Mushroom in a dress

Mushroom looks so pretty in a dress, with her hair all pinned up nicely! And to think she doesn't want to wear them.

Everyone go see the photos. She really looks very pretty in them!

How Excellent Your Name

Oh Lord, our Lord
How excellent Your name is
How excellent Your name in all the earth
Your glory fills the heavens
Beyond the furtherest star
How excellent Your name in all the earth

When I think about the heavens
The moon and all the stars
I wonder what You ever saw in me
But You took me and You loved me
And You've given me a crown
And now I praise Your name eternally

This song just suddenly popped in my head, and the second part just stood out so much. I really feel that God is speaking to me through this song and yeah, I kinda don't feel as heavy hearted as before. So yay.

Remembering the moments

End of school. Another year just simply zoomed past. And well, before the year come to an end, I just want to acknowledge my friends in Taylors College.

Coming to Melbourne wasn't an easy decision for me and having no friends here made it a whole lot worst. But God has really blessed me with each and every one of you (my friends from Taylors) Knowing each of you have made my life so much more fun. From the first day when I met Jinli and when I first met Mush. How I met Ben in English class and Aiwee through him. And everyone just kept coming into the picture.

It was just amazing to have known all of you and I really thank God for each and every one of you. You guys un-dulled my life and enriched my 'aussie experience'. And I don't think I want to go into so much detail before I start crying in my room.

But yeah, I really don't know what I'll do without all of you. So thanks a lot guys! I really really love you all

Cell Info Session 2008

The session today was really a good one, so thanks Dong, Liwei, Ben and Yen. Each and everyone of you actually impacted my life in one way or another today. Ok. It's very hard to share what went through my mind here. Guess it's also rather personal so I don't really want to put it on my blog. But you can ask me if you really want to know.

Hmm let's see.
4 more days till my mum comes.
4 more days till graduation
12 more days till start of exams
15 more days till coffee min starts
22 more days till exams end
24 more days till I fly back to Singapore (WAH SO FAST AH)

OH AND JUST TO INFORM THE WHOLE WORLD! I, MONICA LEE, PASSED MY LEARNER'S PERMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!! I'm one step closer to driving!! How exciting!!

Happy Birthday CHIARUIJUN!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS CHIA RUIJUN!
hope you had a fun fun birthday.
(I need to come up with a nickname for you soon!)

Line 7

Line 7 are getting more and more funny by the day. I think it must be due to the stress. We're screaming, laughing our heads off and just being completely whacky. And until now, I can't get over what happened today.

Aiwee knocked over Jinli's water bottle
Jinli (being super childish) took Aiwee's bottle and threw it
And after a while, this guy came.
Aiwee:Excuse me, can you pick up my bottle
(the guy ignored her, or maybe he didn't know he was being talked to and just continued walking)
Aiwee: OIIIIIII!!!
(the poor guy had to walk back just to get her bottle)

Oh oh. And I really don't get Aiwee at times most of the time.
Aiwee: What are we eating tomorrow. It's the last week 2 wednesday lunch of the year
Me: What do you want?
Aiwee: I don't know, just choose
Me: Umm. Ghin Khao? Nam loong? Pacific house? Dessert house?...
Aiwee: I don't want
Me: Ok so tell me what you want
Aiwee: SOMETHINGGGGG DELIGHTFULLL
Me: (too stunned for words)
And then we started making fun of that. Or rather Jinli started making fun of that. Haha.

Ok enough rambling. I shall go start on my work. Haha. OH AND MR PLUNKETT (english teacher) CAN SPEAK CHINESE! HOW COOL IS THAT!!! Haha. And many other languages. Haha.

Happy Birthday Nessa!

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY VANESSA!!!

Hope you enjoyed yourself even though we kinda gave ourselves away when we were scampering around the house. Haha.

Oh btw, let me know if you have any photos that you want

Here In My Life

I have never walked on water
Felt the waves beneath my feet but
At Your word Lord, I’ll receive Your
Faith to walk on oceans deep

And I remember how You found me
In that very same place
All my failing surely would have drowned me
But You made a way

You are my freedom
Jesus You’re the reason
I’m kneeling again at Your throne
Where would I be without You
Here in my life, here in my life

You have said that all the heavens
Sing for joy at one who finds
The way to freedom, truth of Jesus
Bought from death into His life

And I remember how You saw me
Through the eyes of Your grace
And though the cost was Your Beloved for me
Still You made a way!

You are my freedom
Jesus You’re the reason
I’m kneeling again at Your throne
Where would I be without You
Here in my life, here in my life

You are my freedom
Jesus You're the reason

Bad day

Today is starting to be a bad day. I come back up from breakfast only to have this horrendous backache which is killing me! And on top of that, I am totally unable to focus on anything. I can barely do one question of anything. And it doesn't help that my phone keeps ringing because of all those telemarketers. I know it's not easy to be a telemarketer but seriously, I'm 17. What on earth do they want me to buy from them? I don't even have a credit card!

