Photos

Life have been pretty interesting this few weeks. I have begun my work experience at a prawn farm in Singapore. Yes... I think many of you might be quite surprised to know that such a farm actually exists in our puny island. Next, you might be wondering how they ever survive.. Well.. that's a confidential issue and I wouldn't go there. :)

All in all, I am really grateful that I am able to find such a treasure back here. Things are starting to come into picture as why I had been rejected by the previous companies such as St John Island (which is subsidary of AVA) and Light house Pte Ltd (Oyster farm, located North of Pulau Tekong). Somehow, all these had come as part of God's great plan for me. I would have missed out on all these blessings if I had insisted on my way.

Anyway, here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.

Christmas party

Here are some photos taken during our Youth Christmas party last season.

First, we have Mr "Act-Cool".. (that's what Stephy called him)




Next... we have Mr Beautiful Eyes... All of us agree that this little boy has nice eyes; eyes that can talk..... I feel like typing in Han Yu Ping ying, but 2nd thought, better not. LOL!

Old Christmas photos

Christmas party at Alison's place... hahaha. I wonder why I am so bold to flash my chest last time..
Hahahaha.. * Notice the tattoo.. and the cleavage.. LOl!

Bicheno

Here are some expired photos that I had taken during my work experience at Bicheno.
There are pure, unadulterated photos hor.. not photoshopped.. Hahaha..
I have chosen to put the photos in "Ryan's style". Hahhaa.. And Yes.. I have changed my blogskin...




So when you guys think I am tall.. Look at my colleagues.. Only the French guy is slightly shorter than me.. Apart from that.. they reign up there..









Yeah.. I caught the squids. Pretty creatures I must say..They change from red to white in matter of seconds, once laid on the jetty floor.
They were my main source of protein for the 2 weeks in Bicheno. .

Jowena and me

I found this photo in one of the old folders.. hehehe. Its a shot of me and Jowena after christmas party in Calvary. Really enjoyed those times.... If I didn't remember it wrongly, it is taken at Jowena's previous house.

Life in Singapore

I haven't been updating recently ever since I am back in Singapore. Its definitely not because I am too busy to update or anything.. But rather because there aren't much things to blog about in Singapore. Most of the time, I've been catching up with friends, looking for work experience and watching VCDs. Well...not exactly, but there are really many interesting things to blog about. Ok....
Here's abit of what I did today.. e.g.

1. Wake up..
2. Watch abit of drama.
3. 12:30pm. Proceed to Pasir ris for lunch.
4. 1:00pm. Took a cab into Pasir Ris farmway 2.
5. Discovered that it is farmway 1.
6. Re-enroute to farmway 1.
7. Waited for Mr Tay till 1pm; was informed by his secretary that he will
be back by 1.45pm.
8. Waited at the prawning farm (was tempted to do prawning, but did not)
9. 2.00pm. Mr Tay came and discussed about work experience opportunity.
10. Took a bus to Hougang mall
11. Return VCDs.
12. Came home.

Sounds like a tai tai life.. but can actually be quite boring. Hahaha.

Friends

God has His way of revealing life truths to us. I've learnt today that friendship is a very fragile and vulnerable thing. I have absolutely no difficulty on understanding the verse on "dying for a good man". I often try my best imagining dying for my friend and have no problem with it. But today, something struck me, I was turned down by my friend when I requested for a very very simple task to be done (in comparison to dying for a friend). I am not angry, but instead I thank God for revealing to me how deep my Father's love is to me. I thank God for showing that not everyone thinks the same the way you think about them.
Because of this incident, I was able to relate to a brother-in-Christ who was going through hard times better.

Last post

This is very likely my last post in Tasmania, as I will be travelling down to Bicheno for work experience tomorrow. Pls kindly keep my in prayer and favour..
Thanks...Well.. as a reward, here are some photos for you.

Well..the verdict is that it tasted better than what you get in shops... BUT.. pls don't try to make it when you can get it easily .. Too much of a hassle..seriously..

Country Club

Hahaha... Seki and Sarah said that they have never been to the Casino in Launceston before and I thought that it wouldn't be a complete Lonnie experience if I dun get to see it.. Hence, we decided that we shall go and have a look see.
Actually, it is called Launceston Country Club.. In my opinion, it is one of the nicest infrastructure you can get in Launceston liao. haha.

Praise God

Yeah.. Praise God..I finally passed my driving test.. Sigh.. After so much questioning and anguish. It has been close to a year and there many times when I questioned God on why I kept failing my test. I guess He has his reasons for it.. In His time.. In His time.... He makes all things beautiful in His time..

