.. Last semester to GO!! ..

School has officially started today, and I am still in Singapore!! HAHA!

One more week and I will be back in Adelaide to do my last semester... AWESOME!!

Gonna give my last good bash because I want to graduate by the end of this year!

Will reach Adelaide Airport on Monday morning at 8am plus... hope to be able to pack everything in 1 luggage so that I can make my way to the Uni easier.... for a lecture at 9am!

One more week in Singapore! So thankful that I can be back for this winter break...

The next very exciting thing I'm so looking forward is....

CHC's 21st Anniversary Celebration this SUNDAY!!! :D

.. Rest in Peace, Uncle & Auntie ..

Finally had the opportunity to visit the tomb of Rachel's parents today in Pagoh, Johor. Very thankful that Jason and Madeline came along, and we managed to do a short worship and prayer together. Amazingly, I felt God's presence was really there as we sang and worshiped in the spirit together. Just want to commit both of their spirits to our gracious Heavenly Father.. I believe God has received them..

And also, may the Lord's hand continues to be upon the whole investigation process. May the results of the DNA testing shed more light into this case.

Rachel appeared rather cheerful and bubbly during the journey there, which was really her usual self. But when we reached the tomb, she broke into tears upon seeing the burial ground.. Our hearts were wrenched too. May our Lord Jesus continues to strengthen her heart with His grace and mercy.

Thankful to God for journey mercy today.. Also believing that He is our Avenger. According to His timing, truth and justice will indeed prevail.

.. Gracious Father ..

Grace is when you know that you should have failed. But you didn't.

Finally, after 2 weeks, exam results were released. It has been such a long wait... the anxiety in hoping that I will clear all 3 courses, especially Mgmt Accounting and Strategic Mgmt.

Once again, God showed me that He is a gracious Father.

Was prepared to retake Strategic Mgmt because it seems the hardest to pass. P1 for both assignments gave me so much pressure towards the exam paper. Didn't manage to complete the paper due to poor time management. But really, all praises to God, I passed the course! :)

Mgmt Accounting. The paper that my mind went BLANK and I almost wanted to leave the exam hall, but decided to give one more try. After saying a prayer, miraculously, thoughts flowed, and tried whatever I can. All glory to God, I got a credit! :)

Last but not least, praise God for a distinction for Finance and Investment! The course that has a 40% failure rate. I'm thankful for this good grade. :)

That summed up the first semester for 2010. One more semester to go... 3 more courses and I will graduate this December! :D

Am really having a good time back home, back in Singapore. Went Sentosa today with some good pals, had a good and relaxed time. So much changes in Sentosa!! Doesn't feel like being in Singapore at all, HAHA. Got badly sun-burnt though!

Had a good time playing with my nephews, they grew up so much in a span of 4 months! Though Daniel has got a fiery temper, he is really so adorable. Samuel too. Can converse with him right now and I always feel such joy whenever I pick him from school, seeing the wide smile on his face when he sees me.

And of course, the good time catching up and chatting with my 2 awesome sisters. Nothing indeed can be compared to home. No wonder there is this saying, "Home Sweet Home". :)

Time flies, 1 week is almost gone! 2 more weeks to go. It has been a good time catching up with some friends.. Gonna meet up a few more and I am looking forward to them!

Going to attend service tomorrow for the first time since February! Indeed feeling so excited!

Thank You Father. Thank You for Your grace that is so evidently over my life.

.. Home in 18 hours ..

SQ278.

Adelaide @ 11.50am.

Singapore @ 5.45pm.

I will be home in 18 hours' time.

I'm feeling so excited that I can't even sleep now! :D

God is really so good...... :)

Was actually really not planning to go home during this winter break. But there has been this deep desire and a prayer to God... "God, can I go home this July?"...

And He indeed fulfills the cry of my heart even though I didn't really pray for it "persistently".

Of course, thank God for my really supportive sister and my really understanding brother-in-law.

Looking forward to spending a really good and fruitful 3 weeks with my loved ones in Singapore.

God is ...... A W E S O M E !!!

.. Melbourne Trip again! ..

Back from Melbourne again! Had a good trip, explored more of Melbourne, it is really a very nice and BIG city! But guess this should be the last trip there... 2 trips are enough! Hope to get to visit other cities like Sydney & Gold Coast next time!

Took this picture at the University of Melbourne. The Uni is really MAJESTIC!!

Will upload more pictures again when I have time. Got to run some errands and start packing because.... I AM GOING HOME THIS SUNDAY!!

YIPPEE!!! :D

.. Last Paper ..

Took my last paper today at 9am, Strategic Management!

The paper was supposed to be ok. But, due to rather bad time management, I couldn't finish answering all the questions. :(

Section 1 was 10 MCQs, which 7 of them I was quite confident. Then section 2 was on readings, which we had to answer 2 of them. There were 26 readings in total, but I only managed to select a few that the tutor talked about more during tutorials. When I looked at the questions, none of the readings were what I had covered. FAINTzzz. Never try spotting again please, ELAINE CHUA!

But thank God one of it was on leadership. So of course, I used my knowledge on leadership and my previous work experiences in Citibank and the last assignment research on Apple Inc to try answering this question.

I skipped one question, hoping that I can come back to it later. So went on to tackle the case study questions which were worth 50%. There were 3 questions in all, 15% 15% 20%. By the time I tried answering the 2nd question of the case study, I realized I have only 40 mins left!!

By the time I tried to answer Q3 which was 20%, I only have 8 mins left!! -_-

Wrote 3 short paragraphs, then indicated "Not enough time!" on the paper before putting my pen down.

What a paper once again!

But I am really thankful that Madeline is so encouraging and supporting. She said a prayer with me over the phone after the paper and I felt really encouraged and ministered by her prayer. Just really got to let go and let God.

It is true that I am carrying some unnecessary pressure upon myself and allowing certain fear to cripple me. Actually I know I shouldn't, but, I still did. The "fear" of not able to graduate this Dec and the "fear" of failing a course and having to spend extra to retake the course again.

Yea. Should get rid of these feelings.

Like what Pastor Phil gave the vivid illustration of the apostle Paul. I know how to be abased and how to abound. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

2 weeks before the release of the results. I am praying for His grace and miracles again.

Actually I was reminded how fearful I felt last semester too. But I still cleared all 4 courses by the grace of God. I was also reminded how I should have failed my practical driving test and yet I still passed.

Perhaps it is going to happen in this semester again. :)

Whatever it may be, indeed, let go, and let God take control.

If I clear this Strategic Management, praise the LORD!! Indeed His grace once again!

If not, I can abound. Re-take the course next semester and I can still graduate this Dec!

I hope to share a great testimony again in 2 weeks' time. :)

And NOW it's................... HOLIDAY!!! YEAH!!! Happiest moment for any student indeed!

Visiting Melbourne again in 2 days' time!
