“分胜负重要 还是 陪家人吃饭重要？”

(分完胜负再回家吃饭)

do you know what movie i've watched by now? my first movie this semester, and prolly the last too.

tomorrow's the last day of this really intensive semester and guess what? i still have jap quiz tomorrow and after working on Ford, Toyota and McDonalds, im now looking at beauty parlour for services marketing. yes, tmr's the last day of school, and im still looking at assignments. *heaves a deep breath

I AM OFFICIALLY DEAD FOR EXAMS

have never felt so unprepared before by week 12. i played too hard this semester. and assignment-ed too hard too. like all my weekends and weekdays are dedicated to assignments since end of April, not kidding. didnt do revision for new concepts at all. which is highly worrying now that exams are so close to the toe.

and with all the new commitments, new friendships to maintain, new responsibilities in the house, new year 3 marketing and management subjects all demanding thousands of words' reports, i need better time management and wisdom in allocating priorities.


















this was last friday after my jap speaking test, when we went St Kilda's for a late brunch, close to tea. and i got back my Toyota and Ford's assignment, first H1 assignment in Melb Uni! calls for a real celebration after all the shit that few weeks. Thank God our hard work paid off. :))














my two loves in melb uni, plus val dear of course. <3


















cheryl bomb!


















and mickey dear














i know, this is really quite random, but just thinking i've never shared a photo of our lecture hall before, so snapped this photo after product management (its a marketing subject not management heehee) lecture. neways this is just a normal lecture hall, think the one at The Spot building is da ultimate bomb, dynamite! will share a photo of it if i ever have lecture there again.


















when i discovered a flower in between the leaves of chinese brocolli, kai lan, while preparing dinner. haha.














now im torn between spring or autumn for my favourite season of the year. :(


















on board the car after sunday service, just look at the trees outside the windows, arhhh im tempted to change my favourite season to autumn. haha.














the youths at Victory Family Church (VFC), lunch at Nelayans indonesian restaurant after sunday service














check out my favourite coffee stall in school, they've got the best latte EVER.


















the stall's called kere kere :)














right, i've decided, spring is still my favourite season of the year, for it represents blooming life and hope. autumn is pretty with red and orange leaves, but they wither and succumb to the bitter cold, i dont like that.














still, i'll end this post with a tinge of yellow.

sweet dreams my darlings. its wonderful tonight.


its late in the evening, she's wondering what clothes to wear
she puts on her make-up, and brushes her long blonde hair
and then she asks me, do i look alright?
and i say, yes, you looked wonderful tonight

we go to a party, and everyone turns to see
this beautiful lady, that's walking around with me
and then she asks me, do you feel alright?
and i say, yes, i feel wonderful tonight

i feel wonderful, because i see the love light in your eyes
and the wonder of it all, is that you just don't realise, how much i love you

its time to go home now, and i've got an aching head
so i gave her the car keys, and she helps me to bed
and then i tell her, as i turn out the lights
i say, my darling, you were wonderful tonight

oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight.

photo book

how can the evening sky be this beautiful? it was last saturday evening, May 8 btw. :)














home-made apple pies by mic because i like them. thanks darling! <3














even though it takes quite abit of time and effort to prepare this, im actually liking it. cooking, and cooking for others is such a joy. :)

it must be in me since i was young for the only toy i remember playing with was masa masa the cooking set? always cooking and pretending to serve the invisible friends. and tailing madam (and be a 跟屁虫) when she was preparing dinner in the kitchen, fighting to fry the vege and garlic.














the melbourne loves for they make melbourne more than bearable, exciting and enjoyable. <3


















you know autumn is ending when these leaves start to disappear, leaving only the empty, strong branches alone to brave the cold.
































love the cafe culture and weather in melbourne. if only its the holidays, i can leisurely grab a book, spend the whole day in a cafe and posion myself with caffeine.

天冷你就回来

从前对着收音机 学唱旧的歌
我问妈妈为么 伤心像快乐
妈妈笑着 说她也不懂得
我想出去走一走 哦妈妈点点头

天冷你就回来 别在风中徘徊
哦妈妈眼里有明白 还有一丝无奈
天冷我想回家 童年已经不再
昨天的雨点砸下来 那滋味叫做爱




















































唔唔~ 别在风中徘徊.. 唔唔~ 天冷就回来..

渐渐对着收音机 学唱新的歌
我问朋友为么 做梦也快乐
朋友笑说 她从不相信梦
我想出去走一走 哦朋友点点头

天冷你就回来 别在风中徘徊
朋友的眼里有明白 还有一份期待
天冷我想回家 年少已经不再
今天的雨点砸下来 那滋味就是爱

winter is finally here

after all the talks about how strangely cool and sunny may's weather had been when its suppose to be turning winter, it has finally arrive tonight. abit later than before but yes gloomy winter is back again. the temperature is sitting at 6 degrees now and i just went to the balcony to smell the chilly winter air. niceee. :)

i have frozen fingers and feets now though.

after wrestling with Toyota and Ford for one and a half weeks (and it was a hell of one and a half week), im now looking at McDonald's hotel for a marketing report. yes, it is McDonald's and hotel. McDonald's as in the Big Mac, McChicken, sundae MacDonald's. you didnt see wrongly. haha.

