Hey people!! I am back from PlanetUni camp!!!! It was awesome!!!! But have no idea why I didnt take much photos.. hehehe.. it was my birthday last weekend.. and frens threw me a beautiful birthday dinner at Statalacities ( I think that's what it's called ).. This Greek restaurant on Russell Street.. was fantastic.. Anyways.. will blog about my birthday soon.. hhehe.. was browsing through the photos just now.. think these photos are awfully cute.. hahaha.. :P Enjoy!

L-R : My lovely housemate, Vocan; Ying and My awesome babi, Cadence! Hahaha :P

Now, this is funny... here we see Jin hugging his girlfiend, Nelsie
Yeah.. we feel the love yea? So sweet..

Here, you see JEFF wanting to share the love also.. so he goes and hug Jin..

NOW, here.. cadence wants to be a part of it as well..
so she goes and hug Jeff whose hugging Jin whose hugging Nelsie..
The only thing short for this photo would be one more person hugging Cadence..
and it would then form a circle.. where everyone's going to feel the love... hahahha.. :P

Never judge a book by its cover

I was reading a friend's blog the other day.. when I read what he wrote.. I was surprised with what he wrote.. I started to think.. How is it that a guy so composed, so sure of himself, so serious, so caring, so happy at all times was actually hiding his emotions behind that mask? He made me realise that no one is perfect no matter how circumstances might suggest so.. There are ups and downs in everyone's lives.. it's the way we approach them that makes us that unique individuals we all are.. Life's biggest challenge is not to out win the next person.. not to prove to the world that you can do it.. but it's to prove to YOURSELF that you can do it.. that you are worthwhile.. no one can pull anyone out of their despair.. only they themselves can..

Friend, although I do not know you well.. but you are a strong person.. that much of your character I can say.. and for that I am sure you will pull through.. By God's Grace, everything will be better for you in this new year.. :) I am glad to see you smile again..

Friends..

First.. sorry for the lack of updates.. tonnes of things have been happening over the last one month.. but all's good.. :)

Cindy's latest post made me start thinking about how important friends are in all of our lives.. that inevitable role they play in our lives.. some frens are meant to be hi bye frens.. yet some frens are lifelong frens.. I'm very confident and fortunate to say that I have many frens of the latter category.

Sunway has without a doubt gave me the best 18 months of my life.. No doubt we had our differences, we had our fair share of misunderstandings and arguements.. We were still family.. Do you guys remember our family tree? Hahaha.. I miss the gatherings we had at 08-02.. I miss my room in apartment 19-3A!! I miss the late night UNO sessions.. the throwing of people into the swimming pool during their birthdays! :) You guys have played such a great part in my life.. and I constantly still think and miss you all greatly.. but I know when we meet.. we will never be strangers.. we wont look at each other and treat each other differently just because of our professions.. some of us will be doctors, some lawyers, accountants and some businesspeople.. but whatever it is.. I'm grateful for one thing.. like how cindy put it.. I'm grateful that our lives crossed paths once.. and because of that one fact.. we will always remain part of one another's lives.. :) We can sit down ten years from today.. and say "yeah.. sunway was wonderful! It was one of the best times ever.. and we went through it TOGETHER!"

My bestie, cindy.. the one person who can keep me sane.. hahaha.. and I..

My 18th birthday bash.. The condo gang! :D

the sunway family.. wendy's not in the photo.. :(

When I started yet this new chapter here in Melbourne.. I often had a habit of comparing my new frens here with those I have back home.. that sense of being lost.. I wanted to be in familiar surroundings again... but times have changed.. As much as I miss you all.. I have learned not to compare anymore... I'm grateful for every single friend I have here in Melbourne.. I'm grateful that in this short period of time.. we have all been here for one another... we have been yet another family.. Likewise, with all of our differences.. we're all sticking together.. creating new memories of our own.. :) Every single one of you mean a lot to me.. and you guys are all part of my past, my present and my future.. :) Having everyone in my life has been a true blessing! Us knowing one another has never been a coincidence... God has meant for it to happen.. We are placed into one another's lives for a purpose.. :) and for that I thank Him greatly.. for I can never ask for anyone better than any of you!
