Can i reach the star ?

First of all , i wanna thank God for giving me the strength & power last night .

I started work in the morning , came home for an hour sleep , then resume afternoon shift again .

After that , went to gym for 2 hours & ran/walk for half an hour (4.45km) .

How is that AMAZED!!!

I wonder am i eating enough ?

Anywhere , I'm going to join the Westpac Stair Climb on the 08 Oct '10 .

It is the highest building in the state ,

30 floors & 135m !!!

This is a very great opportunity to challenge myself ,

& whoever finish the race/walk , can view adelaide city from the tallest building .

This is a fundraiser for children's cancer .

I don't know if i can finish the race with the limited stamina i have ,

for now , i just want to train myself .

This afternoon , going to the Westpac House & have a try , see if i can make it !

Wish me luck !!!

A note for Florence

This is a 'Thank you' post to Florence Tan ,

who she had written a testimony about me in her blog .

Hey do you know that was the first time people talk good about me ?

Well , i admit i'm a funny person , but kind ??!!

Since Florence has written me a good testimony , then guess this is a pay-back to her .

Florence Tan ,

I knew this random girl few years ago in Adelaide .

She always wrote great things about what God did for her which made her a successful EN .

She work very hard to achieved her goal ,

it's good to know her !

Well Flo , no doubt that i was born in a Christian family ,

my family & relatives go to the Catholic church in Kuching .

They taught me to go to church regularly as a Christian .

Always love & serve God .

& now i want to shout to the whole world that i did it , in FAITH !

A note for Florence :

Thanks for what you have wrote about me . VERY MUCH APPRECIATED !

This is what God want His children to do

'Love your friends'

(part 2)

As mentioned, i joined the gym on Friday .

Ever since that day , i am very keen to go to the gym everyday . haha...

I was very tired , exhausted after first day of exercise in gym .

Muscle sore in my arms & both legs , but after 3 days , i couldn't feel anything , i felt more alive instead , which is a good thing =)

Great thing happen on Sat night in Paradise Community Church .

It was Hillsong United concert !

Such a meaningful concert only A$10 .

They (i think a group of 9 ) came all the way from Sydney .

Most of their presented song during the night was from 'Faith+Hope+Love' album .

I could imagine the crowd , those young teenage were screaming , shouting for them , include me as well =)

Now it's time to go to class =]

(part 1)

Hi blog :

I know i should give you some love by writing something on your wall .

Now just before i head off to bed ,

im just going to write about things that happen to me these few days !

I think i am starting to build a very strong & close relationship with God , our heavenly Father .

I have to admit sometimes i'm kind of lazy to wake up early then go to church .

Ever since Jee came back in July , we started going to Paradise Church every Fri night & Sun service . Somehow there is a very strong attraction which attract me to go to church every Fri & Sun, without missing ! At first , i love the music (the way they present their song & praise God), some people may not like it . After that , weeks by weeks i started realised that God is in my heart , & i am willing to give my time , strength & soul to God ! There is a strong powerful connection between Us which i can't explain in words . & with that strong connection , i am happy with my life & that's why i ended up joining gym .Maybe there's a message from God, that i must keep fit & healthy because i'm still young ?!

So i joined Jetts in Newton , & it's only A$17.95 per fortnight , membership fee A$104 WITHOUT ANY CONTRACT !!!

To be continue ...

I'm 21st

I had an awesome 21st birthday party with my close friends on Monday night !

It really was GREAT GREAT GREAT with you guys, i have to say .

Without them , my 21st b'day in my entire life won't be memorable .

Thanks a lot guys , for those awesome presents , wishes & your presence in my life .

& also thanks for those b'day wishes in my Facebook ,

i wish i could have the time to reply ALL your messages in my Facebook wall .

In short , THANKS A LOT !

For my 21st party , i really hope i could invite everyone i know since young ,

including my beloved friends in Sibu & Kuching ,

even my close relatives .

I will invite as much people as i can , if only i can afford .


More photos can be found in my Facebook .
Night guys =))

Mama is cooking !

I had a sort of 'cooking class' from Christina this evening .

She taught me a few simple dishes .

The very first dish : LAKSA !

Can't describe how great & awesome was that dish ,

(sorry guys ,im not good in describing things )

but it cannot compare to the one i used to eat in Kuching .

I found that cooking wasn't that hard as i thought .

I just need some idea of what to cook , THAT'S IT !

Can't wait to celebrate my 21st with friends on Monday night !

Went to China Town Market this morning & I bought 2kgs of chicken wings for $4.90 , 2 packs of sausages $3.48 each , soft drinks $1.19 each .

Actually my plan was to invite 21 guests to my party .

Now only 14 on the list at the moment .

This shows that i only have this much of close friends in Adelaide after 3 years here ?

Im afraid not because some of them have work , late class etc ,

that is why i set the party to Monday instead of weekends .

My birthday cake this year would be special, i think !

You know sometimes when people come to your b'day party & they give excuses of not eating your cake ? They could just leave the piece of cake on the party table & walk away .

In my party, this is what i hate the most - NOT EATING MY B'DAY CAKE !

This year, i request Jane to make a very special b'day cake for me.

It features 21 cup cakes !

This is so that every guests must eat my birthday cake . haha..

I think should write everyone's name on it so i know who is not eating !

Melb babe

Everything stays well .
Trip to Melbourne was awesome .
Did not shop much this time ,
i was expecting more Guess / CK !
During this trip , i get to know some new friends ,
these included Wayne C. , Sean C. & Brian C.
They really brought us fun & cheers .
We celebrated Wayne's 21st birthday on our last night in Melb .
We had steam boat .
Here are some of the photos :

Helping auntie cooking crab

I am currently watching this American comedy-musical drama --Glee !
It's a great drama because it's all about MUSIC like High School Musical .