if you are interested you can google about it, they use to have a McDonald's hotel in Switzerland in 2001 but the idea flopped and the hotel was bought over in 2003, so Mackers is essentially back to food again. we are just exploring the possibilities of having another one in the US now. won't it be so interesting if it is successful? sleeping with Ronald MacDonald's and friends. :)

okay back to the report.

ps. i am so gonna have Grainwaves now. ahhh horrible weather making me all greedy again.

holy fridays

just had the best lifegroup/bible study/youth fellowship yet tonight. it was so awesome to exchange, share and learn so much more about Christ through discussions as simple as tonight's. no paper, no bible (well a little), no pens, no notes, just pure thoughts and discussions.

still remember there was this phase after i've just decided to receive Christ, i was worried if i can stay faithful and committed to my decision, i was worried if my decision was a rash one because everything happened so quickly. like in a blink of eye. like how can you change all that you've believed in your entire life in just one month? i find it hard to believe myself.

but things just happen, things just change. through God's grace of course. felisha gave me this book called Being Christian and there are five categories of christian experience in it; earnestly curious, recently committed, suddenly saved, lapsed but returning, committed but seeking reinvigoration.

i would say mine for sure to be suddenly saved. like literally suddenly saved. Thank You Lord more than anything else for that, and for filling my life with so much more now.

right i digressed. the point is my initial worries are redundant on hindsight. praying the saving prayer (which huishan lead me unknowingly into, i thought she was just gonna pray for me! haha well not that i wouldnt if i knew it's the saving prayer. looking back the whole thing's so funny now haha) isnt the end to the battle of Christianity. but really it just mark the start of our lifelong journey with Christ.

there is so much to learn of and so much to think about. even tonight's 3H discussion isnt enough, its amazing how each topic just link to the next bigger topic and how every one of them are as exciting as the previous's. i am just so intrigued to find out more about everything to not stay committed and faithful. its a lifelong journey! :)

then it came the issue of my church hunt in melbourne. what else can i say other than be thankful and more thankful? so many large and established churches in melbourne city catering to uni students; CrossCulture, LifeEx, PlanetShakers, so on, and i ended in this small church in Boxhill which requires a 30mins train ride to get there.

the church is so small everybody just knows everybody after at most 2 sunday services. but its really amazing just how much the values of that church coincide with my desired values of a church, and how fast i just sorta settled in and down. and the initial 'right' feeling when i got into the church. everything just fell nicely into place.

i'm now blessed with a group of kind-hearted and nice bunch of youths to support and grow spiritually together with, and with each passing day i just feel my faith strengthening and myself learning so much more. what else can i say?

Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus, Thank You Lord!

awesome thursdays

sleep in thursdays are the best. waking up without the alarming ringgg of clocks. stopping by the window, taking in yet another beautiful day granted. leisurely prepare brunch. leisurely prepare for the afternoon lessons.

no rush , no hurry, no temper.

how nice to start a day like this everyday.

enjoyed brunch today. its baked apple oats with cinnamon sugar and garlic bread. eating oats make me feel healthier than i am.












check out my new school bag. :)












and i went for mama mia's musical yesterday night. all i can say is...

"mama mia~ here i go again. my my, how can i resist you? mama mia~ does it show again? my my, just how much i missed you"

social EQ module

you know i am doing this extra module called EQ module this sem, very useful for my marketing path in future. it basically teaches you how to interact and deal with people in the best way to make them feel comfortable and at ease. no lectures, no tutorials, no assignments, no exams. just practical experiences.

it is so difficult to be nice all the time. to strangers, to acquaintance, to difficult people, to angry people, and especially difficult to mean beans. it gets really frustrating after awhile and you just start questioning, why should i be nice to them? who are they to me? why must i put up with all these shit when i dun even know you or like you.

sometimes you just feel like being anti-social and put on an angry, agitated and super unfriendly mask. scold vulgur. scream and shout like a crazy pms bitch.

i know, only God has the ability to judge. difficult people teaches you tolerance and acceptance. teaches you how to love even in extreme times. gives you the greatest challenge in the EQ module.

so i try very hard. to master this module. no, there is no master in this module.

so i try very hard, to keep up in this module.

but after tonight, damn. just let it out yumin.

can i just take a damn break from this module. i am tired of being nice and giving chances all the time. can i just scold and judge like a crazy pms bitch, make personal attack comments, scold vulgur, anything that can let off some steam?

after all the effort, i am still so mortal, so human, so far away from God.

not distance, but difference.

rainbow-lifex

this is my second rainbow in last week. so love rainbows, because they're short-living. rare, special, yet simple.














one lazy and sunny afternoon (this afternoon)














one chilly and rainy night (tonight)

love sunny breezy afternoons; love chilly rainy nights.
love the night view from my apartment.

simple and at peace.
loving everyday of my life.

When I Think about the Lord,
How He saved me,
How He raised me,
How He filled me,
With the Holy Ghost,
How He healed me,
To the uttermost

When I Think about the Lord,
How He picked me up,
And turned me around,
How He placed my feet,
On solid ground

It makes me wanna shout,
Hallelujah,
Thank you Jesus,
Lord You're worthy,
Of all the glory
And all the honour,
And all the praise

It makes me wanna shout.
