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.

>Your grace has found me just as i am, empty handed but alive in Your hands
>i called, You answered, i wanna be where You are
>i am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow, a wave tossed in the ocean, vapour in the wind. still You hear me when i call out, Lord you catch me when i'm falling and you tell me who i am, i am Yours
>Broken hearts become brand new, that's what faith can do
>A thousand times i've failed, still Your mercy remains. And should i stumble again, still i'm caught in Your grace.
>My heart will sing, no other name, Jesus.
>If i had wings i would fly, coz all that i am, You are. If the world caved in around me, to You i'd still hold on.
>Your light will shine when all else fades
>i'm running to Your arms, i'm running to Your arms. The riches of Your love will always be enough.
>我们不是你和我
>活在第一次的见面里
>只要你一个眼神肯定,我的爱就有意义
>爱转角遇见了谁,是否有爱情的美。爱转角以后的街,能不能有我来陪。
>自由再被绑架之前,我决定过瘾的享受孤单。
>笑着面对每个阻碍,不轻易说离开
>我还记得你笑的像孩子一样
>离开我,你会不会好一点?
>幸福的开始就是放手去爱
>心碎了一地,捡不回从前的心跳
>我会学着放弃你,是因为我太爱你
>you're the only one whose got enough of me to break my heart
>you're the only one i've loved enough to not forget
>Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? i could really use a wish right now
>you're the best thing that's ever been mine
>In a storm, in my best dress, fearless.
>If you're my dream please come true

17.11.09 - Dinner with the girls (Joan&SarahAnn)

This is the first time us three have gone out for dinner together. Partially because none of us could drive at the start of the year. And well, now only Sarahann is still on her Ls ;P I picked Joan up first then went to pick Sarah up. We sat in the car outside Sarah's house for SO long deciding where to eat ><" we flipped through every page of the entertainment book and finally settled with Lebanese Cuisine lol. The restaurant was in Applecross. When we arrived there and looked through the menu (it was placed outside) we were like nah, too expensive XD. So we walked around the Applecross restaurant vicinity many times in search of a nice, but fairly priced place. After much much discussion and thought we finally decided to eat at Noel Cafe. This is what we ordered:

Entree - Vege Beancurd Dumpling things

Main - Spicy Chicken

Huge Sushi

It's nearly as big as Joan's palm!

After dinner we went to Dome

Joan being spaz as usual ;P

Left to right: my Large Latte, Joan's Chai Latte, Sarah's Iced Chocolate

I have NO idea why i ordered a LARGE >_> couldnt sleep until 4am in the morning -_-;; but I have to say, the latte was really good XD

We had a great night together. Must do this more often. And yes, we definitely still need to go on our awesome roadtrip (:

yes and now my LONG overdue food/holiday post starts here...

The Bellhouse Cafe 17.10.09

Photobucket

Weiwei & i came here for my birthday lunch. It's more of a restaurant than a cafe, situated on the South Perth jetty. The scenery was ok. We both ordered the same dish - Seafood something something, gosh i'm bad at remembering dish names ._. but it was the best pasta dish i'd had in a long time! Usually i don't like white sauce pastas but this one was exceptionally good. i especially enjoyed the scallops (:

Dome Cafe 03.11.09

Ellainne and i went to the Dome on Hampden for lunch before my econs exam. It was a good to chill out and stop worrying about the exam, and catch up. I ordered Calamari & Chips and an Iced Coffee:

Ellainne ordered Pizza (new addition to the menu) and Chai Chiller:

Took Be Gi 6.11.09
It was a friday and we'd all had a whole week of exams, so Ivy, Ellainne and i thought it was time we relaxed a bit and enjoy lunch together. ivy and i had just finished an accounting exam - which was worth 80% of the whole semester O: so we were pretty relieved it was over. Although one thing i have to rant about: MY CASH FLOW DIDN'T BALANCE! but thank God it's over!

anyway, we went to Took Be Gi - a very small korean restaurant in the city. The food is really good, especially the pancakes and rice cakes. Ellainne and Ivy both ordered sweet potato noodles and i ordered handmade seafood noodles. i'd never tried these noodles before so thought i'd just give it a shot. i like trying new things haha. The noodles turned out to be ok - the soup was a bit tasteless, due to the dish being non spicy. But there was a fair amount of vegetables which was good (: We also ordered non spicy rice cakes and a vegetable pancake.

Siena's Leederville 11.11.09

After the chinese exam (which was also the end of all our exams!), Cel and i drove (well cel drove lol) to Leederville in search of a nice place for lunch. We walked all the way up Oxford St and down again because we couldn't make up our mind on where to eat ><" both of us were SO hungry so we finally settled for Siena's. Siena's is an italian restaurant and most of the lunch dishes (pastas and pizzas) were around $12 each, which was pretty good. Cel ordered Penne Pollo:

and i ordered Rigatoni something

we both also got LemonLime&Bitters:

We ordered 5 dishes to share between 7 ppl. The quantity was pretty average. Here's what we ordered:

Photobucket
Viet Beef

P's!
Monday, November 9, 2009

guess what? i finally got my P's today! (:
God never ceases to amaze me, coz honestly, i dunno how i even managed to pass the hpt lol. Didn't know what i was doing most of the time XD

God's timing is so perfect. i get my P's just before i start my new job (my 2nd Phase L's was on the new law - had to wait 6 months). And just everything in general, how He pieces everything together so perfectly. 2009 has been a great year. A year of change, new beginnings and many lessons learnt.

Praise the Lord!

power of prayer!
Tuesday, November 3, 2009

So today i had my econs exam. i knew i couldn't do this by myself so i prayed really really hard the past few days. My econs midsem was really bad and i desperately needed to pass the unit. i had already studied quite a bit but was still anxious about the exam. All i could do was trust in God, that He will be my source of strength and wisdom during this time. And yea, the exam turned out well. i don't know how well but let's just leave it at that.

Through my many past failures, i've learnt that i can't do anything on my own strength. However, if i trust in the Lord - and that means, trusting Him with everything, and rely on His strength, everything will turn out ok. He will give you more than you'll ever expect.

Lord i'm sorry that i often only turn to you in the most desperate of situations. This is something that i need to work on. Letting God take control of my life and following His will. For the past few weeks i've been asking God for direction. Even though He answered me, i still wanted more direction, but i found none. The other day, i realised what i was doing wrong. How can i ask for direction when i'm not even near enough to hear His voice? So yea, i'm gonna try really hard to get my spiritual life back on track again.

Trusting in the Lord. Trusting that His timing is perfect. Trusting that there is a time for everything. Trusting that only He knows what's best for me. As for now, 3 more exams to go.
