:: One more down, one more to go ::
Yeah!! submitted another assignment today.. it was on Integrated marketing communications.. my grp and i were to propose a plan.... One last one to conquer before I leave for Perth...Marketing research proposal, more words HERE I GO!! hmm very boring to report abt assignments again.. let's tok abt smething else.

:: BooM!! ::
Went for City Church's youth ministry BOOM! launch tonight.. yes I can still join youth okay (though i am nearly a century old soon) but I made the requirements of 25-ish... never cheat okay..
Quite exciting to see so many high sch kids give their life to Jesus... however my own personal take-out on this is that I dun see myself in it... as it is out reach to the educational centres...would prefer to be in the adult services.. the boom sessions also clash with friday's ocf...

yeah lookin forward to playing golf tmrw!! finally hv not played since i got here... Su and Lou going away for a leadership training camp for the wkend.. sob sob..oh well i can focus on my assignments ( here i go again )...

Count down: 5 days to Perth

:: Weight control routine ::
Did i mention tha I am a member of a gym now.. hehe can work out now and there are grp classes included as well.. quite a high tech place i must say.. today Su (my official gym partner) and i were doing weights on machines with hydrolics...

This program is much required as it is moving close towards winter where food will be constantly on our minds...

Went shopping specially for a new pair of jeans aft gym today... found one!! yeah!! was tryin on this really nice cutting one but realised that i need a size between 10 and 12.. arrgghh I hate it when I am in bwt sizes...

:: Should women be initiators?? ::
On the topic of whether women shld take the initiative in "wooing" an opposite gender which she is interested in.... here's some food for thought:-

" Adam need a helper. God fashioned one to the specifications of his need and brought her to him. It was Adam's job to husband her, that is, he was responsible - to care for, protect, provide for, and cherish her. Males, as the physical design alsone would show, are made to be initiators. Females are made to be receptors, responders." - Passion and Purity, Elisabeth Elliot

**yawn.. thinking... hmmm need to sleep*

:: Milk tea... Yums ::
Instead of attending lecture last night, me and my Taiwanese classmate Ann went to Coles supermart... haha had a good time chatting with her, exchanging tips on wha to eat for supper in winter... I introduced instant soup whilst Ann said milk tea... its not normal milk tea leh..

1) Heat up a glass of milk
2) Throw in the tea bag (Earl grey wld be good)
3) Add sugar
TaDa!! a nice warm milk tea to warm the stomach....

I gave it a go this morning for breaky... quite good I must say, like the jap ones that I so love... but a bit bit too milky and felt a bit jia lat aft that.. think next time I will add a bit of water... yeah!! I think I will go get a small milk heating pot, its faster than the microwave...

Presentation tmrw.. sigh.. buyer behaviour.. but not TOO worried coz I am doing it with ANZ Relationship & Sales director as my partner!!

:: Screwy exam timetable ! ::
I wan to be in S'pore on 25th Jun!!! Just got my exam timetable last night.. its totally crappy!! I've got my most hated paper first on the 9th and to make things worst, buyer behaviour is on the 10th. Both subjects hv endless pgs of readings required. The nxt two papers are on 21st and 24th... its TERRIBLE!! In order to be in S'pore on 25th, two options:

1) Check for night flight on 24th and arrive BRIGHT early morning on 25th
2) Request for exam to be brought forward on 23rd... heard that it is quite easy to do tha here.

:: Giving Thanks ::
Yesterday during service, just suddenly felt that God was telling me, I hv been handling things by my strength and struggling to get everything in order...and not looking towards our Father... So this morning, knowing that I had to go for another much dreaded grp meeting.. I prayed for PATIENCE.. and WISDOM... It was the most efficient meeting we've had so far.. PTL!!

::Not the best time to be sick::
Honestly, the weather has not been a great help to my health... though eating right and exercise (trying to) has not really kept me strong at the most critical moment. My mum used to say that whenever I am stressed out studyin, I would fall sick.. this is through her observation of many years. Oh well, I dun contribute this particular incident to study stress... haha I wonder why

I just rejected meeting my group mates for the assignment due on tues... knowing that meeting up does not help especially when they have not done their part. Also it is totally inefficient and waste to time to do so... so I said I would send them my part and we will discuss it online... in comparison to that, my buyer behaviour mate is totally efficient and co-operative. Though we spent only a short 1.5hrs in the library yesterday, we completed out presentation slides; discussed the points and questions that we will raise in the presentation and divided some information searching work... tha is wha I call efficient!! No point spending hours with each other and not getting much done...

