God is multilingual - and so I read.
He speaks to us in different ways, He touches our hearts in different ways, He leads us each to different paths, paths which we walk and if we choose to follow, may one day chris cross one another and hopefully eventually with with Him.
As I grow up, I begin to discover the ways in which He chooses to speak to me.
I am an imaginative person - perhaps sometimes I like to think that I am artistic, even creative. I like to draw out meanings from events that may not have any meanings in them. We shall see.
The bible study group has been sharing with one another how we should repent and seek forgiveness in Christ. We encourage each other along this path, that it is common (so don't worry too much) for us to say "This is the last time (to this sin)" and yet a few days, even moments later, to return and think "Just one more time".
I have once taken this for granted. I have reached a point whereby I think, "So what (if I sin again)? Jesus will forgive me anyway." I was at that stage for quite a while. Thus sin took its hold and never let go; for myself, there was always "the last time". Then for a while I began to grow afraid. Frightened. Tremble. I grew scared, not because of my sins. Because I found myself already numbed. Numb to the core I give no second thoughts to sin. And one day (recently) I decided that it was too much for the Lord to bear. I can't even control myself, I can't even forgive myself. I don't even feel a thing.
I listen to my iPod and then I went to sleep.
I woke up to the sound of my iPod that dropped to the ground. "Oh man!"
I washed up and returned to tidy up my bed. I forgot that I had left the iPod on the bed and it dropped again. "ArGh!". What a horrible start to a horrible day. I can't forgive myself and now even my iPod wants to play tricks on me. Oh well, at least it was still working.
What a start - the outside at least was a weather cool, not too bad for a walk to school. I bend to fix my shoe laces. I had put the iPod in the jacket and as I bent it dropped onto the floor. "What the...!"
3 times in a row. I grew extremely frustrated. Angry. For what? For dropping my iPod 3 times in less than 10 minutes.
And suddenly I remembered. It trickled upon me. Peter had denied Jesus 3 times before.
I remembered something I heard - "Simon Peter in fact is not very much different from Judas - they both betrayed Jesus......" And again I recalled, "but you see, what's the difference between them? Well, For Judas, after he betrayed Jesus, he hanged himself and did not seek repentence. For Peter, he sought forgiveness and by grace was forgiven. He then went on to be a great man."
What was I to learn from this iPod? Something regarding forgiveness? I am forgiven not because of what I've done or what I'll do. I am forgiven because of that the Lord has so ever wished so.
The day started to look bright. I am able to stand firm again. How great the grace - that has saved a wretch like me. I bath myself in the Lord's forgiveness and love, I come to accept His gift.
The iPod still works. The wonder of iPod mini - I played my 2 favourite songs as I set off to school....
I Won't Be Lost - Fallen 3 times in a row waking up with vertigo but You were there to break my fall before I had to face it all Don't let me go Don't let me go
Don't you give up on me..
Shiver - I walk a mile with a smile I don't know I don't care where I am but I know it's alright Jump the tracks can't get back I don't know anyone around here but I'm safe this time
Cos with You I'm running running running somewhere I can't get to yes I have to have to have to change the rules
I'm with You...
God is good, God is love, and so I know.

How strange it is
It is strange now when I blog.
I used to enjoy blogging. Now I find blogging a strange thing to do.
I dislike blogging now, not that I'd lost my passion for it, but because I find it a restraining thing to do now. I find it awkward to share my life on this public space of the internet.
That is why for a long time I have written nothing, except for the ocassional update of where did I go, what did I cooked etc. I don't like writing those. Of course I can reminisce the good times I've had here in Sydney. But I like blogging about other things. Things that I think about, how I feel. Strange.
I'm sorry I haven't updated much on this blog after coming here to Sydney. Surely there are many things that I've been through. Surely I think and I feel. But just too bad that I'm feeling so many pairs of eyes looking pass my lenses. I'm sorry but there are people whom if I know are reading this would make me feel awkward. But the blog is a public space afterall.
So tell me, what can I do?

More photos!
Hey people! Haha, thought I'd put some more pictures here! Just got them from my friend. Hehe. Lets see...
There were the cows...
And we love playing volleyball with them. ;)
Jump!! We beat the cows!!!
This was the 2nd night when we had the 2nd extremely exciting and intriguing game - the SIMS missionary. A few people were acting as missionaries overseas and we were suppose to 'take care' of them - buy them stuff, write email and letters to them etc etc... Look how everyone is so excited!
This is EVERYONE who went to the church camp!
This is just the ESF (English Speaking Fellowship) group.
We had so much snacks at the camp we couldn't finish them! So we decided on the last night during group time to sit together and talk *munch* talk *munch* away.
Apparently there was so much snacks that we couldn't finish them just when talking along, so we played this game called polar bear! Haha..I remember how I used to play it with my cousins, man it's so fun! Then after a few rounds in the dining area, we got 'chased out' by the staff because it was late and they were gonna close the place. Haha. And we thought we were making too much noise cos it was so fun! Well, after chaseout at 12.30am, guess what, we still didn't want to sleep so we went downstairs and continued playing. This time a upgrade of polar bear- MAFIA. Woohoo, was very exciting, lest the fact that my group always suspect I am the killer in the first round, so for the first 2 games I was 'down' after first round -_-. But on the 3rd game I simply said,"Please just let me play this game..!!" Haha.. And so the night went on...Mafia... OOOooooooo....
Oh well, there you go. I'm going off now! See you!
