| " Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sin"
well, it took someone's death for the forgiveness of our sins. Although we, His children have disappointed him again and again, yet He still forgives and loves unconditionally. He is love.
I am only human and I need Faith, to forgive. | | |

I went for the 20TEN Planetshakers Conference rally last night. I had chills throughout the night. God's presence was strongly felt. It was awesome.
Bishop TD Jakes from Dallas, Texas shared the word.
Here are some points worth taking note:
-God shows His covenant to those who fear Him.
-When I did not have the faith to get to Him, He had the power to come to me.
-You can’t have it both ways: you either go by SIGHT or by FAITH.
-Do not let anyone define you by what you went through (one weak moment that pulled you down)
-He knows exactly what it takes to bring You to believe Him for who He is.
-The reason of feeling lonely eventhough u’re in a crowd is simply because there’s no intimacy with the ppl around u.
INTIMACY - Into Me, See.
Take off that mask of who you pretend to be in front of other people, and let him minister to your inner self, the REAL you.
He ended his sharing with Luke 5:25
"And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men"
In order to be reminded of this powerful verse every day (especially for the next 52 days), I've created a desktop wallpaper for it. Get the full version of the wallpaper here
Entering my final year for psychology (undergraduate) this year, I have to decide which path I want to be taking in the future. I know I've probably said this 1000000 times (because of the massive amount of ppl who have been asking me since year 1), that I'll finish my undergrad in 3 years, do my honours for 1 year and move on to masters degree for another 2 years. So in total, I will need to have 6 years of training before being registered under the Australian Psychological Society. I have been so sure of this "plan" until just recently, this year.
I like psychology, it's very interesting and I've learned so much throughout the 2years+ of psychological science. However, my experience of observing and working with kids with special needs early this year with the Sensory Integration Center in KK has opened up another option for me -> Occupational Therapy.
I may not know a whole lot about OT yet, but my understanding is that it is more practically based, compared to psychology which is more research based ( i think). I dislike doing research, like very much. Not that OT will be any easier than Psychology, with 1000 hours of clinical practice in 1 year for the masters course including weekly presentations (omg) and tests throughout....but if it's something God has placed in my heart to do, I'm sure He will make it possible for me.
Still considering my options. Either way, I know that I want to invest into the lives of the young ones with special needs and I am on the right path. My future is dependent on my post graduate studies and this next step is by far the most important. I am praying that God will send me the right people to talk to and that I will be sensitive to the Spirit's leading.
If you are facing a similar situation, I pray the same for you too :)

| Sorry xanga! I've abandoned you for quite awhile now. But no worries, I'm back :)
Starting my third week of classes in uni, I have finally settled down. Still missing home even though this is my third and final year for undergraduate studies. Home will always be HOME, for me.
A lot has been happening for me lately : Birthdays, catching up with people, house church, catching up on readings, shoots....
Just yesterday, I covered an event for Meld Magazine. It was the annual Lord Mayor's Welcoming Students event @ Federation Square. I enjoyed the program lined up for the afternoon. Shot 500+ frames in 2 hours. At the end of the day, I was exhausted with a stiff right shoulder. Really thank God for the beautiful sunny weather. That's the easiest condition to take pictures in! I was pretty happy with the shots I got during the event. Well, at least I had some decent shots to present to the public!  One of the downsides of being a female photojournalist who is not-so-well-built is that you don't get to knock people off the way that easily. It was very challenging to squeeze amongst the other photographers just to get the perfect angle. Being a pro photographer, I must say, really does come from lots of experience and inspiration.
Feel free to check the Meld Mag website for interesting stories/events happening in Melbourne.
I was looking through the website today and I found this picture which I had taken 1 year ago.It was actually my first contribution to the online magazine. I have nearly forgotten all about it until it appeared again on the website. Time flies.
Lastly, here are some of my favourite shots of the day ->
Flinders Street Station. I was crossing the road while taking this. heh
View from Federation Square. The tallest tower in the photo is the Eureka Tower. Tallest building in Melbourne - 88 floors i think.
Soooo adorable!
Lord Mayor, Robert Doyle having a chat with international students. I was in front of a video cameraman and squeezed between other photographers. All the discomfort was worth it!
The crowd participating in the "longest train dance", or whatever they call it.
Have a great week ahead people! =)

| In the midst of packing, I had to stop.
Partly because my luggage is already half full.
Partly because I am not ready to leave, yet.
I have been home for 3 good months and I have enjoyed every single moment of HOME.
Second time leaving home, and it's not getting any better (or worse).
It's just this really heavy feeling (if you know what I mean) of leaving.
Will definitely treasure my last few moments in the beautiful land of Kota Kinabalu.
I will miss the beautiful people who have impacted my life in various ways.
I will miss the breathtaking view of the sea from the beach or even from the coastal highway.
I will miss the yummylicious food that is IMPOSSIBLE to find overseas.
I will miss having summer all year long, not having to bring everything (scarf, hat, umbrella, jacket) out every time.
and.....
every thing else that made me smile this summer break :)
It is the little things that count
It is always good to be reminded that ->