But I thank God for this protection and provision... have been walking hm alone in the cold late at night, not the wise-est thing to do... Have to get myself off to search for a car now... or shld i do that aft jul holidays? hmmm...

Nearly forgot to mention that I have not been blogging coz I hv been spending time in the library.. strangely enought at Mel uni lib.. haha thinking of changin to Mel uni.. will check out the courses... Counting down to the days to meet my parents in Perth... yeah!! I miss them so much (esp when I am sick)...

::No time::
Hv not really have time to blog for the last few days... every waking moment i am trying to face my comp and type furiously away... nope not chatting or (obviously) blogging but working on my assignments... things that are due:

1) Marketing plan (part one only somemore) 10% - due 26th Apr
2) Integrated marketing communications (group work) 35% - due 27th Apr
This is the frustrating one whereby I spent a totally unproductive afternoon yesterday discussing the assignment....one of my team members does not agree with our views, however she can't seem to give us the answer as well... I was really "what the..." (oh rest assured tha it only stops at these 2 wds, quite a term we use here in Mel).. anyways it was an aft wasted...
3) Buyer behaviour presentation and 3000 wrd essay (group work) 25% - due 28 Apr
4) Marketing Research proposal 30% - due 6th May

No time to breathe somebody give me CPR!! anyway really looking forward and past all these assignments, will be going to Perth on 6th May.. yeah can see daddy and mummy... oh yes and some friends, which reminds me I hv to make arrangements to meet them...

::God is GOOD::
PTL... I got an extension for my assignment!! muahaha!! Went up to my lecturer aft class and simply asked (without battling my eyelids).. and he was like "okay, how many days do you need".. I said 2 days and he was like "okay if you can, by Wed 2pm.. if not next week in class".. Yeah!! but but.. I am still going to be a good gal and try to finish it by Wed.. coz I hv two assignments due next week!! this is only the start of it...

::Perth here i come!!::
Daddy and mummy wans to take a holiday... and they said that tics to Perth is super cheap now.. the other option was Japan in Jun (which i objected despite all the sushi yelling 'eat me, eat me', coz i hv been there too many times in the past 2 yrs) ... I suggest Korea but mummy was not too keen at all.. so Perth it is!! yeah... a bit sad coz not going bk with Perth friends and the time is very short... cannot drive to Margreat river... Now starting to make a list of where to go.. wha to eat.. hahah oh yes buy my airticket as well..

Media Lover exposed her heart @ 7:30 PM

::Sure cannot finish::

For that amount allocated, I have to write a 3000-4000 marketing plan and tha is only the first part of it... *Whine* On top of that, I have a presentation for the same unit later also at 10%. Can they give some thing more substantial!!! Was so so stressed out on Sat that I really need someone to whine to and that someone had to be in BKK!! *arrgh*

Anyway I send in a request for a 2 day extension on the written assignment... pray that my tutor will give it to me.. some more there is another presentation due and 35% Integrated marketing plan (oh well tha shld be easy coz like its doing a media plan all over again) but its both group work... time time time.. I need more time...

::Wha's on everyone's mind::
Hv been readin a couple of blogs on people's concern on attending OCF... being new to OCF i can see what they are referring to... its like "everyone's going there" but what is our purpose of going??? I came fr a cell based church, the idea of attending a cell separately fr a church was very weird to me initially... i had also considered attending OCF for a short period until I find a cell based church to settle down...

I wld not deny that there are certain things which i wld not agree with, I realised was also that there was no proper structure to the cells... As in, whether or not the leaders are equipped and trainned for the position that they hv been called forth... there is also thus no spiritual covering for the leaders.

At the end of the day, i think wha is most impt is our relationship with God, it is Him that we have to answer to, not man... if the place that we are at is not allowing us to grow in our walk with Him, then we hv to consider movin elsewhere where we can get proper feeding... However, the decision can only be made aft much prayer and discernment fr Him... It is where He wants to place us and use us for His kingdom...

I wld confess that my walk with God has becomed more challenging since my arrival here in melbourne... Trying very hard to hear where and what He has planned for me here...

::Cell retreat::
We had our first ever cell retreat... would say that it is certainly loads of fun!! About 13 of us turned up at the Botanical gardens and we ate the food tha we brought... Yes i prepared the oven baked chicken wings which everyone said was finger licking good... Miss Su Ee Wong, you cannot complain abt gettin up early to help me make the chic wings okay.. coz you totally missed it!! hehe Not only you overslept, but you accused me of making less than the 3kgs tha we bought!! humph... still hv to call my dearie hsemate to be my witness... *SOB SOB*... *W*

Though it was a cloudy and gloomy day, I thank God tha it did not dampen our moods!! we were still eating, playing games and running around!! Certainly need to loose the weight that I put on at Easter camp... speakin of which, it is offical, I put on 2 kgs at the camp.. what did I eat besides chips, chips and chocs??? I wonder why...???

