of the

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

crucified to set me free
Tuesday, March 30, 2010

There is no one else for me, none but Jesus.
Crucified to set me free, now i live to bring Him praise.

As Easter is drawing near, it's time to reflect on the sacrifice He paid. No matter how busy we are, how little time we have, God is more important than that. Not saying we shouldn't reflect upon this every day of our lives ofcourse. Even if i had to give up everything i had, i would never give Him up. Because He never gave up on me. Jesus didn't need to die on the cross for our sins. He could've said 'No' to God any step of the way. However He still chose to die for us, because He loved us so much. It's so hard to truly comprehend how big a sacrifice He paid. It's so easy to say, oh yea Jesus died on the cross for us. But we forget what it actually meant. He not only bore the pain, He also bore all our SINS. If He didn't die, we wouldn't be here. He was the only one capable of bearing our sins because He is Holy, blameless, pure and set apart from sinners (Hebrews 7:26). He was God in a different form. There had to be an atonement of sin, because God is a just God. So there was only one way for us to be saved, and that was through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Is that worth living for?
Thursday, March 25, 2010

What do you live for? Loved ones? Friends? Career?

It strikes me to see people who have no will or hope of living, especially young people. It reminds me that unlike them, i know what i'm living for. i don't think i'll be able to carry on everyday if i didn't have a purpose, a goal that i'm living towards. If i didn't have hope, life would be completely aimless. i'm born, i grow up, get married, have kids, die. It's just another cycle. Meaningless.

What is my purpose for living? To Glorify God. The answer's so simple, but do i really understand what it means? i say i want to glorify God in everything i do, but do i do it?

i Hope, because i have many things to look forward to. i know He has a plan and purpose for my life.
i Trust, because He is worthy to be trusted. He promised He will never leave me nor forsake me.
i Love, because He loved me first. Even though i am a sinner, He shed His blood on the cross for me.
i have Faith, because He is so real to me. i believe He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Bumped into Kayna at Social Sciences. Then met with Ellainne for our weekly catch up. After my derivatives tute i met Sharon & Rach for 'lunch' at Chilliz. Whilst at Chilliz i got a call from JZ saying our stocks are doing very well. Bused back home with Rach and bumped into Dianne and Xiao Shi! Then at Bull Creek station bumped into Jason H.Wow it's not everyday that i bump into this many people! (:

Thy Word
Sunday, March 21, 2010

Thy word is a lamp onto my feet
And a light onto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

When I feel afraid
Think I've lost my way
Still You're there right beside me
And nothing will I fear
As long as You are near
Please be near me to the end

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

Now I will not forget Your love for me and yet
My heart forever is wandering
Please be my guide and hold me to Your side
And I will love You to the end

vac work apps - done!

Wooo i've just finished my fourth vac work application! These applications have been long and challenging. They all ask questions about how you show these skills or company values, and require you to write paragraph answers lol. butttt i've finally managed to answer them satisfactorily after lots of prayer! i've applied for the big four - Ernst&Young, PwC, KPMG and Deloitte. Hopefully i can get into one of them, God willing. i guess all i can do now is keep praying (:

and this is life
Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Been quite busy for the past few weeks. Just trying to balance uni, work, youth, online business and personal commitments i guess. Uni is picking up, a few assignments to work on, more like should start working on lol. In charge of a website project for work, currently sourcing information and getting quotes. Youth - we can't expect God to just do His work if we don't put in 110% of our effort. Or any effort for that matter. A friend and i are in the process of starting up our own online clothes business. Still some things to do before we can officially open lol. And personal commitments...i've entered into JP Morgan portfolio competition. We're given 200k to invest in the stock market. Top 10 portfolios get cash prizes. Just entered for the fun of it i guess.

Gosh i can't believe i just slept for 10hours. Was meant to get up early and do some productive stuff ><"

i know that i'll be alright, as long as You are my guide
Thursday, March 11, 2010

Everything's quite a blur at this point in time. i know where i'm headed, but i don't know how i'm getting there. i don't know what or who awaits me in the future. However, i'm not worried at all, because You are my light in this darkness. As long as i have You, i'll be ok. i'm holding onto Your hand and never letting go, because i don't want to be all alone in this darkness. i can't imagine living a day without You. What would my life be like if i didn't know You? Completely different to say the least.

Lord Jesus, without You i am nothing.

raining
Tuesday, March 9, 2010

How i wish it was still raining.
The sky is now cloudless,
so empty that i can see everything clearly.

And this is the last time -
i'm moving forward,
leaving you behind.
Taking my heart with me,
never coming back again.

如果有一天 - 梁静茹

现在也只能欣赏
唯一的合照一张
淡忘了的是那个街角
想念的是当时的微笑

生活中交错失望
越想念就越孤单
若再被寂寞迎头赶上
多感伤原来只是正常

你是不是也在品尝
一个人的咖啡和天光
是不是也忽然察觉到
多出时间看天色的变换

如果有一天我们再见面
时间会不会倒退一点
也许我们都忽略
互相伤害之外的感觉
如果哪一天我们都发现
好聚好散不过是种遮掩
如果我们没发现
就给彼此多一点时间

如果有一天, 我们再见面?

那会是什么样的长影呢?我不想去想。我个人非常讨厌如果这个词,可是 如果呢?

one of those moments

Today i was catching up with Ellainne. She showed me a pic of myself that was on her phone, from 1 year ago. And we were talking about how much i've changed on the outside. Then i remarked: i can change all i want on the outside, now it's time to change the inside too. And right when i was saying this with utter seriousness, Ellainne (right next to me) exclaimed (complete with actions): HALLELUJAH she's finally got it!! It was just so hilarious. We were so in sync. Ok, this is one of those things that you've got to be there to find funny.

i digress, so the point of my post was, you can change however you like on the outside, but the inside is what's most important, and also the hardest to change. i'm still trying very hard. And i pray that the Lord will help me change from the inside out. i guess this is it, time to take another step forward.

wedding gown
Friday, March 5, 2010



i want to design my own wedding gown and get it made in china. i heard it only costs around 100RMB?! O: O: O: O:

this is similar to what i want:



yes, ever since i tried on that Nicola Finetti gown (below),

i've been in love with dresses that are short at the front and long at the back. this kind of dress would be perfect for a garden wedding ceremony (:

now to find a permanent +1 (;

a thousand times i've failed, still Your mercy remains

A thousand times i've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should i stumble again
Still i'm caught in your grace

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Neverending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
my heart and my soul, Lord i give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
in bringing you praise

不了

我不爱你了
我不恨你了
都没感觉了
也就这样了
是陌生人了