Just a little note for today #2

Heard that my dear cousin, Dorothy is back in Kuching .
How could you... ...
Anw , im waiting for tomorrow to come .
it's my trip with Esther to Melbourne, baby !!!
Guess i won't be blogging until im back on Mon ^^

I survived this weekDAYS and weekENDs ,
i filled most of the days last week with busy work .
i thought i could take a day or two days off,
but when i thought of my holiday in Melbourne
i can't stop working and picking up shifts .

Workplace job is getting tougher than before .
2 residents had past away this month
and now we have 2 beds empty .
This is not a joke !
St. George get together staff dinner on 5June ,
should i go ?

21 the BIG thing

Turning 21 is a monumental event, and should be celebrated accordingly.
At 21, i'm officially an adult and legal to consume alcohol .
The important thing is that i have fun and celebrate safely, among family and friends .
Wow ! The first thing that strict me is to THROW A PARTY !!!
Think about where i would like the party to be at before making out the invitations .
Call everyone i know and remind them that 18 August is the big day and no excuse will be accepted for failure to appear .
Make a wish .

Celebration with my own family will be great .
Either at a favorite restaurant, or maybe they will each bring a dish to someones house .
The best part of dinning at a restaurant is no one has to cook or clean up .
Dinning at a relatives is nice,especially if everyone brings something.

Get a little wild and loose (and don't want to do so in front of family),
invite friends to a favorite night spot.
Dinning, drinking and dancing can be a great time when done responsibly .
Dancing is not my type ?
Try a karaoke nightclub, concert, comedy club, play, a movie(and dinner) with friends .
it's just girls night out !

If i've got the money, plan a real getaway.
For a day,a weekend, a week, whatever.
It doesn't even have to be out of state,maybe a nearby spa treatment with just a couple of close girlfriends.
Maybe there is a nearby outlet mall i've always wanted to visit.
Visit places I never been before, travel can be great .

W-O-W this could be a BIG thing - 21
i'm really looking forward for it .
cheers everyone

KK trip !

Dear friends :

I'm doing fine here in Kuching .
& for your information ,
im spending my precious holiday with my lovely family in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah .
We woke up early in the morning to go to the very famous Mount Kinabalu .
The taxi driver drove us all the way there & back ,
it took rm250 !!!
anw , i did managed to climb as far as 0.5km .
that wasn't too bad .

*photos will be updated soon . Stay tune !

Im hoping to go back to Adelaide asap to help J with his visa .
i really hope that he could stay with me in Adelaide
if not i will be alone .


I think i will only continue to blog until i get back to Adelaide ,
cause the internet in my house is freaking slow and lag .
i hate the feeling of waiting .

im feeling good

I'm starting to miss my fellow friends in Adelaide now .
and someone is always on my mind every now and then .

Today the 14th Feb 2010 ,
here come the Valentine's and Chinese New Year .
i think most of us has forgotten that today you are suppose to be with your valentine .
seriously this 2 most important days SHOULD NOT be happening at the same day/time .


anw , im fully truly looking forward for my family trip to Sabah on Tuesday .
it has been quite a while since we last went for a vacation together .
see , i could even hardly remember when was that .

Kuc'ing

Finally im back in Kuching !
a place where you can find the cheap & delicious food .
but one thing i do not like is the traffic & the polluted air .
it really drives you crazy when there are traffic jam every single street because of this CNY season .
everyone are doing their last minute shopping .


I can hardly sign into Cafe World nowadays .
i should just stop playing until i get back to ADL .
the internet line is getting nuts than before .


Yes im back into a place where they are many crazy drivers !
they parked anywhere , everywhere they intended to .


Anw everynone is waiting for the day to come .
the day where we get the red packet .
=)

Greating season

I'm getting myself ready for the coming CNY !
im just that desperate for the celebration .
People , just bear with me !


Just bought 2 dresses from valleygirl and Temp !
im loving those dresses in valleygirl .
it's cheap though .
i can't wait to wear it NOW .
( no pictures for the dresses as it will be worn during CNY ^^ )



This is gonna be my 3rd ipod after ipod shuffle & ipod touch !
Someone can have my ipod touch ^^

Happy summer holiday

Can't believe Jan 2010 is coming to an end .
Australia day is over .
16 more days until Chinese New Year .
This is an update for what's happening over the last 2 days .

25th Jan - Dinner / small gathering at Ivy's place .
As in my previous post i did mention .


Then late at night ,
a birthday surprise for Mr. Jee ,
and YAY he is now , FINALLY 21 .
He can have a key ( freedom ) .
I'm waiting for mine too !
OMG is this a hint or something ?
Anw i have a message for him :


26th Jan : Hahndorf trip
This year , we decided to take the bus and head off to Adelaide Hills , Hahndorf .
It took us roughly 45 mins to reach our destination .
We had lunch at German Arms Hotel .


As soon as we walk out , there were a pair of horses caught our attention !
Many of us suggested to take a 'horse ride' ,
and we did !
It was actually 20 bucks per person ( for adult ) ,
but they gave us a special price for just 100 bucks for 7 person .
Awesome so we hoop into it .


The horses took us to the well known strawberry farm !
I HAVE NEVER SEE OR EVEN STEP INTO A STRAWBERRY FARM BEFORE
in my entire life !



Allright , it was A$3 per person for entry ,
and they give you a small plastic container to collect your strawberry ,
and at the end before leaving the farm ,
you gonna pay A$9 ( per kg ) , i think , for the strawberry you have collected !
Those little strawberry although they look small ,
but it was so sweet ,
so that's why it was worth a visit !

On the way . . .