And now my stomach is feeling all weird. And I still can't focus on anything. Sighh.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUSHROOM!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUSHROOM!!!! You're finally 17, even though, quoting you, "age is just a number!" Hope you enjoyed your birthday and your birthday card!!! And hope you saw many backsides today! And stop showing me your predigested food. It's super gross. Don't give me that stupid face and that stupid tongue. Your neck is still your weakness!! Muahaha. XOXO MUSH!! You know we all love you! Haha. And I know you love me =D

End of holidays

Sadly, this is the last day of the two week break. It was really a very fun break and I'm so sad that it has to come to an end. This will be my last post for quite a while (or so I hope)

Daylight savings started today and I'm taking quite a while to adjust to it, especially the calling back part. (ok I just had the weirdest problem with my keyboard, something about sticky keys? Whatever that is) And now I'm so tired. I'm very sure that this has to be one of my most unproductive holidays that is so close to exams. 4 more weeks!!!!!!!

Ok I'm getting sleepy. Maybe I should sleep early. Hope school is fun.

OH I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MS SUSS AGAIN!! (oh darn it. All my books are in the hostel. How am I going to carry everything?)

I don't know what I'm talking about.

Oh before I forget. If you think about, losing an hour can be rather scary. Like where did it go? It's like mush's supernatural stuff. An hour just disappearing. It's quite creepy ok. Even though when I say it, it just sounds stupid. Ok I need to stop rambling.

I WANT THAT HOUR BACK!!!! I LOST SO MUCH SLEEP BECAUSE OF THAT ONE HOUR!!!GAHHH

Singapore Day

Singapore Day was good I guess. Reached there at 1015 and was supposed to meet like the people in my cell there, to show everyone how kiasu we are. But they never fail to show me that they have punctuality issues.

I expected like more for Singapore Day but it was just like three propaganda stands, a lot of food, and a stage hosting propaganda. So it was kinda like a day whereby if you're not careful, you could get brainwashed. Haha.

But with good weather + good friends + free food and drinks + a lot of freebies + the occasional cool breeze, well it turned out quite fun. I conclude that I prefer the weather here (except maybe summer) compared to Singapore.

Anyway, I really better start studying and doing more productive stuff with my life. Exams are coming!! Ohh. Day light savings start tomorrow, so I'm going to lose an hour tonight, and then I'll be 3 hours ahead of Singapore again. Sighh. Anyway, if you want the pictures, just ask me online and I'll tell you the link. Yupp.

Toodles!

Yen's 21st

Today was one of the funniest birthdays I've ever celebrated! It's so hard to type out what happened and so I shan't. But ask me ok?! It's so so funny. I shall upload the video once I get my hands on it.

Haha Yen. I'm going to be teasing you so so often! Now I get to bully you back!!! Yipee!

Anyway, some pictures...

#1 - Smiling so happily when we're celebrating Clement's birthday (pretending to play along)

#2 - Getting a bit impatient with us during dinner (wondering desperately when the sabo will start)

#3 - So terrified of the sabo ( I bet he regretted anticipating this)

I never knew my cell leader was such a paranoid person. And quote Tiffany, 'so full of himself'. But then again, he was a good cell leader. Too bad he's not our cell leader next year. Haha. Oh I hope next year's sabo is super duper bad!!! I better not say so much. My birthday comes first. Good thing he doesn't know my blog... i think.

Anyway. HAPPY BIRTHDAY YEN!!!
you have to admit it, I bring joy to the cell!! haha. Ok no more ego talk

Disgusting

THIS IS PLAIN GROSS AND SICK! link

To my dear brothers

I remember how we used to fight so often, especially Brendan. I remembered saying that you were the trouble maker since you fought with both Ian and I. All those fights the three of us had all seems so childish now when you look back at it.

I know I used to think it was a curse to have the two of you as brothers and I was more than willing to trade the two of you away for anything and everything.

But now, I take that all back. No one can ever be better brothers than the two of you. I know I won't let anything happen to the two of you, no matter what. Even if it means giving up my dreams.

Well, basically I'm just saying, I really love you two!

I guess being apart for a year has really shown me how much I love them. Phone conversations with them just keep getting better and better :)



and no ziteng, I'm not copying you in the sense that I have photos every post. It just so happens that the past few posts ended up like that.

Lovely weather

It's such a lovely day and the weather forecast says it's going to be sunny all day. And what am I doing? Studying.

Studying on days with such lovely weather should be a crime.

What are the chances of such perfect weather in Melbourne? I should just throw all my books aside and just go out. But exams start at the end of the month, so I've no choice but to stay here.

Oh how I long to go to the beach...

I love this photo
(poor Liwei looks like he's going to cry)