Ok.. here's some details on my test. hahaha..

I went to the test centre with Sarah and Seki. Upon reaching the counter, I saw the familar face that failed me the past 2 times. Arghhh.. I was reluctant to move forward and waited to see whether there will be any other testers coming. Ahhhhh.. I was supposed to report 15 minutes earlier but I waited till it was 2 mins before the test. I reluctantly walked forward and greeted him. He grined and said sheeplishly " Hi.. How are you? It has been a long time since I last saw you". In my heart I was like " Shit.. How come he remember me..!! Arghhh". But I smiled and replied.." Yeah.. I just finished my major exams yesterday". :)
Well... we walked to the car and he looked at my car and said.. "Its the same car again???" I agreed and said " Yeah... It is.. I know its a lousy car but I will be changing it next year" .. He replied "Fair enough".

We hit the road and went on our way. Throughout the journey.. He was ticking and crossing on the evaluation sheet and I had to keep telling myself.. "Dun bother" Just drive.. * Tension.
And then there goes my car again... All the "Cricket" sound and "Hungry Dinosaur" started like a prehistoric Symphonic and I could sense he was abit annoyed and irritated. He bought me to this really steep and long slope.. I think 3 times as steep as what you can get in Singapore driving circuit.. As my car move upwards in gear 2.. It started to clutter... * A sign of wrong gear selection. I moved down to gear 1 and it started to drag and screech.. Arghhhhhhhhhh..And no.. I didn't hold on to the clutch so it is not the clutch problem. It's the car problem.. Anyway, I swap to gear 2 again and it started cluttering which of course gives me no choice but to move down to gear 1 again. hahaa..

At the parallel parking station, he commented that I parked my car like a monster on the road.. I think he was just exaggerating la.. Not so bad la.. Just not close enough to the curb and not as parallel. hahaa..

Anyway.. After the whole test.. I was really apprehensive. I was like praying.. " God.. pls.. help me to pass".. cause he was like giving me crossess all over.. Oh.. no... then I tried to defend myself and gave excuses.. Eventually.. He said.. I passed and I was like " Haaahhhhhhhhhhh" in my super high pitch falsetto voice. Hahaha.. And He stretch out his hand and congratulated me.. ....He told me "See you on the road sometimes but make sure you behave yourself.. Hahaa.. I told him I will..

Hehee. After the whole test, I had this terrible gastric pain and I had to eat up 5 pieces of Mylanta.. (gastric sweet). We went to charcoal chicken for lunch and I didn't really have appetite to eat.. After lunch, we went to catch "Hairspray" the movie.. I know this movie have been out really really long ago.. but as you can see.. Uni life in Tassie is simply too overwhelming.. None of us had the time then..
ANyway.. the movie was fantastic.. Just my kind of show.. Highly recommended. Hehehe. and I love the songs.. Ooooooooo..

Taaa

Tulip festival

The long awaiting tulip festival photos are here.. I promise that it wouldn't be disappointing..and its well worth the wait.. hehehe.
Anyway, just a little background the trip. The festival was held at Wynyard, North Tasmania. Basically all my housemates went, including the Malaysian Youth Christian Fellowship.

Enjoy..

Tata... Just some information for you guys. The tulip festival is held yearly and only last for a week.. Yes.. only a week. and its held in Oct.. Usually like 3 weeks before exams.. Sigh.. Yeah....

Last paper

Yipee!!!!!! :)Last paper down and I am done...I really thank God for bringing me through this period of revision time. I feel an inch closer to Him, even though it only a period of 2 weeks. Oooooooo.. Its like a routine where I started each morning's revision with Him and ended the night by thanking Him. Asking Him to seal all that I have revised in me and claiming wisdom from Him every time I am faced with a problem.
Praise God.. Praise God.. Praise Him in the morning, Praise Him in the noon time. I simply can't imagine going through all these without Him. I know I am weak and I know that I am imperfect. But that's the reason why I need Him more that you do.. :P

Exam fever

As I approached my last 2 papers, it started to dwell on me the declaration that I made this year. Yes.. That my results will be bring glory to God. To be honest, I don't think I did my best this semester and I felt that it could be better. I guess it just didn't started right the way I wanted it to be and it kind of "snowballed" down. BUT.. but......

"But let him who boasts, boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, who excercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight, " declares the Lord.

Yes... I will boast in the Lord, my God, the Maker of heaven and earth.
