1. The moment I said "Yes, I do." in front of the Pastor, witnessed by the congregation. Woooooo don't get me wrong, it's not my wedding day. It's the day that I was baptisted! 23rd December 2007 is Kenneth's birthday in Christ. Praise the Lord!
2. At the midnight of 12.12.2007, when I received the news that the result was released. It was supposed to be released on 13 December yet it came out one day earlier. The moment that I clicked "log in" after keying in my Perth ID and password. Prayed hard yet still my heart was pumping as fast as a racing horse. Praise the Lord again I passed all the units! Not with flying colurs, in fact, with fading colours. But at least I passed ES! Wooohoooo! Gotta work harder in 2008.
3. The moment that I received the small Christmas gift from Sharon after we went to the education fair. Love the little red socks and the book!
4. The moment I stepped on the stage during the Christmas celebration of church. It's my first time being the MC in church! Oh well I did not bad. Lol lol...
5. The moment when the clock striked 12, signifying the end of 2007 and beginning of 2008. Was sitting in a circle with candles surrounding us, playing some games as well as having some pillow talk with a bunch of friends, sharing the good times and bad times of the year, about personal life, etc. Love the atmosphere, the personal things of one another that we never know, the games, everything. Too bad we didn't had it a lil longer!
6. The moment that one of the hawkers shouted "Hallelujah!" as we were carolling for Christmas. We walked around places with crowds, from shoplots, hawker stalls to parks, instead of the conventional house-to-house carolling. One of the hawkers asked me if we were going to do it again the next day, I apologised and said that this was the only day that we were carolling for Christmas, but promised next year we'll definitely come again. He shouted "Hallelujah~!" upon hearing this. Wow that moment was touching. All our efforts were worth it. Claps for all carolling members!
Despite the disastrous year of 2007, December is a month worth keeping in memory. With 2008 here, let's hope the best for tomorrow! Happy new year people!

天下的妈妈都是一样的
昨天，和朋友打完网球后，决定到外头吃，接着再去看戏。结果我就随着他回到家，打算冲了凉以后才出外吃。
哪知道他的妈妈早已煮了一大堆食物，等着他回家吃。在场的我也被邀一同享用晚餐。
我们吃着吃着的时候，他妈妈一路唠唠叨叨地说着，“XXX, 多吃一点，我特地留这个鸭腿给你吃啊，明天你回去新山读书就没有人煮给你吃了。”
她知道我们稍候约好了朋友一同吃饭，还不忘叮咛他儿子，“你在外面不要吃太多哈，回来再吃这些家里菜，明天你走了就没有好吃了！”
我看着听着，发现她说的话，和我妈每当在我将要回去读书时所说的，都大同小异。
“慈母手中线，游子身上衣，
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归，
谁言寸草心，报得三春晖？”
原来天下的妈妈都是一样的。生活习惯也许不同，教育程度或许有高低，但爱子之心，却是一样地深切。

黄昏以后，天亮以前
有些事情，不是不去想，就代表已经忘记；不是不回头看，就可以当没事情发生过。
最近卫视正播着一部苏玉华主演的港剧。在不久以前我就已经很喜欢苏玉华，觉得她有一种独特的气质。三十多岁了，仍相貌娟好，演技又自然，很有成熟女人的味道。更重要的是，我常常觉得她很像你。上次我常会傻乎乎地想象以后三十多岁的你，是不是也是像苏玉华这样的呢？也许我喜欢的不是苏玉华，而是因为她长得像你，可能才会爱屋及乌似的也觉得她漂亮吧。
昨天，和一位朋友到 Tun Jugah 去逛逛，经过那间首饰店时，一位员工尽然还认得出我。哈哈，还记得那时候，我在那里买了一条项链，牌子上还印有我们俩的名字和照片。结果常迟到的我还吩咐她快快地把刻印的工作赶给我，不然又要迟到了。但时过境迁，如今人事已非。
和朋友到电影院看戏，会有一种莫名的落寂感。以前我们喜欢握着彼此的手，你会连续性的按我的手四下。你说四下，代表“你爱我吗“四个字。过后我就请按两下，说着“我爱”。然后你又会多按两下，问“多少？”接着我们就两手紧握，象征着永恒，永不放开。
也不知为什么，昨天偏偏听到了很多属于我们的歌，Utada Hikaru 的 First’s Love，张震岳的思念是一种病，到 Celine Dion 的 Because You Love Me，全都钩起了的那沉寂在脑海里的回忆。
我的手机经常还是会 Message Inbox 爆满，导致别的讯息无法进入。从前你所发送给我的讯息，我都还保存着，舍不得删除。只能在爆满时，逼不得已，删除一封好让下一封可以进来。
我们第二次的分开，我已不再有如第一次时的那种伤心。有的，仅是沉默中的悲，懊悔中的痛。
我已试着不去想，因为和你的，我都记住了，只待时间去尘封。
在这黄昏以后，天亮以前的时分，我在惦记着你。
不知你也是否如此？