Great News!! I hv uploaded some of the easter camp photos.. Su and I hv exchanged our WHOLE Collection so we hv tons of it now!! The uploaded ones are just a sneak preview of them and I will show the rest to you guys when I get bk to S'pore okie... Was very happy tha i made that investment on the one off lithum battery for the digi camera, it was certainly worth it coz I was snapping away non stop!!

Oh oh I also bought my new life application bible yesterday at Koorong... yeah!! Went with gie and Jo (gie's mum) and of course chadna... hehe... I can do my bible study for tmrw night's OCF with it... hmmm better get down to it now... alrighty enjoy the pics..

::Easter Camp report
OMG!! Easter camp just flew past in a blink of the eye!! So many things to report and dun think I can do it in one blog. In a short summary, I would say that indeed it has been a difference experience compared to the district camp that I went to last dec... Guess its also the young crazy, energetic (not that my s'pore cell members were not, just that the setting was different), but in terms of empowerment it was certainly not as good... Nevertheless, God was indeed amazing and good. Just a couple of quick points:

1) God spoke to me about certain issues which I have been asking and was assured that He has a purpose for not giving me what I hv been asking now. I had also forgotten the desire I used to hv on ministering to ppl... and God revived tha at this camp. Also, I fulfilled half of my SP quota for this year!! hehe God prompted me to ask one of my camp cell member for rededication and he said yes.. PTL!! It was amazing and two of the non-christians fr our cell also received salvation!!Guess tha's why God placed me in Ezekiel for a reason: "Received vivid visions and delivered powerful msgs"

2) Never have i seen such continuous flow of snacks like Easter eggs, Chocs, chips etc etc... those are just the top three items. We were snacking during morning sharing as well as night sharing... as though that was not enough, we would snack during our free time too!! no wonder Jo has to boil barley for me today!! too heaty!!

3) My first time on trampoline!! it was so fun, bouncing up and down... some ppl tried flips but I didn't dare to...but we did star jumps!!

4) How most of us would naturally and automatically do the two fingers *peace* sign when we take pictures with Su... she has certainly passed on that effect very well hehe...

5) 120 ppl fr OCF Mel uni went for the camp and 22 ppl fr our cell was part of that number. Tha makes up 18%!! whao amazing!!

6) Clear skies with beautiful stars at night... but it was too cold to stay out for long coz it was ard 6 degrees at night.. gosh we wld hv becomed popsicles!!

7) Last but not least, made many new friends and added more cute guys to my list of friends.. hehehe Not forgetting knowing my cell members closer...

Am still swopping the pics we took at camp with Su, will upload them on yahoo pics when I get the full set... you guys should see my Mel uni cell, its HUGE!! we are at a current head count of 28 ppl!! It really time to multiply but the thing is most of us just came into this cell this semester. It is certainly amazing when God moves...

"My God is BIG, so STRONG, so MIGHTY"

Got presentation and assignment due on monday!! *whine* arrrggghhhh Pls pray that I will organise my time to work on them this holiday week!!

::Preparation for Easter camp::
Yesh it is finally here!! tmrw wld be the day tha OCF ppl fr all over melbourne gather together at the camp!! so excited.. so decided to blog a bit before I sleep.. my bag is BURSTING!! hmm also bringing sme goodies to eat.. hopefully dun put on too much weight hahaha... easter bunnies here I come!!

Good to hear tha the evangelistic event in S'pore went well... tmrw is easter... It certainly a day to specially remember tha God sent His One and only son, Jesus, to die on the cross for us... It is not something that we shld take for granted. We were saved for a price.. the life of Jesus... Any special progs for you ppl in S'pore.. besides bringing your friends to "Caught Not in the Act" tha is... think a celebration for SW is still an outstanding issue.. hehe

alrighty gota sleep now and wake up in the mornin to catch the bus... will give a full report of the camps and not forgettin photos!!

::Bright morning::
It was indeed a bright morning, not just Sun bright but JOY bright ... hmmm wonder if there's ever such term... had a nightmare last night, guess its just all connected to wha tha has been happening for the last two days... but I thank God that He has taught me to bringin it under control. With this I guess, its time to move on and see greater things come to pass!! Steph sent me an email with very sweet and assuring words.. thanks babe!!

