Last Update

probably the last time i'm writing a post here...

wow, time flies. it's been 3 years since i've first step foot here. happy-sad that i'm graduating. at this point, more sad than happy... certain things have become clear to me over these few years... one of it is the meaning of Love. the perfect example is God and His Son, Jesus - who in an ultimate act of love, laid down His life. for humanity... for people like me. how crazy is that.

after living for 22 years, is there something/someone whom i can say with certainty that i love? will i choose to lay down my life for them? yeah, i like many things... i like music. i like food. i like yous. but, dare i say i 'love'? in my selfish nature, i have not come to a point where i have learnt to love. in all states, in all circumstances...

perhaps this is Life*. learning to live out our faith and hope with the love that was freely given to us.

Creator God,

show me how to love like You have loved me.

Update

the month of april/may was activity-filled. some photos...

Lady Gaga.

it was pretty good overall. just that we had to wait 1.5hours between the opening act

and her appearance. they practically played all the MJ hits during that wait... haha.

SWITCHFOOT!

i've always liked switchfoot. but after that day, i really really like them. so much crowd

interaction. Jon Foreman was standing on the barricade. held someone's hand for support.

he kept climbing out to walk around the bar... guess you could only do that at a

small venue.

inspirational. not just for me, but also for my friends. i think something's gonna come out

of the switchfoot gig we went for. we'll see :)

went for John Mayer a few weeks ago. didnt quite enjoy it as much as Switchfoot. maybe

i'm biased - switchfoot had already set that high standard. the venue, the fact that i had

an important exam the next day and that i was sick was probably the reason why i didnt

enjoy it that much. but still, he is good. very skilled guitarist. and he gave space for his

band mates to solo as well.

orianthi opened for him. interesting to see a lady shredding...

finally went to develop the photos on the disposable camera. CNY@JT's

that's all for now!

meanwhile, please keep me in your prayers. seems like a semesterly cycle for me.

stressssssed........

嗨，我是诗华。

最近迷上了中文歌曲。想起来有点好笑... 我从小就喜欢看第八播道。记得

在幼儿圆的时后，我还会唱电视剧的主题曲呢！（那时侯还算能唱－that's

for another time, maybe.）

随着时间的流逝，随着奶奶的离开，我好像忘了怎么‘’讲华语‘’。有段时期，

我还觉得 ‘eee，XX人真cheena...’。那时侯，很多朋友（可能现在也是吧）

都觉得 ang moh 派比较酷。但，if anything，我觉得自己其实比较

cheena。

嗳! 只写这几句都花了我这么多时间... 你的华语真的退步了很多...

还有很多话要说，但我懒得写下来。

下一次，我会再用华文把我最新的消息写在这里。

拜拜。

Goodbye, Easter

my friend came over from sg for a short holiday this easter. it was good having

her around. funny that it's only when a friend comes over that i'm traveling

around melbourne. if she hadnt come, i dont know if i would be going to the

tourist attractions at all.

we went to philip island for easter camp. my first with Life* Expedition. one that

i've wanted to join since last year. 4 day getaway far out at Philips Island where

we also took a tour to see penguins and koalas.

camp was good, sometimes felt a little strange. i had my friend from sg, my

house church group, many other church members that i knew by face but never

interacted with, and finally the arrow students. camps here are same same but

different to the ones i've attended in church back home. for one, so much 'better'

food! breakfast, tea, lunch, tea, dinner, supper. the same number of meals a day

but the food is freshly cooked and served. unlike ta bao food... haha. not to say i

prefer the ang moh style dishes or chinese food.

desserts aka sweets -- passionfruit cream puff thing.

(too sweet for my liking)

honestly, i didnt learn much from the sermons at camp. couldnt get the point the

speaker was trying to make. sometimes i think its my attitude. or maybe i'm too

used to deeper analysis? anyway, my biggest takeaway is being able to share what

i've learnt at LE in my past 2 years with my friend from sg. having her around to

witness what inspires and excites me. having her meet friends who journeyed with

me these past 2 years.

i'm lost in my train of thoughts again. haha.

more photos of my easter break.

waiting, waiting, waiting... for 3 penguins to appear

cute

there's a baby in her pouch

the wind was blowing and his fringe was moving across his face.

very pretty ^_^

other than camp, i've just been bringing my friend around shopping and eating. that was

pretty much the rest of of my easter break.

will be going for Lady GAGA concert tonight. looking forward to that. will post pics soon.

ppl in sg: hang in there! the summer's awaiting ^_^

Melbourne 2010

been back in melbourne for nearly a month. it gets harder to leave singapore

everytime...

2010. my last year of undergrad studies. i feel that my time here is too short.

the people i've met, the things i've learnt... i will update more often :)

oh, i shared in church for the first time in my life. scary...

the next few weeks are gonna be exciting. will be going for some events n

concerts. just today, i went for the loreal fashion show. the clothes were

nice, but they didnt wow me. still, it was fun.

at docklands

probably wont go again, but it was a good one-time experience.

will update again after easter!

Counting down...

thought i'd do a short update before i come back to sg (15days...)

the most memorable thing in the past few months was Australia University Games (AUG) 2009. this year's games was held in Gold Coast. was not intending to go. thought last year's experience was enough. but my friend who hasnt been to one wanted to (and squash is always the easiest sport to get into). so i was in... its a little crazy to think that my team got silver. i mean, my team was really weak. girls who picked up squash for 6 months only!

silver sounds good... i havent told u that there were only 4 girl teams! haha. much like mg days... and much like mg days, i got a silver. randomly, i miss my mg team. or rather, i miss sec school/ jc days. remember the times when we hung out at the squash court? and played hai-dai?

some photos...

after the award ceremony. guys got gold (defending champs!)

final team dinner

6 days. i enjoyed myself more than last year's AUG with the frisbee team. guess its because i'm better at squash. large part probably was that the squash team's very diff from the frisbee team. funny thing that i found that i was happy in Gold Coast even though i didnt get to do any of the things i planned to do (my main reason was not to play squash - squash was just to accompany my friend - i wanted to go to Movie World and Dreamworld). mainly, we didnt do anything except play squash, eat pasta and drink beer. why was i happy? i think its because it was a good time away from nasty melbourne weather. it was a time when i could not think about assignments, tests, all the uni stuff. it was a fun time.

would i go for AUG 2010 perth? for now, i dont think so, just too expensive. unless my friend makes it back to melbourne uni's honours prog and wants to go... haha.

other than that, finally got to SKYDIVE. was supposed to do it for my birthday but the weather was bad. 4 months waiting... it was good. tho actually, i think that roller coaster is scarier. thank God for the good weather. thank Dad and Mum for sponsoring me (tho i only told them after i signed up)

"where are my friends?"

ok, i realized this update turned up to be pretty long. added some thoughts as well, in addition to my normal updating/reporting :P so much to say... i'm better telling u in person. see you all soon!

>> i just have to say this. i like chuck. and blair. blair is funny...

Celebrations

i find that i'm beginning to like parties more since coming to melbourne. the gathering of friends, the fun and laughter... an opportunity to witness God's goodness at work. how nice.

attended quite a few birthday celebrations this year (yes, mostly 21sts). even i, had a party. just a small one with church friends. first ever real party! i enjoyed myself.

here are some photos...

friends who performed... so fortunate to be among these talented people

some gifts from that night. they say i look like i'm attending a chinese wedding...

wish i could be there at each of your bday parties. really missing out on all the fun and fellowship :( WHEN I GET BACK!
