M is for Monica. i'm a full time commerce student @ UWA. i turn one year older on the 14th Oct. i ♥ Jesus and not afraid to tell the world. i want to do YWAM and missions in the future. i love heights - planes, skyscrapers, mountains, cliffs, you name it. One day i hope to go bungee jumping and sky diving. i was born in China but have lived in Australia most of my life. Having said that, i'm still quite chinese lol. i like pink things, ribbons, bows, hearts, hello kitty, ruffles, lace, florals. i have a shoe fetish. i wouldn't call myself a shopaholic, although most of my friends would say otherwise. People often see me as strong, independent, ambitious. i thank God for the past 21 years that i've been alive. He has been ever faithful, gracious and loving.

one of my all time favourite songs from Fish Leong:
可惜不是你
Unfortunately You Weren't the One

这一刻突然觉得好熟悉/This moment suddenly seems so familiar
像昨天今天同时在放映/seems like yesterday and today showing at the same time
我这句语气原来好像你/actually this way of speaking sounds like you
不就是我们爱过的证据/isn't this the evidence of the love we once had

差一点骗了自己骗了你/Nearly lied to myself and to you
爱与被爱不一定成正比/love and being loved isn't necessarily proportional
我知道被疼是一种运气/i know that being loved is a form of luck
但我无法完全交出自己/but i just can't seem to give all of myself

努力为你改变却变不了/tried hard to change for you, but was unable to change
预留的伏笔/the end that was to come
以为在你身边那也算永远/i thought being by your side also meant forever
仿佛还是昨天/still seems like yesterday
可是昨天已非常遥远/but yesterday is already very far away
但闭上双眼我还看得见/but i can still see it when i close my eyes

可惜不是你陪我到最后/Unfortunately you weren't the one to accompany me till the end
曾一起走却走失那路口/used to walk together but lost our way
感谢那是你牵过我的手/Thankyou for being the one who once held my hand
还能感受那温柔/i can still feel that gentleness

那一段我们曾心贴着心/we used to be heart to heart
我想我更有权力关心你/i thought i had more right to care for you
可能你已走进别人风景/maybe you have already walked into another's scenery
多希望也有星光的投影/really hope there is also the projected light of stars

努力为你改变却变不了/tried hard to change for you, but was unable to change
预留的伏笔/the end that was to come
以为在你身边那也算永远/i thought being by your side also meant forever
仿佛还是昨天/still seems like yesterday
可是昨天已非常遥远/but yesterday is already very far away
但闭上双眼我还看得见/but i can still see it when i close my eyes

可惜不是你陪我到最后/Unfortunately you weren't the one to accompany me till the end
曾一起走却走失那路口/used to walk together but lost our way
感谢那是你牵过我的手/Thankyou for being the one who once held my hand
还能感受那温柔/i can still feel that gentleness
可惜不是你陪我到最后/Unfortunately you weren't the one to accompany me till the end
曾一起走却走失那路口/used to walk together but lost our way

感谢那是你牵过我的手/Thankyou for being the one who once held my hand

还能温暖我胸口/it still warms my heart

my blog, my life - God's way; M

Lord, when i was looking for direction, you gave an answer. You answered my prayers in a way that i didnt expect. i find that alot of the times when you stop worrying about your troubles and everything, God will surprise you when you least expect it. anything can happen. anything is possible with Him.

now its 14th oct 2009 9.55am
i was born exactly 19 years and 1 hour ago



i found my yr12 leavers memories book by chance the other day. i read through it and found a really good little poem story that ellainne pasted into my book:

Heaven's Grocery Store

i was walking down life's highway a long time ago,
one day i saw a sign that read 'Heaven's Grocery Store'.
As i got a little closer, the door came open wide,
and when i came to myself i was standing inside.

i saw a host of angels. They were standing everywhere.
One handed me a basket and said, 'my child, shop with care.'
Everything a Christian needed was in the grocery store,
And if you couldn't carry them, you could come back for more.

First i got some patience. Love was in the same row.
Farther down was understanding, you need that everywhere you go.
i got a box or two of wisdom. A bag or two of faith.
i couldn't miss the Holy Ghost, for He was all over the place.
i stopped to get some strength and courage to help me run the race,
and though my basket was getting full, i remembered to get some grace.

i didn't forget salvation, for salvation, that was free,
so i tried to get enough, to save both you and me.
Then i started up the counter to pay the grocery bill,
for i thought i had everything to do my master's will.

As i went up the aisle, i saw prayer and i just had to put that in,
for i knew when i stepped outside, i would run into sin.
Peace and joy were plentiful, they were on the last shelf.
Song and praises were hanging near so i just helped myself.

Then i said to the angel, now how much do i owe?
He just smiled and said, 'just take them everywhere you go.'
Again i smiled at him and said, how much do i really owe?
The angel smiled again and said,
'my child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago.'





a little recap of Jon's sharing on sat: we do all things for the glory of God alone. not because we are forced to, not because of our own merits, nor to get into Heaven. it is entirely because of Him and for Him. we do all this because of God's love, grace and mercy. without Him, we are nothing.



i can completely change my hairstyle, get new glasses, change my dressing style, lose weight and straighten my teeth. change is so easy on the outside, but it doesnt change who i really am. it is 100 times harder to change your inner self. and that requires God's help.

even if i run and hide in the furtherest corner of this earth, You can still find me. You see everything i do. You know me better than i know myself.

2009: a year of change.



next time i go to china, i vow, i will buy many many many pairs of shoes/heels/flats/boots!!!!

i really need a new summer wardrobe! ): very into accessories atm O: addicted to buying things off ebay HAHA



we are like birds in a cage. the door of the cage has always been open, however we are the ones who chose not to step out of it. and sometimes, it requires Jesus to personally knock down the walls of the cage to make us realise we are already free. the price has already been paid for on the cross. there is nothing we can do to make us 'more' saved. take that chance, step out, and live the life you were meant to live.

change.

p.s i cut my hair really short. and also dyed it, but you cant really see the colour ):
