.John Bevere’s Sermon. This time listening to him, I believed God spoke to him, gave him the word to be preached. It bought profound revelation into my life, and I am glad He will be coming back to Influencers 2010 as our main speakers with his wife-Lisa Bevere. I am taking this change of mindset into 2009.Its sooo Awesome, Thank You God !!
CHINESE NEW YEAR!
I miss the food and celebration and the reunions back home!!! I miss HOME!!! But nevertheless, we still had our traditional CNY eve dinner in a HONG KONG cuisine Restaurant. We had about 10 people, and then we went to SPATS for desserts and then later to Michelle’s place to play “rapid dough”- which was pretty fun!! Today on CNY first day, I went to Glenelg with Phylia and Dorothy, to chill out. I reckon we celebrated the Aussie way on Australia Day!! Hehe..I got a tan now…
Some random pictures…

I wonder why holidays have to end so soon..so sad!!
After some deep thoughts about my new 2009 resolution, I didn’t come up with much…I am thinking positive, slow and steady wins the race!! =p I have been struggling with wanting to post up my 2009 resolution but after today’s sermon, I felt that despite the uncertainty that I felt, I that I should have a grand plan. Claim God’s blessings and promises this year and make 2009 an incredible year!!
Below are my resolutions in no particular order of importance:
1.To start a new blog
-Well, since I am so interested in particular a few things like: makeups,skincare, and shoes. I might want to blog on things I purchased and used and also do a review on them.
2. To find God and his Grace
– I really think this year is the year where I declare the promises of God’s blessings for my life and doing so, I will devote my time in prayer , devotions and reading christian books. Ps Chris Hill preached that our provoker and our seed is link and that a mature christian ought to be thankful for the provocker because it pushes us to go to the next level to bear fruits from the seed of blessings God has instore for us.I still am at times dumb founded by the fact even walking in his will, we get hurt and learning to walk out of the hurt can caused us to be consumed but I am never in doubt of God’s love and grace over my life,and everyday I thank God for moulding me to be a better person.
3. To make wise career decisions
-I really want this year to be a year where my eyes will be opened to new opportunities and that I know when to grab hold of the presented opportunities . I know it is quite unlikely for me to change a new job right now but I hoped that it will be year that I have courage to take big steps. I pray that I will be brave to welcome new things into my career and in daily life.
4. Develop an area of interest
-I have always loved music,loved singing. This year I will try to equip myself more in these areas but I won’t share what I am going to do here but just pray for me that I will have the perserverance and the passion to work towards this goal.
I guess that’s all I am willing to share on my blog..of course I have a few more grand plans that are more personal, that I will keep it to myself. I hope this 2009 will be a year that we all work harder to make this year unforgettable.
Leave you all with my current favourite band…. The Fray
The hardest part about saying goodbye is having to do it again every single day.Every day we face the same truth but life is fleeding. “Our time here is short,and that we must our own life well”, I tell myself today as I prepare myself mentality and emotionally to say goodbye to a chapter in my life.
I’ve always had a mental image that I would be happy, successful and financially independent by the time I turned 25. Now as the clock ticks and 2008 comes to an end, many things has yet come to past, and it worries me a little.Today I feel like a grieving loss of the old me. Saying goodbye to a part of me, and moving on with the next phase in life.This year I told myself that “It’s not about counting the years, but making the years count” , and I understand I have to look forward with beaming hope.
Looking back at this whole year, “it felt like a roller coaster”. Alot of unexpected , alot of changes took place and many of it I felt helpless, as I have no say in the outcome. This year I turned 25-an age, a number which I fear. Maybe I expected alot from myself, but I deep down it didn’t felt any difference, I don’t think I looked older , or have significantly made an impact and contribution to this world but one thing I see differently is the way I react. I felt in baby steps I have learned to live life a little more care free, a little less rigid. I wonder if I’m supposed to be at this age.
This year, I have many things I wished to thank God for:
-That my family and friends are safe and well.
-My Job in the university as an Account Officer. In this short 6 months, I earned myself a little small promotion from HEO 4 Level 1 to a HEO 5 Level 1.
-The friendships I have gained this year.
-Being able to see dear friends tied their love knots…
Nevertheless, with the ups, there is always the down side. This year, someone dear to me lost my respect for him and everything in between with the friendship. I have been hurt before , it took me many years, but little steps I felt I got better, stronger but this year, the hurt was intensed, I wonder if I could ever be able to let this rage and anger in me dissappear. I wouldn’t like to admit here but I know this time, I’m letting go everything-the friendship and the emotions. I felt I should have made this decision earlier, not because of what is proven to date but if I knew how great the damage is to my life.Somehow in the midst of it all, I finally felt like I’ve done myself some justice. I might sound like a bulletproof vest, building up all my defenses right now, but underneath it all, I feel the pain and I am telling myself, to toughen it up, to wipe away the tears, put on the armour and look forward because my life cannot just stop here in this moment, there is still more…I have to believe in it. I’m doing this for myself now.
I will be Better in Time..
So to 2008 Goodbye. Goodbye to the good and the bad and I give God all the Glory for everything in 2008 and to 2009 I place this brand new year into your hands.
Its been a long time since I last blogged. Feels kinda weird blogging again..maybe Im rusty. Anyways,to compensate the time I was away, I shall post up lots of photos to feast your eyes….

Hey all, I am going on a holiday , leaving early tml. This is my first holiday since I started working. It feels great, paying for my own holiday, but most of all the feeling of knowing that it is a very well deserving holiday. I am going on a houseboat holiday with 11 other friends. Most of them, I don’t really hang out with alot or know any of them particularly well except for the one or two but I guess being in the working group, we started hanging out more and found some common grounds and I am so super excited to have this holiday. The joke or is a joke?- One of them say: ” eh let ask delia also , we are going on a houseboat holiday on Murray River, she is a lifeguard, she could save us if we fall into the river ” . Oh Well, I don’t know about saving anybody, but certainly if there is no anaconda or crocodiles, I don’t mind jumping in. I haven’t pack yet and I am still sitting in front of my computer …hehee… Well, I am sure to have alot of juicy holiday pictures !! hehe… can’t wait to sit down relax and drive a boat!! haha.. holiday here I come!
They say we leave this world , the same way we came into this world. Alone and naked. So if we do leave, we leave with nothing. What is then the measure of life? Is it define by the people we love? Or life is measure simply by our accomplishments? What if we fail or never love? Could we measure up? I can only say I am glad there is a God, ‘coz I am only human, made of flesh, made of human ,only human!
