Updates about Perth

I know that Ive been real slow. Ive put up a journal entry some time last week relating my 6-day Perth experience on my multiply homepage.

Im too lazy and tired to blog more about my Kukop trip. Take a look at my albums at Multiply. They speak a thousand words. My Perth pictures can be found there as well.

What about TRUST?

Sometimes I just get so sick of trying real hard to discern what is right and wrong, or who's speaking the truth. It's really tedious to draw a line to stop myself from being over-suspicious or over-sensitive. Crossing that benchmark would bring me to the other side of the coin. And that makes me someone silly or gullible if I lower my guard a bit too much.

I wish I could slip a lie detector chip in everybody's coat. I just find it hard to see things in positive light. And let alone to trust and believe.

A Hongkonger friend of mine just told me about a heart-breaking discovery about her current guy. How could something that is of material significance be kept from her for two years? I just loathe liars and people who have deliberate intention to withhold dark past from people whom they claim are important to them. I dont understand why they would take so much pains to fabricate phony affections and thrust their helpless victims into a make-believe commitment of love and being together forever, or whatever sort of crap they could think of. I regard such people as purely scums who could only cheat, lie and hide. If i could, I would pack them off to concentration camps where they will be fighting to hide their faces from the light of truth and then be tortured slowly, to pay off their painful debts as hard-breakers.

A malicious proposal to punish liars and heart-breakers?

A B C's TO LIVE BY

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
U
ntil we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high
Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!


The shortest distance between a problem and a solution

is the distance between your knees and the floor.


The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything.

Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.

My "Catch" of the Day


Books that I've gotten from Borders today. Just checked out the price of Jung Chang's recent publication. It cost close to 70 bucks! I'll think hard.. =P The Phantom of The Opera DVD was a surprise gift from Jon. I actually got another CD that has got classical music collection. But left I left it in the car's audio player. Buying things just make me feel so happy! Haha.. Posted by Picasa

Counting Down to Perth Trip

As the weeks went by like a bolt of lightning, I wish I could just hold on tight to this weekend and never let it go. The agenda list for the coming two weeks seem to stretch for at least a yard long. There are so much to be done and yet, even though knowing too well myself that my memory store aint one that has got high storage capacity, I chose to make mental notes instead of putting them down in my neglected PDA. Ahh! My interest in the "toy" that I once longed so much for have worn out- in barely five or six months!

It's not true that I dread the coming school experience where I had to do observations on how teachers conduct classes. In fact, I am looking forward to it. But I just couldnt put my finger on exactly why I have mixed emotions as the day draw nearer. A feeling of dread cos' it signalled that the new semester is starting soon, in about 3 weeks' time. The warning sirens of my weaknesses and inadequacy came pounding hard on me as I imagined how life is going to like in the following week if I cant meet the expectations (if there's any in the first place!).

My Perth trip preparations have been in a mess too! The insurance cover have stated the country region wrongly and I gotta make a call to get them to amend it. There seems like so much to pack as well. The itinery needs to be reviewed and I have yet to follow up with the AUD exchange rate. ArrrGGhhhh! On top of my Perth trip prep, Ive got so much miscellanous stuff to deal with.

I realised that Im really someone who need lots of time alone, taking things slow and easy. Just take this weekend for instance. Jon was on duty and I got the saturday off for myself. My day was wonderful. Spent the whole afternoon watching (and re-winding back to my favourite scenes) Sarah Brightman live concert on DVD. It was a splendid performance. Then, I spent quite a while to do cross-checks on my examination timetable and master timetable. That was tedious... and SILLY!

I spent my Sunday lazing in front of the TV with Jon. And yeah, Im reminiscing the Sarah Brightman DVD! haha.. Then, it was Vortex meeting at 3.30pm. Spent three hours at Borders reading and searching for good bargains. Finally got to utilise part of my $100 gift! I'm really grateful to RuiQiang for this! hee!