::Presentation::
A quick thanks for all those who have prayed for my presentation yesterday... It certainly went well... thought had not stirred much discussion but managed to get everyone hype up through a "creating creative objects"... Special thanks to my other dearie, Dawn for keepin me in prayer :>)

::Tsk Tsk, Gloom gloom::
Received some unhappy news today... sigh guess tha's why God was speakin to me yesterday and preparing my heart for it... but I also believed that the issue was eating up too much of me, so much so that I did not function as the norm...anyway guess its good that I am going to chuck it aside, errm no surrender it into God's hands... Big thanks to Su and SW for listening to me...dun know whether the whole issue sounded crazy but now eve's back to earth already...

Got presentation tmrw, should be good.. will be talkin abt the choice of media mix... brings me back to thinking.. studyin is quite unchallenging now, just reading and reading... kinda miss the satisfaction tha I got from seeing my creative campaigns come to pass and the results that client's get through their sales... my 7,500 songs iPod challenge at Isetan and my everloving iPod beach party... yes those working now would think I am mad...tsk tsk

oh yes, if you are a vistor, please dun be shy and leave a msg okie... :)

::Service::
Today's service was held at Arrowheights instead of the usual RMIT... hmmm wonder why... It's quite amazing how God spoke today abt submission and surrendering ALL THINGs into His hands... He has called me here for a reason and He will see it to fulfillment... ALL other things shld be secondary... Made a fresh commitment to Him so as to refocus my life once again...

::Easter Camp::
Whao did not realise that Easter camp is this wkend...hmm it will indeed be an exciting time as it for Christians and non-Christians.. will be a good time to meet more ppl and make more friends... *yeah* also it wld be good to be ready for God's word in this intensive 4 days... despite the tons and many assignments that would be due aft Easter break, it is good to place some time aside to spend with the Mighty one...Oh yes, think there will be a one day cell retreat which Su and Vee Chan will be organising, can't wait... we are going to play tha "Christ in the Vessel" game rite Su?? It better be on the menu.. haha!!

Alright!! Due to much demands and requests, I have finally removed the swirlling clock... will replace with some other cursor when I am free...hehe prob during easter week... Oh also uploaded more pics fr our Girls night out under the Melbourne album, go hv a look...

Tha's all for now.. need to get ready for a soccer match (errh not to play but to watch... Chad might be playing so we are going to support him!!!)

::New Hair day::
Yes yes its the time again where all my hair is starting to get naughty and uncontrollable.. so wha do i do when tha happens?? I get them disciplined.. a cut is required. Had initially promised myself that I would not get a cut here, coz the ang moh do not know how to cut asian hair... but this time I decided to give it a try since my friends do it at a chinese stylist's shop...Guess wha.. you've got a spunky eve now... the place tha i got it cut had a lot of jap and korean "imitations" patronising... and therefore the cut I got also turned kinda jap lookin too...3/4 ways through the cut I was like "I wan Vince (my singapore hairstylist)" to myself... whine..

Went there with Su and we had the same hairstylist and we gave the same look to each other when we stepped out of the shop... the question mark and not sure wha to say to each other look... *silence for a moment* and then I said something to the effect of :" mine is spunky your looks funky".... hahah and when we compared notes su said the hairstylist said her hair was too soft and falls nicely.. whilst the hairstylist say mine was frizzy...We were like "whao really two end of the spectrum"

Lou just said that my hair looks thinner.... tha's for sure, aft So much hair was removed... not sure if I cld retain the same style tmrw, I tok a pic.. will upload it for you guys to comment nxt wk... hahha
Am going to OCF tonight.. wonder wha the ppl way say, will they notice at all??

Yums.. chocolates
I had MAX Brenner chocs!! muahahah.... Was buying some food for cell tonight at QV w Su and then we decided to check it out... Yums we had the choc fondue and the Waffle... yums yums yums.. wha more do I hv to say abt MB, go try it out, its definately worth the experience... aft eating, the staff certainly saw two HAPPIER ladies walkin out of the shop.... btw if you dun know, choc has happy enzymes... so if you are feelin down, pop a couple of them...

Oh well not too worried abt the calories.. went for a short jog this morning.. to the post office...yeah it is finally on its way!!

::Non chinese males::
Was just thinking yesterday that the aussie male here are really blokes...last wk my classmate and i were talkin abt this certian sweet (Pepe I think, the kind you can put candies into a cute dispenser, think can only get at toy R us in singapore now)...I was like I think so, dun really remember... He came up to me aft lecture yesterday and pulled out the sweet.. said tha he saw the sweet in the store and thought tha he shld get it... at that pt in time I thought he was going to like give the sweet to me.. NO...he just gave ONE candy to me.. ??????? was it me or is it just the bloke thingy.... and they say female species are difficult to understand...
