Updating on my progress on my driving...
Hello my friends! Those who still read my blog. Yes I am here to update about my driving again. Recently have been feeling quite low morale and having quite a couple of nightmares about failing my driving test because i cancelled quite a number of lessons and the instructor never rearrange lessons for me!!! he like super bo chap sia. I understand at least need clock min no of hrs in order to be ready for test de..anyway.
First of all, i would like to say that manual driving is NOT fun at all!
1) Relationship with the clutch and accelerator pedal must be good - I always step on the accelerator too much before releasing my clutch pedal, thus u can hear the very noisy engine sound brrrrrrrr-----ng! Or my engine stalled. Meaning i let go of my clutch too much and step on too little accelerator. Damn lao4 kuei3 especially when there is a SSDC car behind me (i'm learning via private school) You know they always claim their students have higher passing rate than private school students. So I'm gg to make sure I pass and make private school proud! aiya me n my little ego la HAHAHA.
2) Switching gears. Still no feel with the gear stick. Always got the phobia i switch to the wrong gear hahaha so i tend to peep with the corner of my left eye n this endanger those on the road cuz I won't be paying full attention to the road.
3) Mount curb - I just hit high record at the circuit today man! mount curb here and there. the moment i felt the wheel went up the curb my heart sank. i think my heart will stop pumping when it happened during my test. HAHAHA. Seriously dunno y my stupid mind keep thinking i have to keep my steering wheel turned even when im back on the straight course. (instructor had to keep correcting my wheel cuz he said i tend to steer to right side. probably cuz im on the right side LOL!)
4) Stopping on slope and moving off without rollback - Gulp! This one i really jammed hard on the accelerator to ensure when i release my handbrake i won't roll back and freak out the cars behind me man...so far ok la...
5) Vertical and parallel parking - Alot ppl say parallel parking is harder than vertical. To me parallel is easier!!! it's like i just have to memorise the moves that's all. Whereas vertical i tend to mount curb... =3=
To summarize i need more practise man! I almost ramped over some cyclists/passerby or van when i did turning or turn to the wrong lane during previous lesson. Have to keep telling myself it's ok to make ALOT of mistakes so i know what to react when i encounter some real life situation during my test. N of cuz to me if im not good enough i also won't wish the tester to pass me also la. so i have to be 争气点 =。=

My 1st driving lesson!!!
I just started my 1st driving lesson last sat. Was telling Liam I was really nervous and stressed up. You know guys? I had on and off nightmares about driving n crashing into some big trees. It was the spinning out of control feeling. And I was always glad when I woke up, to know that it was just a dream.
What motivated me to take up driving lessons? My advance theory expiry date is nearing! I do not want to take another time :(( So I told myself I better buck up n get my license real soon. So...I signed up with a private instructor. There were generally more positive comments on private instructors than sch instructors. That they are willing to teach you more and more versatile. You need not take min no of lesson to go for test thus save more money. Also rumors that your passing rate will be lower if u go for private instructor sort of caused me to hesitate a bit for gg for private. Anyway in the end it doesn't really bother me. If I'm good y should I be bothered by all these comments? N I'm more concerned about $$. hahaha!!!
I was like telling Liam what if my instructor is some nasty uncle or fierce looking man who did nothing but scold throughout my lesson how? I would be having such a miserable life. Thank God, when I sat in the car, the instructor was a quiet man. He was very calm, gave me 5 mins of orientation and off I drove. I was like? That's it? Thought Liam said my 1st lesson would be purely orientation of car (fiddling with gears, mirrors and etc). I didn't know i got to drive! My left leg is totally cramped from the half clutch positioning =.= I told the instructor I couldn't feel my legs because it turned numb. And I always thought i have to stepped hard on brakes to bring car to a stop! This is just a myth! i only have to rest my foot a bit on the brake pedal and that's it. The car will come to a stop in a few sec. Wow ahhaah! So mountain tortoise. =DD
The challenge i faced were when my car come to a stop at red light and suddenly it turned green i have to switch to gear 1 again (gear 1 i guess is all beginner's misery D: ) you cannot totally let go of clutch at the same time you have to depress the accelerator gently (which i overdid it all the time) but luckily there is no surge of engine or causing engine to stall. ANother thing is car roll back. dunno if the car behind me freaked out or not ahha.
My instructor even praised me that i picked up fast and had good control of half clutch position. of cuz la! with all the cramps in my legs n u tell me i did a bad job then i really sad case liao. =p
And my 2nd lesson? he handed me a piece of paper to study. Parallel parking. Horror of horrors of most drivers. Liam said he taught fast. dunno good or bad. Well that's it. more to come. Will update soon!

