>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。

Here are some of my past itouch backgrounds....

























i'm turning TWENTY this year. GASP. Just flipped through some old photos of when i was 15/16 and my gosh, they felt just like yesterday. i don't feel very different at all! But somehow i know i've come a long way since then. One of my fav quotes: you don't realise how far you've come, how much has changed, until you look back. When we look back we see clearly the road, the paths, the decisions we've taken/made. And through it all, we see how God had always been there. This is just another one of those moments when i feel old. Well, old in terms of age, but still a kid inside. There's just so much more to learn, so much more to experience. And it's times like these when i don't want to grow up. Kinda contradictory i know but responsibility and commitment aren't to be taken lightly, at all.

Looking forward to the year ahead. It's funny how at the start of the year i was kinda like meh. Most people treat the new year as a new start. i usually do, but this year i didn't. Wasn't really excited about the new year ahead. However now, it feels like alot is gonna happen this year. The start of a new decade, the year when i turn 20, new doors opened, new opportunities.

A new me, in a different way.



Yesterday, i was invited to be a 'model' for a photoshoot at Kailis'. It's a seafood/fish&chips restaurant in Fremantle. My friend works there. They are making a brochure/booklet thing for restaurants in Fremantle harbour and that pic was meant to target asians lol. There were six of us: Melanie (my friend who works there), her sister Isabelle, her little boy cousin, Stacey, Ping and myself. We had to sit at a table wth food and pretend we're having a great time while the professional photographer took pics of us lol. It was kinda weird but we got free food, drinks and desserts at Kailis! It was pretty much like, we could eat anything we wanted, free of charge. There was a seafood platter, which had lobster, oyster and prawns. And a fried food platter with fish and chips, scallops, calamari and mussels. The food was pretty good. However to be frank, i still reckon the fish and chips at Cicerellos is better lol. i also had a double scoop of tiramisu icecream. The girl serving me was like, do you want a double scoop? i wasn't planning to but i said yes anyway LOL. i'm such an asian! Afterwards Stacey, Ping and i just hanged and shopped around Freo. Then me and Ping bused to Garden City whereas Stacey trained to City for a performance practice. i purchased a few things at Garden City, including a Large Boost Juice and a log of hazlenut cake from Miss Mauds for my bro's bday. Man i felt soooooo fat!!

Here are some pics of the day:

i prayed for an answer, and You gave me one. it wasnt the one i personally wanted, but it's what You want. so i'm gonna follow You. one step at a time. a journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. we are placed at a particular place at a particular time for a particular reason. however whatever the reason, my purpose in life is the same, and that is to Glorify Your Name. a lot of things are starting to fall into place now. when we look at our daily lives, we may not understand why all this is happening. but when we look back, we're able to see the bigger picture - the picture that God had already painted for our lives. and how everything, in God's time, is absolutely perfect.


Luella is one of my favourite designers. Her new spring 2010 RTW collection incorporates so many of my favourite things! Such as: bows, pastel colours, polka dots, tulip skirts, hearts and flowers. i am absolutely in love with the pastel blue coat (last pic)!

here are some of my fav pieces from the collection:
