I've actually got so much to write but I just can't seem put my thoughts down into words at this point. I'm not sure whether it's because its hard to rearrange my thoughts or just simply because I can't express those thoughts.

The old is gone and the new has come. 2010 is going to be a year that is different. I believe it is going to be a year of fulfillment and a year of great wonders.

Looking back at the past year, I've accomplished quite a number of things. I've graduated from A-Levels with results that I'm satisfied with although I could have done better and my Diploma course with flying colours in the same year, and completed one semester of my Advanced Diploma course. God has been gracious and because of that, I'm here in Melbourne.

February was a turning point when I left Kuching to further my studies at Melbourne and settled in Planetshakers City Church and Scott's Urban Life where I met amazing people that I truly cherish.

April was the month where I found out that despite me, denying the fact that certain friendships cannot withstand distance, it still has a funny way to prove to me that somethings are meant to be the way it is suppose to be.

May- that's when I started my part time job at Strathfield. And yes, I'm still there.

June- the month where I graduated my Diploma course. From February till June, I reckon it was the best time I had in class because we were all so close to each other (it's different now that I'm in Advanced Diploma). Even after going our separate ways, we still make the effort to meet up at least once a month to catch up and have our mini-gatherings. We even had a class gathering at my place with our lecturer to party the night away. Lol.

July was when I start my Advanced Diploma course. It was also the time where I realised I was grateful I actually attended the Diploma course.

September- PlanetUni Camp at Phillip Islands was incredible as well as the encounter I had with God. But before the camp, there was a new addition to my family- Baby Nicholas. He was borne on the 1st of September, a spring baby, and a super adorable one too. I can't believe he's actually 4 months old now.

November was when I got a huge surprise from the beloved people from PlanetUni. I guess God really knows when you're really truly in need and He sends the right people at the right time to give you a hand. Thanks guys! I also started my holidays and am currently still on holidays. =) Owh owh, JANE HII YONG HUEY came and visit me from Perth. Although it was a short trip but we had fun... And she gave me an early birthday present. =D Jane, coming again in August this year?

December, the month of Christmas, dinners and parties. I reckon I was pretty much stuffed with food this month with all the dinners. Christmas eve was spent at Sharon's with superb food as well. Christmas day itself was spent slacking at home reading books I bought the day before. Dinner at uncle's was awesome especially the butter prawn. Yummy-licious! NYE was also spent at Sharon's with spectacular view of the fireworks without having to get all wet under the rain.

So basically, that sums up my 2009. I've gone through tough and challenging times and I won't deny that I still am. But I'm blessed to have family members and friends that cares. Thank God for them.

So... Here comes 2010 and also my 21st Birthday.

People say 21st birthdays are suppose to be a massive thing but mine was a pretty quiet one. It started off with me waking up after noon and then met up with my uncle, aunty and 3 monkey cousins for lunch. Brought the monkeys to my house and we played one round of CLUEDO and then we got bored so we went down to the garage to play PS2. They played SingStar and it was hilarious. After that, we went to my youngest aunt's place for dinner. And that's bout it. Dinner with my close friends tomorrow night after work and church service. BBQ on Monday to celebrate my brother's birthday.

I'm not sure whether it's a good start to a new year or not, but then again, I guess it's still a part of the growing up process. To be honest, for the past 2 nights, I went to bed with tears, in other words, I cried myself to sleep. It's not something I want to but rather, it's something I can't seem to control. I might be heading back to Kuching after I complete my course in June because of financial problems. Although mum told me not to worry and just go with the flow, I can't. I'm not a person who can just go with the flow. I plan my things before I do 'em, the important stuff, of course. This is not a burden I want to put on my mum and it is not how things where planned. Situation changed and circumstances arises in the midst of all the plannings. However, no matter what happens, I'll still be happy and grateful for what I have and what I have been through.

I went to aunt's place for dinner again and before coming out from the loo, I saw the scripture 1 Peter 5:7 that says "Cast all your anxiety to Him because He cares for you..." Ironic isn't it? Just when all the tears started, a scripture that I have always seen when I go into the same toilet suddenly caught my attention today. God really has different ways of showing me things.

It's 1.57 AM now and I should head to bed. I think this is the longest post I have written in months. =) Guess the new year resolution will have to wait, huh?

I'm sitting here at my uncle's shop and it's really quiet right now. Or more like, it's always quiet from 2pm to 5pm. Good thing is that, the shop is air-conditioned. Looking out from the window, all is see is the sun shining really bright and the gushing wind. But as long as I stay in the shop, I won't have to deal with the 39 degree Celsius heat outside. It's unbearable, really. You can tell by just feeling the HOT heat when customers open the front door. Lol.