Had a good chat with my mum.
After getting married, i made it a point to go back my aunt's house once a week to stay over night. The purpose of it is to keep my mum, aunt, cousin and susu company and update me anything under the sky.
There is always this burden when I go home, which is time allocation for each and everyone of my dearest. Sometime I will spend more time with my cousin, some with my aunt and seldom with my mum because she is always engrossed in her HK drama.
Time after time I start to feel a bit disheartened to communicate with my mum because she will ask me don't disturb her and leave her alone. This time round, I prayed, asking God to open a way for me to start a conversation with her. After the prayer, i walked into the room, and as usual lie on her bed and company her while she fold the paper money to be burnt for CNY and watching drama at the same time. I was about to give up after 5mins when she started chatting with me like a friend. Sharing with me her pek chekness at work, funny and challenging stuff she encountered. At that time, her dvd player was having some prob playing her fav show and I was like, "THANK YOU LORD!!!" I knew it in my heart. God answered my prayer immediately and literally.
Although most of the time she was the one sharing her story but i really enjoyed the time with her. it was straight 2 hrs chat and I was still amazed and in awe with God's immediate answering of my prayer. Indeed, I had a fruitful time spent with my mum...=)
Somehow, God is telling me don't give up. This is a life long marathon...
And yup we 4 ladies did lao yu sheng together. it was pretty d.i.y. My mum bought it from her friend in Msia and I tell you, it was enough to feed 10 ppl. Look at that! Anyway it was totally yummy because it was a modified version (no raw fish, mostly crunchy colorful biscuits) And I feel loved every time she buys food for me because I know it's her way of showing me she loves me =D

Xiaoyu laoshi's 2012 bdae celebration!
Yesterday is my fav laoshi's bdae, and shaomei had a brilliant idea by coming up with personalised design cake for laoshi. Don't you think it looks like her? it's from icing room. ;)
This post is specially dedicated to you laoshi. I know u will read my blog so i'm gg to write a very touching post to you haha.
Reflecting back when I first joined SBC, that's when you officially came back from Msia church to serve SBC. That time i do not know you at all but there were already alot praises about you that you are a very nice teacher. Till now you still are and I'm very fortunate, honored and thankful that we have u in SBC. And i always consider you as my dearest...
10 years had passed. I never see you any day to be lacking the zeal for God. I always look up to you and your passion for God too. Your willingness to step out from a teacher to become servant for God is what I'm really impressed about.
Your care and concern is what i'm always thankful and grateful for. i always felt comforted whenever you ask me how's things are, which made me feel u care about me, and there are so many people in church that you have to care for and i can see you gave equally much attention n concern to them! I just felt very blessed!
Thank you for your never ending encouraging words and love, especially the year when Liam was in Cambodia...you and Pastor Lucy are like angels that God sent to care for me. I will never forget the movie dates we have on mondays!:)
Lastly, your patience for us...
You have so much good qualities that i cannot finish praising about but laoshi, i want to tell you, i really cherish you and I am very happy to have you as my counsellor, teacher, sister in Christ and friend! Wishing you a blessed 2012, yes, to live for Christ! May Lord grants you new strength for each day!

A miracle witnessed today.
Hello guys, I'm back! After a year of resting and sorting out my thoughts, it's time i start blogging again. The purpose of blogging this time is very different. My main reason is to recorded every single blessing i experienced from God as I'm a very short term memory person. Plus as it approaches the end of 2012 i will always be amazed how much God has blessed me every single sec of my life, and also learn to give thanks in times of difficulty n trouble.
Today, as usual i was called into my boss room together with my manager. we thought it's gg to be a briefing on our weekly task. However, she said it's nothing about work but personal. she wanted us to come together and pray for a friend we know whose baby is gg for an operation to create a gap for the skull so that the brain has room for growth. The baby developed his skull too fast and thus the brain has no more room to grow. it was going to be a 4 hours operation and our friend was worried his baby couldn't take the trauma.
So, after knowing the background story, we started to pray. At that moment, it was very peaceful and we felt God's with us n our friend's family. Like my title suggested, we received good news! The operation was successful! Some people may brush it aside saying, maybe the doc is good or the baby is lucky. I personally do not believe in luck because I know everything happens for a reason, and God is behind all these. For a greater purpose. I had been through difficult times during 2009-2010 thus I can say it is only thru difficult times that people know they are mere humans and they have their limitations on certain things, and learnt to be humble. Managers, people high up the status are also willing to put down their status n come together to pray during these times.
It is too much luck if some people still want to put it that way. Nevertheless i thank God that the baby is safe ;)

