speak to me in light of the dawn

The year is going past so quickly. In eleven days, I'll be jetting off to Japan and then malaysia. It seemed like such a long way away when we first planned this trip.. and we're off to possibly the most exciting holiday I've ever been on .. in a little more than a week! Time passes, to use the oh so true cliche, with a blink of an eye.

By the time we get back, I'll have started my new job at hospital, have training for a week and then start my second year of uni. To be honest, I'm dreading both of them. I know I should be excited about new opportunities etc etc, but I'm really just scared. I'm scared that this will turn out to be the same as last year. I'm scared that I'll fall back into that place of mediocrity.

So on to more happier things.. I bring you all.. photos ! (if you already haven't seen them on facebook xD)
planetshakers crew :D with our new friend fred halbert . (excuse the bad camera quality xDD)


planetshakers band that i still wear XD


melb vs. wellington . the deciding match to see if we make it to the finals .
~kaz patafta~ scored . but jn lost her wallet.


oh and me and suwii camwhored :D


linda's 19th . highlight of the night: dancing to umbrella xD


yeah, we were the hottest asians there .

--

OH and I'm kind of obsessed with Super Mario Galaxy xD woohoo I have 12 stars :D

Also, chick flicks ftw. So recently I've watched.. Enchanted, Ps. I love you, 27 dresses & atonement. All very highly recommended. I love a good movie.

caught up .

I've been really challenged of late to ask of more, seek of more and to attempt for more from God. He really is all that you need. I want Him to work in my life, so the world can see His glory. I don't just want to be another 'nice' christian girl. I want to see His awesome power in my life, and others to see Him for all He is.

More than that, I want to feel Him in the silent moments, where its only me and Him. Not just at awesome conferences, or with crazy loud music. But in the stillness, where no feelings or emotions can heighten any sensation, where you can truly know that He is God.

I want to be Caught UP.

hello starshine, its 2008 !

A week into 2008, and so far.. its been pretty awesome :D A taste of greater things to come !

Planetshakers Conference hit Melbourne and whoaa .. what a week of awesome worship & preaching !! (and terribly painful feet from jumping like crazy XD) I've learnt so much, and am determined not to let this year slip by without putting these things into practice .

I'm so pumped for tyouth/C6H1206/toast this year ! i deeply believe that this year is gonna see great things from God . I'm claiming that promise of the 'double portion' , as numerous as the stars in the sky. We all have to do our bit though, we have to be hungry for God's works.. humble ourselves and He will come and heal our land !!

Oh, and Pastor Judah Smith is pretty much great . I've downloaded his podcasts & listened to like 4 sermons today XD I don't think I've ever had so much preaching in one day XD but its SO good .

Anyway, I'm just really excited about this year.. hopefully you've caught a bit of that from this post :D I'm saying Byebyebye to the crap year that was 2007 and pressing onwards and forwards into 2008 ! bring it on ! :D


Eight random things about me

1. I have a conical flask on my bedside table that I 'borrowed' from the chemlabs on the last day of school . I miss chemistry class terribly .

2. I have a special set of cutley that I use at home, I used to refuse to eat unless I had my special spoon & fork .. what a spoilt child -______-''

3. The thought of me turning 20 next year freaks the ..freaks out of me, I don't think I'm anywhere close to the person I thought I would be at 20 .

4. I've always wanted to cut my hair really short at least once in my life, but am too self-conscious to break the 'long hair is pretty' trend .

5. I've always had a phobia of phonecalls, especially of calling 'professional' people (meaning banks or future employers etcetc)

7. I nearly always get a twin sausage bun from Breadtop, and then another bun that I've never tried .. It's kinda a life-ambition to try every single bun in breadtop .

8. I've kind of tried not to write about boys in my blog.. but it isn't really working cause I think I'm falling..



Now how's that for suspense ey ?


(yes maria, that update was just for you :D i love you <3 )
