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.

>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

>A thousand times i've failed, still Your mercy remains. And should i stumble again, still i'm caught in Your grace.

Another year has passed. So much has happened, so many changes. i thank God for every single thing that i have experienced this year. thank You for so many opportunities, so many open doors. Also thankyou to all those people in my life, each and every one of you. You have certainly made this year wonderful and memorable.

2009: a year of change

i have a feeling 2010 won't be a year of as much change, but more of deepening and building relationships. Looking forward to the new year ahead.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

p.s. hopefully i'll find time to blog more frequently and meaningfully.

craziest boxing day ever. didnt know perth shoppers could be this crazy. myer opened at 10am today. when i clocked in at 9.50am, there was already a hoard of people waiting outside the doors to get in. what a scary sight lol. i was assigned to be in the fitting rooms all day (thank God). the fitting room i was in had 3 entries S: it gets confusing to know which customer goes next. so i ended up going in anticlockwise order. the line was also massive. this was the most people i've ever seen in a retail store in perth, ever.

i ♥ stocktake sales



one word, Avatar=magical.
nuff said



urgh i wanna shop at H&M! ):
the only h&m i've been to was one in china. it was awesome!
urgh that makes me miss china more ):
Perth doesnt have starbucks or krispy kremes or h&m or topshop or forever21
*bigsadface*
H&M outfit:




The new Bardot store on Hay St Mall is a must stop whenever i'm shopping in the city. i absolutely love Bardot stuff. So far i've bought 2 dresses, 1 top and 1 skirt from that store. The other day when i was there, i really liked this jumpsuit:



It was only $40. However my very supportive friends said the jumpsuit looked weird ): so i didnt end up buying it. i bought the peach dress tho (the one hanging on the wall). Here's what it looks like on:





i really miss china
this morning i was looking through the photos from my 08-09 china trip. ahhh all the memories and good times.

i miss:
the smell of china, which may sound weird but china has a special smell to me;
the atmosphere - grey skies, chinese people everywhere, cars everywhere, the busyness of a huge city;
the food - eating anything and everything we felt like just coz we could afford it;
bargaining with old lady shop owners and later walking out of the shop still feeling ripped off, even tho after currency conversion the item was cheap as;
the SHOPPING ('nuff said).

i wanna be there NOW.
seriously considering booking a flight there early Feb. the problem is money and work ._. we'll see what happens. i've still got a mandurah and melbourne trip waiting for me late Jan.

My plan is to forgive & forget. Forgive myself for being stupid, and forget you ever existed.

People say hate is a strong word, but so is love, and people throw that around like it's nothing.

There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. I wouldn’t expect you to understand that, or even believe it.. but trust me, there are some loves that don’t go away. And maybe that makes them crazy.. but we all should be lucky enough to end up with somebody who has a little of that insanity, someone who never lets go, someone who cherishes you forever.

Worry about your character not your reputation,
because your character is who you really are,
and your reputation is simply what others think of you.

A dream is just a dream until you make it come true And love is just a word until it's proven to you.

No wonder why all this Christmas festivity seems so unfamiliar - i havent been around for Christmas in 2 years! The past two years i've spent Christmas in China, which isn't really very festive. i've forgotten what it's like to sing Christmas carols, have a Christmas tree at home, send Christmas cards and buy Christmas gifts. Someone asked me the other day, 'have you done your Christmas shopping?' i thought to myself, Christmas shopping? What Christmas shopping? oh THAT Christmas shopping. *snap*



i've bought a lot of crap off ebay ever since i've opened an account. However, i've been disappointed with most of my buys. i've bought dresses, skirts, bags and shoes. Some of them are from china/hongkong sellers and its either: 1)the quality is crap; 2)the item isn't the same as the picture. This is really frustrating. The other day i bought a hot pink layered dress. When i received the dress, i realised there were only layers on the front! The ebay listing only had a picture front on. And i automatically assumed the back would be layered too. That was an utter disappointment. It was partially my fault for not asking but seriously, the seller should state that?! Would that be considered false advertising - omission of important info >_>

Well yea, so i have decided to halt my ebay purchases for the time being. It's so much more reliable to buy in person. There are also lots of good sales atm. I would rather buy good quality branded items for a higher price.

I might take a pic of all my ebay purchases when all the items have arrived. Still waiting for 4 things ><





It's been a while since i've had a proper update...

For the past two weeks just been working nearly everyday. Took the weekend off and went down with Joan to AMYC(Annual Methodist Youth Convention) for a day on Monday. Went gymming once and aerobics once the week after exams ended. Really should go again, but work is quite tiring. Nearly everyone is overseas/interstate atm ): wish i was on holiday too. Really feel like shopping but i've (kinda) promised myself i won't go shopping until Sharon comes back. Which, i've already broken because i bought a dress off ebay yesterday and also a dress today (for $3 at Live!) so i guess it doesnt really count (: The dress i got at Live was originally $40, and they had a sale of 30% off. I also had a $25 voucher so i only paid $3 for it! Good bargain (: But man working at Garden City is such a temptation. i feel like browsing through all the shops before and after work and even on my breaks ><



人也许会变
因为经过了时间
聚和散之间
学会了收藏依恋
偶尔想起你的脸
还嗅到淡淡的伤悲

你好吗快乐吗
当你闭上眼
什么感觉
梦里面什么画面
是否偶尔也想起从前

我们都发现
爱只是一种试炼
热烈爱过了
然后又回到原点
往往心中最爱的那个人
最后却离自己最远

你好吗快乐嘛
当你闭上眼什么感觉
梦里面什么画面
是否偶尔也想起从前

为何在爱的人面前
太骄傲不肯说抱歉
一直到了抵挡不过想念
才开始后悔心碎

你好吗快乐嘛
当你闭上眼什么感觉
梦里面什么画面
是否偶尔偶尔也想起从前

你好吗想我吗
当我闭上眼还想流泪
这些年问自己千万遍
要到那一天
心才肯对你说再见

人也许会变
因为经过了时间