Our wedding, His.
God is good.
When we put Him as our priority, He gave our desire to us....more than we deserve or can react to..
God is good.
This wedding,our primary objective is to show how God loves us, mould us to let us become of what n who we are today, and finally together. Throughout the whole wedding can say mostly are d.i.y stuff..i reali dun trust bridal shops with standard package n doesn't meet my objective. My aim is to maximise the resources i have and still meet my expectation..from my gown n grooms suit, bro n sister dressing to deco and many more...since Dar is not working for past one year. . have been busy sourcing, looking for design etc.. andl i see how God gave us many more n we do not have to worry at all for our wedding. Alot of young couples nowadays are worried about cash poor but we do not have to. And this come from dar's grandma's prayer. She is so worried like many other ppl how would dar survive without working for one year. and i can tell u, when we first seek God's kingdom, many more will be added upon u...
He also gave dar a car to drive when he needed most to run wedding errands. And this come from dar's grandma's prayer too. The power of prayer. Liam always told grandma... "神最爱听老人祷告了。 因为那是最真诚和直接的" =D
We do not view it as a coincidence or just so happen. Becuz we believe, by faith, with prayer n action, God shows us his greatness n abundant blessings.
Definitely, we have so many challenges n hurdles to overcome before this wedding is completed.
>Candles cannot be used in church
>Wedding Gallery almost not in time...canvas alot color printing prob..keep reprinting.
>Love story Video Clip till last 3 days still rushing...voice recording done in wee 3 am...n dar has to dig me up from snoring while he thinks of the script for me to say...poor him..he worse..nvr sleep at all!!!
>Childhood montage couldn't find william's baby photo..desperate until wan use his cousin's de n impersonate as him!!
And time is running out n dar has no time to think of storyboard..n while we were fretting, God sent us an angel called Peiyi to ask if we need help. we really heave a sigh of relief that someone know us very well are taking over this project!!! In the end, peiyi says she outsource to her sis cuz she too busy...n im reali grateful Liyi helped us amidst her busy schedule!
>wanted give him surprise n still rehearsing with Gwen the night before wedding day thru hp..with alot distortion n noises.
Gwen - not only help me to perform live on wedding day, also took the effort to go thru the song together im gg to sing as a surprise for dar dar...love uuu..i will nvr forget the happy time we rehearse tog...good memory although oni one day....
>Wanted to start strict diet from oct 1st but to no avail..everyday was so energy sapping...food is only the console to me.Who say bride need beauty sleep? i got ginvera roll away panda eyes! ok Ben super good makeup skills i must say..n he praised me and liam for our better looking good skin from photoshoot.

>Mum wants me to change my wedding date cuz she superstitious about clashing with gradma who has just passed away. Respect n giving in is 2 different matters. i faced cold war with her for 1 full week. my never ending prayer, smses, soften he heart...
>Mum's unreasonable request to want me march in with his bf. cannot blame her for her ignorance. Marching in is a very holy n scared wedding ceremonial part. in the end thru patience n love i show to her, and in God's time, she accepted that I march in myself. To honor her n not giving in to her unreasonable request. alot ppl says:" aiya your wedding coming soon, dun quarrel more with yr mum later she really dun turn up for your wedding." I really love her n have put the point straight, i honor u not thru this, this is my wedding and i will choose to march in alone. N really thank God, marching in is not alone, God is beside me, not lonely at all..n Liam say it is very special n beautiful. *hahah thnk God again i didn't trip...and thanks for the cheering from my frens!!!! this really encourages me.

Nicholas - Mr nice guy whom we flying off soon to bully!!
Junyan - the super reserve n loners guy(on the right) but yet super annoying n fun to us at same time
Shared with my sisters that i quarrelled with liam almost every single day. From invite card, to gallery display to video..
Glad that Gerald is very tactful to omit that 'guy' from my express highlight...=D
Also thank God that my mum didn't stunt us with 'now u should call him father already' during tea ceremony..Liam was bravo! "he told this guy, hope u will marry mother soon and take good care of her." to me, this is my mum's greatest wish..
If this wedding is to please human, we will never be satisfied or meet their expectation, but becuz our objective is clear, which is to honor God, till now i do not feel a sense of loss when the wedding is over. =)
Loved Wenqing laoshi n xuelun laoshi speech for us during ceremony, this is the 2nd wedding message i will rmb till i old, other than Qilei's n Kevin's de..so sweet and personalised for us!

left over admin stuff n have some time to pack...so i must thank Mr Ngoo for his farsight and many angels like dinxin n yan for the planning too. now i noe y dinxin miss our wedding. so he has a greater purpose at Perth there. to be our tour guide!...=D
Nicholas - Mr nice guy whom we flying off soon to bully!!
Junyan - the super reserve n loners guy(on the right) but yet super annoying n fun to us at same time
Shared with my sisters that i quarrelled with liam almost every single day. From invite card, to gallery display to video..
Glad that Gerald is very tactful to omit that 'guy' from my express highlight...=D
Also thank God that my mum didn't stunt us with 'now u should call him father already' during tea ceremony..Liam was bravo! "he told this guy, hope u will marry mother soon and take good care of her." to me, this is my mum's greatest wish..
If this wedding is to please human, we will never be satisfied or meet their expectation, but becuz our objective is clear, which is to honor God, till now i do not feel a sense of loss when the wedding is over. =)
Loved Wenqing laoshi n xuelun laoshi speech for us during ceremony, this is the 2nd wedding message i will rmb till i old, other than Qilei's n Kevin's de..so sweet and personalised for us!
