FUNNY experience
I thought i needed to post this out. haha
When coming to Australia, I was anxious about the culture here. Hmm.. maybe in terms of the lifestyle, food??, socialize.
Well, this is one good example of experience in this predicament that i faced in.
Any australians in the shop or whatever will greet you " Hey, how are you? How is it going?" and normal people would reply to that question by answering i'm good or whatever. This is where i was mortified. Me and my sisters went to this perfume shop to buy something. Then, the sales lady ask that normal formal greeting to me. AND ALL OUT OF THE SUDDEN, i replied to them yeaaaa. And you know what, everyone laughs.LOL. I was so ughhhhhh. haha. even my sisters laugh. BADD..haha.
Anyway i felt that it was culture that i need to fit in. Sometimes when they asked, i smiled.haha
Watched Avenue Q at QPAC. Back to business again. Life goes on.
Read Proverbs 4. 23
"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."

The Power of Asking
Going overseas may be seen as an opportunity to further your studies but before you even think about going overseas to study or even locally. i just ask my self what is my main goal and reason to study??
Sometimes i laughed at myself looking at what state i am in right now or what am i doing here right now?haha apa maciam lahh
The one important lesson i learned is that to question myself that does God care about my education? well if i have my faith and trust on what i'm doing right now,oh yeaa God does care about my education.
Well, talk is simple though. It takes strength to be persistent on to committing into my studies and to resist all kinds of temptations in order to stay at the right track.
For me, the Word and prayer is the utmost important thing to keep a relationship with God
" For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
Today i have an intimidating experience to share.
I've been going to my uni with the bus near to the place i stay. So i often used the same bus to go to my uni, it takes me 45 minutes to reach there excluding the waiting process. Well, i need to use basically two buses to actually get there. I was pretty amazed by the buses. They were quite punctual. So, to get back to my house, it was the same going there process. But today was quite unusual. I literally took a diiferent bus just to explore because the waiting bus for my current one was too long. So, me hop into it and taaaadahhh.. i was so happy because it took a while to reach to my place. BUT.The bus suddenly turn into a different route. I panicked. YET, i din asked the driver to stop. So, the bus took off. Then i saw a familiar landmark, COLES. I got down fom the bus and taaadahh, it was not the COLES near to my place. (my sister says that COLES is everywhere.LOL) I panicked. YET, i din asked the driver where was this place before i got down from the bus. I really panicked. So, i walked finding for familiar landmarks and that time it was so dark. I wanted to ask people for direction but i did not. So, i kept on running and scared at the same time. YET, i still didn't ask for direction. My sister called. She called me to ask for direction. So, i asked for direction.(dumb la me). Once i asked for directions. I was relieved because at least i know where am i. So i walked back based on the directions that i asked. It took me more than 30 minutes to reach home and at the same time, i was so scared because the route i took to go back home was so dark. It was like having a sombre mood. Not nice at all
nah..
while i was walking back home, i thought of something really important which is the power of asking. I can relate this into so many aspects in my life especially in studies. Well, we students often shy asking but consequences may be ugly at the end. I just cannot comprehend why i did not ask the driver or the people around. Shyness perhaps. So, to all students> Cleaf Off Your Doubts=)
"Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
simple verse heh. YET, i'm so weak that i can't even comply but today and now through this experience i am refreshed anew by your holy spirit. Amen =)
I thank God really=D