Anyway, I guess I owe whoever still reads this blog an apology. I was supposed to update my blog when I finished exams but I guess the laziness took over and yada yada yada. It has been about 2 months since I finished my exams. Gotten my results back a month ago and it was all good. Thank God. =)

There isn't much highlight to my life even though I'm on holidays because all I do is either working or slacking at home. Haha.

However, Jane did come over from Perth for a few days and we had fun. We went cherry picking with my other friends, visited a lavender farm on the same day and went to a few wineries where my friends went wine tasting. We went to the city, went shopping, talk crap and she bought lots of stuff. Lol. Our last meal together was lunch at TGI Fridays where she surprised me and gave me a Thomas Sabo Charm Bracelet for an early birthday gift. =) Thanks Jane. Love you heaps.

After Jane left, life pretty much went back to the same routine. But routine life isn't something we should seek/have because it makes us lazy and tend to stay in our comfort zone. But then again, there's nothing much I can do other than going out and celebrating a few of my friends birthday. Pictures are in Facebook. Will try and upload some in the blog soon.

The jolly good season is coming. Christmas is coming. Family dinner on Christmas day itself is gonna be something unusual. Planning to have Christmas celebration with a few of my friends on the 23rd as well. Just some simple western cooking and dessert baking I guess... I wonder how boxing day would be like. I really really need to buy t-shirts cause I realised that half my wardrobe is full of long sleeves. Thats a no-no for summer.

My brother's photography is going pretty well I guess. I just hope everything gets on track by the new year to kick start a great year for him. Visit www.alvinwong.com.au or alvinwong.tumblr.com to know more. =D

Okay, time for me to go clean up some dishes.

Will try to update more often if I can.

Blog will be updated soon after FINALS. =)

Hello world!

I'm sorry for being away for so long but I can't help it. Yes, I know being busy isn't a very good reason but then again, life is a routine right now for me.. So when I get the extra time, I just chill, rest and watch a movie or something. What about catching up with friends, you ask? Well, to be honest, I haven't been doing much of it. I have emails that I have yet to reply. Maybe it's just because I have nothing much to update them on. But I know it's the effort that counts. So yes, those who are waiting for my email, I'll get to it as soon as I can. I guess at times I just got so lazy because whenever I'm in the mood to go online, the internet at home decided to be unfriendly. Hence, I can't detect the wireless.

A lot has been happening since 2 months ago, okay, maybe not a lot. But there was spring break and PlanetUni Camp at Phillip Island where awesome things happened. God touched and moved so mightily and stir things in our hearts that we never imagined we'd have. =) Then there was exams. And I'm still sort of in the midst of exam period right now. Then there was quite a lot of birthday surprises, like Debs', Ming Xian's and Carmen's. Speaking of which, I have yet to upload the videos because Facebook tells me it'd take 45 minutes to upload a 1.44  minute video, how ridiculous.

Owh, and I sorta baked my first cheesecake here-it's actually helping a friend who wanted to bake a cheesecake for her host mum and didn't know how to so I went and help. And guess what? I sprained my wrist and ankle that night, =| And I baked egg-less chocolate chip cupcakes with my lil' cousin last night. It turned out quite nice actually.

Hmm.. What else? Photos are in Facebook but only my friends can view them. So if you want to view them, please let me know.

Work is fine. Boss told me he's gonna give me a raise in the next few weeks. =) And I'm gonna help one of my aunt at her cafe tomorrow from 9am till 4pm. I just hope that my finger nails doesn't crack and chip again.

Weather here is crazy. Its so COLD! And it HAILED just now. So I ran all the way home from the bus stop about 250 meters away.

Okay, I have another post to write about an entirely different topic. So yes, this is the end of this blog post. Sorry it's picture-less again cause I'm using my brother's computer now. =P

Mum cancelled my Malaysian credit card today. Sobs. :(

I have yet to apply for a credit card here, shall do that once I start uni next week cause I want to do it at the same branch I had my account with, which is just right opposite my uni so its more convenient although Box Hill's branch would be very convenient as well. But oh well...

I am actually contemplating whether I need a credit card or not but since it's free for students, why not? Cause my uni doesn't accept cash as mode of payment. What a hassle.

Worked OT for an hour today. So tiring. Been having late dinner since I started to work. Not good not good. Had dinner at 9pm last night and 8pm today. When I first arrived, it was early dinner, now, its late dinner.

Anyway, baking egg tarts with friends tomorrow. Hopefully it turn out nice.

Hugs!