Musings
QUT, UniSA, UTAS does not offer chemical engineering.
University of Adelaide is too good for my results in Curtin.
Living expenses in Melbourne and Sydney is far too expensive for me.
Looks like.... I'll eventually end up in Curtin.

Praise The Lord
Abba Father, You never stop giving me 2nd chances. Even though I've broken Your heart, yet You never forsaken me, and I know You never will. Despite the hard moments You had given me, I know clearly that You want the best for me, for You know better than I do about what's best for me. I thank You Lord, with all my heart and soul, with all I that can sing and all I that can say, for You are worthy, my Lord. For Your love and grace, I lift Your name up high, Hallelujah, praise the Lord of Heaven and Earth!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

Crap of A Holiday Week
Just had my lunch and kenak slaughter ('ho lang tai' in Hokkien) by the taukenio. She charged me RM9 for some pork and kacama chicken and some cabbage. Ggrrrr, geram.
I never expected this holiday would be such busy. Not really busy la, but can say full of activities lo.
This week is the first week I gave home tuition to two kids. One primary kid and one form 3 guy to be exact. One more Fifth-former coming up in January. Big challenge for me. People from all-walks-of-life come after Kenneth for tuition. Wahahaha I'm so laku. *syiok sendiri*. Actually just coincidentally that the people whom I know wants tuition for their kids, so they find me lo.
One of the kids that I'm teaching suffers from Tourette Syndrome. Meaning he will repeatingly do some actions such as blinking uncontrollably etc. He tends to blurt out obscene words too at times. Very obscene ones. But can't blame him at all, cos he totally can't control himself. Other than this syndrome, he's a hardworking and bright boy.
On a totally unrelated note, christmas carolling will be starting next week. This year we'll be going to crowded places instead of house to house. So that can reach out to more people ma. Then more people will come. Then more people will get to know about gospel. Good point too. But I still prefer carolling house to house la. Got more 'feel' ma.
By the way, I just taught the sunday school kids in Kuching starting from today. Next week still gotta teach them for holiday kids' camp for three days. The kids over here in SIB Kuching are better than the Miri ones. Or maybe cos the class that I teach here is Primary 3 so perhaps they're more obedient than the kindergarten children. Or maybe simply because today's my first day of teaching so they havent showed me their true colours yet.
But don worry if they really do, I'll redefine the meaning of 'true colours' for them. *cracks fist*
Last night I received a SMS from Australia in the middle of the night. Lol I was darn surprised to see that the message is from Chen Sin! When you come back must have a long long chat with you. MSN chat la, not face to face, who ask you stay so far in Penang. But really, so glad to hear from you again, buddy.
Oh by the way I havent met Andre this holiday. Must find you out someday man.
Just celebrated Maria's birthday last night. It was supposed to be a surprise party. But she didnt seem to be surprised le. Cos we were too obvious liao. Anyway, Happy Birthday, Wong Qin.
Then went walk walk at Friendship Park. That place become so lousy now leh. The fountain's water cincai shoot one. Then the lights mostly off, dark dark like that scary nia. Unlike last time. We stayed for around 20 minutes nia then left.
And the 3 of us almost got lost inside the lorongs of Jalan Song.
I expected the party to be longer and more exhilarating. It was a little short as everyone had to leave early. Anyway, it's still great to have everyone sitting down and chit chatting.
Not to forget the dinner with Mary's 10-year-old brother that Wednesday night. Shame to say, me Sharon Jun Fook Maria these da koko and da cheche bully him one person. But he really got a way to handle us. I couldn't remember the last time I talked to a kid this way. Lol.
“东方有多大，东风让你知。”
Hahahaha...
And oh, thanks for drama Sharon. I like the xiong zhoi sam one. Looks nice!
Till then, happy holiday, folks :)
